“Working with Gary is a total pleasure. He is kind, responsive and very attentive to detail. It's always such a relief to be able to head out of town without having to worry about my cats - I'd look forward to working with Gary again any time!”
“Isabela was so friendly and did an amazing job taking care of Boo while we were away. She gave us peace of mind, knowing Boo was able to eat his preferred food daily and that he wasn’t lonely. Plus it was awesome knowing that he was doing ok without us. We highly recommend her and Rover! We would definitely rebook with her for our next vacation!”
“Olivia was wonderful! She did a great job taking care of our cats while we were away. Communication was great and based on the daily updates we got, our normally shy cats loved her visits. Will be booking with her in the future!”
“Abby Jo ROCKS!!! She came into our home, and immediately “friended” my kitties, who normally would run from strangers. During her visits, she kept me informed every step of the way. She took time to play with them, and took photos that she forwarded to me. Abby Jo took care of my kitty who needed eye drops in her eye while I was gone. She cleaned up an oopsies, and really treated my place as if it were her own. I would highly recommend her if you’re looking to go out of town. I feel comfortable now knowing that I have Abby Jo to take care of my Kids.”
“Rachel took great care of all 4 of my cats! She spent time with them and gave Jake his meds, no problem. She's got a great attitude and attention to detail. I'd definitely use her again.”
“Amanda provided excellent care for my cat while I was away, with daily updates and photos. I highly recommend her. If I ever need a cat sitter in the future, I plan to rebook.”
“It was a relief to leave my cats in the hands of someone so experienced in caring for them. I was definitely nervous, but Cheyenne was extremely responsive and provided great updates. I can tell that my cats were well cared for and I would be happy to use her services again!”
“Have met and used Emily several times with great results. Happy to answer all the good questions she asks and never thought to ask ourselves. Very nice young lady, clearly enjoys spending time with our fur babies and understands their needs. Would highly recommend.”
About: Over the course of my life, I’ve owned seven different types of pets, from horses to cats and dogs and others in between! This pet care experience that started in early childhood has led me to appreciate, understand, and know how to handle different furry family members’ personalities. In addition, I have pet at for various families in my community, all of whom had various pets with different needs and temperaments. It would be my honor to care for your pet and give them the treatment they deserve as part of your family. I am currently a college student with a fairly flexible schedule, with availability throughout different parts of the day. I am able to provide pet care throughout most days of the week in general! I am willing to abide by and uphold any of your standard practices for your pet! The last thing I’d like to do is disrupt your pet schedule or routine, so I will do everything in my ability to follow your standards to the letter.
“Kaylah was a wonderful kitty sitter! We were so happy to have her. She refilled the feeders and emptied the litter box even when I told her originally she wouldn't have to. The kitties were very well cared for!”
“Kayla was great with watching our pups while we were gone for the weekend. They love her and she did a great job with communicating and sending pics while she was at our house. I would definitely recommend Kayla!”
“Our cat Robert has had very unpredictable behavior with new people since we moved to the area. Lia has been great about letting him take the lead and responding to his varying comfort level with her. She always communicates with us if she has questions or concerns, and with updates for each visit. Our other cat Jack has warmed up to her, and we think it's a matter of time with Robert.”
“Outstanding care for our cat who NEEDS a lot of cuddles.....and who wants to cuddle a strange cat? Really, Kyrsta took exceptional care of our beloved cat AND provided rubs and cuddles! Dependable, kind and gentle, a real find!”
About: I have owned my own dog for the past 15 years. Experienced with difficult eaters, medication needs, walking, playing etc. Experienced with dogs who don’t like other dogs. Work full time during the week. Can provide care before and after work. Pets will need to be alone for 8 hours. Weekends I am very free to give as much attention as necessary I’ll provide whatever level of care and safety your pet is used to in your home and neighborhood. My goal is to make their time away from you as much like if you were there.

About: My family has always had dogs since I can remember. I got my first dog, Ruby, named after the children’s show Max and Ruby, when I was 4 years old. I have loved caring for dogs ever since. Ruby is even still kicking at 16 years old! I now have a second dog, a 9 month old Husky who loves to play. I’ve trained many dogs, older and puppies since I can remember. I also have a lot of experience with elderly dogs, Ruby being a prime example. We go on walks often and I have a fenced in yard to run around and play in. I work part-time fully from home. I make my own schedule for work so I am completely flexible. The only time I ever leave the house is to take my dogs somewhere, dog park, hiking trail, etc. I am available every day and do same day bookings so feel free to reach out whenever you need! My dogs are very friendly and love other dogs. We also have 2 cats that play with our dogs as well. I have a fully fenced in yard to give your fur baby plenty of room to run around freely and play.
