“Anna was amazing! She stepped in on very short notice and took such wonderful care of our dog, Waylon. She kept us updated with thoughtful messages, and it was clear she truly cared about making him comfortable. Even though Waylon can be a bit shy at first, Anna’s patience (and the help of her friends) quickly put him at ease. By the end of the night, he was relaxed, happy, and clearly in great hands. We’re so grateful for her flexibility, warmth, and professionalism. We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, dependable sitter!”


“Amanda was absolutely amazing with my fur babies! She kept me updated on their activities, and they truly looked happy to have her there with them on her visits! She was very accommodating and flexible with my requests, and she has the sweetest personality. Highly recommend!”


“Andrew was incredible!! He watched our 2 cats while we were out of town for about a week and was very quick to respond and sent us lots of pictures. He was very accommodating to some last minute changes and was so good with our little kitties!! Will definitely be using his services again. Highly recommend!”


“We loved having Gwynne watch Shadow. It was a positive experience for our cat and for us Normally our cat is timid with everyone but us,but Gwynne was able to make her feel safe and we were able to see pictures every day of how she was doing.”


“Ashley was so great with our cat, Dizzy. Dizzy was clearly well taken care of, and was excited when Ashley came to visit her. I really appreciated all of the pictures she sent, showing us what Dizzy was up to. I felt at ease in our travels knowing that Dizzy had such good company. We will definitely be booking Ashley again!”


“Daniela is amazing! When I was looking for someone to take care of my baby, I was looking for someone who would make my pup feel loved. Daniela made me feel that. As soon as she walked through the door, my pup fell in love. It was our first time being away from our dog and we felt extremely comfortable with Daniela taking care of our baby while we were gone. She is extremely loving and attentive, always not only on time, but early to visits, and very communicative during visits. She definitely has a passion for animals and asks more questions than you would even think to answer when it comes to your pet. When it comes to finding someone to care for your pet, Daniela is the best of the best. She is someone who truly understands that pets are not only pets, but they are family, and she will go above and beyond to make sure your baby feels safe, comfortable, and loved.”


About: I've had pets since I was 5 and absolutely adore all types of dogs. I currently have two dogs: Wally, a 15-year-old Shih-Tzu Poodle mix, and Benny, a 4-year-old Goldendoodle. Their age difference has made me flexible and attentive to dogs of all ages. I make sure to walk them or let them run in an open field every day, weather permitting. I love spending time outside with dogs because, just like us, they need their exercise too. When Benny was a puppy, I played a big role in his training which included crate training, basic commands, and potty training. Wally, our senior dog, has slowed down over the past year, so I', very familiar with the extra care, patience, and gentleness that older dogs need. I am caring, dependable, and trustworthy and treat every dog as if its my own. You can feel confident knowing your dog would be safe, loved, and well-cared for in my hands. I currently do not have a part-time job so I have a lot of time on my hands. My schedule is very open at the moment and I would love to help anyone out who's looking for a reliable pet sitter! When caring for pets in your home, I want to ensure that they feel safe and cared for while you're away. I know important routines are because my dogs get unsettled when theirs is disrupted. I want to provide that same sense of normalcy for your pets when you're gone. I'll spend time with them during the day, take them for walks, play with them, amd can stay overnight if needed. I treat every pet as if they were my own and will ensure they get the attention and care they deserve.

Elise G.
“To Whom It May Concern, I am delighted to recommend Elise as a reliable and caring pet sitter. For the past three years, Elise has looked after our elderly cat, Chase, during our vacations, and she has consistently gone above and beyond in her care. Chase can be shy and particular, but Elise’s gentle and attentive nature quickly won him over. We always return to a happy, well-cared-for cat and a tidy home. Elise provides regular updates and photos while we’re away, which gives us great peace of mind. And we could enjoy our time away knowing our home was secure with her regular visits. Her professionalism, trustworthiness, and genuine love for animals make her an exceptional pet sitter. We wholeheartedly recommend Elise to anyone looking for compassionate and dependable pet care. Sincerely, Christina H.”
