“Once again a pleasure to have Brandi check in on our cats! They seem very well taken care of and we appreciate the daily pictures and updates :)”


“Our dog stayed with grandpa for a week and Caylee walked him every evening. Grandpa said the dog was waiting for her every night and his tail would start wagging as soon as he’d see her through the window. Obviously she made them both feel comfortable and Farce loved his time with Kaylee. Thank you so much!”


“I definitely recommend Jayme with looking after you beloved pet family members. We went on our first family vacation and got to enjoy it worry free. Jayme looked after my two dogs that are high energy and can be vocal. My bunny rabbit, gecko and plants. She kept me updated every check-in with photos. I can't say enough how amazing she is and how well she took care of all my pets and plants. I will definitely be using her services again!”


“Denise truly loves dogs and is so gentle and easygoing with them. My big lab is happy to see her every week !”


“Kirsten replied promptly at my questions via texting and send me a photo of Shalom. She was very accommodating and flexible since Shalom is 17 years old and needed extra special care, like taking her down the stairs and up the stairs for poeping and peeing outside. She also tried to get her to eat, since she struggles to eat these days. Thanks Kirsten for keeping my dog alive and well.:)”


“Jelena dropped in to feed our two cats for a total of 6 visits. She is a great communicator and responded to messages very quickly. Our two cats warmed up to her easily which is rare. She sent multiple daily updates per feeding which really put our minds at ease. I highly recommend her for your pets!”


“If you're looking for a pet sitter I highly reccomend Chanda. She has great communication and we appreciated the photos she sent of our pup. It made us trust that we left our pet in good hands. This was our first ever pet sitter and such a postive experience. Booking was easy. Chanda was very professional and puntual. We will absolutely be booking with her again in the future!”


“Our cat is fiesty and she was able to come in a feed her and change litter.”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life—everything from small indoor pets like cats and dogs to farm animals and livestock. This has given me a strong foundation in understanding different species and their unique needs. I’m confident working with pets of all ages and temperaments, including energetic puppies and senior pets who may need extra time, care, and attention. What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach and my ability to adapt to each pet’s personality. I have experience caring for pets with anxiety and know how to provide a soothing, stable environment to help them feel safe and comfortable. I’m also comfortable administering oral medications or topical treatments as needed, and I’m always happy to follow specific care instructions closely. I treat every animal like part of my own family, and I’m committed to giving them the same love, routine, and attention they’re used to at home. Regular updates and photos are part of the package, so you can feel confident your pet is happy, healthy, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently work full-time in social work, and am fortunate enough to have a flexible routine that allows me to work in the community and from home. While in my care, your pets will be used to the natural routine of a 9am-5pm work day, as well as the luxury of being checked on, let outside and given attention at various points throughout the day. My home is a safe and welcoming environment for both cats and dogs. I have a fully fenced yard with secure locking gates, allowing pets to enjoy supervised outdoor time safely. Inside, I’ve taken steps to pet-proof the space to prevent accidents, injuries, or exposure to anything harmful. I tailor care based on each pet’s needs, making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and secure—whether they’re staying with me or I’m visiting them in their home. Safety, routine, and lots of affection are always my top priorities.

“Brittany makes it easy to go out for the day knowing your pets are in good hands. She sends updates and pictures from the visits so you can feel at ease knowing your furry family members are in great hands.”

I can offer personalized care and attention whenever needed, ensuring your pet gets the love, exercise, and companionship they deserve at any time of day.

About: I've been a pet owner my whole life. My dog died a few years ago and I dont have the heart space to get another right now but I would love to spend time with dogs, and I walk alot anyways. I also volunteer at the CAHumaneSociety. I am very flexible but mainly would like to walk your dog in the afternoons, before dinner or early evening and any time on the weekend I am very loving with animals and they always seem to love me. I have experience with cats and numerous breeds of dogs including Staffordshire terriers, mixed breeds and farm dogs.

About: I have grown up around all types of dogs, and I have an interest in and a love for all animals. I would be willing to do or learn whatever necessary for your pets specific needs. I am a recent graduate of RDP, working full time and looking for activities that get me out of the house and active! I love being around animals and am excited to get to spend time with them before getting my own. I have experience in other peoples homes whether it be past dog sitting or baby sitting, I am comfortable adapting to the animal’s environment. I have experience on and off leash, indoors or outdoors with a fenced yard.

“Ashka watched our cats for us while we were off getting married! She was prompt with all of her responses, and sent lots of pictures throughout her visits. I would 100% recommend her to others, and will definitely use her again!”


“Leslie is amazing! She was willing to work with my shy girl who puts on a tough front. I know my pets are in safe hands with her!”


About: 55 yrs of all different types of animal care. Horses, cows, pig, chickens, ducks, dogs, cats, guineapigs, hamsters, tropical fish, birds, lizards. Appreciate them all. I drive Uber and I am very flexible throughout the day as I can start and stop when I need to. I don’t want late late nights tho. I have no issue coming to your house for short or long visits, going for a walk or even staying over if needed. My biggest worry is a large animal, like a dog that would drag you instead of having proper manners.

About: Hello! My name is Beth, I am 33 years old and animals are what bring me the most amount of joy in this world! I’ve been an animal lover my whole life and I always put their needs and well-being ahead of my own. I have previous professional experience working for two separate animal care companies, managing a pet store, and working for a pet/veterinarian product distribution office. Outside of my professional experience I have rescued and fostered animals my entire life. I have experience with dogs, cats, small animals, horses, sheep… and brothers that could be considered as animals (haha). For dogs, I am comfortable with all breeds/sizes and temperaments. I have experience in the following areas: • Extensive knowledge with pet health and dietary needs • Extensive knowledge in pet behaviour • Administering medication • Working with and loving reactive/fearful dogs • Puppy / kitten care • Senior dog and cat care • Working with other “high needs” animals who may have disabilities or medical requirements I am happy to continue working on training and keeping your pet(s) routines as close to normal as possible. I am very perceptive to your pet(s) needs and my calm energy helps nervous pets to relax. I will make sure they are being smothered with love and having fun. If they require play time and walks, you got it! If they prefer to be a couch-potato, well then... I am now a couch-potato too! Pass me the popcorn! My schedule is wide open as I am a stay at home mom. My partner works 100% remote and can watch our son while I pop over to take care of your furry little loves. While in your home I will treat it with the utmost care and respect. I will ensure to keep your house clean and safe. I am able to water plants, bring in the mail, take out the garbage, take care of small critters and more. The last thing anyone needs after time away is to come home to more work! If I have missed anything, please do not hesitate to message me. I am happy to go through any questions or concerns that you may have. I hope to hear from you! I am a stay at home mom, and my partner works from home. I have a very flexible schedule as my partner can watch our little one while I pop over to take care of your fur-baby! I leave every home the way I find it and I always triple check the doors and windows before leaving. I follow all pet care and home care instructions with care and love.

Christina M.
“My name is Sara Maerz and I have known Christina Miller for 13 years. She is the kindest lady I've run into. She loves animals with a passion. I know if I ever needed someone to help me with any animal I have would be so so safe with her. I unfortunately don't own any anymore so I unfortunately can not use her as a doggy nanny. I would whole heartedly suggest Ms. Miller to anyone with any animal. She loves them like they are her own and that is one amazing quality she has. When I needed her help with my dog she was always there to help and support me. Ms. Miller is always going for walks and always jumped in to walk my baby's whenever I wasn't available.”
