âStacey P communicated with me about my dog twice daily keeping me informed of how he was doing. She took excellent care of my very elderly dog and even had some helpful suggestions about his care. I would definitely book her again.â
âElizabeth did an incredible job watching over our 2 senior cats! Sheâs was kind, responsive and provided my husband and I with a wonderful sense of safety for our fur babies. I highly recommend her!â
âCatie took amazing care of our sweet puppy, Emmer. She is super reliable, does an incredible job and has a nice calm energy. We're so happy to have found her.â

âI wish I could give more than 5 stars! Sarah is professional and responsible, and she truly is a miracle worker. My cats were incredibly well-loved and cared for, plus she took the time to give special attention to my one cat that suffers from anxiety!â

âKelsey did such an amazing job with our cat! Like most cats he needs a little time to warm up and she was so patient with him. He was loving all the playtime he got and by the end even crawled into her lap for attention. Her updates and pictures were detailed and we were able to enjoy our trip knowing our cat was happy, healthy, and enjoying time with Kelsey. The next time we need a sitter we'll definitely be booking with her again!â

âAriana was very responsive and came out to meet and greet with Dasher and I before the scheduled sit which I really appreciated since it was our first time, and last minute on my end. Dasher took to her right away and her reports were always detailed and with lots of pictures. Dasher was a happy camper when I got back. I wouldnât hesitate to schedule with her again.â

About: Full-time medical student, eager to get my (and your pup's) steps in! I've grown up with dogs my whole life and currently have 1 at home, so I have some experience caring for pups, to say the least. I canât wait to meet your furry friend! Would love to give your pup all the love and attention it deserves, whether it be for a simple walk or an adventure to the park! I will make sure you're dog feels at ease and safe when with me, because that's how I'd want my own dogs to feel. If they have any dietary or health restrictions I'll be sure to pay extra attention to them while spending time with them. I love photography as well so I'll be sure to send pictures of your little model on our walks. I'm currently a full time medical student so my schedule revolves around what organ block iâm learning about but would be more than happy to find a time that works best for you, your pet, and me. During weekdays I am mostly available after 3:30 pm, but weekends are much more flexible! I would make sure your dog felt safe and was having fun while in my care. When caring for pets, I want to make sure all their needs are met and I am treating them as if they were my own pet. I love to go on walks to grassy and green areas so your dog will definitely be seeing some park action when with me.
âGretchen took amazing care of my cat, Dory, while I was away for 5 days! I got updates and photos after every visit, which gave me so much peace of mind. She went above and beyond with the litter box, fresh water, driving to me, and taking the trash out before I got home. Couldnât have asked for better care. Highly recommend!â


âAlyssa was so amazing with my fur babies. She sent daily photos and was extremely communicative. Also cleaned up behind them when they were being a bit naughty (knocked over plants lol) Ultimately, I came home to a clean litter box and extremely happy kittens. I am certain they will miss her and I intend to rebook with Alyssa in the future.â

About: I have raised two dogs (one large bread and one small bread) both from puppy to 16 & 17yrs old. I have had three cats (one still residing with me). Currently I dog sit two fur babies since 2020. In a week I am losing one of my buddies due to his parents relocating. I am already missing him and am hoping to make some new walking and cuddling partners. I work part time on weekends but can sit with advanced notice. Monday til Wednesday I am available for anytime on shorter notice. When I have your furry sweetheart I do not leave them by themselves at all,so I like to schedule when there is nothing to conflict with the time I have them. When in my house they have no restrictions from me, only what the parent wants. I have an outside bathroom area on leash for quick bathroom trips. I like to go for at least one or two long walks per day, weather permitting and your dogs abilities. I live in a walkable neighborhood and close to parks. When at your house I will follow whatever routine your partner is used to.
About: Hi! Iâm Katy! I am a veterinary assistant working at McClelland Small Animal Hospital, and Iâm pet sitting not only due to my love of animals, but to use the extra funds to help pay for my dream wedding! Iâve had pets my entire life, and Iâm so fortunate to be able to help care for others' pets every day. I will love and treat your critters like they are my own, as taking care of animals is truly my passion. I currently work full time at an animal hospital and own 3 dogs, 2 cats, a crab, and even a jumping spider, so pet care is truly second nature to me. When Iâm entrusted in caring for your pet and your home, I will be there all night and in the morning before I head into work. I will check on them during my lunch hour so they can have a potty break, lunch (if needed), play time, cuddles, and plenty of attention, before I'm back with them right after my work day. I'm always incredibly respectful of my clients homes, ensuring things are just as neat and tidy (if not more so) than they were when I arrived. Mail will be brought in, trash taken out, and bed linens cleaned. You're on a vacation, why worry about cleaning up when you get home?! The animal hospital I work for has a boarding facility for dogs and cats. When Iâm not caring for others pets at work, Iâm tending to my menagerie at home! As the owner of pets who have trouble being removed from their âsafe space,â you can rest easy knowing that your pets will receive plenty of love and care in the place they feel the most comfortable. During a meet and greet, I come prepared with an information sheet to fill out so that I can make sure I cater to each pets specific needs. Everything from feeding times, food sensitivities, and jotting down your pets favorite toys and activities!
âMy cats can be temperamental and all have little things they need for their care and Lana fit the bill to accomplish those things. She sent us so many photos of our babies and kept us up to date on their daily happenings. She is also the only person outside of my family that has cared for my dog. I was nervous about leaving him behind but she took the utmost care of him and he was doing great when we got back.â

âCarolyn is amazing! She watched our cat while we were away on vacation. She administered medication every day and made sure to send us fun pics of our cat! She is hands down the best cat sitter on here!â
âAn amazing sitter! She went above and beyond for us. So thankful for her and being able to drop in last minute for us. I would recommend to anyone. She handled our crazy pups so well.â

Jennifer went above and beyond when taking care of Arlo, by not only ensuring he was fed but that he had enough play time and attention while I was gone. I would recommend booking her if you need someone reliable and with flexibility. Plus, she'll take a lot of cute photos of your pet!

Nick watched our cats đ đ over the holidays. Very grateful to have someone so kind and respectful of our home checking in on them! Would definitely recommend Nick! He was very responsive and was even kind enough to water our plants 𪴠(which was a huge help).

Elisabeth took incredible care of my dog while I was out of the country for two weeks. Itâs the first time Iâve seen my dog look happy in my absence! I got plenty of photos and updates and didnât worry once. Elisabeth even stepped into extend visits when I got stranded for 24 hours. I wouldnât hesitate to book her again!

Marine did a great job taking care of Chidi, who I know can have his behavior quirks and difficulties! She was very responsive and a pleasure to work with- I trusted that Chidi was in good hands when I had to take a last minute trip out of town. I received lots of pictures and Chidi looked like he had a great time. I would definitely have her care for Chidi again and recommend her to anyone looking for A+ cat care!

Meg was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Roscoe! She gave him so much love and attention, and I could tell she really cared about making him comfortable and happy. She was very attentive to both his needs and mine, and I appreciated how flexible she was with the changes in our schedule. I felt at ease knowing Roscoe was in such great hands. Highly recommend Meg!

Jessica was absolutely fantastic. She was prompt and on time for each visit. She came over before she was scheduled to allow us to show her where things were and how to give our cats meds. Took plenty of pictures for us to let us know our cats were okay. This was the first time we had left our cats alone since one of them was diagnosed with a congenital heart disease. The peace of mind she gave us can not be overstated. Also, she was very understanding when we had to change the schedule last minute. Thank you so much!
