“Angela was great with my older dog stopping in for visits. It was clear from photos they had fun and got plenty of love and care. Professional, timely and easy to communicate with - will definitely reach out again for her.”


“When Holly came to deliver the key, my little dog Joanie knew the sound of their vehicle, and was very excited and happy to see her! Joanie is never happy to see anyone, except me when I come home. You cannot get a better reference than that:)”


“Bridgit was awesome! She communicated with me every time there was an issue. She sent me photos every day which made me feel my babies were in good hands! I will definitely keep her in mind from now on when we have to leave for vacation. Thank you so much Bridgit you were the best!”

“Patrick is so amazing. I am very grateful for his help with taking care of my pup. He is so flexible and accommodating with scheduling. My dog absolutely loves him.”


About: I have worked in zoos, wildlife rehabs, and shelters for over 5 years. I am well-versed in operant conditioning training and provided medication to many species including dogs, cats, and birds. My schedule is very flexible, so I can drop by to care for your pet in your home anytime that fits your schedule! I am not available for boarding pets at my home at this time. I am unavailable for long term stays, e.g. longer than one week I always take into account the owner's preferences for their pet. I will adapt to the way you want your pet to be cared for. With my background in the zoo field, working inside specific parameters is how animals get the best care in the way they are used to.

“My cat adored Ali. They played and cuddled, and of course Ali fed her well and groomed her and took good care of her and the house. She reliably kept her appointments for two weeks and sent me great photos and messages twice a day. I will absolutely use Ali's services again!”


“Michael was wonderful with my cat while I was traveling. Very kind, communicative and professional. He even left her an extra little bag of treats. Highly recommend.”


“Laura is the absolute best kitty sitter we could have ever dreamed of. She is so kind and loving with our three babies, and absolutely spoils them with cuddles, play time, and her genuine love for them. We receive colorful, detailed notes and lots of pictures so we can have the reassurance that our kitties are happy and so well cared for. They adore her as much as we do. Laura is the absolute best! 😻”



“I’ve hired Kristen a number of times and she knows my dogs. She was able to accommodate my short notice request with drop in visits while house sitting another family’s pets. My two day trip was a success and I was truly appreciative of Kristen accepting my Rover request. I highly recommend her with being able to work with clients. I have peace of mind knowing my dogs are safe and are happy”


“Tabatha is the best. She’s a very caring, thoughtful caregiver. Super reliable and responsive with plenty of communication and photos. She even kept an eye on the plants. Will definitely be rebooking in the future if she’s available. Thank you so much Tabatha!”


“Jesus was super friendly and our pups took to him right away. I received pictures daily and came back to 2 happy and safe dogs! Thank you Jesus will definitely see you again soon!”


About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have spent years caring for the pets of friends, family, and neighbors. I also have some light training experience. I’m a night owl but can be up early too, so I’m happy to take on late night or early morning pet care as needed. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate a wide range of care needs. I’m calm, confident, and attentive with animals, and I always aim to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. I'm a mature, patient, and responsible woman with an enthusiastic love for animals. I would be honored if you you'd allow me to put my years of responsibility and experience to use with your fur family! I have a very flexible schedule and a huge heart. Pets have given me so much for so little in exchange. I have all the time and energy for the doggos that need it! I have a two-story townhouse with a fenced-in yard. We have a dog run in our gated community and several parks close by for sniffing exploration.

“Sam was the best! She was able to accommodate my last minute check ins on my two boys. I felt safe letting her into my home. I arrived home to them waiting and they were well taken care of. I 100% recommend and will use her services in the future.”


“Madelynne was very communicative and reliable in dropping in on our two very active dogs for a long weekend. She was professional and polite. She even helped sort out an issue with our auto cat feeder while we were away. We would definitely book her again.”


“Savannah was kind, polite and followed all my instructions. My dog loved her right away, despite usually being shy with new people. It's obvious from the photos she sent that my pup was so well loved and cared for during her visits. I would definitely book her again!”


“After we fired our first sitter (at the beginning of our trip) for the lack of care she gave to our 2 dogs, we messaged multiple sitters hoping to find someone quickly who could provide better care for our girls. Samantha messaged me back first, and she accommodated us with our last minute request with grace. She was EXCEPTIONALLY better than our last sitter - on time, communicative, and good with our girls. We could tell from the photos that our dogs really liked her and her daughter, and it put me at ease so we could finish the last of our trip de stressed, knowing that our girls were getting good care. We will absolutely be reaching out to Samantha again for future visits!!!”


“Candice was great! She provided me with great details and updates while watching over my pup. Candice asked plenty of questions during the first introduction to ensure my pup received the best care possible.”

I contacted Olivia only a few days before I was in need of someone to take care of my beloved cat, Zayda. She responded right away, came to do a meet-and-greet that same evening, and right away I knew that I could trust her with my baby. After booking her initially for drop-in visits, I asked her if she'd be willing to adjust the booking to staying overnight instead because I worried about my cat being lonely and scared of fireworks. Olivia didn't hesitate a second - she understood my needs and completely accommodated the change on short notice. She sent photos twice a day and communicated well. I am very grateful to have found her.

I can’t say enough about the wonderful care Alexa took with my senior kitty. She was kind, responsible, communicative and definitely made my vacation worry free. It’s so wonderful to know you can go away and count on someone to be there for your furry family member.

This was the first time I used this site and I had Brigid come over and watch my two little girls for a couple of days. everything seems perfect The girls acted kind of weird when I came back, I'm thinking that they were just mad at me for deserting them I think they thought that they were up for adoption because some lady was coming to take care of them haha! I will definitely use them again. Thank you Brigid.
