She also invited me into her home so I could see where Tiggy would be spending her time and that was great for my peace of mind.”

“Our cat, Rubyn, has diabetes that requires an insulin shot twice a day so finding a reliable sitter that we can trust to provide those shots while spending quality time with him has been challenging. Luckily we found Lucy! She was fantastic. She clearly made Rubyn very comfortable based off of the numerous picture and videos she sent along with the detailed report cards. We were extremely nervous to go away on this trip but each update put me and my wife more and more at ease. She showed so much love and affection to our little guy. We can’t recommend Lucy enough! We’ll definitely be using her again”

I was able to have peace of mind while I was away. Thank you Annalise!”

“I could not be happier with Maria and Caesar. My dog, Gary, can be a nervous little guy but by day 2, he was already happy to see Caesar at drop off and Caesar was excited to see him too! Maria sends me pictures and updates every day Gary is with them which gives me peace of mind while I’m at work. They’ve been really flexible with drop off and pick up times and have even accepted last minute bookings. I can’t say enough good things about Maria and Caesar and if Gary could talk, I’m sure he would say the same.”

“We asked Juyeon to look after our dogs, Ella and Andy, for a single day, and we’re pleased with the experience. She was extremely flexible and accommodating, especially since we needed to drop them off early in the morning. Juyeon took great care of Ella and Andy, giving them short walks 6 times throughout the day, which was very thoughtful given they weren’t in the mood for longer walks. She kept us updated, was quick to respond, and gave us peace of mind. Overall, we’re happy we asked Juyeon to care for Ella and Andy, and we’d love to have her dog sit for us again in the future.”

He’s a great communicator and it’s so comforting to leave my (big) dog with him when I’m at work knowing she’s fully taken care of. Can’t recommend him enough!”
“Vista had so much fun during daycare with Junho and Boki! Junho was very communicative of how Vista was doing, making sure she had everything she needed to enjoy her days, from her food, to play and outside time. It is clear that he truly loves dogs and I would recommend him to anyone looking for someone with a kind heart to care for their pet.”
“Jess is absolutely great . She was able to accommodate to our last-minute request for daycare for our dog Bruno and was very understanding of our dog’s needs.

About: Year of the Dog heart, dog lover by nature! 🐶❤️ I grew up in a home with three dogs, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. I've cared for my senior dog until she was 13, including preparing home cooked meals and helping administer medications for her health needs. Right now, I don’t have any pets in my home and work a fully remote job, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time and attention to dedicate to caring for your fur babies. I work a full time remote position and have flexibility in my routine to give care, love & attention, treats and potty breaks to your beloved pets. My home is pet friendly and free of any hazards. I have a fenced yard and can take your dog on walks in my neighborhood if needed.
“Michelle is amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure my dog was comfortable and felt safe during the meet and greet and first full visit. He came home happy tuckered out after a great day. Would definitely recommend!”
“Nancy has been a fantastic caregiver for my dog! Her communication is thorough, she sends me pictures throughout the day, and she has been really wonderful about all of my pet’s medical needs. She feels like a real partner! A+ for Nancy!”

“This was the first time I left my rescue poodle - who has separation anxiety - with anyone. Charlene was a dream....he was comfortable with her right away and had enough fun so that he was calm when he saw me again - it was almost as if he wasnt' done playing with her! I would ask for her again in a heartbeat.”

About: Hi! I’m Alexandra. My husband and I have been dog sitting for several years and love providing a loving home away from home for our furry guests. We have a fully fenced yard where our dogs and their doggy friends can run, play and enjoy extra company safely. I’m a full-time dog walker during the week with the flexibility and time to give your pup the care they deserve. I previously worked at a veterinary clinic and have volunteered with various animal rescue organizations. I have experience with many breeds and personalities, ensuring each dog gets individualized attention. Your pup’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. We do not have children, so dogs who prefer a child-free environment are always welcome here.
“Kylie is great! She’s responsive, punctual, dependable and very personable. Most importantly, Samara loves her! I highly recommend Kylie and will be requesting her for additional walks.”
About: Growing up with dogs in the family made me learn how to care for them naturally and see animals as friends. I will be more than happy to know your buddy, make sure they have everything they need, and have amazing moments together. I’m working part time and mostly available up to two hours during the morning and evenings after 5pm. Weekends are flexible with all day availability and flexibility. I always double check any house doors, to make sure it’s safe. Keep them near me in any outdoor environment is a rule, never unleashed or left alone outside. I’ll love to know more about your dogs habits and personality to adjust to their needs, restrictions and expectations.
“Responded to a last-minute request and provided prompt response to questions. She was also willing to meet my pup before walking. Showed up on time and was very sweet and patient with my little princess Vizsla!”

Can work weekdays and weekends with more availability weekends. Can work days and nights. I take expert cat care seriously as I want to give your cat the same love as my own: toys, clean boxes, fresh food and water, and plenty of pets. As for dogs, I want them to have fun walking and playing outside in nature.
