Emily was incredibly quick to respond, and she was energetic and polite with her communications while watching our pup. We felt like our dog was in good hands, and we won’t hesitate to book with Emily again!

Matt has taken care of our pups twice now and he has become our first choice when we need dog care. We have 2 big dogs that can be intimidating and a small dog that takes a while to warm up to new people. He handles them all well and they all like him including our small dog who lets Matt give him pets. He does a thorough job of reporting on the visit and the dogs’ activities. We love this, because our dogs are older and a couple of them have health issues.

Madison was very patient with my very shy cats. She gave me regular updates on how they were doing and went above and beyond with cleaning up after them. I felt like they were in kind and capable hands the entire week.

We had Emilie drop in and care for our cats while we were out of town for a week and felt so comfortable with them in her care. She provided text and photo updates for each drop in visit, made all the visits at the requested times, and even brought in a package for us that was delivered while we were gone! I really appreciate her taking the time to get to know our cats and make sure they were as comfortable as possible in our absence. We highly recommend Emilie and will definitely have her petsit again in the future!

Lani’s first walking session got a little complicated when my dog became protective right at the front door. I reviewed the front door ring footage out of curiosity & was shocked to hear the noises that came from my pooch. Lani was so patient & still continued with the walking session even after some scary snarling. Lani communicated what was happening from the very beginning & even feels comfortable to return for additional walks. She was very understanding of my anxious/scared doggo.

Mona did such a wonderful job with our dog while we were gone. She wrote to us every day and sent pictures twice daily. She is positive, very reliable, professional and fun. We returned to a young dog who was calm, secure and well cared for after the longest stretch she had experienced away from her family ever. That is such a wonderful compliment to Mona's care and caring and we thank her so much.

Maddy is our go to pet sitter when we are out of town! She truly cares about our dogs (and cats) and we know when they’re with her there’s nothing to worry about. From a short weekend to a week long vacation she is the person we call. Could not recommend her enough!

About: I have years of experience volunteering at a veterinary clinic and have experience with pet boarding. I own two male French bulldogs that love to play with other dogs! I have a part-time internship in marketing and have extra availability during the week. My hours are flexible, and I can readily accommodate different schedules. I have experience in working with new dogs, making them feel comfortable while meeting the needs of their owners. I am consistent and work safely in new environments while respecting a dog's boundaries.

Ashley is an animal lover! She is responsible, conscientious, punctual, and most of all, loving. She has always cared for family, friends, and neighbors pets when needed. She loves to take her Chocolate Labrador, Kaya, to the dog beach and bathes her after each beach adventure. Ashley is raising Tito, a kitten that was rescued at 2 days. Tito is almost a year and he comes when called and is a very loved boy. She loves to play with all animals. She has swum with the dolphins and has even been kissed by an alpaca! She worked at a Woof Gang Dog Bakery to work with dogs and pet owners. She is a wonderful choice for Rover!

Carolyn did a great job watching my sweet cat, Lucy! Carolyn came beforehand for a meet & greet, - she took notes and asked great questions to be best prepared for the visits. Every day I received several pictures and a sweet message about how they spent their time together. By the end of the week, it was clear Carolyn & Lucy had developed a friendship. It was such a relief to know Lucy was in great hands while we were away. Thank you very much. We will definitely book again in the future!
