About: I’ve owned dogs all of my life and have worked with many different breeds of different ages with different needs. Open to different schedules and care needs. I want to put your mind at ease knowing your pets are safe and cared for with me! I work a full-time job from 7:30-3:30. I’m able to do drop ins before and after work. I can provide walks and play time, or if preferred, some relaxed company. I provide a safe and fun environment to settle any fears you or your dog might have with pet-sitters. I have a very calm and friendly demeanor that puts people/pets at ease.
“Amanda was great! She did a great job checking in on my cat and playing with him while I was on vacation. Great communication and super sweet. Will definitely be using her again!”
“Nia was very attentive to the needs of our kitties. She sent videos and pictures of her drop-in and communicated throughout her visits. She is a pleasure to work with. I will definitely book with her again in her future.”
About: (Real name Quinn, Rover won't let me change it). I've grown up around dogs, and started basic obedience and leash training, feeding and watering, medication and hygiene management, and enrichment/exercise with them from the time I was 10 to when I moved into dorms in college. As a teen I successfully trained a livestock guard dog puppy, but I'm comfortable and experienced with all ages and size ranges. I love to walk and hike, and would even be down to take your dog with me (provided they're friendly to dogs & people). I'm not currently able to have a dog, and my parents' dogs are back in Texas, so I'm looking to make new canine friends. I also have experience with parrots, snakes, chickens, and goats. I work 8:30-4:30 Monday through Friday, but have time in the mornings, evenings, and every weekend. My two cats mean I can't do overnight or in-home boarding, but I'd love to spend some time with your pets when you can't. I'm very patient and nurturing with pets, but also responsible. Every household is different, so I like to know the expectations and rules for both me and your pet so I can make sure we all have the best experience possible. I've done a lot of research on both cat and dog behavior in my own journey as a pet parent, so I know how to redirect behavior if needed, as well as what signs to look for in case of an emergency. I'm extremely reliable, but also this is something I'm doing because I want to do it, so I feel joyful and privileged to be invited to care for your loved one.

Elin K.
“Quinn (Elin) cat-sat my two cats while I was traveling, including daily litter box cleaning, feeding them wet food on a morning-and-evening schedule, monitoring their dry food and water, and providing plenty of play time and affection. They also sent me regular updates including excellent photos and shooed one of the cats off of the counter when she decided to test whether the usual rules were still in effect! I'd highly recommend them for any pet care; they're conscientious and careful, and deeply enjoy time with pets. Although I don't have dogs myself, I've seen Quinn with their own and others' dogs and can absolutely vouch for their love of and comfort with dogs. They have experience training and caring for dogs of varying ages and sizes, and would take as much care with dogs as they did for my cats.”
Jenna & Aidan S.
“I'm sure I wouldn't travel as much if it wasn't for Jenna. To have someone you can depend on and feel 100% confident with your beloved pets, isn't an easy situation to find. It has been over six years, that Jenna has been my pet/house sitter. I am so lucky to have found that perfect someone that makes my time away from home that much more enjoyable. When I leave Jenna to care for my pets, I never worry. I know both my cat and dog are in very good hands. She is loving, caring and always there to take on the job. I trust her whole heartedly. I know many people who will not travel because they are afraid to leave their pets. I am blessed to know that all the fears and anxieties associated with leaving my furry friends, does not existent in my world, all thanks to Jenna :)”
Morgan E.
“Morgan is a former student and so I know quite well who she is and how responsible she is. My dog was in excellent hands when she stayed at our home. She also started and ran her own business, which speaks to her sense of commitment and professionalism.”
Shantalee M.
“Shantalee is very attentive. Always pays attention to my dog's specific needs, makes sure she gets enough walks throughout the day, plays with her, and is overall a very attentive carer for my dog. You can tell that Shantalee genuinely loves being around animals. Highly recommend using their services!”
Stephanie H.
“Stephanie is simply amazing. She has watched our 4 dogs and a cat. We came home to very happy, healthy animals. She slept with them, played with them, and did everything we asked her to do. She continually updated us with pictures which made us feel so much better, knowing they were having a great time. If you want the perfect dog sitter Stephanie is the one for you. I will definitely be using her again.”
