“Lexi took care of my two cats for 4 days over the Christmas holiday. She is reliable, friendly and competent as a pet caregiver. My cats were happy and relaxed when I returned home, proving they were well cared for. I will definitely hire Lexi again.”

“It was really important for us to find a sitter who could take care of our newly diabetic cat and McKenna was so great. Fang and our other cats seemed very happy when we got back and we received pictures and updates every time she visited which is always makes me feel so much better. We will rebook McKenna anytime!!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs for a very long time. I cannot walk past a dog without asking it’s owner if I can pet and give their dog love. I grew up with cats and have cared for my friends cat when they went away. I have taken care of friends dogs as well while they vacationed. I’m currently off for the summer as I work in the school system, I have lots of availability. I will be retiring this November and will be more available after Thanksgiving. I live on 14 acres of land, my property abuts the woods, my dog is trained to stay within the yard, I would be outside with the dogs and would not be opposed to leashing them if the families would feel more comfortable. Dogs will also have free range inside my home.

“Amanda is amazing! I felt like our beloved cat (and our house) were in really good hands with Amanda, it was incredible peace of mind having her care for our girl!”

“Irene took care of my two kitties very well. They are very shy and didn’t come out to see her, but she made sure they had food and cleaned up after them.”

“Dakota is a lovely and attentive caregiver. My older lady cat needs a daily visit and Dakota was thoughtful and great in her communication. Odie was much more happy and relaxed when I returned. Will definitely work with Dakota again!”

About: I have raised 3 dogs from puppy through adulthood with great love and attention. Looking forward to helping others with their beloved pets! Our home is heaven for any dog or cat. My wife and I both work from home so we're always around to provide attention, playtime, walks, feedings, grooming, etc. Our dog Moreno is super friendly and agreeable with other dogs and cats. Our son loves them too! Multiple walks a day, leashed or off depending on the dog. Gated porch for fresh air time. Dog beds, toys, lots of space for people and pets!

About: I’ve been caring for pets practically my entire life! I love animals and have always loved enoyed providing a safe space for them. I’ve cared for cats, dogs, birds, fish and snakes. I’m currently working part-time, and my schedule varies a bit week to week. I am free mornings and evenings, most Thursdays, as well as Mondays after 2 pm. I usually work shifts under 8 hours, so with good communication I would be thrilled to come up with a plan that will suit you and your pet(s). For now, I am able to care for and board cats and small animals in my home. In the summer, I can board dogs in my fenced in yard. For dogs and larger animals, I can take them for walks and pet sit by traveling to your home. I look forward to meeting you and your pet(s)! I have managed to ensure my pet rabbit feels safe while also living with a rambunctious one-year-old labrador retriever. I am always cautious about my pets and my clients’ pet’s whereabouts. I’ve helped return missing neighborhood cats and dogs to their owners as well as assist with unexpected visits to the vet.

“Keri is great—friendly, professional, and you can tell she really loves animals. We trust her completely to care for our 3 cats while we’re gone. What more could you ask for?”

About: I have worked with herding dogs, guard dogs, sled dogs, service dogs, and pets of all ages. I treat dogs with patience and compassion and believe in training the individual dog in front of me with their owner’s goals at the forefront! I have thousands of hours of hands on experience and countless hours researching training and animal behavior. I am a self-employed artist so my schedule is very flexible. I am happy to go into more detail about my living habits and daily schedule. My dog doesn’t “get into” anything he shouldn’t— including “stealing” his own food and treats, but through experience with my own puppies and client dogs I am well versed in taking extensive precautions to ensure the safety of animals in my home. I will not allow client dogs off leash but I have a 50 foot leash that is excellent for hiking with dogs. I am very observant of potential health issues/injuries. I am happy to expand upon the safety measures I take.

About: I have taken care of my own dog for his whole life until he passed early this year. I have dog sat for friends, family, and coworkers a lot and have taken them for walks or stayed the night! I am in grad school currently and will be able to stay over on the weekends and play with the dogs anytime after 4 in the upcoming semester! I am used to crating dogs and taking them for sage walks, especially in the winter and summer months. I love to give a routine and will make sure to follow all guidelines provided!

“Trista was wonderful! She sent great pictures of all the pets. They all look so happy and well cared for. Great communication and followed all instructions. You can tell she really cares for your pets. We would highly recommend! 😊”

“Daniella took such amazing care of our sweet Gandalf, while he was sick and needed to take medicine orally. He didn’t make it easy but she was patient, kind, and kept our home in great condition while we were away so it was lovely to return home to. THANK YOU DANIELLA!”

About: I have always lived in household with a minimum of 3 dogs, dogs have been my companions before I could walk. Now I’m always with my service dog, Winnie. I worked with a program to train my own service dog. He’s a friendly little golden retriever, and a fast friend. During his training I learned the importance of trust routine, and patience with dogs. I’m currently working part time from 7:30 to 2 pm Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and 10-3 on Saturdays. I am always up for hiking or a short walk with dogs. I have a service dog who comes with me everywhere, he’s a gentle and easy friend, and generally good with other dogs. He’s just as happy to play as he is to nap.
