Emily is the best pet sitter! She gave thorough report cards of her drop-in visits and the cutest pic updates of our two kitties. I can tell she truly loves pets and treated ours like she would her own. Will definitely hire her for any future pet sitting needs.

About: Hi there! ☺️ With over 10 years of experience caring for animals - both in-home and at professional facilities - I’ve pretty much seen it all (and loved every second of it)! I currently work at a luxury pet resort, where I’m lucky enough to pamper pups (and their human parents), and keep all kinds of furry friends happy and healthy. 🐾 I’ve also worked at a horse stable and have hands-on experience with senior dogs, cats, birds and even fish. I grew up with a lovable Maltese and stray cat, so I know just how important it is to treat every pet like family. Whether your fur baby needs cuddles, playtime, or just someone to keep them company, I’ve got things covered! 🐶🐠🐱🐴🐢 I work full-time at a luxury pet resort, but I’m available for pet care during early mornings, evenings, and weekends, with a flexible schedule to accommodate whatever you and your furry-friend's needs are! ☺️ My biggest priority is to make both you and your fur baby feel safe and well-cared for. This includes fostering an environment around your pet that is happy, calm and full of fun! With my many years of experience, you can always count on me to advocate for you and your pet's greatest needs!

Nicole did an incredible job! We were gone for two weeks in Italy and she gave us peace of mind that our two kitties were in great hands. She was attentive and communicative. We came home to two happy cats :) If you want to have someone of good character watch your precious little ones, Nicole should be your choice!

Cathy started caring for our black lab, Wendy, last week. She responded so quickly to my messages and was able to do a meet and greet within days of my first message to her! Our dog loves Cathy and it’s been going really well when Cathy comes to let her out at lunchtime. I would definitely recommend Cathy to care for your pet! She has a lab of her own and a lot of experience.

Carl did a wonderful job caring for our two cats! We think they were starting to prefer Carl to us! Even though he is a normally a "dog guy" he might just be a "cat guy" now too! Our cats are certainly in his fan club! It's so nice to know that we can travel knowing that this kind and careful man can care for our two cats Cappy and Dunky in our absence. Galen and Mary Crull

About: Currently, I have two cats. I've had a dog, but before that, I primarily had birds (parakeets), lizards (bearded dragons) and frogs (mostly bull frogs). I cat-sit on occassion for a friend and sibling. I also raise Monarch caterpillars in the summer and release the adults. I work full time outside the home but am home in the summer (teacher). I am available weekends and weekday evenings, with sufficient notice of weekday needs. I am usually available Friday evening through Sunday evening. I am looking to do drop-in pet care and dog boarding. I could board a small pet that resides in an enclosure in my home or a dog (or two dogs from the same household). Both my cats are comfortable with dogs but tend to keep to themselves. I have 2 children and 2 cats at home. It’s a one floor house. The yard is nice and big. I don’t have a fence but I do have a longer leash so the dogs can run a bit.

Sandy always takes such wonderful care of my Cora as if she was her own kitty. While I never like leaving Cora behind when I travel for work, I know she’s in great care with Sandy. She’s trustworthy, kind, and an all-around lovely person. I also highly value the peace of mind knowing Sandy is an experienced vet tech if anything were to ever happen. She’s the best!
