“John came to check in on our two cats during a long weekend. Every day, he was punctual and provided a written summary of how they're doing and how they behaved during the check-in, along with pictures. He is very respectful of the space within our home, and is an excellent communicator. While our cats are still learning to adjust to John's presence, he expresses an eagerness to make this transition easier and more comfortable, learning to adjust his own approach with each visit. We look forward to John's check-ins, in the future.”

I am confident that they are in good hands with Cathy!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years, including dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes, cats, fish, and even ducks! I have a deep love for animals and always treat them like family. My experience includes everything from high energy puppies to senior pets who need extra attention. I understand that every animal is different, so I tailor my care to meet their unique needs. Whether that means following a specific feeding schedule, giving medication, or making sure they get plenty of play and cuddles. I’m reliable, attentive, and passionate about making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I work a hybrid schedule and work from home specific days during the week, which gives me the flexibility to provide reliable pet care throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and in-home care on weekdays and weekends. Whether it’s a walk or overnight care, I make sure your pets get the time and attention they need! I tailor my care to meet your needs, whether that’s walking your dog, stopping by for check-ins, or staying overnight in your home. If your pet stays with me, they’ll have access to a fenced yard and will be kept company by my roommate’s friendly dog, Maggie. I always prioritize safety, comfort, and trust, and I’m committed to making your pet feel right at home, wherever that may be.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs, both difficult and sweet, for over 5 years among friends, family, and neighbors. I am experienced in walking, feeding, and caring for a variety of different dogs with different needs. I currently have a part time, 20 hr/week summer job with 4-5 hour shifts, so I can be flexible enough to let your pets out even when I have work, and I will remain flexible regardless of employment conditions. I care for pets in my client’s home in a responsible, detail-oriented, and caring way, giving anything which the pets may need during my time with them.
About: Hi! I’m Alexis, a lifelong dog lover with over 5 years of hands-on pet care experience. I started dog sitting for neighbors and family back in high school, and I’ve continued doing it ever since because I genuinely love being around dogs. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a senior dog that needs a little extra care, I’m patient, gentle, and always happy to adjust to each pet’s needs. What sets me apart is how personal I make each visit, I treat every dog like they’re my own. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I’m comfortable giving oral medications, managing high-energy pups, and providing extra care for older dogs. I’ve also helped teach a few basic tricks like “sit” and “paw,” which has been such a fun way to bond and keep them mentally engaged! I’m currently home from college for the summer with a super flexible schedule, so I can easily work around your routine. I’m looking forward to giving your pet the same love and attention I give to every dog I care for! I work part-time, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pet throughout the week. I’m happy to work around your routine, whether that means daytime visits, evening check-ins, or even overnight stays. For overnights, I’m comfortable staying as long as I can bring my boyfriend along. He’s been by my side throughout my pet sitting journey and has just as much experience caring for dogs as I do. We make a great team and always provide a safe, loving environment for every pet we watch! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always prioritize safety, comfort, and routine. I make sure to follow any instructions closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, medication, or favorite walking routes. I take my time to help pets feel at ease and stick to the environment they’re most familiar with, which helps reduce stress and keeps them happy. I also understand the trust that comes with letting someone into your home and around your pet, and I don’t take that lightly. I always aim to treat your space with the same respect I’d want in mine, and I’ll keep you updated with pictures and messages while you’re away so you feel confident and connected the whole time.
“Timothy took amazing care of our sweet Wolfie and gave us great updates along the way! We are so grateful for all his time and effort and will definitely be booking him again in the future. Thank you so much!!”
About: I've always had different types of pets and understand all pets need different types of care. I am very willing to understand the animal and want to get to know them. I have a lot of free time on the weekends and would be able to spend plenty of time with pets or clean as needed I have 3 cats therefore bring a dog over will not be a good idea but I am very willing to travel as needed to watch the pets.
