“Britany was an amazing pet sitter. She came to our home twice a day for over a week. We have three kittens all under 1 year so there were some special instructions about feeding and keeping them apart at times. Britany went above and beyond to make sure all our cats had the care and attention they needed while we were gone. She gave detailed updates as well as included numerous photos after each scheduled visit. Once you meet her you know she has the biggest heart! We need to go out of town soon and plan to book Britany again!”


About: I’ve loved and cared for a variety of animals throughout my life. I’ve had dogs, cats, a parakeet, hamsters, gerbils, rats, ferrets, fish, a bearded dragon, and a red tail boa. I LOVE animals. When I was a kid I would even spend my weekends at our local pet shop holding and playing with their animals. I am a mother of two teenagers, and have been a small business owner, so I am extremely responsible, reliable, caring, attentive to detail, and have the skills to do anything necessary to care for your pets. I am available most of the time, and my time is flexible. I recently sold my half of my small business and am now taking some time for myself (that I want to fill with animals!), so I am almost always available and flexible. We have a fenced in yard, but we also live in a beautiful historic neighborhood and love taking walks around the neighborhood and to the park as often as possible.

“This was the third time we have had Sierra watch our cats, another great experience! Communication is always outstanding and the cats love when she stops by! Definitely gives us peace of mind knowing that we have someone who will take great care of our babies when we are gone. Thank you, Sierra!”



“Kelly is our go-to pet sitter for our crew of resident dogs, foster dogs, and even our cat! She is experienced with dogs and cats alike and goes above and beyond to make sure they’re well cared for. I love that our dogs have a consistent routine and can stay home when I travel, but that I don’t have to worry about whether they’re being well taken care of. We have a dog that takes twice daily medication and Kelly gave every dose with no issue. Kelly always does an amazing job with both easy dogs and higher maintenance ones. She is also extremely flexible and go-with-the-flow. Our flight got delayed and she was happy to go over for a last-minute additional visit to keep our pets well and happy until our return! I would recommend Kelly without a single reservation.”


“Not only is Dorothy an excellent dog sitter, but she is a true animal lover! This was confirmed at our meet and greet when she rescued a parakeet that had gotten itself lost and seemed to be begging her for help! It was amazing! Happily, the parakeet has found a wonderful, forever home with Dorothy! She is great!!!”


“We knew 5 minutes after Bri walked in for a meet and greet that our dogs would be in great hands!!! Our dog, Shiloh does NOT easily warm up to anyone very quickly but with Bri, it was almost immediate and she was snuggled up against her, enjoying being petted. Our cat also really liked her too. (And she really does not like ANY strangers!!) Bri is a very kind girl and very obviously great with animals!! We were VERY happy with Bri as a pet sitter and highly recommend her.”
