“I cannot express how grateful I am for the exceptional care my dog received from Anne over the 10 days I was away. She was incredibly attentive and ensured my furry friend felt loved and well-cared for the entire time. Her communication was outstanding; she provided regular updates and was always open and responsive to any questions I had. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a reliable and caring dog sitter. She truly goes above and beyond!”


“Joscelyn was such a pleasure to deal with! She was accommodating and a very good communicator. We did a phone conversation prior to final booking and after talking with her I was confident that she would provide the best care for our puppy. She sent pictures during the stay and even took her on walks. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend Joscelyn as a care taker!!”


“Great communication and flexibility. Felt very comfortable having our dogs stay. Will definitely be using Azure in the future to watch after our pups.”


“Taking care of a 16 year old cat is no easy feat but she made it seem easy. Paris took great care of him and made sure he was cared for and loved on as if we were home while we were gone!”


“Highly recommend Karisa! She kept me updated throughout their stay and sent me pictures. She also sent them home with homemade dog cookies. Her house looked very clean and my dogs were happy and healthy when they returned home.”


“Ozzie had the best care at Stephanie’s. I was afraid he wouldn’t want to come home with me! She treated him just like her own and I feel very lucky to have had found her. I will definitely try to rebook next time we travel.”


“Tiffney was vey responsive and reassuring. She met with me before the stay to make sure Bella and I were comfortable. This was the first time leaving Bella with anyone so it was important to me to make sure she would be well taken care of. Tiffney did everything she could to make sure Bella was comfortable and safe. It was nice that she had other dogs to socialize with, and her children were kind and playful with her too.”


“Salehin accepted my request last minute and really helped me with my dog! He sent me constant pictures and gave me updates on her. She was happy when she left :)”


“Jennifer and her family were amazing. She took wonderful care of our sometimes anxious pups. She even made sure they took their medicine and felt safe during a thunderstorm. Her home was clean and well-equipped for dog sitting. I would absolutely book with Jennifer again!”


“Kristen is amazing with our Jack Russel. She always sends pictures and let's us know how she is doing. We always trust her when we have to go out of town.”


“Agnatha was amazing. We did the meet and greet while my dog, Cookie, was in perfect health. Unfortunately that evening my dog would need emergency surgery. My hotel wasn't refundable and I was worried about leaving my dog who now had to wear a cone and take medication. But Agnatha said she would be perfectly fine taking care of Cookie post surgery. When we picked Cookie up she was happy and healthy.”


About: Hi there! I’m Anahi, and I’m an experienced and compassionate pet caregiver 😊 I started when I was 17 years old, caring for my family’s pets. My previous pet was a dog named Nova, she got along well with my kids and other dogs! I’m reliable, trustworthy and have experience with both routine care and special requests! I’m also very understanding and flexible with my prices- please feel free to message me and I’m sure we can figure something that works for the both of us! Trust your furry friend to someone who understands, they’re more than just pets, they’re family !🐶💗 I can offer daily walks, a backyard where we can play all day, treats, toys and more! Im a stay at home mom, with plenty of time on my hands ! I’m looking into doing pet care because of my previous dog. I used to spend all day with her, she was the sweetest and I just feel like keeping myself busy with pets would bring a lot of fun back into mine and my family’s life without having to replace her right away 🥲 In my home, I can provide daily walks, supervised play time outside, toys, cuddles and more! I will ask for feeding and potty schedule, and a crate just in case I need to run out and do an errand. When caring in my clients home, it’s all based on their preferences 😁

“If I could give Erin 10 stars I would. She took great care of our dog Lucy! Lucy was a rescue dog from an abusive situation. She has a lot of separation anxiety. We were pretty nervous about leaving her for several days for our son’s wedding. It was clear immediately that Lucy really liked Erin and felt comfortable with her. When we picked her up she was excited to see us but wasn’t clingy or nervous like I expected. Erin sent numerous pictures and updates. We’re very happy with the care Lucy received and will definitely book with Erin again.”


“Heather took excellent care of our two dogs. It was their first night away from home and they were relaxed and happy when we came to pick them up. We’ve already booked their next stay with her. I’m happy to recommend her services!”

“Sara was great. Finnley had a great time with the the other dogs. Unfortunately it was a the last day before I picked her up. Would consider Sara again for Finnley.”


“Please do not book her! This is MY dog sitter y’all! Great communication, gave updates, after the first day jitters I realized I had nothing to worry about. My Beauty was taken care of, comfy and happy.”


“Our dog Lexi had a great week with Rachel and her family. Lexi adapted very well and was very comfortable. Rachel provided updates and pictures. Very impressed with our first time and will definitely be returning. Would recommend to friends and family!”


“Greg and his wife were a blessing. They sent pictures and maintained GREAT communication about my dogs while in their care. MY DOGS RETURNED HOME, EXHAUSTED FROM PLAYING SO MUCH. I highly recommend him!”


“They were so kind and caring to our dog. They were sensitive to my desires to meet them and have Teddy get used to them a little before we left him. Excellent!”


“Nan and her husband did a wonderful job watching our senior dog overnight. This is the first time I've left her with strangers and I was very anxious. Nan sent picture updates every couple of hours so I could relax and enjoy my trip.”
