“So glad I found Stephanie to take care of my GSD, it was a last min request, Stephanie was very sweet to accommodate all the last min changes, sent immediate updates of my dog with pictures. I’ll be definitely seeking Stephanie’s help to take care of my fur babies in future too”


“I had a last minute request to watch my 3 dogs. I appreciate that she took the time to meet the boys before the assigned days. She is punctual and thorough. I will definitely reach out again for her help.”


“I am repeated client with Melissa and I really trust her with my beloved cat Oakley! She truly spends time with him and gives him much needed attention while we are away! Thank you!”


“Laura did a great job with our kitties! She even took the time to bring in boxes from our porch. We have an older cat with an unusual no-litter situation which she was very willing to work with. It helped make our vacation less stressful knowing our boys were in good hands!”


“Patti was great with our kitties while we were away on a last minute weekend trip! She even stopped by an extra morning to feed them after we got stuck at the airport. Got frequent updates and the kitties seemed very comfortable when we returned!”

“Very understanding and accommodating! I had an issue with a door code while out of town and she was able to work with me to fix it. Would highly recommend and use again when needed.”


“Tabby is absolutely wonderful. My pups and kitty had a lovely time with her. I could tell they were really comfortable while I was gone. She has watched them multiple times at this point and I will definitely be booking her for services again whenever I am headed out of town.”


“Emily took great care of our two cats while we were away. She was always in communication, giving updates and sending pictures, and went above and beyond when we asked for extra help with small items. We were very comfortable knowing that our cats were so well taken care of. We will definitely book with Emily again. Thank you!”


About: I’ve been pet sitting (dog and cat) for 5 years now. The spaces I’ve lived in unfortunately don’t allow most animals, so I’ve had the opportunity to pet sit at all my clients’ home. Feeding, walking, playing, cuddling, constant monitoring and attention to detail. Any special instructions left for me to follow will be followed fully and carefully. Soon I should be in a position to host pets, but for now I am willing to come to you! I work from home most days of the week and my job tends to be most busy at the beginning of the day. I would be able to step away the best around the 12-1pm range on Monday, Thursday and Friday. After 4:30pm works best on Tuesday through Friday. Saturdays and Sunday’s are more flexible with times all day generally open (earlier is better for Saturday, later is better for Sunday). Right now I have 2 cats. They stay in the house at all times and do not leave the property unless being taken to the vet. When caring for my clients’ pets I will follow any specific/special instructions given for me to follow. Otherwise I follow the essentials - feeding, walking, playing and cuddles (for dogs). When walking I do try to steer clear of other dogs, children and heavy traffic areas.

About: I grew up with plenty of dogs in my family, and I was usually the designated dog sitter. All of my family and friends dogs grew up with me so I've delt with puppies and older dogs alike. I have watched dogs for months at a time and have enjoyed every last minute. I work a 9am-5pm from Mon-Fri so I am mostly busy then. I usually work from home the second half of the week so there is some flexibility on those days. But I have a completely open schedule Saturday and Sunday. If you do book for Fridays, please book drop off before 8:30am or after 2:00pm as I am meeting heavy during that time frame My apartment has a large grass yard for the dogs to play. I also love going on walks, so I am definitely willing to take them to parks. I own extra leashes, footies, beds, treats and other doggie essentials. If there are any concerns, I am willing to accommodate for dog.

“Thea is an excellent caretaker; she helped us out by watching Bendle on short notice. She communicated throughout her stay, sent us lots of photos, and made sure our pet got lots of attention and care while they were together. We came home to a happy cat with all of our packages moved inside. Will definitely rebook again. Thank you, Thea!”


“Paige was amazing with our pups! Loved the pictures and the updates. Our dogs can be a handful, very loving and playful but a handful, haha. Paige took great care of them, was on time, and did a great job. Definitely book her!”


“Can’t recommend enough. She came to the first visit with a notepad to take notes and accommodated request flawlessly. I came home to very happy pets.”
