“Devinder is great with my dog. He takes the time to connect with Baloo and gives him the mid-day attention and care needed while I'm at work. Devinder is very reliable and is very good at communicating. I would highly recommend!”


2. Katryn S.
About: I was raised around all kinds of pets, from cats and dogs to snakes and spiders. I take a lot of pride in taking great care of animals and providing them with a safe and loving environment. I’m currently a student on break, so I have a lot of time on my hands for the time being. I can work with your schedule! I am very careful with any animal within my responsibility. I’m well-practiced in keeping sneaky pets from escaping out the door, keeping leashed dogs away from other dogs, and medicating animals. I will strictly follow any instructions I am given to make sure your pet is safe, healthy, and comfortable!

About: My whole life I have owned, loved, boarded, and cared for a broad range of animals: dogs (small and large), cats (domesticated and feral), hamsters, rabbits, chickens, fish, one gerbil, one parrot, and more. With that comes the experience of the full cycle of life with companion animals - birth, adolescence, training, setbacks, accidents, illness, aging, and loss. I'm no stranger to providing extra potty breaks for puppies (our interests are mutually aligned) or with giving daily medications. For the first time in many years, my home is without a pet of my own - let me dote on yours when you can't. I'm a semi-retired / recovering attorney now working from home with plenty of time and attention to give to your fur babies. Regular walks and exercise are an important part of our routine. My property is ~ 2 acres, large portions of which are fenced but wouldn't be described as secured. Your dog's temperament will determine whether it can roam / play / fetch unleashed, but in no event will dogs be outside unattended. Inside, I try to make my home as welcoming and comforting for your pets as I would hope would be done for mine - animals are allowed on the furniture and are invited to sleep where they please, unless you instruct otherwise.


19. Veronica M.
“Veronica has been the best pet sitter we've had for over 5 years. What makes her so great? 1) She loves dogs. 2) She is responsible and reliable - she never cancelled or didn't follow through with the care of our pets. 3) She is mature, friendly, and professional. 4) Our dog (& cat) love her - Gracie, our Lab, would go right to Veronica and get lots of pats and friendly words in return. Bottom line, you can trust Veronica and know that she will give the best care to your pet because she loves what she does!”

“Thank you so much for keep my girls cool on this hot day! Please help yourself to a La croix in the fridge to help cool yourself and daughter down as well if you need.”
