“Jada did an excellent job caring for our moody cat while we were away. She is very trustworthy and a great pet sitter. Highly recommend booking her.”

“Mandy, thank you for loving on our pooch! 🐾 He is ALWAYS excited to see you—those happy photos say it all. Teddy-Duke says you’re officially family now! We truly appreciate how you always try to squeeze us in, even at a moment’s notice during emergencies. Your flexibility, kindness, and genuine care mean more to us than you know. We’re so grateful to have you and couldn’t ask for a better person to trust with our fur baby. Thank you for everything you do! 💛”

“Erika is calm, trustworthy, and knowledgeable. She has been coming to my house to do midday drop ins for my two sighthounds. They are usually reserved around new people, but Erika won them over right away. Highly recommend!”

“My babies love Patrick, it's so nice to see them happy when he comes and visits my boys! He is always on time and creates play time with both of them!”

About: I've had pets all my life, there's not a moment in my life where I never had a pet. I love animals and having the opportunity to make them happy makes me happy. I have 3 dogs of different sizes and personalities and one cat who loves being loved. Everyday I feed my pets and walk my dogs ensuring they get as much activity as possible. I like to go over the pet's care routine laid out by the owners making sure to keep detailed notes. I walk the dogs whether it be a particular length of time or desired route.
About: Hello, I'm Mylan! I have 6 years of dog walking and canine care experience. In the past I've walked small dogs, medium dogs, large dogs, senior dogs, high-energy dogs and multiple dogs at the same time (all with varying energy levels). I enjoy running and walking long distances with all dogs. In addition to walking I've done sitting for dog owners, cat owners, and rabbit owners (I also have experience caring for reptiles and fish!). Your dog's safety and comfort is my top priority, and I will take every measure necessary to ensure both. I will always bring bottled water and a clean bowl to keep your pet hydrated on long walks and runs. I can provide you with updates throughout the day with messages and pictures so you know what's going on with your dog. I am available all day Monday thru Friday and some weekend availability. I'm currently working part time so I have a lot of flexibility and energy for scheduling long or shorts walks and any care that is needed. I always put your pet's needs first, meaning that their safety and comfort are my top priority. I follow your instructions to the letter and I am not afraid to reach out with questions if I feel unsure about something.
“Meghan did a wonderful job looking after our cats. She communicated very well and left all in perfect order. Will definitely book her again when we are out of town.”

“Karen was great with my new puppy. She was kind, considerate, responsive and caring and followed all instructions well. Will definitely be using her again soon!”

About: Hi friends! First let me say, thank you for considering me as a potential caretaker for your fur babies. I take my job very seriously with heart and compassion. I have had a life surrounded by pets ever since I can remember. I have trained German Shepards with my uncle, done volunteer work with kittens and care for three disabled pets of my own currently. I also work at the humane society with many animals in need. At home and work, I am relied on for bathing, feeding, walking, medication and more. I have experience with all ages and temperaments of animals. Thank you for taking the time to review my profile, I hope your needs are perfectly met! My schedule does vary but I am mostly available early mornings and late afternoons however I always keep my calendar updated for so you can get the most accurate bookings. I genuinely care for your pets comfort and believe in treating them with true respect. I am extremely patient and fantastic at deescalating tough situations. I am able to administer medications and crate dogs when needed.

About: I love all animals. I lost my bull mastif/lab mix, Honey Bear, in February 2018. She was 12 1/2 yo. As well as my tabby, Eli, who was 19y/o, in March 2020. I am not ready for a new pupor kitten, so I thought this would provide an avenue to express my love for animals as well as help others. One of my favorites is dog walking. Because I work from home I am able to invest more outdoor activities for your furbabies. I do not have a fenced yard, however I am close to areas that can accomodate. I am very attentive and experienced to handling larger dog breeds and cats. If you are looking for someome that will love your pets as her own, please contact me. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you in advance for your consideration!

“There’s a reason Evan has a perfect rating. He was able to take care of my cat with only 12 hours notice. It was an unexpected/emergency trip so there was no advanced planning but Evan rolled with it, found everything - food, litter, the house key (!) It really was last minute. Evan even loaded and ran the dishwasher for us so that we didn’t walk into a disaster Highly recommend Evan!”

I needed someone to drop in on Brodie over the weekend while I was traveling, and Jess was absolutely wonderful! She was so kind, and her communication was excellent from start to finish. She was even happy to have a FaceTime call before the first visit, which gave me great peace of mind. Jess came by four times in total, always on time, and sent tons of pictures and videos so I could see how happy my boy was with her. It’s clear she truly cares. 10/10 I would definitely recommend her!

Hampton is so wonderful! My (normally shy) cat trusts him and is totally comfortable with him which is such a treat and a testament to Hampton’s gentleness. Hampton is always so communicative and lovely and provides the best updates. He even goes so far as to tidy up litter box and take out trash, which I so appreciate! I will continue booking him as long as he’s able to!
