“Victoria was great! She responded quickly and was available for a last minute booking. She did a meet and greet with my 2 cats and answered all my questions. She even went the extra mile to set out my garbage can when I asked her. I love the communication through the app and the multiple photos I received daily. I will definitely be booking through her again in the future if she is available when needed.”


“Very impressed with Erica! She is timely, conscientious, and reliable. She is experienced with positive reinforcement training, which has been perfect consistency for my puppy-in-training! Will continue to book her in the future.”


“Alysa is awesome, and a was a lifesaver when family medical emergencies caused half our family to travel out of state for treatment. Alysa came in and dealt with my dog in her teenage rebel phase, but always made sure she was well taken care of and given lots of attention. And I appreciated Alysa's thorough communication through the entire process.”


“Ariel was always on time, attentive, and did exactly what we asked for our cats. I would highly recommend her services to anyone and will definitely be requesting her in the future.”


“She is absolutely caring, understanding, and a very responsible person. Definitely an excellent first impression and gives me the confidence to use her services again very soon!!”


“Jayda is great with my pups & respectful of my home. I'm excited to have her house-sit for me soon. Jasper & Lila love to spend time with her! I feel very comfortable leaving my pups in her care.”


“Lindsey was kind and quick to respond to my msgs. She was caring and asked for instructions on how to watch Benny. She sent me photos of him while she let him out and he looked very happy. Thank you, Lindsey! I will definitely rebook with you again!”


“Joy does a wonderful job. My cats really like her. She takes great care of them and plays with them and gives them attention. I hope to use her many times in the future.”


“We had such a great experience with our pet sitter, Lucy! She took amazing care of our kitties, Dumbo and Lizzie, while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Lucy was attentive, reliable, and clearly cared about making sure our pets felt comfortable and loved. We came home to two happy animals and everything in perfect order. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter!”


“Alexis is awesome! She did a great job with our 3 dogs. 2 youngish sisters that are active and my 14+ year old GSD buddy. The old man is doing well but showing his age. Alexis met the needs of young and old alike. Highly recommended by our whole pack.”


“Morgan will 110% be a repeat for me! If she'll have me! 😆 Not only did she take care of my pets special needs (insulin injections), but she went above and beyond to actually make a connection with my fuzzies... AND me! She sent me photos everyday, and even left me adorable tiny Polaroids of them!!🫠🫶 The kind of care she provided, took a HUGE load off my shoulders while being out of state. knowing my animals are happy,eating & safe..its the best. Thank you, again!”


About: I am a Licensed Veterinary Technician, a licensed positive reinforcement Canine Obedience Instructor, and am Pet CPR and First Aid certified! I have cared for pets for most of my life, with all stages of lives and medical needs. I have experience with caring for young through senior age, diabetics, surgical recovery pets, pets with behavioral needs, and everyday average happy kiddos! I can make nearly any pet care situation work. I have flexible hours, rates, and am always open for discussion! I have experience with large animal, small mammal, aquatics, birds, and dogs/cats. I have made pet care my entire life. I continue to strive to be the best I can be for my own pets, and am happy to extend that love out to other peoples' pets as well. I have an open schedule so that I can be available when people need. I am currently in the process of fencing my yard. At this time, we take on-leash walks in the neighborhood. The yard is monitored and we have a security system that alerts us to movement outside, so that we don't have accidental run-ins with moose. Pets are not left outside unattended. Kitties are restricted to indoor only, and can have their own private room if needed. My personal pets are crate trained, so that if I have a non-social pet in the home, I am able to give them the space they need. If I am in a client's home, I do not bring visitors, I do not bring my own pets, and I make accommodations for each situations specific needs. All pets are cared for to the standard that I would expect my own to be cared for. I am dependable, honest, and will always do my best to do exactly what is asked of me.
