“Bristol was fantastic for drop in visits for both cats and dogs! She was a great help in finding a last minute pet sitter. She is very quick and responsive to messages and included detailed updates about our fur babies, and truly seemed to care about them. Would definitely recommend Bristol for all other pet needs, and will definitely be reaching out again if we need help in the future!!”

“Katie was very attentive, helpful, and took the absolute best care of our cats. She was very accommodating and asked any questions or concerns she may have which we really appreciated. We felt confident that our babies were well taken care of while we were gone. Would definitely recommend booking her.”

“Stephanie was our first ever caregiver for our sweet boy Bud! She is phenomenal & goes above and beyond! She exudes care & love for Bud! We are so lucky to have met her!”


“Renee took great care of my cats over the weekend. I have a persnickety Persian who requires hand feeding and his eyes cleaned. Renee was awesome with them and kept me updated with pictures and feedback from her visit. I came home to happy well cared for kitties. I would highly recommend Renee!”

“April was brilliant with my boys. She also takes amazing pictures! The type I've been trying to get forever!! She is very punctual and works with correcting bad behavior. I could see it when I came home. Thank you so much April!!”

About: With the exception of a few years during college, I have always had animals in my life! I grew up always having a cat and a dog in the house and taking progressively more responsibility for their care as I got older. Now, I'm owned by two dogs (a boxer mix and a lab mix) and two cats, one of which followed my boxer and I home one day and decided to stay. They are by far the best part of my day. With all these fur babies, I've run the gauntlet of pet care challenges, from pilling cats, to dealing with allergies, to working on behaviors like marking and excessive barking. I don't claim to have it all figured out, but what I do know is that it's made me incredibly patient and compassionate with any animals in my care. Plus I've learned a trick or two along the way! I currently work for myself (from home) as a research consultant. While I do have periodic meetings throughout the week, I usually have a significant amount of flexibility in my schedule during the mornings and afternoons. I often find myself going out on multiple long walks throughout the day and generally finding any excuse I can to be outside. So why not use that time to hang out with some new animal friends? My flexible schedule means that I can accommodate most any pet needs. I go for multiple walks every day both on my own and with my own dogs, so it's easy to incorporate lots of activity in your pet's day. I also have an enclosed front porch that we all love sitting outside in the shade on, just enjoying the fresh air. And on hot days, I even have a kiddie pool that one of my dogs likes to play in to cool off. Both my dogs are very friendly and would love to make new friends! One of my cats even enjoys horsing around with the dogs. My dogs have free reign in the house, but usually hang out with me. I'm happy to have your dog(s) make themself at home as well or to crate them if that's your preference.
“Amber is so amazing! Her and my fur baby clicked instantly! Would recommend her to the whole world! Extremely professional, witty, honest and punctual! WONT USE ANYONE ELSE”

“We had a wonderful experience with Jessica R. over the Thanksgiving weekend! Jessica took excellent care of our three dogs, two cats, and even our daughters’ energetic Goldendoodle. Managing that many pets is no small task, but Jessica handled everything with such calm, capable care. She communicated well with us and with our fur babies. We got regular updates, pet photos, and messages from Jessica that put us completely at ease while we were away. All of the animals were relaxed, happy, and clearly well-loved when we returned home. The house was tidy, food and water stations were clean, and it was obvious that our pets received plenty of attention and affection. We’re so grateful to have found someone we can trust with our furry family, and we will absolutely be booking with Jessica R. again. Highly recommend!”

“Keshia was amazing! She left wonderfully detailed notes and it was great to feel like the person taking care of our girl actually cared! I highly recommend Lakeshia and will definitely be using her services in the future!”


About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a kid! I’m comfortable around all dogs, especially large breeds, and willing to adapt to take care of your animal. My time spent during walks, dog park outings, or just taking care of them will be filled with love and intention. I’m a dog mom myself to a 5 year old mixed breed who is full of energy and curiosity! I’m currently home full time and am available for drop-ins or house sittings when needed! With that, I’m also flexible and can accept last minute bookings. When in your home, I’d love to make your fur babies as comfortable as possible and take them for walks, to dog parks, or anything you do to with them to keep their routine!
About: I've taken care of sick dogs, dogs on diets, and dogs that are used to a routine, but am able to take care of any situation. I love to be around animals and will happily make sure your dogs are kept safe and happy. I work Full-time Mon, Tues, Thurs, and Friday from 8:30 - 4:30 and Wed from 11 -7. I am happy to come "home" each day after work to your home and stay during the workweek, I just will not be able to be with them until after work during the week. I am fully available on most weekends, so just let me know what works! For the dogs I have taken care of before, I always walk with leashes, even for well trained dogs, I will be new to them. I always pick up after dogs on walks. I have owned cats and dogs all my life, and am very comfortable with any dog or cat. I will keep doors locked when inside and of course when leaving the house.
“Cori dealt well with my dog’s anxiety about being left with a stranger. Sandi got a walk, water, play time & affection. I will definitely use Cori when we go on vacation & recommend her to anyone who wants personal attention for their dog.”
