“Anna was great with my pup! She had never been cared for by anyone and was very afraid. Anna was very patient with her and made her feel comfortable. Would definitely book her again!!”
“Great communication, daily updates and lots of pictures of our kitty while we were away for the week 😸 Keerie was so sweet and it was great to know our boy was in good hands while we were missing him on vacation! Will definitely rebook in the future.”

“This was the second time that Monica has done drop in visits for our kitties and she is always so great. The cats were well taken care of, and she even did a couple extra tasks around the house for us (taking out trash, bringing in the mail, etc). We would love to have her back again in the future!”
“I was very nervous leaving my lil chihuahua for a weekend trip, and Matt calmed my nerves instantly! He was amazing with my dog, and gave me plenty of pictures and updates to keep my mind at ease. I definitely recommend him especially to people like me trying this app for the first time!”

About: I have owned cats my entire life, and I have been raising my own for the past 7 years. Animals have always had a special place in my heart. I am a student and working part-time this summer, so I will have a lot of availability and can be available on short notice if needed. I have a calm energy and can read your pets body language very well. Perfect for if your furry friend is more on the anxious side! I will bring patience and understanding to any type of personality.
About: 🐶I’ve taken care of our Family Rottweiler, Mini Schanuzer and Elderly Shitzu mix. I’ve also had my Chihuahua since I was a teenager. With that being said, I am very experienced with dogs of any size from pup to senior 🐕🦺. I work from home which makes it easier to spend time with the pups as well as keep a close eye on them. This is extremely convenient if your fur baby has separation anxiety! I have a fenced in yard and two Fur babies to keep your Pup company during their stay! I’ve also got a large crate if needed.
About: I have owned and cared for both dogs and cats throughout my life for extended periods of time. I provide them plenty of loving attention and do all the related chores necessary when caring for them. I am a stay-at-home parent of three cats. However, I am able to leave whenever needed to provide care to other animals, as the other owner of our cats will often be home to continue their care. I care for pets by making sure they eat their tasty meals and treats, keeping them company with playtime and plenty of pets, cleaning up after them on a daily basis, providing them exercise, and anything necessary.
“We have been looking for the perfect person to sit with Kato. And we found her. Zoey was so good with him. He went to her as soon as he saw her. Very rare for him. He has anxieties. We have been looking since we retired to be able to travel more. Shame it is only a 5 star rating.”
“Audrey was amazing and we loved having her watch our two cats. The boys immediately warmed up to her and hung out while she was at our house. We have one cat who does not like many people but even he enjoyed his visits!! Would recommend.”

About: I've been a dog and cat owner my entire life and have a deep love for animals of all kinds. I'm especially passionate about rescue animals and understand that pets are much more than pets, they're family. I currently have both a dog and a cat, so I'm experienced with different personalities, needs, and routines. I also have experience with pets with medical needs. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, walks, or simply having a calm companion around, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. You can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member will receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I'm committed to providing a reliable, loving experience for both you and your animal. I work in education and I am off for the summer which allows me plenty of time to help care for your fur babies! I have a lot of flexibility to be able to offer drop- in visits and walking services. I currently only offer drop- in visits and walking, which will allow your pet to receive care in the comfort of familiar places! Their comfort is of the utmost importance to me!

Dee is absolutely fantastic! I am so grateful for her intuitive, empathetic care for our two cats. We’re not used to going away so I had more concerns with how the cats would handle it. When we returned the cats greeted us at the door like normal! Getting daily photos helped make being away easier. Dee is a great thoughtful communicator. I am so grateful she offers her expertise to care for all our lovable critters.

We cannot thank Gabrielle enough for the incredible care she provided for our senior dog, Rocco. Taking care of a dog with mobility issues and a wheelchair is no small task, but Gabrielle handled it with such grace and compassion. From the moment she met him, her positive attitude, warm demeanor, and generosity were on full display. She was remarkably flexible with our schedule and treated Rocco as if he were her own. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was with someone so patient and kind. We thank her from the bottom of our hearts for her exceptional care and would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who truly cares about animals.
Brianne did an amazing job with my pets! I felt very good leaving them in her hands while I was on vacation. She sent great photos and updates while I was away and the kitties were clearly well taken care of while I was gone. She even did a good job with Sushi-- my more anxious cat.
Abby is kind, friendly and a great communicator. She watched our two cats over the holidays, and our cats loved her! Our finicky cat who normally hides from strangers for days was sitting in Abby’s lap within the first two days of our trip. She kept our place clean, and let us know if anything was wrong, or had any questions. We will absolutely book Abby again when we go out of town.
Missy was so wonderful with my puppy Corbin! I had zero concerns leaving him in her hands. She was very communicative, followed directions, was respectful of my home, and was detailed in her updates. The photos she included in her updates were the highlight of my day! I could tell she really enjoyed her time with him and he was having fun and felt safe with her. Thank you so much, Missy!!!
