Breanna was very responsive and took great care of Fitz. He is shy and cautious by nature, but seemed very comfortable and happy in the photos and when I returned. I think he had a great time!

Elissa was so great when she house sat for us to watch our cat and dog. She sent plenty of updates and made sure she had all the information she needed, like double checking the feeding schedule and making sure there were no medications to administer. Will definitely see if she’s available the next time we need help with the pets!

Jay is the best. My Thunder who is a 75lb American Pitbull loves him and for anyone with this breed that once they trust you there is no such thing as personal space. This breed gets a bad reputation but they are cuddle buddies. Book him now and often you will not regret it!

About: I've had 5 years of dog caring and have raised 3 puppies. I have successfully taken care of multiple breeds of dogs of different sizes. Moreover, I know how to interact with multiple animals, cats, and dogs. I like to pay attention to their needs and play around. The sole joy of being in the company of a pet is my reward! I paid attention to my pets needs and other dogs needs. I have taken care of friends pets as well as puppies. and find that it is important to showcase love and affection for every pet. In terms of potty training, I'm quite capable of perceiving when they want to go. Will adhere to dogs dietary needs as well as engage their attention.

Jennifer did a terrific job of taking care of my two dogs while I was gone for the week. She stayed at my house and sent me plenty of photos of the dogs so my kids wouldn’t miss them. I highly recommend her services to others, and I look forward to using her services again in the near future.

About: I feel what makes me different from other candidates is that I have treats for them. I make sure they are always comfortable. I give you updates on how they are doing. I know as dog parents sometimes we stress of knowing how they are. I also have been working taking care of dogs since I was 15. It was helped me learn a lot through the years Taking care of your fur baby fits in my daily routine because I have extra time and I enjoy going on walks and they bring so much joy. What makes my home safe is that I live a safe area. There is a park across the street across the street. They also get the backyard. There are no kids and they will monitored.

I am so delighted we found Milena as she took such excellent care of our puppy. This was my first time away from the pup and I was getting so anxious about finding someone responsible but after meeting Milena, it was clear she was very knowledgeable and trustworthy - I felt truly reassured Yara would be in terrific hands, which was indeed the case! Milena was quick to respond to my messages, sent me lots of photo updates, and was extra attentive to Yara's wellbeing. We will most definitely be booking Milena's services again!

About: Having been surrounded by dogs throughout my entire life, I’m very familiar to the responsibilities and knowledge that comes with caring for a pet. I’ve done pet sitting for neighbors, family, and friends for extended periods of time, which has created a connection and practical experience ensuring a caring and reliable touch for your fur babies. Im currently working part time in geology, and my weekly routine doesn’t really change much. I have availability in the early mornings, mid day and evenings. When pet sitting, I prioritize familiarity and routine in your pets own home making sure to follow any instructions given to maintain your dog’s regular feeding schedule and playtime. I can ensure to offer any love and make sure the environment is comfortable and secure to alleviate any stress and anxiety your dog may feel in your absence. When dog walking, I’m mindful of the dog’s body language, always clean up after them, and am mindful of weather conditions. I prioritize positive reinforcement and safety!

About: I understand how important it is to have someone reliable and patient looking after your pets, and I always try to give them lots of attention, affection, and exercise based on their individual needs. I currently offer drop-in visits and walks, and I know every pet has their own personality, so I always do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I also have a senior dog of my own who has a special diet and is partially blind, so I understand the extra patience and attention some pets may need. During walks, I keep her close to me, help guide her safely up and down stairs, and carry her when needed. I also administer her eye drops daily and make sure she stays comfortable and relaxed. Caring for her has taught me how important gentle, attentive care is, especially for senior pets or pets with special needs. I’m currently studying, which gives me a flexible schedule! I’m currently available weekday afternoons and evenings, as well as full availability on weekends. Visits include feedings, fresh water, potty breaks, walks and playtime! I’m happy to help keep up with your pet’s normal routine so they feel safe and relaxed in their own home. For walks, I focus on making sure your dog has a safe and fun outing.

We can’t speak highly enough about Jennifer A as both a cat and house sitter! She was extremely diligent in carrying out all of our 20 year old cat’s needs, despite her need for her long known routines and idiosyncrasies. She also followed to a T all of the, perhaps too many, directions that I left for her. We could also see from Jennifer’s daily photos how loving and caring she was with her. I was nervous about leaving her for this length of time, but my fears were quelled very quickly. As for our house, we came home to find it spotless. Perhaps more so than how it was left! We felt assured that it too was in good, intelligent hands. We hope to book Jennifer for our next trip. She is a winner!

Brian was great! We hired him to swing by the house a few times a day and for a longer period in the evening while we were out of state for a wedding. He walked and cared for both of our dogs. They’re both 60+ pounds and he handled them well. He stuck to the feeding schedule we gave and I have no doubt he gave lots of love to the boys. We got home and they were happy and relaxed Brian was great at communicating. He sent photos and updates each time he stopped by. Would hire again.

Katie & Zayn were an absolute life saver when we found ourselves a few days away from a trip with no pet sitter. As soon as we met them, we felt comfortable leaving our home and our furry crew in their capable hands. Our dog in particular loved them immediately. They were prompt, professional, had excellent communication and provided many pictures during their stay. Our pets were well taken care of and it was easy to see that while we were away. Katie and Zayn - thank you for taking such great care of our pets!! ❤️

Holy moly! I can’t brag about Safiya enough! From start to finish the communication was nothing short of incredible. She cared for my baby like he was her own. She cared for my home like she lived here. I feel like a found a member of the family not a sitter. Hands down, the best caretaker for anyone you love. Will ONLY be booking with her again in the future. 100000000000000000000 out of 10. Literally the greatest experience.

Chris did an amazing job watching our dog Gobi and we will definitely have him watch him again in the future! He has a very calm, comforting demeanor which helped our nervous guy feel safe. But he also loved playing with him and tired him out nicely for us! He went above and beyond by taking him out for 3 extra walks and even brought one of our packages inside the house. I also loved the picture updates he sent us! Thank you Chris, see you soon!

We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! She was absolutely wonderful with our French Bulldog — so loving, attentive, and affectionate. Our dog felt safe, happy, and comfortable the entire time we were away, and we felt completely at ease knowing our home and pup were in such good hands. She even came by ahead of time to meet her, and they bonded instantly! Pretty sure our dog already misses her now that we’re back from vacation. Highly recommend — we’ll definitely be booking her again!

Thank you so much Jon for taking such good care of Sasha. Your periodic updates were extremely helpful and comforting while we were away. We appreciate your flexibility in accommodating special care for our senior child. Your attention to detail during the planning session (the day before scheduled caretaking) was impeccable. You gave us more than needed reasons in hiring you for future care for Sasha.
