Bonnie is the best cat sitter I’ve had. She genuinely cares for your pets as if they are her own and goes above and beyond for them. I cannot thank her enough for making me feel less anxious when I have to leave my fur babies behind. Do not hesitate to book her, she’s the best!

Emily was an absolute star! She took excellent care of our cat, Simon, while we were away — feeding him, refreshing his water, playing with him, and most impressively, expertly giving him his oral medication! She also left our home so clean and well-kept! We recommend Emily to anyone and everyone!

About: Caring for animals isn’t just something I do it’s been a constant throughout my life. I have years of hands on experience and currently volunteer and foster with Jen’s Kitty Rehab, where I regularly care for animals with a variety of needs and personalities. I’m experienced with cats, dogs, rodents, rabbits, and reptiles, and I’m comfortable administering medication, trimming nails, bathing, and providing attentive daily care. Whether your pet needs extra patience, structure, or just lots of love, I adapt to their individual needs to keep them comfortable and stress free. I work full time during the weekdays (8–5), but I’m available for evening visits, drop-ins, and weekend care. I’m dependable, communicative, and will always keep you updated with cute photos and messages so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands! My goal is simple: to treat your pet like my own and make your time away as worry-free as possible. During the summer, I will be working full-time Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM. Because of this, I am available for pet care during early morning, lunch hours for quick drop-in visits, as well as full availability in the evenings after 5 pm. I am also fully available on weekends and can provide morning, afternoon, or evening care depending on your pet’s needs. I am flexible with scheduling and happy to work with you to ensure your pet receives consistent, reliable care throughout the week. I live in a clean, calm, and structured multi-level townhome that provides a safe and comfortable environment for pets. While I do not have a traditional backyard, I offer plenty of indoor space for pets to relax, play, and feel at home, as well as plenty of outdoor space for a leashed animal. Pets in my care receive lots of attention, enrichment, and supervision throughout the day. My home is already pet-friendly, as I currently have 5 indoor cats and 2 mice, and I am very experienced in maintaining a peaceful, well-managed multi-pet environment. I focus on creating a safe, low-stress atmosphere with plenty of toys, scratching posts, cat trees, and cozy resting areas. For dogs, I can provide leash/harness walks and structured outdoor breaks as needed. My goal is always to ensure every pet feels secure, comfortable, and well cared for while in my home

Emily was amazing and it brought me so much peace of mind while on a day trip to know my babies were in such good hands. My dogs felt comfortable with her during the drop-in visit and Emily was very generous with her time. I would absolutely book with her again!

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 12. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for friends and family. They have relied on me to walk, bathe, feed and care for their pets when they needed the help. I also have pets of my own and cared for senior pets and the youngins. I’m currently not reaching the hours I need at my job and have a flexible schedule. So I can easily fit side quests in and would love to use that spare time to care for some furbabies! I love to be active and get out, so I am able to walk dogs/puppies and play with them. I also have alot of patience for pets who are shy. I love cats so much and understand their boundaries and when they are scared. I am really good with getting pets out of their shells and socializing.

About: I got my first dog at 7 years old, and I grew up with him and raised him throughout my whole life. Taking care of him taught me responsibility at a young age and showed me what it truly means to love and care for an animal. Since then, dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I have grown up around many different breeds of dogs and cats, which has made me comfortable with all personalities and energy levels. For the past 10 years, I have also helped my mom with Rover, giving me hands on experience caring for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet senior pets. Animals have always felt like family to me, and I treat every pet I care for with the same love, patience, and attention. 🐾💛 Taking care of pets is a big part of my day! I make sure they get lots of love, walks, playtime, and cuddles so they feel happy and cared for. When caring for pets in their home, I follow their usual routines, provide love, attention, walks, playtime, and cuddles, and make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away.

About: I grew up owning dogs so I know the basics for them. I more recently have gotten a cat. I have previously fostered 7 kittens at a time so I know I can handle whatever comes my way! I work full time on the weekdays so I have time on the weekends to check up and help out with your pets then! I can’t wait to meet your pets! I have watched and sat many pets for friends and families so it has given me plenty of experience. As a pet owner myself I know how to react incase of emergencies.

Haylee was absolutely wonderful with Chestnut! She was great to work with, communicated very well, and took excellent care of him while we were away. Chestnut is a senior dog and can be a little more high maintenance, but she took his care very seriously and followed all of the instructions we left perfectly. We could tell he was very comfortable with her and well cared for. We are so happy with our experience and will definitely be using Haley again in the future. Highly recommend!
