“I was worried about leaving my cats under the care of a stranger. But Kristen took excellent care of them and they are happy and healthy. I will use her services again.”


“Stephanie is amazing with our 2 cats! We are repeat clients of Stephanie because we know she will take great care of the boys, send pictures and give us updates. Our one cat does not like many people but he does like her which is awesome! :) We would 100% recommend Stephanie if you need someone to watch your fur babies while away. We will surely be requesting her for more drop in visits in the future!”


About: I have taken care of a lot of dogs and cats in my lifetime as well as reptiles like iguanas bearded dragons, and small animals like guinea pigs and hamsters. I have a lot of experience with a lot of different animals and I’ve always wanted to be a vet growing up, but I decided to go into nursing and this is my one way to be able to help others and take care of animals the best I can. I have a very flexible job Monday through Friday and I do not work on weekends so I’m available most nights and weekends. I do require some notice but I am very flexible with even like a day or two notice ahead of time. Depending on if I come to you or you utilize my home, I have lots of toys I have crates for the animals. I have a backyard for the animals to run free and I have no problem doing the messy work and cleaning up poop when they need to go They will have lots of love and if you are OK with it, I also have older children that love animals just as much as I do so that means extra love to your fur babies

About: I have always been the one to call when my friends/family needed a dog sitter. I’m trustworthy and reliable, especially when it comes to animals. I work only part time as a student which means I have plenty of time to help out and take care of your furry friends! I’m available Monday-Friday and most weekends. I take my dog on daily walks early in the morning. I am able to walk your pets or drop in to feed and take care of them Monday-Friday and most weekends.

About: I bring a level of responsibility and trust that sets me apart. I’ve cared for pets of all kinds — from cuddly cats to quirky dogs — in homes across the U.S. I’m calm, attentive, and always treat pets like they’re my own. I'm also neat, reliable, and communicative, so you'll always know your pets and home are in good hands. What sets me apart? 👉 Life experience 👉 Flexibility to travel 👉 A deep love for animals (and the quiet joy of daily routines) Whether it’s meds, snuggles, or just holding down the fort — I’ve got it covered. I’m a retired real estate agent turned full-time traveler, so my schedule is wide open — no 9–5, no rush. Pet care is a natural fit for my lifestyle. I enjoy quiet mornings, long walks (with or without a leash in hand), and cozy evenings in. Because I work remotely and love slow travel, I’m able to give pets my full attention. I’m home a lot, I don’t party, and I’m happy sticking to your pet’s routine — whether that’s sunrise feedings, mid-day meds, or nightly snuggles. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect I would my own. I follow all instructions closely — from feeding schedules to security routines — and I’m extremely mindful about keeping doors locked, floors clean, and pets safe. I believe in calm, consistent environments, especially for animals. I keep noise to a minimum, never invite guests over, and I’m happy to update you with daily messages or photos so you always know your pets are well. Trust and safety are my top priorities — both for your animals and your home.

About: I have had dogs in my home since I was eight, and have been looking after others dogs for a few years now. I have worked with all sizes and breeds, due to being employed at a Veterinary Clinic. Friends and family have always trusted me to look after their dogs for the day, weekend, or even week long trips. I am a current student and working part-time as well. Although, I have more than enough time in the evenings and weekends to look after you pets. When taking care of others dogs for them, I normally go and feed and water their dogs at the time of their normal feeding and go walk them and stop in to play for a while about 3-4 times a day. I have also stayed in home with pets overnight at their home if needed as well.

Kendall F.
“I’ve known Kendall for a couple of years now, and during this time she has watched my family’s dog and my own personal dog a handful of times. I own a Pomeranian named Tom and my family owns a Chihuahua named Elly. Both of these dogs are highly energetic and need a good amount of attention from whoever is caring for them. While looking for someone to watch our dogs this was our biggest concern, but Kendall has exceeded mine and my family’s expectations every time. She is very loving and caring towards dogs and animals. She goes above and beyond every time to make sure the dogs are well fed, walked, loved, etc. I highly recommend Kendall if you are looking for someone to care/animal-sit for your pet. She takes great care of them and overall just does an amazing job.”


Veronica E.

“Kenzie does an excellent job with our three dogs when we are gone on vacation. We have one dog who is very shy and timid and we were unsure how she would do without a family member around but Kenzie was kind and patient creating a great bond with her for the weeks we were gone. I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, compassionate and thorough job!!”
