“Kade took care of our pup and new kitten when we were in a pinch for a sitter. They took the time out of their schedule for a meet and greet and had no problem following our care instructions. Our pup and kitten took to them immediately and we felt so reassured they were safe under Kade’s care! Thank you so much Kade for your help, and we would absolutely recommend booking Kade for any of your sitting needs!”


“Marge was awesome! We needed a last minute dog walker and she was quick to respond/accept. She even made time to come over the day before to get Lola familiar with her. Highly recommend!”


“Devin was a life saver squeezing some dog walks in around the holidays. Thanks for being punctual & communicative about how things went Devin!”


“Kate was so great! She really went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable before leaving my baby to her. It shows how much she really cares about your dog. She had no problem handling my huge Great Dane and easing his worries while I was away. I would not hesitate to rebook her again!”


“Kathleen has been absolutely wonderful! I have a new dog with some increased needs and she has been so patient and flexible with her. She always provides thorough updates with lots of pictures which puts me at ease while I'm at work during the day. She happily takes on any requests I have and I feel very confident leaving my dog in her care! I can tell she really cares about the pets she is watching.”


“I forgot to book my walks for the week and I work 12 hour shifts, so it is imperative that my tiny guy ( who refuses to go inside on puppy pads) be taken out. Bridgette saved the day, even with such short notice. My dog also loves her. I definitely recommend her to anyone.”


“Lila was a joy, and the relief I needed in my busy work week! I have never used Rover before, but booked her for a week of walks when I was in a scheduling pinch. She was very reliable, arriving right on time each day, and provided me a fun summary of my dogs’ demeanors...and was always very pleasant (even though I’m sure my puppy was a handful at times!). Thanks so much Lila, I would highly recommend you.”


About: I grew up feeding both my mastiff mix Lilly and cat Kitty and walking Lilly daily. In college, I took care of a husky-mix, walking and feeding him daily. I’m currently working part-time so my schedule is pretty flexible! I am available for walks and feedings and can come check on your pet any time. I have experience with crate-training and know and will always strive to respect your personal house rules. I understand each and every pet parent has their own special relationship with their pets and I want to honor that as best as I can.

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember.. Growing up with everything from cats and dogs to rabbits, spiders, ferrets and even the occasional rescue critter. Caring for animals has always come naturally to me, and I truly feel at home when I’m surrounded by furry friends. I absolutely adore cats! Their quirky personalities & quiet cuddles melt my heart & I love the energy & companionship dogs bring. Whether it’s playtime, long walks, or just keeping your pet company while you’re away, I treat every animal with the same love & care I give my own. My schedule has its quirks, but it works in your pet’s favor! Tuesdays and Thursdays are actually my most flexible days, perfect for morning and evening walks or extended hangouts with your furry companion. As a full-time grad student and part-time social worker, my hours can be a little unpredictable but I always make time for what matters. Even with a busy calendar, caring for animals is a priority I never push aside. Whether it’s a midday drop-in or a sunset stroll, I’m happy to fit in the love and attention your pet deserves. Safety, trust, and a calm environment are at the heart of the care I provide. Whether I’m coming to your home for a walk, a cuddle session, or staying for an overnight house sit, I treat your space and your pets with the utmost respect and care. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your furry family member in someone else’s hands, and I take that responsibility seriously. I follow any routines you’ve set, keep their environment clean and peaceful, and make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved at all times. Whether it’s daily check-ins, long walks, or overnight companionship, I show up with patience, attention, and genuine care.

“Emmalee has taken the time to get to know our dog and he has taken to her very quickly and he is a very sensitive soul so that speaks volumes! Really happy and relaxed knowing she is caring for him, would definitely recommend.”


“Candace continues to be patient and understanding in working with Merlin. She is attending training sessions to help with establishing communication/confidence building/trust with my still somewhat challenging Merlin.”

About: I first began pet-sitting with dogs & cats around my neighborhood when I was 11, and since then I’ve met a wide array of pet personalities that I’ve learned to handle with the utmost care and respect. I’m a college student working part-time this summer, so I have plenty of time to spend taking care of furry friend(s)! My availability is open on the weekends, as well as Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Although I’m typically busy Tuesday and Thursday evenings, I can shift my schedule around to accommodate your pet’s needs. I have a sweet Calico named Mimi at home who I love to brush and feed daily, with special attention devoted to her diet and litter since she has a medical condition. For any pet, I’d be willing to devote as much care and energy as I would for my own because I try to provide all animals I encounter with the love and respect they deserve. I take my client’s boundaries around their homes and pets very seriously, and I do my best to follow the instructions provided to a tee.

“Sophie was great with Chef! Quickly responded to messages and gave Chef a great long walk even on a gloomy day. She was very detail oriented and gave great care to our big guy. Would love to have her spend time with Chef again.”


“Cat was an amazing sitter for our pittie and kitten while we were out of town for the weekend! When our initial plan of house sitting didn’t work out, she offered to do as many drop ins as we needed and even accommodated an extra visit the day of our departure. Our meet and greet went so well with her and Kurama and Bella took to her immediately. She followed my laundry list of instructions to a t, sent us multiple updates throughout the day and was always so communicative with us. Thank you Cat for all of your help. We had no doubt that our kiddos were in great hands. If you need a reliable sitter we would absolutely recommend Cat!”


About: I love being outside, so I'll be happy to take your dog wherever they want to go. I grew up with pets so there's never been a time in my life when I didn't have a dog. I believe in safety first and taking extra safety precautions. I'm pretty flexible, so if your dog has any special needs, or if there's anywhere in particular you'd like your dog to visit, just let me know. I’m currently working part time while starting a new endeavor so I have a lot of free time some days & I’m also very active I will ensure a clean, safe, stress free environment for your furry friend to be comfortable. I’m always near my phone so you can always check in.
