“Was great to have Josh come watch our boys! Took great care of them, was punctual and send the cutest pictures. Can’t wait to book Josh again!”


“Rachel was very friendly and took great care or our cat while we were out of town. She communicated regularly and made sure Dobby was comfortable. Would gladly book again.”


“Anne was wonderful with our two cats. She is obviously a very caring person and an animal lover, and she was comfortable with them very quickly. One of my cats is very social (he wants lots of affection) but the other one (a female) is very timid and fearful and prefers little to no touching. Anne kept them in separate rooms/areas as I'd requested, since the male will bully the female if given the chance and they may fight with each other. Anne also took extra precautions to ensure our 'lightning-fast' kitty could not run out of the house whenever doors were opened, which really eased my mind. The shy one felt comfy enough to rub herself on Anne's legs at feeding time! Anne also sent me daily updates, along with pictures - which was very appreciated since I was out of state! I am very happy with the care provided. I will book again with Anne whenever needed in the future. Thanks again, Anne!”


“Jennifer has taken care of my cats two times now and she is great! She sends detailed notes about how the cats are doing (e.g., their energy levels, eating/behavioral patterns) and all the care needs she took addressed that day (such as cleaning the litter box). She also goes above and beyond and lets you know if anything seems different in your home. For example, she let me know that the lights were out when she came back to my place which helped keep me in the loop of anything unusual going on and made me feel even more comfortable leaving my cats in her care. She is also respectful of my cats’ individual needs. I have one very energetic, playful cat and one that is very anxious and hides. Jennifer makes sure to give my playful cat a lot of love and attention and gives my anxious cat his space while still ensuring that he is safe and sound. She follows all of the detailed care needs and keeps everything clean and tidy. I would 100% recommend Jennifer and will definitely contact her again for my next trip.”


“Tifaney did a great job keeping our kitties company and caring for them while me and my husband were away. She always kept us updated with how they were doing which was always appreciated and kept us worry free during our trip! Thank you so much again Tifaney! 😊”


“Emma has helped me with my cats when I needed to be out of the country for a month and half. She even watered our plants to help us out. She goes above and beyond to ensure our cats are well taken care of. Grateful for her service!”


“Awesome sitter/drop in!!! My cats loved her, one for sure (the social one) and one I’m pretty sure because she wasn’t hiding I got home! Will definitely be asking her to help again!”


“Alex was very pleasant and an amazing cat sitter! She showed up on time all the time and she made sure that we weren’t worried about our cat and we felt good knowing that she was in Alex’s hands!”



“Stephanie did such a great job watching my baby (14 year old cat)! She spent extra time with her and went above and beyond. Would definitely recommend her!”


“Thanks so much for taking such good care of everything!”


“Ma'lisa was great with my two cats. She kept me up to date on how they were doing and was very patient with my shy kitten. Came home to two happy cats.”


“Lilly does a great job taking care of my dog. She is always prompt and has such a cheery attitude!”


“This is the second time we’ve had Abby watch our dog, Beau, and once again she was fantastic. We are always completely stress-free knowing he’s in her care, and Beau absolutely loves her. Abby is dependable, caring, and makes sure Beau is happy and comfortable every time. Highly recommend!”


“Thank you for watching our fur babies. You went above and beyond watching our house while we were on vacation! Hopefully we will see you again!”



About: Caring for animals isn’t just something I do it’s who I am. I’ve had pets my entire life and can’t remember a time when I didn’t have a dog in my home. With years of hands-on experience, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I work from home, which means I can give your dog the attention, playtime, and companionship they need throughout the day whether it’s a walk, drop-in, or 24-hour boarding. Your dog will be treated with the same love and care I give to my own — always safe, always loved, and never alone. I’ve had animals my whole life and can’t recall a time I didn’t have a dog by my side. I currently work from home, which means I’m able to give your pet the love, attention, and companionship they deserve whether it’s for a walk, a visit, or 24/7 care while boarding. I live in the peaceful Walden Lake area with access to several beautiful walking trails perfect for getting fresh air and exercise. I also have one dog of my own, a 10-year-old Jack Russell mix who is my absolute baby. I’ll treat your pet with the same love and care I give him because they deserve nothing less. I work from home, so your dog will never be left alone and can get plenty of love and attention throughout the day. I also have a fully fenced-in yard, giving your dog safe and easy access to potty breaks, fresh air, and playtime as often as they need. Plus, I live in the beautiful Walden Lake area with access to scenic walking trails for daily adventures. Whether it’s for a walk, drop-in, or overnight stay, your dog will be in a home full of care, comfort, and companionship just like they deserve.

About: I have hands-on experience taking care of my own pets, two cats and an energetic Australian Shepherd. I’m used to managing different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Whether it’s quiet cuddle time with my cats or daily walks with my dog, I’ve learned how to make pets feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m a full-time online grad student, so I have a pretty flexible schedule. That lets me make sure your pets get their walks, meals, fun, and plenty of company throughout the day. I follow your pet’s schedule and give them plenty of attention and comfort in their own home. I’ll send you regular updates and photos so you know they’re happy and safe.

About: We have two dogs, one is seiko who is an 14 year old Siberian husky-female.She has tamed down a lot over the years but our second dog blaze is a 5 year old husky mix male who has a lot of energy. So we are well versed in a high energy dog. I used to foster for rescues and have dogs at the house. We have a 6ft fenced yard. We are also trained in diggers as we have two ourselves. We walk our dogs multiple times a day and could easily include your pup. We both work from home, 8:00 am to 4:30pm. If we take on a dog to board or sit for the day we would be home the whole time they are in our care. We work full time from home. We would have no reason to leave your dog alone while they are in our care. If one had to leave, the other care taker would stay to be sure we are there for your dog. We have a fenced yard and two kennels If dogs ever needed to be separated. We however would only ever kennel for the safety of the animal and would have no other reason to do it. Our home is your dogs home. We have no issue with them on our furniture unless you don't want that in that case we can block furniture. We work Monday through Friday, 8:00am to 4:30pm EST. We have the ability before and after our shifts but work from home; therefore, if we board your animals, we are with them while working. We have a fenced yard and can crate your animal if needed. Our dogs are friendly and would keep your animals company. We do daily walks, as well.

Driana J.
“I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Driana for 8 years, and during that time, I’ve seen firsthand their incredible love and care for animals. There was one time when it was storming bad outside and she would go out of her way to make sure the dog felt safe and secure. She also went out of her way to purchase a thunder jacket so the dog felt more secure when the thunder was loud outside. Driana has a natural connection with pets, and it’s clear that she understands how to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. What really stands out about Driana is her Love and Careness for animals and to make sure that have the best life growing up. With the two cats I have, she is always looking for the best food to give to them, the best cat litter to use and also looks out for the best feeding bowls to get. I’ve trusted her with my cats on multiple occasions, and each time, she’s gone above and beyond to ensure my pets are well taken care of. She keeps me updated with photos and messages, which always brings peace of mind while I'm away. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Driana as a pet sitter to anyone looking for a compassionate and trustworthy person to care for their animals. Driana has the skills, the heart, and the professionalism needed to provide exceptional pet care. Your pets will be in great hands!”
