“Scott was incredibly communicative and professional. This was exactly what I needed for my first time leaving my cat alone during an extended trip. He was so sweet and attentive, even offering to check in extra during the holiday fireworks in case they caused any stress. Not only did he spend quality time with my cat, but he also made sure his favorite toys were always accessible (even rescuing them from under the fridge!). I felt completely at ease knowing my kitty was in such caring hands.”
About: Hi! I’m an experienced pet sitter with nearly five years of caring for other people’s furry family members in both my home and theirs. I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life—currently I share my home (and my couch) with my 7-year-old black Lab. He has asthma, so I do have experience at pet meds and inhalers—nurse, treat dispenser, and belly rub specialist all in one. Your dog will get daily walks (because mine says it’s non-negotiable), plus all the sniffing, playing, and cuddling they can handle. I’ll also send you photo updates so you can see them living their best vacation life while you’re away. Think of me as their second favorite human—right after you, of course! I work from home on Mondays and Fridays and am available most weekends, so your pup will have round the clock care during those hours. Your dog will get daily walks (because mine says it’s non-negotiable), plus all the sniffing, playing, and cuddling they can handle. I have a black lab who has asthma, so I do have experience at pet meds and inhalers. Your dog will get daily walks during their stay with us. I am a helicopter pet parent so I insist on sending you photo updates while you’re away.
“I’m so grateful for Hannah! She has such a calm and gentle energy that shows in her care for your pet. She goes above and beyond and I highly recommend her service. She doesn’t just stop in for a visit, she truly cares and it shows. Thank you, Hannah for giving me the confidence that all is well back home so I can enjoy my time away. You are appreciated!”
“Lydia was available on short notice and was just great. She kept me updated on my cats and asked questions when she had concerns. I was able to enjoy my out of town trip knowing they were in good hands.”
“Alexandra took good care of our cats, including our special needs boy. His medication needed to be given every 12 hours, and Alexandra handled it without fail. She is 100% reliable and that was very important to us. She was responsive and easy to communicate with. We highly recommend her.”
About: I have four years experience working at a vet clinic, which included general care, vaccine administration, and nail trims. I have a lot of experience with dogs, cats, and even horses. I currently don’t have any dogs or cats but am a loving owner of one horse! I am a college student looking for a part time job to keep me busy on my days off. I have Sunday through Tuesday available most weeks! I have a lot of experience with dogs and cat care, I would love to take dogs on walks, or even hanging out with them to give them some company! I have experience with dogs of all sizes including high energy and nervous pets too!
“Alyssa did a great job with our kitties and turtle! Our shy youngest warmed up to her super quickly, and she got some great photos for our updates. She had very timely communication, and we're super appreciative that she was able to come on such short notice for the holiday.”
About: Hi there. I’ve owned animals since I was quite little but I’m been in the pet sitting/caring industry since I was 13. My first job I was taking care of horses,donkeys,a mini pony,two goats, 2 dogs and cats. I’ve have been in veterinary medicine almost 4 years now as a veterinary nurse. So if you pet has medical needs that needs to be done wile your gone. I’ve got you covered. I always like to meet pets with their pet parents. Having the pet comfortable around me is very important to my job and the pets well being! I work only 4 days a week and I work different hours than most people do too. So my schedule is pretty open as for my schedule I always like animal in their own home. It smells like them and their family. And I don’t like to break routine for them. Doing it their home is stress free in my opinion

Savanna was wonderful with our cats, as always! She gave them lots of love and affection, and also took care of their basic needs while we were away. We appreciate Savanna’s flexibility in following their high maintenance diet. Savanna sent lots of great pictures of our cats too. Thanks a ton Savanna!

Danielle and her husband did an amazing job taking care of our fur baby while we were out of town. Our kitty was fed, watered, litter box cleaned. They even took the extra care to cuddle and play with our kitty - she is very social and loves the extra attention. We came home to a happy kitty! Would book again and definitely recommend.
