“Savannah was SO amazing! I would use her again, and again, and again. My kitty loves attention, and she gave her all the attention she needed, she warmed right up to her, which I was so thankful for. She took care of my kitty, and spoiled her just like I would ❤️ So glad I found Savannah to help us during our vacation!”
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals since I was around 12 years old. I started with watching animals in my neighborhood and have started staying at houses while families are on vacation. I’m currently in school and my class times make me available for most of the day, so I can spend a lot of time with your pets! I’m available to pet sit overnight any day of the week. I have a flexible schedule, so I can make any routine for your animals work! I love all animals so they will get a lot of love while you’re away.
“Mako did a great job caring for our two cats and two guinea pigs! She was very diligent and took notes during our meet and greet as not to forget anything. She was very communicative and we didn’t have any worries about our pets while we were gone. We will definitely book her again in the future!”
“We’ve hired Dani to help with social training and my boys just LOVE her. They can’t wait for her to come over and play with them. Dani has been reliable and consistent and extremely patient with my stubborn boy Choco. Thanks for loving our boys Dani!”
“Rebekah did a great job dropping in on our pups while we were away! They loved her as soon as they met her! She is very responsible and trustworthy! We will definitely use her again when traveling!”
“Mollie is fantastic and I would recommend to anyone that she was absolutely perfect for my Chow Chow! Mollie, thank you so much and I will definitely use you next time!”
“Savannah is amazing! Friendly, kind, reliable, and most importantly, our dog Thor really loves her and was happy to see her on daily visits while I was out of town. We feel very fortunate that we found her, and hope to book with her for any future pet sitting needs.”
About: I have taken care of plenty of dogs and cats before. Whether of mine or a family/friends. I just recently learned how to raise our first puppy (the Chow Chow). I have experiences with other animals such as Hedgehogs and Iguanas. I have a full time job working for an Autism/Special Needs Clinic as an RBT. I typically work till 3:30 but the clinic doesn't close till 5. I have a fenced in yard with two fur babies. I will play with them outside or inside. I love all animals and will treat your fur babies as I would treat my own.
About: I have had pets all my life. In high school I started volunteering at an animal rescue shelter. I have been involved with animals in some capacity ever since. I am currently unemployed so I have all the time in the world to take care of your pets! I am happy to talk about what car is needed and will work with you to make sure they get the care they need I do not offer to take care of animals in my home as I have two cats and a wife that works from home occasionally. However I am happy to take care of them in yours
“Jennifer was so kind and caring. She was dependable and communicated in a reliable and consistent manner. Her love for animals is apparent Our furry family looks forward to seeing her again!”
“Callie was wonderful! Her communication is amazing and made sure to keep us updated on our Rottweiler while we were away. I love that she provided us with so many pictures during her check ins. I would 100% recommend her and would work with her again. Your furry friends are in great hands with Callie!”
About: I have had dogs all my life and cats growing up. Currently have 3 dogs of my own. I often take care of friend's cat's while they are away. I work Monday through Friday 8-430 but have time and breaks to drop in before, during and after work. I am generally free on weekends also. I will stop by and do the required/requested pet tending to tasks. Feed, water, play. Whatever is needed. Empty little boxes and/or walk dogs.
“Nyah was on time and took great care of our dog squad. She must have tired them out pretty good because when I got home they were happy but not the usual spastic insane maniacs that I expected. I will look for her next I need a Rover.”

About: I’m extremely passionate about animals and animal care! I’m the designated animal lover and pet sitter for all my friends and family! I love each unique personality I meet! I’m currently working part time as a waitress as well as in college but my free days are completely for your animals! There’s nothing I’d rather do on off days than meet your fur babies!

I have experience with snakes, lizards, birds, hamsters, cats, dogs, fish, rabbits.. pretty much any animal you can name!
About: I have 15+ years of experience caring for cats and dogs of all breeds and personalities. As a former AKC conformation and lure coursing competitor, I’m confident handling everything from playful puppies to shy or reactive pets. I share my home with four cats, including rescues, so I understand animals with unique needs. I offer calm, patient, and reliable care—no breed or size restrictions, just a focus on safety, trust, and comfort. Most pets, if asked, would prefer to stay home rather than go to a boarding kennel while you are gone. They are in their own home, eating their familiar food from their regular bowl, playing in their own yard, sleeping on their favorite bed or couch. My goal as a pet sitter is to keep your pet healthy, happy, and safe so you can enjoy your time away from home. I visit your home at least twice a day, feeding, checking water bowls, petting and loving, supervising exercise and play time, and handing out treats. I am especially good with senior dogs and have experience getting even difficult dogs to take medications. I also do things like collect mail or newspapers and turn lights on and off so that it looks like someone is around. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I currently work part-time and attend classes two nights a week, which gives me plenty of flexibility for daytime visits, walks, and overnight care. I plan my schedule around each pet’s needs, making sure they get consistent attention, exercise, and affection. Caring for animals is one of the best parts of my week—it’s grounding, rewarding, and something I truly enjoy. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and relaxed by maintaining their normal routines. In your home, I follow your feeding, walking, and playtime schedules closely and keep things calm for shy or anxious pets. In my home, animals have a quiet, supervised space, enrichment toys, and plenty of affection. Whether it’s medication, training, or extra snuggles, I tailor care to each pet’s personality and needs.
