“Shelly is very good with our aggressive cat. She follows our directions and we feel comfortable leaving our pet in her care while we're away. I would definitely use her services again. Thank you Shelly.”
“Marella is so easy to work with, and truly cares for my pets. She was careful to complete all of my visit requests, and took her time to give each of them some quality time and lots of attention and love.”
“Caitlin was GREAT with my dog Oliver! She kept me updated on when she was arriving, sent a bunch of cute pictures, and gave me a full rundown of how the visit went. She made sure he was fed and got a potty break, some fun ball play, and it was clear she took great care of him. I feel really comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. We already have her scheduled again for multiple visits. I would absolutely recommend her!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my years of hands-on experience caring for pets in a home setting. I've been pet-sitting since high school, providing not just daily walks and care, but also overnight stays and home care, ensuring both pets and their homes are well looked after. I’m experienced in caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies who need extra playtime to senior dogs who require gentle care and patience. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I make sure to follow their schedule closely—whether it’s feeding, administering medications, or just giving them extra love and attention while their owners are away. Beyond pet care, I also respect and maintain the home by keeping it clean and secure, so clients can travel with peace of mind. I provide regular updates with photos and messages, so pet parents always feel connected. My goal is to ensure that your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for in your absence, and that you return to a happy, stress-free home! Now that I’ve graduated, I have a more flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time and energy to provide reliable, attentive pet care. I’m able to accommodate a wide range of needs, from midday check-ins to extended overnight stays. I follow your pet's usual schedule, including feeding, walks, playtime, and bedtime to minimize stress while you're away. I make sure your dog gets the right amount of exercise, whether that's a daily long walk or a short potty break. I spend quality time with your pet, giving them affection, playtime, and attention to prevent loneliness. For home care, I keep the house tidy, bring in mail, water plants, and ensure everything stays secure while you're away. I send daily updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and cared for.
About: I grew up in a family full of pet lovers and have been taking care of animals from a young age. I will play, snuggle and meet all of your pets needs while you are away. I will give your pet all the love and care they deserve! I currently work from home full time but have a flexible work schedule that allows me to be accommodating to different schedule. I am also free in the evenings and most weekends. I can feed, walk, crate, play and hangout with your pet as needed. I’m not afraid to clean up any messes or accidents while I am there either.
“Rebecca is WONDERFUL! She took care of our two cats while we were traveling recently and she really put our minds at ease. She stopped by to meet the cats before our trip so I could go through all the things with her. I highly recommend her and will be using her again in the future. Thank you, Rebecca!”

About: I’ve owned and taken care of animals my entire life that include a wide variety of medical needs to reactivity from puppies to seniors. Willing to provide the best care to your fur baby with daily photo updates. I am currently back in school and work remotely so I’ll be able to be as hands on with your pet as needed throughout the day I will follow all instructions and comfortable administrating medications from injections to pills. I also have experience with reactive large breed dogs as well as high energy working dogs. You can expect a a daily update with pictures.
About: I have owned a variety of animals my entire life, such as dogs, cats, and exotics. I am also a Veterinary Assistant so I have medical knowledge. I also went to a career school for Pre-Veterinary. I’m currently working part time at a Vet Clinic, so I have plenty of time for your pets! I am free all day Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I am free most days during the week with morning/afternoon availability. Some night availability on given days. I am no stranger to caring for pets, or for homes. I am willing to do even the dirtiest of work (yes, even litter boxes), to ensure you and your pet have a clean environment.
About: I’ve dog-sat (and house-sat) for friends for a while, and nothing brings me more joy than seeing happy dogs! I love taking them for long walks or runs, spending the day playing with them, and of course giving them plenty of hugs and pets! ❤️🐶 I’m currently working full-time, so during the week I’m available to go on short walks during lunch and make sure your dog is fed and can use the bathroom. I can spend time with them in the evenings as well, and I’m also available for house sitting to keep them company while you’re away! I don’t have any pets of my own at home, but I’ve had plenty of experience caring for pets of friends and family members. I like taking them for walks through neighborhoods or parks where they can meet other dogs or people and see new places!

Kaela w.
“Kaela watched two of my Dobies over several years and was amazing with them. They loved seeing her come and would get so excited to see her. One Dobie was a big baby and she catered to his every need for cuddles and affection. The other was a rescue and had a couple personality quirks that she was able to work around with zero issues. Both had health issues in later life that she was able to successfully work with (medicine, food prep, limited mobility, careful attention to change in breathing etc). She can manage walking large dogs with ease. They absolutely loved her and I am grateful for her services. She is amazing and I will use her again when I get to the point where I can get another animal (both are no longer here).”
