“Kyla did a great job looking after my cats. It was easy to set things up, she arrived as scheduled, communicated well throughout, and my cats liked her too.”


“This was our first time having Jeffrey do drop ins for our three wild kids and he was AMAZING! Great communication, super professional, loved on our doggos just like we would!”


“Rachel is the best cat sitter! She is so communicative and is able and happy to deal with my quirky cats! They can be timid with new people but they have liked Rachel from the start. I will always use and recommend Rachel!”


“Kathleen is such a gem—so great with my cat and SO helpful for me. Punctual, incredibly sweet, she has also been extremely flexible and patient two times when I was having trouble with my remote unlock from my smart lock. She's really been a lifesaver. Book her, you won't regret it!”


“We hired Catherine because of her numerous great reviews. She was available for the time we needed and was prompt to schedule a meet and greet. Catherine was very likable, personable, and relatable. We needed someone who we could trust to watch our pups but also would be respectful to our home as well, knowing she had over 80+ great reviews gave us peace of mind. She watched our pups while we were away on vacation. She was very communicative and kept us up to date with how our fur babies were doing, sending updates and photos. We had her come to our home for 30 min visits, where she fed them, took them outside for potty breaks, and spent some time loving on them. We have a female 11 yr old yorkie, and a male 4 yr old vizsla,our yorkie is just loveable towards everyone, but our vizsla he was a bit apprehensive in the beginning with her but Cat was determined to win him over and by midweek he finally warmed up to her. I would highly recommend Catherine to anyone who is looking for someone to come into their home and care for their pets.”


“Maria did a great job with my dogs when i had to put in a last minute sitter request. I have one dog who is afraid of most people and she took to Maria quickly, i don't know how she did it!! Maria was quick to call or text with any questions or updates, I def recommend her as a sitter!”


“I’m never using anyone else! Tyler has a genuine love and passion for animals that shows in her visits and when she hosts. You won’t just get pictures of your dog playing in backyard - she actually spends time with your pup”


“Jordan is an absolute gem. We hire her every time we are out of town and our cats (one of whom has get a get an insulin shot very 12 hours) are so well cared for. 10/10, definitely book her!”


About: I'm officially back and excited to work with new clients! What really sets me apart is my genuine love for animals of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. Through my volunteer work with rescue organizations, humane societies, and wildlife rehabilitation centers, I've learned to connect with pets who might be shy, anxious, or just need a little extra patience. I'm especially comfortable with senior pet care (thanks to my own elderly cats), medication administration, and working with special needs animals. My late staffie rescue taught me that the most misunderstood dogs often make the most loyal companions, so I have a real soft spot for bully breeds and "difficult" cases. I've also got experience with puppy energy management – I can tire out even the most determined zoomie sessions! Friends joke that I'm a "cat whisperer," though I'll admit one particularly stubborn feline took me 15 years to win over. Whether your pet needs gentle senior care, high-energy adventures, or just someone who won't blink at their quirky habits, I'm here for it. No creature is too unusual – I've cared for everything from traditional pets to more exotic companions! After leaving academia to pursue my passion for writing and art, I've discovered the joy of a flexible schedule. I spend most of my time outdoors anyway (turns out fresh air is much better for creativity than stuffy lecture halls), so having some four-legged companions along for the adventure sounds like a no-brainer. Plus, I've learned that pet adventures are the perfect antidote to writer's block. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe and loved while you're away. I'm experienced with administering medications, maintaining routines, and reading those subtle pet signals that tell you when something's not quite right. My own little crew includes two senior cats (14 and 17) and a wonderfully patient yellow lab who's basically a gentleman and a scholar. One of my cats has special needs, so I'm comfortable with medical care and know how important consistency is for our furry family members.

“Julia is the absolute best. Booked on short notice and my two year old lab had an amazing time with her. Provided timely updates and photos throughout the day. Will definitely be booking again!”


“Kay is phenomenal! She is responsive, knowledgeable, and provides amazing communication and very funny updates! I never had to worry about the care she gave to my cat, even when I was so far away :) Thank you, Kay!”


“Alexander was awesome! My silly, hyper pup warmed up to him well and he made sure my big oy was taken care of without any deviations from our routine. I will be planning on booking Alexander soon!”


“Ashley was amazing!! She sent lots of cute pics of the kitties and sent a nice note of everything she did while she was there!! Will definitely book with her next time!”


