About: Cat person for life. I currently have four, as well as an Australian shepherd. I used to travel a lot for work, so I understand how stressful it can be making sure the four legged babies have everything they need when away. I’m here to help any way I can, whether it’s giving a medication or helping with the potty stuff! I recently left a demanding corporate job and currently am very flexible, morning, evening, during the week or on the weekend works great for me! I would care for the pet as instructed by the owner. I understand all animals have their own personality and preferences and their owners know best. I also want the owners to feel comfortable knowing their pet is in good hands while they cannot be home!

“Keira has been an incredible help when it comes to caring for my cat in my absence. Her nurturing and loving demeanor towards my kitty has been heartwarming. Even when I'm away, I have peace of mind knowing that Keira is there to provide not just the basics but genuine love and attention to my cat. She goes above and beyond to ensure my cat feels safe, happy, and loved. Keira's dedication and compassion make her an outstanding caregiver, and I'm grateful to have her as a roommate and a friend”


10. Jeff & Kelly R.

“Jeff and Kelly are fantastic cat sitters! Reliable, trustworthy, and communicative - it was great to read their visit notes and receive pictures of the cats while we were away. Our super shy guy even came out from under the bed during their visits, which doesn't happen with most people. We came home to two very relaxed and contented kitties who are probably looking forward to us traveling again so they can have their new friends Jeff and Kelly over. :)”

About: I’d love to help by letting your dog out or taking them for a walk while you are away. I also feed cats and other pets. I love being outdoors and having 2 dogs myself they are so fun to be around I’m available on weekends to let your dogs out or take them for quick walks or check in the cats and feed them. We know how hard it is to get someone to do these services so we figured we’d offer it up on weekends. We take our two dogs for daily walks l, volunteer at the Humane Society, and have been taking care of pets since I was a kid.

“Elizabeth Searle is the most honest, caring,responsible person. She has been a health care provider as well so she would be the best care provider and pet sitter. Sincerely Jane Rich”


13. shannon m.
“My dog Ackee loves her adventures with Shannon! Shannon has looked after Ackee in Santa Barbara, LA and Jackson Hole, WY. Ackee is high-energy and Shannon takes her for long hikes and to parks where Ackee can play with friends. Even while it was winter in Wyoming, Shannon always made sure Ackee got plenty of activity. Shannon gives Ackee constant love and is always looking out for her safety. Ackee notoriously tries to eat random food and items she finds on the ground and Shannon is extra attentive to make sure Ackee doesn't ingest anything she isn't supposed to. Shannon is a trustworthy and loving dog walker and is always prompt with pick ups and drop offs.”


14. Sara Z.

“Sara did a wonderful job with our dog when we needed way last minute assistance. She modified her schedule to help us and we deeply appreciated it. She got along great with our dog and we came home to a happy pup. We love to have her back when we need dog care help.”


15. Chelsie P.

“Chelsie was great. She did exactly what we discussed ahead of time and I would not hesitate to call on her again. Thank you for taking care of our pups.”
