“Thank you so much for taking care of Maru and following all my instructions. Vivian was very communicative before the visit and sent me adorable photos and a report about her visit. I would definitely book her again!”
“Jennevy is amazing! One of my dogs is a rescue and very challenging, he doesn’t like anyone and can be aggressive. She won him over, and he doesn’t even bark at her anymore. I felt very comfortable leaving my fur babies in her care, I trusted her completely. She’s very knowledgeable about dogs and dog behavior, and very conscientious and concerned for their well being. This was my first time leaving them with a stranger and she passed with flying colors. I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.”
“Ash was excellent. She did such a great job caring for my cat. I have only recently adopted him and wasn't sure how he would respond. She provided detailed daily updates with photos, and I was able to see he was doing well. Ash was always on time, and I never had to worry. I highly recommend her, and I will be relying on her again in the future.”
“Dana took care of my tuxy and was an amazing cat-sitter! She sent me many photos and even videos of my cat and always reassured me that he was happy and well-taken care of. The initial meeting with Dana was also great as she made sure she understood everything my cat needed to be taken care of while I was away. I would highly recommend Dana to any pet owner. Very attentive, caring, & responsible.”
“Rachel is amazing! She takes great care of my dog and takes great pictures. It is way below freezing out and she still went out with my dog. She writes great messages. I will definitely use her again.”
“Jake has always been a fantastic choice to watch our 2 cats! We have hired him 3 separate times over the last year and he always gives our cats exceptional care. We think our cats are very unique and with that they bring a few behavioral problems and require unique and complex eating schedules. Jake makes sure they each get the individual care they need. We know we can trust they will have clean litter daily, get fed correctly, and be given the attention they deserve. Jake also takes the time to communicate with us daily. We will continue to book with Jake for our pets in the future!”
“Victoria has been a reliable cat sitter, they obviously love her which is very reassuring when we have to leave town. She’s flexible with changes in plan which we really appreciate too”
“Barbara is an absolute DREAM to work with! She has excellent communication, goes above and beyond when she is with my pups (like way above and beyond), and takes the best pictures 😁. She is also very knowledgeable about dog training, which is such a huge comfort as someone who has a puppy and a reactive dog. She treats both of my pups with so much love and kindness and they adore her! I couldn’t recommend her more.”
About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life and have over 10 years of experience caring for them. I grew up watching my neighbors’ and friends’ dogs, and of course, taking care of my own. I also worked at a veterinary hospital for 2 years, giving me hands on experience caring for dogs/cats with different needs, temperaments, and conditions. I treat every pet like family and understand how to provide both loving attention and practical care! I’m currently working part-time teaching tennis lessons and have availability during the week and most weekends. I go back to college September 8th, but before then I would love to care for as many pets as I can! While I’m not able to board dogs in my home, I can provide care in your home and ensure a safe, loving environment. I can also crate your dog if needed and follow any specific routines or instructions you provide.
“Kelly was great! She followed all of my instructions and was very kind to my babies. I would definitely recommend her to anyone going away and in need of some help. I’m happy my babies have someone to play with them while we’re gone. I’m excited for her to come back◡̈”
“Melissa is awesome! It usually takes a while for our dogs to warm up to people they don’t know, but they liked her right away! I’m looking forward to booking her more!”
“I highly recommend Olivia! She did a great job coming two times per day to take care of my cat. She communicated with me regularly and made sure to follow all my instructions. Olivia is kind and attentive and cares about doing a professional and caring job. Thank you Olivia for keeping my mind at ease while I was away!”
“Catherine was incredible! I had a last minute business trip out of town and had been stressing about finding someone to watch my two cats. I'm so grateful Catherine was available and will definitely be using her again in the future. She followed directions and went above and beyond. Every day I got multiple pictures and updates on their eating habits, temperament, how play time went, etc. I could feel the love she showed my felines through the updates. My cats can be rather suspicious of new people but they warmed up to her quickly and within a day or two were waiting for her by the door. I think that really speaks to her skill with animals and how much respect and love she shows them. Will definitely be using her services in the future. Cannot recommend Catherine enough. 5 stars all day every day”
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 6. From my own cats and dogs, to pet sitting for neighbors and friends. I began my professional working career working in non-profit, animal welfare. I have long since changed careers and now stay home with my four kiddos. My kiddos have grown up with both dogs and cats and they share my love and respect for animals. Sadly, we lost our princess of a pup, Lizzie, a few years ago to cancer. She was such a joy, my husband and I adopted her back in January of 2014, at the time she was about 7 years old. I still miss her everyday, she was a snuggler and slept with us every night since we brought her home. To us, animals are truly members of the family and we will treat your sweet baby/babies as such also. We have a fully fenced yard. Our home has plenty of space for your pup/pups and all their things. We are big on walks and playing outside, which your pup is always welcome to join in on. Please know that we will treat your sweet pup/pups as one of our own. If your dog needs medicine or vitamins, that is no problem as I am very comfortable with that. Just to note, we also have two cats who are very used to dogs. I am a REALTOR and stay home full time with my kiddos. My husband also works 100% from home so there is always someone here. We have a fully fenced in yard and kiddos who love to snuggle and play with pups. We also live in a very dog friendly neighborhood.
