“Robin was excellent in every way - very professional, efficient, and our pets loved her (even the cat who hides from everyone was very comfortable with her). What a relief to know they are in good hands! We will be scheduling again!”

About: I'm pretty good at training I love getting to know dogs. I have a senior dog myself so I'm good and administering medications general senior and puppy care. I'm actually unemployed at the moment so I have plenty of time and I understand the importance of routine for pet for reducing stress. I'm happy to do anything you need for you fur baby. Stress is the worst thing about leaving you pets. You're stressed they're stressed so I prioritize make sure it's a stress free as possible. My dog is afraid of storms so if your pet have similar fears or anxieties I know how to comfort them.

“Hard to put into words how appreciatetive I am of Christy. With her visits, and care, my Mom can concentrate on getting better and coming home from the hospital. She does not have to worry about her 2 cats. Christy sends short videos, and photos. Having her mind at ease is a big. My Mom's recovery is a long road. I am grateful to have Christy's help.”


About: I've taken care of animals for as long as I can remember, but especially during my adult life. Cats and dogs and I even have experiencing in birds! I'm also eager to work with other animals as well (mice, rats, etc.). Your fur babies will be loved and cared for when I'm around, giving them extra love and cuddle time while you're away. Their comfort is very important to me, as is yours. I'm a part-time student at OU (feel free to ask me about my work), so my schedule is extremely flexible for whenever you need me to come over for your babies. Evenings will always be best, and I can come over at least twice a day (or three times, if needed) to check on the clients. I owned dogs for most of my life (with a fenced yard). I took them out on walks, played with them regularly, and let them out as needed. What I specialize in, though, are cats and birds. My cat demands lots of cuddles, so that's what she gets, but she also likes to play a lot. I'll be sure to accommodate whatever your precious pet needs.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs. I currently have four cats (two I’ve raised for over 3 years) and two dogs — one who’s been with me for 5 years and is now a senior with different needs, and another I’ve had for 2 years. Over the years, I’ve helped groom and care for pets belonging to friends and family — including baths, brushing, light nail care, and general pet hygiene. I also have experience with puppies, helping young dogs learn basic routines and good habits with patience and positive reinforcement. I understand how important it is to keep pets on a consistent diet and exercise schedule, and I always prioritize their comfort, emotional well-being, and safety. Whether I’m walking, feeding, or just hanging out with your pet, I care for them like they’re my own. I have the flexibility to provide attentive and reliable pet care every day after 2:30 PM. This gives me plenty of time to focus on your pet’s needs—whether it’s feeding, exercise, grooming, or simply spending quality time together. I’m dedicated to maintaining a consistent routine, so your pet will receive regular care and attention without feeling rushed. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just companionship, I’m here to make sure your furry friend feels happy and loved while you’re away. When caring for pets in my home, I create a calm, safe, and loving environment where each animal feels comfortable and well-attended. I follow their specific routines for feeding, exercise, and play, ensuring they get plenty of attention and affection throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and household rules, maintaining consistency with their usual schedules for feeding, walks, and rest. I make sure to keep the home secure and clean, and I provide updates to the owner so they feel confident their pet is well cared for. In both settings, I prioritize the pet’s well-being, comfort, and happiness, treating each one like family.

“Meredith did a fabulous job! She was very thorough and diligent. We liked how she sent us videos of our kitties every day. It seemed like she genuinely loved our babies. And our Liam actually started warming up to her! Slugger might get to the point of warming up to her if she had more time with him. We'll definitely employ Meredith for our future pet sitting needs as long as she's available.”



About: I’ve taken care of dogs for family on and off since high school. More recently I personally have raised 2 puppies into some pretty good boys. I have 3 dogs total that I love! I am a full-time special education teacher. I work from 7-3 most days. I coach Colorgaurd so sometimes I have band practice till 5pm. I can watch, walk, or play with your fur babies after 3 and most anytime on the weekend. I am a very detailed oriented person so I follow directions well! I know how important routine is as well as consistency. But most importantly it is important for pups to know they are loved and cared for. I would love to send pictures and give all the loves and treats!

“Lanisha and Dwon were great! Very patient and attentive about the cats' ridiculous musical chairs food-stealing shenanigans, and they made sure everybody got some play time. Thank you!”


“Rebecca is very caring with my cats. Her reports are very detailed and sends pics so I can see how they are doing. She is also very responsive if I have any questions. My cats really like her which says a lot! She's a great sitter!”


“Emmie did a fabulous job watching our two needy dogs while we went on a 7 day cruise. She was very helpful and communicative and even cleaned up our little chiweenie’s potty accidents for us. I feel so lucky we found such a reliable and caring sitter who we can trust with our pets. We definitely recommend and she will be our first choice for future trips!”


About: I’ve grown up with animals my entire life. My own dog is a 2 year old goldendoodle. I potty trained him and taught him basic commands. I’ve taken my dog to obedience training to learn skills and techniques. I have tons of experience dog sitting with different types of dogs. I have given medication to dogs while dog sitting. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters. Overall I just love dogs! I work Monday-Friday, but after 4pm my afternoons are free. I am free on weekends to provide dog services. At times I have breaks where I am available for weeks at a time. I am available during the summer! I always take my personal dog outside on a leash. When I am not home my dog is in a crate to ensure his safety.

About: I am in my twenties and have had animals all my life. I am a professional pet groomer, and my life revolves around animals. Your pets will be in the best hands! I work at a fear-free certified pet salon where I keep pets comfortable and make them beautiful! Your babies are my top priority and I will make sure they feel safe and loved while their parents are away! There are always a handful of friendly dogs and cats running around my house. I have plenty of space to keep pups separated if needed. I even have a special bedroom set up just for the pups! It is my priority to make your pups feel at home while in my care.

About: What sets me apart from other dog sitters is my genuine love for dogs and specialized care for seniors. I’m experienced in giving medications, providing gentle cuddles, and keeping their space clean and comforting. I treat every dog like family, with patience, kindness, and attention to their unique needs. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule because I do it full time. This allows me to be fully available, flexible, and focused on giving your pets the attention, love, and care they deserve throughout the day. Your animals will never feel rushed or overlooked—they’ll always be my top priority. I provide loving care in my home or yours with cuddles, frequent potty breaks, thorough cleaning, and regular photo updates so you always feel connected.
