“Lauren was absolutely amazing with our dog and cats!! I couldn't recommend her enough! She consistently updated us when she visited with them, sent photos, and gave them lots of love and treats :)) I know they had a blast with her and I'll absolutely book her in the future for other trips ❤️”
“Molly was very responsive throughout our trip. It was so nice to recieve pictures with our daily check in. Will definitely reach back out for any future cat sitting needs!”
“Oh my goodness, amazing! It’s clear she is an animal lover and caretaker. The thoughtful updates on what the kitties were up to and what she did during her time at the check in were so helpful and made me feel so at ease. Will DEFINITELY rebook. Thank you SO much Moira!!!”
“The dictionary defines the word remarkable as, worthy of being or likely to be noticed especially as being uncommon or extraordinary. However Willow and I define it as Katherine. She is good with keeping you updated, time management of walk to playtime, and her pictures of your pup will leave you with a smile!!”
“Kate came over to meet Ursa before her first visit. She was really sweet and Ursa, who is very shy, warmed right up to her. I felt safe leaving Ursa in Kate’s care.”
“I can't believe how lucky I got when I asked Hollie to take care of my pets a few months ago. I have now booked her for 3 occasions, 2 overnights, and 1 drop in. She will forever be my first pick.”
About: I've pet sat on and off for neighbors since I was a kid and grew up with dogs and cats in my own home. My childhood dog was the sweetest pitbull so I don't have any preconceived notions about any breed I love them all! I'm currently in real estate photography so I do shoots on and off during the day so if planned I can do stop ins and walks throughout the day. But for longer pet care I can do overnights on weekends. I'm very gentle with all animals but I also know how to handle difficult situations very well. It's very important for a pet owner to know how to deal with aggression/fights, sickness, running from the house, etc. and I've dealt with all of this and more.
“Lauren was a great help with my last minute booking! She was very accommodating and followed all my instructions. I would definitely book with her again.”
“I left my dog, Theo, with Kelsey and Forrest for a few hours, and definitely plan on using them again in the future! They were very accommodating, and facilitated a meet-up beforehand, so that Theo could get comfortable with them and their space before his stay. When I dropped him off, he didn’t even look back! Kelsey and Forrest are very trustworthy and obviously animal lovers.”
“Leah is amazing!!! Communication is awesome and she’s beyond flexible!! Been booking with her continuously and couldn’t be happier with her service!!!”
About: At a young age, I began to understand and care for our pets and those of friends and family members. I’ve learned how to be patient, kind, and active in order to provide the best care for dogs of various ages and sizes. Living in an apartment now post college, I’ve quickly realized how much I miss the joy and love a dog can bring. I would be incredibly honored to care and provide the most love to your furry family members! I do have a hybrid work schedule but it does come with flexibility to work around any at home requirements. I’ll typically be out of town Monday through Thursday, and have Friday through Sunday available at home. If given enough advance notice, I can manage my schedule to fit around your pets schedule. My work events can change weekly, so planning ahead of time is essential. When I’m not on the road, I work from home and have the ability to care for pets around the clock. My apartment complex is pet friendly, and there are many dogs that live throughout the building. There is an open grass area where many of them do their business, but I do prefer to walk around the block to give your dog more to sniff and space to choose where they’d like to “go”. There are also many local parks that I enjoy going to for little adventures! Since I will likely be working from home while caring for your pet, I will be able to provide 24 hour care and understand their needs throughout the day. Over the weekends, this will also be provided, as I typically stay home and go out around the area locally only.
“Alyssa was fantastic! We all know that leaving our fur babies behind is so stressful and, well, sad. Alyssa sent over cute stories of her and our cat Luna's adventures each day along with adorable photos of them together. Luna got all the pets and cuddles she could handle when Alyssa dropped in each day and was never left needing food, water, or a clean litter box. Alyssa made our time away from home so much more relaxing!”
