“Edith was very prompt with her check-ins each day, and sent photos every time she came over. I never once worried whether or not my cat was getting the care and attention he needed. Thanks Edith!”
“Leah has done drop in for our cat a couple of times now and is always on time and very reliable! We would recommend her anytime!”
“Falecia is a fantastic pet sitter and I highly recommend her services. She took care of our older male cat for four days recently. Initially, Falecia was responsive when I contacted her and immediately set up a meet and greet. She was timely for the meeting, very professional, listened carefully, had a number of good questions for me and was willing to help with watering and mail while we were away. She sent updates with photos and videos daily. She interacted with my kitty by bringing in a laser pointer for him to chase around. I felt very confident that he was well cared for”

About: I'm an attentive, empathetic caregiver with a special love for cats and experience caring for pets of all kinds. I’m patient and observant, great with shy or sensitive animals, and I enjoy teaching dogs new tricks and commands. Whether your pet needs playtime, calm companionship, or structured care, I’m here to help them feel safe and loved while you're away. I can do pet care anytime before or after my current full time job, or on my days off; the hours are a little different from your traditional work day, so that leaves me free to care for your pet when you can’t! Currently, I can do check-ins and dog walks Mon, Tue, Sat, Sun before 9:30 AM and after 6:30 PM, Wed before 9:30 AM, and Thu and Fri 8 AM - 8 PM. I take the utmost care to make sure your pet is safe and happy in their home while you're away! I used to own a husky, so I'm very used to making sure no runners go bolting out the door, and I will make sure your pet gets ample time to get to know me before I move about the house too much. I have a very anxious cat myself, and am very willing to take things slow if necessary so that your pet can be as comfortable with me as possible. While I'm there, I'll make sure our pet has everything they need to thrive while you're away, from ample food and water to plenty of fun and engaging interaction.

About: I have been taking care of pets for over 20 years, watching them for friends and family as well as taking great care of my own family fur babies. I have a park nearby in a safe neighborhood so your fur baby will get lots of exercise. I am also available to watch them in your home if you prefer. I am currently working part time from home so I am conveniently available days, nights, weekends or whatever is needed to fit your busy schedule. I have a fenced small yard, plenty of areas to walk and play close by, and my house is clean, childproof and safe for pets.
“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.”
“Rikku was great! He got to know our cat Boots quickly and boots warmed right up to him. When we got home boots seemed happy and comfortable. Would recommend Rikku!”
“Rebecca did drop ins for our 2 cats while we were out of town and it was over the Christmas weekend, which was so so helpful. Rebecca was extremely communicative and gave us pics, a video, and updates on their eating and behavior through the weekend. I’m an anxious pet mom and I wasn’t worried at all while Rebecca was taking care of them and I was able to enjoy our weekend away. We’ll definitely ask Rebecca to sit for us again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs all my life from small spunky chihuahuas to heigh energy pointers. I’ve raised multiple puppies and have gone through puppy training classes with them so I am comfortable navigating the housetraining process if that’s where your pup is at. I’ve spent many years taking my dogs to dog parks where the behavior of other dogs can be unpredictable and I am comfortable managing difficult situations. I work full time but have a varied and flexible schedule. Happy to adjust around your schedule! I love an excuse to spend time outdoors and don’t mind going for a hike, playing, and running around with higher energy dogs so they can get the exercise and stimulation they need outside of the house. I’ve raised puppies and lived with small to large dogs throughout my life. I’m extra mindful of the things that puppies and high energy breeds can get into. I am willing to follow whatever routine works best for your dog!
“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.”
