“Kathy is awesome! We needed someone to watch our three cats over the Thanksgiving holiday and she made us feel so comfortable to travel away from our boys! Great communication, lovely pictures! Thank you!!”
“Tiffani took fantastic care of my cat while I was out of town. I appreciated her thorough check-in photos and notes, which allowed me to feel confident that the health and happiness of my cat was in good hands. I would happily book Tiffani again and I highly recommend her services!”
“Jessica was amazing! She sent frequent and useful updates on my kitty while I was away, and was extremely easy to communicate with. I felt completely confident with her, and I will be using her again! Thanks again from Emma and Isaac ?”
“Was wonderful. Spent lots of good time with our cat and was very patient with us and our crazy schedule. Communicated great and sent lots of good pictures and videos of our cat. Also gave detailed info on the check in report.”
“Nia put me at ease as soon as I met her! My cat has medical needs and she was so accommodating, judgement free, communicated if there was any concerns, and always kept me feeling like my boy was taken care of so I could enjoy my vacation. There are few people I trust him in the care of and I would book her ten times over. Can’t recommend her enough.”
“Mamie was amazing with our pup. Always kept us updated and made sure Beau was comfortable and taken care of just as we would. Would definitely recommend and have her watch our pup again ❤️”
About: I’ve had numerous pets over my entire life. My daughter and I are looking to provide love and care to dogs or cats in our area on an as needed basis. Our schedule is flexible until the school years starts and then will be on an as needed basis for nights and weekends. I would prefer the care be provided in the client home. Due to having a handicapped daughter in our home, I would prefer to provide the care in the client home. I can provide drop-in’s, walks, daily care, or overnight care.
“Had a good repertoire from the meet and greet onwards. We had no worries that our two kitties would be well cared for in our absence. Luna kept us well-updated on what our boys were up to and sent pictures as well. If we ever need a sitter again, we'll be checking with Luna first!”
About: I grew up taking care of horses and a cat. Once I got a place of my own, I adopted two dogs and got a cat. I currently have a puppy who I am teaching basic commands. I have always been an animal lover and enjoy meeting new furry friends! My family and I love animals and look forward to meeting yours! I currently work full time from home with limited travel, but I do have a flexible schedule that allows me to plan around work to walk dogs or do potty breaks. I have a fenced in yard with two friendly dogs and a cat. I can easily crate your pet if needed. I enjoy walking and my son loves to play fetch with dogs!
About: I’ve taken care of multiple dogs and cats, growing up with 5 dogs and 6 cats at once. I now have a Lab, Great Pyrenees, mix whom I have trained and taken care of since a puppy. She is an energetic and roudy dog who needs constant attention and affection, so loving animals comes easy to me especially with my little partner. I also grew up with 12 cows, so I am comfortable with those bigger “grass puppies” if needed! I’m currently looking for a full time job, but am available right now all day every day. I’m a student athlete who wrestles in college, so for right now I train from 7am-9am. After that I am completely free to play with any fur babies that need loving. Any holidays are also completely open in my schedule. I have a fenced in small yard, which my pup loves to play in. She is spoiled so she sleeps on the bed with me, and even gets her own blanket, but she is also trained and is working on her recall. She knows the basics along with some party tricks I have taught her! I’m able to get comfortable with animals and owners, to assure that your pets will be safe and loved during the whole visit. I’m experienced in dog, cat, cow, sheep, and disabled dog care. Growing up on a small farm, I was well rounded with the care of our 5 dogs, 6 cats, and 12 cows along with our 4 sheep!
“Anna was extremely professional, courteous, and kind watching our cat while we were gone! Communication was amazing and when we got home our baby seemed very happy. You could tell how well Anna took care of him and the house. I would love to have her again!”
