Christy went above and beyond for my kitty while I was out of town for a long weekend. She was very proactive with communication. Left my home in tip-top shape and went above and beyond when a flight got delayed unexpectedly. I would re-book with Christy 100%.

Stacy did a great job caring for our 1 year old high energy Husky/Corgi mix and taking care of our home while we were away. We appreciated her experience with animals and it show in her ability to manage our high energy teenage pup who is also still adjusting from only being adopted a little under a month prior. Her regular photos and updates kept us at ease while we were away in these early stages and when we returned the house was just a we had left it. We look forward to having Stacy watch Frosty again and have already booked her again for our next in home sitting.

About: I’ve always loved animals and enjoy taking care of them. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to each pet’s needs. I’m comfortable feeding, playing, walking, and making sure pets feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of attention and care. Pet care fits well into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule and can stop by to feed, walk, play with, and check on your pets. I make sure dogs get exercise and attention, and cats get the care and calm environment they need while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I carefully follow all care instructions and make sure pets have fresh food, water, exercise, and attention. I’m patient and gentle, and I treat every dog and cat like they are my own so they feel safe and happy while you’re away.

Lydia was great with our pups and we won't hesitate to use her services again. She sent daily pictures of our babies and I could tell they were content and happy. She even took one of our pups with her on a car ride to pick up food (he loves car rides and she did have our permission). She sent pics of him and I could tell he was loving it! Lydia was very quick to answer texts and she was easy to communicate with. She left the house in great condition and we already have her booked for May. I highly recommend Lydia and I don't think anyone that hires her will be disappointed with her services.

Logen is the best and my girls loved spending time with her while I was on vacation. She kept me updated throughout the days and even sent pictures. It was such a relief to know that Logen was taking care of my babies maybe even better than I do. I am pretty sure they were a little disappointed when I came home. Logen made sure my needy dog had her daily meditation and even took them on daily walks. I will definitely be using her for all my pet sitting needs!

About: I am a happily employed veterinary assistant! I am willing to walk, sit, stay, and roll over with your cats and dogs. With my experience in veterinary care, I am able to see signs of any sort of potential separation anxiety or sickness and will help keep them calm and comfortable while you’re away. I have two cats and a rabbit, but I feel plenty comfortable caring for all kinds of creatures! I look forward to meeting you and your beautiful family members! I currently have a full time job at a local animal hospital! I would be able to stop by and care for your babies before and after work, with a possibility of visiting on my lunch break based on distance. I love to stimulate fur-kiddos physically and mentally by taking them on walks, playing with them, and letting them explore all of the neighborhood smells. I will be able to spot the signs of discomfort quickly and act efficiently if needed. Although I plan to just cuddle your pets while you’re away to keep them warm for ya!

Cara was amazing with my 11 month old golden puppy. She followed all the instructions and used to send pupdates everyday. Also while leaving on the last night she made sure the place is clean and things are in place. She stayed with him for about 20 days and was the reason we were able to enjoy our holiday. She’s a perfect choice as she treats every pet as her own

About: Hi! I’m currently a DPT student, which means my days can be busy—but spending time with animals is something I genuinely look forward to. I’ve always had a love for pets and understand how important it is to know they’re in good hands. Even with a full academic schedule, I’m organized, responsible, and intentional with my time. When I’m with your pet, they’ll have my full attention—whether that’s getting their energy out on a walk or just relaxing and feeling comfortable at home. Pet care is also a meaningful way for me to help pay for school, so I’m grateful for every opportunity and take that responsibility seriously. Im a current physical therapy student but my summer class schedule is lighter. I don’t have full days of class so I have periods to leave for walking and potty breaks and I’m home most of the day Fri - Sunday now! If they are up for it, I can take them on trips around JC and to the dog park (I love off leash!) I can also be available for any overnight visits, and am usually free for a whole weekend. My apartment is close to downtown so has many walkable areas for your pets. There’s a big field next to my apartment that’s perfect for potty breaks. I can separate the upstairs from the downstairs if they need to be kept away from certain rooms, but they have plenty of room to roam in my apartment! In my clients home I can provide any services as needed such as walking them, playing in the yard, or crating.
