“Amazing and caring sitter! I hired Kate to check on my senior cat 2x a day while we were out of town. She administered medication, changed the litter box, fed and watered, checked our mail, and watered our plant. When our flights got delayed, she was able to come to additional last minute drop in. We will definitely book again!”


“Amanda, did such a great job! She made me feel at ease leaving my boys (2 cats) for a week with plenty of updates and pictures. Her descriptions gave a play by play of what my cats were up to during her visits and perfectly captured my cats personalities. Made me feel like she really understood them! One of my boys needs daily eye drops and monitoring of bathrooms habits and she was able to administer the drops and was willing to pay attention to litter deposits! Thank you, Amanda!”


“Jacki took such good care of our cats while we were gone. She is so thoughtful and also brought in our mail and packages that came. We would definitely work with her again!”


“Steffney exceeded all of my expectations! First she made connection with our puppy dog while massaging his ears, holding his face, speaking kindly to him and maintaining eye contact with him. Steffney continued engaging our puppy in outdoor playful fun, running with him in our fenced yard and all the while talking to him. He loved it! At lunchtime, Steffney followed every step in mixing our dog's special prescription meal. Steffney was energetic, focused, attentive, and very interactive with our puppy during our drop-in visit. I loved that Steffney spoke to our dog all during her time with him even as she was leaving. Steffney is Five Stars in every way!”


“Meggie is an absolutely amazing sitter. She was so kind and thoughtful from the beginning. She was very flexible with my schedule and so accommodating of all my requests for my cat’s care. She truly went above and beyond and my cat clearly felt very comfortable with her. 10/10 would absolutely recommend”


“Kat took care of our cat Sneezy while we had to head out of town unexpectedly. She was fantastic, and made a trip out for a meet and greet beforehand to make sure her and Sneezy got along, and even sent us pictures. We'll definitely be using her again if we ever have to be out of town again in the future!”


“Very happy to have Michaela come check on all 4 of my cats, in fact I now have her come spend a full hour a day with them instead of the half hour I use to have her do. She does a great job.”



About: I'm retired, so I'm available most of the time. I have worked with two different German Shepherd Rescues as a foster mom. I also volunteer at the local regional animal shelter. I have helped train many dogs over the years. I also have quite a bit of cat experience, as well as birds, fish and reptiles, I enjoy being a pet sitter, providing safety and love for them while their parents are away. I offer FREE MEET & GREETS! (A Meet & Greet is necessary for the first visit, no exceptions) I have many reviews in my profile from past sitting jobs. I am retired and available as noted on my calendar. I find that dogs are creatures of habit, and make every attempt to feed, exercise and play at the same time every day. I find that this helps dogs to feel safe and comfortable. My dog, Sky, is AKC "Star Puppy" and "Advanced Obedience" trained. I have a strong skill set for helping anxious dogs, along with general play and pet engagement.

About: Hi! I’m Ashley, I'm a lifelong dog lover who’s excited to help care for your pup. I work from home two days a week and offer loving, dependable care whether your dog needs companionship, walks, or just someone to check in while you’re away. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities — from high-energy puppies to chill senior dogs — and I always take time to learn what makes each one happiest. Whether it’s belly rubs, structured walks, or cozy couch naps, I’ll match your dog’s vibe. I pride myself on keeping a calm, safe space with plenty of attention when I’m home. When I’m out, I make sure they’re secure, comfortable, and on their routine. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pup is doing! Let’s schedule a meet-and-greet — I’d love to connect and learn about your dog’s unique needs. I currently work from home two days a week, which allows for extra attention, potty breaks, and companionship during the day. On the other three in-office days, I’m available for early morning, evening, and overnight care depending on your needs. I’m also fully available on weekends, making me a great option for weekend getaways, dog walking, or extended care. No matter the schedule, I’ll always keep your pet's routine in mind and provide updates to give you peace of mind. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I take every precaution to ensure they are secure, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. I never leave pets unattended in unsecured spaces — whether indoors, in a yard, or during walks. I always use leashes, double-check gates and doors, and follow any safety instructions or routines you provide. I treat every pet like they’re my own and respect the trust you place in me to care for them. You can count on me for reliable, attentive care and regular updates, so you always know your pet is in safe hands.

About: I have a wide range of experience with dogs, cats, reptiles and small animals. I have owned cats, dogs, mice, rats, geckos, birds, fish, ferrets and rabbits. I currently have several cats of my own and they are treated like they are my kids. I have alot of experience with feral cats and cats with behavioral issues. I have a cat who is diabetic so I have experience in giving insulin shots. I also have experience with and own both FIV+ and FeLV+ cats. I have experience in medicating cats as well, as I have several on medication in my home. I work overnights Sunday through Thursday. I have my own cats and a few fosters, we have a set routine with breakfast and medications when I get home. In the evenings is playtime, social and cuddle time. Then before I go to work at night, they are all tucked in with a special treat before I leave. I like to stick to routine with my cats, it helps them feel safe and makes everything run smoother in a multi pet home. I am available in the evenings to help with your pet(s) Sunday through Thursday and on Fridays and Saturdays I have a very flexible schedule and can work with almost any times of the day/evening/afternoons. I also am available during holidays. I assure you your pet is safe in my hands. I do alot of work behind the scenes with friends in rescue and have alot of hands on experience with handling and caring for animals safely. My home environment is safe and clean. I am trust-worthy and kind, and I love all living things. I have to pass background checks for the type of work I do, so I have a clean background. I may be able to board cats on occasion under certain circumstances. If it is short term boarding, I have a nice sized bathroom that they could have the freedom of staying in there with me. I have leukemia positive cats in my home so this would keep them safely in their own area without exposure to my cats. They would have their own clean litter box and food bowls and lots of toys/and amenities will staying in the "Paula's luxury bathroom suite"!

About: We’re a pet-loving home with 3 cats and 2 sweet senior dogs—all friendly, spayed/neutered, and great with guests! Your pet will feel right at home with plenty of love, snuggles, and playtime. I am available everyday, if I am boarding in my home I am available to come and go a lot. If boarding in your home I am available to stop by multiple times during the day/night. I have a fenced yard & two senior dogs who enjoy company. They’re still young at heart! 3 cats who are very social and enjoy new faces.

About: I love animals. I grew up with cats and dogs. I sing. I believe life is an adventure, and I'm ready to try something fresh and new. Our furry family need special love and attention, and I am always happy and willing to provide that to them. This is just a stepping stone. I grew up with a number of family pets around, making an otherwise chaotic world seem more serene and peaceful. Magical even. This opportunity seems to fit into my current lifestyle perfectly. I am trustworthy, dependable, and kind. I listen more than I speak. I love to watch movies and TV. Pet care is not work, for me. I consider it play time. I perform off of pure instincts. To be quite frank, I enjoy animals. I like to spend a lot of time outdoors. But, while indoors, pets will have their own area to lounge in. Your pets will almost consider me a friend, if not family.
