Tessa was such a huge help today when, last minute, we needed someone to walk our Sella. Sella clearly took to Tessa immediately. We’ll definitely reach out to Tessa again- thanks Tessa!!

About: I’ve been surrounded by pets my entire life, my family has always had dogs and cats. I am a true animal lover, the kind who watched vet shows as a child and rescued any stray we came across. In 4th grade I was eager to start my own petting sitting business with my friend and I started officially pet sitting for the neighborhood when I was 10 years old. Since then I have worked professionally with pet sitting services as well as consistently providing freelance care to my community. I have experience administering medications, caring for special needs pets, senior pets, those with dietary restrictions, and even behavioral problems. I am eager to work with owners to provide the best care possible for your pet. The thing that sets me apart from other sitters is the amount of joy I get from being around your pets, I can promise that your pet will have my complete attention not only because I am a seasoned sitter but because there’s nothing I love more than being around animals! Pet care is currently my full time job, so I have daily availability to care for your pets! I am available for short term care such as walks or play-time as well as overnight stays and boarding. I make sure your pets have my full and complete attention while in my care. I am extremely mindful of the spaces I am in when caring for pets in my clients homes and am happy to water plants, check the mail, or do any other needed tasks to upkeep your house while you are away.

Abigail has watched my 2 dogs and other creatures. She is extremely responsible. My dogs adore her and look forward to spending time with her. She always gives them a lot of love and takes them for great hikes!! We live next to the river and mountains. My dogs love to get exercise and she sure provides it for them. I find that whatever directions I give her she follows them to a T. I have recommended her to my friends and they all love her! She’s an animal person for sure!!

Lauren was fantastic with our pups. She was patient, took time to let them warm up to her, and took them on great walks around our property. They were excited to see her every day and she was quick to communicate all details. Thank you Lauren!

We cannot say enough positive things about Roman! He is incredibly kind and responsive- We needed help with our senior yellow lab and had some unique needs for our pup and family while we were in the hospital with a newborn - Roman went above and beyond with kindness and flexibility to help our family in a crazy time, and was a true life saver! His love of animals is clear - we would recommend him to anyone and will absolutely ask for his help next time we need it.

I have 3 cats who Sarah often takes care of she has been taking care of my cats for the last few years. She is amazing! My cats adore her! She follows directions for feeding and medication amounts/times and always shows up on time for her scheduled visits. She treats my kitties like her own and gives them tons of attention, cuddles, playtime, and pets. She is also great at communicating with me and sending updates and pictures of the cats. I can’t recommend Sarah enough and will continue to have her visit my cats when I am away.

Jennifer has been taking care of our pups for years and I would not have anyone else I trust this much to do it! She is so in tune to dogs, reads the body language and has given us such good feedback that is above and beyond what she needs to do. We love that her dogs and son are so involved as it is so good for our pups.

Emerson is extremely good with dogs. she loves all animals and they seem to respond to her. She grew up in a home with more than one dog at any given time & has worked at a dog day care facility. She has been known to be called 'the dog whisperer", dogs can sense Emerson from across a street, they perk up and wag their tails unsolicited. Any dog owner would be lucky to book Emerson, she is kind, smart, trust worthy and reliable.

Mary walked my dog Willo (2 years, some puppy energy, 50lb) for three weeks while I was out of town. We had great communication the whole time and Mary was proactive about helping me keep Willo’s paws comfortable in the snow. We had a great experience with her and would book again!
