“Gail has a natural ability to connect with animals and my cats responded to that very quickly. The reports on visits were always timely, and her communication is great. My cats were very calm and unstressed on my return, I would recommend her highly.”

“Chigozirim did a great job coming and taking care of my cat. She gave him lots of cuddles and did everything I asked. I would recommend her, if you need someone to drop in on your pet 😊”

About: Hi! I’m Ashley, I'm a lifelong dog lover who’s excited to help care for your pup. I work from home two days a week and offer loving, dependable care whether your dog needs companionship, walks, or just someone to check in while you’re away. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities — from high-energy puppies to chill senior dogs — and I always take time to learn what makes each one happiest. Whether it’s belly rubs, structured walks, or cozy couch naps, I’ll match your dog’s vibe. I pride myself on keeping a calm, safe space with plenty of attention when I’m home. When I’m out, I make sure they’re secure, comfortable, and on their routine. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pup is doing! Let’s schedule a meet-and-greet — I’d love to connect and learn about your dog’s unique needs. I currently work from home two days a week, which allows for extra attention, potty breaks, and companionship during the day. On the other three in-office days, I’m available for early morning, evening, and overnight care depending on your needs. I’m also fully available on weekends, making me a great option for weekend getaways, dog walking, or extended care. No matter the schedule, I’ll always keep your pet's routine in mind and provide updates to give you peace of mind. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I take every precaution to ensure they are secure, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. I never leave pets unattended in unsecured spaces — whether indoors, in a yard, or during walks. I always use leashes, double-check gates and doors, and follow any safety instructions or routines you provide. I treat every pet like they’re my own and respect the trust you place in me to care for them. You can count on me for reliable, attentive care and regular updates, so you always know your pet is in safe hands.
“Olivia was above amazing. My cats took to her right away and usually it takes them some time. She stayed with them, gave them treats, fed them, scooped their litter and even cleaned up the litter area. She sent pictures (which I loved) and told me how they were acting everyday. Highly recommend Olivia for any pet owner.”

About: I’ve owned chinchillas for 15 years. I had childhood dogs growing up. I’ve also house sat for friends and dog sat at my home. I have also taken care of friends cats. I work full time as a mail carrier, but I’m usually off by 2 or 3 on the days I work. I can always let the animal out before work and take for a walk after work. I am off on Wednesdays and Sundays. My chinchillas are in their own bedroom. But I have space to crate your dog if needed. I can shut my chinchillas bedroom door to keep them away.
“Such a wonderful sitter and was able to help out with many last minute changes! I’d recommend her to anyone who’s looking to ensure your animal is in a safe home with someone who loves and cares for animals from their heart:)”

“Kat is absolutely the best! She watched my kitties for a week and did an awesome job! How do I know? I know when I return from a trip and my cats walk casually up to me like saying “oh, are u back?” That they received excellent care and are very happy. I have returned from trips and the cats run at me with wild eyes so I knew they were well loved. Kat sends pics and updates every day which I loved. I felt so good knowing my babies were with someone that truly loves cats/animals.”

About: Hello! My name is Jennifer! I used to go to animal shelters and volunteer in the cat houses and then switch off to walk dogs to help them get the exercise they need. Having used to work at a Petsmart and a doggy daycare, I have experience with dog handling from the trainers and lots of experience keeping dogs entertained while their parents looked around for their next squeaky toy and treats! I have house sat many times for people with cats and dogs for either days or weeks at a time. I would be a fun and bubbly personality to hang out with your animals for a little bit to take them on walks around the block, the park, or wherever you want your pets to see! I have several years of reliable pet care experience. I work full time but am able to take animals out with me while I am at work! My wife and I have our evenings free to take care of and love your animals! I am very flexible and trustworthy in the pet parent’s homes. I do have other animals, so it’s important that if I care in home, that they are okay with other animals!. Other than that, I have a dog who LOVES to play with other dogs!
“Katie did a fantastic job watching our two cats over the holidays! She communicated super well with us when our water fountain wasn’t working and kept our cats happy and healthy! Thank you Katie!”


About: Bookings will be considered on a case-by-case basis, I have had some trouble with the app and calendar so, we can talk about it! 🌞 Im a very caring responsible person who loves all animals. I am a non-smoker, active, trustworthy. I'd love to help care for your home and /or animals while you are away. I am not limited to dogs and cats, I have experience in almost all animals (not cows) :) I also enjoy reptiles, amphibians, birds and any other things you need taken care of. Bad weather is never a deterrent. I also enjoy cleaning and organizing. In my spare time, I enjoy walking and wildlife photography for fun. Please message me with any questions you may have, I look forward to speaking with you. I would prefer to stay north of the river. All offers will be considered on a case by case basis. I'm retired so I have an open schedule. I end my day around 9pm, but can start very early. I will do my best to accommodate your pet's needs while you're away. Complete safety is my #1 concern when caring for someone else's pet. A written page with your pet's nicknames, favorite things, special requests, potty and feeding times etc is great!

“Devina is an attentive, caring and patient pet sitter. We have an old Pitbull who has extreme anxiety and separation issues. We had never used a pet sitter as our dog would never let anyone in the house without us here. We have used Devina multiple times the last week and she has already developed a trusting relationship with our dog. We highly recommend Devina!”

“I've used Michaela for years now and and not only do I trust her with my 4 cats, but my house as well. This last trip took 10 days and not only did she come in and feed, water, clean litter boxes, but also brought them new toys and treats, and made sure my house was presentable for prospective buyers.”

“What a relief...so glad we had Gabby. Was happy not worry about my furbaby while out of town!! Gabby was a excellent pet sitter for my cat-She fed and comforted him until we returned. Followed all requests and instructions...will definately have her watch over him each time we leave town!”
