“Lisa thank you so much for taking such good care of my fur babies. I don't trust just anyone to take care of them. They seemed very comfortable with you and that means so much to me. I will definitely recommend and use your services again in the future.”
About: My love for animals stemmed from when I grew up taking care of my cousin’s beautiful 4 month old pitbull/sharpei mix up until she was 12. I have also watched my friends’ cats and am always happy being around them. I love learning more about animals and getting to know their unique, interesting personalities. I’m heavily intuitive of their needs and love communicating with them withal. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends but I am a very flexible person and would like to adapt to others’ schedules and to help people out with my extra time. I always try to spend as much time outside as I can and it would be amazing to have a companion with me while I go for walks or just spend time outside when needed :) I currently don’t have any pets but I have a fenced backyard with a good amount of space, I am very flexible so I can adjust to the animal’s individual needs and the owner’s.
“Logan is always great with all 3 of our boys, and is always sure that all 3 of them get the attention they need while we're away. Even our youngest who is terrified of everyone and everything has warmed up to her! 10/10 would recommend booking her!”
“Elizabeth did a wonderful job! We would love to work with her again. Her communication was great. She kept us updated and shared photos of our cats, Stasya and Miso, daily. We came home to two happy and healthy kitties after a week of being away.”
“Valerie has watched my kitty, Sammy, three times now. She shows up as promised and sends me photos of my sweet boy. She doesn’t hesitate to contact me with questions or to reassure that Sammy is fine. I’d recommend Valerie to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.”
About: I love animals, especially doggos! I grew up around dogs, and I have been house and dog/cat sitting since I was a teenager (20ish years). I will ensure your animals are cared for, comfortable, and loved! I primarily work remotely, which means I’m usually available during the day to check in, except when I’m staffing events at work. On weekends, I’m quite flexible and can easily check in with our fur babies as often as needed! Unfortunately, I can only provide care, sitting, and walking at your home. My apartment does not allow pets at this time, but I have a flexible schedule!

Early morning, late evenings or anything in between. I am able to work with your schedule. I have a hound and we recently moved into a house. I make sure she gets more than 30 minutes of outside exercise a day, I also keep her mentally going with puzzle toys and sometimes I will hide treats in the apartment for her to sniff out and find. She has a daily routine but every now and then I will switch it up to get her thinking. I also just got a new puppy in January and he is a Rottweiler/ German shepherd mix, his name is Whiskey! These two will play from sun up to sun down and are definitely drained by the end of the day
