“Mark did an excellent job of taking care of Luna and my home and left very detailed updates regarding his drop in visits which gave me peace of mind while I was away!!”

“I couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! From the very beginning, they were professional, reliable, and clearly passionate about caring for animals. They took the time to understand my cat’s routine, personality, and needs, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I received regular updates, photos, and little notes that reassured me my cat was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It was obvious my cat felt safe and relaxed, which says everything. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and genuinely caring pet sitter. I will definitely be booking with them again!”

About: I have had pets my entire life from big dogs to small critters! I have a passion for caring for animals and I can not wait to care for your little furry friends! I am currently a shift manager at Starbucks I usually don’t work that job Sunday-Wednesday and will be not available Thursday mornings or Friday and Saturday nights. I do care for my own animals daily and do it around my work schedule as well. I do have a fenced yard with plenty of space for playing in. I do have a Black Labrador to keep your animal company he is a little older and is very gentle around other animals and enjoys taking naps with others! He usually stays downstairs so for other animals who are not comfortable with dogs I have the upstairs floor available and can gate it!
“Lindsay was so great to work with! Our Poodle Pippa had major surgery a week prior so my wife and i were nervous about leaving her with someone new (she’s get too excited and tear her stitches) but when we met Lindsay we were immediately reassured. Very professional, pleasant, and responsible. Not to mention she did all of this on Thanksgiving! Highly recommend.”

About: I have been around dogs my entire life, and held part-time jobs & volunteer positions fostering and helping animals find homes. I work from home full-time and my partner is a registered nurse, so we have very flexible schedules. I also do have my own amazing, handicapped senior dog, so will only accept dogs that are friendly and we’ll trained. I would love the chance to spend time with your pets & make them feel safe while you're at work or away! I know how hard it can be to find good dog sitters, and I want to be that person for someone else! I work from home full-time so am available day or night to help take care of your pets whenever you need. Usually available on weekends too. I have a one bedroom apartment in a high-rise luxury building that is pet-friendly. There are dog parks nearby and nice areas to walk, so I will make sure your pet gets exercise. I also have dog treats and some toys if your dog needs anything.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. I had a golden retriever who sadly passed away 10 years ago and then helped raise and train a collie mix with my parents. After moving out I adopted a dog of my own who needed a lot of behavioral training and patience. I understand what it’s like to have a more difficult pet and am here to help. would love to help care for your dogs like my own. I am unable board your pets in my own home but can pet/house sit at your house or take them on walks regularly I work full time in healthcare Monday-Friday from 8-4 but am available for evening walks. I get major holidays off and am available most weekends to care for your pup as well. I cannot board your dog in my home due to behavioral issues with my own pup however I am able to stay over and care for your pup in the comfortable of their own home. I follow all instructions and guidelines provided to care for your pets appropriately and never allow dogs off leash or to interact with other dogs for safety unless otherwise specified

“Paola was the best!! She gave us such thorough updates, which gave us a great sense of how Milo and Swift were doing throughout our 2-week trip. We honestly loved reading them! She also played with them and did daily walkthroughs, which made us much less worried about them being lonely or getting into trouble in our absence.”


About: I love animals and I will treat your fur babies like they are my own with all the love and attention they want. I promise you that your dog, cat, or any other animal will be well taken care of and loved while you’re away! Brittany I have a full time job and work 40 hours a week ( Saturday through Wednesday). I work 7am-3pm on those days with Thursday and fridays off. I usually prefer to stay at the pets house, if the owner of the house is comfortable with that, just to ensure the animals routine is not disrupted.
“Donna was an absolute blessing while caring for my mother’s cat, Sam. From the start, she showed incredible flexibility, graciously accommodating schedule changes and making the entire process stress-free for our family. What truly stood out was her genuine care and compassion. She didn’t just stop by to complete basic tasks—she spent meaningful time with Sam, making sure he felt comfortable, safe, and loved. It was clear that she treated him as if he were her own, which meant so much to us. Donna was also consistently reliable and dependable. She showed up exactly as promised, followed all instructions carefully, and kept us updated with thoughtful messages that reassured us Sam was doing well. Knowing he was in such caring and capable hands gave us complete peace of mind. I wholeheartedly recommend Donna to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”

“Gabrielle watched our four cats for a week and she is amazing! Gave meds to Willow on schedule, and the reclusive Pippin made a showing. Our home and all things relating to the cats was perfectly taken care of. Gabrielle has a kind and calm nature that made our four cats comfortable. Great communicator too! Highly recommend for pet sitting!!”

“Isaac was great and communicated well! We had a last minute outing to see some family and didn’t want to leave Jolie for 8 hours. Isaac kept her great company and sent lots of pictures so we knew she was happy while we were out!”

About: Taken care of my own cats for 6 years. Work at a shelter caring for different breeds of cats. Attentive to the needs of cats. Daytime hours are best and weekend hours are available. Many flexbile time slots throughout the day, especially if short blocks of time are also needed. I follow all directions from clients, very cognizant of locating any potential dangers to safeguard the animal. Punctual with time sensitive activities and needs of the animals.
“Despite Charlie never coming out from under my bed, Blake showed up daily 2x/day to feed her, try to play, & ensure she had a clean litter box. I think Charlie would have had a pretty fun time, had she stuck her nose out just a little. Lots of funny pics of Charlie's eye &nose! 😁 I'd call Blake again -- he's a responsible cat- sitter.”

“This was our second time booking Ashley, and once again, she was amazing! It was a weekday visit while I had a doctor’s appointment, and knowing she was with Dalton and Tix gave me so much peace. They’re still getting used to having a sitter, so they barked at first (as usual, they cray-cray!), but within 10 minutes they calmed down—which says a lot! Ashley is always right on time, full of patience, and you can tell she genuinely loves animals. She even sent me pictures during the visit, which totally made my morning. If you’re looking for someone calm, reliable, and incredibly kind with pets, Ashley is it. So grateful to have found her! 🐶💛”
