“We are so incredibly grateful for Danielle and the amazing care she gave our two cats while we were away for a week. She went above and beyond—sending regular updates and tons of adorable pictures that gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear she truly cared about their well-being, and we feel so lucky to have found her. Will most definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!”


“Brooke is wonderful! She sent detailed reports every day with pictures of our two cats. It was like we had never been gone, they were so well taken care of. I would highly recommend her!”


“Alicia did a great job taking care of my four cats. She made two visits to my home to feed, water and clean litter boxes. She kept me informed about her visits. One of the cats needed a medication and she followed through with that. She also cleaned up after feeding time, as I requested. Alicia is pleasant and responsible. I hope to use her services again.”


“Samantha did a great job with my kitties. Even the shy girl came out and let her pet her. She spent time with our cats which is very important to us. She was great at communicating with me. I will hire Sam again.”


“Leann was amazing with my cats! They were so well cared for and it was clear that they felt comfortable with her. She also took great care of my home. She was flexible, attentive, and gave me detailed updates. She sent plenty of pictures and videos. Leann will forever be my go-to pet sitter! Thank you so much Leann!!”


“Anne was great! Came over to do a meet and greet beforehand. She followed the instructions I had laid out and sent a bunch of pictures each time she did a drop in. My cats are very shy and they both came out the first visit and then the second and third visit just Teddy came out and was super affectionate. Would absolutely recommend Anne and request her again.”


“Melissa is terrific! She took excellent care of my cats and was also nice enough to water our plants while we were out of town. She did a great job, and we would definitely work with her again. Thanks, Melissa!!”



“I am so glad that Taylor was available again. As we have used Taylor before it was so easy for her to step in and take care of the family cats. The cats and house were well taken care of.”

About: Hi! I’m Kiefer – a lifelong dog lover ready to care for your best friend! 🐾 📆 FLEXIBLE & RELIABLE – I understand how important peace of mind is when leaving your pup. Whether it’s a drop-in visit, a walk, or some extra playtime, I’ll make sure your dog feels cared for while you’re away. ⭐️ LIFELONG EXPERIENCE – I’ve grown up around all kinds of breeds including Goldens, Labs, Huskies, Dachshunds, German Shorthaired Pointers, and plenty of lovable rescue mixes. I’ve also raised my own Golden from puppyhood, so I know the patience and consistency young dogs need. 🎾 PLAYFUL & ENGAGING – I love giving dogs more than just the basics. I’ll play, give belly rubs, or add a little stimulation before I go, so they’re happy and relaxed when I leave. 🥰 TRUST & CARE – Every dog has their own personality, and I take the time to connect with each one. Whether your pup is energetic and goofy or calm and cuddly, I’ll treat them like family. 💚 SAFETY FIRST – Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. If you’d like, I can provide updates and pictures so you know how your furry friend is doing while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your pup and give them the love and attention they deserve! 🐶 I’m currently working part time, with Rover being the other priority in my life so scheduling should be relatively easy. I am an active person and I do have a family so I will always reach out to confirm I’ve received your request and I will reach back out once I’ve confirmed your request will work with my schedule. I treat other dogs the same way I treat mine. I like to make sure they get some physical and mental stimulation in when I do a drop in. Whether it’s walks and play time, or ball throws, or rough housing (if they like that!) I want to make sure your pets are fulfilled before I leave! I like to meet pets ahead of time with the owners around so they aren’t scared meeting a stranger for the first time alone! I also like to set expectations at these meet and greets so everything goes smoothly during your time away.

About: With 25 years of pet care experience, I’ve helped dogs of all ages, including a senior dog regain mobility after back surgery through patient rehabilitation and care. I work 10-6, so I offer pet care early mornings, evenings, and weekends. This allows me to provide consistent, reliable attention for your pets outside work hours. I provide a safe, secure environment by pet-proofing my home and following established routines. In client homes, I maintain cleanliness, respect personal spaces, and ensure pets are always supervised. My priority is building trust with both pets and owners while keeping pets happy, healthy, and comfortable in any setting.

“I can’t recommend Katie more. She dropped in with our cat Zia for 6 nights while we were on a trip. We finally didn’t have to worry if our pet sitter would show up or not. Katie was prompt each day and gave so much care and attention to our needy cat.”


“Kim was so kind and easy to work with. She was very careful and diligent working here to meet the needs of our two pets. She responded last minute to our change of plans which saved our family trip ?! She did a great job keeping our dog exercised and happy and also sending us photos and updates. We highly recommend Kim and would trust her again with our home and pets!”


“I have used Tifany twice now and will continue to use her! My dogs can be quite a crazy pack but she is very patient and handles them really well. My pups can also be very weary of strangers but from day one, they LOVED Tiffany! She is prompt, easy going and always stays in touch. Highly recommend!”


About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience caring for pets at every stage of life—from wiggly puppies to senior dogs with special needs. I’ve raised both of my own dogs, Pixie and Hachi, from just a couple months old, so I understand the patience, consistency, and energy it takes to train and care for young pups. I also had a beloved senior dog who was fully blind, deaf, and unable to walk in her final years, which taught me the importance of gentle, attentive, and compassionate care. No matter their age or needs, I treat every pet like my own—safe, loved, and understood. As a young professional and proud dog mom to Pixie (my sweet Doxie-Pin) and Hachi (my spirited Shih-Shon), I know firsthand how nerve-wracking it can be to trust someone else with your pets—especially when traditional pet-sitting options don’t feel quite right. That’s why I’m passionate about providing the kind of loving, attentive care I’d want for my own fur-babies. I work in HR Monday–Friday, 6 AM–3 PM, which gives me a consistent schedule and plenty of time in the afternoons and evenings to devote to your pets. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel completely at ease—stress-free, safe, and happy. I can’t wait to meet your fur-family! In My Home: Your pet will enjoy a safe, cozy, and loving space with plenty of playtime, walks, and snuggles—just like they would at home. In Your Home: I follow your pet’s usual routine for feeding, walks, and care, keeping them comfortable and stress-free in their own familiar environment.

About: It's tough being a dog person with no dogs (because of parents), so I have to get my fill somehow! I love dogs, and all pets, for that matter. I plan to get one as soon as I can when I move out. I've had a decent amount of experience dog sitting and house sitting for family and friends, to make some extra cash once in a while. I am a very active person, so I enjoy going on walks. As a person, I would say I am reasonable and understanding, which I think is essential for dealing with dogs. I am also responsible and caring, so you know you can trust me to take the best care of your dog that I can. I will always strive to provide the best service possible! I work remotely so I am available for drop-ins and walks during the day as well as pet sitting in client’s houses since I can work from anywhere. I have great attention to detail and will make sure anything gets done that the owners specify. I will treat the house as if it was my own and be sure to respect any boundaries specified.
