“Melissa was wonderful. She did a pre-visit with us to meet and greet our cats. We liked her and were happy to have someone come over every day while we were away. Our son looked forward to her pictures each day we were away. It made him feel better knowing his cats were well taken care of. Melissa is kind and caring and was wonderful. She spent time with our kitties each day. She did more than just feed them, she made them feel comfortable while we were away. We’re grateful to have found her! Would definitely recommend her!”


“Allyson was absolutely amazing! She was great with communication from initial contact and throughout the booking. She takes this very seriously and it was reassuring to know our cat was in good hands. I wish I would’ve found her sooner, she is one of the best sitters we have used!”


“She was so wonderful watching our cat, Cheddar and letting us know if packages arrived. She made sure our house was secure and that Cheddar was well loved while we were gone!”


“Cats were well cared for and healthly. Katelynn is easy to communicate with and receptive to any concerns or requests. I definitely will use her services again if possible.”


“Bethany was fantastic! My cat and I recently made a cross-country move and leaving her alone in a new place for a week made me so anxious (probably more anxious than the cat was). Bethany made sure Mimi had everything she needed and sent me daily updates. 💜”


“Had a very good experience with Andrea. She met with me on a very short notice during a holiday and took care of my cats while I was away for an emergency. Timely and good updates throughout.”



“We have used Kaylee a few times and she is always great with the cats. We can leave on vacation and know that we do bit have to worry about them. She sends pictures too.”


“Katie did a great job taking care of my shy cat and getting her to come out a bit. She left my apartment very clean and bagged up any dirty litter to stop smells which I appreciated. Thank you!”


About: - Always home to keep an eye on your pet - Large fenced in backyard for exercise - Able to keep pets separated within the house if need be - Experience with administrating medicine - Plenty of toys and things to do in and outside of home We are a couple with plenty of availability for your pet. We both work from home with very flexible schedules and always have the weekends off. We have 2 dogs of our own. They get plenty of exercise in our backyard playing with one another or hunting for lizards. We watch them play inside as well when it’s too hot or rainy outside. They get snuggles and treats. We love connecting with animals as each one is different and we have the time and energy to do so.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life—from growing up with dogs, birds, and fish to building freshwater aquariums in high school. I now have two cats, a dog, and a bearded dragon of my own! I hold a bachelor’s degree in Marine Science from FGCU and completed an internship working hands-on with reptiles and marine life. With over a decade of personal and academic experience, I provide attentive, knowledgeable care for pets of all types, including senior animals, exotics, and pets with special needs. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life—I currently care for my own dog, two cats, a bearded dragon, and multiple aquarium setups. Feeding, cleaning, enrichment, and exercise are part of my everyday routine, so incorporating care for other pets feels like second nature. Whether it’s a morning walk, administering medications, or just providing companionship, I genuinely enjoy making animals feel safe, loved, and well-cared for. In my home, I maintain a clean, pet-safe environment with designated areas for feeding, play, and rest. I follow strict routines to keep pets healthy and stress-free, including scheduled feeding, regular cleaning, and daily interaction or exercise. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and routines completely—sticking to feeding schedules, maintaining litter boxes or enclosures, offering walks, playtime, and any specific care needs. I always prioritize safety, communication, and consistency to ensure pets feel comfortable and cared for in their familiar environment.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since a young age. I’ve always been relied on to take good care of pets. I love being around all types of animals, and keeping them intrigued and happy. I’m currently in college and have a lot of free time on weekends so i’m available at any time throughout the weekend. Don’t be afraid to ask when! I’ll keep your dog exercised and I am an outside person myself so I do not mind staying outside for a while. I’ve played baseball my whole life so i don’t mind running em!

About: Hello! My name is Kaitlyn, and I have owned/fostered animals for 5+ years, including senior animals, kittens, and disabled cats. I have experience with nail clipping, shaving (for matted fur), as well as medication administration. I plan to one day own my own non-profit in support of local animals in need. :) I currently have a full-time remote job, M-F 8am-5pm, so as long as it works around my work schedule and isn't too far from my location, I can assist when needed. I provide a safe and calming space as well as insure that the pet has everything they need and is happy with my company !

“I was very pleased with the job Dawn did. This was my first time going away in a few years and I also just lost one of my dogs a few weeks ago making harder to leave them. I appreciated the notes and pictures. I have a blind dog and I felt like he was in good hands. I would definitely use Dawn again.”


“Magdalena was great. She did wonderful with our cats, and left us pictures and a video of one of our cats greeting her as she came in the door. The cats were well fed and content when we arrived home which we attributed to Magdalena. Will definitely use her again next time we go on vacation.”


“Logan was great! This is my first time using a service. I've always had family around for pet sitting. I felt really comfortable and confident in her as soon as I met her. My furs liked her as well. I will definitely use Logan's services again.”


“So thankful we found Megan. She was extremely helpful checking in on our cats while we were out of the country! Sweet and attentive, she made us feel confident that our babies would be safe and attended to while we were away.”

About: Taking care of animals isn't a chore to me, it's a passion. I really do see the uniqueness in each dog or cat. Growing up I would pet sit for elderly and sick foster dogs with many special needs, it really impressed upon me the need these animals have for care and connection. Im separated from my own fur baby as he lives in Oregon with my parents, but he is special needs. Three times a day he needs eye drops administered to him and before I moved away I was the main administrator of his medications. Im happy to play with your dogs and their favorite toys if you'd like, and glad to spend extra time giving them snuggles and love. I really do love dogs and I can't wait to meet yours. I promise I'll care of your animals as if they were my own. I have class part time so I'll have plenty of time to care for and play with your pet. Im usually available at 2:00 pm to start care during weekdays but my schedule is flexible, especially during the summer time. Overnights and mornings as needed. Whether I’m caring for my pets in my home or your pets in yours, I treat each animal with the same attention and love I’d give my own. I follow their routine closely—feeding, walking, playtime, and any medications—while keeping a watchful eye on their behavior and wellbeing. Under my supervision, pets enjoy a safe, clean, and comforting space with plenty of affection and engagement. I’m committed to providing consistent, reliable, and thoughtful care so every pet feels secure, happy, and well-cared for.

Ursula C.
“Ursula petsat my dog for 2 weeks earlier this summer! The dog in question, Juniper, is very high maintenance but Ursula managed her care well. Ursula was able to follow instructions and make her food weekly, feed her twice a day, give her probiotics on schedule, and walk her early morning and afternoon. Ursula also kept up with her grooming needs and even brushed her teeth! Cannot recommend more!”
