About: Hi! I’m Lucy, and I specialize in gentle, stress-free care for cats and small dogs — with a calm, attentive approach your pets will love. My journey with cats began in 2004 when my family and I found a mother cat and her kittens in our yard. Since then, I’ve personally cared for cats of all ages and personalities — playful, shy, independent, and cuddly. I’ve also grown up with dogs since I was born, and I enjoy offering the same level of thoughtful, loving care to pups with calm temperaments. Whether it’s a cat curled in a sunny spot or a little dog who needs quiet companionship, I create a safe, peaceful environment for them to feel secure and happy. 🐾 What I offer: Drop-in visits with feeding, litter box/potty care, gentle play, and affection Calm, respectful care with no large or high-energy dogs Medication administration (if needed) Daily updates and photos Extra love for seniors, kittens, or special-needs pets I’m patient, reliable, and committed to keeping your pets' routines as close to normal as possible while you’re away — because they’re not just pets, they’re family. Let’s chat! I’d love to learn more about your furry companions. 🐾 I'm available for drop-in visits between 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM, Monday through Friday, and also offer weekend availability upon request — perfect for mid-day feeding, litter box or potty care, and quality companionship. Whether your cat is independent or affectionate — or your small dog is calm and cuddly — I tailor each visit to their unique personality and needs. I'm a reliable, gentle sitter with a calm presence and lots of love to give. Need a sitter during your workday or a short weekend trip? I'd be happy to care for your cat or small dog while you're away. I prioritize creating a calm, secure environment during every visit. By carefully following care instructions and maintaining your cat’s — or small dog’s — routine, I help reduce stress and keep them comfortable in their familiar space. My hands-on experience with cats since 2004, and a lifetime around small dogs, has given me a deep understanding of their behavior and emotional cues. I respond with sensitivity, respect, and reliability to ensure every pet feels at ease. I believe trust begins with clear, consistent communication — that’s why I always provide honest updates and photos to give you peace of mind while you're away. Every animal is different, and I tailor my care to their individual personality and needs, ensuring they feel safe, seen, and well-loved in your absence.

“Courtney did an amazing job taking care of my 16 year old cat and I HIGHLY recommend her as a pet sitter! My usual sitter was busy so decided to give Courtney a try and she easily exceeded my expectations. She administered my cats medication daily, kept to the agreed upon scheduled visits, and sent photos/videos of her, but more importantly made sure to call me when she had some issues with her food. Courtney made several extra visits to ensure my cat was alright and when my trip got extended she was flexible enough with her schedule to fit my cat in. I'll definitely be using her again to take care of my cat on any future trips!”

About: I have owned pets my whole life. Caring for some that needed medications and extra level of care. When parents leave and pets are left behind, some tend to develop separation anxiety. I would be that person who helps those pets to stay calm and know someone is with them. I care for those that also have a lot of energy. Playing in the parks and running, playing fetch. My days are better when I see their smiley faces. I am available anytime in the week and weekends. Holidays vary, depending on family vacation. I don’t work full time right now. so let's set up a meet and greet; this will help identify if I'm a great fit for your pet's schedule. I do go to church on Sunday from 11 am to 1pm. I have three chihuahuas and I feed them at 7 am then we walk for 30 minutes and another meal at 5pm to 7pm every day. Baths once a week and grooming as well. I also used to pet sit for other friends and family so I do have some experience.

“Suzanne’s very kind and gave lots of pictures and information about my sweet boy. He is definitely a wild puppy and she spent time with him and cared for him well. I felt confident leaving him in her care and will book again for sure!”

Let’s make their tail wag together! As a reservist Army service member, I follow a structured schedule, which actually helps me stay organized and consistent in providing top-quality pet care. I typically start my days early and have time in the afternoons and evenings—perfect for walks, feedings, playtime, or drop-in visits. My weekends are more flexible, allowing me to do extended stays or longer visits when needed. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine closely—feeding, walks, playtime, and meds—so they feel safe and stress-free. I keep your space clean and give them my full attention. If they stay with me, I provide a calm, loving environment where they’re treated like family with plenty of play, cuddles, and care.

“Jasmine B. was a life saver for my 2 labs and my 2 cars. One of my Labs has anxiety and needs someone to love on him daily. Jasmine was so kind and loving yo all my babies. She sent me pictures and I could see their tails wagging and they were calm and content. I will use Jasmine again.”


About: I bond with just about any animals. I love dogs cats birds fish and many other animals. What would this world be without them? You can count on me to take care of your fire babies I currently work part time and I and off Tues wens Thurs and Friday. I can do some occasional Saturday’s and sundays if needed. I am your girl for the job. I feed them and walk them to get exercise. I also spend time playing with them because they are almost human like me. They have feelings too!

About: Leaving your beloved companion home while you’re at work or travelling is hard enough; finding a trustworthy pet sitter shouldn’t be. I welcome all breeds, and all shapes and sizes. I will ensure that your pet's health and happiness is my top priority. Not only am I caring for your valued family member(s), but I also strive to be an extension of you and your family. I will always be professional, I am also very knowledgeable when it comes to farm and domestic pets, I am also able to handle emergencies should they arise. Your pets comfort is of utmost importance to me. I understand that you could also be facing hectic schedules and long commutes—or even a pet who’s dealing with separation anxiety—I am here to ensure your pets’ health and happiness. If it is for a walk, day stay or night stay, they will get all the love and care they need and deserve. Pet care is part of my every day life, night and day, 24-7. I am available most days and times. I offer in home care, daytime and night time. Pets can explore, run, play and enjoy the nature on our farm. I have well over 30 years of pet experience, which includes everything from farm animals to all types of indoor pets as well. From domesticated to not so domesticated. I have assisted in births, bottle babies from day one, provided grooming, training, hospice and medical care throughout the years. We have also been a safe landing spot for pets in need of emergency care, an overnight stay, or until they land their furever home. We are also foster failures as well, which I am very proud of. Pets are not just a "project or job", they are truly my passion. Part of my day includes carving out special time to have one on one time with each pet. It is important to me that each pet knows that they are loved, seen, heard and should never want for anything. Knowing the signs of each of their individual needs and wants are so important to a happy and healthy pet. It is also super important to make sure that cleanliness is at the top of the list as well, this avoids any potential health issues that could stem from not keep things in tip top shape. Compassion, clarity, and consistency are also important elements of pet care. I am a mom of adult children, dogs, cats, donkeys and an Emu and an occasional rescue or sanctuary pet that will come through our farm, small and large! They are all super spoiled with love and care. The pets that come into our home are treated like family, their care and comfort are super important to me. I also want their owners to know and understand that their pets will be left in compassionate, caring, knowledgeable, and humane hands. My home is very clean, and I take all precautions to ensure that your pet is kept in a clean, climate controlled and pet safe environment. Pets can get out of sorts if they are deprived of adequate social interaction, love and care, so I will often let them “chat” and play with other dogs here at home. A happy pet’s life is not one long series of commands: I let them live a little, make choices, and take their time. Animals are very sensitive and can become easily frightened, so I speak softly to the pets. I am also able to provide them their own special place to dash into when they want to be alone or have some quiet time. I will also provide updates and photos as well, I can be your pets own personal paparazzi, providing you with updates and photos and videos.
