“Caitlyn is kind and caring ! She was punctual , and even arrived a little earlier :) Milo was very happy in all of the photos she sent me. I know he had a great time playing with her. She was attentive and communicated with me during the visit. I will definitely book with Caitlyn again to care for Milo :) He was in good hands 🥰”



“Keoma provided excellent care for my three cats. I appreciated her consistent communication and punctuality especially since I have been burned before by other sitters. Most importantly, my cats were happy and healthy when I returned, which speaks volumes about the quality of care she provided!”


About: Lifelong dog lover with experience caring for pups of all sizes—providing daily affection, exercise and tailored attention to keep tails wagging and hearts happy. I have two dogs of my own (one chihuahua and one english bulldog) so I have experience with low and high maintenance fur babies. I'm currently volunteering at a local shelter catering to dogs of all sizes! I currently have a hybrid schedule, which means I'm home half of the week and usually free on the weekends! I'm already a dog mom of two so my dogs' routine is like second nature to me. I have a dog-friendly home including a fenced-in backyard, with tons of space for your pups to roam safely. My neighborhood is extremely dog friendly and I'm only 2 blocks from a park for longer walks!

“Lauryn was so nice and attentive to feeding my cat and fish. She always kindly asked if there was anything more she should do, and communicated with me every day to tell me when she was going to stop by. She always took pictures of the food she refilled during each visit. Thank you Lauryn!”


“Hannah was such a great pal to our cat Jeffrey while we were away! She is very communicative and responsible, and we’ll definitely be contacting her for pet sitting next time we go out of town.”


“Railya was such a responsive sitter and really put our minds at ease while we were away. I really appreciate her time with our cat, and I was confident our cat was in good hands. I would gladly recommend her any time.”

As a devoted dog mom to Frank and Colette for over eight years, she’s experienced it all from puppy energy to senior dog TLC and handles it with patience, care, and a great sense of humor.

Beyond being a true animal lover, Caroline is attentive, communicative, and incredibly reliable qualities any pet parent would be lucky to find in a sitter.

Megan M.
“I’ve trusted Megan McCaffrey to care for my two dogs—a lively white shepherd and a sensitive, selective pitbull mix—and she’s been nothing short of amazing. Both girls have very different needs, and Megan handles them with grace, patience, and genuine affection. She keeps my shepherd active and engaged while offering calm, reassuring care to my pit mix, who’s often anxious around new people and just in general. Megan’s ability to read their moods and respond with the right energy is something I deeply value. My dogs adore her, and I always feel at ease knowing they’re in her care. She is also fantastic with her own two high maintenance cats! Megan is reliable, communicative, and incredibly thoughtful. She treats my pets like family and brings a sense of calm and joy to every visit. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and capable pet sitter”
