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!

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.

Anne gave us detailed Check ins everyday that we were away. She played with our cat, kept his habits going and made sure he stayed comfortable. When we got back, he looked as happy as ever and he's now requesting more brushing time as it's what he's gotten everyday for the past week!

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.

Olivia is the absolute best! We were scrambling to find someone after our old dog sitter moved and she is always so patient with our big guy who can sometimes have stranger danger. I would whole heartedly recommend her to anyone that is needing some help with their pup!

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.

Kolleen was so helpful to do drop-ins for a few days while we were away and our primary dog watcher was at work during the day. As a beagle owner she understood our crazy beagles very well and I could tell they were excited to see her each day from the photos she sent! She made sure to capture their cutest angles too! I would absolutely trust her again with our dogs for boarding or a drop in visit!

About: I have almost two decades of dog care under my belt, and have owned and cared for dogs of many sizes, ages, breeds, and temperaments. I love getting to know your dog and what makes them uniquely lovable! I currently work from home and have some morning availability (before noon) and evening availability (after 7pm) during the week. I am available occasionally on the weekends. I work with you and whatever your dog is comfortable with. If your dog prefers pets and cuddles I will gladly oblige. If they are not the affectionate type and are just more interested in food and potty breaks, I can work with that too.

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.

Peggy went above and beyond on taking care of my new 2 month old puppy, Coco. Coco is very needy and needs extra attentionand Peggy was able to use her experience as a dog owner to help with Coco. She also was willing to go and pick up the keys from work which I appreciated a lot as I live in an apartment. I will definitely recommend her! She’s super nice!

Kiah was just wonderful with my 5 month old puppy who has a major separation anxiety. She was very sweet and patient going on walks with him and playing with his toys as well as calming him down and making sure he is not nervous that I was gone for a few hours. I highly recommend Kiah! She is very nice and responsible, and great with the dogs :)

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.
