“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!”
“Excellent sitter. Played with our cat, fed him, changed his litter robot and was very observant to things around the house and with our cat (noticed a new bald spot on our cats leg). Would definitely book Madeline again!!”
“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!”
“Stephanie is very dependable when she visits Louis who just loves it when she is petting him. Louis is used to a routine being 15 years old and she understands his needs and wants that makes them click together as a sitter.”
“I chose Vanesa because I wanted to have Baxter groomed at home. I'm thrilled with the outcome and how sweet she was with Baxter, who gets very stressed when I leave him at a salon.”
“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!!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was little. I’ve had my own since he was 11 weeks and growing up we had the family dog. I know how to take care of puppies and the proper ways to take care of them! It comes with a lot of patience! I currently work during the week on 2nd shift so I’m open for early mornings during the week and all day on weekends. As long a they are about to be left alone for 4 hours or so. I live in an apartment that has plenty of open space and also has a dog park located there so they will have plenty of area to run around in!

“Thank you, Yoo Jee for taking care of our dogs! Both my dogs are very strong and have a lot of energy, so they're not the easiest to handle, but Yoo Jee did a wonderful job handling them and making sure their needs were met!”
“Anna was an excellent cat sitter who went above and beyond to help our cat, Cloud, feel engaged and attended to while we were away for two weeks. Anna was a consummate professional who kept to routine and process, while also providing extra unexpected support such as tending to our plants and bringing in mail while we were away. Anna was an excellent communicator and I hope to work with her again next time we go away.”
