“Brittany is an absolutely cat sitter! We've had Brittany do multiple drop-in visits for our cats, and each time, she goes above and beyond. Brittany consistently ensures they're well-fed, their litter boxes are spotless, and most importantly, she takes the time to play with them and give them plenty of love and attention. She's reliable, communicates wonderfully, and truly treats our cats as if they were her own. We honestly couldn't ask for a better cat sitter. If you want peace of mind knowing your beloved feline companions are happy and well-cared for while you're away, Brittany is the only choice!”

I also have weekend availability! I am also dog/cat CPR and first aid educated! I will take care of your dog as if it were my own! Have special requests? A dog with special needs?

“Yin was awesome! She came on time, fed my puppy, took him outside, cleaned up his messes, and washed his food bowl. She showed care and attention. She went above and beyond what I could have imagined. She communicated effectively and kept me informed. I will definitely book with her again.”
“This is our second time using Cristina and we are just as impressed and thankful for her detailed and loving care as we were the first time around. She handled our older cats incredibly well, and had no issues administering medication. She even fed our bunny while we were gone. Cristina goes above and beyond! We will definitely use her again.”
“Mika was fantastic in helping me care for my two cats when I was in a pinch. She was punctual, flexible, and very sweet and patient with them. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and capable pet sitter!”
“My kitty was very happy when Megan came. She kept us update with pictures and messages. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing our little guy was being taken care of.”
“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!”
About: I’ve had dogs of all different breeds my entire life and absolutely love them with my whole heart. My family has fostered puppies numerous times and is active with a local animal shelter. I love playing with pups, relaxing with pups, and taking pups on walks. I’m currently waiting to start a new job as an ER physician assistant in July. Until then, I have wide availability on almost all days. My home has a large backyard for the dogs to play but is only fenced on two sides with an electric fence on the other two. My neighborhood is a mile long circle where I take the dogs on walks. My dogs eat twice a day in the am and then at 5pm but will of course feed your dogs whenever needed. I can adjust to any style home and backyard as needed!
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’ve grown up around dogs, so being around them has always felt natural to me. Over the years, I’ve also helped take care of friends’ and neighbors’ dogs, and I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, and giving them plenty of attention. I’m patient, reliable, and make sure to follow each dog’s needs so they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Whether it’s keeping them active or just being good company, I always do my best to make dogs feel at home. 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 If your dog comes to stay with me, I have a spacious fenced yard where they can safely play and get plenty of outdoor time. Inside, my home is large and comfortable, giving them plenty of room to move around. If a dog isn’t fully house-trained, I can provide a separate room for nighttime, but trained dogs are welcome to sleep wherever they feel most comfortable. For cats, they’ll have full access to the house and a calm, safe environment to relax and explore.
“Frida was wonderful with our very shy cat! She tried for 2 days to get him to come out and play and on the third day he did! He played and let her pet him which means he was one happy cat! Frida took good care of him and our house, we highly recommend her and would welcome her back anytime.”
About: I’ve cared for pups of all ages — from playful little ones to sweet senior dogs who need a gentler touch. I’m confident giving medications and even administering injections, always with patience, love, and care tailored to each pet. Whether it’s playtime, exercise, or extra patience and love, I tailor my care to meet every dog’s unique needs. Morning • 7:00 AM – Potty break & 20–30 min walk • 7:45 AM – Breakfast & fresh water • 8:15 AM – Short playtime or cuddles Midday • 12:00 PM – Potty break & play • 12:30 PM – Mental stimulation (training, puzzle toy) Afternoon • 3:30 PM – Potty break • 4:00 PM – Light play or nap time Evening • 6:00 PM – Dinner & fresh water • 6:30 PM – Walk • 8:00 PM – Relaxation, cuddles, or quiet play Night • 10:00 PM – Final potty break • Bedtime – Cozy sleep routine Creating a safe, loving environment is always my top priority. I have a secure fenced yard where dogs can play, explore, and stretch their legs without worry. Supervision is constant, and I make sure gates are latched and the yard is hazard-free. Inside, pets enjoy a calm, comfortable space where they’re treated like family. Whether it’s an energetic pup or a senior dog who needs extra care, I provide a trusted environment where every tail can wag with confidence.
“Great person to book with!!!! She took amazing care of my golden retriever and was very quick to get back with me about any questions or concerns I had. 10/10 would recommend.”
About: I’ve taken care of aunts 4 dogs when she was away for the last 5 years. She has mostly hounds and I am responsible for feeding and walking them. Plus I love playing with them and giving them love, During summer my schedule is mostly free in that I work part time, weekends are the best for me. However I am a teacher so during the school year I can only do the afternoon and nights. I will make sure that they follow their daily routine. I have experience with dogs of different ages. I have experience with gaining trust of your pet and creating a welcoming environment 🐶🐾❤️

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
Christian was a fantastic cat sitter! He was always punctual and incredibly easy to communicate with - quick to respond and very accommodating to all of our requests. He made sure our cats were well taken care of each day, from mealtimes to playtime, refilling their water, keeping their litter box clean, and even leaving the TV on for them just the way they like it. We especially appreciated all the photos he sent during each visit - it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We could tell our cats were happy and comfortable with him. Highly recommend Christian!
