“Patricia is fantastic! She took such good care of our kitten and sent photos along the way. She left our apartment in perfect condition too. Highly recommend, would definitely book again!”

“Steven was wonderful with Henry! He took the time to make Henry feel safe and comfortable around someone new. Steven asked great questions and took things slow until Henry was ready. Steven clearly has a love and passion for all animals! We can’t wait to have Steven come back again.”

“I cannot say enough great things about Lauren. She provided the BEST care for my old Great Pyrenees and made my week away from her peaceful due to her multiple daily updates (where I knew my pup was being taken care of & being loved). Lauren is communicative, kind, obviously incredibly knowledgeable of animal care, diligent, and truly treats your animals & home like they are hers. I will 100% be using Lauren again and I couldn’t be more glad to have found her!”

“Brianna was great to work with. She watched our home, our dogs, and our cat...we could not have asked for a better experience. She is incredibly responsive, kind, and an absolute pleasure to work with. Thank you Brianna for taking such great care of our furry family.”

“Alexa did a wonderful job taking care of our dog in our home over a long holiday weekend. She was communicative, made sure Beau got his walks and play time, left our home clean and our dog happy. She followed our instructions on everything and asked questions when she wasn’t sure about something. We hope our dog wasn’t too crazy for her, but we would gladly welcome her back! So grateful we found Alexa.”

“My Dog Dottie loved Ava! Dottie has tons of energy and Ava spoiled her with long walks and lots of dog park trips. I felt so relieved that my pup was in great hands. Ava sent lots of pictures and updates and left the house nicer than she found it. The best! Already booking her again”

“Nicole was superb: friendly, prompt, communicative, and most of all, really great with our two puppies. They got more walks with her than they have in a very long time! She sent videos, photos, and updates each day, which we really appreciated. Will absolutely book her again.”

“Cristian was communicative, professional, and patient with my pup! He kept me updated on his comings and goings and how my dog was doing throughout the day. Would recommend!”

“Wonderful job watching our elderly dog and cat. She was very caring and kind to them they seemed very happy when we got back. Followed all the instructions which we really appreciate. Very responsive and sent pic updates which was nice. Left the house nice and clean! Super kind and friendly we will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I've had cats in my life since 2004. I've currently have 2 cats right now. I have experience with providing medication such as pills. Also I enjoy playing with cats and believe they should be played with. I like to keep things clean for them such as proving them with clean water and fresh cat litter boxes. I enjoy making them happy because it makes me happy. I currently am working full time Monday through Friday. I would have time available on some Friday nights and Saturday mornings. Occasionally I might be available on select Sundays. I can take care of your cats in your home, depending on how you want them to be in your home. If you want them to roam around in your home that's great. If you prefer then to be crated then that's ok too. What ever instructions you leave with me I respect that and can make it work.
“Andrea was a lifesaver. Day of she was able to coordinate a nighttime stay so that my wife and I could go have our baby! She was very responsive and understanding on the short notice. Kind enough come by so we could still meet in person w our dogs and grab our keys. I’ll for sure use her again and would strongly recommend for others”

“We couldn’t have been happier with Jasmine. She stayed at our home for a full week while we were out of the country, and she took amazing care of our three senior pups. We got brief daily updates, and came home to happy, relaxed dogs and a spotless house. Truly grateful for the peace of mind - highly recommend.”


“Where do I even begin? Kat was fantastic from our very first phone call where we talked for 45 minutes so that I could get to know her and she could hear about my two senior pups and all their quirks. We haven’t left our dogs with anyone in years because they have so many needs that it’s hard to leave. Their many, many medicines and beginnings of incontinence were no issue for Kat. I knew they were going to be in great hands. Kat gave our dogs so much attention and care— they were spoiled while she was here with bones, walks, baths, and cuddles. They were also rarely, if ever, left alone while they were in her care. She’s very attentive. Not only that— but she CLEANS. I can’t even begin to explain how grateful I was to come home to a home that was not only clean, but even cleaner than how we left it. With two older dogs and a toddler, it’s hard for me to find time to clean everything to the level I want. Kat deep cleaned things in my bathroom that have been on my to-do list for months (all unprompted)! Despite my telling her not to worry about cleaning the poop in the backyard (because we had gotten behind and hadn’t cleaned any of it during the winter), she cleaned all of it and our yard looked pristine. She did laundry in addition to everything that got dirtied by my dogs’ accidents. She’s easy to work with and will take amazing care of your pets and home. I can’t recommend her enough!”

About: Taking care of dogs so well for 3 years now and they start to think their my everyday pet and get sad when they leave. I am currently a freelance worker so I make my own schedule. Which means I can dedicate as much time needed to your little ones I have my own fur babies I treat like my children and open space in my apartment to play. There’s a crate available if necessarily needed.
About: My aunt and uncle have entrusted me in watching their precious rottweiler for weeks at a time and I've enjoyed every second of it. I've become their reliable dog-sitter / house-sitter and it has brought them the most comfort and relief during their travels. My support and care for their rottie brings them security and trust that he will be taken care of and given the upmost respect and love he deserves. I enjoy providing care and company for fur babies everyday because I wish I could have one of my own, but with my living quarters, I can barely manage my space by my own self. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies and I hope to show you that you can trust me with the lil loves of your lives. I believe I have a calm and peaceful vibe/aura that will ease your anxious doggo's feelings when you're away. I am very open to daily/hourly updates and making sure that you and your pups are in the loop about everything. Please let me know how I can best support you and your lifestyle while also filling up my cup with doggy snuggles in exchange :) I'm currently looking for a job, so I am free most of the time. When I do find a job, I will update this, but for now, I am as free as a bird looking to fill my days with doggy snuggles. When I dog sit at your house, I am very respectful of your place. I enjoy chilling out and playing with the doggies. I also enjoy picking up wherever I can. I like leaving spaces I enter better than when I arrived. I enjoy long walks and even runs if they are up for it.
“Holly is absolutely amazing! She was fantastic with our dogs, and gave us so much peace of mind when we were out of town. She sent daily pictures and updates and we couldn't have asked for a better person to watch them!”
