“Matthew did a fantastic job watching our cats. He gave them lots of love and care, and I think our cats like him more than us now. He also was very tidy in our home. I'll definitely seek out Matt's help again next time we need a cat sitter.”

“My Cat Bella loves to be brushed and get attention, she is well taken care of and loves her new friend Ewa, who is awesome with my Bella! Thank you so much!”

About: Aside from being a dog, horse, and cat mom for over 20 years, I also have 5 years of experience working in a veterinary clinic, 2 years of experience as a dog trainer, and a year of experience working in a dog shelter. I have a wide range of expertise in many areas of animal needs, including animal health and behavior. Currently, I am available during evenings and weekends for pet care, including boarding or sitting for animals that are used to being alone during regular working hours. During summer and spring break I will also have increased availability as I am a teacher. My pets are like my children. They receive the best care as far as feeding, exercise, enrichment, medical care, and training. When I am watching someone else’s pet, I love them like they are my own. I am an animal lover and strive to make sure any animal in my care feels loved and safe.

“Brandi visited my home several times over a ten-day period to care for my (needy) Ragdoll cat. She met all of my expectations and then some. Great communication plus a caring and compassionate attitude. I will seek her services in the future.”

“Amanda was an incredible help while I was away taking such great care of my cats! She went above and beyond, not only making sure they were well cared for but also leaving my home even cleaner than when she arrived. Her daily updates were so thoughtful and reassuring, giving me total peace of mind. Plus, she has such a great vibe—I feel like we’d get along so well in everyday life! Thank you so much, Amanda!”

About: I have had dogs since I was born. My family has always had a dog. For 18 years, I had my own dogs. I’ve also watched friends and family member’s dogs. I will go to their houses and let their dogs out for them, walk them, etc. I work part time at a local elementary school as a TA. I only work 5.5 hrs a day, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pet. I have a fenced in yard and a 10 year old that would love to play with your dog if I’m not! I can put them in a crate if need be. I’d love to take them for a ride too! If I go to your house, I will respect your property and your dog’s things.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was really young. Other than always having a dog of my own, I’ve taken care of pets of family, friends, and neighbors. This past year has really been the first time I’ve been without a pet. My daughter and I have a lot of love and attention to give any furry friend. I have early mornings and late afternoon-evening open Monday-Friday open and most weekends are completely open. Holiday time will have more availability with my Thanksgiving and winter break. I have a pretty big yard and a quiet neighborhood perfect for taking walks. I plan to do my best to make sure your pet feels as at home as possible when in my care.

“Sam is amazing!! She took great care of my very shy cat while I was away. She kept me updated with pictures and messages each day which gave me so much peace of mind. After just a few visit my cat who hides from everyone was coming out for treats from Sam. I can’t recommend Sam enough!”

About: Hi there! My name is Lauren. Our pets are an important part of our family but unfortunately they can’t tagalong with us everywhere we go. Have you found yourself passing up opportunities, turning down offers or just having guilt about leaving them cooped up for too many hours? As a former business owner and having two dogs I understand the struggle. I had endless guilt about not spending enough time with my pups. But, you are in luck because you needn't feel guilt anymore. I have a flexible schedule which allows for you to make last-minute trips, on a whim decisions or just simply having a worry free day away from home. I have grown up with cats and dogs all my life. My pups and I have all gone to training classes so, I have a solid understanding of canine behavior in order to keep everyone safe and sound. I work in the health and wellness industry. My position allows for me to create my own schedule which is conducive to caring for all your beloved ones needs. I am super outdoorsy! So, I am familiar with many of our local parks and walking paths. I am always up for a car ride and to go to the park. Please just let me what you feel comfortable with.

About: Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I’ve helped look after dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from high-energy pups to shy seniors who need a gentler touch. Friends, neighbors, and family regularly rely on me because I’m attentive, patient, and truly enjoy spending time with their pets. I make sure every dog feels comfortable, safe, and loved, whether we’re playing, going for walks, or just relaxing together. Your pet will get reliable care and plenty of affection while they’re with me. I have 1 year dog kennel experience that inspired me to become a vet assistant to hopefully start my own commercial business in the future! Thank you for considering me and contributing to my experience it is greatly appreciated and your animals will be treated like my own! Boarding Capacity for personalized attention in my home • 1 dog I’m in school studying to become a veterinary assistant, so pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. My class schedule is flexible, giving me lots of availability on weekends and most weekdays. Since animal care is already a big part of my life, I’m able to provide consistent attention, playtime, and reliability for your pets. I do online. I have a safe, calm home with a fenced yard, two friendly dogs, and cats that are very dog-friendly and do not bother visiting pets. If your dog prefers space, I can easily keep my pets completely separated at all times. Your dog’s safety and comfort always come first whether I’m caring for them in your home or mine. I follow your feeding, potty, and exercise routine so they feel secure and settled. I maintain structured drop-off and pick-up windows for boarding to keep transitions smooth and stress-free. If you don’t really have a route with pups and are a go with the flow person like I am I can provide food,8-10 potty breaks, and two walks. Your dog’s stay includes: Safe & Comfortable Nighttime Setup • Cozy dog room with: • Dog beds • Fresh blankets & toys • Air purifier for clean, comfortable airflow • Bluetooth speakers for calming music • Potty pad spot • I sleep in the room with the dogs (10 PM–6 AM) • everything is sanitized after every stay using pet-safe detergent For safety during walks in my neighborhood, there are no sidewalks so we walk against traffic so we can see oncoming cars with dogs on the right side of me farthest away from the road in grass. In the winter, I follow a cold-weather walking policy for safety: if it’s too cold for me in an t shirt it’s too cold for them! Usually requests winter weather gear like boots and coat but one can be provided(washed after every use with pet safe detergent). (Black puffer and no slip socks.) Night time walking- don’t worry about the days getting darker I’ve got it covered with my reflective gear, flashlight, collar light clips, and more. Thank you for understanding and helping keep your pet safe!

“Awesome to work with! Very dependable and a great communicator. So glad she was able to drop in and check in on our kitties while we were away. Would easily rebook with again! Thanks so much, Jessica!”
