“I am repeated client with Melissa and I really trust her with my beloved cat Oakley! She truly spends time with him and gives him much needed attention while we are away! Thank you!”


“Alex was very prompt to respond to my request for a last-minute booking, took good care of my dog, sent detailed updates, and asked questions as needed. Alex was very professional in all aspects of communicating and completing visits.”


“Alaina did a great job taking care of my dog while I was out of town for a few days. She kept me well-informed with updates and photos, and she was able to accommodate a last-minute request, which was very much appreciated!”


“Charlotte was great! She came every day to feed and water the cats and scoop litter. She also sat with them for a bit and gave them some attention (my cats don’t play, they just want pets). She was very communicative and took great pictures of the cats too!”


About: I have had dogs all of my life. I often pet sit for my parents, in-laws, and friends. I enjoy spending time with all animals. I currently work a full time job as the Operations Director for a local non-profit. I have some extra time during weekday evenings and most of the weekend. I have 2 dogs that are very different - Linus our old man, and Charlie Brown ‘Chuck’ our 4yr old puppy. I feed them twice a day. I try for at least a 20min walk 5-6 times a week, but we usually go long over the weekend. We play. We hang.

“Jawnie was a perfect cat sitter for us while we were out on a long weekend trip! She took lots of pictures and asked questions we forgot to send as instructions. Will definitely book again with Jawnie next time we’re out of town!”


“Johnnisha will definitely be someone I contact again about checking in on my cat! Very friendly and obviously cares about animals. I appreciated her sending some pictures of my baby when I was away!”


“Breanna was great as always. Very accommodating and actually helped with an unexpected house/ weather issue that popped up. She’s great and I feel very comfortable having her care for my cats/ home.”


About: I have been around dogs my whole life and of all ages. but I have specifically taken care of puppies and middle age dogs. Those dogs I have worked with the most with. I had a senior dog in my household that I took care of until she unfortunately passed from cancer and I had administered medication to her and such. I have also taken in 2 foster dogs one with separation anxiety and other medication issues due to being in the shelter. I would have to give her medication and baths on the regular due to her having multiple accidents in her crate. With the second dog they were a 2 month old puppy that I fostered for a weekend and took to an adoption event where they had gotten adopted. I want to make sure all animals are loved and cared for while there owners are away and so that the owner don’t have to worry and know there fur babies are okay. I take care of my pets at home already so it’s really just a built in thing for my schedule. It’s an easy thing to do during the day or to end your day with as well so it all just fits in nicely. And who doesn’t want to end their day with some snuggles. I want to treat my clients pets how I would want my pets treated. I wouldn’t mind any them to be pushed to the side or just be let out and then leave I would want my pets to be played with and have some attention and love before heading out just so they know that someone is looking out for them until their owners are back

About: I grew up with dogs in the house and haven't had many times when a dog wasn't in the house. I have experience working with and caring for pups, older dogs, anxious dogs and super active dogs! I also have experience administering medication. I can’t wait to get to know your buddies! I work from home most days on a very flexible schedule. That means I have the time to give your pets the attention and exercise they need. I will give your dog gentle and loving care while offering a lot of activity when needed. I am a very active person and happy to walk your dog in your own neighborhood or take a trip to the park. I do not have a fence at my own place, but make up for that with longer walks or play time inside. I have lids on all trashcans and keep the floors clear of anything a pet could ingest. If a car ride is needed, I have a safety seat in the back for small dogs.

“Robyn was amazing with our cat Eevee. She has a lot of experience with cats so I felt really comfortable leaving our cat in her care. She followed feeding instructions well, kept the litter box clean, and spent extra time playing with Eevee. Highly recommend!”


“Allison did a great job checking in on our puppy while I was out of town. It looks like our pup had a ton of fun and Allison was respectful, communicative, and easy to work with!”

“Hannah has done such a great job checking in on my two boys almost weekly! She really cares for them, and takes some of the best quality photos too. Even when I needed to switch some of our drop in times due to an emergency at work, she was quick to accept and helped alleviate my stress. She is a great choice for any of your pet needs :)”


About: Hi, I’m Karly! Choosing the right person to care for your furry family member is a big decision, and I’m here to make it easy. With years of experience fostering dogs of all ages—from playful puppies to senior companions—and caring for pets of neighbors, family, and friends, I bring a lifelong passion for animals to every pet I watch. What sets me apart? I treat every pet like family. My 2-year-old rescue pup is a bundle of energy and loves making new friends, and my privacy-fenced backyard provides a safe, fun space for playtime and exercise. I know how to tailor care to meet each pet’s unique needs, whether they need extra snuggles, long walks, or a patient hand.

Whether it’s a quick walk, a weekend trip, or extended care, I’ll give your pet the love and attention they deserve—because that’s how I’d want someone to care for mine! I work a hybrid schedule, going into the office three days a week—Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. This gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pet! Since I work downtown, just a short distance from my home, I can easily pop back during lunch breaks to let your pet out or give them some attention. Whether you need mid-day check-ins or longer care during my off days, I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s needs and schedule! Safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are my top priorities. In my home, your pet will enjoy a secure, pet-proofed space with a privacy-fenced backyard for safe play. My 2-year-old dog is friendly and loves making new friends!
