About: I’ve worked in animal care for years now and have taken care of my own pets for years before that. I have experience with a huge variety of sizes and breeds! I’m well versed in animal behavior and temperaments. I’ve worked with puppies all the way up to senior pets who may need a little extra care or attention. I have my own pets as well and have a deep understanding how much they can mean to us. I’m currently working on my certificate for dog grooming! I have yet to start school but this is a dream I’ve had for a while now. At the moment, I’m almost completely open for sitting. I think enrichment is very important for pets. For dogs, getting outside is a must. Many breeds require a lot of stimulation throughout the day in order to stay healthy in mind and body alike. For cats, some are independent players and toys are a must. Others may like to play with a person and that’s an activity that’s very important for them. I personally feed my animals once in the morning, once at night. My dog typically gets at least one walk a day and I make sure to take him out 2-3 times a day for potty breaks. Or even more if he lets me know he has to go. My one cat is an independent player so I leave her toys in her favorite places.

Phoebe was great to stop in several times a day to make sure my elderly fur babies were taken care of. My animals are a bit quirky she kept them happy 😊

Jodi was the best pet sitter I’ve ever had. She understands dogs incredibly well and went above and beyond, loving my dogs as if they were her own. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in her care. I’ll absolutely be booking Jodi again the next time we’re out of town.

Could not have asked for a better first time experience with Erin. Super communicative. Was willing to adjust to changing pet care instructions and visitation schedules. And reasonable value for what we needed (bearded dragon care). All in all, I would highly recommend Erin and we’ll definitely be using her services again!

Milo and Buddy were well-cared for and happy to see Balbina at every visit. We especially loved the little song she composed for their last visit (even though they both look unimpressed in the video, they really secretly loved it!). Balbina will be our first choice next time we need her help!

Lauchlan was flexible & prompt with her drop in visits. She was very attentive to my concerns with my cat while I was away. She kept me informed while I was away and tried engaging my cat with activity. My cat is cautious with strangers, but Lauchlan played with her and was very determined to establish a connection with her, even laying on the floor. Lauchlan knows the signs a pet will show when they are feeling stressed / anxiety, which I was concerned about. She kept me informed of her overall well being while I was gone, which made me feel good! I had only booked 3 days of visits, but Lauchlan was developing a connection with her. I would highly recommend Lauchlan and will definitely reach out to her again if I'm in the need of a sitter! Little Momma & I Thank you for your caring visits!

Angel was such a patient, kind, and caring sitter! We just recently moved to the area and our cat is still getting used to our new apartment. Even though she has been a bit shy, Angel spent time just sitting near her and making sure she felt safe and was cared for while we were away. He sent us frequent updates so we weren't worried and was a great communicator. We will definitely book with Angel again in the future!

About: I am reliable, attentive, and genuinely love animals. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away, and I always follow routines and instructions closely. I am currently at home for the summer from college and pet care fits easily into my routine, allowing me to provide consistent attention, exercise, feeding, and companionship throughout the day! I care for pets by following their normal routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, and cleaning up after them. I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for whether I’m in my home or my client’s home, and I always respect specific instructions provided by the owner.

About: Hi, my name is Maddie, I’ve been caring of animals for as long as I can remember! I have watched friends and families dogs over the last several years, as well as taking care of my own dogs and cats since I was little. I am constantly around animals and dedicated to making sure that every animal feels comfortable, safe, and loved and I understand that every animal has a unique personality and routine ☺️ With my current job, I have a lot of flexibility. My shifts are primarily on weekend nights, giving me availability during the weekdays from morning to evening and I often have weekend availability during the daytime. I am comfortable with adhering to their needs and overcoming any challenges that may arise. I will provide a comfortable, safe environment for you and your pets.

About: I loved animals all my life! I have fostered and adopted cats and dogs for over 10 years. I work from home and I am in tune with my animals and understand their needs. I have a two story home about 2300 square feet and a half acre fenced in yard for activities. Your pet will be welcome as an honorary member to my pack. For the privacy and safety of my family and the pets in my care, I do not offer tours inside my home. I am happy to provide photos, videos, and answer any questions before booking. Communication & Updates I know how important it is to feel connected while you’re away. I provide a daily update with photos each evening (typically between 5–9 PM) so you can see how your dog’s day went. If you’d ever like a quick check-in during the day, you’re always welcome to message me and I’ll respond as soon as I’m available. Because I focus on hands-on care for the dogs in my home, updates are typically sent once daily rather than throughout the entire day. I currently work from home and have a pretty flexible schedule in order to meet pet care needs. If you have a specific schedule, please include it in your reservation so I can accommodate your best needs. I have a large fenced in yard, great for a high energy pack. I can also crate your dog, and I am very accommodating to their normal routine. *I secure each dog for feeding due to allergies and/or medications. *Important to also note, I will have to secure animals while I am performing another meet and greet or if an animal is arriving/departing from my home. *Please show proof of vaccination records and preventative medications like flea, tick, and heartworm before boarding. For the privacy and safety of my family and the pets in my care, I do not offer tours inside my home. I am happy to provide photos, videos, and answer any questions before booking.

About: I have 6+ years in experience with dogs/cats. I have watched puppies up to elderly dogs that need some more care. Here to be your best friend’s, best friend while you’re away. I am a 24 year old full time college student. I currently living on my own. My schedule is pretty flexible and I am willing to work early mornings/ late nights. I have always had a passion for taking care of people and animals. My partner is a veterinarian technician and since being with them, my love for animals has only grown deeper. My dream one day is to have a shelter or a safe haven for dogs/ cats who don’t have homes yet. I have experience with special schedules for feeding or sleeping.

Sandra has walked our boys twice now and her service is top-notch. After our meet and greet in person with the pups, you could tell she takes a gentle, confident approach with all dogs. The two visits with our boys has been excellent. I would highly recommend Sandra to everyone.

Erin is great. One of the cats gets anxious when we leave and had a couple of accidents outside the litter box. Erin was so kind and understanding. She is the best. I feel so at ease watching my babies. I would highly recommend Erin.

I needed a last-minute drop-in visit for my rabbits while I was out of town, and she was able to help on very short notice. She communicated well, checked on my pets promptly, and made sure they had what they needed. I really appreciated her flexibility and willingness to help when I was feeling worried. I would definitely book with her again!
