“Haylee did an awesome job with my finicky kitties while I was gone. I felt like I knew what was going on with my 1 sick cat and didn't have to worry about him. My other cat wouldn't eat while a sitter was here but he was just fine when I returned from my weekend away. This was my first time utilizing a pet sitting service and I will definitely do so again with Haylee!”
“Micaela was wonderful! Reliable, gentle with the dogs. Communication is great! My dogs were calm when I got home. Will definitely use Micaela again when she is available!!”
“Great communication. Brought treats for our cats (Checked with us first) Seemed sincerely affectionate and fond of our cats. Gave us daily updates beyond the pictures and duties performed. We felt very comfortable being away because we felt our girls were in really good hands.”

“Jocelyn was very attentive to our pug, Morty. We know that he can be stubborn sometimes and she showed him patience and was very understanding of his nature and accidents. My partner and I were on an international trip during our booking and her daily updates made us both feel relieved that Morty was being well taken care of. I felt that she showed him the same amount of compassion as if he were her own dog.”
About: Growing up on a farm, I took care of many animals from a young age- cats, dogs, horses, rabbits and chickens. As an adult, I have always had an animal and love taking care of friends and family's pets. I've taken care of puppies, kittens and senior dogs as well and can provide them all the love and attention they deserve I'm currently working part-time, and have time to play with your pups and cats! Whether it's an early morning walk, evening let out or taking care of your fur baby in your home while you're away- they'll be in good hands. I am happy to come to your home and care for your pet while you're away. I love taking walks so they can stretch those legs, feel comfortable crating animals if that's their routine and happily can play fetch with them in the backyard.
About: I’ve looked after family and neighbors’ dogs whenever they needed, and love spending time with all kinds of pups. Whether it’s going for walks, playing outside, or just hanging out and keeping them company, I always make sure they’re happy and comfortable. I treat every dog like my own and do my best to keep their tails wagging! I’m available after 3:00 pm anyday. But my school schedule varies through out the week Monday I could stop in between 10 and 12 if needed, Tuesdays available at 1:00 pm, Thursdays available at 11:00 am. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well taken care of. I always keep an eye on safety, making sure doors and gates are secure and that everything stays clean and calm. My goal is to make your pet feel happy and at ease while you’re away.
About: i've been taking care of my own animals since i was a child, That helped me to be responsible and create habits of care until now, i know how to bath animals, I love playing with them and spending time with them that fills my heart with a lot of joy. i have time to take care of pets and play with them on my weekends or even make them a walk plan, thats my day shifts on pet care for night shifts I am free at night mostly from friday to sunday since it is comfortable for me to have everything more organized. I take care of the animals in the apartment in different ways, they will never be caged or chained in my care, I have a playroom for animals and I usually take them out to the courtyard of the building at certain times to walk and relieve themselves. Also the pet I take care of will be accompanied by my little kitten which is very friendly
About: I have a huge passion for dogs! I grew with dogs and cats in my household since I have been a child. My parents always had a dog and cats in their household. Currently have I three dogs of my own. I have German Shepherd, English Springer Spaniel, and a Chihuahua/Rat terrier mixed that was rescued from California. I have rescued many dogs and cats to safe local shelters in the area. Then done plenty of babysitting dogs for family and friends! All I can say is I just love dogs! I’m huge cat lover as well! I have lots cat experience and I’m always rescuing cats to good homes as well! Rescued two cats as well! Love my kitties! I work part time currently and I do have time to take care of other pets in my situation. This is a passion of mine! Willing to work week days and weekends! I don’t have fenced in your yard at this time. Your pet will be leashed when taking potty breaks or walks outside. I do have crate provided for your pet when sitting. I prefer pet sitting your horse and dog walking in your area where your house is located.
“Daniel was great. He checked in every day and gave Nala plenty of attention. He was upfront about when he'd be at the house and made me feel comfortable knowing our girl was safe. He went above and beyond.”
“Mikayla does a fantastic job caring for our diabetic cat and I don’t know what we would do without her! She’s extremely reliable and more than happy to help with anything that may come up in our absence. She keeps us in the know about how things are going and was so touched when our cat fully warmed up to her during this extended period. Highly recommend Mikayla for any pet care needs!”

Great communication. Brought treats for our cats (Checked with us first) Seemed sincerely affectionate and fond of our cats. Gave us daily updates beyond the pictures and duties performed. We felt very comfortable being away because we felt our girls were in really good hands.
Alexis is phenomenal! I was traveling for about a week over the holidays and had booked her for drop-in visits to check on my cats every other day. It was originally going to be 3 visits, but I had to last minute add in a 4th. She was very responsive and super flexible for me having to add that extra day. My cats all free-feed, but my senior cat (14) has a rather unique feeding routine where I seclude the younger cats so he can eat a separate meal. During our Meet & Greet, I showed her how I do that with them and while I was gone, she jumped right into that routine to make sure they were distracted and Petrie got his meal. She is so kind and compassionate and took excellent care of my babies while I was gone. They all loved her so much too, which says a lot because one of my cats is usually very cautious around new people, but he did not once shy away from Alexis. He couldn't get enough of her and got so many lovins! On the days she wasn’t there, my cats were a little mischievous, so by the time she came for her visit, she almost always had to pick something up or clean up a small mess. That didn’t seem to sway her at all though - she still provided outstanding care for my babies and kept me in the loop on their shenanigans. I don’t typically travel for long periods like that, but having Alexis as my sitter has given me such a peace of mind. Given my babies loved her so much and how well she took care of them and the place, I will not hesitate to book her again for my next trip!
