“Victoria did a great job watching my two cats for a week! She was very communicative and the cats were very comfortable with her. I’d absolutely have her catsit again!”


“Alana was once again amazing with my pup! She followed all of the instructions I left and kept me in the loop during her time with Tyson. She also sent me pictures while I was gone. I highly recommend her!”


“Nicole was excellent on her services. She stayed in our apartment for a house visit and she was super respectful of the place. She was very effective in communication and I was never wondering what our dog was up to, since Nicole planned out several activities and outings. I’m 100% hoping to re-book her for any future needs.”


“Kathleen is AMAZING! Not only was she super thorough about getting to know our dogs and home, but she was also so kind and thoughtful during her stay. She sent us updates and pictures, and even cleaned up and washed the guest room items and towels before we arrived home! Her kindness and generosity of spirit make her one of a kind!”


“Moose loved his night hanging with Ani! My plans were last minute, so I reached out to Ani only a few hours before needing her. She was quick to respond and very professional. She even came by before to meet Moose and learn some paticulars about him. She was very communicative and send updates often along with pictures. I felt at ease all night and loved the pictures of him. Definitely will be using Ani in the future!”


“We were so happy to have Devika stay in our home with our dog Lucy while we attended a wedding! Devika was very responsive and sent lots of photos of Lucy which I appreciated. She was available on short notice and left our house in great shape. Thank you Devika!!”


“We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter than Ethan! From the moment we met him, it was clear he truly loves and understands cats. Our furry friend instantly took to him, which is always a good sign! He sent us amazing pictures and videos that felt like little stories - our cat’s own mini adventure series! It was so fun to watch, and you can tell he’s seriously talented at capturing those moments. He even left his backpack behind while he was with our cat and when he had to step out for a few hours, so our cat would feel more secure - such a sweet and thoughtful touch. Our cat was happy and relaxed the whole time, and we felt totally at ease knowing he was in great hands. Highly recommend Ethan to anyone looking for a cat sitter who truly cares. Can’t wait to book him again!”



“This was our second time with Leona. She kept us up to date by sending pictures of our dog and gave him plenty of walks and love. Definitely would use her again and highly recommend!”


About: As a person who has spent most of my life with all kinds of animals, I am a big advocate for their emotional well-being. I would love to be that familiar face that soothes your dogs anxiety, someone s/he looks forward to seeing, not just for exercise and a bathroom break, but for human companionship. And truth be told, I'm in it for the exercise and four-legged companionship myself. After having pets all my life, I find myself without furry friends at the moment. I've parented three dogs, one cat, and five guinea pigs, and have sat with or boarded both dogs and cats for friends throughout my adult life, starting in college. Nothing is more important to me than their welfare and I can be trusted to keep them safe and happy. Each animal is an individual with his or her own biases, but I find that, in general, animals tend to gravitate towards and trust me. But I'm happy to have a meet and greet to see if that is indeed the case and put us all at ease. I'm looking forward to hearing from you and please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions. Thank you for reading my profile. I work from home as a freelance graphic designer and have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I am reliable and understand the importance of routine in your pet's life and will make it my priority to maintain that routine. I do not offer boarding services at this time but I am available to care for your pet in your home. I am extremely respectful of your privacy and will only go where I need to to care for your pet.

“Susie was wonderful! She was communicative, on time, clean and most importantly treated our pup really well. We got photos of her daily where our pup was cuddled up next to Susie. It’s not hard to find a dog sitter, but it feels difficult to find one that will give your dog the love and attention they’re used to—Susie did just that. Highly recommend!”


“Josh was able to care for our dog whose tummy troubles caused his regular dog sitter to cancel. Josh communicated well, sent lots of photos and put our mind at ease while we were away from home. We would definitely use him again!”


“Halleen was so kind and loving to our dog. We felt so comfortable allowing her to stay at our house. She did such a great job, communicated well and in additions to walking, she took our dog to play at the local park a few times over the weekend. We can’t wait to have her look after our dog again. Fantastic job.”


“Katherine is amazing, she gave me daily updates about Tina’s activities while I was away. Tina had just gotten surgery a week before and she took great care of her giving her pain meds and following all the instructions. I feel blessed Tina was able to spend time with a pet lover that was attentive to detail.”



“Jamie was a wonderful sitter for our 3 dogs. She was in touch regularly, sent photos and made us feel our dogs were being really cared for and adored rather than just going through the motions. She was very flexible with our changing plans and made the handover process really easy too. Highly recommend and would love to have her care for our pups again.”


About: I have had dogs for over 20 years, for me they are as much a part of my family, as the people in it.
