“Minerva was amazing! She took such incredible care of Stella while we were gone. Stella has been a little sick and she was so good dealing with an older cat. Highly recommend!!!”
“Leslie was SO GOOD with Sunny! My dog is the epitome of super senior- mostly blind, wears a diaper, a bit of dementia. I rarely leave him alone for more than an hour or two. But being someone's maid of honor means you have to figure out how to leave your baby for hours. Leslie let me know in her first message she has this kind of experience - and she came through! She did 3 visits and with her updates I was not worried at all. By the time I got home Sunny was sleeping and probably barely noticed I was gone. She made sure he ate and even took him outside one more time than I expected, which was great! If I ever have to be away like this again, she'll be my first contact. Thank you!”
“Emma from Lando Health & Wellness Pet Therapy was incredibly compassionate and attentive! She did a drop-in visit for my husky Junior. Junior instantly took a liking to her. Emma not only provided exceptional care for my dog, but also captured delightful moments through her impressive pet photography skills. I highly recommend her as a top-notch pet sitter and will definitely be rebooking!”
“Emily stopped in to watch our kitties for a few days and she did great. She took great care of them and provided a lot of updates and pictures. I’m glad we went with her services.”
“Kim is the best!! She is communicative, reliable and offered me the most reassurance about my kitties when a few things didn’t quite go to plan while I was gone. Thank you Kim!!”
“Trinity was AMAZING! Our cat is obsessed with attention, and she was so great about giving him love and taking care of him. We had a last minute change of plans, and she was so accommodating to add days and continue caring for our baby. We will definitely reach out again for our next trip!”
About: As a full-time clinical psychologist working from home, I’m able to spend plenty of quality time with the dogs I care for. Your pup won’t be left alone or bored—I’m here throughout the day for companionship, playtime, and attentive supervision. I have hands-on experience with rescue dogs, and I’ve personally adopted and trained one myself. This experience, combined with my professional background in behavioral psychology, allows me to understand dogs’ needs on a deeper level—from anxiety and attachment to motivation and habit-building. What truly sets me apart is how much I love and respect animals. I tailor my care to match each pet parent's specific preferences, making sure both the dog and their family feel fully supported and at ease. Whether it’s sticking to a routine, sending regular updates, or reading your dog’s signals, I approach every dog as if they were my own. I work from home on weekdays, which gives me the flexibility to provide care throughout the day. I’m generally available at most times during the week, and with a little notice, I can usually accommodate weekend requests as well. I only care for one dog at a time for both daycare and home boarding, unless they’re from the same household. This allows me to give your pup my full attention and ensure a peaceful, stress-free environment tailored to their needs. Whether your dog stays at my home or I care for them in yours, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment. I follow your dog's routine closely and always keep safety top of mind—whether it's leash rules on walks, feeding instructions, or respecting boundaries around other pets. In my home, pets have plenty of space to relax and play. I never leave dogs unattended, and I provide regular check-ins and updates so you can feel confident your pup is in good hands.

About: I’m a great animal lover with years of experience. During my whole life I used to have pets in my homeland.

Now I do have many clients with small to big breed dogs whom I’m hosting in my House. We have never had a concern regarding to the pets activity and comfort. I do have a gated yard and will let the pets to walk around and play under my supervision. But I mostly like to take them outside for a walk and fun.
“Anna was fantastic. I have always had anxiety about leaving my kitty alone for long periods of time, but when I hired Anna to do daily check ins all of that anxiety melted away.

Highly recommend booking if you want peace of mind and a pet who might start pretending not to know you when their sitter walks in.”
