“Camille is great with both of my pets. This time she took care of my cat for a week. She is very reliable and even left a new toy for my kitty!! She is great!!”
“I scheduled last minute, and it was my first time hiring her. She responded very quickly and was available to come meet Coco and me next day. The day she came and took care of my dog at our home, she sent me pictures of Coco and provided updates, which I really appreciated. She was professional, kind, and great with Coco. I highly recommend her!”
“Great sitter. Would hire Sophia again in a heartbeat. Reliable. Responsive. Flexible. Great communicator. Sent detailed updates and photos after every visit. Had zero worries while Sophia was on the job.”
“Anastasia was excellent! I had last minute plans out of town and she was very accommodating to board Maui. Maui was so comfortable and had a great time playing in the yard space with her new dog friend! Anastasia sent me lots of pictures each day of Maui! She even started to train her to sit on command. I highly recommend Anastasia, she is an outstanding caregiver! I will be using her again in the future!”
“Gabriella dropped in to look after our 2 cats for us. She was very professional and even agreed to extend the booking by two days. I would definitely book with her again.”
About: Hi! My name is Jessica and I would love to take care of your pet while you’re away. I have unofficially been a pet sitter for several years. I have been fortunate to have friends and coworkers ask me to help with their pets and since then word of mouth has given me the chance to pet sit a lot more, which I love! I have always loved animals and have had the chance to watch and help out with many dogs, cats, chickens, lizards, and even a couple horses. I have two cats who are my world and I intend to make your pet as much of a priority my own. If you were to hire me I would make sure your pet(s) have a schedule as close to normal as possible. I have no issues staying over with your dog or cat. My favorite thing to do while I dog sit is take them for walks, so that is not an issue at all and I will always make sure your dog is well secured and watched throughout any time outside. I am typically busy Monday - Friday from 7:30 AM - 5 PM which is why I said that I can’t be available full time during weekdays, but I am free all day during weekends. I have no issues with staying over or popping in several times a day if that is what you prefer. Safety for your pet is my #1 goal, but I also am there to spend time with them, play, and take them for walks. I know leaving your pet is stressful for you and them, so I always try to distract them and make sure they get lots of love and attention. I also am more than happy to provide a lot of pictures and updates to ease your mind as well! Unfortunately, my apartment building does not allow pets, not even to visit, so I have no opportunity to board your pet.
“Riley was great to work with - we even had a tricky lockout situation while we were away and Riley worked with us every step of the way to get it resolved. Strongly recommend Riley.”
“We were extremely happy with Nina watching Gunther. We were at ease knowing she would be here looking after him. We loved the pictures and updates we got. Nina made us feel very confident that Gunther was in good hands.”
About: Animals of all shapes and sizes hold a special place in my heart and I try to do everything imaginable to give them the happiest life they deserve. I have previously watched family friends dogs, some with special needs and have been asked back time and time again. I take my responsibilities very seriously when caring for other people’s pets and will treat them as if they are my own! I am working on my own home-based bakery (I make pup cakes too!) and just love being able to help wherever possible! Your pet will be given everything they need to live the happiest life!! I currently work full time at a local daycare 7-4 and typically have my weekends mostly free. Sometimes I have bakery events here and there but can always make room for a few drop ins here and there! I can adapt very well to whatever your animals are used to! I know my pets are very used to a schedule and it’s always easiest to keep on that schedule!
“Maya was a great fit for my dogs. She knew I was in a bind so she helped out even though I lived out of the range she usually drives to take care of Whiskey and Pebbles. Thank you Maya Denise”
“As a professional dog walker myself for 23 years, I was pretty picky about who I wanted to walk our new puppy on the weekends. Brenna was prompt and enthusiastic, and handled our Rottweiler puppy's antics easily during the meet and greet. It's great knowing we can depend on Brenna to give our puppy a break while we run errands.”
“Alyssa was a great sitter, she followed all directions to the T. She kept us updated with plenty of pictures of our fur babies! 10 out of 10 would definitely recommend ,thank you Alyssa for everything!🫶🏾”
About: I have a dog named Honey and Coco who get along with all Dogs! Together they are a great team. They are loving, sweet and energetic. They love making friends. Also open to walking your pup alone. I am flexible and available for your pet needs, accept last minute requests! I know your pet is your baby and I promise your pet will be in good hands! I follow instructions and keep owners updated via messaging and photos. I am able to provide care in your home or walking in the neighborhood.
About: I am generally not afraid of dogs, being able walk, run, and play with a dog always brightens my day. I use to take care of puppies and adult dogs in my spare time after school and I would make sure to feed them, take them out for walks, play with them and pick up after them when needed. I am not working right now so looking after a dog is a good way to pass the time for me, not mention being out of the house and getting a decent amount of exercise. I will take great responsibility in taking care any dog that is under my care, I'll respect the owners rules and do my best to satisfy the customer and their needs
