“Genna took wonderful care of my 2 cats while I was out of the country. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure everything was going well while I was away. It gave me real peace of mind knowing my cats were in such good hands. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and dependable sitter.”
About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life! I had three cats and a dog growing up, along with helping out with pets of my other family members. I did an unpaid internship at a veterinary hospital so I know how important it is to take good care of our animals! I’m currently in college classes for a few hours a day during weekdays, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets! Now that it’s getting warmer outside, I’m excited to be able to do outdoor walks with your pups! My home is laid out so there is no danger of your pet getting into anything and I live in a good neighborhood for walking around!
“Joanie was just wonderful with our dog, Arlow. She was attentive and responsible and really earned both Arlows and our trust. She is so sweet and reliable and we can’t wait to have her back as our sitter! I really felt like i could sit back and enjoy our vacation knowing Joanie was taking care of our puppers. 🖤 10/10”

“Linnea did a wonderful job taking care of our cats! She was very responsive and flexible. Our cats were calm and well adjusted when we arrived home.”

“Kristen is very patient with my dog, who can be a bit wiggy on walks when he sees other dogs. She is very experienced,and therefore, knows how to handle him. I'm very appreciative of her style and experience.”


About: I’ve loved and cared for animals my entire life. Growing up on a farm taught me responsibility, patience, and how to understand animals’ unique personalities and needs. Today, I’m the proud owner of two Golden Retrievers, so I know firsthand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies who need consistency and training reinforcement to senior dogs who require extra patience, attention, and specialized care. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’m committed to providing attentive, personalized care that helps them feel comfortable and happy while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being. I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to provide consistent attention throughout the day. Because I’m home most of the time, I’m able to accommodate walks, potty breaks, play sessions, feedings, and check-ins that fit your pet’s normal routine. My flexibility also makes it easier to accommodate last-minute requests whenever my schedule allows. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special instructions before care begins. Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or my own, I provide a calm, attentive environment and make sure they receive plenty of exercise, affection, and supervision. I understand that every pet is different, so I follow owner instructions closely regarding feeding schedules, medications, walking routines, training commands, and household rules. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away.

“Diana took good care of my catson Benny and was great about communicating updates. I came home from my trip away to find him well and happy! I recommend her services for anyone with cat sitting needs.”

“Caitlin was fantastic! She took great care of our two cats while we were away for a few days and made sure they were comfortable and happy the whole time. She was very communicative, sending updates and photos each day, and she followed all of our instructions perfectly. We felt totally at ease knowing our cats were in such good hands. Highly recommend!”

About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, chickens, and bunnies for the past ten years! I have experiencing taking care of animals while house sitting for long stretches of time. I love getting outside, walking, and running with dogs! I am reliable, gentle, and love getting to share new connections with animals. It would be so great to take care of your animal babies! I'm currently in grad school but have significant room for walking, dropping in, and overnight stays. My schedule is mostly busy during the days on Tuesday and Thursday, but I have time in the morning, evening, and afternoons. I stick to what each owner/parent prefers. As for my dog, he is really good about recall so we are able to let him run around the backyard without fencing. When we walk on trail he is mostly on leash unless we are in the backcountry. Again, I stick to what each owner prefers for their animal baby!
“Zane took great care of my boy Elliot while I was away for over two weeks. He feed him on time, cleaned his litter and had play time. He sent selfies of them almost everyday. My place was just as I had left when I returned. Highly recommend!”

“Carolyn did two check-ins with our puppy Finn. She was on-time, professional and communicative and she went above and beyond to provide the best care for Finn.”


About: I have a strong love and affection for animals of all types, and have been a pet owner most of my life. I have been a sitter for family and friends more times than I can remember, and have experience caring for dogs, cats, reptiles and fish. I also have cared for older pets and am comfortable administering medication when needed. Whether it’s a quick drop in or an extended time, I’ll treat your furry companion(s) with all the love and attentive care they deserve. I will be working part time but also have a flexible schedule, I’m willing to work with clients to meet their schedule needs as much as I can. No backyard, but a dog park and safe walking spaces are available near me in a quiet apartment complex. Pets can be lonely while away from their owners, but I will provide lots of affection and play time to make sure they are as happy as ever. I will also keep detailed notes on any specific care your pet(s) may require, and can be reached at my cell if needed.
About: I understand the responsibility that comes with taking care of your beloved pet and want to be there to support and love on your dog. I pride myself on my compassion, love, and understanding of all pets and their unique needs. I am a college student that loves to work with animals. I have classes during the day but am available in the early mornings, afternoons and evenings to take care of your pets. I am also available on weekends and for overnight care. I understand the concern that may come with leaving your pet with a stranger and take careful consideration in to making sure that doors are closed behind me, safety hazards are removed from the pets reach, and a high level of attentiveness while on walks.

About: I love animals, always have and always will! I have lots of knowledge when it comes to caring for dogs, and cats! I have experience with administering medication for cats and dogs. I am a teacher so my summer is complete open! Anytime you need or any day I can do it. My weekends are also free, so you tell me what you need, and I’ll make it work. I live in an apartment (with a cat) so boarding your fur baby will depend on how well your animals can tolerate cats. My cat is VERY friendly and loves company.
“You couldn’t ask for a more responsible, reliable, and caring dog sitter. As soon as we did a meet & greet, it was clear how good Melissa was with dogs, & our dogs adored her. She sent me pictures & updates all day. I will absolutely be contacting her again for any pet sitting needs.”
