“Kathleen was able to come check on my pup without tons of notice and she was absolutely incredible. So communicative, loved on the pup and took the cutest photos of him. Would totally recommend her and will absolutely use Kathleen again !”


“I recently hired LaShell as a dog sitter, and I couldn't be more pleased! She showed genuine care for my dog, LaShell engaged my pup with fun activities and ensured Puggo returned home happy. Her flexibility and professionalism were impressive. I highly recommend LaShell for anyone seeking a reliable and loving dog sitter!”


“We loved having Amanda check-in on our cat, Finnegan. She was responsive and considerate, as well as super punctual. We sprung for extra time and felt it was worth every penny. It was awesome knowing that our boy had someone to hang out and play with during our trip, who was also attuned to his cues. Our home was as we left it when we came back and Finnegan is super happy! Can’t wait to book with Amanda again!”

About: I have experience with walking/running all kinds of dogs as well as providing playtime, feedings, and meds. I am detail oriented and give my all to each service and each pet! I always do my best to go above and beyond, showing your fur baby the love it deserves while you're not able to be there❤️ I have experience with cat sitting as well: litter, filling water and food, play time, etc. I also have a cat, so I'm keen on how to read their cues to avoid conflict and redirect with play time, treats, or whatever they like best. I work 7-5 most days, so I am available for walks in the evening or early morning. I am also available for weekend boardings or sittings from Friday evening through Sunday evening With my cat, I have habits of keeping all foods and breakables out of the way. If your pup or kitty is not friendly to other cats, I can split them in two separate rooms of my apartment which I'm happy to detail further on a case by case basis! I prefer sittings in your own home as it's less stress on your baby, but open to whatever you may need. Communication is my #1 priority along with everyone's safety 🥰

About: Hi, I’m Melena, a lifelong animal lover with years of experience providing gentle, attentive care to both dogs and cats. Whether your pup needs regular walks, or your cat prefers a cozy companion while you're away, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy. I offer: Daily dog walks filled with exercise and tail wags Thoughtful, stress-free care for cats in their own home Medication administration and special-needs attention Reliable communication and photo updates so you can relax Your pets are more than animals—they’re family. I treat them with the same care, patience, and affection I’d want for my own. I'm currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to take care of your dog or cat. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority in my schedule. I’m very flexible and can easily work around your needs—whether it’s early morning dog walks, midday check-ins, or evening cat visits. I understand that every pet (and pet owner) has a different routine, and I’m happy to adapt to provide consistent, reliable care whenever it's needed. When caring for pets in their home, I prioritize safety, trust, and creating a calm, familiar environment. I respect your space and follow all instructions carefully to maintain your pet’s routine and comfort. I’m attentive to details like securely locking doors, monitoring pet behavior, and keeping the home clean and safe. You can trust that I’ll treat your home—and your pets—with the utmost care, just as I would my own.

About: I have had dogs, cats and birds my entire life. I will treat your fur babies as I would treat my own. Nothing but love I am at home all day as I am an artist. And work from home. I work out of the home 3 evenings a week. I have a large back yard. It is not fenced in but I do have a 25ft lead or I can simply walk them. I have 2 pet parakeets and a Great Dane that recently went to heaven at almost 12. Pets are always allowed on my couches and beds and I miss the snuggles.

“We came into town from LA for a wedding and Rebecca took care of my sweet girl like she was her own! Best idea ever to book time with her! In unfamiliar settings it was great to know that my pup was in caring and good hands, if we come back Rebecca will be seeing Wynn again!”


“Catherine is such a great person for Rocco to have when I need him checked on. She takes such great care of him as if he was her own. She accepts his love for squirrels and sticks. I am very thankful For her kindness & help with Rocco. My dog appreciates it almost as much as I do 😊”


About: I’ve cared for both dogs and cats for over 7 years, starting with my own dog who’s been with me since I adopted him when he was 1 yr old. While I haven’t done formal training or grooming, I’ve handled daily care routines like walking, feeding, playing, and making sure pets feel safe and loved. I truly see animals as one of life’s biggest blessings, and I care for every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s companionship or daily care, I bring patience, affection, and a calm presence to every visit. I work full time but work Monday and Thursday’s from home. I can check in on your pet those days along with weekends! Would love to take them on a walk. I do my best to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow your instructions closely whether it’s feeding times, walks, playtime, or medication needs. I also provide regular updates and photos, so you can feel confident they’re in good hands while you’re away.

About: I may not have specific skills or training, but I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. Along with babysitting for my brother’s dogs while he would go away for deployment or vacations. Caring for my friend’s dogs while they go out of town for work and vacations. I work part time, and a full time student. I’m only 20 minutes away from work & school, so I’m able to come home anytime. My dog’s schedule varies, but usually she goes outside in the morning, afternoon, and before bedtime. If I’m watching other dogs I will respect their requests.
