“Amanda was wonderful! So caring and kind! My girls are so grateful to have had her as their surrogate mom! I want her to be their caretaker every time I travel! She was wonderful!”
“I recently booked Marc to take care of my cat. She's definitely a less than friendly feline with strangers, and he was great with her. She requires meds twice a day and he had zero issues getting her taken care of. I'd absolutely recommend Marc to take care of any animal if you need help.”
“Haeli was great. I am a first time customer and from the first meeting I was at ease with her watching my cats. She is a great communicator and when I came home my cats weren't on edge like they usually are. She even brought in our trash cans after our trash day. I will be using her again!”
“Sophie has watched our two cats twice now and she's always taken good care of them, sends great photos and keeps the house tidy. I've never worried about them while gone. Quick to respond to booking requests.”
“This was the first time my partner and I left our cats longer than eight hours since we adopted them. I knew I wanted to make sure they had someone who could not only to feed them twice a day, but provide a presence for them. Jason took care of our cats while we were gone and when we arrived, it was like they hardly noticed we were gone. They were happy to see us, of course, but they were perfectly content and happy when we got home. Jason gave us constant updates and photos during our trip and honestly left our home better than he found it (we gave it an honest go of cleaning before leaving!). We will definitely try to book with Jason again should we take another trip.”
“Ella is very sweet and nice to work with. I would trust her in my home and with my pets. She sends lots of pictures and detailed updates. Also thank you for being able to check in on Dots last minute”
“Craig took great care of my three cats while I was away, he spent time with them and gave each of them all the attention they wanted. Craig brought in my mail, emptied my dehumidifier every day and kept my house looking lived in. I will definitely use Craig in the future and can highly recommend his services.”
“Isobel was AMAZING! She stayed overnight with my kitties and took such good care of them. They usually seem depressed when I come home from being away, but after Isobel stays they are normal and barely seemed to have missed me! ? She sent photos every day and went above and beyond with taking care of the house, as well. I will absolutely be using her again and again - and you should too!”
“Elle was truly amazing with our cat! She went way above and beyond even when my little stinker had an accident outside of her box. She sent lots of pics, feedback on how our girl was doing, and funny stuff she was up to that day. Elle was also always super easy to contact with any additional information. Highly Highly recommend it. We will definitely use her again!”
About: Hello my name is Jason and I have grown up with dogs my entire life. My most recent dogs were a yellow and black lab (Cooper and Carter). As they aged, Cooper became a diabetic which required insulin shots twice a day. Unfortunately he also loss his eye sight because of it. I was his eyes and he trusted me where ever we went. They both lived to the young age of 14 years old. Sadly, I don’t think I could handle the loss of another loving dog but I would be honored to help take care of your lovable pets whenever you need it. I work full time but I work from home so my schedule is flexible. I can take them for a quick walk or if you need someone to stay while you’re out of town I can work from your house. I would be happy to take care of your pets at your house. Whether it’s taking them outside during the day, taking them for a walk, or staying a few days while you’re gone, I am happy to help.

“I am thrilled with the care my very old, very sick cat received from Shay while I was away. My 18 year old cat ended up at the emergency vet just one day before our trip and up until the minute I left town I was messaging Shay with new updates, new medication plans, etc. and she never once made me worry or feel like it was too much. My cat was on 5 different pills/liquids on some of those days and Shay was so flexible and accommodating. I came back to a healthy, loved cat. I would definitely hire Shay again.”

Cameron C.
“I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! From the moment I met him, I knew my pet was in good hands. He was calm, kind, and incredibly attentive to every detail of my pet’s routine and needs. While I was away, he kept me updated with messages, photos, and even little stories about how things were going. It gave me complete peace of mind knowing my pet wasn’t just being watched—he was being cared for like family. When I returned, everything was clean and in perfect order, and my pet was happy, relaxed, and clearly had bonded with him. It’s not easy to leave your pet with someone else, but he made the entire process easy and worry-free. I’m so grateful for the level of love and responsibility he showed. I’d recommend him to anyone who wants their pet to be safe, happy, and truly cared for.”
