“This was our first time hiring a sitter for drop-in pet minding, and Karen made it an incredibly comfortable and low-stress experience. Daily check-ins complete with pictures and a little report kept us smiling and looking forward to the next day, so we could see more cute pet pics. Karen even caught a problem with our pool that we were able to inform our landlord of so he could take care of it while we're out of country - she really just went above and beyond, and we're so grateful for her work 🥰 We'll be hiring her again in the future, and I promise you won't regret doing the same!”

“Sam has quickly become our go-to pet sitter. He is incredibly communicative, attentive to our animals’ needs, and genuinely caring - not only toward our pets but also when it comes to our peace of mind. We always feel confident and at ease knowing our animals are in Sam’s care.”

“Ashley has always been great with my puppies. They are hard to handle and full of energy, and yet she somehow manages great photos and videos of them while keeping them entertained. She follows all special instructions to the letter, and she is always on time. Can’t say enough about how much my puppies love her visits!”

“I'm so glad Lindsey was able to hang out with my little miss again: she updated me when she was a little sick, and was kind enough to take care of it! Greatly appreciated and will book again.”

“Kristin checked in on our cat while we were on vacation. Usually he hides when we are gone, but he came out and greeted her on a few occasions. Kristin's communication was excellent and she took good care of our cat. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter!”

About: Treat every pet (dogs and cats) like family, taking time to learn their routines, behavioral cues and emotional need, to provide more than just basic care My daily routine is calm and flexible, which is perfect for pet care. Spend the day home taking brakes for walks, enrichment, feeding and cuddle, keeping a regular schedule. It is my top priority to provide consistent and loving care in a clean pet friendly environment where your pet can feel secure and loved.
“Eric is definitely my No.1 sitter choice! He was caring and followed all the instructions we left for him. He communicated throughout his visits. I would highly recommend Eric to watch your fur buddies!!!!”

“Claudia was great with our cats! Even our shy kitties, who usually hide from strangers, came out to say hello. She clearly has a calm, reassuring presence that animals trust. Everything went smoothly. Highly recommend!”

“Andrea is the best! I contacted her on short notice to check in on our lab puppy in heat and she was there for us. Great communication and peace of mind. We will absolutely book again!”

“I’ve booked Alexandria multiple times and I completely trust her with my kitties! She’s so patient with them and never hesitates to ask questions when needed. We will continue to book her to drop in and check in on our fue babies 🥰”

“Our first time using Rover and Shauna was great! We weren’t able to bring our dogs with us on our trip but we felt comfortable leaving them after meeting her! Our dogs took to her and watching her with them I felt confident she could handle our dogs and their antics.”

“Vivian was great! She was so helpful and accommodating. Great communication and updates, we will definitely ask for her help again, and would recommend her to our family and friends.”

“Veronica is very friendly and did so great with our small dog and cat! She sent updates every visit with cute pictures and went through their routines perfectly :) I will definitely be reaching out to her in the future!”

“Hollie was wonderful! I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing my cat was in good care. She sends lots of pictures and videos and gives you detailed updates. If we need to take off anytime again I know who to book ☺️”

About: I have experience caring for my own pets as well as a numerous amount of exotic animals. I am a former zookeeper and had made caring for animals my career. I am confident caring for all animal species as well as administering various medications. Personally, I have four dogs and two cats. I regularly take all of my dogs to the dog park and they get along with other animals well. I couldn’t think of a better way to spend a day than to take care of mans best friend. Pet care fits in every part of my day. I ensure all of my animals are fed and have water each morning. All of my dogs enjoy a 2-3 mile walk and a trip to the dog park almost daily. I also make sure everyone gets a good mix of playtime and rest each day. I start every morning with feeding all of my animals. They are the first thing on my mind and I want to make sure they are nourished right away. With caring for a client’s animals they will equally be in the forefront of my mind and will make sure all of their needs are met and consistent with their routine.
About: Reliable animal lover experienced with dogs, focused on comfort, routine, and treating every pet like family. Willing to go the extra mile for your baby! I am currently a full-time, online college student so I have a very open schedule to give all the love to your babies! I create my own schedule so I can come at any time of day for your needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I provide reliable, attentive care and treat every pet like my own. I currently live in an apartment so I am not able to board, but willing to do drop ins any time!
“Olivia was wonderful. She arrived on time. Made sure my fur babies were well cared for. I highly recommend Olivia and I will use her again.”

