I would love to have Larissa watch my two cats for me again! Very respectful and trustworthy. She sent daily updates and pictures which I greatly appreciated. It’s nice being away and knowing my pets and home are well cared for.

Mary-Kate is awesome! She was very communicative and sent us updates and pictures of our two golden retrievers several times a day. We came home to very happy pups and a very clean house. We highly recommend Mary-Kate and will be having her stay with our dogs again.

Repeat customer, Stephanie (Net) is the best and goes above and beyond. We have a bunch of pets including a senior dog and a high energy middle age pup (cats, a lizard, oh my!) and she’s great with everyone. Highly recommend!

When my usual pet sitter was out of town recently and I needed someone pretty last minute, I frantically started looking for someone to come for my dog and cat’s first in-home overnight stay. Libby was SO sweet, accommodating and patient with me, and immediately seemed to have a connection with my fur babies. She was prompt and courteous, and kept in touch during the stay including pictures. I’ll absolutely be calling Libby again!

About: Hi, I am a mature and experienced pet owner. I grew up with dogs, cats, and horses, and loved my own dogs (Rottweiler, Boxers, Jack Russell and Frenchton) while raising my children. I am unfortunately not able to have my own pets due to where I live. I have traveled for work, sporting events and vacations and know the stress of finding care for my pets where they will feel loved and be well taken care of. I want to offer peace of mind to others when they cannot take their furry family members with them when traveling. I am a self-employed photographer so I will be able to treat you pet like my own. I will be there in the morning, evening and throughout the day. I can bring my work supplies to you home to work so the only time I will be away for work is for a shoot. I know my appointments in advance and will be able to share the schedule with you to ensure it meets your needs. I am unable to care for pets in my home. When caring for your pet in your home I will follow the instructions you provide. I enjoy playing and hanging out with cats and dogs but also know not all cats and dogs are the same. Through conversation with you I will learn how best to interact with your pet to ensure there is a great experience for all. As a photographer I unfortunately do not have pictures of myself with my pets as I am always on the other side of the camera.

About: I have been caring for animals since I was a child. I started small with hamster and fish, eventually teaching myself to care for larger species through rigorous online teachings and experience. I work part time so that I can spend as much time working with and caring for animals as possible. Ideally taking care of at least 3 pets a day would be best case for me. I do not have the ability to care for pets in my home but I do have the knowledge and experience to crate fur babies when needed without causing them distress. I am familiar with getting animals of all domestic sizes into a state of calm for walks or sleep time or even cuddles after a long day of missing their folks.

Amanda is the best dog sitter I have ever had! She was so attentive to all of my dog's needs and respectful of his quirks and daily schedule. She kept me fully updated every day I was gone and sent lots of cute pictures and videos - I felt like I didn't have to worry about a thing because I knew my fur baby was in loving and capable hands. I recommend Amanda 100%!!!

Loren was wonderful! I would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs! I went away for a week and had never left my dog with anyone other than family before. I was a little anxious about it. Loren knew this and was very kind and compassionate. She took amazing care of my fur baby and I can't thank  her enough! Loren went above and beyond what I was looking for and I will absolutely use her services again.

Nicole is one amazing cat sitter......in fact Dulcie (our cat) calls Nicole her own, very wonderful house guest!!! Dulcie is almost 14 years old and pretty set in her ways. During COVID and after we have not gone away for more than 2 nights (and rarely). But.......now......our daughter was getting married. We made plans to leave for 5 days and we were worried. Nicole told me not to worry and she was absolutely right! She handled the pill-giving, the fussy eating, and the late night meows with lots of brushing (a favorite activity of Dulcie's) kitty talk and kitty kisses. And Nicole always got back to us with photos and stories about what was going on with Dulcie! I recommend Nicole 100%! Absolutely! Nicole is a gem! And I want to add that she also took beautiful care of our apartment! She is amazing!

About: I’ve taken care of my neighbor’s dogs for many years. I make sure to walk them every day with a balanced meal. I will bathe your dog if requested or as needed. I’m a recent college graduate so I’m available most of the week. I’m ready to devote myself to giving care to animals and I love spending time with them. I live in an apartment with my partner and our two cats so, I’ll only be able to provide services at the client’s house. I will take the dog on leash if there is no fence. I have worked in animal clinic in the kennel so I experience with crating dogs at night. I additionally love spending time with cats and will play with them. I like to meet cats where they are at and not push their boundaries.

Rachelle is the best! She is super flexible and offered to stay another night due to our plane being super delayed. Thankfully we got home at 2 am but I know I could count on her being there for our pup if it ended up being canceled. Highly recommend Rachelle!
