“Kristina was fantastic, did everything I requested and made sure my house was safe and locked up after every visit. She also spent time getting my timid cat to warm up to her. Definitely will request again when I travel! Thank you!”
“We always appreciate Nicole watching our kitties! Very reliable and responsive which makes me feel at ease when we have to leave our boys at home during vacation.”
“Trinity did an excellent job and provided peace of mind while we were on vacation! Would highly recommend! The daily check-ins and pics were very nice as well! Thanks again!”
“She saved my bacon this weekend! I was out of town for Mother's Day, and somehow made a mistake and didn't book her for 2 visits on Friday. When I texted (because she didn't appear on video on time) I realized the mistake. She sent her daughter right over, and fixed the booking. She's always on time, and that was my first clue that something was wrong. Awesome pet sitter! Thank you!!”
“Kari took great care of our cat while we were away. She sent pictures daily and communicated so well with how he was doing each day. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Natalie was amazing with our cat!! She followed the directions perfectly, was a great communicator, and went above and beyond with the check in notes and pictures. We will definitely use her again!”
“Minnie is a senior kitty with some special needs. Rafael always takes care of her with the same compassion that he would extend to his own pets. I know that she's in good hands.”
About: Eager to work with all sorts of animals, from dogs & cats to reptiles & rodents! Experienced with animals of all ages and abilities, even those with specific medical needs. I discovered my love for all animals during my two year veterinary assistant training I took in high school. I went on to work at a local vet clinic after high school where I cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, and rats of all ages and abilities. I was also very fortunate to learn the basics of caring for toads, turtles, snakes, and chickens as I worked at a 4-H Center for a year. While I no longer have the space to keep my own pets, I treat any animal I care for like they are my own and am very eager to start working with your pet! I am a homebody at heart, so I am available most nights and weekends to care for your pet! I also get flexible breaks during my work day, so I can check in on them consistently. I will make sure to look after your pet and your house like it's my own. I would make sure everything your pet needs is provided for.
About: I’ve cared for both cats and dogs throughout my life. I truly love all kinds of pets and enjoy spending time with them. I'm comfortable with all ages—from playful kittens and puppies to calm senior pets. I’m gentle and patient, and I’ll make sure your furry friend feels safe, loved, and at ease with me. I'm mostly a stay-at-home mom, so I'm available most of the time — even on short notice! If you need someone to take your dog for a quick walk, I'm happy to help. I also love sending lots of photo updates, so you can feel connected with your pet while you're away. Feel free to text me anytime — I’m quick to respond and happy to chat about your pet’s needs! You can trust me to care for your pets like my own. I’ll always ask questions to make sure I understand your pet’s needs and routines. My goal is to be the right fit so your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.
“Lucy is the BEST of the BEST!! This was our first time having pet sitting for our cat and with negative boarding experiences in the past, we were so nervous at how she would do with being left at home but Lucy did an INCREDIBLE job with Jinx! She has been so comfortable being in her own space and I can see how happy she was when Lucy came to check on her and play with her. She set up a meet and greet before booking to make sure everyone was comfortable and sent some adorable photos with every check in visit which gave us so much peace of mind while out of the country! Lucy is the sweetest and truly, truly treats your pet(s) like her own pack and I absolutely cannot recommend her enough. Thank you, Lucy!!”

About: I have dog sat for over 6 years now. I have always had a dog or dogs at my home and love every dog I meet! I will be able to play with them, take them on walks, and more!

I am great with puppies also as in helping them learn to walk on a leash, to be on a feeding schedule, to have plenty of bathroom breaks, and learn how to play with other dogs!

Since owning my own three dogs, I have plenty of experience with walking on a leash, playing, feeding and interacting with animals of all shapes and sizes.
