“James was amazing!!! He took great care of our 3 rambunctious pups. He sent photos and videos daily. And, we came home to a clean house, he even took out the trash. Highly recommend James and we will definitely be booking him in the future.”


“Marlene has stayed with my dog Lexi at our home multiple times when we go away. Marlene is very accommodating, she is able to make last minute changes to her schedule to fit our needs and goes above and beyond to make sure our dog is comfortable, safe, and happy. I really appreciate her flexibility. Our place is always nice and tidy when we come back home. Marlene is very responsive when contacted throughout the day, sends daily updates and pictures and it gives us peace of mind Lexi being in good hands.”


“The dog was happy and the place was standing. In the end that's all that matters but a decent person who communicates well with an honest smile on their face and a personality to match makes the whole thing run smoother.”


“Natalia was great with our boys and took great care of our home. She looked after them for a week while we were in Greece and sent frequent updates — our kitties love her. She was very attentive to their needs and when we had a bit of an issue with our fridge too. Will definitely be seeking her services again in future.”


“Rachel was FANTASTIC with our 70+ pound Rottweiler/Husky with separation anxiety. She played and engaged with him when his energy was up, and let him lounge and rest when he needed it. We got frequent photo and text updates (and she takes really great doggy photos), and she even did an art project with him. He was happy and relaxed when we got home. Would definitely use her again for dog sitting in our home and might event try boarding him in her home when the need comes up. Thanks Rachel!”


“We are so pleased with how Keka took care of our precious dog. She was reliable, professional, and clearly has a natural gift with dogs. We received pics videos updates , she was on time for everything we asked of her . We really can’t recommend her enough , and look forward to calling her for our next trip. 5 stars all around . Thank you Keka !!!”


About: I cared for my yellow Labrador, Sparky, for 12 years. From puppyhood to his senior years, our daily walks, playtime, and belly rubs were some of my favorite ways to connect and spend quality time together. Over the years, friends, family members and neighbors have also trusted me to care for their pets while they were away. Whether it’s walking, feeding, or providing companionship during vacations, I’ve always treated every pet like my own, with patience and love. Your pet’s safety, comfort and happiness are my top priorities. I understand how important it is to have someone reliable and caring looking after your furry family member, and I’m here to provide that peace of mind. I work full time during the week, so I’m available for walks after 5pm on weekdays and anytime on weekends. I am also available for house visits and stays from Wednesday evenings after I get out of work through Sunday evenings. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with the same respect and care I would my own. I understand how important it is to maintain your pet’s routine in a familiar environment, and I always aim to create a calm, comfortable, and safe experience. During visits, I follow your instructions closely, ensure your pet is fed, exercised, and given plenty of attention, and keep you updated with regular check-ins. Daily walks were one of my favorite bonding activities with my dog, Sparky, so I truly understand how important they are for both physical health and mental stimulation. Whether your pup loves a leisurely stroll or a more energetic walk, I tailor each outing to their pace and personality. Safety is my top priority. I make sure the leash is secure, stay alert to surroundings making sure it is a safe area to walk in, and follow your dog’s routine and preferences. I make sure walks are not only safe but also enjoyable, giving your dog a chance to explore, exercise and return home happy and relaxed.

About: I've loved animals my whole life and have been around cats in one way or another for most of my life. I grew up with multiple cats and I've been taking care of my cat Cole since adopting her in 2018 as a kitten. I've been volunteering at a cat shelter for several years as a socializer and love visiting as many cats as I can when I'm there (I always stay longer than my shift). I love them dearly, always want what's best for them, and would treat your cat with the same care concern I'd treat for my own. I'd be happy to provide drop-in visits for feedings/etc or to provide your cat with some play/social time! I love meeting new cats and taking in their unique quirks! While I've had a lot more exposure to felines, I'd also happily walk/spend time with your dog. I've had a lot of good experiences with them as well - me and my landlady's dog are good pals! I'm between jobs at the moment, so I am fairly flexible in terms of availability with some notice. Sunday is my day for volunteering, though I can potentially swap my shift in an urgent situation. I'm happy to arrange for shorter/longer visits on single/recurring basis. Can assist with feedings, playtime or just hang out and provide them a loving lap! Also happy to provide photo/video updates of your fur babies to help put your mind(s) at ease!

“It’s our first time using Rover and we have a lot of apprehension but it turned out the chemistry of our pawlove Ysabel & Iveth turned out great! We felt comfortable and there was a trust that we rarely experience leaving our dog with somebody else. Iveth is so great with Ysabel and she goes beyond the basic in making our dog happy and us as owners to be comfortable. For your dog sitting needs, Iveth it is! The best!”


About: I love all animals and will care for them whether they are healthy, have disabilites or have any needs that need to be cared for. I am working part time but would like to eventually become more full time to gain experience to go into the field of caring for animals as a vet tech. Follow the rules of the house and the owner. Make sure each pet is treated with the care and patience that is needed for their care.