About: Hello! My name is Zoe. My family have always had a pup while growing up. Each member of my family has a furry member. Currently I am the proud owner of our family dog. She is 12 years old and a Chocolate Lab/Blue Heeler Mix. As well as a proud auntie to a German Shepard, Pit Bull, & Doberman Mix. I believe our pets aren't just pets, they are family. I have experience caring and loving for all animals. My love for being outside and going for walks, as well as how deeply I care for every animal, made me want to meet and care more furry friends! I am very excited to meet your furry member of the family! I do work full time, Monday-Friday second shift. I also have a pup of my own that I will prioritize. My time available is a bit limited but my weekends and mornings are free to spend walking and caring for your animals! I treat my pup just like I would a child and I will do the same for yours! Before caring for your furry family member 1-on-1, I would do a meet and greet so you and your pup feel safe and we can build trust with one another!
About: I've owned and cared for many different breeds and ages of dogs my whole life! I have a soft spot in my heart for animals and promise to take the best care of your fur babies! I am a full-time teacher from 7-2:30, but outside of my hours I am very flexible! I am also flexible most weekends and have my own transportation. In my years of working with animals, I remain vigilant and caring of your animals, as I know I would want the same for my animals at home!
“Erica was awesome! She was incredibly responsive and really took care of my cats while I was out of town. She uploaded photos each time, which was nice to see their fluffy faces. Thank you!”
About: I’ve been around and taken care of dogs since I was young, All sizes from larger breeds to little dachshunds. I absolutely love it and it’d be amazing if I could make my love for dogs a career. My schedule is wide open—I’m available to walk your pup almost anytime! Flexible, reliable, and ready when you need me. Let’s get those tails wagging! I am willing to care for your furry friend in your home. If you have any details about your fur-baby you need to add, any special medications, etc. Always let me know.
About: I have had animals of my own my whole life. I have 2 cats and 2 dogs. One of my dogs takes thyroid medicine so I am familiar with administering medicine. I have cared for family and neighbor pets: both cats and dogs. I love playing and spending time with animals, so your pet will for sure get lots of loving!! I am home from college for the summer and work a part time job, so I will have plenty of time to care for your fur babies! I care for the pets in my clients home by taking them out to go potty, making sure they have food and water and making sure they get all the loving before I leave. If the client requests something specific then I will accomodate for their request the best I possibly can!
About: I’ve had a dogs in my life, since I was a child, and was introduced to cats as I ventured into the collegiate life. As an adult I have cared for dogs primarily, but recently had the opportunity to take care of the sweetest cats! I am fairly patient with pets and like to give them as much space as they like to try to not mess up the routines, but if they are balls of energy and cuddle bugs, I am more than happy to comply! I believe that walks and healthy roaming space is good for a dog’s, development and energy, and respecting a cat to make the first move to ensure respect and comfort to their environment. Hi! I’m a full-time high school interpreter and a lifelong animal lover. During the school year, I spend my days helping students thrive in the classroom — and now that summer’s here, I’m excited to dedicate my time to caring for your pets! I like doing research on the neighborhoods that I’m going into if it’s a new area, and like to understand what you have available, either a dog park, or a fenced backyard, to really understand how to best care for your dog. My dog is a big ball of energy so I have learned a lot of skills to be able to make sure that they stay in their assigned spaces, I do like to keep them with me on my lap as I work, or nearby letting them enjoy a nap.
About: I grew up with multiple dogs in my home. And have always had a natural draw to them. Will gladly go above and beyond to provide them all the love and care while you're gone I currently have a couple part time endeavors and am able to create my own schedule, so am open to weekends and weekdays. Very flexible. I cater to all pets needs when in your home. Including walking, potty breaks, feeding, cleaning up after them, etc. Willing to get mail, and if there's any extras needed by the homeowner

Makayla P.
“We have used Makayla several times over the past 3 years when my son had out of town baseball games. We loved the fact that she lived close and would come over several times a day during the time we had a new puppy. She always charged us a flat fee which others wouldn’t do. My family never had any issues with er in fact I always thought she did more that asked when the dogs occasional destroyed a new toy.”
