Hadija was so wonderful to my cat Beau! I asked for lots of updates and she delivered- I never had to wonder what he was up to or if he was doing okay! She clearly really cares for animals deeply and was so sweet and loving to him. She also left my apartment cleaner than when I left it!

We left our cat Maisel with Trisha for a few days recently and she was days absolutely wonderful with our pet. She goes above and beyond for your animal knowing how stressful it can be for you to leave them. I can’t recommend Trisha enough.

Mike was so great! He is so patient and kept me updated on my pup. It was my first time leaving her with someone so this experience was a little scary for me but he did so well in making me feel like my Ivy is okay! Will defiantly book with him again confidently when I travel again.

About: I work from home 5 days a week which will allow your dog to get constant attention and love. Having cared for my own dog I understand how difficult it is to leave with someone else. I currently work from home 5 days a week and will be able to attend to your dogs needs. I can take them out for plenty of potty breaks. Since I work from home your dog will get plenty of attention. I live in a very dog friendly community that is great for walks. I will always keep your dog on a secure leash whenever outdoors.

About: From fostering dogs to working at a wildlife rehab, animals have always been a huge part of my life. I bring patience, reliability, and attentive care to every pet. I work from home in Animal Control Administration, so your pet will have my full attention all day. I am available nights, weekends, and holidays. My home is quiet with no other cats or dogs, making it a calm, stress-free space. I treat every pet like my own, giving them plenty of love and attention. In your home, I’ll follow their usual routines — feeding, walks, play, and snuggles — so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.

Sheila took wonderful care of our cats for a little over two weeks, and we couldn’t be more grateful. She is incredibly meticulous, genuinely loves animals, and went above and beyond what was required to make sure our cats were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She also kept an eye on our home and alerted us to a water leak in time, which we truly appreciated. We felt completely at ease knowing both our cats and our home were in such capable and caring hands. Highly recommended.

Maria was a wonderful sitter for our cat Mary! We had total piece of mind on our trip. It was clear from the updates and pictures that Mary found a new friend and was totally content and comfortable with Maria! She's incredibly kind and responsive and we will definitely use her again in the future!
