Jessica has been so great with Phil! He needs to stretch his legs during our longer work days and Jess has been wonderful! She has given us the peace of mind as we transition to working out of the home full time!

My kitty and I loved Anne! She made us feel comfortable by planning a meeting to get to know each other before I left on a long trip! Anne was considerate, always sent me photos of my cat, and gave me daily updates! Next time I am out of town I will definitely be using Anne again! Thank you so much!

About: I have cared for animals since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have asked me to petsit, walk, bath and help care for their animals. I can care for puppies/kittens to seniors and everyone in-between. I rely on positive reinforcement for training. I can administer medications, trim nails and other care required. I have worked as a Vet Tech and currently I am in school to become a certified Vet Tech. I am currently in school with mostly online classes so I can seamlessly accommodate your pets care. I will send daily updates and/or photos if requested. I care for your pets from the comfort of your home giving you piece of mind while traveling while your pet will be less stressed.

About: I’ve been taking care of neighbors’, friends’, and families’ pets since high school. I have experience in both daily care (including feeding, walking, playing, and bathing) and overnight care. I love all dogs, big or small, and also have more recent experience with cats. I am comfortable with young dogs as well as old dogs, including administering medications. My love for animals makes pet care one of my favorite experiences! I am currently home for the summer from college and have a pretty flexible schedule. Most weekdays I work for a few hours in the evening (usually around 4-8pm) but have a relatively open schedule otherwise for both weekdays and weekends. My daily experience with pets through my own pet ownership and through nannying families with their own pets ensures that I have the experience needed to meet the needs of all pets throughout the day. I can easily work around a pet’s schedule and prioritize the pet’s needs. I also have a car if any transportation is needed.

About: Hi! I’m a dedicated pet lover, experienced cat and dog owner, and reliable sitter who genuinely enjoys caring for animals and making them feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. I have experience caring for multiple cats and a dog with varying personalities and understand how important routine, patience, and attention to detail are when it comes to pet care. I’m happy to provide feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, medication administration if needed, and regular photo updates for peace of mind. Outside of pet care, I work in customer service focused roles that require responsibility, communication, organization, and staying calm under pressure which all translate well to pet sitting. I’m also very active and enjoy dog walking as a way to stay outdoors and moving. As a pet mom myself, I know how important trust is when someone is caring for your pets and home, and I strive to provide dependable, attentive care for every animal I work with! I currently work an 8-5 in-office job but am always up early for a drop in or a walk before work, or afterwards for a play session or drop in! Weekends are usually wide open for me and I would love to spend a portion of them providing care and love to pets missing their owners. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine as best I can and creating a calm, comfortable experience while their owners are away. I carefully follow feeding schedules, exercise and enrichment needs, medication instructions, and any household preferences provided by the owner. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I adjust my approach accordingly—whether that means active playtime, long walks, or simply providing a quiet and reassuring presence. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own, with a focus on safety, reliability, and attentive care.

Daisy took such great care of my two cats! She was super punctual and consistent checking in on them each morning and I could tell by the playful photos that they enjoyed her company! It’s so nice to have someone you can trust look after your fur family when you’re away, Daisy is that person!

About: Update: 1. We just bought a kiddie pool for dogs! If your pet gets over heated in the summer and enjoys water time, they can enjoy the dog pool in our backyard. (: 2. We are booked for the rest of June. Currently we are accepting bookings for mid July onwards. Thank you! (: We have a massive fenced in backyard for dogs and playtime for cats will be indoors. For dogs, we're happy to give them 4 walks a day and lots of playtime and fetch in the fenced-in backyard. For cats- we have a huge bay window overlooking a bird feeder so cats can soak in the sun and spend their time watching the birdies. We do not put any fur babies in crates. This is not our full time job nor income, we're doing this because we love animals and with having cats of our own we understand how stressful it can be to find the right care while going on vacations/work trips. So at our home, your pet will feel like its their vacation time! They'll have plenty of indoor and outdoor space to run around and be happy and comfortable! We also do not accept more than 1 booking at a time. 2 dogs from the same family are welcome but we don't accept multiple bookings from different households at the same time. We do not want our home to feel crowded and we do not want the dogs and cats to feel overwhelmed so you can always be assured that our house will feel like a mini stress free vacation for your pets! (: We will need you to provide everything your pet will need for their stay including food bowl, water bowl, toys/treats, food and most importantly- medications if needed. For Doggy day care: if we are doing doggy day care, we will only be taking one dog at a time, or 2 dogs from the same family. We want to ensure that the pet has a fun time while away from their fav human for a few hours, and simultaneously we want to have stress free work days (: Thank you! (: We work from home so we are available for walks, and playtime in the fenced-in backyard. We also love dogs and cats so they're welcome to join us in our bed for all naps! We have two cats of our own but they will have no interaction with your dog/cat; when we are sitting your pets our cats will be in the basement (which is their fav place in the house anyway). If you're reaching out to us about cat sitting, please also ensure that you're willing to provide litter.

I’ve booked with Melody countless times now and my cats seem to have taken a liking to her. I really appreciate that she is always punctual even with a 7am drop in. She is very great at communicating throughout her visits even though I may not be available to answer right away. I’m always grateful that she is usually available for my last minute trips. I highly recommended and I will be booking with her in the future.

Jessica gives my cat Kevin so much love and attention when I am gone! Kevin gets really lonely by himself and needs a lot of interactive play and Jessica makes sure he gets lots of play time and pets :) She leaves great updates to help me see how he's doing and she takes the cutest pictures!

Jessica was a fabulous caretaker of my frail CKD kitty. She followed all of my instructions to a "T" and shared daily updates and photos of Max Kitty. Sadly, Max has since passed away. I'm comforted knowing that Jessica provided such tender care near the end of Max's life when I had to leave town on short notice. I'd definitely recommend Jessica to care for any pet.

Hannah is AH-MAZ-ING!! I had to go out of the country for two weeks and my biggest concern was my precious cat Bella and my two big, beautiful goldfish. When Hannah and I first met I expressed my anxiety about my trip and her immediate response was, "How can I help you?" I was immediately relaxed by her sincerity, we had a nice conversation, and she asked great questions. I felt that Hannah was the just the right pet sitter and it gave me true peace of mind. She was indeed great, Bella quickly warmed up to her, particularly loving the daily brushing Hannah gave her. Hannah even noticed one of my goldfish not acting himself and reached out to me right away. From our communications she tested the water, found the issue, and was able to treat it. My goldfish rebounded quickly. I'm so grateful that she was so observant! I will definitely request her pet care services when I travel again. I couldn't ask for a more reliable sitter for my pets.
