“I've said it before and I'll say it again, Sam is an excellent pet sitter!! She's responsible, thoughtful, and she has a calm energy about her that my cats love! I was nervous to leave my cats for a week because one of them was having constipation issues, but Sam rose to the occasion! She diligently observed the situation and kept me well informed about the cat's behavior and health. Sam was great at following all my crazy-cat-lady instructions and at administering medications! Sam also took good care of the plants and the house in general! Sam is forever at the top of my list (and my cats' list) for pet sitters!”

About: My name is Sarah and I'm a dog lover. I work full time as a nurse and on my days off I like to be active and go on walks or hikes. I'm excited for the weather to get warmer and for the flowers to start blooming. I love to throw the frisbee or playing tug-of-war. I am also happy to sit on the floor and watch TV or study while my new furry friend takes a nap. I have experience with overnight housesits and also cats if you ever need additional feline care. I currently have two cats of my own. I love to explore new neighborhoods and local parks on foot with a new furry companion. Message me with any questions that you may have!
About: I've been around dogs and cats my entire life and have been a dog mom for about 15+ years. My 16-year-old Dachshund, 7-year-old Border Collie mix and recently adopted senior cat are the only occupants of our home and we have a large fenced yard. I am currently working a hybrid schedule (Monday-Friday, 8-5p), usually working from home Thursday and Fridays, but can adjust if needed. My office is only 9 miles from my home (20 minute drive). I have a fenced yard and two friendly, chill dogs to play with your fur baby. I also have a large crate if needed. I am also within walking distance of a neighborhood park and about 5 minute drive to Mt. Tabor dog park.

Breann C.Star Sitter
“Bree is super responsible, reliable, and one of the best pet moms around. Her dogs and kitty are her children and she treats every animal she meets with the same amount of love and care. When I have to go out of town or need daycare for my high energy, large breed dog, she is always my first choice because I know she will provide structure, play, and lots of cuddles. I also always get tons of photos and updates, and she's always very quick to respond which provides huge peace of mind. Her dogs, Colt and Dash are super sweet boys and they are great with other dogs and super polite with kitties. Her cat, Haiku, is a sweet and mellow girl and tolerable of all types of animals as well. Bree has a large, completely fenced in yard and lives on a quiet street so you never have to worry about your pet getting out. You would be hard pressed to find a more dependable sitter than Bree that will treat your babies like they're her own.”
