3. Kylie F.
“I've known Kylie for years, and throughout that time, they've consistently been a rock for me. When I was going through a tough breakup, they were always there to listen without judgment, offering words of encouragement and support. Their unwavering positivity and genuine care helped me navigate that difficult period and get back on my feet. Kylie is truly a special person who always puts others first, and I'm so grateful to have her in my life.”

About: I’ve had a dogs in my life, since I was a child, and was introduced to cats as I ventured into the collegiate life. As an adult I have cared for dogs primarily, but recently had the opportunity to take care of the sweetest cats! I am fairly patient with pets and like to give them as much space as they like to try to not mess up the routines, but if they are balls of energy and cuddle bugs, I am more than happy to comply! I believe that walks and healthy roaming space is good for a dog’s, development and energy, and respecting a cat to make the first move to ensure respect and comfort to their environment. Hi! I’m a full-time high school interpreter and a lifelong animal lover. During the school year, I spend my days helping students thrive in the classroom — and now that summer’s here, I’m excited to dedicate my time to caring for your pets! I like doing research on the neighborhoods that I’m going into if it’s a new area, and like to understand what you have available, either a dog park, or a fenced backyard, to really understand how to best care for your dog. My dog is a big ball of energy so I have learned a lot of skills to be able to make sure that they stay in their assigned spaces, I do like to keep them with me on my lap as I work, or nearby letting them enjoy a nap.

8. taylor m.
“There is absolutely nothing more valuable than the peace of mind of knowing your fur babies are being loved and cared for and that is exactly what you can expect with Taylor. She is a wonderful, gentle soul and loves animals beyond belief. She even took pictures to keep me updated. (Who doesn’t love seeing your babies while you’re away) They just loved her. I can’t say enough good things about Taylor. So if you want great care and a good experience she is your lady.!”


9. Erika R.

“Erika was great. My cats usually shy away from new people but they all came out to meet her. Will definitely use her again”


10. Cheyenne M.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. Family and friends have relied on me to walk and feed their pets. I’ve cared for cats and dogs of all ages! I’m currently working part-time as a cashier. So I would be available most nights and Saturdays. I am always looking forwarded to hanging out with furry friends. I respect all clients homes and you won’t even tell I was there. I care for our furry friend and clean up after them and myself!




11. Devin G.

“Devin was professional and gave us good updates on how our cats were doing! Very much appreciate his help!”


12. Laci R.
“Laci has no my animals since they were puppies. She’s always been so good with them. She loves them like they were her own. I know I can always count on her if I need her to check in on my animals. I trust her with their life’s! I highly recommend her! Absolutely amazing”


13. Alisha J.
“Alisha took wonderful care of our 6 cats while we were away for almost 3 weeks. She was aware that I’m a nervous pet parent so she took the time to send me pictures and updates on our babies daily. It made me so comfortable knowing that someone who is as caring and thoughtful as she is was there. When we got back the litter boxes were in great shape and the house looked like no one had even been there. We plan to hire her again the next time we take an extended trip!”


14. Joshua W.


“Josh was great! We needed someone to take our Rottweiler, Minnie, out in the mornings and evenings while we were traveling - just too much “dog” for my older parents to take care of. Josh was extremely caring to Minnie and made sure to send pictures & status updates after every visit. He fed her treats took her out for walks, and made sure she got some attention. It’s hard to find someone you can trust that can handle such a big dog. We were so glad that it worked out - we will book him again!”




15. Heather C.
“Heather is great with animals dogs and cats alike. She makes sure they have the proper food even makes fresh homemade food and treats. Makes sure her dogs have exercise and play time outside Takes them to play parks in her area And they play with other animals. Health wise they are taken to the vet for regular check ups. She is great with other people's animals. Dog sits when needed. My pets all love her, I have three dogs and two cats. You would not go wrong using her as a helper.”


16. Elaina F.
“I cannot recommend Elaina enough as a pet sitter! She took care of my three cats while I was away, and I was beyond impressed with the level of care and attention she provided. Not only did she make sure they were well-fed and had fresh water, but she also spent time playing with them and giving them the affection they needed. She kept me updated with messages and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing my cats were happy and in great hands. When I returned, everything was just as I left it—clean, organized, and my cats were clearly well cared for.”


17. Emma S.
About: I have been taking care of pets since I was 10. I grew up with multiple cats to care for and have been a dog owner for 11 years. I have experience with puppies/kittens, as well as seniors who may have medical needs. I am also capable of handling high energy pets and households with multiples. I do work full-time (M-F) but have a flexible schedule. I have time in the mornings, and after 5 during the weekdays to care for your pets, and times during the day. Most weekends are very open. I know all pet parents have different rules/expectations, so I am open and happy to follow your lead on how you would need things done. I have a senior dog who is used to no crate, taking full advantage of the couches and beds :) and enjoys moderate length walks. I have had him since he was a puppy, so I am able to provide long walks, exercise time outside and crating if need be.


18. Natasha K.
About: I recently and unexpectedly lost my dog of 8 years. I'm not ready for a new dog just yet but miss the companionship and would love to be able to help care for someone else's best friend while they're away. Unfortunately I cannot have pets where I live so I will only be able to care for a your dog in your home. I am available day or night, 7 days a week to provide your best friend with the care they need while you are away. I am not currently employed so I have an open schedule and I'm looking to fill some of the time. Hopefully I will be able to so some of that time taking care of your best friend I will care for your pet as best as I can following your specifications and if I have any questions or concerns I will not hesitate to either call or text immediately.
