“Jackie stayed the night with both of our larger dogs on a holiday. Her communication was fantastic and she was also happy to meet the dogs before officially scheduling the stay. Would book again!”

“Judith treated our pup, Rayne, with all the attention she has been craving since our son was born! She also treated our elusive outdoor cat and many plants with the utmost care. We will definitely rebook Judith if she is available the next time we need a house sitter for our fur and plant babies!!”

About: Hi! I'm Lee. I've cared for animals for over 20 years, including three dogs of my own, and I've been pet sitting for friends, family, and others for the past four years. I love both cats and dogs and enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality. Whether they're playful or cuddly, I focus on helping them feel comfortable and cared for. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and happy while you're away. Every pet receives patience, attention, and plenty of affection. Pet sitting fits into my schedule very naturally because I have a flexible work life as a hairstylist. My days are usually built around client appointments, which allows me to open time for pet care in between services, early mornings, evenings, and sometimes full days when I’m not booked. On lighter workdays, I can take on drop-in visits, walks, and check-ins throughout the day. On slower days or weekends, I’m available for longer care or overnight stays. I plan my schedule carefully so I can give each pet my full attention, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for without rushing their time with me. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure they are always safe, comfortable, and on a consistent routine. I always provide fresh, clean water throughout the day so pets stay hydrated. For feeding, I keep a structured schedule so they know what to expect—breakfast is served no later than 8:00 AM and dinner is served no later than 6:00 PM, unless the owner provides a different routine. For dogs, I always make sure they are securely on a leash or harness before they step outside. Their safety is my top priority, and I stay alert to make sure they don’t get into anything dangerous, such as trash, bones, or anything on the ground that could harm them. Inside the home, I maintain a pet-friendly environment by keeping an eye on their behavior and making sure they stay away from hazards like electrical wires or anything they could chew or swallow. I also make sure they have a safe space where they can play, relax, and move around comfortably without risk. My goal is always to create a calm, safe environment where pets feel secure, cared for, and at ease while their owners are away.
“My two dogs are everything to me. They are my babies and I usually have a family member take care of them. There was an emergency that I had to get someone else asap. I’m so happy I trusted Nafisa, my boys loved her. She was in communication with me while I was traveling and it made me feel less worried. She’s amazing!!”


About: My mother had a boarding company so I spent a lot of my childhood helping care for all the doggos. I have also volunteered at numerous shelters & farm sanctuaries & have helped care for even more than just cats & dogs. I also have an 8 year old chocolate lab & 2 five year old kitties myself that I love & care for every day. I am currently working part time, with availability anytime after 4 pm Monday through Thursday! In the next 3 weeks my availability will open up a little bit more! I was raised around both cats & dogs & have a very good understanding of how to read both animals. I have a very soft calm aura as well as a lot of love & patience to build trust with the fur babies.
“Haley was by far the best pet sitter we’ve had. Everything was from start to finish seamless. Looking forward to the future bookings we have planned. Thank you for everything Haley.”

“We just moved across the US. We had to go back to our state for nine days. I had a greater peace of mind with Jessica watching our dogs. Very thankful. She sent pictures FaceTime a couple times. To say hi to our babies. I enjoyed the experience. I would hire her again. Kogi and Gus enjoyed her.”

We are so grateful to Callie for the amazing care she gave our dog on our wedding day. She was incredibly kind, attentive, and caring the entire time. Knowing our dog was in such good hands gave us so much peace of mind during such an important day for us. She was always attentive, patient, and very professional. She truly helped make our day feel less stressful and even more special. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone and would trust her again without hesitation! 🐾

We couldn't ask for a better sitter for our pets! Elisabeth is so communicative, with lots of updates and pictures. You can tell she genuinely enjoys spending time with animals and both our cat and dog were so comfortable and happy with her. She even handmade a toy for our cat which she still loves playing with, how sweet!

Allyson was wonderful to work with. She took very good care of all of my fur babies. She was prompt in responding, sent us pictures daily, was flexible in her schedule to be able to stick to my pups routine, & kept the house. All of our babies were happy and calm when we returned. So happy with the results & will definitely be using her again! Thank you Allyson!

Karen was so wonderful!!!!! Took excellent care of my three cats, dog, and axolotl for a whole week. She kept in touch with me about how they were doing, and even gave me some extra water/food containers for them! When my flight home got delayed, she was willing to stay and take care of the animals for me for an extra day, even though she didn't have to. 10/10 thank you so much, Karen <3

Kayla was a wonderful choice for our two girls Paloma and Ivy. She is kind, thoughtful and detail oriented. She paid close attention to our instructions for our pups and taking care of our fish! We would not hesitate to have her back for another sit and you should not hesitate either!
