“Excellent provider! She was great with our dogs! And she was patient with our little guy who’s terrified of strangers and often acts out. We will definitely hire her again!”


About: {Please note I have removed Housesitting from my services through 2025 for a health recovery. Thank you for understanding! ❤️🩹🐶} I have been Petsitting and housesitting for friends and family for more than 25 years, so I figured, why not make new friends and continue the tradition? It’s one of my greatest joys in life, getting to know and play with new puppers and their people!! I’ve cared for many types and breeds of dogs, cats, and exotic animals (snakes, tortoises, lizards, turtles, tarantulas, exotic fish, chickens, etc.) and all types of pet personalities - shy, rambunctious, skittish, lazy, grouchy, energetic, and everything in-between. From trained purebreds to rescues who have been abused or neglected and need special attention, I have worked with and enjoyed them all. I’ve administered meds, cared for sick pups and kitties, and taken my charges to the vet when needed. I could be trained to care for your pigs, goats, sheep, horses, etc. I travel a good deal and understand the importance of being able to have your non-human child well looked after and not have to worry about them while you’re out of town, or even if you’re just at work. I work remotely, so your pet gets potty breaks often, and they have a human around almost all the time. We go for small walks around a delightful neighborhood when desired, or longer walks/hikes on nearby trails if the bigger pups are game. There are no off-limits areas in our house- my pug Napoleon slept *under the covers* in the big bed he believed he owned - but if you have different rules, they will be enforced as dictated. Any other questions, please don’t hesitate to ask! I am excited to meet you - and your human friends ;)! Working remotely from my home office provides plenty of opportunity for potty breaks and puppy love in-between client interactions on the phone. It also allows me to stay full-time in your home with your pets if overnight sits are your preference. All that is needed is a strong internet connection and a comfortable, quiet place in your home to work. I have a gated yard in the front but can take little pups on-leash if there’s any concern. There’s also a small potty area in the back yard with a full fence for off-leash outside time. I can accommodate a small crate in my home, if desired. For overnights in your home, an initial meet-n-greet will be required prior to the first engagement to ensure everyone’s comfort and safety.

“Matilda was absolutely wonderful! She always sent me daily photos of my kitty and assured me she was well taken care of. I can’t recommend her enough!”


“Tylan and Ingrid are amazing. They go above and beyond to care for your pets and genuinely want to be with them. Amazing photos and updates every visit like clockwork gives you something to look forward to everyday and puts your mind at ease. One of our cats got pretty sick before having to leave for a work trip and I was very upset about having to leave him for a week. Tylan and Ingrid took such great care of him and gave me medical updates the whole time through just in case I might have to fly home to him. Couldn’t recommend them enough and look forward to hiring them again ❤️❤️❤️.”


“Tobias was very attentive and made sure my dog had all of his needs taken care of during his drop in visits over the weekend. He was also very informative during his visits. My dog is 14 years old and he also did a great job administering all of his meds. I definitely recommend Tobias!”


“I adopted my dog fairly recently so I was nervous about leaving her with someone else for the weekend, but Megan was extremely attentive and made me feel comfortable on day 1! She was wonderful about providing updates and asking about details I hadn't even considered. I have a cat as well and I could tell they were both very fond of her by the end of the weekend. I would definitely recommend Megan to anybody looking for a petsitter.”



“We met Minori when she was dog sitting for my in-laws. They were repeat clients and loved her. JoJo Miles didn't take long to warm up to Minori at all!”


“Jacob has been wonderfully patient dealing with our anxious pups and letting them take the time to get comfortable with him. Gives updates and photos and communication is streamlined. We needed a confident and calm person to check in on our dogs on a regular basis when we are at work and so far Jake has done an excellent job!”

About: Hi, I’m Cassie! I’ve been pet sitting for over 4 years and have experience with animals of all ages from playful puppies to sweet senior pets who need a little extra care. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family, and I always treat every pet like they’re my own.

Looking forward to meeting you and your fur baby! Pet care fits easily into my routine! I work morning shifts at Starbucks and am usually home between 2–4 PM, which gives me plenty of time in the afternoons and evenings for walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays.

I also make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise, and I keep owners updated with regular photos and messages for peace of mind.

She is responsive to texts and calls and was always very communicative. She is very conscientious and attuned to her surroundings. I couldn’t recommend her enough! Your pet will be in great hands.”


Alahna M.

There were times when my work schedule got in the way and Alahna stepped in to take care of my dog with little notice. Highly recommended!”

James E.
“Will is a fantastic, responsible, kind, and gentle pet sitter. He watched our cat for 10 days and was professional and communicative through it all. It made us so happy and comforted to receive pictures throughout our time away, and we were confident our cat was in good hands. Will even went above and beyond and cleaned up the cat hair that had accumulated in our living room before we returned; unnecessary but so so appreciated! I highly recommend Will for everyone's pet sitting needs.”


William S.
“We lucked out. William was the best person we could have found to care for our dog Ruby (who would much rather be home than at a boarding place). Ruby loved him right away—a good sign. He was happy to play with her, walk her, spend hours hanging out with her and keeping her company. He sent photos and videos. We trusted him fully and knew Ruby was well cared for. He’s our go-to guy when we head out of town.”


Kimberly R.

“My cats clearly had a good visit with Kimberly! The pictures were very much appreciated. Highly recommend and look forward to booking with her again. ?”
