“Tyler has been amazing with my two cats. I truly appreciate his attentiveness, his flexibility with my changing schedule, and the peace of mind he provides. I’m especially grateful for his care as one of my cats is recovering after an eight-month battle of being ill. Siar’s survival feels nothing short of a miracle, Tyler’s role has been pivotal in his recovery. Excellent care!”

About: I have been dog sitting for over 15 years and loved every minute. I think dogs and cats are incredible and very smart animals that deserve to be taken care of with the best quality. Being a dog owner myself, I know that if I needed someone to take care of my dog, I would want it to be someone that I could trust and rely on. I believe that I ama very reliable, trustworthy, and responsible person. I mostly work from home, so my availability is very open. I am looking forward to helping you with anything that you need to make sure your pet is taken well care of while you are away. I currently work mostly from home Monday through Friday, so I can be available to come over anytime during the weekdays, and my weekends are also open. I am unable to take in pets at my apartment because of the strict rules but I can come your residence as many times as you would like while you are away.

“I will use Maria literally every time it works with our schedules! She takes the best care of my cat (who is sometimes a monster) and rolls with the craziness with an awesome attitude. Huge thanks to Maria!”

About: My family has had 2 dogs so I have been caring for pets since I was very young. I am especially capable at getting your pets the exercise they need, whether they are young pups or grey seniors! I currently work full time so I would be there to help your pets in the late afternoon/evening. It’s important to make sure that pets have their outside time before they settle in for the night and thats why I’m here to help. I am very careful and attentive when it comes to walking/watching dogs. I make sure to let them have their fun and be active while making sure they do not become too rowdy.

“Zoe was terrific with our poodle. He instantly connected with her and was well taken care of.”

Amanda H.

“As we have come to expect, Mya gave our cat Link professional, loving care. We are most grateful to be able to count on her and know that Link is in the best of hands so we can enjoy traveling! She always gives us detailed information and delightful photos of each day’s visit. We highly recommend Mya for anyone’s special pet!”

Mary T.

“Larissa is a fantastic sitter for your pet/pets! My 2 kitties were very well cared for by Larissa! She gave them the attention they needed and the photos she took showed this! Thank you Larissa!”

About: I have over 15 years of pet-sitting experience, 2 years working in a boarding facility, and I’m currently employed at an emergency veterinary hospital. My background gives me a solid foundation in recognizing early signs of illness or distress, and I’m trained in basic emergency protocols (non-technician level). I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages—from crazy puppies to wise seniors—as well as administering oral medications, following specialized diets, and accommodating medical restrictions. I do ask that owners reach out in advance to discuss any medical needs, as I won’t perform care I’m not 100% confident in. I’ve worked with dogs of all temperaments, including shy or timid pups, and I have one of my own! My goal is to provide calm, capable, and compassionate care so both you and your pet feel safe and supported. :) While I currently work full-time and attend school part-time, I have open availability from 10:00 AM to 11:00 PM on Tuesdays through Thursdays. On Fridays, I’m available after 1:30 PM. I’m happy to discuss specific scheduling needs and will always do my best to accommodate you and your pet’s routine! I’ve always been an animal lover—definitely more of an “animal person” than a “people person.” That passion led me into the veterinary field, where I’ve gained a strong foundation in animal care and safety. During drop-in visits and walks, my focus is on keeping your pet happy, comfortable, and safe in their familiar environment. I know being away from their people can be stressful, so I will do my very best to provide companionship, play, and plenty of reassurance. I'm attentive to each pet’s energy level and personality, and I always respect their boundaries. I’m also experienced in reading canine body language, which helps me provide a positive and low-stress experience on every visit. I love sharing updates, so you can expect regular photos, videos, and even a FaceTime call if you'd like! I keep my schedule manageable to ensure your pet gets the dedicated time and care they deserve.

“Michael was so patient with my shy and reactive kitty. He tried multiple methods to engage with her and knew when to give her space. He followed my instructions very closely and I was very comfortable trusting him with my pet.”
