“Alec was amazing. Truly. We weren't able to do a meet and greet due to a last minute cancellation from another sitter. Alec jumped right in and took amazing care of our dog and was so willing to help with extra little things for our cat who is generally self sufficient. He was timely and stayed with our dog while we were away to make sure she was okay. I will definitely be using Alec in the future!”
“Halligan is great with my old guy! Understands his gentle needs, is patient with him and is able to give medication if needed or asked! 1000% recommend Halligan for anybody!”
About: I have been around animals my whole life, growing up with a farm family. I have experience dog sitting multiple dogs, cats, rabbits and fish. I volunteered at animals shelters growing up, and I used to be a veterinary technician, so I have experience taking care of animals medically as well. I can help train any new pets, administer medications, rehab, and senior care. I have open availability to check on your pets through out the day in you're on vacation, or maybe just for a quick walk while you're at work. Your pet's safety is my first priority, whether they are kenneled, confined to a room, or you have a fenced in yard, I will make sure they are safe and can't escape, and I will leash any dog that does not have a fenced in yard for everyone's safety.
About: Hi, I'm Kat, I love all animals but I have an affinity for dogs, especially small ones. I've taken care of cats & dogs for more than 20 years. I've recently lost my baby boy Max (my Shih Tzu) to cancer, we're not ready to get another dog but am ready to help watch your dog and shower him/her with all the love/kisses they want. I'm available to watch your pup within 24hr notice. We don't have a fence yard but am willing and I enjoy walking dogs. We live in a very walkable town with nice wide sidewalks for your pup & I to go explore the neighborhood. I will treat your pet as if it was my own.
About: I have been taking care of my friends dogs for years now. I never had my own but I am very passionate about playing, feeding, walking, and bathing doggies! I have had plenty of my own cats over the years! Currently I have a two young cats who I have had to provide medicine too due to surgeries. I love playing with my own cats and would be happy to play with yours when needed! During the weekdays, I work til 3pm and will be available after 4pm to care for your animal. Weekends are more open and flexible to tend to your pet. During the summer my schedule is more open because I have off of work since I’m a teacher. I have a nice size backyard for your dog to play in! I also have two cats that can keep them company. I am open to support your pet and their needs however I can.
“I highly recommend Audrey for any pet sitting needs! She stopped by twice a day to care for my three cats while I went on vacation. I received pictures from her from each drop-in along with an update about how the drop-in went! I felt very comfortable leaving my cats in her hands!”
About: I have taken care of all different pets from puppies to seniors, big to small, active or cuddly. With some senior care experience or special needs. I am currently working part time and have availability on Tuesdays for walks or cuddle sessions. Boarding available on weekends but can be flexible if needed. We have a fenced in yard or a tie out, whichever you are comfortable with. Have a friendly dog that does go to Daycare and gets along well with others.
“Michael came 3 times a day for over a week for an hour at a time. He took time to spend with each of our 3 older dogs individually and sent multiple photos each time we was at our home. He gave in real time updates on food, bathroom breaks and ensured he gave each dog their medication. He brought our trash cans up our driveway, and brought it our mail before we even reached out to ask, and even took a photo of bees getting into our home while we were away in which we were able to prepare for before we returned from our vacation. He was wonderful for us and from the looks of our blink camera taking some videos in real time, the dogs loved him as well!! We will be requesting Michael each time we take a trip as we feel incredibly comfortable with his care.”
About: I have always felt happier around animals! I have had the pleasure of caring for dogs, cats, and rabbits since I was young. In my adult years, I have owned and trained four German Shepherds. I have cared for puppies and older dogs that required medicine. I currently have more time in my schedule to assist with your pet needs now that I am older and my children are young adults. Our pets have been an integral part of our family, and I would like to give the same love to your pets. I am ready to help you.
About: I have been working at a pet store for 2 years and own a cat and dog that need my love and care everyday. I have experience with things like feeding, walking, and giving medication to dogs and cats. I mostly work on Friday’s and Sunday’s at my part-time job, so I have plenty of time during the week to take care of your pet(s). I am very flexible with whatever your pet needs. Whether that is comfort and relaxation or exercise and play; I’ll have fun no matter what.
“Oliver was great our two dogs. He went above and beyond for them. He is a great communicator and easy to work with. He played with our dogs and gave them fresh water. We would recommend Oliver to anyone. We will definitely be using him again.”
About: I’ve had all kinds of pets from the age of 5 and have been pet sitting off and on since I was a teenager. Friends and family have relied on me to love and care for their pets as my own. I would love to meet your furry friend and give you peace of mind that they will be well cared for while you are away. Jake loves to play with other dogs his size and they always have a good time running and playing together. He is indifferent to cats and I would love a fur ball to sit in my lap. I have a lot of experience giving medications to dogs and other pets. I will work with you to give your pet the things they are familiar with at home. Look for lots of photos and videos of your pet having fun while they are with me! I work full time but I am home throughout the day so that they are only alone for a maximum of 2-4 hours. We love to walk and visit the dog park in our spare time I have no commitments outside of work and can provide companionship and playtime with your family member and my Jake. I am more than happy to accommodate any needs your furry friend has and the schedule he or she needs.

Katuiscia B.
“Katuiscia's wonderful dog Max recently passed away at age 14.5 yrs and that has left a big loving hole in her heart that she wants to fill with other dogs. She's always been the woman who says hello to all the dogs in the neighborhood, knows all their names. They all know and love her so much. Her home is pet friendly and she has an extensive history in customer service which will make this a perfect fit for her lifestyle.”

She takes care of my cat when I go out of town and sends me photos and updates on how my kitty is doing, which eases my worries about Shadow. She has experience with giving oral medicine (pills) to my cat and does it with the utmost care. You must hire Ariel to look after your pet because she would treat them just like family!”

She sends me updates (with pictures) about how they’re doing, will interact with them, and make sure they have everything they need. She is not like other sitters that come and go super quickly - she will play with them to make sure that they are still being socialized when I am gone! 10000/10 experience!”
