“Emma was extremely reliable and communicative. She let Leo express his needs (play, cuddling, chilling) and gave him the attention and time he needed. Her updates and pics let me know my cat was in good hands. I would highly recommend Emma for your cat sitting needs!”

“This was the 2nd time Ashley has watched our cats while we were out of town, and she is absolutely amazing! She takes such great care of our cats and always keeps us updated. I highly recommend her!”

About: As a previous vet receptionist, I’m now looking to continue keeping owners and pets happy and healthy outside the practice! Looking to keep you and your fur babies as stress free as possible while you are away from them. Being a cat owner, I love to stay in and snuggle. And being a dog owner, I love to go on outdoor adventures and play a nice game of fetch (or keep away)! My attention to detail will allow me to keep your pet’s schedule on time and make it feel like you never left. Being an animal lover that has worked in the vet field, I am educated on animals and ways to make their experiences as fear-free and fun as possible. I look forward to seeing your fur baby! I will check on things daily to make sure pets are fed and hydrated. I always make sure they are loved and attended to and that I observe closely to make sure what their needs are atthe time! Having a three legged cat, I keep my cats indoors while also giving them window access to be able to view the outside. I always make sure access points are secure so pets do not escape. I am also adaptable to the personalities of animals. If a pet is shy, I tend to take a step back and allow them to warm up to me, and not act too over eager. I also make sure to reassure pets and give them reinforcement and love as needed so they feel more comfortable. I make sure water bowls are filled, litters are cleaned, and food is served.

About: With over 10 years of experience, I am comfortable with all kinds of animals and temperaments - big dogs, angry kitties, stubborn puppies, and anxious pets. I can also give meds if needed and make sure your pet stays safe, calm, and cared for like they’re my own. No matter their personality, I’ve got them covered 😊 I am currently in school but it is strictly online, so I am available almost all days and times. I work Thursday-Saturday from 4-10 but I am available any other time! I can’t block out those times specifically sadly so just message me if you have any questions regarding my availability! I have my own car, I’m also a night owl so don’t feel bad asking for a night check on your pups during date night!! I have 1 cat and 1 dog of my own at home who are the most spoiled babies ever! Most importantly, I am a firm believer in all things safety. I worked with horses for over 10 years so I know how important it is to follow the instructions I have been given. I may be small, but I am mighty! I can handle big dogs, mean cats, and fresh horses! I am more than happy to change any of my procedures to accommodate your fur baby, just ask!
“Sarah was great! She was very caring with my cats and followed all instructions while visiting them. She's very reliable and professional. I will definitely having her caring for my cats in the future.”

“Beth was fantastic. Sent great updates (even when my cat was being skittish) and made last minute extra drop ins for my cat when we got delayed getting home. Very friendly and communicative.”

“Such a great experience and a wonderful caring human to watch over our fur babies! Sent lots of updates while we were away and followed all of the care instructions for our cats. Thank you so much. 100% recommend!”

“Megan has been a caring and devoted pet sitter for our boy. He looks forward to her visits and spends every second talking to her! We wouldn't want anyone else taking care of him!!”

About: I’ve taken care of our family dogs, cats and chickens for over 20 years. Our animals are a part of our family and are treated as such! Good exercise, healthy food and regular grooming are essential to taking good care of our pets! Although I am a full time teacher, our dogs are walked twice daily. Our dogs are brushed out daily to maintain their coat. I ensure that our animals receive the care and attention needed to feel loved by and connected to us. Our dogs have a fenced in back yard for fetch and a nice neighborhood/pond area for walks. I will take good care of your animals by ensuring good exercise and care taking.
“I have never used a pet sitter before, but thanks to Rachel, I will absolutely do it again. She came over to my house before we left so I could show her the routine. As soon as I met her, I was no longer nervous about leaving my cats. She did a great job, is super professional, and I hope to book her again in the future.”

“Mackenzie was great! She connected with our cats so well and captured their personalities in daily update photos. Mackenzie is very responsive and reliable and we will be reaching out to her again. Thanks Mackenzie!!”

“Everything was fine and in order when I got home after about a week of being away. Vicki took good care of my kitty though she was lonely, scolded me for awhile. Vicki even filled the bird feeder!”
About: I'm Emily! I've taken care of a variety of different animals since I was very young, from dogs, cats, lizards, bunnies, chinchillas, guinea pigs etc. I've grown up living with dogs since I was a child so I'm extremely comfortable around many dog breeds big and small. Family, friends, neighbors and coworkers have relied on me for years to watch over, care for, walk, feed etc. their pets. I have lots of experience with big dogs and am really comfortable walking them, I grew up with 2 rottweilers and a great pyrenees so I'm used to a big dog on a leash. I am currently a college student with a light open schedule so I will be able to fit your needs pretty much however you need. I would make sure your pets safety is my number one priority and my second priority would be to make sure your furry friend is enjoying their time! We would play a bunch of games, go on walks (I have multiple woodsy paths near my home).
“We were very lucky to have Chantal looking after our two kitties. She is kind, caring, and reliable. She’s to the time to not only feed and clean after the boys but also to play with them. When we ran into an issue (our fault, not hers) she went out of her way to resolve it. We hope we get to book with her again!”


“I couldn't ask for anything better. Lindsay is simply fantastic. She was exceptional caring and loving with my cats, while extremely respectful when doing her tasks at my home. She went above and beyond my expectations.”

“Venita was so amazing! She did a drop in and my pup was sick. She cleaned up his crate and played with him. She communicated well throughout everything. She even stayed later when asked, which I appreciated immensely! She sent photos of my pup as well, which was great. Will definitely book her again.”
