“Demi was very responsive during pre-visit communications and made me feel confident going into my trip. She was on-time & followed instructions and gave good reports each drop-in to keep me informed. This was my first booking with Demi and she nailed it- will definitely book her again as needed!”

“This is a late review....Christina had pet sitter for my 3 babies in July for over a week span. Talk about someone who knows how to handle shy pets and very vocal pets! Christina did an EXCELLENT job looking in on my babies. I received a prompt visit report and Christina took the time to get to know my fur kids and spent time with them. If you are looking for a great fur sitter, Christina is THE ONE!”

About: I've been raised to love animals since childhood, and we've had numerous dogs and cats at home growing up. My mother taught me a great deal about treating animals with care and love. I am retired and am available for cat sitting on weekdays between 8 am to 5 pm. I look forward to doting on and pampering your precious ones when they are under my care. With utmost care and attention in your own home. I know that cats are happiest in their own home, doing their own routines. Their comfort is my top priority.

“Krystle was amazing with our cat! She helped with all the things I asked for and went above and beyond and helped with other things like ant invasion when we were away. She was extremely patient and sweet with our cat that was hiding under the couch during her visits. She was able to get our cat to play with her after couple of days, thanks to Krystle’s gentle approach. I was comfortable being away and knew that my cat was being treated well and taken care of. I 100% recommend Krystle! She’s truly the best. I’ll definitely reach out to her if I need a sitter again.”

“Jennifer followed my detailed instructions very well and sent me constant updates with pictures while I went on a long deserved vacation. Kitty got sick a week prior so I was worried that she hasn’t fully recovered. Luckily there were no issues. Thanks Jennifer for everything! Highly recommend to others.”

About: I have been taking care of various farm animals, dogs, and cats since as long as I can remember! I’ve also had pets my whole adult life, spanning from dogs, cats, rats, and reptiles! I am currently a part time college student, which means before 7pm, I have all the time in the world to hang out with your pets! I take care of others pets the same way I do, and i respect that as the important parts of families like they are. In my clients homes, I will make sure that their pets are able to have many different avenues of activity, while still keeping them safe, and providing the mental stimulation they need, meaning lick mats for dogs of any size, and different puzzle games for cats and dogs alike!

About: I have experience taking care of dogs because I grew up with them. Being around dogs has always felt natural to me, so I understand the basics of feeding them, walking them, playing with them, keeping them comfortable, and paying attention to what they need. I’m gentle, patient, and attentive, but I’m also playful, so I enjoy making sure dogs are not just cared for, but actually happy and engaged. I know every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I would always respect the owner’s instructions and take time to understand what works best for their dog. I’m currently in college and home for the summer, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I’m available for walks, playtime, drop-ins, and consistent care throughout the week. I’m happy to work with your dog’s routine and make scheduling easy for you. I care for pets by keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. In a client’s home, I would follow their instructions carefully, whether that includes feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication, or general house rules. I want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. For walks or visits, I would stay aware of my surroundings, keep dogs secure on their leash, avoid unsafe situations, and pay attention to how they’re acting. My goal is for the pet to feel cared for and for the owner to feel relaxed knowing their dog is safe and in good hands.

About: With over 16 years of experience in veterinary medicine and a lifetime of loving and caring for animals, I bring professional knowledge and genuine compassion to every pet I care for. My background includes veterinary assisting, client education, hospital management, and working alongside veterinarians to provide exceptional patient care. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and temperaments, including puppies, kittens, seniors, and pets with medical conditions or special needs. I am comfortable administering oral medications, monitoring behavior for signs of illness, following detailed care instructions, and maintaining daily routines. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I take the time to build trust, provide enrichment, and ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to give pet parents complete peace of mind knowing their furry family member is receiving experienced, attentive, and compassionate care. Pet care has always been a natural part of my life, both personally and professionally. I intentionally schedule my time so I can provide reliable, unhurried care and give each pet the individual attention they deserve. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, an extended walk, overnight companionship, medication administration, or simply someone to spend quality time with them, I am committed to maintaining their normal routine. I understand that consistency helps pets feel secure, and I pride myself on being dependable, punctual, and flexible whenever possible to meet the needs of both pets and their families. Your pet’s health, safety, and happiness are always my highest priorities. My veterinary background allows me to recognize subtle changes in behavior, appetite, mobility, or overall health that others may overlook. I carefully follow all feeding instructions, medication schedules, exercise requirements, and household routines exactly as requested. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your home with the same respect I would my own while creating a calm, low-stress environment for your pet. I use secure leashes and harnesses during walks, supervise outdoor time, monitor interactions with other animals, and provide plenty of affection, playtime, and enrichment. I also believe communication is key, so you’ll receive regular updates and photos, allowing you to relax knowing your beloved companion is in experienced, caring hands.

About: I’m a huge dog lover who’s very fortunate to have always been around them. I’ve grown up with big and small dogs and play with the dogs at the shelter regularly. My pup (10 year old terrier mix) gets daily walks, cuddles, and is best friends with all the small dogs at the dog park. Dogs are so loving and deserve to be treated with the same love and care. I am available early in the mornings everyday (before 10am and after 5pm on T and Th and before 2:30pm M,W,F.) I’m available all day on weekends and holidays. I try to stay home as much as I can. If I’m not home, my mom and older sister are. I feed them breakfast and then go on a neighborhood walk at around 8am. If they cannot walk, I have a pet stroller. When at home, they will lounge around inside or outside. Backyard door remains open during the day so they can come inside and outside as they please. The yard is fully fenced. If it’s a hot day I will give them a bath, set a fan, or go somewhere cooler like the marina.

About: I have 5 years of experience caring for dogs and cats in the animal shelter environment. I am truly passionate about my love for all pets and can’t wait to meet yours! I am comfortable with different sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I have an open schedule and availability for walks, drop-ins, or house sitting. I am so excited to meet and work with your furry babies! I am a clean and tidy person who stays well-organized. I can hangout and play with your pet at home or take them out for a walk with proper gear.

About: I’ve grown up with all kinds of animals from dogs to also small animals and reptiles. I’ve grown with dogs through all stages of their life from puppies to senior dogs. I feel I’ve always been empathetic to what animals may want/need, able to read their body language, always up for playing or cuddling, etc. I currently have a high energy mixed dog that I’ve trained myself. I’ve cared for her through being a puppy, her needs after surgeries, giving medications, helping comfort through anxiety, and playing throughout the day to take care of her energy needs. I have a big back yard if you need day care and your dog would have a companion to play with! We take daily walks that we’d love to have your pup join! I am a stay at home mom so I have complete availability to help care for your pets! I currently walk my dog every morning, but that can be adjusted to fit your needs for your dog to be walked. Because I’m a stay at home mom, day care is completely open for your pet to be at my house. We allow pets on furniture so your pet can be comfortable. Our dog is high energy so your pup can also get some energy out! Our backyard is very big to accommodate any running/playing they’d like to do. If daycare isn’t needed, I’m completely available to check in on your pet anytime as well! If your pet is coming to my house, it is completely open for your pet to feel comfortable and explore their surroundings. Our back door is always open so they can use the bathroom when they want to or also play and run around with our dog! Water is always out and available. If you’d like check ins at your home, I would of course respect your home and privacy. Nothing would be touched unless necessary to care for your animal the way you’re asking me to. Whatever your needs are, I will completely follow.

I currently work remotely from home during the week and available to care for pets after 3:00pm Monday-Friday.
