Danielle was great with Cat! She sent pictures and texted an update during her visit. I was happy to know Cat had such good company. I've already booked more time with Danielle and would highly recommend her care.

Lauren is a wonderful dog sitter! My sweet pup looked forward to her mid-day visits and she always kept me updated with how he was doing. She was prompt and efficient. She’s a great addition to any puppy care team!

Kaylynn was great with our pups! She watched them at our home while we were gone for a weekend and sent updates on how they were doing. Great care and communication! Definitely planning to use Kaylynn again.

Jessica did such a great job with Luci, who is not always the friendliest/most outgoing cat! She was extremely responsive, attentive, and spent quality time with Luci. and I appreciate it so much! Would not hesitate to book again.

20 years of experience

About: With 20+ years of dog ownership and over a decade of caring for cats, I bring calm, experienced, and compassionate care to every animal I meet. I’ve cared for puppies, seniors, and pets with medical needs—including administering meds and accommodating special diets. I treat each pet like family, giving them the attention, exercise, and comfort they need to thrive while you're away. Whether it's a quiet cuddle or an energizing trail walk, I tailor care to your pet's personality and needs. I start my mornings early and love getting walks in before it gets too hot. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine—I schedule walks, drop-ins, and check-ins around a calm, consistent home life. I’m outdoors every day, rain or shine, and caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, not just a task. Your pet’s needs will be met with patience, presence, and plenty of playtime. Whether in my home or yours, safety and comfort come first. I create a calm, dog-friendly environment—no crates unless requested, and always supervised play. I follow your pet’s routine closely, from feeding to walks to meds. I keep spaces clean, secure, and low-stress, and I always take time to build trust with your pet through gentle handling and positive interactions. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and notes so you can relax, knowing your pet is in good hands.

Jess watched our 3 dogs for a whole weekend and they loved her! She was very accommodating when I needed to change drop in times around and made sure to give my pups extra love since we extended our trip. We will definitely be hiring her again!

Johanna is a great care giver for our animals. She gives them personal and loving attention every time. They are so happy to see her each time. I'm not sure where we'd be or how our trips would be enjoyable without her. She allows us to have peace of mind knowing she's caring for them.

Hannah helped my little family out tremendously when she agreed to help with our diabetic cat, Jasper, last minute. She was quick to respond and detailed in her communication with us. Although our cat was difficult and afraid, she was still able to administer his insulin injection and make sure he ate food with it. This was thanks to her training and experience with scared animals.

Tyler is great! He was very professional and took Brewer on a long walk that drained all his energy. My puppy was much calmer that night as he got plenty of playtime in the afternoon. Due to work it can be difficult for me to spend a proper lunch break with my dog, so Tyler really helped in that regard. You can tell he loves animals and can connect with them on their level. I’d recommend others to book Tyler as well.

Leslie is great. She checked in on my dog while we were gone all day and our regular person was unavailable. She came out beforehand to meet us and I knew she would be great. She obviously has a lot of experience and is prompt and professional. She sent photos and reassurances that all was well. I would definitely use her again.

I highly recommend Jackie for pet sitting, walking, or drop-in visits! She is a lifelong animal lover (especially dogs, but not biased!) with an incredible ability to connect with and understand their needs. She has experience caring for puppies (including the ability to teach simple tricks!) and older senior dogs who may just need a comforting lap or companion. Growing up she taught me how best to care for animals by prioritizing their needs and exercising patience, compassion, and care. Whether hiking, playing ball, or simply providing comfort, she brings joy and energy to every pet she watches.
