About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 7 years now as a part time side job! I love all kinds and love to hangout and see their personalities! I do work full time Monday-Friday at different office locations! I am more available after work for drop ins or walking. I have house sat/dog sit for families for years and love to do so! For me I like to meet the client first and have a list of what they expect and do for their pet! I do check ins for the family!
“Arianna impressed me from the start with her great communication before booking. She stayed overnight with my mom's two 14-year-old cats. I came home to two happy cats and a clean house. Thank you so much, Arianna!”
“Chris did another fine job for us. He did all we asked and more. We got detailed reports from him. He showed up at fairly consistent times. Though it must be hard on our cat to have us leave, it sounded like he did his best to shower some love on our little girl. I believe he has a real heart for cats. Thanks Chris!”
About: I have had many dogs over the years, ranging from small terrier mix types as well as larger, retrievers, and setters. I love them all. I work from home. I am currently only accepting drop-in visits for your doggies and/or kittiesI would be able to do a morning and afternoon and an evening drop in taking care of all the food and water needs as well as daily walks. I am currently only accepting drop-in visits, but I have a wide range of times during the day available to take great care of your baby
About: During the past year as freshman in college, I got certified at a humane society where I learned how to effectively walk and care for pets. I am currently on track to go to vet school in three years as I major in biology on the pre-vet track and plan to shadow veterinarians this summer. I am a conscientious student athlete on the deans list. As a college soccer player, I am driven and always ready to take on a challenge! I can’t wait to meet your pet(s)! I am currently player summer soccer in the evenings of Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7:30-9 as well as games on Saturdays. Otherwise I am very open throughout the week! At home we have an electric fence for our dog and no crate. However, from pet setting for someone previously who’s dog does use a crate, I am familiar with and will be able to get your pet into a crate if needed. My dog is also getting old and needs some special care such as soaking his food for his sensitive teeth or helping him jump up onto beds. I am able to adapt to any accommodations needed.
“Once again, Christina provides great updates, lots of pictures, and my cats seem to love her. I feel comfortable with her as a sitter and feel my babies are safe. Definitely rebooking again!”
“Ande did an amazing job with Jax. He can be stubborn and anxious around new ppl and she was very kind and patient with him. She took lots of pictures so I knew he was happy and in good hands. We will definitely use her again!”

Carol A.
“Carol is basically my adopted mom and I think the first thing anybody close to her would say is that she is an animal lover through and through. She truly cares for her pets (and our pets when we're lucky enough to have her sit them) like no other. She's sweet to them and keeps them happy, but also has the strength to say "No" when it's for the best. Carol has had cats, dogs, birds, frogs, and more and gives them the best life a pet could ask for! How old is Ferb the frog now, like 100? If you want someone to take good care of your pets when you're away, you could not get a better sitter than Carol! She will always be the first person we ask to sit our dog and chickens.”
Erin O.
“I highly recommend Erin as a pet sitter. Erin is a true animal lover and a very sweet person. My dog is hesitant around people, but the first time she met Erin, she went right up to her trusting and sensing her love for dogs. Erin has watched my dog a few times and has always gone above and beyond to help make her feel comfortable while we were gone. Spending all of her free time with my puppy and taking her on extra walks. I would give Erin a 5 out of 5 rating as a pet sitter.”
Christina J.Star Sitter
“Once again, Christina provides great updates, lots of pictures, and my cats seem to love her. I feel comfortable with her as a sitter and feel my babies are safe. Definitely rebooking again!”
