“This was our first time booking drop in visits with Marissa and she was amazing! We have very finicky cats and she didn't even blink when I told her about their specific requirements.”
“Amanda did an excellent job watching our kitties. She is highly dependable, flexible and does a thorough job. I would definitely love to have her watch our cats in the future.”
“Cara is the best! She takes care of Gambit as if he is her own dog. He looks forward to seeing her, going on walks and playing. I don’t think I’d ever find anyone as great as Cara! I consider her part of the Gambit family”
“Jordan is always so reliable! I appreciate her being available at the last minute too! Tucker Lee thinks Jordan is super sweet and loves his walks with her. She is just the best puppy care for your love!”
“Cassandra was willing to care for my cats on extremely short notice and we did not even get to do a meet and greet in advance. Nevertheless, she was immediately able to bond with my cats and asked insightful questions and was very careful to be sure they were getting the right amounts of food and supplements. From the expression on my cats faces in the photos she sent, I can tell that the cats absolutely love her. I can recommend her highly and hope she will be willing to help us again. I think she is a cat whisperer!”
“Jeannette took so much time to care for Kingsley, our older dog. He was happy to see her, and she gave us great updates on his care while we were out of town. Jeannette was clearly patient and so kind to our boy. Thank you!!”
“Maya was great with our 2 dogs. She was reliable and on time for every visit. We were away for a long weekend and were very busy. Her check ins and pictures of the dogs she sent showed me they were good and well taken care of. I would highly recommend her and I will definitely ask her again.”
“Matthew provided excellent care for our two cats. He posted daily photos, which I greatly looked forward to each day while on vacation. He has excellent communication skills, and I know my cats will miss him! I would definitely recommend his services to any other cat owner that is looking for a cat sitter!”
“Colleen is so great! We have a typically nervous pup who warmed up to her immediately. Colleen took the time to understand her and was patient with her. She made us feel comfortable leaving Sasha in her hands for her first time staying home alone. Thank you!! 😊”
“I am so happy to find Catherine to care for my Molly. Catherine is reliable, very attentive and communication could not have been better. I would highly recommend Catherine and look forward to working with her in the future.”

“Marcelle was wonderful! She took care of our 2 kitties while my husband and I were away for the weekend. She gave us updates on them and there were no concerns or hiccups. We will definitely be using her again!”
About: I have a lot of hands-on experience caring for animals of all kinds, including working at a barn where I help care for 9 horses and give riding lessons, along with experience around dogs and other pets. Being around a variety of animals has taught me how to handle different personalities, energy levels, and needs while staying attentive and responsible. What sets me apart is that I’m very comfortable reading animal behavior and staying calm in any situation. I’m confident with more energetic or nervous pets, and I’m also patient with older animals who may need a slower pace or extra care. I pay close attention to routines, feeding schedules, and any small changes in behavior to make sure your pet stays happy and healthy. I’m reliable, quick to communicate, and I genuinely care about the animals I work with. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m pretty flexible with my schedule and able to fit pet care into my daily routine. I work part-time and spend time at a barn, but I plan my days around the animals I’m responsible for. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and pet sitting throughout the week and on weekends, and I’m good at sticking to a consistent routine that works best for your pet. I always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, and any specific care requests. I’m very aware of my surroundings, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure pets are always supervised and safe. I also keep you updated so you feel comfortable and know your pet is in good hands.
About: I've been watching the pets of friends, relatives, and neighbors since I was about 18. I've given insulin to both dogs and cats during my time pet-sitting. I currently own and care for two very spoiled female guinea pigs. During the week, I work full-time with a hybrid home/office schedule. On the days I am in the office, I do leave at mid-day to finish my workday from home. I can be available for bathroom breaks all throughout the day and go on walks/play with your pets in the evening. I work from a laptop, so I have the ability to relocate my workspace if necessary. I am able to provide all-day availability on weekends. Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that need to be accounted for. I currently have experience taking care of furry ones of all ages and medical conditions.

Jennifer truly is a “star sitter”. She performed all services promptly and professionally and went out of her way to send pictures and updates. She was respectful of my home and I felt very comfortable with her having the access she needed. I recommend her with highest confidence and accolades.
Margaret did a fantastic job checking in on our kitty while we were away for a week, making sure he got all the attention and playtime he needs. I loved receiving the detailed notes and pictures after each check-in! We will be reaching out to her again when we travel, for sure 😊
Marissa went above and beyond while taking care of our pets while we were out of town. It snowed A LOT and Marissa took the time to care for our home- she shoveled our front path and put down salt, and she was even so thoughtful that she put up the windshield wipers on our cars. We were dreading the conditions when we came home, but she was like a fairy godmother who made everything better!
