“Holly is very responsible, cat loving, and knowing person. She complied with a schedule. Our two cats accepted her from day one. We recommend Holly, and will call her in the future.”
About: I’ve had dogs ever since i was young. I have had big and small dogs throughout my life time and have taken care of others aswell 🐾 I work from home so pets would be with me at all times. I am also flexible with schedule, potty breaks and walks. I don’t have any pets nor children. 🐶💕 I love going out for walks and playing. We can do nature walks or just chill together 🐶 you can be sure your pet will be well taken care of 🩵
About: What really sets me apart is the amount of hands-on experience I’ve had with cats over the years. I’ve fostered so many cats—everything from tiny kittens to older adults—and I’ve helped several of them find loving forever homes. I’ve also taken care of sick cats, so I’m comfortable giving basic medications and paying close attention to any changes in their behavior. I’ve had two cats of my own in the past, so I fully understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone. I’m very patient, gentle, and genuinely love being around cats. Whether it’s keeping their litter box extra clean, sticking to their routines, or just giving them comfort and attention, I always treat every cat like they’re my own. I currently work in a hybrid setup. I’m remote on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, which gives me a lot of flexibility on those days, as well as on weekends For cats, I provide full access to my home in a calm, safe, and comfortable environment where they can relax and explore at their own pace. I have a kitten of my own who is very friendly, affectionate, and gets along well with other pets. I understand that every cat has its own routine and preferences, so I’m happy to learn and follow any specific instructions to ensure your cat feels at ease. My goal is to give them a comfortable stay while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re well cared for. Since I know cats can take time to adjust to new environments, your cat will have a private room initially to settle in. Gradual introductions will be done thoughtfully, even if they are typically friendly with other cats. I take hygiene, cleanliness, and safety very seriously. As a cat owner, it’s my top priority to maintain a clean, secure, and stress-free space for both my pets and your.
About: I am a former employee at All Good Dogs: Day Care and Boarding. Aside from working the front desk, I would take care of as many as 20 dogs at a time. Some of my responsibilities include feeding them on time, making sure they received their medication on time, playing with them, loving them, and of course taking adorable pictures! I have an extremely flexible schedule. I am usually available 7 days a week, with varying times. Like I said before, I am flexible and will be able to work with anyones schedule. I provide a safe, loving environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. I follow each pet’s routine closely: feeding, walking, playtime, and giving lots of affection. I ensure clean spaces, fresh water, and regular updates to the owner. I respect every pet’s unique needs and make their comfort my priority.
“Wilson was a great pet sitter. He sent pictures of my pets everyday and documented everything through the app. He spent time with them a swell which i really appreciated. I will definitely rebook with him in the future.”
“This is our second time having Mika watch our 3 boys while we were away at a wedding, and she is always amazing with them! Our house actually looked better than when we left (thank you so much for moving my boots under the awning when it snowed!) and our boys have verrrry wildly different personalities, and Mika always handles them all so well. Her communication and professionalism is awesome and we are so grateful for her, we truly couldn’t do this without her!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for over 20 years and currently have two of my own. I have experience volunteering for animal shelters and can handle meds, clean up, walks, or assistance for special needs animals. I am insured with Pet Sitters Associates. While in my care, your fur babies are my highest priority and I will love them as if they were my own! I’m currently on a sabbatical from work and am available most days during the week. After taking care of my own, I am free for walks and play starting at 8:30am until 6pm. Peace of mind, pet safety, and your pets contentment is my highest priority and I will follow the exact instructions provided by the pet owner.
“Stacey gave my two cats the best care I could imagine. I am so thankful for all she did for them, including giving medicine, and her detailed reports on their behavior while I was away.”
“I felt so much better knowing Rebecca was taking care of Woody while I was away. It was truly a last-minute decision to hire her (around 10pm we agreed for her to come the next morning at 7am!) and she arrived on time to meet Woody and get acclimated briefly with the space, before I jetted off for my trip. She sent pictures for each visit and did everything as expected. Rebecca, who also works a tough overnight job, strikes me as the sort of person who could probably handle ANY job competently, from dog sitting to running a company — it’s a work ethic thing.”
About: I have always had a natural ability to connect and build trust with every animal I've been lucky enough to have in my life. I'm just as excited to run, jump, and throw with your most energetic pets, as I am to keep a nice, slow pace on the road to a great relationship with your more timid and cautious companions. I'm work remotely and would love nothing more than having a four-legged friend to meet up with at the water cooler throughout the week! Outside of Tuesday afternoons, my current schedule is flexible enough to discuss any other day or time that works best for you and your pet! Whether it's maintaining a strict diet/mealtime while we hang out inside or going for a stroll for some fresh air outside, there is truly nothing I take more seriously than your animal's health and safety. Any household rules or precautions (Certain doors kept closed, loose fence gate-latch, etc.) will be specifically noted and immediately made a priority.

“5/5 — Another fantastic experience with Yana! Yana once again went above and beyond. She was 100% responsible, sent complete visit summaries, and shared plenty of photos, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. She cared for our dogs as if they were her own—lots of love, attention, and care for every detail. Our girls absolutely adore her! We trust Yana completely and couldn’t recommend her more highly!”
“Abigail took wonderful care of our bunnies while we were away. She was responsible, communicative, and very thorough. We came home to very happy bunnies—highly recommend!”

I am available for day care and house sitting any day of the week just reach out :) I care for dogs with a lot of love and confidence, whatever you need me to do I will do to keep your dog safe and happy.

I'm able to medicate, administer insulin or other injections, or anything medical. I'm very good with scared or unsure pets and have a knack for helping them feel more comfortable. I'm happy to spend time with the pets, walking them, playing with them, or just spending time petting them. I have loved and cared for animals since I was young and am hoping to have the opportunity to care for yours as well! I work from home and can be flexible with drops in and walks.

I will always make sure to follow your preferred schedule and make sure to take care of all needs you have for your pet! We can walk, play, snuggle, whatever they prefer!
“Michael was an amazing cat sitter to our 3 indoor boys and took care of our 1 feral lady outside! He was there everyday we were gone at the boys “dinner time” without fail! I received adorable photos of the belly rubs and even my shy guy came out for treats! That’s a testament to the animal person Michael is! When we returned home from our vacation the house was exactly how we left it and the boys had plenty of food and water. Their boxes were clean and the area was tidy. We will absolutely be using Michael’s services again!”

Thank you so much for taking great care of our three Golden Retrievers! We really appreciate you giving them a bathroom break and making sure they had fresh water. They have a lot of energy, so it means a lot that you handled them so well and made sure they got some time outside. It’s great knowing they were in good hands!
So fortunate to have connected with Brian. He was great with our dog and bonded quickly with him. Brian was responsive and communicated clearly. He asked great questions during the meet and greet. Throughout his care of our dog, he provided detailed updates, photos and pictures. We will absolutely be using him in the future.
What a good match Marco and his dog Wolf are for my dogs Shasta and Star. It was my dog’s first time having someone other than my household care for them at home. So, we did a short 1hour booking with Marco, and with Wolf too. Things couldn’t have gone any better. Since my dogs are young, super strong with high energy, Wolf being there was like having a friend along that could really enjoy running, jumping and playing at high speeds and with big smiles. Shasta and Star love their new friend Wolf. Marco was a perfect choice for caring for them since he has all the right combination of skill sets for active dogs. Marco admittedly loves the outdoors and that’s speaks volumes because that’s mostly all my dogs want, someone who loves the outdoors as they do, if they’re not sleeping. I look forward to bookings with Marco. 🙂Kari