About: What sets me apart is a lifetime of genuine love and hands-on experience with dogs of all ages. While I may be young, I've been the primary caregiver for my own dogs for years, giving me a deep understanding of their unique needs. My experience includes raising my own dog, Peanut, from a puppy in 2020, so I am well-versed in the high energy, patience, and consistent routine that young dogs require. Furthermore, I care for my dog Butters, who joined our family in 2021, and have experience with the compassionate care elderly dogs need. This hands-on history includes administering daily oral medications, managing different canine personalities at the same time, and ensuring every dog feels individually loved and attended to. For over four years, I have been solely responsible for the reliable and trustworthy routine of feeding, walking, and caring for my dogs. You can have peace of mind knowing I will follow your instructions precisely and maintain your pet's normal schedule to minimize their stress while you're away. Ultimately, my goal is simple: to treat your furry family member with the same love and attention I give to my own beloved Peanut and Butters! My weekly schedule as a college student is actually perfect for pet care. I have no classes from Friday through Sunday, and on Tuesdays and Thursdays, I'm free from noon onward. Since I don't have a job, I can offer my full and undivided attention to any pet I care for. This means your pet would become my main focus. This flexibility allows me to provide excellent care. On weekends, I am completely free for long walks, adventure hikes, or just providing constant companionship through house-sitting. For pets that need afternoon care, my free time on Tuesdays and Thursdays is ideal for long visits, play sessions, or stopping by to break up their day. My main goal is to keep pets happy and comfortable by sticking to their normal routine. Since I stay in your home for overnight stays, I make sure your pet feels like they're on a fun staycation. I follow all your instructions for feeding, walks, and medication, and I’ll also take care of your home by bringing in mail and watering plants. My schedule is very open, so I can spend lots of quality time with your pet, giving them plenty of attention so they don’t get lonely. For shorter drop-in visits, I come by to let your dog out, play with them, or just keep them company for a little while. I always make sure they have fresh water and give you a quick update with a photo so you know they’re doing well. When I take dogs for walks, I focus on giving them good exercise and making sure they’re safe. I follow your preferred route and let them explore at a comfortable pace. After the walk, I’ll make sure they have water and are settled back in. No matter which service you choose, I’ll keep you updated with messages and pictures. My flexible schedule means I can give your pet my full attention, and I always treat your home and your furry friend with care and respect.
“Caryn kindly visited us before sitting to make sure the dogs were acclimated to her. She sent daily updates and pictures and the pups loved the attention and care!”

Alex went above and beyond taking care of our three kitties while we were gone! She is very communicative, sending amazing, detailed updates and many pictures of all of the pets. She even stayed longer than we scheduled to help clean up a mess and calm our cats down. She really takes time with each pet and makes sure they get equal attention. You can tell she really has a heart for animals.

Sam has quickly become our go-to pet sitter. He is incredibly communicative, attentive to our animals’ needs, and genuinely caring - not only toward our pets but also when it comes to our peace of mind. We always feel confident and at ease knowing our animals are in Sam’s care.

Karen was amazing with my kitties. She always sent pictures of the food, water, and clean box along with pictures of the kitties playing and cuddling. One of my cats needed to be in an e-collar, and every picture of him that she sent showed him wearing the e-collar. Her detailed visit summaries were correct and accurate descriptions of the kitties’ personalities, showing she actually spent time with them and kept them company during her visits. I am so grateful she took great care of them during the holiday season. Thank you Karen!

She's the best. Eva did drop ins with my boy Kasper. I'm transitioning from remote work to in person full time and needed someone to drop in to check on my baby while I was working. Eva is very professional, very kind, reasonable, accommodating, and she goes above and beyond. She gave Kasper the type of attention and affection I do and he was always so happy in the photos she'd send me.

Grace is the absolute sweetest person. She is 100% reliable. She shows up when she says she is and walked my Kasper and gave him lovies while I was at work. Will be hiring her again for sure. If your pet is your child, the way Kasper is to me, Grace is your gal!
