About: Hello! My name is Karissa and I'm 25. I've taken care of, fostered, and owned many cats and dogs throughout all life stages. As a child, I always had animals in the house to take care of, and I've been dog/cat sitting since I was 16. I am familiar with kittens and puppies, but also with elderly dogs/cats as well as dogs/cats with various medical conditions that may need different kinds of medicine administration or lifestyle adjustments. I am currently available full time for your pet, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your animals! I am available for house sitting and stopping by your home. I understand that keeping our pets safe and happy is of the highest priority, and how I will take care of your pets will reflect that. It is always important to make sure your pups are going on walks fit for their lifestyle/needs and that every cat is getting the stimulation they need while you are away.

“Richard was amazing. He took such good care of my belly girl who is my prize possession. He sent pictures every day while I was away which I really appreciated. He cleaned up after an explosion of old milk in the refrigerator which was above and beyond he really was an amazing and I hope to I use him again many times in the future.”



“Sandra was wonderful. Someone willing to watch the pups in our own home makes everything easier on us and our 2 dogs. They were not stressed at all when we returned, and both seemed very happy to have spent the day with their new best friend Sandra. We will definitely call on her again in the future.”


“Matthew took excellent care of our dogs and home. He was reliable, communicative, thoughtful and caring. He went above and beyond to make sure we returned to happy dogs and a clean home. Would definitely rebook!”


About: I’ve cared for small to medium size dogs since I was 15. Neighbors, friends and family members have trusted me to feed, groom and walk their furry friends I’m currently working part-time, which allows me the flexibility and availability to give your pup(s) plenty of attention and care. I’m also available for boarding if you’re heading out of town and need a safe, loving place for them to stay. While I don’t have a fenced yard, our neighborhood offers plenty of space for enjoyable walks and grassy areas for potty breaks. I also have a friendly 3-year-old Yorkie at home who loves to play and socialize.

“Lauren and Layla were great! Very understanding and patient with my timid dog and wonderful communicators during my trip. Both of my dogs were happy and well cared for when I got back.”


“Haley awesome with our 2 very needy and spoiled English Bulldogs! We received pictures and updates daily, which put my mind at ease since we had never left them for 8 days. And when we returned I was pretty sure our home was cleaner than I left it😃. Highly recommend Haley. Will definitely use her again(if she will have my 2 crazies).”


“Megan was a fantastic house and dog sitter. Our pitbull can act tough sometimes and Megan was able to put her at ease and really got her comfortable! She sent us pictures of both pups daily! We already have her booked for our next vacation!”


“We couldn’t be more grateful to Isabelle for the amazing care our senior dog and two cats received! Isabelle was kind, attentive, and incredibly responsible. She administered our cats daily medications with no issues and kept a close eye on her needs, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She also took wonderful care of our other two pets making sure they were comfortable, fed, and happy. Isabelle regularly communicated with us—sending updates, photos, and info about how everyone was doing. It was clear she truly cared and treated our pets like her own. We came home to calm, content animals and a clean, well-kept home. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and skilled pet sitter!”


“Rebekah was amazing - very detailed oriented, and many important questions and wrote down everything we discussed when we met. She also came back a second time just to make sure no details/information was forgotten which I was impressed about. During our time away I always received photos and updates on Summer. House was swept, dishes cleaned and table wiped/cleaned when we returned home. Rebekah was very respectful of my house. Summer can't wait til next time!”


“Elise did a great job taking care of our animals while we were away. She was reliable, caring, and kept us updated with messages and photos. Our pets were happy and relaxed when we got home, and everything was clean and in order. We’re really grateful for her help and would absolutely recommend her!”


“Lauren is awesome! I had no worries about the care of Benny and Sox. She's a very capable and calming factor to my 2 high energy kids. She is my go to sitter going forward.”
