This is my second time using Kat in just two weeks, and I’m so glad I found her. I have a large, reactive Golden Retriever, and Kat handles her calmly and confidently, especially on walks where my dog can pull. She’s very aware of triggers and I always feel at ease knowing my dog is in good hands. She makes sure my dog gets real time outside, including the park (her favorite), not just quick potty breaks. Kat is always on time, sends lots of updates, is genuinely kind and caring, and leaves my apartment exactly how I left it. Easily the best sitter experience I’ve had. I already have her reserved for a 2-week stay next month.

Jocelyn was amazing! We needed a dog sitter on short notice, and Jocelyn not only came through for our anxious dog but also made the experience one that added to her life. She walked her, loved her, and earned my trust during her stay. Our family will most definitely book again with Jocelyn and I encourage you to book with her as well!

We cannot thank Milena enough!!! This was the first time leaving our puppy and she made us feel very comfortable by sending updates and pictures during our time away. We also had some last minute travel changes and she was super flexible with changing the plans. Our puppy adored her and we’re so glad we found a trustworthy sitter for him!

Daniel did an excellent job taking care of my two senior pups on such short notice for 9 days during the Thanksgiving holiday after i had an unexpected last minute cancellation from my other pet sitter. Daniel came to the rescue and was diligent about the medications needed to be administered for my pup Ray who has 4 eye medications to do on a daily basis. Daniel sent pictures and videos and kept me updated along the way. He also left the home spotless on my arrival and with happy pups! Will definitely be reaching out to him for the next time. Thank you Daniel!

About: I'm a extremely nuturing individual and have had the immense pleasure of caring for pets kittens to seniors/puppies to seniors for over 25 years. I'm very hands on and i very meticulously make sure they are both comforted as well as comfortable. You will find no one more skilled in being your pets caregiver. I'm currently not working! So I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups/kittens! I'm available for boarding weekdays all day. And weekends after 3. I can take your pups to a dog park and play as I do not have a fenced yard. Also I have a play room for kitty.

Aniko took amazing care of my senior kitties. She earned their trust quickly and sent me continuous reports on how they were doing following all my directions on feeding. She even sent over daily videos of treat time playing. Above that, she took amazing care of my apartment and let in handyman as needed to take care of things. I highly recommend booking her! And plan to do so again myself.
