1. Daniela L.
“Daniela was great! She checked in on our 2 cats while we were out of town. She was so thorough, sent great photos and updates, and even went above & beyond to bring in our packages. We will absolutely be re-booking!”
2. Briana C.
“Briana is amazing! We have hired her to do drop in visits for our two cats several times now, and I always know they are receiving great care. She is very attentive (even doing things like filling up their water fountain if it’s running low without me mentioning it or needing to ask.) The kitties love her and always run to greet her when she arrives—and they aren’t like that with everyone! Clearly, she takes great care of them and they eagerly look forward to her visits!”
3. Hanaya D.
“Hanaya was so great with our mini goldendoodle. she was available last minute and really helped us in a crush. Hanaya is very reliable and responsive, and I would definitely use her again!”
4. Samantha-Jean F.
“Sami is the best!! We have a 3 month old pup and she’s been great with her. She’s very informed on dogs (asked about shots and comfort around other dogs before I mentioned!) and has been great with training our dog on stairs and on-leash walking. She’s our go to walker and we have a set schedule she’s always on time for, which is super important as we establish a schedule for our lil one.”

“Claudia is great! Thank you so much for the drop ins to check on Murphy”

About: As a pet sitter, several factors set me apart and contribute to the exceptional care I provide for furry companions: Tailored Approach: I understand that every pet is unique, with individual needs and preferences. My personalized approach ensures that each pet receives customized care that aligns with their personality, age, and health requirements. Extensive Experience: With years of experience in pet care, including pet sitting, dog walking, and fostering, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the table. I've had the privilege of working with pets of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, allowing me to handle various situations with confidence and skill. Pet care plays an integral role in my daily routine, as my furry companion is not just a pet but a beloved member of the family.I start by ensuring my pet's basic needs are met, including feeding, fresh water, and a walk or playtime session for exercise and mental stimulation. Throughout the day, I make time for additional walks or play breaks to keep my pet active and engaged. In both my own home and while caring for clients' pets in their homes, I prioritize the well-being and comfort of the animals entrusted to me. This involves adhering closely to established routines and providing personalized attention to meet each pet's unique needs.

“Barbara is AMAZING! Her attention to our baby was nothing short of fantastic! Barbara went above and beyond by even taking it upon herself to help with our house while we were away! She helped run our heater and took our trash bins out! If you’re looking for someone who has a true bond with animals and sets them at ease Barbara is your girl! Thank you Barbara from the bottom of of hearts:) we had a better vacation not having to worry about the type of care our baby was getting!”

12. Kenisha M.
“Kenisha was amazing! I was traveling overseas for 11 nights and needed someone to come in to check on my 3 cats, feed them and clean up after them. She was so sweet and caring and my cats were happy. Even my extremely shy one came out and let her scratch her head. I highly recommend hiring this beautiful soul to take care of your pets.”
13. Nina G.

14. stefanie o.
About: I have always been a dog lover/owner. Currently have 2 mixed breed dogs (4 and 3 years old). Have dealt with puppies to senior dogs. My dogs love spending time outdoors. I take my dog for multiple walks or hikes daily. We spend a lot of time outdoors playing. Would love to give your dog the same attention. Will give your dog the attention they deserve on their walk. They will return happy and well exercised. Will follow any training routines you are actively working on.

“Julia is always reliable and so so kind to our cats. We deeply appreciate her care with them. Always a wonderful experience and we are just full of gratitude.”
16. David S.
“We feel so lucky to have found David; truly, we only wish that we had found him sooner! He is reliable, considerate, and, most importantly, our dog LOVES him. Our dog is older, with some medical issues, and can be standoffish to new people but David won him over almost immediately. We always have complete confidence and peace of mind that our dog is well cared for.”
17. Francisco M.

19. LisaLeigh R.
“LisaLeigh really helped us out when we were in a bind. She was communicative and took great care of our two pups for the night. I will absolutely be calling her again!”
20. Darline R.
“Darline is the best! She keeps me so well informed on the status of my kitties, one of which requires heart medicine.

Thank you Darline <3”
