“Taylor was new to our two cats. Even though they were shy, she stayed to help them meet a new person. Taylor was very thoughtful to check the house for safety as well. I would definitely book Taylor again!”

“We were very pleased to have Erin look after our cats while we were on vacation. She took excellent care of our kitties and was very reliable and caring. The regular updates and photos from her drop in visits were reassuring and very much appreciated. We will be rebooking with Erin in the future!”

About: I’m a graduate student with a bachelors of science in Biology and a concentration in pre-vet, working towards a career in veterinary medicine with years of hands-on experience caring for animals. I’ve worked in a clinical hospital and an animal shelter with both cats and dogs, gaining experience with a wide range of temperaments, ages, and needs. I’ve also taken multiple animal-focused college courses that strengthen my understanding of proper care, behavior, and health. In addition, I’ve provided pet sitting and dog walking for friends, family, and neighbors for several years. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and make sure every animal feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I’m currently working part-time, but I have as much time as I can give for your fur baby! I coach softball so I’m away part of July but other than that my schedule is pretty open. I prioritize pet safety by following routines closely, maintaining clean spaces, and respecting your home. I ensure pets are supervised, secure, and comfortable at all times.

“Ace was wonderful with our kitty. Attentive, caring, and communicated a lot along the way. Didn’t shy away from having to give him insulin. I would absolutely use them again for cat sitting!”

About: The family for my last petsit said this: "[Our dog] had nothing but wonderful things to say about you, she was very happy when we got home, that means she didn't feel upset at all. Yay!!! Thank you again!! " I've cared for households with multiple pets, including cats, dogs, multiple cats, multiple dogs, and a combination of the above. I've often had people reach back out to me to sit for them again. I love to follow your instructions as closely as possible to help out your animals with the stress of owner absence. I find it important to take time to play with and sit with animals. I'm familiar with giving pets medication, whether through pill pockets, food, or other methods. If your kitties are particular about litter cleaning, I am happy to provide that more frequently as well. I work with energy and empathy in my other jobs, so I am able to bring a calm presence for animals and pay attention to their energy when caring for them. I value consent-based interaction, so I allow animals to warm up to me before petting them. I have flexible work, so I can arrange to stay with your pets or drop in at your convenience. One of my jobs works well with being at home, so I can stay put. I tend to lock doors, being familiar with city living. Integrity and trust are paramount to me, so you can trust that I will treat your home well and honor any areas you don't want me to be in. I know it's a lot to trust a stranger in your home while you are away -- I am happy to provide references and other information to make you feel safe. You know your pet best, so I pay attention to how you make sure your pets stay inside to keep it that way. I am always happy to text updates and pictures :)

“This is the second time we had Melanie take care of our four cats - she gets a 16 (out of 16) paws up from the 4 cats! We came home to very clean food bowls and litter boxes. Food was also left organized! She had great communication. She even accommodated a special diet and feeding cats in two locations. Will use again! Top ratings for Melanie!”

About: While working as a travel nurse, I had the privilege of staying in many homes with pets of all personalities and needs, giving me experience adapting to different routines and environments. I bring a calm, grounded, and intuitive presence that helps animals feel safe and at ease. I'm naturally nurturing (a mama to my own two kitties), attentive to the little details, and I truly enjoy building trust with every animal. My goal is for your pet to feel loved, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away, and for you to have complete peace of mind. I genuinely enjoy starting and ending my day with walks, playtime, feeding, and quality time with animals. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide dependable care while giving pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I love being outdoors, so daily walks are something I truly look forward to, and I always make time for cuddles, enrichment, and keeping pets comfortable in their own routine. My parents have an elderly cockapoo who has taught me the importance of patience, gentle care, and paying attention to the little changes that come with aging. My husband and I also have two cats, so I'm familiar with their daily routines, from feeding and litter box care to playtime, affection, and respecting each cat's unique personality. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved every day.

“Trista was wonderful! She sent great pictures of all the pets. They all look so happy and well cared for. Great communication and followed all instructions. You can tell she really cares for your pets. We would highly recommend! 😊”

“Clara was wonderful! If you’re looking for someone who is responsible and great with animals, then Clara is the right choice. We were away all day so Clara came by to walk and hang out with our very energetic yellow Labrador named Lulu. She did a great job and Lulu was nice and calm when we got back home! Thank you Clara!”

“Amanda was great! She was consistent and made sure my cats had everything they needed. Including taking care of cleaning the cat bowls and picking up after one of them got sick. She gave good updates. Would use again and recommend to others.”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets, including dogs, bunnies, and birds. Growing up with different types of animals taught me how to adapt to each pet’s unique personality, needs, and routines. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic dogs who need structured walks and play, to smaller animals that require gentle handling and consistency. I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and mood to make sure every pet is happy, healthy, and comfortable. I currently have open availability, which allows me to be flexible and fully accommodate your pet’s routine. Whether your pet needs early morning visits, midday check-ins, or evening care, I can adjust my schedule to fit their needs. Because I’m not rushing between commitments, I’m able to give each pet focused, unhurried attention during every visit. I care for pets in their own home, where they feel most safe and comfortable. My approach is always needs-based, meaning I follow your pet’s routine closely and adjust to their personality. whether they need lots of interaction or a calm, low-key presence.

I absolutely love exercise, especially with a dog by my side:) I’m currently working as a high school health teacher. I have afternoons and weekends off each week. I would love to have something to do in my free time:) I will not be taking dogs in my own home but I am a quick learner and could easily use materials in your home to take care of your animals.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of care, consistency, and attention I give to every pet. I don’t just stop in to complete tasks—I take the time to understand each animal’s personality, routine, and comfort level so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. I have experience with a variety of needs, including puppy care and basic training reinforcement. I can help maintain potty schedules, crate training, and simple commands, keeping things consistent so your puppy continues learning even when you’re not home. I’m also very comfortable with senior pet care, providing a slower, more attentive approach. I pay close attention to mobility, behavior, and any special routines to make sure older pets stay comfortable and stress-free. In addition, I’m detail-oriented and reliable. I carefully follow feeding schedules, instructions, and any special care requirements, and I always make sure your home and your pet’s space stay clean and well-maintained. Above all, I treat every pet like they’re my own—giving them patience, attention, and genuine care rather than just supervision. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule around visits to ensure pets are fed, exercised, and given attention at consistent times. I’m reliable, flexible, and able to accommodate morning, afternoon on weekends and can provide full evening care, making sure each pet gets the time and consistency they need. For safety and trust, I always follow owner instructions carefully, keep environments clean and secure, and pay close attention to any changes in behavior or health. I treat every home with respect and make sure pets are always in a safe, comfortable environment. tailor my care based on each pet’s routine and the specific service requested, whether it’s drop-in visits, walks, or extended stays. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping everything as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m also attentive to litter box or yard cleanup, administering medications if needed, and maintaining a clean, safe environment. I respect your home, keep things tidy, and always make sure doors, gates, and pets are secure before leaving. No matter the setting, my goal is to provide consistent, reliable care so your pet feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.
