Chloe was great with our animals. She checked in with me after the first night and sent me a picture of Raina and Raina looked absolutely smitten with her. Warmed my heart. She treated my animals like they were her own. Despite this booking having a hiccup, she handled it professionally and communicated effectively. We will be booking with her again in the future. Thanks Chloe!

Emily was great with our Sugar. She dog sat for 3 days. She was punctual, cleanly, and sent a lot of photos. We will be rebooking for future trips.

Alex stayed at my home for four days to watch my small dog. She did a wonderful job and I came home to a clean house and a happy dog. I will ask her to come again.

One of our sweet fur babies recently received some bad news from our vet. This was our first time leaving him since his diagnosis, & I was so worried. Between that & my work schedule being so hectic, the lead up to our trip out of town was just a mess. Stephanie made everything SO much easier for us. Knowing she was caring for them while we were away put me totally at ease. She is kind, patient, communicative, & so very thoughtful. I loved getting updates and check-ins from her. Our cat has had a very poor appetite, & she went above and beyond to try to get him to eat—which means the world to me. It’s not always easy to find someone you can trust with your pets—especially if one of them is ill or takes medication—but Stephanie is the BEST!

Sue is a fantastic sitter for my dog Ellie. She lives very close to me and it is so convenient to have her here. She is wonderful with Ellie and takes her for lots of walks. The house is immaculate when I return.

We are so lucky to have Sally as our pet sitter! She takes amazing care of our cats and dog. She sends tons of pictures, she is very responsive, and she cheerfully goes along with all my little quirky OCD requests about pet care. We appreciate her and trust her in our home!

About: I have always had a strong passion for animals and have taken every opportunity to care for and support them. Over the years, I have provided reliable dog and cat sitting services, working with a variety of breeds and sizes. Growing up in a home that always included pets has given me a deep appreciation for animals and a natural ability to care for them with patience, attention, and love. I would love the opportunity to provide your furry companion with the love, care, and happiness they deserve. I have a very flexible schedule and am currently available at a variety of times. With clear communication regarding dates and times needed, I will be able to promptly confirm my availability and ensure I can meet your scheduling needs. Every animal is unique, and I tailor care routines to best fit each pet’s individual needs and schedule. I believe clear communication is key to creating the perfect care plan for your furry companion. I always prioritize dedicated playtime and, depending on the pet, provide walks and outdoor time to keep them happy and active. I am highly flexible and committed to meeting the specific needs of every animal in my care.

Clara house sat and watch our labradoodle for 5 days and did a fantastic job! Walter was happy and healthy when we arrived home and the house was in excellent condition. Several of our dog-loving neighbors got to know Clara and really liked them. We highly recommend Clara and have absolutely no reservations in hiring them again! :-)

About: I have taken care of dogs of all kinds just about all my life. My grandma takes care of dogs and I am always helping her out. I also have a job at The Woods Canine Resort and Spa where I tend to many dogs every day. I have a part-time job, so I have plenty of time in my schedule to take care of dogs. I am available during the week and weekends for boarding. I have a big open yard with plenty of room for your pets to run around and play. I also have room for a crate if needed. I want to make sure every dog is comfortable and given the best care with me.

About: I’ve been a lifelong animal lover and have cared for many dogs and cats over the years. While working at a boutique, I built strong relationships with customers and became a trusted, repeat sitter for their pets. I’ve also watched the pets of family and friends for years, giving me experience with a wide range of personalities, routines, and needs. Whether it’s a playful pup or a sweet, independent cat, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I work full time Monday through Friday from 8:30 to 5:30, but I have an hour long lunch break where I can quickly come home and tend to the pets making sure they get potty breaks and attention. During the weekends I am wide open to anything and can give my full time and attention to your pet! I kept my parents' labradoodles at my apartment for one year while their new home was being built. The labradoodles loved staying at the apartment. They had plenty of space to eat, play, and sleep. I of course will make sure to take your dog on quality long walks to ensure they are getting proper exercise while staying at the apartment. I also am experience in staying at the pet owners' home while I take care of their pets. I make sure to walk dogs, feed them according to the owners' instructions, and provide them with lots of love and affection.

What a godsend! We were hesitant to take a trip as our Benji has high anxiety but Meghann was an absolute gift! She took such great care of our pup and our home. She provided outstanding communication with updates and pictures that made our time away so much more relaxing. We couldn’t believe how Benji warmed up to her. She’s a whisperer! Our home was tidy and clean and she even came back and stayed with our Boy since our return was delayed. Five stars are not enough…. We will definitely book her again and again.

About: I have experience with senior dogs as I took care of my own senior dog while I was in high school, so I am aware of the unique love and care that they need and appreciate. I also love working with high energy dogs as my family dog back home Toby has unlimited energy for play, so I would love to help your dog get their fill while you’re away! I also now have a cat of my own (shout out James) and I absolutely love taking care of cats and their unique quirks! I would love to take care of your wonderful cat so they are comfortable and taken care of while you’re away from home! I am currently getting my master's in counseling, so I have plenty of time during the day outside of my few class times to make sure your pet is properly taken care for! I spoil my cat James! I have adjusted my balcony in my apartment to make sure he gets plenty of time to bird watch with me while I enjoy my morning coffee and book! Figuring out his unique personality and how to take care of him based on his needs was important, as he is very particular with the types of toys he likes! I also loved getting him a water fountain instead of a bowl to make sure James gets enough water! All that being said I want to make sure I spoil your dog or cat just as good as I care for my James!

Aaron was absolutely amazing caring for our 3 doggies for 9 days. We were super nervous to leave them, but Aaron made us feel stress free. He was super communicative with morning, afternoon, and nighttime check-ins with pictures and how they spent their days. He went above and beyond, even cleaning, washing the linens, and leaving a delicious blueberry breakfast treat. He was exceptional. Our dogs loved him and he will definitely be our go-to person from now on.

About: CAN NEGOTIATE AND MODIFY PRICE FOR SERVICES BASED ON LOCATION AND NEEDS! I have been raising dogs, cats, gerbils, etc. (you name it) for years. I am an animal lover of all sorts and very good with them as well. Whatever you ask me to do, I will do it and you and your pet will end up satisfied. I will make sure your pet has an awesome day/night, and return them safe and sound to you. I can bathe, brush, groom. I love to walk and give treats as well. Pick me! You will not be let down. * IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO DO AN IN PERSON MEET AND GREET, I WILL NEED TO CHARGE $8 FOR GAS. (I CAN TAKE CASH, VENMO, OR APPLE PAY) I work from home! So I can watch your fur babes pretty much 24/7. For dogs, I usually take them out three times a day. I take my dogs on several walks a day and to the park! I will do the same for yours, they will be able to play and get any energy out. I have a porch which I let the dogs go out on part of the day to get extra smells and fresh air
