“Eden was so helpful while we traveled for a long trip. She was punctual and gave thoughtful updates with the sweetest photos. She balanced the needs of our almost 14 year old dog and puppy. I did not need to worry because I knew they were in great hands!”

“A friend that normally watches our dogs were out of town and our usual sitter was booked. We were in the process of moving and there was so much going on already with the added stress of moving. Julie was exactly what we needed. She took great care of our two dogs. We got photos and updates for every visit and she made us feel so much better by taking great care of our home and dogs. We would love to have Julie again any time.”

“Shin took great care of our kitty! She is a cat mom herself and know how to go the extra mile. She kept the litter clean and even disposed of it off site to keep our place smelling fresh. We received dsily pics our kitty assuring us she was doing well. I would recommend Shin to anyone who wants the very best care!”

“Logan did a great job watching our 2 cats. He followed our instructions to the “T”. The visit updates and pics were nice and descriptive; reassuring us things were going well. Came home to two very happy cats! Would highly recommend and will definitely book with him again.”

“Olivia was so amazing! Her communication was great, she took lots of pictures, and my cats loved her! She was also very attentive to detail and wanted to make sure she was there at the right times and did the right things! I definitely recommend having her watch over your fur babies!!”


“Abigail was absolutely amazing while caring for our dog, Prince! We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands during our time away. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. What really stood out was her consistent communication—she sent us regular updates, along with pictures and messages that gave us peace of mind and let us see how happy and well cared for Prince was. It made being away so much easier. Prince seemed comfortable, relaxed, and well-loved when we returned, which speaks volumes about the care Abigail provided. We are so grateful for her dedication and thoughtfulness. We would highly recommend Abigail to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter—we will definitely be booking her again!”

“Cristal went above and beyond repeatedly for my boys. I have two senior large breed dogs, and they’re a lot. One has ivdd and has eaten 90% of his tail and repeatedly tries to get to it to chew more off, as well as some GI issues right now and Cristal expressed so much concern and care for his wellbeing while I attended my brothers wedding. She did such a good job that my girlfriend was jealous that she was taking care of the dogs and not her haha, silly I know. But I could not recommend anyone more than I would Cristal. An exceptional human being and incredibly caring pet sitter.”

“Teresa took wonderful care of my three young cats! I appreciate her conscientiousness and my boys are happy and well cared for. I highly recommend her for pet care and would happily use her service again in the future. It was wonderful to have peace of mind for my pets and enjoy my vacation. Thank you!”

“Sara is the best! We always know our kitties are in capable and caring hands when they are in her care. We also appreciate how communicative and responsive she is to any needs that arise.”


About: From caring for beta fish and guinea pigs at a young age to looking after pit bulls and dogs of all sizes, I’ve loved caring for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I quickly became the neighborhood pet sitter, and even now as an adult, I’m often the person friends and neighbors call for walks, drop-ins, and reliable pet care. I provide attentive, dependable care and work to create a safe, comfortable, and loving experience for every pet I watch. Because I genuinely love animals and connect with them easily, I focus on giving pets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection while helping them feel relaxed and cared for while their owners are away. I also value communication and make sure owners feel informed and reassured through regular updates, photos, and messages. My experience with different breeds, sizes, and personalities has helped me build trust with both pets and their owners, ensuring every dog feels happy, safe, and well cared for. You can expect flexible scheduling and dependable care, with open availability on Fridays and remote workdays throughout the week that make me available for drop-ins, walks, and extra attention for your pets. I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for pets in my apartment, which has access to dog parks and nearby walking trails for exercise and playtime. I make sure pets stay on their normal routines as much as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, play, and plenty of attention and affection. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping them comfortable in their familiar environment while maintaining clear communication with owners through updates and photos. My priority is always making pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Sheyla is such a a sweetheart and was good to & with my baby, she even brought him a little gift. I had a last minute trip come up and she really came through for me. Would definitely recommend her. And I'm sure my little guy would be thrilled to see her again ✨”

“Andrea is wonderful! Even though hurt & having surgery right before her scheduled visits, she sent her husband, Ethan, to take care of Sammi. A big relief to me and Sammi liked him so much she let him pet her which NEVER happens!!! She & Ethan are the best to watch over my fur baby!!!”

About: My family has had dogs for 14 years and I've personally cared for my cat, Delilah, for 13 years. Throughout high school I regularly pet sat for family and friends, and today I'm the go-to sitter for my sister's cat and fish on an ongoing basis. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I take pride in making sure animals feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I work a flexible schedule from home, which means I have plenty of availability throughout the week for walks and drop-in visits. I can accommodate morning, midday, and afternoon visits on most days, and I'm available for house sitting when owners are traveling. I'm reliable, communicative, and will always confirm scheduling details in advance so you never have to worry. I provide care in your pet's own home, which means they get to stay in the environment they know and love, no stress of a new place. I'm attentive to each pet's individual routine, dietary needs, and personality. I have 13 years of experience caring for my own senior cat, so I'm especially comfortable with pets that require extra attention or gentle handling. I always send updates and photos so you feel connected even when you're away.
“Grayson was perfect during my time away. She took care of my big baby and made sure to send plenty of pics. My trip was last minute and she still made time for a meet and greet. Overall Grayson was very reliable and it seemed like Lilah enjoyed her very much!”

“Dennise was fantastic. She was incredibly understanding, communicative, and willing to go above and beyond to ensure my dog was properly cared for. She made an extra trip when needed, kept me informed every step of the way, and showed genuine care and professionalism throughout the entire experience. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate pet sitter.”


About: Hi! I am a dog lover turned helper. I love all dogs. I volunteer dog walking and assisting with dog training at my local shelters. I’m a dog mom to a senior Chihuahua mix. I work from home so I’m able to give your dog lots of attention and I live in a neighborhood so I’m able to walk your dogs with a dog park about 10 minutes away. I work full-time from home so I am able to pet and walk the dog pretty much whenever necessary. I personally take my old dog out every three hours. I have a senior Chihuahua so I can give your pet the same love and attention that I give my own dog. I live in a two-story house so there are stairs, but since my dog is on the older side, I carry my dog down the stairs, so I’m very accustomed to seeing your dogs as well

Jada took care of my 4 pets like they were her own. She went above and beyond to make sure they had company, and even stayed over a couple of nights a week so they could be loved up (of course as we agreed on). I 100% recommend her services! I will definitely be booking her again, I know I can trust not only my pets, but my home to her. Thanks Jada!
