“CK was great with my dog and cat, and very communicative! He was even able to come back and check on the animals later than planned when we were delayed coming home. Would definitely book again!”


“This is my second time using Sydney for pet sitting. She puts so much car into watching the animals she’s charged with. She does a wonderful job with my anxious dog and very shy cats. I trust her to take good care of my home as well. Looking forward to continuing to use Sydney in the future!”



“Natalie tackled the task of watching our 5 animals in our home while we were on vacation. I’m a bit of a nervous wreck when it comes to our fur babies but I fully trust Natalie and can tell she absolutely loves animals! She did a wonderful job and we will absolutely be rebooking her for our next trip!”


“We loved having Brooke over to watch our Junie, you can tell they were good friends right away. We appreciated the photos and updates throughout the day and we came home to a happy and well cared for pup. Would recommend Brooke and we definitely hope to book with them again in the future!”


“There are not enough words to explain how amazing and truly incredible Heather is!!! We have 4 dogs with 4 different personalities and needs. It was instant love for her by them! It would be your dogs loss if you don’t use her services! She’s an amazing person and true dog lover!”


“Mariah was awesome! From the moment she met our dog I knew she would be a good fit—Stella was at ease and loved her. You could tell from the pictures she sent that Stella and the cats were happy and comfortable and that she was taking great care of them. 10/10 would definitely book again!”


“Maddi was awesome to have watch our senior pups! She was so thorough and kind and I felt very quickly at ease with our dogs in her care. Would highly recommend anyone considering care for their fur babes to book with her and I personally hope to have her again with our pups the next time we need a sitter!”


About: Because I’m in medical school I have a unique perspective on pet care in the sense that I am calm, thorough, and empathetic! I also have a dog of my own with medical needs so I am equipped to care for any pet. I’ve had large dogs, small, dogs, cats, and fish all my life and I would love to help care for your pets too:) I’m currently in medical school so my schedule varies during the weekdays (which I will frequently update) but I can come swing by to take on walks, check-ins, or house-sit. I have most weekends free as well. I am experienced in caring for food aggressive pets, dog-aggressive pets, as well as medically needy pets. I can take large dogs 100+ lbs on leashed walks as well as play in yards with them. I love animals and I know how to keep everyone safe and happy:)

“Sydney did an AMAZING job watching our dogs. We have one reactive dog and there was some tension in our house between dogs, plus two have medical needs. so I was so so nervous to leave them. Sydney followed all my instructions and she even watched for signs of tension, healthy play, etc. Truly above and beyond—she spent a ton of time at my house and I came back to very happy dogs. Would definitely recommend her to folks like me with dogs that require a sitter who pays extra attention and care!”

“Sent pictures, followed instructions, my animals and my house have little particulars that she listened to well, too! My house was clean, animals were well taken care of and happy when I got back ❤️ Would recommend Cayla and will use again! Thanks again.”


About: I am an experienced cat professional who exclusively cares for cats! Here's what sets me apart and what you can expect when you book me: I prioritize reliable communication! You'll receive daily updates with photos and videos showing your cat playing, relaxing, and thriving. I carefully observe and report any changes in appetite, behavior, litter box habits, etc to keep you fully informed. I speak fluent "cat”! I understand feline body language and tail communication. Having trained my own cat to do tricks for years (ask for a video!), I'm tuned into what motivates cats and gives them purpose. I personalize care for your cat! Before our first visit, I'll ask questions about your cat's unique personality, preferences, and quirks, as well as your specific approach to feeding, litter, and other routines. I offer specialized services! Beyond standard care, I can brush teeth and groom coats based on your cat's comfort level. For food-motivated cats on scheduled feeding without extra food available to them, I can introduce clicker training and tricks to add mental stimulation. I keep your cat active and engaged! To me, play is essential for feline health! I bring a variety of toys and dedicate real time to interactive play. Your cat will get genuine attention, not just a quick check-in. With a flexible work schedule, I'm available 7 days a week—including weekdays, weekends, and holidays—and can accommodate multiple daily visits or last-minute bookings. My adaptable schedule means I can provide consistent care whenever you need it, whether for regular visits, extended trips, or unexpected emergencies. I maintain a clean, safe environment by thoroughly checking feeding areas, scooping litter boxes, and refreshing water while actively engaging your cat with enrichment toys and play. I'm trained in specialized care like teeth brushing and grooming (which I do routinely for my own cat), and I carefully monitor and document your cat's behavior, appetite, and habits to keep you fully informed.

“Maura was great- very communicative and sent lots of photos of my dog, Bentley which I appreciated it! I look forward to working with Maura more in the future!”


“Regan is great! She was super communicative and made sure all was well with our senior diabetic cat who needs shots twice a day and our hyper young cattle dog. Very grateful for her!”


“David was a great sitter for our two cats. He stayed the weekend and the cats were well cared for and our house was in perfect condition when we came home. He sent us pics and updates while we were away which were appreciated. Would totally recommend David to other people looking for a caring and attentive pet sitter!”


About: I was born into a family with a dog and have had a dog in my life ever since! Now I have a 7 year old pittie mix who is my whole world. I trained her and continue to do so to help her acquire new skills or just for mental stimulation. While I was a late-in-life cat lover, I now have 2 cats of my own who i cant imagine life without. Over the years I’ve had many friends, family, and coworkers trust me with their fur babies whether it was for a single walk, a feeding and play time, or stay overs while they were gone. I even have experience administering medicine to special needs animals. I have a flexible schedule and can adapt to your needs. Usually I am free in the mornings and afternoons. Evenings are tougher for me, but we can make something work! I will always want to do a meet and greet before caring for your animal whether I’m providing a walk or a staying with your fur baby over night. I want to make sure I’m the best fit and that you feel comfortable with your pet in my hands. I will defer to you in terms of safety and care (beyond the basics) as you know your pet best. As I get to know your pet, I’ll understand their preferences and triggers which will allow me to provide them with the best care.

“Traisaun is great. We have 4 active cuddly animals and even when we come home they will go and see if Traisaun is still here! He clearly treats your pets the way you would treat them (and sometimes even better because he puts up with more antics than I do!)”


“Darra, as usual, was amazing! We let her know last minute that our car had just been diagnosed as diabetic and she made an extra trip to meet with us and learn how to give his injections and was so easy to work with and flexible. Highly recommend!”

Cindy L.
“Cindy took care of our two cats when we traveled and she was amazing! From the first moment, I felt like she’s a great fit to take care of Oliver and Louie. Both of them loved her immediately! Cindy made sure to ask all the important questions on our meet and greet and payed attention to detail. Knowing our cats would be in great hands made our trip so much more enjoyable. Besides fulfilling their basic needs, she went above and beyond, by spending extra time with them, playing with them, cleaning up after them, teaching them a new trick, and even spoon-feeding our picky eater Louie. We were able to reach out anytime and always got a fast response. We reveived pictures and reports of her visit each time. I highly recommend Cindy, your cats will be in great hands!”
