Such a wonderful and competent sitter. Jen and her family are the most heartwarming people and they go out of their way to care for your baby. You will not find a better sitter where your baby is treated as one of the family when you have to be gone! Ever! How lucky are we to have people like Jenevieve in this world?! So grateful. She acted like we were gifting her by leaving our crazy cat that we have had for a month with her. Carrie is the happiest and best version of herself I have ever seen after Jen’s care!

Jaron did a great job taking care of our kitties while we were away. He showed up on time and provided great updates for what he saw of them and how they were doing. They are not too fond of other people but our most shy cat even came out to greet him both times! Jaron was also able to stop by and meet our cats before hand to make sure everything went smoothly. I will definitely be using Jaron again for my next vacation!

Abby was a fantastic sitter for our elderly cat, Bob, who has some pretty high snuggle needs. She went out of her way to introduce herself in person before our trip, asking thoughtful questions to make sure she understood Bob's routine and personality. While we were away, she was easy to reach and quick to respond to any questions, giving us regular updates that made us feel so at ease. Bob seemed to warm up to Abby quickly, and it was clear he was well cared for while we were gone. Knowing he was in such good hands gave us true peace of mind. We’d absolutely recommend Abby to anyone looking for a caring, communicative, and reliable pet sitter!

I enjoyed having Danielle care for Trixie, our cat, during our travels. She communicated very well about Trixie's behavior and care. She tried different solutions for a few problem situations, but overall she did a really great job with Trixie. I would easily sign her up to do more pet care for Trixie. She came in every other day to provide brushing, food service, litter cleaning, etc.

About: Hello! My name is Emily and I’m passionate about providing outstanding care for your furry friends! I am reliable, have excellent communication skills, deep sense of responsibility and I’m here to ensure you that your furry friend receives the best care and attention they deserve! I am 30 years old and have owned some sort of pet (dogs, cats, guenia pigs, hermit crabs, hedgehogs and much more) my entire life. I am very comfortable around all animals (breeds and sizes). I can assure you your pet(s) will be treated as if they were my own. I believe in open and honest communication, so you’ll receive updates on your pet while you are gone or for when I pop in to take them for a walk or break. Whether that’s informing you of giving medications, exercise or play time. I’m committed to maintaining their (and your) routines and keeping everyone happy. I am currently working full time but have a rotating schedule each week. Most weeks I have two days off plus the weekends. On my days off I will have plenty of time to tend to your furry friends needs, take them for a walk (or walks) and make sure they get plenty of attention, care and love. I will have time to spend at your home with your furry friend to make sure they are getting the care and love they need while you are away. I love to go on walks and can take your furry friend for a short or long walk or multiple walks a day. I also have a small dog (toy/mini Aussie) that can come play.

Growing up with dogs, I have years of firsthand experience in caring for them, from feeding and grooming to basic training, and being CPR & FIRST AID Certified making me the perfect fit for any medical emergency that might occur.

About: I have lots of experience working with dogs with Thyroid disorders, joint problems, hip problems, diabetes, and special diets. I'm very flexible. All you have to do is ask and we'll see. I've had Chocolate Labs, Chesapeake Bay Retrievers, Poodles, Terriers, and Shih Tzus. I love animals especially puppies and dogs. I am also willing to watch your cats if you also have them. I wanted to be a veterinarian or veterinary assistant but I didn't quite have the grades for it so that's why I decided to become a dog sitter, a dog walker, pet care taker, dog lover, and pet lover. I will take the best care of your pet and love it like my very own. Hope to hear from you soon. I'm available for house sitting on weekends and some week nights just ask me. Availability for pet care all week depending on the hours needed. I always accompany pets when they are outside even in a fenced in yard. I take short or long walks depending on what is requested.

I do work fulltime with a night shift schedule. I walk and feed my pup before and after work, then we have plenty of playtime when I'm home. I treat pets like I would want to be treated, with love and respect. I give plenty of kisses and pats, and playtime is always a good time if the pet is up for it. I am hyperaware of toxins to dogs and cats, constantly keeping an eye out.

About: 🐾 Loving Pet Sitter with 15 Years of Dog Care Experience 🐶🐱 Hi! My name is Kalli and I’ve been caring for dogs for over 15 years — from playful puppies to sweet seniors. Whether it’s walks, belly rubs, or just keeping them company, I treat every dog like they’re part of my family. I’ve also spent many years watching friends’ cats, so I’m comfortable with feline friends too! I understand how important it is to keep pets happy, safe, and loved while you're away. A lifelong animal lover and part-time pet sitter. I work full-time in radiology three days a week, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets on my days off. I have over 15 years of experience caring for dogs, and I’ve also spent many years looking after friends’ cats. Here’s how I ensure a safe environment: ✔ Secure Home Environment: I always double-check doors, gates, and enclosures to prevent any accidental escapes. ✔ Routine and Familiarity: I stick closely to your pet’s usual routine to reduce stress and keep them feeling safe and comfortable. ✔ Health & Emergency Awareness: I’m attentive to any signs of illness or discomfort and know what steps to take in case of emergency. I always have your vet’s contact information on hand just in case. ✔ Communication: I provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and in good hands. I care for each pet as if they were my own and always aim to create a stress-free, safe experience for you and your pet!

During the summer months, my schedule is more open and flexible, allowing me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pet’s needs. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays, I’m available and reliable—with the time and energy to provide consistent, high-quality care. In my client’s home, I follow your pet’s routine closely to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I provide timely care, play, and attention, along with regular updates.

I treat pets like I would want to be treated, with love and respect. I give plenty of kisses and pats, and playtime is always a good time if the pet is up for it. I am hyperaware of toxins to dogs and cats, constantly keeping an eye out.

About: 🐾 Loving Pet Sitter with 15 Years of Dog Care Experience 🐶🐱 Hi! My name is Kalli and I’ve been caring for dogs for over 15 years — from playful puppies to sweet seniors. Whether it’s walks, belly rubs, or just keeping them company, I treat every dog like they’re part of my family. I’ve also spent many years watching friends’ cats, so I’m comfortable with feline friends too! I understand how important it is to keep pets happy, safe, and loved while you're away. A lifelong animal lover and part-time pet sitter. I work full-time in radiology three days a week, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets on my days off. I have over 15 years of experience caring for dogs, and I’ve also spent many years looking after friends’ cats. Here’s how I ensure a safe environment: ✔ Secure Home Environment: I always double-check doors, gates, and enclosures to prevent any accidental escapes. ✔ Routine and Familiarity: I stick closely to your pet’s usual routine to reduce stress and keep them feeling safe and comfortable. ✔ Health & Emergency Awareness: I’m attentive to any signs of illness or discomfort and know what steps to take in case of emergency. I always have your vet’s contact information on hand just in case. ✔ Communication: I provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and in good hands. I care for each pet as if they were my own and always aim to create a stress-free, safe experience for you and your pet!

I wholeheartedly recommend Camryn as a responsible, attentive, and loving pet caregiver. Over the past three years, she has spent more than 500 hours caring for my cat, Lennie, while I’ve been out of town. Lennie has a chronic illness that requires regular medication and close monitoring, and Camryn has handled her care with incredible diligence and compassion. Camryn is not only dependable and trustworthy, but she also has a genuine love for animals that shows in the way she interacts with Lennie. She follows all care instructions precisely, including medication schedules, and keeps me updated with notes and photos so I always feel confident that Lennie is in good hands. Thanks to Camryn, I can travel without worry, knowing that Lennie is not only well cared for, but truly cared about. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone in need of a responsible and loving pet sitter.
