“Mikal was wonderful! She immediately put me at ease as I was very anxious about leaving my dogs. Ranger and Olivia loved her and were very at ease in her home! The daily pictures let me know that all was well. I highly recommend her!”

“Hamlets is so amazing, they love dogs and it shows. I love how she keeps us updated and posts pictures. Your dog will get so spoiled they won’t want to come home. We have used her two times now and have no regrets!!”


“Ms Linda was wonderful. This is the first time that we have used a sitter that was not a family member, and we were worried that our spoiled babies would have a hard time, however, they enjoyed themselves and got lots of love. She sent us pictures and messages throughout their visit. We will definitely use her again if we need sitting services. I highly recommend Ms Linda!”

“She took great care of my dog and made sure to give him just as much exercise as he gets at home, had great communication and I felt comfortable knowing he was being taken care of by someone who truly enjoys having him.”


“Emilio was great with Rafa! was exhausted when we picked him up from all the playing and all the walking they did. Raife usually has a hard time with new people and Emilio did great with him. He has a new friend for life! Thank you for all the care and attention you gave Raifa!!”

“Sarah was great! Our boys were super happy when they came home and she kept in contact with us. We will definitely leave our boys with her again if we have to leave them overnight again”

About: Potty trained from birth is a crazy stat line to have. The purr you get from rubbing and scratching on just the right spot is music to my ears. I love cats and playing with their toys even entertains me. That said, Clean litter boxes are a must not only for our smelling, but for their liking.
“Breana took great care of our two cats while we were gone. She knew how to work with the cats, giving them attention, and attending to their needs. We really appreciate all her help as we hate to leave our sweet boys, and felt comforted to have her care for them!”


“Our furkids were happy to have her care for them. They were safe, fed, everything clean. She was a blessing for our family over Easter Holiday! We are grateful for her. Will definitely use her again! We recommend her immensely!”

About: I have experience with animals since I could walk. In my personal life I would best describe my passion as a certified collector of strays (cats , dogs, birds and insects . The list is very long :) . In my professional experience I’m very exposed to the knowledge and unique design in caring for animals . STORY TIME : * ****I met a pit bull ****At the age of 17 I went to one of my first parties with my friend ( I was still very shy and reserved, but was looking to dismantle my comfort zone ). I had a bad time and unfortunately I was followed walking on my route and hoped to just make it back home in the same pieces that I came with lol . Anyways I approached a dark neighborhood on my path and only two streetlights worked and sarcastically I was excited to be walking under one the moment I locked eyes with THEE most Beautiful & intimidating Pit Bull I’d ever been blessed with eyes to see and a body to run that couldn’t move and was actually not breathing to well either 😅So I did what any rational human would in this situation and called her and told her to come here “sweetie” and she Bolted towards me … arms out stretched shaking in my wee lil boots I prayed lol and she jumped up on my shoulder and licked my face and I was at awe 🥹. She walked me home (2miles) and we actually got stopped by a couple who told me I have a beautiful dog and I explained she wasn’t mine and asked if they wanted to try and keep her but she never left my side . I’ve never felt so safe and happy all at once at 12 midnight imagine what love can do !!! I lived in that same area for three extra years and never seen her again . The End My professional experience consists of working side by side as an acting vet assistant where I learned to chip dogs , feed them medicine, clean kennels, walk them and feed them their food . I also worked as a canine coach where I oversaw 1-28 dogs at a time play with them talk to them prevent them from being in danger making it the best environment possible . I aspire to build my abundance in what I love and that’s more love the definition manifested in all creations especially ones with big beautiful baby eyes and youthful hearts Animals :) Hi I’m Ta Manda and I’m your PETS NEW BESTIE🦄❤️🎁!! ( so cheesy and I love it lol) I am currently invested in becoming independent, I am open to gaining more experience so other than Uber I’m all yours ❤️ please just reach out :) I love forming lasting bonds with the pets I care for and would be thrilled to stay connected and visit them even after my services are complete. I believe that doctor dolittle was inspired by Myself so honestly I do have conversations with them down to moths I believe they are listening and if you’re still enough you can tell they understand you .

About: I've been caring for cats for sometimes and have truly enjoyed every moment. I'm patient, dependable, and committed to making cats feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I can provide fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, play with cats, and follow any special care instructions. I treat every cat like my own and look forward to building more experience while providing excellent care.

“It was my first time using the app and was unsure a how it will go but I am so glad that I did use and found Kyla. She was amazing and went above and beyond to make sure I didn’t have to worry about Fluffy. She sent detailed descriptions of her visits and sent regular updates. Spent extra time with Fluffy to make sure he felt comfortable around her. She managed to put a bandana around Fluffy’s neck which was a cute surprise when I got back. Thank you Kyla for being amazing. 10/10 will book her again next time I am traveling.”

About: Growing up in the country, I cared for pets and farm animals. My experience and love for all creatures began there! Interacting with them has always been the highlight of my day. From cats, dogs, small animals, aquatic life and reptiles, to horses, dairy goats, birds, pigs and chickens, I have you covered! I've owned most, and cared for the rest. No matter what, I keep critters close! As a child was rarely seen without an animal or flock in tow. I raised pigs, chickens, dove, rabbits. As well as trained dogs and horses. Later on In Edna, I was a ranch hand on a small dairy farm. Now living in the city, I care mostly for cats and dogs, but I still love them all! I wouldn't imagine my life any other way! I have a very open and movable schedule. I can pretty much work with anything. The safety and care of your pup is always at the top of my list. I have a fenced yard with a large shaded area. Indoor and crate training is also great. I will make sure they are comfortable and safe.
About: Providing a stress free environment from a stay at home nana. I would love to create a home away from home for your beloved fur baby. Life long love for animals. I work from home so can accommodate to your fur babies schedule. My home is quiet and easy to navigate for any pet that may have anxiety. My backyard is fenced in and can provide plenty of room for activity. I usually let my chihuahua out every hour or so, or give him the option to go out. He generally likes to stay under his blanket a majority of the day though. He does get along well with other dogs, as he has lived with larger dogs previously.

About: I’m studying to be an engineer and my dad has a joke that i’m coming back as a veterinarian which says a lot.
