“Jessica was WONDERFUL. I was really nervous previous to booking but once I met Jessica and saw her interacting with my kitty Hazel I knew she was the best choice. She understands how to interact with cats and Hazel was quickly comfortable with her. She took great pictures of Hazel for her daily updates and I could see how happy my cat was while I was away. She even brought her a toy and an extra scratching board! Great communication, professionalism, timeliness, and care. Absolutely I will book with Jessica again next time I am able to travel.”

“It was such a pleasure to have Michelle stay with our cat Bunny for a week. When we arrived home a very happy kitty greeted us at the door. Michelle was so responsive and thoughtful, we will definitely work with her again in the future. We found Michelle after our normal sitter had a family emergency. It can be a little worrisome working with someone new, but Michelle set our minds at ease and gave us the confidence to relax on vacation. Thank you Michelle!”

“Took excellent care of my senior pet, Sparkle giving medication each evening, and providing valuable time letting Sparkle to go outside and roam the backyard; allowing time for Sparkle to decided to outside or stay inside.”

About: I have had pets my entire life so I am very good at communicating with them, especially cats and dogs, and understanding their boundaries and what they need. I've had some minor (unprofessional) experience training a puppy, and I would be happy to further explore that! I am a college student on summer break who needs to work, so I am available when you are! I'm available all days of the week at all times. The first thing I do is feed, water, and take care of bathroom needs (litter box/going for a walk) for the animal(s) and then I will spend quality time with them if that's something the animal wants.
About: I’ve had dogs all my life. My parents allowed my siblings and i to take on the responsibly of animals at such a young age. I grew up with two pugs then labs and now i am an owner of a cattle dog, a doodle, and a pug! My cattle dog is reactive so over the past two years I’ve been learning all about how to care for a reactive dog and how to work with them. I feel i have the ability to help walk reactive dogs when their owners aren’t home and need a little energizing walk! Or a lazy old pup who just needs some snuggles on the couch during the day and for any puppies who need potty breaks and food while their humans work! I am a night shift RN. My schedule is pretty flexible and I can work with you on times that work best for both of us and your animal! I only work 3-4 days a week and a lot of times my days off are during the week when people need to work! With my three dogs they are all crated when not home or when sleeping! They are fed twice a day with brain productive toys in the afternoon along with naps and walks. My cat is free fed throughout the day and wet food in the morning along with lots of snuggles with plenty of toy time with her. I hope I can provide all the love and care to your fur babies. I am open to any service including medications if needed!
“Rebecca has been awesome! The girls took to her immediately and she was wonderful with them. We gave her a new front door key and it turned out to be problematic. Rebecca was able to get it to work and to keep the house locked tight. I will definitely request Rebecca in the future!”

“Maleny is incredible! She watched my 7 year old cat over the holidays and every day she sent detailed reports and took over 10 photos every visit! Above and beyond! We are so grateful for her watching our usually anxious boy but even our boy fell in love with her. She sat with him every day and met him where he was which made all the difference for our cat. Her photos show he was happy to see her and approached her so I know she is incredibly kind and gentle or else he wouldn’t have bothered coming up to her for pets. As long as Maleny is available, she is always welcome to look after our cat- we will always seek her first for anymore travels we have!”

