Charles is the best! He took great care of my two dogs over a 9 day housesitting stay and came out best friends with both of them, including the shy one that takes time to warm up to new people. He left such thoughtful notes on how they did, made some really great judgement calls on the fly, and is just a great person to have around. I would absolutely book with him again.

We booked Alexandra to pet sit for our cat for 10 days, while we were away. She was very professional and it was great knowing we had someone we could trust at our home. We will definitely book her again. Our cat was well taken care of by Alex. Thank You!

About: I’ve cared for all kinds of animals — dogs, cats, chickens, fish, bunnies, and even goats! I grew up surrounded by pets, from dogs and cats to chickens in the backyard, so taking care of animals has always been second nature to me. I also volunteer at a local animal shelter, where I walk and care for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I genuinely love connecting with animals and getting to know their unique quirks and routines. Whether it’s going on walks, feeding, playtime, or just giving them some extra love and attention, I always make sure each pet feels safe, happy, and cared for like they’re my own. Pet care is already a big part of my weekly routine! I volunteer at an animal shelter where I walk dogs, so spending time with animals is something I do regularly and genuinely enjoy. Between school and work, I make time each day for walks, playtime, and giving pets the attention they need. I love building those little moments of connection into my day whether it’s an early morning walk, a quick drop-in visit, or evening cuddles after dinner. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I treat them and their space with the same respect and attention I would my own. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special instructions to make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you are away. I always take time to give them affection, keep them active, and make sure they are happy and relaxed. I also keep things tidy and make sure your home is just as you left it. Communication is very important to me, so I send updates and photos during each visit so you can feel confident that your pet is well cared for.

Liz did an amazing job with Gizmo. She entertained her and got her out for fresh air several times during her watch. I would have Liz watch Gizmo again if I’m ever in the area.

About: Your furry friend deserves more than just a sitter—they deserve a new best friend! 🐾 I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. Whether your pup is energetic and playful or prefers a calm, cozy routine, I tailor my care to match their personality and needs. I provide loving, reliable care that keeps tails wagging and owners worry-free. From playtime to cuddles, your furry friend will feel right at home while you’re away. I’m attentive to details like feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special instructions you provide. You can expect regular updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your dog is in good hands. I work part time at dunks which makes my schedule flexible so that allows me to provide dependable care throughout the week. I am typically available mornings, evenings, and weekends, with additional availability on select weekdays depending on prior bookings. I plan my schedule to ensure each pet receives consistent attention, timely feedings, walks, and companionship. For pets requiring multiple visits per day, I can accommodate early morning, midday, and evening check-ins when arranged in advance. Because I work part-time, I am able to dedicate focused, unrushed time to each visit, making sure pets feel comfortable, cared for, and well looked after. I always communicate availability clearly and provide updates to ensure smooth scheduling and peace of mind for pet owners. My grandfather, Sid Lovett, was instrumental in my decision to make a career out of caring for animals. Safety and well-being are my top priorities. I monitor pets for any changes in behavior or health and communicate updates regularly, including photos and messages for peace of mind. I also ensure the home remains secure and follow any specific instructions provided by the owner. My goal is to make each pet feel comfortable and cared for, just as they would with their family.

About: Working with animals has always been a passion of mine. Currently I work at VCA Russell Animal Hospital as a veterinary assistant 30-40 hours a week. So, I do have knowledge in veterinary medicine. If you choose me to care for your cat or dog you will not be disappointed. I love every breed and every size and will provide the most excellent care for your family member. I have 3 dogs of my own currently and am very capable of caring for all life stages. Thank you for taking time to look into my profile and I hope you choose me to watch/care for your loved one (: Trying to stray away from my full-time job and make this my full-time job. Taking care of your pets is my top priority and I want to be able to have the availability to do so. I care for pets as I would my own. My pets are my babies and I would do anything for them. I will treat your animal like they are one of my own.

Lani was great taking care of our two senior dogs that have special needs. One is blind, requires medications, and wound care; the other one can’t hear. Lani handled it all with ease and professionalism, communicated well, and the dogs seem very comfortable. Highly recommend!

Danny did a great job watching our dog for a week over Christmas. She has separation anxiety so he brought her to his family’s Christmas! We were so thankful she wasn’t home alone during the holidays! Danny was also very responsible watching our house and even cleaned the sheets before he left. He kept us updated with messages and photos. We’ll definitely be using him again in the future!

Kristin is absolutely amazing! From start to finish, she provided outstanding care for our dog, Bruce, and truly went above and beyond to make sure he was happy, safe, and comfortable while we were away. She was extremely professional and reliable—always on time, communicative, and proactive. Kristin sent regular updates and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind. It was clear that Bruce wasn’t just being looked after; he was being loved. When we returned home, Bruce was relaxed, happy, and clearly well cared for. Kristin’s dedication, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals truly set her apart. We can’t recommend her highly enough—she’s our go-to from now on!

About: I love animals, i love nature. I’ve always been around animals, and i’ve lived with a dog and a cat for 4 years. I respect all living things, and i really enjoy taking care of them. I’m free most of the time. I walk and babysitt pets as often as i can. I’m pretty flexible so let me know what you need:) I cannot do any house boarding, but i can definitely babysitt your pet. I prefer over night stays because i use public transportation, so it’s easier if i can stay in one place but i definitely don’t require it. I’m pretty flexible so let me know exactly what you need and we can work together:)
