About: I've helped to take care of 6 dogs through their entire lifespan, from puppyhood to their golden years, loving every second of the way! I have also been hired by neighbors to watch after cats and fish while they were away on longer trips. I worked briefly as a dog daycare attendant, but now work as a writer at home, and am thrilled by the opportunity to help you care for your wonderful furry family. Pet care is my main priority throughout the week and weekends, and I write in the mornings and evenings. However I can be of assistance, I will! I have my own dog, Luna, a 35 pound mixed-breed rescue, and I treat her like family, because she is family! I would be honored to discuss how you care for your pets, and what I can do to make them feel at home as I help look after them.
“Once again, Eric knocked it outta the park with quality, time, and attention! Was able to take a 4 day trip without having to worry for a minute about the cats. He did great with all medications, kept me updated on the status of our cats, and when I wasn’t available to answer questions, he took all the right steps. Highly recommend, as usual!!”

“Chloe is an excellent dog sitter! She comes on time, makes sure my dog is taken out, and fed. She also walks and plays with her. She is very responsive and will ask if anything is needed. I also like her pricing as it is affordable. I definitely recommend her as a sitter!”

About: I have owned dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, I really love all animals, I have worked with animals young and old, along with some sick and am able to provide any necessary care:) I am currently on summer break from school, I work as a swim instructor and dog walk/ pet sit on the side for fun and to help any families with pets, I am completely open to making time for pets who need caring for! I will provide 100% safety when it comes to pets, I know that pets are truly part of the family and how important it is to care for animals specific to their needs. When it comes to feeding, walking, enrichment, medicine, comfort, I am completely confident in my ability to fulfill those needs:)
“Stephanie was amazing. I cannot speak highly enough of her. She is kind and considerate, trustworthy, punctual, and amazing with my cat. I recently lost my other cat a few weeks before I left for vacation, and Stephanie came twice a day, every day, and made sure my remaining cat, Marley, was kept company and alright through his grief and my absence. I’m pretty sure Marley likes Stephanie more than he likes me now!! During her check ins Stephanie sent tons of photos and videos of him and it was something I looked forward to everyday. I cannot recommend Stephanie enough and I look forward to having her over again the next time I am away. Thank you Stephanie!!!!”

“We loved having Julia for drop-in visits for our two dogs! One of our dogs, Chip, was recently adopted (<1 week), so we were nervous leaving him, but Julia took such good care of them and it gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. She was also very flexible with our different needs, such as feeding at evening drop-ins, followed all the instructions, was very responsive and sent lots of photos of each visit, which helped me worry less about Chip. I would definitely recommend Julia to care for your fur babies!”

“Kristen is amazing!!! She needed to shovel her way in to feed our cats one night, *and* she had to clean up one of my forgetful messes, but Kristen stops at nothing to make sure our home and pets are well cared for! She also managed to befriend my very suspicious cats— no easy feat! Will definitely use Kristen again when needed! 🙌🙌”

“This is our first experience with Rover, we were unsure about it at first but Nicole was amazing! She went as scheduled and we got a sweet and detailed update every day. It's obvious how much she loves cats, our kitty walked right up to her at the meet and greet so he could tell too! We are so grateful to Nicole for giving him so much love while we were away!”

“Ryan was really great! Our cat, Ollie, is a senior with health issues who requires a daily pill and 3 feedings per day. Ryan took care of it all and sent pics from each visit. It was great knowing that he was checking in with Ollie and keeping him company for a bit each day while we were away. Thanks, Ryan!”


“Amy has cat sit for us several times now and is very reliable and responsive. Our cats liked her immediately when they met her. Amy has given us great peace of mind that our cats are well cared for when we are away!”

“Christy was great! Appreciate the clear communication and updates on my kitties. Even though our group is shy, she made sure to snap pics from their hiding spots. She also went above and beyond bringing in a package we’d had delivered taking it in from the front steps. Thank you!”
“I highly recommend Kay for watching your pet. Kay was prompt with the appointments I scheduled and sent me pictures during the day she watched our dog. I look forward to being a repeat customer of Kay’s, thank you Kay for taking care of Jenny for us.”

About: I am a dog lover who has dogs my whole adult life. I have many friends and neighbors with dogs of all sizes that I have spent time with and babysat as needed! I am an elementary teacher with availability on weekends and during the summer I have much greater daily availability. I have a 5 year old friendly and submissive lab mix.

I have a large fenced in yard and a very friendly 5 year old lab mix who is always looking to meet and welcome new friends. I am an avid walker and used to walking 2 dogs at time.
“Lucille is everything you would want for pet care. She’s thorough, experienced & reliable. Even when I feel like I’m being over the top she will think of something I’m not! She’s so good with animals, your pet will sense her genuine affection & feel safe & loved. They are in good hands until your back.”

She took such wonderful care of our girls and was always so communicative, professional, gentle, and encouraging with them. It makes such a difference when we’re out of town knowing they’re in such good hands. She came twice a day to make sure they were happy, cared for, and had lots of fun playtime. We’re so grateful for all her care and attention!

I am so grateful for the incredible care Christy gave my cat while I was away. She was caring, dependable, wonderfully communicative, and clearly adored him. Chef was relaxed, happy, and completely himself when I returned - which says everything!! I would recommend her without hesitation!
