“Emily was very caring and try her best to be flexible for my last min request. She is very responsible when it comes to care my cat while I’m gone and share with me of my cats behavior to avoid any possible issues. I appreciate her to above and beyond as I love my cat. Will definitely look for Emily to care my cat again and highly recommended! :)”
“Megan takes great care of my shy cat, he loves her visits and is very comfortable with her. She’s been super helpful and reliable, I will use her services again and highly recommend.”
About: I've taken care of various animals since I was a teenager. I've helped dogs overcome Parvovirus and kittens overcome emergency situations like choking or a concussion (the concussed cat was my neighbor's years ago). I tend to grow trusting bonds with animals by giving them proper care while also respecting their boundaries. I am currently taking courses for Dog Training and Veterinary Assistance. I have pets of my own. I am an Executive Chef and work keeps me busy, but I make my own schedule and love to fill my free time doing things I enjoy, including spending time with fuzzy friends. My mom lives here as well and is home full-time. She helps with taking care of my kids and our pet guests when I'm at work. I have a fenced yard and the animals have free reign of the house and yard. My cats also enjoy exploring in the wild outdoors (aka the porch). I like to take dogs for walks and have multi-dog leashes (and bowls). I have grooming supplies because I like to make pets look spiffy and feel soft and clean before they go home. I love spending my time at home hanging out with my family and fuzzy friends. My favorite way to start the day is to see a bunch of wagging tails and cozy, cuddly, fuzzballs. I treat them like my own.
“We absolutely love Andrea. She's been taking care of my puppy since he was 8 weeks old. I was so nervous about going back to the office and work with a young pup at home. I immediately felt better knowing he'd have someone to check in on him! I appreciate how flexible she is with my changing schedule. I am so happy to have her as part of our care team for our dogs!”
“From the start Theresa was very responsive and clear in scheduling and care info! She sent photos and updates daily with all the activities feom the visit and Achilles was happy and active when I came back home!”
“Adara is very professional, friendly, and reassuring — a fabulous set of qualities for just what we needed: a reliable cat-friend to check up on two different kitties. 1000% will book again!”
About: I'm living with family and among our number is an 11-year-old puggle who still plays fetch like he’s in his prime. He's such a sweet dog and his energy is impressive given his age. He's an old hand at fetch and he loves to sliiiiiide across the kitchen floor after the ball. I grew up with golden retrievers, have loved a pittie/hound mix and a Carolina dog, and I routinely spend time with my friends’ standard poodles who are often too smart for their own good. I truly enjoy connecting with all sorts of dogs and getting to be an Auntie to the fur-children of friends and family. I'd love to assist you with your schedule, trips, or unexpected events through caring for your furry-family-members. Dogs are fantastic in all their forms: the goofy, the gentle, the high-energy, and the wonderfully stubborn. I’m happy to play fetch, offer enrichment through lick mats or puzzle toys, and run through commands or doggy-drills if your pup knows them. If your dog needs calm company instead, I’m equally content just giving them companionship and keeping their routine steady. *Before booking, a few things to know: 👋 Meet & Greet: I prefer to have a short, unpaid meet & greet before the first sitting engagement. This helps me find your home, lets both you and your dog(s) meet me, and gives us a chance to review routines or any special care needs. 📆 Advance Notice: A few days’ notice before booking is ideal, but feel free to reach out if you need something sooner. I would still like to arrange a meet & greet if it’s our first time working together. *Requirements for Safe, Reliable Care: 🩺 Emergency & Vet Info: I like to have your dog's vet and an emergency contact on hand. I think it's better to be safe than sorry. ✖️ No Stairs: Due to severe arthritis in both knees, I need to stay on one level of your home. A few entryway steps are fine, but I can’t go to second floors or basements. Apartments must be ground floor, unless there's an elevator. 🐾 No Walks: Because of my arthritis, I can’t provide walks. I can, however, let your dog out into a yard, supervise outside play, provide potty breaks (pick-up after potty breaks), and offer plenty of indoor/outdoor enrichment. ⏰ Visit Times: I begin bookings no earlier than 8 AM. Later morning, afternoon, and evening visits are totally fine. Similar to my preference if a few days notice, however, if you really need someone sooner than 8am, feel free to ask. My goal is simple: meet your dog(s) exactly where they’re at and make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. 🐕🐩🏠 --- 🐾 I also happily care for a variety of other pets! 🦎🐍🐦🐇🐹🐀🐭🐠 I have experience with — and genuine love for — many kinds of companions, including lizards, snakes, birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, mice, and fish. Each of these animals has their own unique needs, routines, and safety considerations, and I’m always happy to talk through the details. Let me know the species, type (such as the kind of snake or lizard), dietary needs, and any special handling instructions so I can make sure they receive proper, attentive care. My schedule is pretty open, right now. I'm a night owl so I'd prefer to not start before 8am, but I can do visits a couple times a day. My only scheduled commitments, at the moment, are Thursday evenings and from 2-7pm on Sundays. I will feed, clean-up after, and play with your pets as needed. Right now I'm only doing drop-in service, but later I may be available for overnight sitting. I will always leave your home at least as clean as it was when I arrived.
About: I love dogs and cats of all sizes and breeds. I grew up with a Boxer/Mastiff named Zoe and I am currently living with two cats and a three year old male Aussie named Jasper. I work nights and weekends in the City (~6 to 7 hour shifts), so I have plenty of time to spend during the day before work with your fluffy family to make sure they’re happy and healthy. I love spending time with animals and will send plenty of photos of us/them, with very detailed reports of our time spent together for your enjoyment and comfort.
