“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.
“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.”

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 :)
“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.”

“Autumn was great with my two young dogs! She was very communicative and provided pictures and updates. It was wonderful to know that my girls were getting some outside and playtime while I was away for the day. I’ll definitely be reaching out for help with my pups again!! 😊”


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.
“Renee was very professional and kind, Max seemed to feel comfortable with her. She was on time every day, and the updates set our minds at rest every day so we could enjoy our time away from home.”

“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.”

“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!”

About: I am a Registered Veterinary Technician at a shelter I used to volunteer for, and have had my own dogs and cats my entire life. I’ve recently gone part-time and would enjoy walking your pets or stopping in for those needed potty breaks. I used to walk dogs for the shelter I now work at. I also foster animals for them, most dogs and puppies. I work at the shelter Thursdays and Fridays. I am available other days of the week on a part-time basis. I don’t have preferred days in mind at this time. I will certainly follow all instructions provided and will treat your pet as my own while in my care. I will respect and properly care for your home environment.
