“Margaret was perfect. She was very accommodating, easy to work with etc. It appears that our two cats liked her a lot and I think she liked them also. She sent several cute photos. She left the house very neat and clean. We were very lucky to find her on relatively short notice. We will certainly hire her again if our needs and her availability coincide in the future.”
“When Ben came for his meet and greet, right away he got down on the floor with our 16+ year old 4 pound dog and she moved right in to meet him. He has that magic touch where she can immediately tell that he loves animals. He lights up when talking about animals. He loves them all and seems to also be attracted to helping animals with problems. As our little one is older, she can't hear and also has some vision problems. She moves slowly, but he was very willing to take her for a walk and she loved it. He took photos of the walk. I liked Ben so much that I have hired him for other dates with my dog. I highly recommend him.”
About: My mother is a veterinarian with her own practice, so I grew up around an abundance of animals and know plenty about caring for them. My career allows me to choose my own schedule, I don't usually have shifts longer than 5/6 hours long. This allows me to take dogs out for walks or to a dog park, or I can just go home and hang out with my cat. I have a large fenced in yard with access to woods, plenty of local trails for dog walks, local lake of your dog likes to swim. Dogs and cats in my home, but there's a good sized guest bedroom that is kept closed of from the rest of my home if you have a pet that is less friendly with others.
“Moriah was all-around fantastic! She gave good, clear communication and took wonderful care of our senior cat, Mr. G. Having her housesit was such a relief when we were far from home. I would absolutely book her again!”
“Peter and Sarah are very nice people and I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog for 11 days with them. They do not work outside the home, so they are available most of the day. They took great care of my house (even watering my extensive garden which was above and beyond). Can't recommend them highly enough.”
“Sue was wonderful. Our dogs took minimal time being comfortable with her, where they normally take 15-30 min to warm up to people. When we returned home the dogs were happy and Sue left the house spotless. Thank you so much for a great experience, Sue!”

About: With years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and energy levels, I provide thoughtful, personalized care that goes beyond just feeding and walking. From spirited puppies to mellow senior cats, I’ve supported animals through every life stage—with plenty of love, patience, and play along the way. I’m confident handling multiple pets, giving medications (including oral and topical), and creating calm environments for anxious animals. I’ve worked with high-energy dogs who need structured adventure walks, and I’ve soothed shy rescue cats who just need quiet companionship and gentle care. My own life is full of furry friends, and I truly treat every pet like family. Whether your companion needs a hiking buddy, a cozy lap to nap on, or a sitter who takes litter box duties seriously—I’ve got you covered. As a homeschool mom who works from home, caring for pets fits seamlessly into my daily rhythm. Our days are structured but flexible, which means your pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and consistent care throughout the day. Whether it’s taking a dog on a midday adventure walk or giving a cat some quiet companionship while I work, your pet becomes part of our loving, pet-friendly home environment. My kids are gentle and respectful animal lovers, so there’s always someone nearby ready to offer an extra cuddle or throw a toy. Because I'm home most of the time, I’m able to give pets a calm, consistent presence—perfect for those who get anxious when their humans are away. Pet care isn’t a side gig—it’s part of our family’s lifestyle. I provide loving and attentive care in your pet’s own environment, helping them feel safe and comfortable while you're away. Whether it’s regular walks, playtime, or giving medications, I follow your pet’s routine to ensure consistency and minimize stress. I’m also happy to clean up after them, including litter boxes or any messes, to keep their space tidy and calm. During my visits, I focus on creating a nurturing, stress-free atmosphere for your pet. I’ll send you updates and pictures, so you can rest easy knowing your pet is in great hands. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, or extra cuddles, I’m dedicated to providing the best care, right in the comfort of your home.