“Aislin was a phenomenal cat sitter for our 20 year old tabby Gretchen. She was punctual with her visits and super communicative, which is always appreciated when I’m traveling and I have another person taking care of Gretchen. She happily arranged a meet-and-greet ahead of booking and made the whole process very easy. We would gladly have Aislin watch Gretchen again. Thank you, Aislin!”
“Very appreciative of Scott accepting my last minute booking. We reached out when we realized what we thought would be a shorter day trip was turning into an entire day outing. He stopped by and walked my German Shepherd and Jack Russell terrier. Fed them, gave them some love & attention and got their water refilled. He did a great job and sent me all of the communication and photos when he was checking in walking and checking out. I recommend Scott highly to anyone who needs help with pets!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was little! I love them all and wish we could have extra but with renting we cannot have all the dogs and cats! I Would love to be your friend to watch them while you are out! I am a stay at home mom who homeschools. I am looking for extra work and would love to bring my kid around more animals. I have experience with puppies to sweet seniors. I amhappy to do check ins and love on them while you are out! I would love to stay at play with them if they are playful! I am happy to take them on walks and if allowed give extra treats and cuddles!
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities! I have a 3-year-old Australian Shepherd, so I know firsthand what it takes to care for a high-energy, crazy dog of my own! I’ve worked through training challenges and reactivity after he experienced a traumatic event as a puppy. Because of that, I have a lot of patience and empathy, especially with pups who need a little extra attention or structure. I also have two sweet cats at home and grew up around animals my whole life, so I’m totally comfortable with multi-pet households. Friends and family often trust me to care for their pets when they’re away, and I always make sure to stick to routines and give pets the love and attention they need while their humans are gone. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a senior dog who needs a gentler pace, or a cat who likes their own space, I’ve got you covered! Pet care fits naturally into my daily life, I already spend a lot of time walking, playing with, and caring for my own Aussie, so I love adding more furry friends to the mix! I’m off on weekends, work from home on Tuesdays, and my weekday schedule is generally flexible. I’m typically at work from 9–5, but if that’s too long for your pet to be alone, just let me know! I’m more than happy to flex my schedule when I can to make sure your pet gets the care and attention they need. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority. I’m more than happy to follow any instructions you provide, down to the smallest detail, so your pets can stick to the routines they know and love. Whether it’s special feeding, medications, or just the way they like to be tucked in at night, I’m here to make sure they feel safe and cared for. In your home, I’ll treat your space with the same care and respect I would my own. I want both you and your pet to feel at ease, knowing they’re in loving hands. I’ll keep you updated along the way so you never have to wonder how things are going, just a little extra peace of mind while you're away.
“Lindsay has watched my cats a handful of time In the last month and has done a fantastic job! She’s super easy to communicate with and takes great care of my cats and sends adorable pictures! Would highly recommend!”
About: I love spending time with animals, especially cats and dogs. I’m a patient and caring person. I train my cat every day — she already knows 16 commands, and we both truly enjoy the process. Pet care is part of my daily routine. I love planning my day so I have dedicated time for playing, feeding, cuddling, and taking care of animals. It’s not “extra work” — it’s what makes my day feel complete. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or the client’s, I always aim to create a calm and safe environment. I stick to their usual routine, respect boundaries, and pay attention to every detail. Pets should feel safe, loved, and understood — and I make sure they do.
“Hali was wonderful with my cat Pounce and did a great job with all of the water, food, litter daily. Took plenty of pictures and made sure he got play time to burn off his extra energy. Would recommend and will def rebook.”
“Violet was great to work with! She was responsive, understood and completed the detailed feeding instructions, and kept me posted on a daily basis. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a friendly, reliable, sitter.”
“Angyl did a great job with scheduled visits to our house while we were away for the weekend. Second time we have had Angyl help while we were away for a couple days. Super reliable and she gets along great with our little dog! Would gladly have her come again.”

Caitlin was so fabulous with our little Piper. Piper spent the first 18 months of her life in and out of shelters and foster homes so she’s extra skittish. Caitlin was so kind, calm, and gentle and earned Piper’s trust within the first few drop ins. We’re so sad that Caitlin is moving out of the area but we’re grateful for the love and care she gave Piper and know she will be a great match with pets in her new area.
Emily was very caring and try her best to be flexible for my last min request. She is very responsible when it comes to care my cat while I’m gone and share with me of my cats behavior to avoid any possible issues. I appreciate her to above and beyond as I love my cat. Will definitely look for Emily to care my cat again and highly recommended! :)
Our cat, Mittens, walked into our lives two months ago. She was a stray and her personality has proven to be difficult for all who know her. She has two modes, friendly and cuddly or violent. After scratching our nine year old neighbor who was trying to watch her while we were out of town as well as an adult neighbor who was also trying to help, I contacted Andrew to see if he could take over. Andrew was able to understand our complicated kitty and did a great job caring for her while we were gone. Mittens adored her time with Andrew, and minimized her attacks under his care. He spent time getting to know her and playing with her. He brought toys and cuddles. He offered helpful tips and resources for taming our spicy feline. I hope that Andrew is available when we next go out of town. I also hope that our spicy stray calms down. Thank you Andrew for making our time away one thousand times less stressful.

Mara did such a great job taking care of my 3 cats. They were happy and healthy when I got back. She communicated with me and gave me regular updates. My home was in great condition after a week long trip. I would highly recommend having Mara and Samuel take care of your furry family members. I look forward to working with them again.
