“This is the second time we’ve booked Pam to take care of our animals and she is wonderful. She even changed our cats’ litter box for us! She’s truly a reliable sitter and very communicative. Pam is the best and will make sure your fur babies are taken care of!”

“Most excellent sitter. Engaging and involved! She was very communicative, punctual, and respectful. Our doggo’s loved her. I never worried about them while we were gone. We’ll be using her again.”


“Katie is so amazing with animals! My dog Charlie warmed right up to her on our first meet & greet and I felt comfortable leaving him in her care. I will forever request Katie any chance she’s available and would highly recommend her for your furry pet as well.”
“I was a little nervous how my dog would be with a stranger, but Amber made him feel comfortable and even had excited to see her wanting to play! I will definitely be rebooking her again!”


About: My day job is as a wildlife biologist, and I have worked with everything from Japanese giant salamanders to gopher tortoises. I have watched pets for neighbors and friends for years and love dogs especially! I am free in evenings (5pm or later) and weekends pretty consistently (I work full time as a wildlife biologist during the day). Happy with long or short walks, even on hot days. I don't have any pets at home right now, but I am comfortable with a wide variety of animals. I am skilled at reading animal body language and always strive to make pets feel safe.
“Kenneth gave my pup plenty of love, cleaned up after an unfortunate accident (Puppyhood! Gotta love it), and sent lots of cute photos to make us feel comfortable. He took great care of her during his multiple visits today and he shows great care and love for other’s animals!”


About: I grew up with dogs, and I adopted my dog Bailey in 2019. I have plenty of experience caring for the dogs of friends and family members. I have a very flexible schedule, and I am happy to accept same day requests to help take care of your fur babies. I am available every day. I do not offer care in my home. I can provide drop in services or dog walks in your neighborhood. I also have experience handling reactive animals.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs most of my life and have lived with multiple cat owners as well. I feel like pets like my calm and loving demeanor 😊 I enjoy the flexibility this profession allows and I love the outdoors. If your pet wants a long walk in the sun or just needs to stretch its legs in the backyard I’m down for either! 😁 I feel as though my laid back demeanor is great for working with animals and even the pickiest cats have fallen for me. I’m great at reading the body language of animals and know when they want a belly rub or when they want me to sit six feet away.
“CJ was awesome! I didn’t realize that I was almost out of cat food in the feeder. CJ messaged me, got the food needed (special diet that has to be picked up from the vet), and reloaded the feeder. I called the vet with my card to pay for it but the service was amazing. She sent me pics of my cat and the food, water, and litter. Great service! Above and beyond!”

“Jamilla was so nice and great with the cats! She gave my kitten medicine for a cold and they were very happy with her and well taken care of. Would definitely have her sit again!”

“Olivia is enthusiastic and committed to doing the best for your pets. My two big dogs loved her, and she handled the responsibilities of not only my dogs but an Amazon parrot, and two reef tanks. She followed my specific instructions very well. I can recommend her for any house sitting visits you may need for your dog (or other creatures!).”

“Meridith is a treasure! She was a last minute booking for a holiday and we were so fortunate to find her. She was dependable, friendly and spent quality time with my boy. Thank you so much Meridith!”

“Erika is calm, trustworthy, and knowledgeable. She has been coming to my house to do midday drop ins for my two sighthounds. They are usually reserved around new people, but Erika won them over right away. Highly recommend!”

“Lindsey and Jose were amazing! I can't thank them enough for the way they took extra special care of our dogs. Their patience, communication, attention to detail, and willingness to go above and beyond were impressive. We are so grateful and appreciative of them. Being away from my dogs caused me anxiety; Lindsey absolutely took the time to make me feel at ease and provided a ton of updates and pictures. We are excited to have people we can trust with our dogs moving forward and look forward to booking them again....thanks Lindsey and Jose!!!”

“Liz is phenomenal! She took excellent care of our two boys while we were out of town. They're usually very skittish around strangers, but warmed up to Liz right away ☺️. She kept us up to date with plenty of adorable photos, and was kind enough to reach out whenever she had a question or concern about our kitties' routines. 10/10, I cannot recommend Liz enough!”

About: I have cared for many animals over the past 18 years while managing a pet resort. I have also walked dogs during my lunch hour. I recently retired after 18 years in veterinary medicine and managing pet resort. I have always loved animals and have 6 dogs of my own. I have a 6 foot fenced yard and have 6 dogs of my own. My dogs are dog friendly and go to daycare often and play.
“I loved Kiah! Very professional. She sent me a detailed update of how my cat was doing during each of her visits with many pictures to go along with it while I was on my out-of-state vacation. I asked her to bring in mail while I was gone and she gladly did that for me as well! My Nola seemed so happy when she was around and I would definitely rebook with her when I’m not in town again.”

I could not be happier with hiring Amber as my cat sitter. She is always on time, is a great communicator, and always does excellent work caring for my cats. I have never worried for a second about the welfare of my cats when I am out of town, knowing that Amber will do her best and give me daily updates. Highly recommended!

Ashley did an amazing job caring for my senior cat while I was out of town! She provided excellent communication, sent updates, and clearly showed genuine affection and care for my cat. The entire experience was easy and completely stress-free! I will absolutely trust Ashley with my cat again in the future, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!

This turned out to be the best service ever. Erika was amazing and I hope she'll become a regular for Scout. I unintentionally became the sole responsible human to a neighbors cat. I believe she's now needing a permanent home. I hadn't planned for this as we are retired and plan to travel. Finally true empty nesters. We kept Scout inside for our first trip with no clue how she'd do, but daily visits were perfect. We have decided to keep Scout. ☺️

So glad I found Katie to watch my girl for a last minute sitter. After an initial meet and greet, I felt confident that my dog would be in good hands. I received lots of feedback and cute pictures/video of my dog during Katie’s visit, which I loved. I would definitely book again; thanks Katie!

Miss Mandy is by far amazing. She goes above and beyond in everything she does for the dogs. She truly does treat them like they are her own pups. My three babies absolutely love her, especially my big boy! I work long hours and because of her I finally have a peace of mind. Thank you for all you do.💙

I had a great experience with this dog sitter and would highly recommend her. She paid close attention to every detail and made sure all of my dogs’ routines and needs were followed perfectly. It was clear that she genuinely cared about them and took the time to make them feel comfortable. My dogs absolutely loved her and were excited to see her each day. Knowing they were in such caring and attentive hands gave me complete peace of mind while I was away.
