“I was so nervous to leave my kittens for the first time, but Kate immediately made me feel at ease. She was so professional and kind! She took amazing care of my kittens- I am so grateful! Thank you so much, Kate!!”

“Kimberly was communicative, responsive, and attentive. She adapted easily to our needs and was genuinely focused on Althea’s care and comfort. Excellent experience. Would book again.”

“Will has watched over our pets twice now, and has always provided so much love and attention to the “fur babies.” He is very prompt in his visits and provides superb reports of his visits … along with awesome photos!”

“Kimberley was the best pet sitter for my little sweets, Pumpkin! She responded to the inquiry quickly, came over same day to meet me, and took lots of pictures and left great updates each morning after dropping by. I felt very comfortable with her and could tell Pumpkin did too. I will definitely book with her again 🫶🏼”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and personalities since I was young as well as children through my daycare work. Neighbors, friends, and family have always trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and give their pets lots of attention. I’m patient, gentle, and always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and entertained. Whether it’s playtime, a relaxing walk, or extra snuggles, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. Between my part-time job and classes, I have lots of pet-friendly free time! I’m usually available weekday afternoons and most mornings, plus Fridays through Sundays. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddles, I’ve got plenty of time to hang out with your fur babies all week long. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I always treat the space with respect and follow your routine exactly. I make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved, whether that means sticking to feeding schedules, keeping their favorite spots tidy, or giving them extra playtime and attention. I’m reliable, gentle, and always make sure your home and your pet are left just the way you expect.
“Leah was very helpful and the communication went smoothly. She took good care of our kitties. She gave the kitties their wet food and supplements, as well as some play time.”

About: I love cats and dogs. In fact, I have and take care of two cats, and I've been caring for them ever since they were kittens. I also helped take care of my family dog for 8 years by walking him and feeding him occasionally. In addition, I am a college student, which means that I have a very flexible schedule. Since I'm away at college, I don't spend as much time with my cats as I did before. However, I like to come back home to visit them weekly. I usually have at least 2.5 hours every day of free time. I never let my cats outside as I think it's dangerous. I'm a pretty clean person because I like to make sure the environment the pets are in is safe and clean.
“Beth is a natural with pets and very accommodating. She gave us great peace of mind our dog was in good hands and being taken care of while we went away over the holiday. I cannot thank her enough and hope she will sit for us again even though our dog is not the easiest.”

About: I share my home with two dogs of my own, so I understand that every dog has their own personality, energy level, and quirks. Whether your pup loves long, adventurous walks or prefers a slower sniff-around-the-block, I’m happy to adjust to their needs. I am not currently working, so my schedule is flexible. If you need someone to fill in last minute, your friendly neighbor will be on her way :) As a fellow dog mom, I prioritize my dogs’ safety and happy walk time. My service will provide pictures and details of how the walk went so you can see regular updates of your happy pup! You can count on me for safe, reliable walks, plenty of love, and a friendly face your dog will look forward to seeing.
“Jessica was the best! I have a very shy pup - and she totally won her over! She was also super helpful with my mom who has some mobility issues, and was home sometimes while she was managing my pups. Jessica was always professional, as well as loving and kind, while taking care of my pets and home.”

“Becky did amazing with my Daisy May, she stayed even a bit over her time and my baby girl lovedd her, they played and my pup even got the zoomies! Defiantly will book with Becky again!”

“Caroline was amazing! Our cat, who is usually skittish and hides with others completely relaxed around her in record time ❤️ Caroline is thorough, kind and patient. It definitely allowed for a more relaxing vacation, knowing our little Daisy was being well cared for :) Colleen”

About: I have almost 2 year old very friendly Siberian husky. He loves playing with other dogs. I would love to board and take care of yours.