“Abby did a great job of taking care of my two cats over several days and leaving messages with updates and communicating regularly. She was very professional about meeting beforehand to get acquainted and rolled with some last minute changes.”
“Megan and Josh were AMAZING!! I revived notes about how our pup was doing, what was accomplished during the visits and pics that all my kiddos and I appreciated so much!! It was our first time needing help from someone who wasn’t family and she left me with zero worries! Even a parting gift for Savannah ❤️”
“Emily was great with our Golden Retriever. My boyfriend and I work nights at the hospital, so we needed to find someone to let her out while we are at work. You can tell she loves animals and you can trust her with your pet. Thanks Emily!”
About: Over the past four years, I have house-sat a multitude of times for all types of animals; birds, dogs, and even cats. I make sure that they get lots of love and playtime when I'm with them and any other requests by the owners. I have administered medicine to pets while I have house sat so there would be no worries while you are away! I have experience with foster dogs as well and volunteer at Animal Rescue Project. I am a college student so I have a very flexible schedule! With my classes, there is plenty of time for me to spend time with your furry friends and give them all the love they deserve while you are gone! When at your home, I'll make sure that your pet(s) gets fed on time, takes long walks, is let out when needed, and gets plenty of time to play. I also love to take pictures to send when you're away because everyone needs to see their fur baby while they are away. As the owner of two dogs, I understand the importance of wanting someone that you can trust to take care of your loved ones and I always make sure I provide the service and time that I would want for my pets.
About: Hi! I am a 25 year old young professional. I grew up taking care of animals on my families farm. I am looking to get back into being able to care for animals and would love to meet your baby. I currently work full time but i have a flexible schedule and can work from home. i am currently available 4 days a week for walking and drop-ins. i can also be a pet sitter for your babies but since i am currently living in an apartment i prefer if its at your home as mine is small. I care for pets by providing a nice clean environment, taking them out to go to the bathroom one and hour, and going on plenty of long walks. I also own 4 cats who are all happy and healthy and deal with different feeding needs for each of them. with my extensive experience with dogs and cats and with caring for animals on my family farm i am very experienced and love animals of all kinds.
“Another great experience with Alaina. Gone for a week and daily updates on Isabella and picture to help me not feel sad to be without my cat. Will continue to to book Alaina when she is available. Good to know Isabella is comfortable and i have no worries when traveling. Thanks.”
“Melissa did a great job with my frail elderly dog and two cats. She was super conscientious, thorough, and communicated well. I will definitely call again next time I go out of town. Thanks, Melissa!”

Molly was great! She communicated very clearly and even double-checked the window of time I requested for her visits, which involved medication. I had inadvertently mentioned two different arrival times, which were close but not the same. Another person could have thought, "Oh, I'll just go at such and such a time. Close enough." But Molly took the time to reach out and double-check. I appreciated that. When visiting cat, did everything just right! I recommend Molly!! 😊
Ophelia was such a wonderful kitty sitter. She was so professional and caring towards my kitty, fish, and house plants. She would send updates on feedings, playtime, litter cleanings, and weather concerns (rain, heat, possible outages due to strong winds, etc. She truly made me feel at ease while we were away, and sent plenty of pictures. I appreciate her so much and would recommend her to anyone looking for a caring pet sitter!
Katie was fantastic with our sweet Loki! He warmed up to her almost instantly, and she did a great job communicating with my partner and I the whole time we were gone. This was the first time Loki has not been watched by someone in our family, and under her watch he was totally fine! We will definitely be repeat clients :-)
We absolutely loved having her care for our puppy, Oliver! She was kind, reliable, and took such great care of him during her drop-in visits. The updates and photos always made our day, and it was clear that Oliver was happy and comfortable with her. Knowing he was in such good hands gave us so much peace of mind. We would not hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her!
Lauren was absolutely amazing with our dog and cats!! I couldn't recommend her enough! She consistently updated us when she visited with them, sent photos, and gave them lots of love and treats :)) I know they had a blast with her and I'll absolutely book her in the future for other trips ❤️
