“Christiana did a great job with Buddy and Dora! I appreciate the pictures she sent and came home to happy kitties 😻”
“I absolutely loved having Marissa take care of my cats over the holidays! You can tell she loves animals & is very good with them. She even got my cat toys on Christmas morning, literally made my whole Christmas since I couldn’t be with them!”
“Another great visit from Alysia! She was flexible with switching days around due to my mistake of looking at my work schedule. I am so happy to have found her and trust her completely with Sherlock!”
“Heather treated my two kitties with great care and took crew of their every need! I will absolutely be using her professional services again in the near future!”
“Paul is very good with my elderly cat. I loved the pictures and the updates! I was able to relax while away knowing that Maynard was in good hands with Paul! I've already got Paul engaged for my next trip!”
“Maria was amazing! I’ve never booked a stranger to come into my home while I’m gone on the internet! I was super nervous. Maria was willing to meet me ahead of time in a public place. We talked for nearly 4 hours between the coffee shop and my home! She’s a sweet person who genuinely feels a calling to care for animals of all kinds. I have two cats. She was with them for three days and she stayed well past when she was supposed to leave. She was trying to connect with my shy kitty, who she had posted a picture of him eating out of her hand by day 2! She was very thoughtful making sure to dispose of cans from food and litter in the right place. Maria made such a difference! When I returned home they acted as though I had only been gone for a couple of hours. Maria is worth ever penny and then some! I’ll never go with anyone else. Thank you Maria for putting my mind at ease and taking such good care of my kitties!!”

About: Hello! I’m Adrianne, a dedicated and experienced pet sitter with a deep love for all animals. With years of experience in fostering both cats and dogs—especially kittens and puppies—I understand how important it is to ensure your furry friends feel safe, loved, and cared for while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’ll keep you updated with pictures, messages, and daily check-ins, so you always feel connected and at ease while you’re away. Whether it's a simple walk, a weekend stay, or a 10 day vacation, I’m here to offer your pet a loving, reliable, and attentive experience. Please Note: During July and August, my dog may accompany me on pet sitting assignments. She is an 11-year-old schnauzer mix who is fully potty trained, non-destructive, and well-mannered. She typically gets along best with smaller dogs. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I work remotely, so I’m available to care for your pet throughout most hours of the day, ensuring they get all the attention they need! If I leave the house it is usually no more than 5 or 6 hours at a time. For the comfort and well-being of both your pet and myself, I can only offer pet sitting services in your home if it is smoke-free and has a reliable internet connection. Thank you for your understanding!

“Halle is amazing with animals. She has been to our home several times to care for not only our Dog Bandit but we have 2 cats as well so it was ideal to have someone stay with them all in our home when we left for several days. We were so impressed with how much she actually did with Bandit. Her interaction with him walking, playing, and just spending time with him was evident. She would send us messages and pictures that allowed our family to enjoy vacations stress free. Halle is responsible, friendly, and her love for animals is a joy to witness. I would highly recommend her and anyone who gets the privilege to work with her will not be disappointed.”
