“Deborah was lovely on an initial visit with my shy cat - she spoke warmly to our Ash, but didn't try to force contact, and let our shy girl wander off. Given Deborah's background and familiarity with shy cats, I feel very comfortable leaving our girl in her hands while we're out of town. I feel confident that Ash will warm up to her as Deborah visits, and feel comfortable that Deborah will be patient and present for our kitty in whatever form she needs.”
“Kate is the BEST! Idefix loved every second of hanging out and playing in the yard! I’m so glad she is flexible to come by for regular visits and playtime at our house! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Thank you, Kate!”
About: Lifelong dog person, I have cared for dozens of furry friends, mine and others. I currently have a 4 year old Shepherd Mix. Former PETCO employee and rescue volunteer I am currently working part-time and unavailable 2pm to 7pm Monday- Friday. There is some flexibility, so please ask about your specific timing needs. Thanks I will follow your instructions as well as your pet's needs, mood, and personality. I do my best to let your fur baby be comfortable and themselves.
“Leah was very responsible and caring for our dogs. Our young husky and elderly dog were both we loved while we were away! 10/10 would recommend! Leah clearly very capable of taking care of a wide range of needs. We loved getting the photo updates every visit.”
About: I've been happily caring for animals, big and small, since childhood. I've always been relied on for long-term dog sitting while neighbors were out of town. Friends of mine with exotic pets, or pets with special needs, also rely on me to take care of their animals while they are busy. Similarly, I have work experience at a doggy daycare and a puppy school for about half of a year each. Both of these businesses practiced positive reinforcement and gentle training strategies. My family's two sweet dogs taught me the value of ensuring that pets are clean, healthy, and fulfilled. It makes such a huge difference in everyone's lives! My schedule is very open currently. I am flexible for the majority of the week, but Sundays are my day off. I also have class Monday evenings, but it is remote, so it does not necessarily interfere with house sitting. When first meeting dogs, I work patiently and generously with them to ensure they are comfortable with my presence. Throughout my visit, I use positive reinforcement strategies to ensure dogs stay comfortable and happy with their environment while I am present.
“Kaylea did an excellent job for us with our three cats while we were away for three weeks. She kept in regular contact and we came home to find everything in great order. I highly recommend Kaylea and look forward to having her back again for future cat care.”
“We wrote to Mark about our pup Leo and he was immediately open to come meet us first to make sure it was a good fit and was a great communicator, answering all of our questions and us answering his! He even came a bit early when our pup was stressed being alone. I highly recommend him!”
“Jackie is the best! She loves my kitties and takes the time to get to know them. I feel at ease knowing they are being cared for by her. She is super responsive, professional and very knowledgeable about animal care. I also love the pics she send me while I am away.”

Shae M.
“Shae was so great with my dog! Very punctual and communicative, super glad to have her! Didn’t have to worry at all during my work day.”
David M.
“David comes to my home often to watch my two ferrets, Agnes and Mango. The level of care given is absolutely above and beyond. Mango is elderly and sick with multiple types of cancer and I often ask David to give Mango her medicine. Usually when I ask people to do this, they just give her medicine and leave the room, which is all I ever ask people to do. David gives Mango her medicine but also take both of the ferrets out of the pen to play with them and give them scratches, especially if I'm away on a trip and the girls need extra attention. David has a palpable love for animals and a passion for their wellbeing. I promise that if David watches your animal, they will not only be taken care of extraordinarily, but they will have a new best friend.”

Evelyn M.
“Evelyn watched my 14 year old Shih Tzu mix a few times. She was great about sending updates with pictures and communicating with me about his needs. I would definitely recommend her supervision of your pets anyday!”
Coryn B.
“Coryn was one of the best dog sitters I’ve had so far. She was always on time and so good with my two dogs and three cats, who are no easy clan to deal with. I am very picky with who I let watch them because they have specific feeding and care instructions, she followed all of them well and devoted a lot of time to their care. I can tell she is an animal lover and really cares about their well being. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone.”
