Michelle is FANTASTIC! She brings me such a peace of mind. I am able to focus at work knowing that my puppy has some good quality play time with an extremely kind and caring person. Thanks Michelle!

Brooke did an excellent job with doing drop-ins on my cat while I was travelling. I will definitely be booking with her again for all my future travel plans! And she takes adorable photos.

We couldn't have asked for a better sitter for our two cats Mochi & Frankie! Heather truly went above and beyond, giving us total peace of mind while we were away. She didn't just handle the basics, Heather took the time to really bond with our cats, sent the best photo updates, and even got my shy Covid kitty to play and come out. It’s clear Heather genuinely loves animals. We’ll definitely be booking again!" We appreciated all the updates and photos.

Brenda took great care of my recently adopted feline, Atticus, when I was suddenly called out of town. I found her punctuality and dependability assuring, and her approach to providing care to a skittish kitty in alignment with mine; when I arrived home, Atticus was in great shape, physically and emotionally. Absolutely recommend her with enthusiasm.

About: I’ve grown with big dogs my whole life and I have my fair share of personal experience with smaller ones as well. Additionally, I worked at Paradise Paws (doggy daycare) as a dog handler for about a year. I am very familiar with all the different breeds and personality types, even puppies! I have a very flexible schedule. I do online school and don’t have another job, so I have lots of opportunity during the day to hang out with your dogs! I will care for your dogs depending on your environment and the rules you have set for me. I will respect your environment and that of the dog, while ensuring they receive lots of fun and attention!

Julia was an absolute godsend for us. My dog had quite a few issues while we were out of town, and Julia was amazing. She gave me constant updates, came to check on him regularly outside of what was originally booked, and made sure that my dog was safe and cared for. She helped ease my worries, and I would definitely rebook her, no questions asked. Our cat also loved hanging out with her!

Leah did a great job checking in on my cats while we were away. She was communicative, super nice, and followed through with what we asked. She sent lots of pictures of our cats when she checked in on them. When we got home, nothing was out of place and our cats had a clean litter box plus plenty of food and water. I definitely plan on booking Leah again in the future.

About: I grew up with dogs and miss having them in my life dearly! I have experience, walking, feeding and bathing dogs. I have experience with them all — from tiny schnauzers to giant goldendoodles that pull you along — and I would love to meet your furry friend! I have a full-time job so I’m available in the evenings and weekends for dog walking and visits. I could potentially take a calm doggo to work with me for pet sitting during the day, and I could also do early morning walks or visits when needed! When not in a fenced-in yard or dog park, I keep dogs on a leash to keep them safe. I can also adapt to your practices such as putting the dog in a harness, getting them into a crate, or closing certain doors when needed.

About: I love all animals but have a soft spot for older dogs and cats that might need a little extra love and attention. I grew up with dogs but currently have a 5 year old calico cat named Coco. I am a teacher who has much more free time in the summers. I am looking for afternoon/evening weekday jobs for this summer! I love walking. I will come to your home and make your fur baby feel comfortable in their own space. I can also take them for walks and/or play with them in your home. I can also bring animals to my apartment for animals that need more attention and care.

Knox can be a bit particular, but he absolutely loved the attention and care he received. We got regular updates, photos, and little notes that gave us total peace of mind while we were away. It was clear he wasn’t just being “checked on”—he was genuinely cared for, played with, and kept comfortable in his routine.
