“Rebekah was fantastic with my kitty Nyla. She is way more experienced than I am with cats, so it was awesome. She came to check on her 2-3 times per day, played with her, fed her & even turned on Cat TV for her. I got lots of notes each visit & pictures. I will for sure be using her in the future:)”

I’ve also stayed for a week at a time taking care of family/friends fur babies I’m currently working part time and from home so I’m always available! From short walks to long stays!

Thank you for being such a wonderful cat sitter!! It helped ease our nerves while being away for so long!”
About: As a former foster parent for dogs, I’ve cared for pups of all ages, sizes, and personalities—from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs who need extra patience and love. I know how to read their body language, build trust, and provide a calm, comforting space. Whether your dog needs playful enrichment, gentle medication, or just lots of snuggles, I tailor my care to their unique needs. I treat every dog like family because to me, they truly are. I am also willing to help monitor and care for cats, and other small in-home animals, such as hamsters. If you have any of these pets that will need tended to please let me know during your booking. Bonus: I’m experienced with crate training, leash manners, and helping shy or anxious pups feel safe. Your dog will be in loving, capable hands! Please see my attached schedule within the photos for time frames I am available for your baby! If you have any questions about my availability or schedule, don't hesitate to reach out! At my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I create a safe, cozy, and low-stress environment where dogs can relax, play, and feel right at home. I follow their normal routines as closely as possible—feeding times, walks, play, and any special instructions you provide. Because of my experience as a foster parent, I’m very mindful of each dog’s personality and comfort level. Whether they need extra playtime, space to decompress, or just a lot of love, I adjust my care to fit their needs. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to respect their space and routines while keeping communication open. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being always come first—no matter where they are.
About: I love Gods creatures, great and small. I am a lover of unconditional 4 legged of love! I will treat your fur family as if they were my own- unconditionally and with care! I do work a part time job, but officially retired, I love to walk, I look forward to being motivated and sharing the joy of it! I have flexibility and mobility. I can also stay in your pets comfortable environment, to make sure they have comfort and care well with them. I would favor allowing your fur family to remain in their comfortable environment rather than stressing them in my home. I am available to come to serve you and them.
“Morgan was available on short notice and made adjustments as my schedule changed leading up to the booking. During my time out of town, it was a huge relief seeing pictures and details of what was happening at home. Morgan went above and beyond while she was taking care of my furbabies to ensure they had everything they needed, even turning on my heat when the temps dropped and checking on my turtle to ensure he was safe too! My pups are old and can need a little patience and alot of love...knowing Morgan was there gave me all the peace I needed to be able to focus on my trip. Thanks so much Morgan!!!!”
About: Growing up with dogs as a part of the family I have taken care of them my whole life. When I was 15 my family brought home a new puppy and I didn’t have a summer job, so she was my responsibility. Over the years I have taken care of dogs of all ages from energetic puppies to senior pups that need a little more love and understanding. I have administered medications and eye drops with ease and few trick up my sleeves. I enjoy having training sessions with the dogs and even teaching them a new trick while their family is away. This helps give them something to focus on and encourages bonding between us. I would be honored to take care of your furry family member while you’re away. I'm currently working part time and would love to help out your family while I have the time. While in my current status I can do more walks, potty breaks as needed. Potty break is the first and foremost needed when I arrive at a client's home. Then a walk, a little time for some training and a little bit of play as well. It's just as important they have some mental stimulation.
About: With 15+ years of experience caring for both cats and dogs, I provide loving, dependable pet sitting tailored to each animal’s personality and needs. From energetic pups to shy kitties, I treat every pet like my own—because they deserve nothing less. I’m a clear and thoughtful communicator. I keep pet parents informed and reassured with regular updates and check-ins. I currently work from home, so I’m very flexible with morning, afternoon, or evening visits. Let me know your schedule, and I’ll be there. Looking forward to meeting your pet! Although I don’t offer my in-home services, I am able to drop in on pets at client homes! I can easily follow feeding schedules and routines to make your pet feel safe and comfortable while you’re away!
“I was so nervous about leaving my cats when I went on vacation, but Sarah was absolutely wonderfully! She responded quickly to my request for her services and was very polite and professional. She took great care of my furbabies and I will definitely use her services again in the future! Thanks again Sarah! Leia and Sami thank you too ?”
“Abby was great at taking care of my two cats! Her updates were thorough and she had no issues with meeting the needs of my cats. I will use her again in the future for sure!”
About: I worked for a veterinary clinic as a kennel attendant which included duties such as: bathing, feeding, day care, safe restraint practices, oral medication administration, cleaning, and walking. I also have two cats of my own - Willa and Peaches! Peaches is a cat with medical needs and is currently in remission for a 90 day treatment! I work as a science teacher and am contracted weekdays from 7am - 4pm and will always check that I am able to give reliable and consistent care before accepting a reservation. I will always take photos of play, feeding, medication (if needed), and any other requests to ensure that you are confident in their care and that they are happy and healthy.

Melissa W.
“Missy is the kind of sitter every pet parent hopes to find. From our first meet-and-greet, she connected instantly with our two spirited miniature schnauzer boys, Franklin and Benjamin, and treated them as if they were her own. While we were away, Missy sent thoughtful updates and photos that captured their personalities—whether they were chasing squeaky toys or curled up for afternoon naps—so we never had to wonder how they were doing. Beyond the sweet snapshots, Missy’s professionalism shone through in every detail: prompt communication, meticulous adherence to their feeding and walking routines, and a spotless home when we returned. If you’re looking for peace of mind and pups who come home happy, tired, and thoroughly loved, book Missy. Five stars simply don’t feel like enough.”
