“Katie took great care of my Sophie and I knew she was well cared for and did not feel abandoned in my absence. That's exactly what we both needed.”


“We’ve been using Jodi for a while now and couldn’t ask for anyone better to watch our pets! Very punctual, professional, and caring. We’d recommend her to any and everyone!”


“First time using this service. came across Jasmine who was absolutely amazing with my anti-social 4yr old. Jasmine kept me updated with daily check ins and lots of photos, keeping me well informed every step of the way. Highly recommend Jasmine for pet sitting needs in the future.”


“Brooke was the best for our two cats! I knew i didnt have to worry at all while we were out of town! She is such an animal lover and our kitties took to her right away. Thank you so much Brooke and I know we'll be booking with her again in the future!”


“KJ was amazing! She checked in on my cat when I was out of town, and when I unexpectedly had to extend my trip KJ was readily able to continue checking in on my cat for me and even picked up more food. KJ is extremely reliable, caring, and kind and I will 100% book with her again! My cat is very wary of new people but warmed up to KJ very quickly :)”


“Teri Sue did an amazing job taking care of and loving on our two fur kids while we were out for several long days. She was very professional and was in constant communication with me throughout. We were able to enjoy our long days out without worrying about our boys and even got as lots of pictures. I am so grateful to have met such a great and loving person. Teri Sue is absolutely fantastic. I cannot say enough. We would definitely recommend her and plan to book a more visits soon. Thanks again Teri Sue!”


“China did such a great job and our pets enjoyed her company. Thank you so much for taking care of our babies!”


About: I have owned and taken care of pets since I was a child. I love animals! They deserve top notch care and I will provide that to them! I am available in the evenings and weekends. I am flexible and can be available during the day, some. Whatever you need, we will figure it out. I will not just put your fur baby in a crate, I will interact, play, and cuddle with them! While you are away, your pet will be safe and well taken care of.

“She took such good care of our cat! Wouldn't hesitate to use her again!!”


“Reanna and Nicholas provided excellent in-home care for our 3 cats while we were on vacation. We will definitely use them again during future trips.”


About: I have taken care of chihuahua’s to Pitbulls and have had dogs since I was a child. I have boarded dogs and regularly do house visits to let dogs out to potty during the work week. I am experienced in understanding dog behavior and communication patterns. I work from home 5 days a week and care for my own 2 dogs that get to spend time outside in our backyard every few hours. I have a large fenced backyard and have experience with animal care. The dogs will spend a majority of their time indoors, but frequently have supervised outside play time in the backyard (weather permitting). Dog walks can also be provided at no addition cost. At night, I have a large kennel inside they can sleep in with blankets. Daily pictures and status updates can be sent as well if desired. Pets toys are welcome if you would like to bring your own. To ensure a low stress transition owners are welcome to set up a meet and greet prior to booking. All dogs will be introduced one at a time with any other animals and be able to take a private house tour.

About: I work at a vet hospital and I have for 5years, I’ve owned many pets previously. I know how to give medicine properly and tell when something is off! I work full time! I’m completely free on weekends and most weekdays after 3pm! I can make adjustments for you if you give me enough notice! I live in an apartment with 2 cats, with plenty of space and walk and play so there will be no shortage of play time!! However at your home I would treat them as my own! Playtime, walks, and even cuddles if they want! I love all kinds of pets and I can make everything go smoothly!

“Annemarie was very communicative and was able to drop in last minute for me. I recommend using her for future services”


“Morgan just genuinely loves her job and the pets she helps out and it shows in every photo and communication I received while I was gone. If she’s available to take care of my boys, I’m hiring her every time. Thanks!!”


“Tori was excellent!!!, this was my second time using her for my cat. She was friendly, patient and attentive to my not so friendly cat. She kept me updated daily and made me aware of any arrival delays. She followed all my instructions to the letter. I felt 100% comfortable with the care my cat received and I know I will be rebooking again soon! Don’t hesitate to book Tori!!!”


“Laura was so good to my baby and she had a great time.”


“Sheila was super organized, came on time every day and took great care of my pug and Dane while I was gone. Would recommend.”


About: I’ve always taken care of animals, but for the past five years I’ve been doing it on my own.I would watch friends and family’s pets whenever they needed it. Cats or dogs, it doesn’t really matter. I’m in college but I have a very flexible schedule. Mostly Monday, Wednesday and weekends work well for me. If there’s a emergency I’m sure I can work something out. I love taking dogs on walks and playing with them. I have dealt with small dogs to big dogs, so I’m comfortable with both. I’ve also have done basic training with them.

About: I have worked with many animals of many ages. I have raised kittens from a few days old and have experience caring for older dogs as well I currently have a full time 9/5 job so weekends mostly work for me as well as some weekday evenings. That would fit my schedule best. I have cared for dogs in other people’s homes before. I enjoy doing what the pet loves and is most comfortable for them. I cannot care for pets in my home at this time.

“Ashley was fantastic! She did just what we asked her to do and much more! I knew our cats were in great hands when she updated us after every visit. I know that this review is short but I would highly recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs.”

“The best choice for picky fur parents! She won't show up just to feed and let out your precious ones and be gone 10 minutes later. She loves on your furry kiddos, plays with them. She gives them that social interaction your pets need when you are away. My fluffy kids love when she comes by!”
