“She did a great job. The cats are looked after and well cared for. We got updates and pictures every day for a week. The house was very clean as well, our cats often make messes.”


“Outstanding sitter! Generous with her time and so sweet to our babies! We were away when a hurricane hit and she was there for our wee ones and kept us updated! Thank you Fran!”


“Morgan is the most amazing sitter you could hope for! We had to leave our cats for 2 weeks and for the first time, hire someone to check in on them. We were so nervous to bring a stranger into our home and care for our animals, but Morgan was so caring, paitent and accommodating. She followed directions and stayed in contact when needed. I couldn't recommend her enough! Thank you so much Morgan!”


“Nicole was great with my 2 greyhounds and 2 cats! She met them ahead of time so they were comfortable with her, showed up on time, and followed all the instructions I left. She also sent lots of pictures which I love. We will definitely book with her again in the future”


“Heidi was the Best! She was able to help us on short notice. She kept us updated with photos and texts. It was so nice to feel relaxed while we were away knowing our babies were well taken care of! She even vacuumed the kitty hair before we returned! I recommend her highly!”


About: What sets me apart is my lifelong passion and natural connection with animals of all kinds. I grew up with Yorkies and cats, and I currently share my home with two retired rescue greyhounds. I've also spent time around large breeds like English Mastiffs, so I’m confident handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I have a calm, patient energy that helps pets feel safe and comfortable—whether they’re shy, senior, or full of puppy energy. I understand how important it is for your pet to feel at ease while you're away, and I’m fully committed to creating that sense of home and routine for them. From administering medications to taking gentle walks or just being a warm presence, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily life. I start and end each day with walks and quality time with my two retired greyhounds, so caring for animals is woven into my routine. Whether it’s feeding, walking, giving medication, or just sitting with them for comfort and companionship, I genuinely enjoy every part of it. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets the attention, care, and consistency they need—whether it’s daily drop-ins, overnight stays, or weekend visits. Making animals feel loved and secure is something I take pride in, and it never feels like a task—it’s something I truly love. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or yours, my goal is always the same: to make them feel safe, loved, and as comfortable as possible. I follow each pet's routine closely—feeding schedules, walk times, play preferences, and any special needs like medication or extra quiet time. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and keep things tidy and consistent, so your pet feels secure while you're away. I take the time to get to know their personality and provide calm companionship, play, and affection based on what they enjoy. In my home, pets are treated like family. I create a peaceful, pet-friendly environment with soft spaces to relax, lots of love, and a routine that helps reduce stress. Whether they need extra snuggles, slow-paced walks, or a little patience, I meet them where they are—physically and emotionally.

“Robyn was great with our high energy goldendoodle! She communicated very well before and during the drop-in and it is obvious she has a huge heart for animals. I will not hesitant to hire her again!”

“Stacia and her family are super nice. She and her kids made sure my cats experience was beyond. They spoiled her so much I was afraid she wouldn't want to come home :) I did not worry for a second and had a wonderful (much needed) vacation. I recommend Stacia 150%!!”


“Michele was such a great sitter/caregiver for our kitty, Isabelle. She kept in touch and sent pictures. She made an exception for us as we were out of her area which we really appreciate! We highly recommend her to take care of your kitty kids.”


About: I have experience with dogs,cats reptiles and birds. I have also been known to house the occasional pig,ferret and once a raccoon. But honestly probably wouldn't do a raccoon again. I am available anytime and free all day. I do go out of town and take family trips as often as we can but those are all planned out I have a front and back yard, the from is a courtyard with grass and a very playful neighbor dog if yours want to play and only at your discretion. My back yard is shell and patio. I live in a fenced church area but my yard is not fenced. But your loved one is allowed to be outside and free to run and play. I have carpet free and smoke free home but not kid free. They also love animals and will respect any rules or wishes you may have .