About: Hi, I'm Miki! I've had dogs my whole life, and adopted one of my very own (Scout) about 4 years ago! With several years of personal and professional experience, I'm confident I can provide a happy and safe space for your pet. :) As a dog owner, I know how hard it can be to find someone you trust with your pet, and my goal is to give my client's peace of mind knowing that their babies are being cared for just as I would my own dog! At the moment, I only host one dog at a time to make sure they get my full attention (or two from the same household). I have a ton of experience and knowledge with dogs, but particularly anxious/reactive dogs and am always happy to accommodate any special needs/requests. I work from home a few days a week and have an open weekend schedule, so Scout and I would love having another friend around to keep us company! We typically go on a minimum of 3 walks a day (morning, afternoon and night) for anywhere from 20 minutes- 1+ hours. Between walks, I have plenty of toys and mentally stimulating gadgets that Scout would be happy to share. :) While I don't have a yard, my neighborhood is the perfect dog-friendly spot with lots of trails, streams and parks! If your dog is hanging with us, you can expect an itinerary full of very dog centered activities (as usual) haha. I'm experienced working with low and high energy dogs and more than happy to follow your dogs typical schedule- whatever that may be! To maintain safe and calm environment for all pets, I do require that dogs are crate trained and feel comfortable being crated if I need to leave the house for a short time.

“Being away from my furbabies is always stressful. Nicole was able to ease my stress with her excellent care of my 3 furbabies. One super senior on lots of meds and the other two prior feral makes them not the easiest to care for. Nicole did great with walking, feeding and any special needs that occurred. I will use Nicole again should I need to travel without my furbabies.”


About: Hi, my name is Yae, and I’m a devoted ally to your furry friends! I've been caring for pets my entire life, growing up surrounded by dogs of all shapes and sizes. Whether big or small, I love them all! Currently, I have a well-trained and socialized Rottweiler who adores playing with friendly dogs and cats. If your pet isn't the most sociable, no worries at all—I can easily separate them to ensure everyone feels comfortable. In some cases, my dog may not be with me, so just let me know, and I’ll be all theirs for the day! Your pet's happiness and well-being are my top priority! I work from home so I’m available to look after your pet daily. If there’s a moment where I have to leave I can crate the baby if that’s okay with the owner but I will make sure that it isn’t super long. I’m pretty flexible throughout the week to look after your pet, so just let me know and we should be able to work something out. I live in a nice neighborhood. Many of neighbors have pets. Plenty of space for them to play and take them out for walks at anytime. I also have a nice fenced in backyard for the pups to run around in. In home I have plenty of room for them to roam as they please I don’t mind them on my furniture. I’m also flexible to look after the owners dogs at their space or just drop in for a little walk.

About: I am a proud parent of a 5 year old pug I got in 2018.I am also a proud co-parent of my girlfriend 3 year old Golden Doodle Milo that’s she got as a puppy as well. I have also cared for various friends and even coworkers animals while they went on vacation. I work full-time Monday Through Friday from 7am-3pm I am available to do checks in during the week after I get off and I’m always available all day on weekends On the weekend I always available due to be being off i currently live in a apartment my girlfriend has a house with a huge backyard and a golden doodle who loves to make new friends

“You won’t find a better person to care for your pet than Miki. She is reliable, compassionate, and incredibly thoughtful. Miki recently looked after our dog, Kona, and made sure she wasn’t just watched, but rather genuinely cared for while we were away. It’s one thing to have someone watch your pet, but it’s something entirely different to have someone treat them like their own. That’s exactly who Miki is. We can’t recommend her highly enough!”

Amonyae W.
“Say Yay to working with Amonyae! I have had the pleasure of knowing Yae and his dog Sasha for over 2 months now. Yae shows such warmth love and gentle authority while caring for and training Sasha. He watches Sasha so carefully while she interacts with other dogs, and he intercedes perfectly to deescalate any tensions that may pop up. All the dogs at the dog park like and respect Yae. They look to him for guidance and direction. My dog Bennie trusts Yae almost as much as me. I am pretty sure, if I were not around, Bennie would choose Yae to live with! Make your pet extra happy and start working with Yae today!!”


Raheem J.
“Raheem has house set for me twice now watching my 2 dogs Duke and Lily, they were very well taken care of and we even got pictures thru out the week. I would highly recommend him, he is hard working and honest. It was very comforting to know our dogs and home was in his care. We will definitely be calling him the next time we go on vacation or a weekend trip.”
