Emily did an excellent job updating me on my cats while I was away. Followed instructions and was very communicative during the time I was away. Would recommend highly to anyone looking for a great pet sitter.

Brittany was wonderful! We needed someone on shorter notice and she was super flexible and accommodating for both our doggos. They seemed very happy and well taken care of. Thank you, Brittany!!

About: Hello 😁 I have experience with dogs of all sizes but have an extra space in my heart for larger breeds. I grew up with 4 cats, so I’m no stranger to them either! I don’t have pets of my own so that I can spend time taking care of so many others. If I get the privilege of an overnight sit, you will always come back to a clean home, guaranteed ✨ I work from home, so I’m always available for longer sits as well as shorter visits and walks. Weekdays and weekends are great, I just like to plan ahead as much as possible. I make sure to honor specific and detailed instructions so that I can provide the same level as care as you do! I want your babies to feel like you never left. I’ll never fill your shoes, but I will surely try 🙂

About: I take care of my dog Cindy at home, she loves going on long walks and runs. While I'm at campus Im constantly walking between buildings so I have the stamina for a high energy dog! I'll make sure your baby is tuckered out from a fun day. I'm completely home for the summer, I do commissions on the side but I keep my work portable so my schedule is beyond clear. At home I'm in charge of keeping the dog occupied and making sure the cats are taken care of. This means going on walks when the weather allows it and playing tug a war with her. I feed my dog in a puzzle feeder to keep her brain stimulated while I clean the cats litter boxes and give them all a can of wet food when my senior cat decides to come downstairs. I have them all on this routine which I've kept consistent since I've been home. I like making routines and sticking to them both in my work ethic and how I go about taking care of my pets. Consistency is key and I try to be as consistent as possible. If theres a specific route your dog loves to go on I would love to walk it that way, if theres a specific toy your cat loves I'd love to play with it. If your pets need to be fed at a specific time they will be fed at that time!

About: I love animals and have experience working with and sitting for a wide range of them, including dogs, cats, and small or exotic animals. I myself have owned over twenty parrots (currently have two in the aviary!) and have extensive experience with fishkeeping — I have four cycled, walstad fish and shrimp tanks! I can walk your dog, clean your cat’s litter box, and even do water changes for your fish if needed! Anything to make sure your little guys are well cared for! I’m a graduate social work student who will be free over the summer, so my schedule is flexible until August. I can make myself available as needed. My own pets are given daily care. I own several disabled animals who require special care in order to get around and eat on their own. I currently have two budgies in a large cage l and two betta fish, each in 5-10 gallon tanks. The parrots are allowed to free fly for most of the day, but they will be put away when your pets are being boarded. In your home, I try not to disturb or move anything that’s not necessary. I’ll make use of only what’s given to me with regards to caring for your pet — but I do reserve the right to cuddle your pet a little more!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a child, and love spending time with animals! I also foster cats in my free time and like to volunteer with local shelters! I’m currently in medical school, so this is a part time position for me, helping me to pay for my education and honestly supporting my mental health! I like to provide a calm and stable environment, and take pride in my ability to understand dog/cat body language, which helps me provide appropriate care!

Cindy was fantastic with my dog! She was very helpful throughout the entire process, always on time, and a great communicator. I really appreciated how responsible and attentive she was, knew my dog was in good hands while I was gone. I would definitely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.

About: I’ve had pets in my house from dogs & cats to fish & turtles my whole life!! Whether it’s raising a litter of cats, cleaning up accidents, or administering oral medication, I’ve done it all. While I’ve only taken care of friends’ pets a handful of times, they’ve been impressed by my thorough care & effort every time! I’m currently job-hunting and out of school, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! My only setback is going to church certain days of the week, but otherwise I can be available anytime! I understand that every home is different & can adjust to your setup & layout easily, no judgement here! Just let me know what it is you need done for your pet/house and I can do it.

About: From fostering dogs to working at a wildlife rehab, animals have always been a huge part of my life. I bring patience, reliability, and attentive care to every pet. I work from home in Animal Control Administration, so your pet will have my full attention all day. I am available nights, weekends, and holidays. My home is quiet with no other cats or dogs, making it a calm, stress-free space. I treat every pet like my own, giving them plenty of love and attention. In your home, I’ll follow their usual routines — feeding, walks, play, and snuggles — so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
