We absolutely love using Caitlin and will only ever use her when possible! Our animals are always extremely well taken care of and the communication is more than we could ever ask for. We always know our furry friends are in the best hands when we have her check in on them. Will reccomend over and over again!

I had a great mini-vacation because all my pets were very well taken care of. I'm even planning my next vacation and I want Brittany to pet sit because my animals definitely loved her. Some pet sitters before never even saw my cats, but Brittany saw all of them and even got to pet and love on them. That to me means a lot! My almost 15 year old dog was very well cared for and Brittany definitely showed patience with her. I'd recommend Brittany to anyone looking for a pet sitter.

Best sitter you can ask for. Shemoy would drop in for a visit to check on my babies. She’d make sure they got exercise, cleaned any messes, and sent the cutest photos on her way out. 10/10 would recommend!

I needed a dog sitter last minute while I was away and Tia was able to care for my 3 dogs on short notice. She kept me informed on her visits with my babies and sent photos of them. It gave me a peace of mind knowing they were in good hands.

About: With 15 years of experience, animals aren’t just my job, they’re my world. I bring genuine love and dedication to every pet in my care, whether they’re a playful pup, a curious kitten, or a wise senior companion. Beyond standard sitting services, I offer full grooming care including bathing, brushing, nail trims, teeth cleaning, and ear cleaning, so your pet comes home not just happy, but fresh and well-tended. Having these skills in-house means less stress for your pet and more convenience for you. Cats and dogs both hold a special place in my heart, and after 15 years, I’ve learned how to make every animal feel safe, comfortable, and loved, just like they would at home.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Pet care is woven into every part of my day. My mornings start with feeding, walks, and making sure every animal in my care gets one on one attention before anything else. Throughout the day I check in on their needs, whether that is playtime, grooming, or just some quiet companionship. Evenings are for winding down together, because pets thrive on consistency and I make sure they always feel settled and secure. This is not something I squeeze into my schedule. It is my schedule. Animals are my priority seven days a week, and that kind of commitment is something every pet owner deserves to know their sitter has. Whether I am in your home or mine, my goal is always the same, to make your pet feel safe, loved, and right at home. I tailor my care to each animal’s personality and routine, because no two pets are alike. When caring for pets in my home, they become part of my daily life. They sleep comfortably, play freely, and receive constant attention throughout the day and night. I keep things calm and nurturing so even nervous or anxious pets can relax and settle in. When visiting clients in their own homes, I follow your pet’s established routine as closely as possible. Familiar surroundings make a big difference, especially for cats and older pets who do best in their own environment. I handle everything from feeding and walks to grooming and cuddle time, so your home stays in order and your pet stays happy. Either way, you can count on updates and peace of mind knowing your fur baby is in experienced, caring hands.

Kathleen is a wonderful person, willing to help with almost anything. I’m recovering from back surgery and can’t do a lot around the house. She took care of my cats and did some light cleaning

I highly recommend James to keep your fur babies company while you're away! He dropped in to watched my two kitties over several days and I came back to a clean space and happy cats. He sent an abundance of photos and updates which helped ease my worries about them being alone. Thank you James!

Caitlyn was a phenomenal sitter for my boys! I knew she was kind with animals from the start—my cat let her rub his belly immediately during the meet-and-greet 😊 She went out of her way for me several times in two days. When I was nervous that I hadn’t seen one of my cats on a camera, she rushed over to check on them before she was scheduled to. Her responsiveness is SO appreciated. My cats were in safe hands with Caitlyn and I will definitely be booking with her in the future! 🙏🏼

OMGOODNESS! Above, beyond and far exceeding anything we could have hoped for in a sitter! The check-ins were the highlight of our trip every day. Knowing they were in such safe and competent hands made it easy for us to be away. And all of our ladies loved Grace!!!!! Simply the BEST.
