“I cannot say enough get things about Kylie. She was prompt, great with communication, flexible, but most important my dog loves her. He was genuinely happier on days he saw Kylie and that is invaluable. Thank you so much Kylie! ❤️”

“Sara is the best!! I could not have asked for a better pet sitter while I was away for Thanksgiving. She was very polite and responsive throughout our experience which was very appreciated. She sent plenty of pictures of my Gino, and I know he greatly appreciated the playtime and socializing. She was wonderful overall and I will absolutely be booking with her next time I need a pet sitter. Thank you Sara :))”

“Catherine was SO lovely. This was my first time booking with her and will definitely again. I was able to be on my vacation with no worries at all. She took tons of pictures and videos and communicated so well.”

“She was great and took great care of my puppy when I was nervous about leaving her. She was very thorough and sent lots of updates and pictures.”

“Jessica did an awesome job with her first drop-in visit for my dog and cat! It’s clear she has expert-level knowledge of pet care, great communication, and is very professional. I loved all the photos she included from her visit. And my babies love her!”

“Sarah was a very good.choice to look after our dogs while we were away. She was very punctual a provided pictures and updates each visit. She even went above and beyond and provided care for our turtle that was not.part.of the original agreement. Would definitely recommend!”

“jordan was such a big help this week when i had a last minute trip. she responded quickly and updated me with photos of my cats each time she left my house. by the looks of the pictures, my cats seemed to be very happy and comfortable with her there 😊 will definitely book with her again in the future!”


“Lindsey was great about communicating, agreed to set up a meet and greet and had good availability for that, and took good care of our kitty while we were gone. She was able to handle giving a pill. Thanks, Lindsey!”

“Ashtin & Jenison are awesome! This is my second time booking with them to watch my cat, Duchess. I always get lots of photos and Duchess looks very happy. They even brought in a laser toy for her! They helped me out with last minute requests and also with two extensions on my last visit. They are super friendly and helpful, and seem to genuinely enjoy spending time with my cat. i will definitely book with them again!”

“We booked last minute on a holiday week. Rachel was so reliable and took great care of our cat Bubba. She took daily pictures and gave us thorough updates. It really helped not to worry about our pet on last minute travel.”

“Kim was fantastic with my two older cats, which are very high maintenance. She was extremely kind and had wonderful communication all weekend - I am very thankful for her kindness and feel completely comfortable with her -- having her watch them has eased my anxiety about leaving them!”

“Addelynn was great watching my cats, and would definitely recommend her! Super easy communication to schedule and coordinate keys with her. She took care of both my cats & sent updates and photos for my peace of mind while I was away. It seems like she already became close friends with my cat Ricky who was purring in her lap after only 2 visits, which makes having to be away even easier <3”

About: I’ve been pet sitting for years with different size dogs and multiple dogs at a time; I have loved dogs since a young age and carry it with me always! I love animals! I’m a huge dog and cat lover! I don’t have any dogs of my own, as I care for other’s animals as if they were my own! I can always come to your home and sit your dogs and cats! I want them to be as happy and comfortable as possible! I am always willing to plan my schedule around your fur babies!
“Aubrey gave us so much peace of mind by helping with a few last-minute drop-ins while we were in the middle of moving and I was starting a new job. She’s a great communicator, and our pup clearly loves her. Her updates always included helpful recaps and adorable photos. Highly recommend Aubrey!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember, with experience ranging from dogs and cats to turtles and hermit crabs. I’m comfortable caring for pets in all stages of life, from energetic puppies who need patience, consistency, and basic training reinforcement to senior dogs who may require extra attention, slower walks, medication support, or mobility assistance. I pride myself on being dependable, attentive, and compassionate with every pet I care for. I understand that each animal has a different personality and routine, and I work to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding schedules, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet like they are my own. I am currently in grad school, so my daily schedule is a little wonky. My days usually start around 8 am and end at 4 pm. Besides that I am wide open to care for your pet and I will be able to stop by during breaks in my days! I am more than comfortable to crate animals if needed. I am attentive and caring, the same levels I would wish someone would give my own pet.
“Brooke took care of my fur baby who we just adopted several weeks ago. She is amazing, no other words! We have used her in the past with our other dogs and she is the best and super trustworthy.”

“Addie was wonderful and my doggies both loved her! She took a ton of pictures while she was here & I could clearly see the pups were walked and played with during her time at the house. I will definitely be booking again!”

Shannon was amazing with my 2 cats. One had been abused before we adopted her and is extremely non-social and very skittish. After a few days he was able to give her a little pet which is just a testament to the care he took with her.He sent great information and pics and I could not have asked for anyone better. Great communication, punctual, went above and beyond, highly recommend!

Ashleigh was great! She helped take care of Penelope while I was out of town for work and did an awesome job. She was so loving towards Penelope and made sure she was well taken care of! She was on time, thorough, and provided lots of pictures and visit recaps!

Addelynn was great watching my cats, and would definitely recommend her! Super easy communication to schedule and coordinate keys with her. She took care of both my cats & sent updates and photos for my peace of mind while I was away. It seems like she already became close friends with my cat Ricky who was purring in her lap after only 2 visits, which makes having to be away even easier <3