“Jaime did a great job looking in on my two shy kitties, and making sure they had plenty of food and water. She went above and beyond seeking out the cats and sending me a picture of them under the bed; it was reassurance that I left my cats in good hands while I was away.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life, starting with pets when I was just 2 years old! Currently, I care for my dog, cat, hamster, and chickens, and I’ve even hand-reared three wild bunnies. I’m comfortable administering medications, and have experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, anxious pets, and those with mild aggression (though I prefer gentle, friendly dogs). I’m patient, attentive, and dedicated to making every pet feel safe, loved, and understood. Whether it’s a playful walk or calm companionship, I treat your pet like part of my own pack. Pet care fits seamlessly into my weekly routine. I’m available all day on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, and after 3 PM on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. This flexible schedule allows me to provide regular walks, playtime, and companionship to dogs and cats alike. I’m active and enjoy taking dogs on walks or jogs, rain or shine, and I make sure pets get the attention and care they need throughout the day. I care for pets in their own homes, respecting their familiar environment and routines to keep them comfortable and happy. I follow all instructions carefully—from feeding and medications to playtime and rest—and make sure doors, gates, and windows stay secure at all times. I keep a close eye on their behavior and needs, providing gentle, attentive care to reduce stress while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family and communicate promptly with owners to keep them updated. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities!
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life — with over 10 years of personal ownership and experience in dog sitting, walking, and training. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments — from laid-back seniors to high-energy puppies. I’m especially experienced with young or active dogs and love providing high-energy play, consistent routines, and plenty of cuddles. I’ve also trained dogs in basic obedience, hunting, and even service dog skills, so I’m comfortable reinforcing training while you’re away. I offer walking, feeding, crate training, medication administration, and overnight care — and I always tailor my approach to your dog’s unique needs and personality. Whether your pup needs a calm, consistent presence or someone to match their zoomies, I’ve got you covered! I’m currently back in school and as a college student I somehow have extra time on my hands! I’m available weekly for any dog sitting (overnight or just throughout the day), dog walking, check-ins, etc. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space and routine with the same respect I’d want for my own. I follow all instructions carefully—whether that’s feeding schedules, walking routines, crate time, or medication needs—so your pet stays comfortable and consistent in their environment. I’m also happy to continue any training or reinforcement you’ve already been working on, whether it’s basic commands, crate manners, or specific behavior routines. Consistency is key, and I always strive to keep your pet’s progress moving forward while you’re away. I aim to keep your pet’s day as normal and stress-free as possible, offering them love, play, and structure. I also provide regular updates, photos, and messages so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and in good hands. I’m tidy, responsible, and always make sure your home is just as you left it—or better. Your pet’s well-being, safety, and happiness are my top priorities.
About: I’ve had all kinds of pets throughout my entire life. I’ve also worked with and cared for all kinds of dogs for over 6 years at a doggy daycare and boarding facility, and worked reception at a vet clinic for about 2.5 years. Animals are the best! I am in school and work part time. I have a pretty flexible schedule for the time being. I will care for and love your furbaby as if they were my own :) It would be my pleasure to watch, walk, love, and play with your dogs, cats or other pets when you are away and unable to do so yourself. I am only able to offer services in clients’ homes as I do not own my home.
“Emma is just who Purru needed while we were on a weekend getaway, just two weeks after a move. We came home to a happy, content cat, which is a wonderful thing! Emma , thanks for spending your weekend with our sleepy senior kitty girl, and for your patience while waiting for the key.”

About: I've taken care of friends pets my whole life, including month old foster kittens, elder cats, ducks, and even horses! I can't help but love animals! Career hunting as a post-grad, my routine is completely flexible! I have little to no obligations now, and so my focus can be totally on your pets! I have a fenced yard for dogs, and live across the street from a lovely park for walks! I can also adapt to your home easily, and your animals will be convinced you were never gone!
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my commitment to providing them with the best possible care. Growing up, I've had three dogs and one cat, and I've also cared for bunnies and chickens. This experience has taught me to understand and cater to the unique needs of different animals. I'm dedicated to ensuring every pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy. I truly value every opportunity to pet sit and make it a positive experience for both the pet and their owner. During the week, I work as a nanny and pet sitter on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM. Outside of those hours, I have a lot of flexibility and am available to care for your pets. When I'm caring for pets in my client's home, safety and trust are my top priorities. I follow all instructions carefully and maintain open communication with the pet owners. I'm committed to providing a loving and attentive atmosphere, making sure each animal feels comfortable and cared for.
“AAAAA++++ If you need an amazing, responsible, tuned in house/pet sitter look no further. We are incredibly grateful that Pam could fit us in her schedule and on short notice. She went above and beyond to make sure our scared cat (who hides from new people), got food in her system while we were away. She sent regular updates and pictures that put us at ease. Our pets were so comfortable in her presence they looked for her when we got home. Our cats are older, grumpy and have various diets and important asthma medications -we appreciate her attention to detail so our pets could get what they needed following our similar routines. The house was cleaner than we left it, plants watered and happy kitties. We will definitely be using Pam again for a stress free vacation.”

About: I am experienced in caring for a diverse range of pets. I am known for my calming demeanor, which is particularly beneficial for pets that exhibit anxiety or shyness. I'm intuitive to pet behavior and respond appropriately. I have experience with puppies, kittens, senior dogs and cats. I can administer medications and feed them any special diets. I can feed and water your reptiles, birds, fish, amphibians, chickens and other pets. Let’s set up a meet and greet! Pet Sitting is a part time job. I have my own cat Gigi at home so I do go home to check in on her if I am house sitting for the week! I am attentive to your pets needs and behavior. If they are shy or have anxiety I will give them the proper space and time to adjust to me. I am respectful of your home and your beloved pets. I keep things clean and tidy.
“Mykylie is a thoughtful and caring sitter. She dropped in on my cat while I was out of town and it meant so much for me to get a detailed report on how my kitty was doing (as well as some adorable pictures). I really think anyone can trust their pet in her hands!!”
