“Zach took great care of our animals while we were away for a week. He was extremely flexible when I accidentally booked the wrong dates initially and needed to change the booking last minute. He communicates well and took great care of our cats, chickens, and fish!”
“Hillary was a great find in the "eleventh hour" of my search for service. She dropped in and took really good care of my dog while I was far away for the day. I felt confident from our first texts and Hillary's generous effort to come to my home for a meet n greet. Hillary followed through with great communication, lots of photos and follow up texts. I would call her again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her services ! Thank you so much!”
“Rachel was awesome helping out in a pinch when my flights got delayed and I needed an extra check in added on to my booking for Gracie and I came home to a happy kitten!”
“Rebecca is our go-to pet sitter for our two cats when we are out of town! She always takes such good care of them and sends the cutest pictures to keep us posted on how they’re doing :)”
“I recently booked with Liv for the first time, and my kitties were in capable hands! Always prompt and she was patient with winning over my two kitties. They both were well cared for and given lots of love and attention, and she even managed to treat a scratch on the snoot of my one kitty. Would recommend!”
“Annie is a great pet sitter. Our pets were happy and relaxed when we returned from our weekend away. She was punctual, neat and sent us photos. It was cute. Thanks Annie 🙂”
About: I’m a recently retired school teacher with a passion for animals and much love to give. After years of nurturing students, I’m now enjoying the best kind of “retirement” by spending my days walking dogs, playing with pups, and caring for pets. I have so many fond memories of the various dogs and cats I cared for as a kid and parent. Starting in August, 2025 I am available M-F mornings and late afternoons to care for your pet. I can be flexible at other times as well. I closely follow the owners' instructions on their property. Also, I live in a peaceful neighborhood, in a single family home with a large yard. Since the homes are part of a subdivision, there is minimal traffic.
About: Adopting Benny, our now 6-year-old Australian Shepherd mix, who is 75 pounds and the neighborhood dog greeter. Has been one of the most meaningful and rewarding experiences of our lives. He came to us as a rescue, full of potential but also in need of patience, consistency, and care. Australian Shepherds are known for their intelligence, energy, and sensitivity—and Benny is no exception. From daily walks and mental stimulation to routine training and lots of affection, caring for him has been a constant, joyful commitment. He thrives on structure and attention, and it’s been incredibly rewarding to watch him grow more confident and connected as the years go by. Benny has taught us so much about resilience, communication, and the powerful bond that forms between a pet and their family. He’s not just a pet—he’s truly part of our family. Pet care is a daily routine for me. I'm the one who feeds, brushes, spends time with my dog and walks him on a daily basis. I provide nothing but the best for Benny. He gets toppers on his food, supplements, daily attention and walks. I'am trustworthy, reliable and will treat your animals as if they were my own.
About: I love animals! I’ve never been able to have my own pets so I am thrilled when I get to take care of other people’s pets. It brings me so much joy! I’m currently teaching on and off and looking for longer term work! I have a very flexible schedule that changes week to week with how much I’m teaching or interviewing. In my clients homes I take care of pets exactly as I am instructed to. I try to replicate clients routines exactly. I love to walk on leash and play with toys!
“Seamus helped me out totally last-minute and was a perfect caretaker for my two cats. Seamus was not phased by Zola, my standoffish cat, and noted "Zola sightings!" And he noted that my furry 17-lb, Squirrel reminded him of his cat. I highly recommend Seamus! So do my cats!”
“Susannah did an excellent job house sitting with my three elderly cats. They aren’t easy, given their age and “litter habits- or occasional lack thereof, but Susannah obviously was kind and gracious to them. She also took great care of my home. She’s at the top of my list next time I go away.”

She’s exactly what you’d want in a caregiver: reliable, communicative, and tuned in to what each pet needs.

You can feel very confident leaving your dog in her care!”
