“Fast response and very thorough! I feel so relieved after Ashley checked in on my sweet boy! From the pictures I can tell he was so happy to have some company and she did everything I asked!”


“Gabrielle was amazing! We were out of the country and our pet sitter had to leave early on our last day as we were traveling back home. We worked everything out with Gabrielle through the app. She showed up when we needed her to, and she did everything we needed so we didn’t worry about our babies as we were traveling home. I will definitely use her again, and I would recommend her without hesitation. And our babies seemed to love her!”


“Lauren was amazing! It was my first time using drop ins and she made me feel comfortable and was very communicative! Will definitely be using her again in the future!”


“Monique did a great job! She kept me very in the loop with pictures and updates, and was happy to spend some extra time with my cat to make him feel at home. I would absolutely hire her again!”


About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life, from my own pets to helping neighbors and friends. I also worked at a veterinary hospital for 8 months as a kennel tech, where I gave baths, trimmed nails, groomed, and administered medications. I have experience walking dogs, feeding, bathing, and giving lots of love and attention. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether it’s energetic puppies or shy senior pets, I’m reliable, active, and confident in handling pets of all kinds. My schedule is very open, I do pet care full-time, so I’m available seven days a week. I live in a quiet, private neighborhood that’s perfect for dog walks, and I plan to take your pups on plenty of them! Whether it’s a quick drop-in or an overnight stay, I can easily work around your needs. If your pet stays with me, they’ll be in a calm, clean, and comfortable environment. I always follow care instructions to a T and treat every animal like they’re my own. Safety is my top priority, and I do everything I can to make pets feel secure and relaxed in a new space. I do have a cat, but she can easily be kept in a separate room if I’m dog sitting, so your pet can feel totally at ease.

About: I've had a deep love for dogs since childhood, and my passion has only grown over the years. I currently have a miniature labradoodle named Finn, whom I've potty trained, taught a variety of tricks, and worked with on behavioral improvement. Additionally, I gained hands-on experience at Doggstuff, a local pet store, where I had the opportunity to learn dog training techniques directly from a professional trainer. I'm also well-prepared to handle any emergency situation involving dogs, ensuring they are safe and well cared for at all times. My combination of personal experience and professional training sets me apart as a reliable and knowledgeable pet sitter. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I have plenty of availability during both weekdays and weekends. I’m free from Friday to Sunday and can accommodate overnight visits during this time. On weekdays, I’m available outside of my class hours: - Monday: 12:00 PM – 10:00 PM - Tuesday: 3:00 PM – 10:00 PM - Wednesday: 1:00 PM – 10:00 PM - Thursday: 3:00 PM – 10:00 PM During the week, I can provide both short and long walks based on your pet’s needs. Weekends are perfect for extended overnight stays, so you can rest easy knowing your dog is in good hands! For overnight visits and walks, my priority is always the safety, comfort, and well-being of your dog. When caring for pets in your home, I make sure to maintain their routine and environment as closely as possible. I create a secure and calm atmosphere, ensuring your dog feels at ease while you’re away. For walks, I tailor the length and intensity to your dog’s energy level and preferences, whether it's a leisurely stroll or a more active outing. I also stay alert to their body language and surroundings to avoid any potential hazards. I’m committed to building trust with both you and your pet, offering constant updates and staying available for any questions you may have during the service. Whether it’s overnight or a simple walk, I treat your dog as my own—providing love, attention, and care throughout the entire visit.
