About: From a very young age, my family had all kinds of animals. I have experience with many breeds of dogs, including Rottweilers, pit bulls, hunting dogs, and rescues, along with horses, pigs, a variety of birds, and hampsters, chinchillas, and a guinnea pig! I was a large animal vet tech (horses, cattle, goats and farm dogs!) before becoming a nurse, and I also grew up with a dog who had diabetes, and have helped several friends treat their puppies at home for Parvo. Also being a nurse, I'm very comfortable with giving injections, wound care, and coaxing your fur baby to take meds :) I work full time, but that still gives me 4 days off a week. I love to be outside and spend my time with animals, walking dogs is a great way to do both! I can be pretty flexible and early morning/late night visits to check on your critters aren't an issue at all for me. Hope to hear from you soon!

About: I have always loved animals and always been around them in my home. I have years of experience with feeding, exercising, and providing enrichment for both cats and dogs. I understand the importance of making sure they feel comfortable as well as respected during our time together. My goal is to ensure that your pet is happy, healthy, and cared for when you need a little extra help! I’m currently working part time, and have plenty of time to hangout with your fur babies. With my current seasonal hours slowing down, your pets can be guaranteed a sitter with pretty open availability! I have a large backyard and one level home for your fur baby. I have access to 5 miles of shaded and accessible trails as well as a dog friendly beach. My furniture is meant to be enjoyed by four-legged friends and I love taking them on “field trips” to many of the natural areas I have access to!

Janine was amazing watching our pets while we were away for a few days. Severus is a large dog and we trusted Janine to take him out for walks and to care for him. Our cat was very playful and rambunctious and she kept him entertained. We were able to rest assured on our trip that the animals were in good hands during their first weekend without us. Thank you, Janine!

Emmanuel was an amazing pet sitter! He watched my 5 fur babies while I was gone for a week and they got along with him so well! He was very attentive to my fur babies and he enjoyed time spent with them! He treated them like they were his own. He was very communicative, providing me daily updates with adorable pictures and videos! He even got my antisocial cat to warm up to him and interact with him, which was a 1st! He also did a great job keeping the place clean while caring for the fur babies. I feel like my pets definitely lucked out with having an amazing sitter and new friend! I would highly recommend booking Emmanuel as your next pet sitter!

Angie is absolutely amazing. Took a last second booking and was able to stay at the house and watch the dogs. The dogs loved her, the house was taken well care of during her visit. Would recommend 10/10. If we leave town, we will be rebooking.

We have two Great Danes that can be intimidating when you first meet them, but Antonio was great with them. We came back from our trip to very happy dogs and cats! Antonio had great communication, was easy to work with, and treated our pets like his own. Will definitely use him again and highly recommend!

Before booking Monika, I was pretty nervous about leaving Rosie with someone I didn’t know. I felt so much better after our meet and greet because of how sweet and professional she was. Throughout the whole process of being away Monika was very communicative, providing ample pictures and Rosie updates. I seriously couldn’t have asked for a better experience or a better person to watch Rosie. I highly recommend her as a top quality caregiver for anyone’s pup!

Lisa did an amazing job house sitting the week we were out of town. She was very accommodating with our last minute request/booking, and was very knowledgeable on working with pets, therefore streamlining this whole process. She was very communicative and always kept us in the loop of the wellbeing of our pets while we were gone. As a house sitter, Lisa displayed many signs of etiquette and respected our property. All-in-all, I'm in a much more calmer state of mind knowing that whenever I need to take vacation, I know who to call. Thank you so much Lisa! <3

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you are looking for someone to trust completely with your fur babies, look no further than Morgan — she is absolutely exceptional! We were away for two full weeks on an international trip to Dubai and Egypt, and the only reason we could truly relax and enjoy every moment of our travels was knowing that Zack and Gia were in Morgan's loving, capable hands. That peace of mind is priceless. Morgan didn't just "watch" our dogs — she genuinely cared for them as if they were her own. Two weeks is a long time to be away from your pets, and she made the whole experience seamless and stress-free. We came home to two happy, healthy, well-loved pups who were clearly comfortable and content the entire time we were gone. Her communication was top-notch — responsive, reassuring, and she kept us updated without us ever having to wonder how Zack and Gia were doing. That level of attentiveness says everything about her dedication and professionalism. Morgan is warm, trustworthy, and truly passionate about the animals in her care. She has earned a client for life, and we cannot recommend her highly enough. If you want your pets treated like royalty while you're away, Morgan is your person — 10 out of 10, without hesitation!

About: I’ve been caring for cats since I was 12 years old and grew up around cats and other animals. I genuinely love cats and enjoy providing them with attentive, compassionate care. I work full-time but I get off at 3:45 PM on the week day, which makes me very flexible for evening care, drop-ins, and overnight pet sitting. When pet sitting, I usually care for pets in the client’s home. Clients provide detailed instructions for their pets’ routines, and I carefully follow their directions to ensure consistency, comfort, and proper care.
