“It was a great experience working with Marta. She was professional, communicative and able to manage our unique situation with ease. When we returned from our trip we found the cats to be happy and well taken care of. We are so happy and relieved to know that we have someone who we can count on to take care of our cats when we have to be away. We will definately be booking Marta for all of our future trips. Thanks so much!”


“Tara is our one and only trusted cat sitter. We have a few senior cats, one of whom has medical issues and is on medications, so we don’t just trust them with anyone. Tara takes such good care of them, making sure they eat, and take the meds. She also provides updates and photos and reaches out if she has any questions which we really appreciate! We are so grateful and will continue to use her excellent services in the future 💜”


“Elena was absolutely incredible!! We have a very shy cat, but she immediately gravitated towards Elena! Elena was so calming and truly learned what both of our cats needed in order to give them the best care. She was able to give our other cat his pill, and did a great job! I would highly recommend hiring her for your fur babies!”


About: I have grown up having a dog. My dog is now 18 years old (I know!) Friends and family know me as an animal lover. I will treat your pets as if they were my own! I’m currently home full time which gives me the opportunity to care for your pets around the clock! I welcome pets into my home or can come to yours! I am open to boarding pets in our home if you would prefer! We have a large fenced in back yard for them to get exercise. I can also come to your home to care for them as well!

“During the meet and greet Marilyn took the time to let our cat check her out. She was very gentle and caring. We felt comfortable with her and could see that our cat did, too. While we were away, Marilyn was responsive and very easy to communicate with. She showed up at the designated times and catered to our cat’s special preferences and needs. We could tell from the photos Marilyn sent that our cat was comfortable and being well cared for. We would definitely choose Marilyn again for future pet sitting needs.”


“Andrew took great care of my 2 cats while I was away for a week ...very responsible ...reliable and gave my cats the attention and care that I give...will definitely use him again!...thanks Andrew!!”

“Marshall is so polite, a wonderful listener and very thorough; thoughtfully asks important questions and clearly cares about my cat's welfare, which provides me peace of mind and comfort when traveling/being away from my pet, knowing she is in great, capable hands.”


“Hannah is absolutely amazing! She took exceptional care of my two dogs, Max and Romeo, and they both adored her from the moment she walked in. Her kindness and warmth were immediately evident, and I could see how comfortable my dogs felt around her. Hannah went above and beyond to ensure they were happy, and received plenty of attention and playtime. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals, and her gentle approach made such a positive impact. I couldn’t have asked for a more caring and responsible pet sitter. Highly recommend Hannah for anyone looking for someone who will treat their pets like family!”


“Cindy is a lovely cat sitter. I have two older cats, and one of them needs diabetic injections. She was great in administering meds, keeping in touch, and sending photos. Highly recommend. Ten stars.”


About: Hi! My name is Donna, and have loved and cared for dogs ever since I was a kid. I'm comfortable with all dogs, no matter the size or age. From dogs as small as Yorkies, to as big as German Shepherds and Pitbulls. I'm also comfortable and willing to take care of puppies from as young as 8 weeks to above. I used to work at an animal shelter, and was trained basic dog behavior and enrichments that can help stimulate your dog. During my spare time I will volunteer at animal shelters just to help dogs with getting their exercise for the day. Nothing is better than being able to spend time with a dog! I can't wait to meet your best friend :) *I also pet sit cats as well!! if your feline friend needs to be taken care of, I would be more than happy to do so!!* I work remotely and have the availability to drop in on your furry friend when need be, or taking them out for a stimulating walk. I will always make sure that your dog is at their utmost safest when in my care. By making sure their leash/harness/collar is placed well, to always keeping an eye out environmentally wise so their walks are always safe.


“Jennifer was incredibly nice, responsible, and it was clear she treated our cats like she would her own pets! We were lucky to have her care for them while we were away!”


About: We have had many dogs. Right now we have our Max. He is a sweet, 10 year old pit mix. Recently, we adopted a foster kitten. His name is Flash and he is a wonderful addition to our family. We care for many other dogs of friends and family members when they are out of town. There is a ton of love to go around in our home. We treat our pets as a part of our family. We are always around on the weekends. We could do a weeknight, but pick up would have to be by 7am. I am a teacher so I will be home during most school breaks and in the summer. We have a fenced in back yard. Our dog comes in and out during the day for the bathroom or just to check things out. Our side door goes right out to a deck and has stairs to the lower yard. We take our dog for two walks twice a day, so we will walk your little ones with ours. We are cuddlers and read, watch movies, etc. with Max.
