“Highly recommend! We had complete faith leaving our dogs with Kate. They took to her immediately and I never worried about them which never happens. I am so glad we found her and am so grateful to her for doing such an excellent job from initial correspondence to goodbye. She is so perfectly suited to this business and it’s obvious how much she loves dogs. If you are looking for a sitter in the area, you will not find anyone better.”

“Jamie is very dear and it’s clear that she cares about you and your fur babies. Her demeanor is calming and she understands how to ease in. Our request for Jamie’s help was a bit unique but she gave us piece of mind that she was willing to help. Thankful to have her support!”

About: I absolutely love animals! I grew up in a home full of dogs and cats, and helping care for them was such a big part of my life growing up. I now have a cat of my own, my fur baby, Fish 🐱 I recently graduated from PA school and won’t be starting my job until August, which means I have lots of availability this summer! Spending my days with animals honestly sounds like the perfect way to spend the season. I’d love the opportunity to care for and spend time with your pets! (: I don’t start work until August, so I have a pretty open schedule and lots of availability! I do have one week-long vacation planned this summer, but aside from that, my schedule is very flexible. I’d prefer to handle most pet care during the week, but I’m available on weekends as well! 😊 It’s a single-story home, so I’m always nearby and able to keep a close eye on any pets in the house. We also have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time and play!
“Shelby does a great job with our dog! She has come multiple times and always does a great job with him and communicates with us about him. Our dog has anxiety and Shelby does amazing with calming him and comforting him when we are gone.”

“Elizabeth has taken very good care of my Cat. She is caring and has put great effort to make my cat comfortable with her. I would strongly recommend her for pet sitting.”

About: I have a passion for fitness and a love for all pets!! Will gladly walk any and all dogs! I am a professional anthlete and I love being outdoors. Dog walking is the perfect way to combine everything I enjoy. No need to worry about being too busy to give your dog the exercise and outdoors time they deserve because your pets will be in great hands with me! They will get the exercise they need and I’ll even do my best to tire out those little pups that have more energy than you can handle! I have an upbeat pup at home so I know exactly what it’s like. Very willing and able to work around your needs and schedules. I’m currently in the off season so I have plenty of time to tend to your pups! I love exercise and being outdoors so enough activity is no problem. I have a friendly dog and plenty of access to green space. I’m home a lot and very attentive to dogs care and needs
“We had a wonderful experience working with Jessica! Jessica took care of our two kittens for about a week while we were on vacation. She was SUPER responsive, quick to reply, and gave us regular updates. It was such a relief knowing our cats were well taken care of while we were away! Our cats were happy and well cared for when we returned. We absolutely would recommend her, and will definitely be booking again in the future!”

About: Hello! I’m an animal lover through and through. I share my life with fish, dogs, cats, and a horse, so caring for animals is part of my everyday routine. I worked as an equine veterinary technician for 3 years and have 10+ years of experience in animal care.

Whether that’s an energetic walk, a game of fetch, or extra snuggles on the couch, I’ll treat your pets like they’re part of my own family. I am currently working part time in the mornings as I work a regular job from 3pm - 11pm. I am looking for add some more love and cuddles to my week finding lasting pet and people friendships. I am currently not offering boarding at my home. I am able to care for your pets as you wish at your home within my allotted time before my evening job.
“Sweet, friendly, and very communicative! She loved on my two kitties so very well while I was out of town, and it made my morning to see her dozens of adorable photos of my two boys 💗 I could tell from her first meeting with me that she absolutely loves pets and that shows through completely in her care. Will definitely rebook her!”

“Jordan did a great job following our (many) instructions and bonding with our dogs. She was great about checking in with us when questions came up and sending lots of photos. We definitely felt better about leaving our dogs knowing she was taking care of them. We highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve had large dogs my whole life. From training a puppy to adopting a dog. Also taking care of healthy and pets who are sick or need some extra attention with medications or disabilities. I work full time as a nurse and am currently working on my masters. Taking care of your pets and walking them is a way I can relax and get outside.
