“Stephanie did a great job with my cat Pepper. She was very communicative the entire time and made sure that everything was taken care of while I was away. Thank you so much Stephanie!”


“Sophia was amazing! My shy elderly cat really warmed up to her. There was a slight emergency that happened while I was gone and she did a great job communicating what was happening and keeping me up to date. My flight home was delayed and she was able to take on an extra half day. Sophia really cares about your animals safety and wellbeing and I am so grateful for her! My cat is usually hesistant around new people but she really seemed to have a special touch”


“Nicole did what no one except me could do - she made friends with Bella! I'm super happy that Bella was in great hands and I hope Nicole is available every time I need a sitter!”


“So wonderful to have met Lynne! She was great with my anxious dogs and I appreciated that she did the meet and greet and got to know them ahead of time! They currently can't be at home alone and so it was great peace of mind to be able to leave them with her. We'll definitely be booking again. Thank you Lynne!”


“Leigh did a phenomenal job taking care of our cat Tipex. She kept us updated about Tipex’s behavior and needs, and she sent us many pictures and videos. Thank you Leigh!😊”


“Grateful for the consistent visits while away and response to communication and clarification on instructions. My critters seemed content and well cared for when we returned.”


“Thomas watched our kitty while we were on vacation. We just lost another cat very unexpectedly and were very worried about leaving Cathew alone for this long without his brother for the first time. Thomas was amazing. He came every day and sent pictures, a small check in, and made sure Cathew had everything he needed. I would hire him again in a minute.”


About: With my fiancé I own a mini dachshund, Rosie! I grew up with cats, and have loved both cats and dogs my whole life. Already a sitter for family and friends, and now you! For daycare/boarding, Rosie will be here at my home, so if your dog loves making friends we are a perfect match. Happy to have a meetup prior as well to have our pups meet. I work full time during the week, often from home, and am available for some evenings/overnights on weekdays. On weekends I am more flexible for walks and drop ins. I have an apartment with a couple of nice parks nearby and quiet streets for walks. Rosie also lives here (mini dachshund), so your dog must be comfortable with small dogs (and Rosie loves making friends!). Apartment best suited for small/medium dogs.

About: I’ve had pets and been around animals my whole life, and truly adore all breeds. I know how important keeping to a schedule is for your pets and have always been a reliable person once I commit to a task. I have experience caring for my own pets as well as other family members pets. I am self employed and make my own hours so I can easily pop in during the day to walk, feed or check in on your pets! At your home, I will be respectful of your space and the way you cater to your pet and their needs, I’ll leave it as I found it! I want to build a relationship to get to know you and your pet so everyone feels comfortable.

About: With a lifetime of experience caring for animals—including multiple cats and a beloved dog growing up—I understand the unique personalities and needs of both feline and canine companions. I currently share my home with a sweet cat, and I treat every pet I care for like family. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, or just some comforting company, I’m here to provide reliable, loving care. I currently work full time (hybrid) as an accountant and am open to discussing a schedule that works best for you and your pet! On typical work from home days and weekends I am flexible with pet care throughout the day, and office days I am available before 7:30 am and after 5:30 pm. I value pets safety and would carefully follow instructions and limitations/resources for each pet within their home. We have an indoor cat and I understand the importance of keeping them safe!

“Laurel was very communicative and conscientious taking care of my kitty while I was away. She also sent very regal looking photos and a cute video, which was very appreciated. I'd book her again easily!”

“Kaitlyn is an awesome dog walker/drop in visitor! Typically I work from home but had a 3 in office days this week and she understood Mabel’s anxiety perfectly and let her out and walked as much as Mabel was comfortable. So lucky to have found her!”


“Shiroq took great care of my cat while I was traveling! She had no trouble giving my cat medication and was very thorough in getting all the details she needed before I left. Would feel confident booking with her again :)”

He meticulously asked about her care regimen, my preferences around how she gets handled, and left me feeling super confident.

She treats them like they are her own and they love her so much. My dogs get very excited every time they see her. She’s very reliable, trusting and pet friendly. I always recommend her to anyone who needs their pet taken care of.”


ELIZABETH H.
“My family has a small Chihuahua named Stella who is about 14 years old, she is a member of our family and can be skittish to strangers. We hired Elizabeth to watch her for a week while we were away and she treated Stella with the outmost love and care. Stella was quick to trust Elizabeth, sitting in her lap almost immediately. We got daily updates as to how she was doing and even a video of her having fun at the dog park. Elizabeth made us feel comfortable and at ease while being away as we knew Stella was in great hands. Elizabeth has a wonderful caring heart and we look forward to using her in the future for all doggie needs. You can count on her to take great care of any furry friend you have.”
