“Marlee is absolutely incredible. She did a great job with taking care of my cat while I was away. She provided me with status updates and pictures every day. She even taught me a few things about taking care of cats. I would highly recommend her. She’s the best. Thanks Marlee!”
“Tori was absolutely incredible! Her daily updates were the highlight of my evening. My cats loved her so much they didn’t even really care when I got home! She was able to give my cat his allergy medicine everyday which was a huge relief and my clingy boy got some cuddles everyday which I know he loved. 10/10!!”
“She was flexible and so kind, the cats loved her and I really appreciate her detailed notes and bubbly personality. She was so great with my cats and easy to work with :)”
“Marian was great! She went over and above. I was most impressed that two of my anti-stranger cats (who have never come out for anyone) came out to see her. Highly recommend.”
“Thank you so much for taking care of our cats. I love all the picture and the amazing writings about your time with them. We will definitely be booking more for our upcoming trips. I hope thrasher wasn't too mean!!”
“Abby did great taking care if our boys! I didn't receive very many in-the-moment updates/pictures which was outside of what Im used to, but she spent significant time we'll outside of the 30 minute expected window taking being present and caring for our cats. I felt safe knowing they were in good hands - no complaints.”
About: Animals are Gods among us. I agree with Ricky Gervais, that "a dog loves you more than it loves itself, and that's why I worship dogs." Honestly, this gig is a bit selfish - my sweet baby Pit Mix passed away recently & I miss her terribly. I'm certain that engaging with animals will soothe this depression. I am socially awkward with humans, but I love animals. This will be therapy, a true gift, to me. I also need to exercise more and would like to be able to afford any kind of home, some day. My family has had pets since I was in kindergarten. I volunteered with Faithful Friends in High School, through which I also fostered kittens. I have taken care of my neighbors' & friends' pets while away over the years, which I equate to a collective total of ~2 years. I take medical issues very seriously & cared for my doll when she was ill. I understand how stressful & important it is. My favorite thing about walking a dog is when the folded tops of their ears bounce up and down. I work full time until ~4:30PM, but I am usually free after. I am available for boarding on the weekends. On the days I work from home (typically Monday & Wednesday), I can also provide a walk or check in during my lunch hour (1 to 2PM). There are no other animals or children in my home; your pet will have my undivided attention. I have a large partially fenced in yard, and many walking trails nearby. I'm also happy to take care of a pet in your home, if preferred.
About: I have had three dogs for the past 4 years and I have lots of experience taking care of other people’s dogs. I have most experience with small and medium size dogs. I am currently a student working part time so I have a lot of time to take care your pet and give them the attention they need. I have three small dogs of my own and a backyard that the dogs are welcome to play in. I am willing to have animals at my house or go to your home and take care of them in yours.
“Laurel did a great job dropping in on our cats while we were away. Communication was excellent and she was very responsible making sure the cats were ok and all was in order. I would highly recommend her”
“Justin & Stephanie took great care of my kitten and sent me regular photo updates! I also appreciate that they were flexible about drop-off time for my almost last minute reservation. I would choose them again when needed.”
About: I’ve grown up in a home with dogs, and worked briefly in an animal shelter, caring for dogs from newborn puppies to seniors, responsible for their daily care and enrichment. My job ends at 3:30pm, allowing me flexibility in afternoons and evenings, while being totally free on weekends to tend to any dog or cat. As the seasons change, so do my hours, allowing me more availability for bookings. I have knowledge on animal enrichment and training, and know how to handle different pets with all different temperaments. I know how to crate dogs, walk them, and bond with all sorts of dogs and cats.
“Molly was really great! She came over to let my dog, Zoe, out a couple times while I was gone. I got lots of pictures, she played with Zoe and made sure she had water, and Zoe really liked her.”
About: What sets me apart is 15+ years of pet care experience, expertise with senior and special-needs pets, and a personalized approach to every animal’s unique needs. With my flexible schedule, I can structure my schedule around visits, walks, or check-ins, making it easy to balance with other commitments. My experience with pets ensures that providing attentive, loving care feels natural and enjoyable, whether it’s a quick visit or an extended stay. With me as your sitter, your pet will be safe and comfortable in my home. With over 15 years of experience, I provide a pet-friendly, secure environment, free of hazards, where your pet will receive personalized care and attention. I ensure all pets feel at ease by maintaining their routines, offering cozy spaces, and supervising interactions with my own animals. I’ll also provide regular updates with photos and videos, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away!
About: I’ve had animals of all kinds since I was a kid. I’ve always enjoyed being around animals, loving on them, playing with them and just showing them attention. I work during the week so my pup is crate trained to be in for my 8 hour work day. I am off on the weekends. I have a fenced in yard, a 6 yr old male cat named Oliver, a Daschund pup named Delilah, a 15 yr old son, 4 yr old son & a 2 yr old son. Plenty of love and companionship at my home to go around.
About: I am a very experienced caregiver to dogs, cats, and fish, and am used to having pets with high needs and doing things around the house like watering plants, cleaning, and general upkeep. I do prefer caring for pets in their home, as I believe it provides a sense of stability and I can just fit into the preset routine. I am patient and empathetic towards animals and I will definitely make sure they are taken care of and feel comfortable. I can figure most things out on my own but have no problem with chatting with the parents if it comforts them and reassures them that their baby is in good hands. I am available pretty much all the time, and will definitely make your needs the first priority in my schedule. I can't wait to meet you and your pets/s!

Kellie K.
“Kellie has taken care of my beagle mix (now 13) many times over the past 10 years. She has a gentle spirit that Jules fell in love with. She followed my care instructions to the letter and my dog was happy to be able to stay at home, without a crate, while I was gone. Kellie needed to take Jules for a long walk Jules at least twice a day and did so with confidence and control. I trust her with my dog and you can too!”

Victoria has not only taken incredible care of my pups but has also looked after my house like it was her own. She's reliable, attentive, and always goes above and beyond to make sure my dogs are happy and comfortable. Whether it's feeding them, giving them walks, or just spending quality time with them, I trust her completely. Victoria’s kind and responsible nature makes her the perfect choice for any pet parent looking for someone they can count on!”

Abbie T.
“Abbie is the best!! I have a Lab and a young ball of energy Yorkie-poo. They both love Abbie and enjoy her visits. She feeds, waters, potties, and plays with them every time she comes over. It gives me great piece of mind to know that my dogs are cared for while out of town. This is our 3rd time to have her take of them for a week. Your fur babies will love Abbie!”
