“Meghan was absolutely wonderful and took great care of my pups! They were all very well loved and cared for while I was gone. She was very communicative and sent me daily pictures and updates.”


“Averi took excellent care of our dog Rocco and our home while we were away for a long weekend! She was very accommodating and Rocco was so relaxed when we got home! 10/10!”


“Rachel was wonderful. She arrived promptly and did an excellent job of taking care of our animals. She gave us updates and left the house pristine. We would recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a cat and/or dog sitter!”


“Holly is the best cat sitting. She always took pictures of my cat and sent it everyday. She also on top of everything. My Godfrey loves her so much. Thank you, Holly! High recommended her!”


“Kyla was a truly attentive, communicative sitter. She was great with Chico during the meet and greet and asked good questions, leaving me to feel 100% comfortable leaving Chico in her care. She was flexible and gracious with last minute changes, sent updates and pictures while I was away, and left my home very neat after her stay.”


“Megan was great with our dogs! We had to go away for a few days with short notice, and she was awesome enough to come house sit our 2 pets. They were pretty much instantly in love with her. She provided daily updates and we felt secure knowing our dogs were well cared for! Thanks Megan!”



“We very much appreciated Emily! I was very nervous to leave our two dogs with a new person as we have one older dog who requires extra attention due to a medical condition. Emily met with us beforehand to go over our routine and then I sent her my "instructions" before we left. She followed their routine and kept us up to date on the dogs. It helped to know the dogs were well taken care of - glad to have found someone to watch our dogs when we have to be away!”


“Kaleigh is amazing! This was the first time leaving my pup and Kaleigh made me feel at ease with consistent communication and updates. She took the time to learn my dog’s personality and routine so she could be as comfortable as possible. I’d definitely recommend Kaleigh!”


“Really prompt and super understanding with some last minute issues. Dogs were perfectly content and the house was exactly as I left it. Would def recommend Alex!”


About: I have 3 cats and 2 mice, so I have a lot of experience taking care of cats and small animals. I love dogs and have pet-sat for my friends with small and medium size dogs I work a full time job Monday - Friday. I am available to do drop-ins before 7:30am or after 4:30 pm on weekdays. I am always available in the evenings or weekends. I will follow whatever guidelines the owner's give. Otherwise, my base care is to give dogs 2 walks a day and at least 30 minutes of playtime for both dogs and cats. Ensure the pets are fed and gone potty/clean litterboxes.

“Kyle has been great! Easy to communicate with, extremely helpful, flexible with my ever changing travel schedule, and of course wonderful with my elderly dogs. I’ve booked with him multiple times and will continue to do so in the future.”


“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Alyssia! She stayed overnight in our home for a week while we were on vacation in the OBX and took fantastic care of our three cats. She sent daily updates with funny photos and videos that gave us total peace of mind (and some good laughs). Alyssia also took excellent care of our home—bringing in the mail and packages, taking out the trash, and cleaning up after herself. Everything was spotless when we returned. Most importantly, our cats were calm, happy, and well-fed. In the past, they’ve seemed stressed or even lost weight while we were away, but not this time. They warmed up to her quickly! We’ve already rebooked her and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter. Thank you, Alyssia!”

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember.. Growing up with everything from cats and dogs to rabbits, spiders, ferrets and even the occasional rescue critter. Caring for animals has always come naturally to me, and I truly feel at home when I’m surrounded by furry friends. I absolutely adore cats! Their quirky personalities & quiet cuddles melt my heart & I love the energy & companionship dogs bring. Whether it’s playtime, long walks, or just keeping your pet company while you’re away, I treat every animal with the same love & care I give my own. My schedule has its quirks, but it works in your pet’s favor! Tuesdays and Thursdays are actually my most flexible days, perfect for morning and evening walks or extended hangouts with your furry companion. As a full-time grad student and part-time social worker, my hours can be a little unpredictable but I always make time for what matters. Even with a busy calendar, caring for animals is a priority I never push aside. Whether it’s a midday drop-in or a sunset stroll, I’m happy to fit in the love and attention your pet deserves. Safety, trust, and a calm environment are at the heart of the care I provide. Whether I’m coming to your home for a walk, a cuddle session, or staying for an overnight house sit, I treat your space and your pets with the utmost respect and care. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your furry family member in someone else’s hands, and I take that responsibility seriously. I follow any routines you’ve set, keep their environment clean and peaceful, and make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved at all times. Whether it’s daily check-ins, long walks, or overnight companionship, I show up with patience, attention, and genuine care.


“Noel was kind, quick to respond, polite, respectful, and the perfect fit to watch our pup Yeti. She took great care of him and our home while we were gone! Definitely gave us peace of mind.”


About: I’m an active person that knows how to take care of animals. I have an Belgian Malinois that is super active and know how to interact with high maintenance dogs. I work from home 4 out of 5 days. Have plenty of free time to do drop ins or animal sit for the day or night. Currently I don’t have animals stay at my house but willing to go to your house for drop ins or pet sitting for any day of the week.
