“Kristie is incredibly sweet and gentle. I appreciate her taking on a last minute booking to watch my 2 cats. I was really nervous to hire a sitter for the first time, especially since I own a senior kitty with thyroid issues and an anxious kitty who hides around new people. Kristie communicates so well and made me feel at ease. I loved the pictures she took of my cats. I really appreciate Kristie cleaning up after my cat and giving me peace of mind. I will for sure book again! Thank you!”
About: I’m Logan, a lifelong dog lover with an Aussie Doodle named Hobbes. My girlfriend and I provide a calm, caring home where dogs of all sizes feel safe and welcomed. I’m patient, attentive, and experienced with both energetic pups and more anxious dogs, so your dog will receive the same structure, attention, and comfort they’re used to at home. We take Hobbes to the downtown dog park often, giving visiting dogs plenty of opportunities for exercise, play, and socialization. We also share our home with two friendly, easygoing cats who are comfortable around dogs, creating a relaxed and well rounded environment. Our household routine makes it easy for us to give visiting dogs plenty of attention throughout the day. I typically leave for work between 8–9 AM, Monday through Friday, and both my girlfriend and I are usually home by 3–4 PM. Evenings are spent at home, so dogs get lots of company, outdoor time, and attention after the workday. On weekends we’re almost always home, which gives us even more time for walks, play, and one-on-one care. We take Hobbes to the dog park about three times a week when the weather allows, and we also go on frequent morning or evening walks. Visiting dogs are welcome to join in for exercise, enrichment, and fun if they enjoy social outings. Safety and comfort are always our top priorities. Our two cats have their own dedicated space in the home, so they can relax undisturbed whenever they want. Visiting dogs are welcome to stay out of the crate and enjoy the home freely, but we’re also able to crate them when we’re away if that’s part of their routine or if an owner prefers it. With Hobbes here, most dogs enjoy having a built-in buddy to play with, which helps them feel less lonely and more settled during their stay. While we don’t have a fenced-in yard, we take all dogs outside on a leash for bathroom breaks, fresh air, and extra exercise to keep them comfortable and safe.
About: I’ve had a lot of experience with many types of dogs, from family to strangers I really just love animals. I’m very reliable and don’t really want your pet going without what it needs! I currently have a part time job so I have plenty of time in my schedule to walk or check in on your cut pets. I have one dog, daisy, she is an indoor dog who is very spoiled but also very well taken care of. Trust me she has more toys than she needs :)
“Vivien was amazing! Not only did she take amazing care of my dogs. She went and above and beyond and checked on my cats as well. Best part was, she always sent me pictures of them during each visit and also gave me a detailed description of how everyone was doing (I didn’t even ask for that). Truly went above and beyond. Will definitely be reaching out to her again for future needs. I was happy knowing my kids were in very good hands.”

“This was our first time using Rover. Even though Evie had a family emergency, she still went over and took care of our cat. We appreciate her dedication! We will use her again when we travel.”

“Celene was an absolute life saver. My dog sitter cancelled a few days before my vacation and I was very worried about not just finding someone, but someone that my dogs would enjoy being with. As soon as I met her and my dogs welcomed her I could tell they were in good hands. She was very informative with her 3 visits a day and sent pictures as well as updated if something seemed off with them or if they were extra happy to see her. I truly appreciate her more than words can explain and I’m so deeply grateful that my fur babies were well taken care of and appreciated. Thank you again Celene.”

“Hannah was wonderful with our kitty while we were away, Thomas really enjoyed her company which isn't always a given, and I appreciated the extra care when a painting fell and by taking care of our fish tanks too! Top notch sitter and will absolutely book again in the future.”

“Chelsea was amazing! She took such great care of our cats and gave great updates. One of our cats usually gets really stressed when we’re away, but he was so happy and relaxed this time with her checking in. I’m so grateful and will definitely book with her again!”

“Renée took such good care of all my babies! She sent lots of pictures and played with all of them at least a little. She even sent pics of our grouchy senior cat screaming for her food, as one does when you're a 13 year old cat. I was so happy with the care that Renée provided for both dogs and my gaggle of pocket pets as well! I've never felt better about having someone look in on my pets.”

“Autumn was great while watching our two cats. She did all her check ins on time and sent us the best pictures and updates every time. Would highly recommend☺️”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 25 years and have experience with both cats and dogs of all ages and personalities. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, cleaning, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and treat every home and pet with respect. I also provide regular updates so you always know how your pets are doing. I have a flexible schedule and am available for drop-in visits throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I can work around your pet’s routine to keep things consistent and stress-free. I’m available on weekends and can often accommodate last-minute requests. I care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable and secure. I also have a fenced-in yard for safe, supervised outdoor time if needed for dogs. During each visit, I make sure food and water are fresh, litter boxes or potty breaks are handled, and your pet gets attention based on their personality. I follow all care instructions closely, keep your home secure, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident while you’re away.
