“Thank you so much Amy! Harley was happy to see us when we arrived home, but was so happy you came to see him in the day. It was so reassuring knowing he was being taken care of while we were out.”


“Emily was phenomenal!! The photos and updates let me know my pets were well cared for. She was beyond patient with one cat that was pretty grumpy I was gone and I'm so thankful she was there to take care of them!”


“Thanks so much for taking care of my pups. It was a great piece of mind knowing they were well taken care of. I needed a last minute sitter and Savannah was great with the dogs and I would definitely recommend her services to anyone. We will be using her services for the future !! Thanks again !! 🥰”

“Emma did an amazing job watching our little pup this week! While we were out of town she stopped in every day, fed, watered, and walked Brodie. She went above and beyond showing him love and affection and even bought supplies and doctored him up when he injured himself while home alone. 10/10, we will absolutely be using Emma every time. Thanks Emma!”


“We have used Addie several times and my dogs love her. I never worry about them in her care. She makes sure they eat and do their business outside or gives them playtime inside if the weather is bad. She lets you know if they’re having a good or bad day and we trust her 100% with their care! She’s the best!”


“Carson did great!! She loved on our cats and made sure they were not only fed but having a good time without us there. She sent plenty of pictures of each of the cats so that we knew they were okay. 10/10 would hire her again”


“Lisa did an excellent job caring for my cats. She had no problem doing extra to make sure they were properly fed, watered, and make sure my security system was active while I was gone.”


“She did a wonderful job, taking care of my dog and she made sure he ate fed and walked him, and I would definitely recommend her for another trip if I ever needed it she’s an amazing person and very generous, and I definitely will be contacting her in case I need her again”


About: I've had pets my entire life, and have experience working with a professional trainer to train my own dog. I'm comfortable controlling larger dogs and I know how to ensure they stay safe and happy. I'm an online student and don't have many outside obligations, so my schedule and availability is extremely flexible. I love having an excuse to get outside and stay active! My current living situation doesn't allow for large pets, so my black lab, Levi, lives with my parents. I visit back and forth quite frequently to spend time with him. I take him on walks regularly, bathe him, and make sure he's happy and healthy.

About: I have a 4 year old female german shepherd with tons of energy, as well as a 4 year old male rescue cat. I’ve never not had a pet in the house and have experience in training puppies, to caring for senior pets and exotic animals in the zoo! As well as house sitting and pet watching for several years. I would love to spend the day with your pets so I’m very flexible with dates and times and can work to accommodate yalls schedule! I’m so happy to care for your pets in your home but cannot care for any more animals in my own home. Please let me know how I can best care for your pets and home!


“Lauren was incredible! I’m a crazy cat lady and kind of extra when it comes to my cats. Lauren followed all my instructions and sent me lots of pictures and videos. She will definitely be my go-to cat sitter from here on at. I’d definitely recommend her!”


“Emma did such a good job caring for our two cats while we were away. She sent detailed updates and photos after every visit so we always knew our babies were well cared for. One of our cats is very shy and usually hides from strangers, but she warmed up quickly to Emma. Emma kept the litter box area incredibly clean and also helped us out by watering our flowers and bringing in our mail. She was great! Highly recommend if you’re looking for a dependable, friendly cat sitter!”


About: I have had any kind of animal you can think of ever since I was a kid. I love all animals even the creepy crawlers and animals tend to love me! I have house sat for multiple neighbors and friends with dogs and cats! My daily routine consists of me taking care of animals, the commitment to our furry friends is one I completely understand and find joy in so if you cant be there I can! I have a yard at my home and take my dogs on daily walks and would do the same for your pup! I have also worked with crated dogs and reactive dogs as well! I will follow whatever guidelines and norms you and your dog are used too! Whatever is best for them!

“Ally was great! She was very attentive to my dog who is older with mobility issues and needs medication. She was great at communicating and took him on short walks. Always on time and spent a lot of time with him went above and beyond. Highly recommend!”


“Sarah took great care of my cat Sylvia while I was out of town! I enjoyed the pictures and updates she sent and was able to better enjoy my vacation knowing that Sylvia was getting some play time and attention while I was away. Sylvia was very happy when I returned.”
