“No complaints! Molly was responsive and great.”
2. Tiffany Y.
“Over the many years I have known Tiffany, she has always loved being around dogs and cats. She sadly lost her own two dogs over the past year and a half from old age, but I know they lived their best lives with her as their caregiver. While not ready to become a pet owner again, I know she misses having them around and would like to shower your pets with all the love and care she has while their owners are away.”
3. Emma B.
“Emma cared for our 3 dogs like her own! She was attentive to instruction and kept us constantly updated. She spoiled our pups with extra play and love. We can't wait to be able to use her again when we need care for our dogs because we know they will be in great hands”

About: Dogs and cats deserve the best of care when you're away. I have a home centered around my pets, with a fenced backyard and a deep porch. Water is always available, meal times are regular, and we take time for romps in the park and a good nap or two. I've worked in catering for over 40 years, and I'm done. I want to play more, and my dogs (Handsome and Billie) agree! I am walking and transporting dogs exclusively. I have 2 dogs, friendly Labs, and a long-haired coon cat named Athena. Everything centers on them. I have a comfortable home, a fenced back yard, and easy access to parks and trails. I don't rush walks, and make sure to give dogs lots of time to run. No morning is complete without a ritual belly rub for my cat.
12. Claire H.
“Claire watched my 3.5 year old golden retriever at my home while I was out of town one weekend and I had complete peace of mind that my baby was being taken well cared for. My dog absolutely loves Claire and she does a great job making sure she gets taken outside often and goes on walks. I would put Claire at the top of my list to watch my dog again!”
13. Camille L.
“Best dog sitter ever! My pup didn’t even want to come home with me after, she loved Camille so much. She did a great job with her and followed all of my instructions responsibly. 10/10 would recommend!”

I have a fully fenced patio and a local dog park which is frequently occupied.

“What an exceptional mature and loving young lady. Carlos and LuLu absolutely love her!! They always are so excited when they see her car coming down the driveway. I would without hesitation recommend her as a pet setter for any home!!”
17. Marjorie S.
“Marjorie is great with cats and dogs. She has taken care of my dog for a week while I was away on travel and I knew my dog was in great hands. She would send me pics and videos to show me how my doodle MJ was doing. MJ is my only fur baby so to see her play with another dog and be loved on, made me feel that I wouldn't hesitate to leave my dog with Marjorie again.”

About: I have had a furry friend in my life in some form or another since I was very young. I have experience with both more reactive and friendly breeds and have no preference on the kinds I work with. I use patience and understanding to make them feel safe. I worked professionally as a dog walker and pet sitter for two years to multiple dogs and can bring love and affection to any animals in my care. I am responsible, punctual and a great communicator and can be an asset in caring for your dog or other animals while you are away or on a regular basis for walks. I am currently working from home and can cater to your pets as they require. Open schedule that is flexible and can accommodate your needs. I do a walkthrough with owners of exact locations for all your pets, learn their quirks, the things they love and don’t like and what might come up during my stay with them. I answer all phone calls and texts from owners while they are away to ensure they feel safe and comfortable knowing their animals are properly cared for.
