“Jacob took care of our three cats for our week-long vacation, providing daily medication to two of them. He was punctual for his visits and provided updates on how they were. I appreciate his reliability and taking good care of everyone while we were away.”
“Laura is amazing with our doggie! She gives her lots of love while we are out of town, and treats her as if she was her own dog. We will definitely keep scheduling with her. You will like her with your doggies too!”
About: I grew up with a dog and have since provided pet sitting services for neighbors and friends. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for dogs of all breeds and personalities. I currently volunteer at the county dog shelter, where I work with dogs of all temperaments, including shy or nervous pets who need extra time to warm up to new people. Being very active myself, I’m also comfortable handling strong dogs who tend to pull during walks. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pups while you're away on trips or at work! I work a typical 9-to-5 schedule and primarily work from home, which allows me to take breaks and visit or walk your pets frequently throughout the day. I currently don't have any pets of my own, so your pet will receive my full attention while in my care. I am happy to meet before booking to see if I am the right fit for your pet!
“Charlotte was able to give us several days of drop-in visits for our sometimes curmudgeonly cat on short notice, even though neither she nor we had much Rover experience. I really appreciated her open communication about that. I also appreciated her coming (on time!) for our meet and greet and how responsive she was to texts. She let us know when our cat was sick, and she cleaned up after him - the house and litterbox were tidy and our cat was content when we returned home from our trip. I would request her service again. My only negative was that one time she was late or forgot to send a photo during the visit, which made me nervous the visit had not occurred; however, when I texted to check in, she was responsive and had been here. We also had some minor confusion about whether our cat was allowed outside between visits, and small details I wish I’d left better instructions about, but on the whole I feel she really cared about doing a great job to care for our pet and to communicate with us. I hope in the future she is available to visit or housesit for both of our pets.”
About: As an animal person since birth I work hard to understand the specific needs and wants of each animal family member. I have worked with a wide variety of animals my whole life, in vet clinics, animal rehabs, farms, and homes. I can provide walks, hikes, senior care, interactive play time, personal attention, socialization, and general bathing and maintenance. I am incredibly intuitive and patient and pride myself in providing unique adaptive care to each pet. No pet is too big or small; too young or old! I care for all species as well. (dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, etc.) All animals deserve love and care! My work schedule is currently very flexible so most days are available at any time. I make sure to keep my calendar up to date. The safety of your pet is number one. I am more then happy to put in time to build trust with your pet. I even have a very patient dog of my own who can provide a friend to your dog or cat and help with socializing young or nervous animals. I not only care for your pet but your home. Any mess made by me or your pet I make sure to clean!

About: I have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages, as well as bunnies and cats. I am also familiar with pet anxiety and protective/territorial dogs. My friends and family have also had me pet-sit for them multiple times. I currently have a part-time job that is closed on Sundays and Mondays. I usually work from around 12 PM to 6 PM at the latest and am available the rest of the day. I make sure to keep non-toys out of reach and I make sure to inspect the yard before letting pets outside. I also follow the owners’ instructions very closely. Updates are provided to owners regularly.

Chloe K.
“I have known Chloe for over ten years and I can say that she is the best and most loving person to go to for any dog walker or pet watching needs. Chloe has always have a love for animals and has always been super responsible. In the past, Chloe had dog watched for many families going out of town and they have always left amazing reviews. She has then become the go-to for anyone planning on going away and in need of someone to care or walk their dog. Chloe also has been one to get involved and volunteer her time to help at local pet centers, which includes help caring for the pets and taking them out on walks regularly. I would rate Chloe a 11/10 and know that when ever I leave on vacation she is the first person I call to watch my ten year old dog Simba. In the last five years, Chloe has watched my dog and taken him on walks for when I had to leave on work trips ranging from a weekend to ten days, and does an amazing job each time. She is an amazing person and you could not trust your pet to be in better hands.”
