“Callista was just great with our Max. He can be a little finicky, and Callista was able to make friends with him during her stay. She kept us updated with photos and shared how he was doing while we were away. She was housesitting, and when we returned everything looked great. We definitely look forward to Callista watching Max when we go away again.”
“Jojo took great of our pups and our house! She sent pictures and updates regularly and the house was in better condition than we left it. My dogs love her so much, I swear they miss her already! Will definitely book again.”
“We could tell immediately when we got home that our dog and cat were relaxed and happy after Cathy took care of them for several days. Our cat can be pretty aloof at times, so it was great to see him acting like his normal self when we returned.”
“Faith is an awesome pet and house sitter! We rescued a very high energy dog a few months ago and were a little nervous for our first time away. She took great care of the house and animals.”

About: Aloha! I'm Shanon, a naturopathic physician who loves to take care of pets in people's homes. I began caring for my neighbor's cat when I was 10 years old, graduating to dog care in my teens. Since then I have done pet sits in many states and countries, seeing some pets through their lifetimes. My clients have included dogs, cats, bunnies, tortoises, snails, fish and birds. I have also cared for chickens and horses and am willing to look after small farm animals such as goats and sheep. If requested, I take care of gardens/plants, mail/packages and any other issues that may arise while you are gone. Want local or distance references? There are many. Please ask for them! I look forward to hearing from you. Aloha, Shanon Much of my work is online so that I can spend the maximum amount of time with your furry, feathered and scaled friends - I aim to be at home 75% of the time. I treat all pets as my own so they get the attention, love and care they deserve. My services can also include administering medication (pills, subcutaneous injections for cats, insulin shots etc). I strive for your home to be in the same, if not better condition than when you left, and for your pets to be as well-tended to when you are away as when you are home.

I maintain routines, tend to details and create a cozy environment. As a part-time student in Physical Sciences and Nutrition, I blend my passion for sustainability into all I do. Your furry family is in excellent hands with my experience and empathy. Online classes grant me freedom to provide dedicated care for your pets while pursuing my studies.

About: As a studying herbalist who works on a farm, not only will I lovingly take excellent care of your pets, but I can also tend to your plants! I have been taking care of my cat Sage for 9 years. I have three families who I pet/house sit for regularly over the past few years. From short stays to a month at a time, cats to dogs, I have plenty of experience, and am dependable, trustworthy, and caring. I am currently traveling during the off-season of gardening in New York and am on the Big Island in Hawaii for a couple weeks! I am not currently working, so my full time job would be caring for your pets! I am able to walk pets or let them out as much as necessary, and available to spend lots of time playing with them. My schedule is open with full availability during the week and weekends. I have been pet/housesitting for 6+ years, and will care for your pets in the comfort of their home with respect to your space so you have a clean home to return to.
About: Aloha! My name is Ashley and I’m the proud pet-parent of two dogs. I have never known life without a pet. Growing up, we had numerous dogs and cats, but we also had some out of the ordinary pets, too- pigs, hamsters, turtles, snakes, geckos, etc. Now, my husband and I own two dogs- a ten year-old lab-pit mix, and a two year-old cane corso. I know how important it is to keep them entertained and exercised and I instill the same care in other’s pets, as well. I currently work full-time Monday-Friday, so I am available to do evening walks during the week. For boarding/home-sitting, I am available on the weekends from Friday evening through Sunday evening or potentially Monday morning. I am a homeowner and know first-hand how stressful it can be to trust someone else in your space, but more importantly with your babies. I also know it can be stressful to your pet to have someone new in their home. I am a responsible and caring person, who follows directions well.
About: My dog of 15 years (lab mix) died a few years ago. I miss her, but travel a few times a year and don't want to leave a dog that long. I have lots of love to give and I love walking with a dog. I have extensive house and dog sitting experience with references. I send owners photos of their happy pups while caring for your pet as if were my own. I work at home (writer and online teacher) so your pet will be by my side during the day and we will take frequent walks together, if your pet likes that. I work at home and walk several times a day so I can bring your pet with me if they’d like to go for a walk. I’m also affectionate with animals, and they are affectionate with me so cuddles will be on the agenda. I have a park nearby and access to nearby home wirh fenced where I could visit with your pet so they could run around even more.

I have shift work (24hr) for a total of 10 days per month that I am completely unavailable but my schedule makes it so that the days that I am available ( 20 days per month) are very flexible. I do have a young daughter who likes to come along some days if your pet is okay with children, if not, she can stay home.

About: I am a dedicated, fun, loving, and extremely caring pet sitter. I love all animals and will treat them with the utmost care and respect. I love getting to know each of your pets, individually, as they have their own unique personalities and quirks which I am excited to get to know and love. It brings me much joy to care for animals. My mom was a Certified Dog Breeder for Cavalier King Charles Spaniels' with the Animal Kennel Society. From a young age I learned how to properly care for dogs from birth. For the past 10 years I have been pet-sitting for the same family while they depart for vacation. They know I am safe, reliable and their dog really enjoys time spent with me. I work part-time Wednesday through Saturday, but am available before and after by short work shift. Available most other days. My schedule can be flexible so we may discuss your needs and go from there! I am able to safely care for your pet(s) in the comfort of your home. I feel that fur babies already have a hard time when their owners are not home and it seems to keep them at ease being in their own space. I am able to care for them in the same manner you do, provide them with care and comfort while you are away. I am trustworthy pet and house sitter and am happy to give you references.

Nina B.
“I had Nina catsit in my apartment for 5 weeks in Paris. It was the first time that I left my little boy alone for so long so I was a little worried. However Nina put my mind at ease since the beginning and Leo my cat got attached to her immediately ❤️. He was always cuddling and snuggling by her side and she took such great care of him. She send me photos and videos regularly and was always available. Also, Nina was very careful and mindful for the apartment as well, she took care of everything. I recommend Nina without any hesitation, I hope she could come back to France to take care of Leo again 💗. It was a great first experience having her in my home.”

Catherine B.
“Catherine is a very reliable and conscientious dog sitter. She took care of our miniature Schnauzer for several weeks while we traveled, and she was mindful of the fact that we live in a cohousing community (a kind of intentional community) where there are some larger dogs that can be aggressive and that she needed to pay close attention when walking our dog. I felt full confidence that Shadow was in good hands. I would definitely hire her again.”
