Bryn was absolutely amazing! She took such good care of my cats, which is not the easiest task since one needs medications. It was a last minute ask and she was available, and jumped in with no hesitation. I honestly am glad that my other sitter canceled because I got to have the best care from Bryn! My only concern is that my cats will miss her to much.

About: I have taken care of dogs for a friend for a few years now. I also have experience with taking care of a local family’s 2 sweet dogs. I have been their go to for a few years now. I also have experience as a pet owner, I grew up with dogs my entire life, at one time we had a pack of 8. My goal is to ease your pet’s anxiety when their favorite person is not there. I will work to make sure your pet has the structure they need, the enrichment they crave, and the love they deserve. I do work full time Monday -Friday 8am-5pm so I am free on weekends and happy to stay with the animals when I’m not working. I can also check in on my lunch hour to ensure they have the restroom breaks they need and the enrichment time. I am very attentive when I am caring for you furry family members. I make sure that they have fresh water and get fed at the correct times. I always send photo updates each time the pets go outside or eat. I am very flexible with what is required if you’re able to be flexible and understanding of my work schedule.

Yana is great! She was scheduled for a drop in for my dogs. They loved her and she gave attention to my cat as well (not that he gives anyone a choice). The dogs were happy and worn out when I got home. I will absolutely be booking with her again.

Danielle is amazing! She is extremely professional and communicative. She met up with me before the trip and took great care of my cat, Ellie. Ellie can be shy and cautious of new people but Danielle took her time and gave her lots of love, space, and patience. Can’t wait to book with her again!

About: I grew up with pets and have been dog and cat sitting since middle school for friends, family, and neighbors. In high school, my mom started doing Rover, and I loved coming home after school to a new friendly face every day! I’m happy to go on walks, cuddle on the couch, play in the yard, or simply hang out—whatever makes your pet happiest. I work full-time, but I’m happy to carve out time before work, during my lunch break, or promptly at 5 p.m. to give your pet some love and attention. If you work long hours, need a midday break for your pet, or need help on evenings or weekends, I’m flexible and happy to work around your schedule! I’m happy to follow any guidelines you provide to keep your pet comfortable and on their normal routine. I can accommodate walks of any length, carefully follow feeding and medication instructions, and pay close attention to your pet’s individual needs, quirks, and preferences. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away!

edie was perfect for our needs! It was our first time leaving our feral siblings alone after adopting them a year ago. She followed all instructions perfectly and asked questions as needed. I was surprised and pleased to see that both cats came out to greet her during her visits! We will definitely use her again whenever possible.

We cannot speak highly enough of Danielle. Our cat is the center of our world, and reading her visit updates are the highlight of our day when away. Danielle includes some absolutely gorgeous photos each time, with a blurb highlighting the funny and adorable antics our little boy gets up to each day.

Jamie is amazing! She followed the directions to care for my puppy, Ruby perfectly! She always makes sure to send adorable update photos of her and keeps me informed as to how my pup did while under her care. I have had Jamie do multiple drop in visits for Ruby, and she will continue to be the first person I come to whenever I need someone to watch her! I would highly recommend Jamie to anyone who is looking for someone kind, pays close attention to detail, and is trustworthy for your pet!

Tessa was an absolute lifesaver when I needed a cat sitter on such short notice. She was so kind and attentive to both of my cats, and I felt completely at ease knowing they were in her care. She sent me the cutest pictures during her drop-ins, which I absolutely loved getting! One of my cats is VERY shy and spent most of the time hiding under the bed, but Tessa was so patient with her and even brought her food under the bed to make sure she was eating and comfortable. My other cat is a bit more social and absolutely loved all the playtime and attention she got! It was so sweet seeing the pictures of her having the best time.l

I highly recommend Samantha as a pet sitter, especially if you have pets with high anxiety that leads to behavioral issues. Her ability to calm and connect with dogs is phenomenal. Both of my dogs have anxiety and one has trust issues, but Samantha quickly made my Milo her friend. During her visits, Samantha communicated with me often and sent pictures so that I would know my pups were okay. She loved on them as I would. I cannot express how much all of this meant to me and how it put me at ease. Samantha has earned my dogs’ trust and mine. I will definitely use her services again!
