“Krissy did a fantastic job with our sweet Grayson. She was very attentive, sent us pics each day and even brought up a concern about Grayson not using the litter box. I would highly recommend her to anyone with pets, especially cats as I am biased in that way. We will use her again and again and again.”
“Kristina was GREAT!! I made many changes & she accommodated all of them with no problem. My kitties are so scared of new people, but they came out of hiding for her which says a lot. I would definitely book her again. Thank you!!”
“Nicole did such a great job with our 2 cats. It is obvious she loves cats and treats them like her own.. She was very reliable and sent us pictures and updates with each visit. I felt so comfortable knowing she was looking after our kitties, especially since we have an older cat and a very active and mischievous young cat. She also gave them their treats and made a special effort to take the treats upstairs to our older cat. Would definitely book with Nicole again!”
“Kari did a great job with my 3 dogs. We had a meet and greet prior and went over everything. One of our pups is a 75lb 8 month old puppy, and she had no problems handling him - even giving him a boost into the car because he hasn't quite figured out how to jump up yet. ? We will definitely be contacting her for future jobs.”
“We’re absolutely ecstatic about how well Lauren took care of Pacer. She was punctual in her role and left no details undone. She sent pictures and stayed in contact with us whenever i needed reassurance. Excellent job!! We will be using Lauren again for our next trip”
“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!!”
“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!”
“Janis is the only one I call to take care of my kitties and they all really like her! She comes when she is supposed to, feeds and scoops litter just like she is supposed to!”
“Natalie is an angel! My protective dog didn’t even bark at her when he first met her and immediately loved her. She’s so loving and kind with our animals, gentle and thoughtful. I trust her 100% and can’t wait to hire her again- I know my dog can’t wait to see her again either!”
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.
About: We love all kinds of animals and have been a rescue family for years!

Our dogs and rabbits have a dependable schedule and are crate trained We provide an enriching fun safe environment for our dog and rabbits. We have an invisible fence but our dogs never wear their collars now that they know to stay in the yard. They love walks and romping in our wooded yard
“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 currently have 3 of my own dogs, 2 golden retrievers and a rough collie. 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! I love all dogs regardless if they are large or small, long hair or short, young or old! All dogs are welcome! I am currently a teacher on summer break who wants to spend as much time with animals as possible! I am excited to spend time in the sun with your doggie! 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.
