“We had the absolute best experience with Viridianne looking after our cat while we were away for an extended period of time. Communication was above and beyond, which made us feel so comfortable being away from our cat. She’s dependable and obviously loves animals! We will definitely ask for her services in the future when we are away ☺️”


“Sophia is a jewel. She was great with Lovey my mini Sheepadoodle. Lovey’s used to a lot of attention and is a little on the skiddish side. But they did great together. Sophia is responsible and very engaged. I returned home after 5 days and she had gotten my mail, met up a plumber I had to call and most important Lovey was happy . No issues at all. She ate every meal from day one which never happens. I will absolutely be calling Sophia again!!”


“BOOK HER! Amber was very nice and took great care of my 3 cats while we were on vacay for a week. She brought in my mail, packages and left my house as clean as it was when I left. I will definitely book her in the future. She also communicated quickly and took pictures! Thank you, Amber.”

About: I grew up on a working farm, so I've cared for all kinds of animals throughout my life. My family and I bred, raised, and sold labrador puppies for many years. Neighbors and friends have also relied on me to feed, walk, and house sit their pets. I am a stay at home mom, so my schedule is flexible allowing me to cater to your timeline. I prefer a week in advance notice, but if you're in need of last-minute care please reach out, I'd love to try and help. I live in a very rural area, perfect for walks and outdoor play with your pet! I have a fenced yard, pet-friendly indoor space, and crates for your fur baby if needed. *Please note* I do have a toddler, so if your pet is not child-friendly, please notify me in advance.

About: I’ve watched chickens, goats, horses, dogs ,cats,and so many more! I love watching the fur babies and plus I send pictures and updates to there mom and dads while they are away! I work part time at Subway and trying start my pet care business up more and I can watch your babies most of the days! I can crate your babies. I also can come to your house. I’ve noticed the animals are more comfortable in there environment than a strangers

“James was amazing with our dogs; he even got out scared shy girl to snuggle (she likes no one)! He sent updates everyday and everyone looked to have had the best time ever! Thank you, James!”


“Adelena was wonderful with our furry friends! We were happy with the updates we received while out of town. She even took the dogs for a hike! We would definitely invite Adelena back to our home for pet care.”


About: As a pet parent myself, I understand the worry and anxiety that can come with leaving your beloved companion in someone else’s care. That’s why I promise to treat your pet with the same love, compassion, and attention I give my own—because they’re not just animals, they’re family. I’ve been caring for pets of all shapes and sizes for over 15 years. My journey began as a kennel staff member at an animal hospital, where I learned the foundations of professional pet care and developed a deep appreciation for the trust pet owners place in their caregivers. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, and other small animals—each with their own personalities, needs, and quirks. I have experience administering medication (both oral and topical), working with senior pets who need a gentler pace, and supporting animals with anxiety or special needs. Whether your furry friend needs high-energy playtime, a relaxing walk, or simply someone to sit quietly with them, I tailor my care to make them feel comfortable, secure, and loved. I’m known for being dependable, detail-oriented, and communicative—I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring hands. Whether you're away for a weekend or a few weeks, I'm here to provide peace of mind and a positive experience for both you and your pet. Because when you're not home, I want your pet to feel like they still are. I am currently a stay at home mom and have the daily flexibility to ensure your pets needs are met accordingly and to your standard! Your pet's safety and your home's security are my top priorities. I understand the trust it takes to welcome someone into your personal space, and I don’t take that lightly. I treat every home with the utmost respect—keeping things clean, secure, and just as you left them. I'm mindful, responsible, and always aim to leave both your pet and your home better than I found them. You can count on me to follow your instructions closely, respect your privacy, and keep you updated regularly. Whether it’s locking up properly, caring for houseplants, or maintaining your pet’s routine to a T, I take every detail seriously. Your peace of mind means everything, and I’m committed to creating a safe, calm environment your pet can feel comfortable in while you're away.

About: I have always had a love for animals. I worked in the veterinary field for about 10 years. I have owned animals of my own since I was a small child. I aspire one day to become a certified dog trainer. I have pet sit everything from cats and dogs to goats and sheep. I do work full time but my father lets the dogs out at lunch time. I’m home by 5:30 so if it’s at my house it will be able to play from when I get home until the next morning. If the pet is not staying with me I will go before and after work and stay over if need be. My pets are extremely well cared for. Up to date on all vaccinations and flea medications. They all get plenty of exercise and have free range of the house when someone is home. They sleep in bed with me at night. I have a large fenced in yard for them to play. They are crated when someone is not home for their safety and to keep them out of trouble.

“Jasmine has been great with Dev, received pictures every day. Kept in constant communication, had no issues and will definitely use her services again in the near future:) very kind hearted individual!”


About: I’ve loved pets since i could remember, I have a german shepherd of my own. Animals are your sacred kids and need love as well! i’m currently working on part time, 3 days a week. 10hr shifts unfortunately but i’m usually pretty good at accommodating to YOUR schedule when it’s needed! I have my own german shepherd that can keep your fur baby company! I can kennel your dog if needed, and i have a safe yard to play in!

About: What sets me apart from all sitters is my deep depth for all animals. As a child, I have always developed a love for animals. My love and compassion for animals spilled over into the education field working with students with special needs. Presently, I have four rescue cats, two classroom guinea pigs, and four dogs, one of which is a rescue. I volunteer with my country's animal shelter, and I have fostered and saved many animals. My love for critters is endless. I am a teacher, so teachers do not work in the summer. However, I do work teaching summer school and a camp in June. I can work evenings and remain overnight. I have the entire month of July off. My children are grown, so my schedule is flexible. I can provide references. I live in a secluded area, so when I am home, they have free range. My dogs are leash trained. During the day when I am home, they remain in a crate. I live six minutes from work, so they arent in their crates all day. My oldest daughter lives with me, so when I am away, they are taken care of.

About: Hello! I have been taking care of pets, my own, for 17 years. I grew up with cats that were my responsibility, and am now a dog owner. I have fostered puppies and currently care for a (near) senior dog. I am pretty flexible with my schedule, and with advanced notice, I can usually meet most requests made. I do take time to travel with my dog on weekends, so I may not be available for weekend boarding. I have a room dedicated as a dog space in my home, and I have the ability to crate dogs as needed. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I have a tie out cord and leash for dogs that need more attention outdoors.

Charity B.
“As someone who spent years in the pet care industry and earned national recognition for my work, I am extremely selective when it comes to finding someone to care for my animals in my absence. Charity did a truly wonderful job looking after my two dogs, two horses, as well as my chickens and ducks. She not only provided excellent care but also kept me updated with daily check-ins and photos. Everything was smooth and well-organized, just like clockwork. I wholeheartedly recommend Charity’s pet sitting services to anyone looking for reliable, trustworthy, and professional care.”
