I highly recommend Denise to care for your sweet pup! She was very communicative throughout our trip. She showed up on time for every drop in visit. Our fur baby was happy and healthy when we returned.

Catherine was great with my pets. She took care of my two dogs and also made sure my cat got his insulin injections 2x a day which was my biggest concern with finding someone for them. She sent me pictures and a description of her visit every time which made being away from them so much easier. I highly recommend Catherine!

Michael was great watching our boy Maverick! Maverick is a 110lb Doberman and Michael did a great job handling him on walks! He was reliable with letting him out 3x per day and making sure Maverick had food and water. Overall, we felt super comfortable with him taking care of our baby while we were out of town! We will definitely be using him again in the future!

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life since childhood, and every summer I eagerly took on pet-sitting opportunities for friends, family, and neighbors. I have experience caring for pets of all ages…from energetic puppies and playful kittens to senior dogs and cats who need extra patience and attention. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing dependable, loving care so you can feel confident while you're away.🩷 I work full time during the week so I will be available for evening walks / drop-ins and open for weekend play. Peace of mind for you & tail wags for them! For dog walks and drop-in visits, I prioritize safety, reliability, and communication. I carefully follow each pet owner's instructions regarding feeding, medication, exercise, and home access. During walks, I use secure leashes and remain aware of my surroundings to ensure your dog's safety. During drop-ins, I provide attentive care, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of affection. I will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away.

About: I grew up with a variety of pets. As a kid we had cows, horses, ducks, chickens, cats and dogs, as well as many more. I am in school working on my prerequisites for a Veterinary Sciences degree, so you can be sure that your best friend will be in the best care available!😁 I work full time from around 9am-5pm and can work outside of those hours, I wake up around 5am every day so I can be with your pet early and late. I am available for overnight appointments as well. Generally for pet sitting, before I go to work I’ll feed your animals, take them on a walk and prepare for when I’m gone, when I get off work around 2-3pm, I’ll come back and take them out for a run or play with them, and stay with them for a while for some cuddles or just for company. For drop ins I can do 3 per day, one at around 5am, one at 3pm, and one at 9pm. For walks my schedules the same. I have a blue Doberman and Shepard/Cane Corso mix so I can be comfortable around every breed no problem. I love hanging out with animals and having some playtime or going on runs with them. If they aren’t that social I can still let them outside and just be there as company for them while I do my schoolwork.

About: I’ve always had animals around at home, through fostering, and from volunteering at our local shelter, so pet care is just part of my life. I’ve handled everything from goofy, high‑energy pups to shy cats who need a slow, gentle approach. My fiancée worked at the same shelter for years, so I picked up a ton of hands‑on tips from her too. I’ve cared for all kinds of pets like my fiancée’s sister’s Frenchie and Lab, lots of cats with big personalities, and plenty of shelter dogs who just needed a confidence boost. I’m comfortable with shy pets, excited pets, nervous pets, and the ones who need a little extra patience. I’ve also given medication, done enrichment, and helped pets settle in when they’re unsure. Whether your pet wants couch cuddles, a walk, or even a silly dog birthday party (yes, we’ve actually done one), I’m here to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. I treat every pet like family. I work from home, so it’s easy for me to fit pet care into my day. I keep a steady routine with time set aside for feeding, walks, playtime, and check‑ins. Even on busy days, I make sure every pet gets attention and consistency. When I’m house sitting, the only thing I need to work from home is a spot where I can plug into a hardwired internet connection. I bring my own portable desk, cords, and equipment, so I don’t need anything else from you. It never gets in the way of pet care. I’m still around all day for cuddles, walks, and company. I keep things calm and pet friendly with cozy spots, enrichment, and plenty of supervision. I’ve worked with all kinds of personalities like shy, energetic, nervous, or pets who need medication, and I always go at their pace. In your home, I follow your routine closely so your pet feels secure. In mine, I keep the environment relaxed and predictable so they can settle in easily. My goal is always the same. A stress‑free, loving experience where your pet feels safe.

Kaitlyn has cared for my dog and cat through both check-ins and overnight stays, and I couldn’t be happier with her service. She is reliable, punctual, communicative, and always provides great updates and photos that give me peace of mind while I’m away. She’s also been able to help on short notice, which I greatly appreciate. Her kindness and genuine care for my pets truly set her apart. I highly recommend her!

Our two kitties are friendly but shy of strangers, so we didn't expect much interaction between them and Catherine. Not so; by the second day everyone was the best of friends, Maybe the cats can sense kindness because we believe Catherine went out of her way to be kind to them. She spent time with them and communicated promptly with us while we were gone. We loved what she did for us, and for sure she is our "go-to" person for future pet care.
