About: I have taken care of lots of different breeds of dogs for many years, and always focus on creating a strong connection with them and the owner. I work part time so I have lots of free time to spend with dogs and cats! I love animals so I always make sure I have time for them! I am very attentive when it comes to taking care of a clients pet in their home. I make sure to pay attention to the exact details and requirements given to me so that both the owners and their pet feel safe, heard, and happy!

“I can't say enough good things about Asuka! She took care of my two kittens during a drop-in visit and followed their very detailed and admittedly long feeding instructions to the letter. Communication was excellent throughout, and she even managed to get my shy kitten to come out of his shell, a rare feat. Having had some very difficult experiences with sitters in the past, including one that ended in a heartbreaking loss, it's not easy for me to trust anyone with my pets. While she didn’t know this, her professionalism, calm demeanor, and attention to detail went a long way in reassuring me. She was punctual, respectful of my home, and even took the time to clean their dishes after the visit. Truly grateful to have found someone so reliable and kind. Highly recommend!”


“We’re repeat customers here! Taylor always does a great job, and I feel comfortable leaving our pets in her care. She was even able to accommodate us on very short notice. Thank you, Taylor!”


“Kamila was great and super helpful when we needed a sitter for our two cats. Communicated well and always arrived on time. Both cats were happy & healthy when we got home and even my cat that’s shy with strangers quickly warmed up to her. Would definitely book again in the future!”


“Susan did a lunch time visit with our dog Cody and brought her little Luna along. Cody seemed to enjoy the visit and was in good spirits when we returned. We will definitely be using Susan again. We appreciated her excellent communication and the photos she sent us of the visit.”


About: Animals have always been my passion and your pet's well-being will always come first. I work in a very timely manner and am proactive to let you know about how your pet is doing! I am in the process of becoming a certified dog trainer and spend 30+ hours volunteering at the animal shelter. I have open availability for the summer and would love to help care for your furry companion! My schedule is Sunday - Saturday, with earliest appointments at 8AM and latest at 8PM. Caring for pets in your home requires trust and respect. I keep to the main community areas of your home - this generally includes the living room, kitchen, and backyard, as well as access to one bathroom. I will assume any other place as off-limits unless otherwise specified. Supplies such as leashes, collars, harnesses, treats, etc. that you provide will be returned back to their original location at the end of my stay. Keys can either be left in a hidden lock box or on my person - I take care to properly label and safely store any keys to ensure they are returned when needed.

He’s always happy when Rachael comes around, especially on last minute calls!”

We felt great having Ava look after our 2 dogs while we were away from home for a week. She was great to communicate with (fast and friendly!) and followed all the instructions we left for her. We wouldn't hesitate to hire Ava again or to recommend her to anyone looking for drop-in visits.

Isabel is amazing! Our dog has some very specific needs, and she is wonderful at understanding both our instructions and Zuko’s unique personality. He’s always so excited to see her, and we trust her completely. She’s our first choice whenever we’re out of town or too busy to be home.

Wonderful experience. Very thorough and appreciate all the tlc she gave my senior big dog. She was kind, easy to explain my needs, understood my concerns and handled my weekend away with ease and kindness. Would definitely recommend and will definitely have Emily work with Zeppy again. She took great care and i loved the pictures and little check ins. Two thumbs. 10/10 experience.

Mia helped walk and feed my 2 dogs (husky and a golden) for a week. She gave daily updates and shared photos. We had piece of mind knowing that our fur-babies were being well taken care of. She went above and beyond by vacuuming a couple of times when the hair got to be a bit much, which was greatly appreciated.

Emily was a fantastic cat sitter for my cat, Charlie! She did daily drop-in visits and went above and beyond to make sure he was well cared for while I was away. She was very responsive via text, always kept me updated, and sent me photos of Charlie—even when he was hiding under the bed. I really appreciated that she followed my detailed instructions closely, including giving Charlie his extra food supplements. She also emptied the Litter-Robot canister and took the time to water my plants, which was such a thoughtful bonus. I felt totally at ease knowing Charlie was in such capable and caring hands. Highly recommend!
