“From the moment we met her, we knew our cat was in the most loving and capable hands. She cared for our fur baby with so much tenderness and attention, going above and beyond to ensure Charlie felt safe, comfortable, and loved while we were away. Her daily updates brought us peace of mind and smiles each day. We are so grateful for her, and feel incredibly lucky to have found someone so wonderful to care for our Charlie.”
“Taryn was great! We have two senior cats and she followed our instructions perfectly. It's such a relief when you can find a solid Sitter to care for your fur baby! Taryn, thanks for helping out on last minute notice and making the commute to St. John!”
“Eli is fantastic! I cannot say enough positive things about our experience! Our cat, Babs, was well taken care of, fed, and even got to play while we were away for the weekend! I absolutely loved the check in reports Eli made! My husband and I were smiling all weekend reading them and for the first time I can remember, I wasn't laying awake in bed worrying about if Babs had enough food and water or was getting into trouble while we were away. I would recommend Eli to anyone who has pets and wants them to feel cared for while they are away and I will definitely be contacting Eli again for check ins when my husband and I go on another trip!”
“Cassidy is great! Easy to coordinate with and reliable. My cat is a bit shy and it takes some time for him to warm up to people but she was so patient with him and always tried to win him over! Highly recommend.”
About: I have been around dogs and cats since I was a kid. Growing up I had an adorable pit bull that I would feed, walk, and bathe regularly. My family and friends also had cats that I would occasionally watch and feed as well. Recently I have excelled with sticking to strict dietary restrictions for a senior dog I sat to also helping leash train and walk my siblings 6 month old dog. I'm currently working part time and expect to attend college when the semester starts in late August. Luckily between my class schedule and work schedule I have more than enough flexibility to provide the service you and your pet need. I have personal dog walking experience and can provide a comfortable walking environment for your pet. I also have experience with rowdy dogs and can safely handle playtime.
About: Hello, my name is Megan. I have a passion for taking care of all animals. I tend to enjoy animals more than people, lol. I have three dogs, four cats, two rabbits, and two rats. All whom I love dearly and care for. The way I treat my animals is the way I treat other animals. That is with lots of love, patience and care. If you have any questions for me, do not hesitate to ask. I am an open book. I look forward to hearing from you. Until then God Bless & Take Care! I work full-time in a vet clinic so I work visits around my current schedule as best as I can. I am quite successful in doing so and have owners who find my schedule fits theirs. I listen to all concerns from the owner so I make sure to keep all animals safe while under my care. I take all animals safety very seriously so I make sure to watch my surroundings and/or any hazardous items be kept away from the animal. I feed, give fresh water, take outside to use the bathroom, and play with the animal.
“Kayla was awesome! She is very communicative and took care of my cat like her very own. She fed, socialized & played, and helped with the water & litter while I was away. She took lots of photos and left me lots of notes in the end so I knew exactly what she did! Thanks, Kayla! 🩷”
“Pam was great from our very first contact. She suggested meeting at a neutral spot so we could meet and the dogs could meet. We met at Petsmart. The dogs got along great too we proceeded to book Ozzie's 2 night boarding stay. Her house is very nice with a huge yard and a walking trail that borders her property. She took Ozzie and her dog Redford on several walks. I knew right away that Ozzie would be considered as part of the family and would be treated well. He made himself right at home and I was very comfortable leaving him there knowing he would be comfortable and well cared for. I will definitely use Pam again next time we have to go out of town. Highly recommended for overnight pet boarding!!”
“He did an amazing job cat sitting my 6yo and 15yo cats! My 15yo had extra needs which were fully attended to and he kept me updated on how much they ate, if they threw up, etc. I booked an overnight stay and he went out of his way to wash the bedding he used. He cared a lot and was very thoughtful and detail oriented. Would/will book again!”

About: I currently work at a dog daycare, and spend all of my time caring about dogs and trying to make them happy. I really like to learn dog’s personalities and make my time spent with them, something that they’ll enjoy. I also have two dogs of my own, and spend a lot of time walking them. I’m willing to do anything to keep your pup safe. Dogs are such sweet babies, and deserve to feel happy and safe, so when you are away Im willing to be that for your pup. I will even work on training commands, if that’s something that’s already been being worked on at home. I can’t wait to meet your dogs and help you all stay happy!! Im currently working full time. I’m free all day a few days out of the week and during the early afternoon and after on days I work! Im willing to stop in any time that I’m free before or after work & days I have off. I have a lot of experience caring for animals in a safe manner for both the animals and myself. I’m very comfortable around dogs and cats, and can handle them in a safe manner for everyone!
“Ashley was extremely reliable and affectionate towards my cats. She really looked after their needs according to their personalities. She even vacuumed their fur off the carpet and furniture. Honestly, she is one of the best sitters we've ever had.”
About: For as long as I can remember I have taken care of, rescued, and cared for animals. Through out my life I have over all had 18 animals in my house hold (at one point in time 8 cats all under the same roof) and I have often helped taken care of animals of family and friends. I have checked in on dogs for noon outside time and potty breaks as well as stayed at a home for as long as a month to take care of a cat. I have experience with pets in all stages of life and in handling animals with different temperaments. I have also given animals medications (from diabetic shots to thyroid pills to special prescription food) and I am very active in taking care of them. Currently I have one dog and three cats that I share with my partner, all of whom I have taken care of from early on in their lives. I am currently in between jobs so most days and times I am available. I do share a car but we always work together to figure out who can use the car when. Just let me know what you need and when and I will work with you to figure out a schedule that works for both of us. I am very respectful of other's homes, making sure things are clean and nothing is messed up. Whether your fur baby tore up a rug or I accidentally broke something, there will be full transparency on what happened while you're away. I can send daily text check ins and don't mind being called daily to ensure everything is alright, your animals are family and I will treat them as such. Any house rules or animal schedules you have set I will abide by. I will give your animal full attention and do what I can to give them what they need.
