“Meghan was great with our old man Savannah cat Cappy. He has the energy of a much younger cat and requires real play time, and needs regular meds for his thyroid. Meghan was great and he responded to her right away.”


“Jennifer is an incredible sitter! We have had her watch our cat Charlie a few times and she goes above and beyond for him while we are away! She brings extra toys and sends the best photos of him and treats him like a pet or her own. We would recommend Jennifer over and over again”


“Wow Ashley was just incredible this week caring for my cat and fish. I can tell that she truly cares for animals which makes me feel very comfortable leaving mine under her care. She even went above and beyond and brought in my mail and packages. I am so grateful for her and highly recommend her.”


“Rebecca did an awesome job doing drop in visits for our 3 cats while we were away for a long weekend. We loved getting pics every day and all three were in great spirits when we got home.”


“Rae was able to accommodate a very last minute sitting request including doing a meet and greet before we left. We came back to happy pups with plenty of water and food. Her drop ins were timely and for the full duration of time. We’d happily have her back!”


“Brian is an outstanding sitter! I was in the hospital having a baby and was experiencing so much stress finding a trustworthy person to watch my senior pit bull in my home. He cannot be boarded or crated. My dog has separation anxiety and Brian was able to help calm him and walk him or just hang out at the house with him when he needed a nap. Unexpectedly, my daughter needed to stay in the hospital and Brian was flexible and understanding. You are a life safer. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking great care of my dog-son.”


“Collette is the most kind, caring, attentive, responsible sitter! Both of our cats loved her. She is incredibly patient and our shy & overly cautious kitty even loved her. :) We will be booking her again!”


“Paulina was very accommodating and patient with our fearful dog. She allowed us to go on our camping trip with the peace of mind that Milo was taken care of. She was very easy to communicate with and sent us frequent updates.”


“Adriana was amazing and made us feel so comfortable while we were away. This was our first time having someone watch Caius and she kept us notified and sent photos the entire time. He is definitely more of a reactive dog and gets pretty territorial of our home, but he felt so comfortable with Adriana. She also watched him over the holidays which was much appreciated. We will absolutely be having her watch him again in the future. Thank you so much! ❤️”


About: I am a very active person. I love any excuse to run or walk outside, having an animal with me is a huge bonus. My roommate is allergic to dogs, so for now this will be the way to fill the void of not having a pet of my own. Therefore, I promise I will love your pet as if they were mine. Among some turtles and a frog or two, I grew up with three golden retrievers, and I was always the go-to person to watch any of my friend's/coworker's dogs and cats if they were away, ranging from just a couple days to two to three weeks at a time. I am very hardworking, trustworthy, kind, and I absolutely love any and all animals. I went from working in an office to now being remote, so I feel like I have ample time everyday and am always looking for a reason to get outside. My apartment building has a space outside for dogs to mingle and play. Otherwise, there is a park close by me that we can walk to.

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with a deep passion for caring for both cats and dogs. Since I was a kid, animals have brought me joy, comfort, and a true sense of peace. I find happiness in being surrounded by nature and spending time with pets—it's not just relaxing, it's meaningful to me. I'm currently a college student, and in my free time, I love dedicating myself to helping others by offering reliable, caring pet sitting and dog walking services. Whether it’s a quick walk or keeping your pet company while you're away, I’m here to treat your furry family members like my own. I am a part time college student. I want to spend my free time taking care of your furry friend. What better way to spend a summer, than with our furry friends. I find joy and peace being in around animals and in nature, I will walk and bike trails but I find it more even more enjoyable when you have a furry companion with you :) I like to be very considerate and careful when in your home. I will treat it the way I would like my home to be treated. I would respect your home and your boundaries and I will care for your doggie or cat as if they were my own.

“Ola was a wonderful cat sitter, especially for my older cat who requires special attention and insulin injections. She handled everything with great care and confidence. I truly appreciated her reliability and how comfortable she made me feel knowing my cats were in good hands. Highly recommend! :)”


“Odalys went above and beyond with my five cats while I was on vacation. She updated me at every visit as to how they were all doing. My cats enjoyed her company. She followed all of my instructions. I would definitely have her take care of my cats again when I go on my next vacation...without hesitation!”



“We are so excited to be establishing a relationship with Gina for our pittie Hildy. Hildy is nervous and fearful but Gina has been an amazing, calming presence. We are so excited to continue to build our relationship and have nothing but positive things to say about Gina. She's just lovely.”


About: If you ask anyone animals are my favorite thing! I’ll treat your dog as my own. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member!! I’m currently working part time, so I’m flexible are all the walks and needs your dog will need! I’m available all through out the week! Unfortunately I’m not able to bring your furry friends where I live, but am available to come over to the clients house when needed for the pet!

“Julia was amazing with Charlie at the drop-in visit. My dog is timid and suffers from anxiety, Julie was patient with Charlie, allowing him to come around to her in his time. Charlie also made a mess in his crate chewing his mattress to pieces and Julia was kind enough to help pick up the mess for me. Thank you!!”


“Kristin went above and beyond taking care of my cats medications while I was traveling. My parents were there as well but cannot manage the medications. They enjoyed Kristin’s company very much and couldn’t say enough nice things about her. She even contacted my vet with questions, which I really appreciated. Kristin stopped over to meet and discuss details before the trip which gave me a lot of peace of mind. She has a great way about her. I highly recommend Kristin.”
