“Kami is an excellent sitter!! She did an amazing job taking care of both our cats. We loved the photos and videos she sent us. It was really great to see them. Thank you kami! Def recommend”
“Mariah is very friendly and communicative. She did drop in visits for my cat, and she took the time to not only feed her and apply her eye-drop medication, but also to give her attention and play with her. I will be booking with her again!”
“Liv was amazing. My boy is weird with new people and she was excellent about meeting him! She even made a point to play fetch with him and ensure he was eating while I was away. 10/10 recommend her!!! She will absolutely be my first call next time I go away!”
“Emily did a great job. My dog was so happy to have someone come to her home rather than having to go to a loud kennel with other dogs she doesn’t know. We would definitely recommend Emily to anyone who is looking for care for their fur-baby.”
“Rusty has been great with my dog, Kota! Since Kota can be nervous around new people, we scheduled a meet-and-greet prior to any visits. Rusty took the time to get to know his quirks, and allowed for a slow introduction. He has been very reliable and flexible, and always provides detailed updates. I highly recommended booking with Rusty!”
About: I have extensive experience caring for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets, and more. Currently, I have two pets: Gremlin, a male mutt, and Eggs, a long-haired tabby female. They are my babies. A year ago, I experienced the loss of my sweet husky and lab, and I still miss them dearly. My passion for animals is unwavering, and I take great joy in caring for them. Gremlin, in particular, is very friendly and enjoys meeting new animals. I am a highly responsible and dedicated individual who will treat your pets with the utmost care and attention. I will provide regular updates and photos throughout the day to ensure your peace of mind while you are away. Additionally, I will ensure that your pets are well-fed, exercised, groomed, and their living area is kept clean. I am excited to meet you and your pets and provide them with the love and care they deserve. I am currently not working for the summer so I have plenty of time for your pets! I will be on most weekdays and weekends. I have a large unfenced yard. I have a friendly pup that would love to play. I allow my pets on my furniture. I can crate your pet if you would prefer otherwise they can get on my couch or the dog beds around my apartment. Whether at your house or mine, I will cade for your pet how you prefer and spoil them like my own.

About: I’ve had a deep love for cats, dogs and all things furry my entire life, sharing my home with corgis, labradors, Norwegian Forest Cats,, and lovable mixed breeds. From playful pups to wise old companions, I’ve cherished them all. I’ve attended training classes with my dogs and am certified in pet first aid through the American Red Cross, ensuring I’m prepared to handle their needs safely and confidently. I treat my pets like cherished family—and that’s exactly how I’ll treat yours. My dogs and cats are truly part of my family, and I make sure they’re well-fed, exercised, and engaged with enrichment activities every day. I work from home several days a week and take time out of my day to give them the attention they need. They enjoy nutritious meals and safe, fun toys to keep them happy and stimulated. I love spending time with my dogs, taking them on vacation each year to the lake or beach because their company brings me joy every day. When caring for your pets in their own home, I bring the same love and attention I give my own animals. I respect their routines and environment, ensuring they’re well-fed, exercised, and mentally stimulated just as they’re used to. Being in a familiar space helps reduce their stress, and I make it a priority to provide consistent companionship and care tailored to their unique needs. Working from home allows me to dedicate quality time to your pets, giving you peace of mind while you’re away.

Brooke O.
“Brooke is the best pet sitter we could ask for! She consistently went above and beyond to care for our dogs, sending regular updates with photos, ensuring their feeding schedule was followed perfectly, and even playing their favorite games to keep them entertained. We came home to a happy, relaxed pet and felt completely at ease knowing they were in such loving hands. Highly recommend!”
Jennifer P.
“I’m writing to provide a reference for Jen Plank, who has consistently taken excellent care of my cat, Pepper, whenever I travel. Most recently, she looked after Pepper over the Christmas and New Year holidays, and she has also cared for her during Thanksgiving, Easter, and other times I’ve been away. Jen is incredibly reliable and always shows up on the exact dates and times we agree on. She keeps me updated with texts and pictures, which gives me real peace of mind while I’m away. My cat is usually very shy around people, but Jen is patient and understanding. She even followed my suggestion to turn on the TV and sit quietly in the living room so Pepper could come out at her own pace. It’s a small gesture that meant a lot to me and showed her respect for my pet’s personality and comfort level. When I return home, I always find Pepper well-fed, relaxed, and clearly cared for. Jen makes it easier for me to take short trips, knowing that my cat is in such good hands. I would absolutely ask her to help again and again—I trust her completely.”
Megan W.
