“Booked Tricia for the first time and she did amazing! Treated all 4 of our cats like her own: playing, talking, brushing, and interacting with them all. Will definitely be booking again!”
“My provided great care of our two cats and came in on time each visit. She left notes on how they were doing along with photos. She cleaned up any messes the cats left and took out the litter…extremely nice surprise when we arrived home!”
About: Over 20 years as a dog owner. I'm semi-retired. I've been watching friends' and friends of friends' pets for years. I've been the only house/dog sitter for a pair of Dalmatians for the last 5 years. I've handled puppies that are still working on becoming housebroken as well as senior dogs that need regular medication and extra care. I do in-home tech support/ IT work. When a customer's animals have warmed up to me, I've been asked if I did pet sitting as well. It feels good when the pet picks you. My working schedule is very flexible, I'm usuably able to adjust it to make sure I'm available to see to your pet's needs. If I commit to caring for your critters they will be my scheduling priority. I don't have pets in my own home. When house/pet sitting, besides feeding, walking and picking up after the pets I'm capable of handling household issues that might come up.
About: I have been taking care of pets for over six years. I have cared for fish, cats, and dogs. I have a big dog myself so large dogs do not scare me. I am great with animals and am more than willing to do house sitting, day time check ins, walking, bathing, etc.! I am about to graduate from school so I will be home all the time and will be able to stop by for house visits or to hang out with pets all day. Though for things like walking dogs would prefer to do that in the morning in order to beat the heat! I have a large fenced in yard with one dog to keep others company. My dog is crate trained and is non aggressive. In the house there is no chemicals or other harmful substances that pets could access. Additionally most cabinets and such are baby proofed so cats or other small pets would not be able to get in or trapped.
“We had such a great experience with Deborah! From the start, it was clear she really gets German Shepherds—and Maple absolutely loved her. You can tell from the photos that Maple was happy, well cared for, and had clearly been running around getting all her wiggles out. It’s wonderful to find someone who connects so naturally with our baby girl. So grateful to have found Deborah and already looking forward to our next visit!”
“Wendy was able to provide care for our 2 dogs and 1 shy cat in our home recently. We are grateful for her diligent work with our fur babies! I won't be worried about them on our next vacation, because I know Wendy will be caring for them as we would. Thank you, Wendy!”
“Excellent sitter. Very responsive and follows directions. Very helpful with helping to watch my cats and making sure everything was taken care of while I was away. Will definitely be requesting Stasha’s help in the future.”
“Tracey is 100% trustworthy and professional. Not only did my pets respond very well to her, she took notes and made sure everything was perfect. We will certainly be going to her as our first option!”

“Courtney was fantastic with Eaton! He's a grumpy old man with Cushing's disease and she made sure he was fed, watered, and medicated. Most importantly she went above and beyond in taking him on interesting walks so that he didn't turn into a lump of boredom while we were gone!”

Trish is the perfect combination of professional, dependable and trustworthy, as well as affectionate with our cats who enjoy bonding with her and trust her. It's so reassuring to receive pics of them playing and happy during her visits while we're away. They love Trish and so do we!
