“Corey is the best! He has been regularly dropping in on my two pups for a few weeks now and they absolutely love him. He is reliable, punctual, and just has a kind and calming presence. He knows and understands dogs well, and that experience shows. I would trust him with my pets any day!”

“Angel was super attentive to my cats while I was away, and coordinated with me through complicated travel schedules to make sure they would get the care that they need! I’m super thankful for her 💙”

“Grace is amazing, she shows up and goes the extra mile. Fiona is a shelter dog with a personality and she handled her like a charm 10/10 would highly recommend.”

“I am beyond grateful for Alison’s exceptional care of my dog. Not only did they provide all the basics—feeding, walks, and playtime—but they went the extra mile to make sure my dog was safe during a snowstorm. She was incredibly. It was evident that Alison thought about my dog and when above and beyond and truly cares about animals, and I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such capable hands. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, thank you for your kindness and dedication!”

“Aleksandra was wonderful during her check ins with my 3 dogs—2 of which have medical needs and take medication multiple times each day (their care can be a lot to organize and accomplish in a short drop in). Aleks is super responsive, was flexible when the plans needed to change and made sure to give each of my girls plenty of love and attention. I will definitely reach out to her again for drop in visits and highly recommend her services to other pet parents!”

“Jillian has done multiple drop-in visits with my puppy. She is very trustworthy and great with animals. I'll definitely be reaching out to her as needed in the future and would highly recommend her to others as well! ?”

About: I worked at a shelter for a year and a half and then worked at an animal hospital for 3 years. I'm looking forward to meeting lots of new pet friends! I work for myself so I have plenty of time when I'm not out of town to take care of your pets. I love walking and it's much more fun with a pet! I am trained in giving medication and love cuddling with pets in my free time. I have worked in a shelter environment so I have dealt with many different pet personalities.
“Paige was amazing with our pups! Loved the pictures and the updates. Our dogs can be a handful, very loving and playful but a handful, haha. Paige took great care of them, was on time, and did a great job. Definitely book her!”

“Amazing sitter! My babies (she watched my rat terrier pup and holland lop bunny) aren’t used to new people in the apartment all the time, plus we just moved so new space. Stephanie took the time to make sure they were not only properly cared for with all the weird things that come with pets, but they quickly came to feel comfy around, love, and look forward to her visits I could tell! Would love her to sit anytime!”

“Absolutely wonderful sitter! Very thorough and even took the time to bond and play with our timid cat! Sent tons of photos and videos letting us know when/if our cat was eating/drinking/playing.”

“Crystal is great! She checked on my cat, Walter, followed instructions, and as super friendly, and great communicator. As an added bonus, she even swept floors, wiped down counters, etc! I will definitely reach out to Crystal in the future and 100% recommend her!”

About: I grew up with plenty of dogs in my family, and I was usually the designated dog sitter. All of my family and friends dogs grew up with me so I've delt with puppies and older dogs alike. I have watched dogs for months at a time and have enjoyed every last minute. I work a 9am-5pm from Mon-Fri so I am mostly busy then. I usually work from home the second half of the week so there is some flexibility on those days. But I have a completely open schedule Saturday and Sunday. If you do book for Fridays, please book drop off before 8:30am or after 2:00pm as I am meeting heavy during that time frame My apartment has a large grass yard for the dogs to play. I also love going on walks, so I am definitely willing to take them to parks. I own extra leashes, footies, beds, treats and other doggie essentials. If there are any concerns, I am willing to accommodate for dog.
“Hayley did a great job watching my cat while I was traveling for the holidays. Always punctual and incredibly attentive. She sent regular updates and pictures, showcasing genuine care. I would definitely recommend her to fellow pet owners.”
“Wendy was great! She took awesome care of our cat. She went above and beyond to send us updates on every visit (including pics). She is the best! Highly, Highly recommend!!”

About: As an experienced pet owner myself, I know that it takes someone special and trustworthy to take care of our fur babies. I have experience with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, you name it! And I know that leaving our pets is stressful, for humans AND pets! My entire goal is to make whatever you need a sitter for be the least stressful situation. With experience of over 7 years, I’m someone that when you leave for vacation, you can have the comfort of knowing that I will take care of your beloved pets with kindness, gentleness, and attentiveness. I have experience with giving medications, taking on walks, and following set schedules. As a full-time social worker/therapist, I have the warmth and compassion that families and pets need to feel comfortable. I also understand that everyone is in different places in life, which is what guides my flexibility with rates. I’m always willing to negotiate and make something work. I do this for fun more than anything, and I think everyone deserves quality pet care! I am a full time social worker, so pet sitting for me is more for me to have time with animals and form connections with them AND owners outside of what can be a pretty stressful job at times. I work M-F at my job, but I work in a school, so breaks are prime time for me to sit, as I’m not working regular hours and holidays are major travel times. Outside of breaks, I’m available for anything, such as house sitting, quick check ins for a feed, or a walk here and there! I make many things work! In my home, I care for my pet by taking them to scheduled vet check ups, give flea prevention medications and any other current medications, and ensure that their potty space is clean and healthy, so they can be clean and healthy too! I also follow all instruction that I am left with to ensure that pets are safe and cared for under my watch. I always double check and ask questions to be extra careful if I have any. I’d rather ask than mess up, and that’s the best philosophy in my eyes!
About: I grew up on a farm with pitbulls and cats, so I’m very comfortable with animals of all temperaments and have experience in giving them plenty of love and attention! I’m currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to help you with your needs! I’m available for overnight boarding all nights but on Tuesdays and Thursdays I am only available after 530. I have a fenced in yard that’s perfect for safe outdoor playtime. I make sure each pet’s routine is followed, from feeding and walks to cuddle time and rest. I also keep a close eye on them during outdoor activities to ensure they’re happy, healthy, and secure.
