I am so grateful that Aurore checked in on my two cats while I was away! The photos and knowing they were safe and cared for were such a relief and I will absolutely reach out to Aurore again!

Danielle was great! I would highly recommend. My boarding place fell through last minute due to a scheduling mix up. I was able to book Danielle only a few days in advance. My dog, Nala, was so happy when I got home. You can tell she had lots of care and love! I always appreciate when people make connections with my animals. It makes the dress of leaving animals during travel a bit easier.

About: I’m a very responsible and loving pet owner. Have rescued many pets and now have found myself with some free time and would love to help new pets and people! With notice, I am completely free on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays & Sundays. (Monday, Tuesday & Friday I can be available for a few hours in the am) I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space to play and a kiddie pool to cool off in! I have three very friendly doggos myself but plenty of space so they can be kept separate if you desire.

Amanda was amazing with our two cats! She dropped in to check on them, feed them, clean the box, and give one of our cats medicine. She always stayed to play with them and she went above and beyond to clean up after them. They loved having her around!

About: I've grown up with animals my entire life and am very comfortable around them. I enjoy spending time with pets and making sure they get the attention they need! As my mom and sister own their own horses, I have been taking care of my family's dog and two cats while they are away and at shows. I am very careful about the safety of my family's pets, we have a fenced in yard for our dog, and I am very thorough when taking care of our chickens when closing them up for the night to protect them from predators.

Kendra was wonderful! Very responsive and took great care of our cats while we were away on fairly short notice. We loved all the pictures she sent each day and she even offered to scoop the litter box even though we had not asked her to do so. Thanks again, Kendra!

About: I've been around animals my whole life and currently have two pet goats who we spoil like dogs. We have 30 acres of beautiful land surrounded by woods, which is a perfect haven for running, fetch, and all sorts of outdoor shenanigans. I work remotely from home with a flexible schedule. I typically work a few hours in the morning, and then am outside working on projects and playing with the animals all day. We have a large property (about 30 acres) surrounded by woods with lots of room for your dog to run and explore. We also live near some great hiking trails.

Liz handled Daisy exceptionally well, even cleaning up after her when she had an accident. We can now leave Daisy with Liz next time, confident that she's in good hands. Despite Daisy not being well-socialized, Liz managed her wonderfully.

We enjoyed vacation much more knowing that Kaitlyn was taking very good care of our two fur babies (cats). Kaitlyn is very prompt, friendly and communicative. We enjoyed getting photos and updates while we were away. 10/10 would recommend Kaitlyn if you are looking for a sitter. We will definitely be rebooking in the future ??

About: I have lived with and taken care of at least two dogs of various sizes my entire life. Over the past few years I have dog sat and dog walked the pets of family/friends. Some of which had special accommodations such as meds or a strict schedule which was no problem at all! I love spending time with animals so let me bring my care and love to your pets to make your life easier! I am a recent college graduate looking for a full time job at the moment. Until I find that position, my schedule is as open as it needs to be to take good care of any pets. For my own pets, I share responsibility of all the basic needs of a pet; feeding, walking, giving attention, letting them out for the bathroom, etc.. For the pets of my client I provide all of those necessary services myself. I can dedicate any needed time and effort to ensure that the pet stays safe, healthy and active.

About: I have grown up with dogs and when adopting our most recent pup, Jax, I quickly realized he was a pup that required more than just a couple walks a day, so we got into running together daily. I offer dog running or walking and look forward to meeting your fur babe(s)! I am currently available Mondays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays for dog walks, runs and drop-in visits and pet sitting Saturday thru Monday. I currently have limited availability Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays but would be happy to discuss scheduling with you! I am very reliable and I will provide water and treats as needed. I will show up regardless of snow or inclement weather. We can customize walks or runs based on your preference of on vs off leash.

I am so grateful knowing Aurore is there to drop in on our dog when we aren't home. She's always on time, gives great updates, and was patient when our dog got scared in a storm. We love being able to trust Aurore and can't say thank you enough!
