“We're grateful we found Stephen! He came to our hotel to pet sit, putting our dog immediately at ease. By the time we got back, they were best buds. Highly, 100% recommend.”


“This was my first time booking Leann for house sitting while we were on vacation, and I am so glad that we did. My little girl, Lilah, loved her. Lilah became Leann’s shadow, following her around, sitting next to her on the couch, and sleeping next to her at night. Leann took her out for plenty of walks and spent a lot of time throwing the ball to her in the backyard. Leann provided daily updates and pictures. She cleaned up all of Lilah’s dishes, and my house was cleaner then when I left (my dog is a shedder and her hair every where). The biggest surprise was that Leann had taken photos of Lilah and had them printed so I have so many cute photos of Lilah to put into frames. I cannot tell you how much I appreciated the care and love that she gave to Lilah while we were on vacation. It is nice to go away and know that your furbaby is being well cared for.”


“Zania did a wonderful job house/dogsitting for us! She is clearly very experienced with pets, and sent nice photos and updates while we were away! I highly recommend her!”


About: Hi my name is Katrina, or Kat for short. I truly have a passion and heart for animals!

I was a pet sylist for 15 year with my own shop but had to retire due to injuries and health. I have a lot of experience, patience and care with many types of dogs and animals. I did schooling for dog psychology and training methods and continue to further my education. I also have two dogs, a westie and a pittie rescue mix, three cats and several reptiles so i'm always surrounded by animals which I love! I do also have experience with rescue work, raising bottle fed kittens. ♡ I have studied dog behavior and believe in using positive reinforcements and redirecting. I am able to do short training sessions focused on mental stimulation. If you have topples or puzzle toys i can provide your pup with that as well. ♡ I am cpr trained and am able to give medication. ♡ I will meet your dogs needs wether it be mental stimulation with fun games, a short walk or just hanging out together. ♡ I will provide photos as well updates if requested ♡ I will refresh water bowls, do feedings, take out for potty time or scoop litter. ♡ I will respect your home, time and privacy and provide your pet(s) with the utmost care and attention.

“My dog decided to be difficult the day that Kathleen was pet sitting for us. She would not let her leash her, but Kathleen was consistent and gained her trust and was eventually able to leash her. Kathleen was wonderful with my dogs and I would highly recommend her.”


“Deborah watched our girls NYE. She was very responsive and provided a good number of updates. Highly recommend her, we know we will definitely use her for any future sitting needs!”


“Braxton did an excellent job taking care of our fur kids and communicated with us in a timely fashion when we would check in on things as this was our first time leaving them with someone new.”


“Serena was so kind and patient with our dogs. On the initial meet, she really took the time to earn the trust of our corgi who is protective and fearful submissive. She was loving to our old dog who has trouble getting around. We received many updates from her and could tell the dogs were very comfortable with her and well cared for. She’s also prompt in communication and very friendly. Would highly recommend Serena to anyone with furry ones!”


“Marlena stayed at our house for a week watching our 2 dogs and 2 cats. I couldn't be happier with her service and professionalism. It's exciting to discover a sitter you can trust and that your animals love! While they were happy to see us come home - our furs really missed Marlena when she left.”

“Barbara is a natural! I have a hesitant, scared of a lot of things dog and he warmed up to her in no time. She was wonderful with both my doggies. I’m a worrier, but felt good leaving my dogs in her hands. She is responsible and communicative and takes good care to follow whatever regimen/schedule you ask her to. We came home to very calm and happy dogs. So happy to have found her!”


About: I care for our special needs Chug (Chihuahua/Pug mix) named Briggs who has anxiety, so I’m very attuned to a pet’s body language and emotional needs.

To me, pets are family, and I’ll treat yours with the same patience, care, and affection I give my own. After retiring from a 26-year career, I’m now happily focusing on my passion: pet sitting and animal care.

“Rachel was courteous, professional, prompt, provided updates, adorable photos and truly gave us peace of mind as she took care of our needy pup. She gave medication, prepared meals for our finicky one, understood her needs and gave her lots of attention. When she could tell our dog wasn’t quite the same, she reached out to see what she could try to offer comfort. We have been blessed to use Rachel before and know we will reach out again! With our appreciation and thanks for going above and beyond!”
