Anna did a great job with my cat and dog! My dog is blind and she was extra caring towards her. Anna checked in with me often, and mentioned to me when she saw anything weird/concerning about my dog! Luckily it wasn’t anything (just a normal of my dog’s quirks) but i was really glad she reached out to be safe!

About: Since I was 12, I have been walking a plethora of dogs of varying breeds, ages, and weights, ranging from 15 pounds to 100 pounds. I have also watched many cats, varying in age from a few weeks to 18 years old. I can give medication in food, pill pockets, and pill poppers. My schedule is pretty wide open, as I am free most days from the hours of 9 - 5 to visit your animals and walk dogs! I am very friendly with animals and am pleased to have them in my care during walks and visits. Their safety is always my top concern.

After meeting Helena, I was very comfortable leaving Chewbacca in her care. I didn’t worry at all while I was gone, knowing he was in good hands. While he is cute and small, he has a big personality and isn’t always the easiest dog. She was communicative and sent daily updates. I wouldn’t hesitate to contact her again for help with Chewbacca.

Camryn was great. She was very communicative and we could tell she cared nicely for our two boys. She even noticed one of our boys had some itchy ears and offered to clean them out. Hopefully she is available next time we have to go out of town.

About: Every dog, cat, and critter gets my full attention, patience, and genuinely endless affection. Your pet will be in hands that actually care, not just someone checking a box. I pay keen attention to their needs, wait patiently for pets to trust me, and show up exactly when I say I will. I'm a law student heading into my second year of school and I have flexibility this summer for regular visits or last-minute help. I've spent years caring for dogs and cats for family, friends, and new clients and I'm comfortable with all kinds of personalities. I pay close attention to each animal's cues, take the time to build genuine trust, and am someone you can count on — on time, every time. While I don't have pets of my own right now, I'm surrounded by them constantly and there is honestly nowhere I'd rather be. My schedule is flexible. If it works for you, it works for me. Above all else, I believe communication and timeliness are everything. You'll always hear from me promptly, whether it is confirming a booking, giving an update mid-visit, or letting you know about anything unexpected. No guessing, no chasing me down, just reliable, responsive care you can count on. When I'm in your home, your pet's comfort and routine come first. I follow your instructions closely including feeding schedules, walking routes, any quirks or preferences because familiarity and consistency are what keep animals calm and happy in their parents absence. I treat every home with the same care and respect I'd want shown in my own, and I'm always in close communication so you're never left wondering how things are going. Further, I know that inviting someone new into your home and trusting them with your pets is a big deal, please be assured I'm direct, honest, and an open book.

Anna was extremely communicative and provided consistent updates while she watched my two pups during an out of town trip. I could tell through every photo and video she shared that the dogs were very well taken care of and comfortable. I would definitely book Anna again for future requests!

We hit the jackpot with Abigail as our house and dog sitter! She stayed at our home for 5 nights and handled our 3 quirky small dogs like an absolute pro, including our clingy puppy who wouldn’t let Abigail out of her sight! Since our dogs are used to someone working from home, having Abigail there with them was a total game changer. She kept us updated often, communicated about any issues that popped up, and sent the sweetest photos that made us smile (and relax!). This was our first time booking Abigail and we felt comfortable with her immediately upon meeting her just a few days prior to our trip. We came home to a happy house and 3 very well-loved dogs. Truly could not have asked for better care. We’d book her again in a heartbeat!

Savannah and Tillie are now besties! Savannah was amazing—she took great care of my Tillie Bean and my home. She sent regular updates, brought in packages as needed, and kept everything clean and well-maintained while I was away. I’ll definitely have her stay at my home and watch Tillie again in the future.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong cat lover who has grown up with family cats and has experience caring for cats of different personalities and needs. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each cat’s unique personality, whether they’re playful, shy, cuddly, or independent. I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy and attentive caring for your pet while you’re away, and I always aim to make cats feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment. From feeding and litter box care to playtime, treats, and plenty of affection, I’m happy to give your cat the care and attention they deserve. I love meeting new cats and spending time with them, and I’d be excited to care for yours!. I work full time but have an hour long break. I also have a reliable personal car so I can travel to homes during my lunch break, ensuring that pets are taken care of throughout the day I visit homes often and send updates and pictures to families, ensuring that everyone sees their fur baby often. Litter boxes and water bowls are cleaned daily. While home owners are away, I also make sure to bring in any mail and anything else that shows up during my stay.

This is our second time using Steven‘s pet sitting services, and we could not be happier. Steven goes above and beyond to make us feel like our two cats are in excellent hands while away. He is caring, kind, and always keeps us updated on how our cats are doing. With Steven, we know that our house and our cats are going to be well taken care of. We cannot recommend Steven enough to anyone who needs their house/pets looked after while away. You will not be disappointed!
