“Jehiny did a great job at watching our baby girl Boxer. She sent updates and pictures which made us really happy. Boxers are very active and she managed her well. She’s 7 months old and loves attention. Jehiny ensured to give us an update upon our arrival and you could tell our baby girl had a great time. She was wagging her tail and looked very comfortable.”

“Joni took fantastic care of my shy foster Millie and has been incredibly accommodating with my last minute request. Even managed to plan for a meet and greet which absolutely helped Millie feel comfortable the next day for the actual sit. Joni sent many pictures and updats and my mind was completely at peace knowing Millie was in her gentle care. Joni also was very thorough with Millie’s schedule and routine, perfectly punctual, and very respectful of the house, leaving no trace behind! Thank you Joni!”

About: Hello, I’m a 27 year old who has loved animals their entire life. Currently I don’t have any pets but while I was younger my family always had animals in the house. I’ve had the pleasure of growing up around dogs and cats. When I moved away from home I started pet sitting for family friends and neighbors. I have pet sat cats, dogs, even a parrot and a snake. I love caring for other people's pets and understand the love and care that is expected when taking on this job. Caring for animals is one of my favorite past times. I currently freelance so my availably is extremely open. That also means your pet will get my full attention for any care they need. I work from home so I will have ample time to care for the pets. I also live walking distance from a park so walks will not be a problem. I don't currently have pets but the way I would care for pets in my home is by paying as much attention as I can to them. Making sure they are well fed, comfortable and relaxed.

“We have had many pet sitters over the years, and Nima stands out as one of the best. She is very friendly, considerate, and kind, both with us and with our puppy, Olivia. Nima sent us daily photos and videos with a quick update on how everything was going. Olivia is a very picky eater, but somehow Nima got her to eat every meal! Nima left our house clean and tidy. She was on time and communicative about arrival & departure and about when she needed to leave the house while caring for Olivia. I highly recommend her for pop-in visits with your pet or overnight stays.”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for 10 years and I grew up with three dogs, so taking care of animals has always been a big part of my life. I’m familiar with pets with varying personalities/ages/energy levels. I am patient and excited to get to know every pet and their needs, whether that means getting plenty of exercise and playtime, sticking to a particular food schedule, or being able to provide a more nervous/shy animal with the time and space they need to warm up to me. As someone who loves their own pets, I know that a lot of trust is required to leave your pet with someone else, and I want you to feel comfortable knowing they’re in good hands. I’ll treat your pet like my own while keeping you updated while you’re away, and I will make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and care. I have plenty of flexibility and time to care for your pet’s needs! Communication is key for me to be able to accommodate/tailor my schedule to your pups :) I am a very attentive, respectful, and calm person who works hard to ensure that both pets and their owners feel safe with me. When I’m caring for a pet in someone else’s home, I take safety, trust, and respect seriously. I know I’m being welcomed into both your pet’s space and your home, so I’m mindful about keeping doors secured, following your instructions and routines closely, and making sure your pet is safe and comfortable throughout the visit. I treat every home with the same care and respect I would want someone to show my own, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that everything is in good hands while you’re away.
