“Beth did a fantastic job with our three cats! Very professional and caring. We will be using Beth again! Thank you so much.”


“Thanks Sabrina for visiting my cat on the 4th of July”


“Jermaine went out of his way to make sure our dogs were well taken care of while we were gone. He was on time every day and sent pictures on a daily basis. He came to the house the day before to see the dogs and go over feeding and meds and even cleaned the kennel area in the house garage before we got back. We look forward to having him back in the future.”


“Our second time using Luie and he was just as great as the first. He communicates well and takes lots of pictures. You can tell he really cares about our pups.”


“Absolutely wonderful! Was able to help us last minute and was very communicative and sent a ton of pictures which we love and appreciate!! Definitely will be using Giovanni again!”


“Averi was able to help us out on such short notice with our two dogs. One of which is a very messy puppy and she was super good with her! I would 100% book with Averi again and recommend her to others!! ❤️”


“Jenn took care of our cat Blue for seven days. She did a great job trying to get him to come out of his hiding spots. Unfortunately Blue is a scaredy cat and does not trust easily. Jenn did her best and was able to take one picture of him. She fed him and rearranged his toys so she knew where he had played. Jenn is very enthusiastic and loves animals. I would highly recommend her!!”



“Crissy was a fantastic pro and came through in the last minute for my husband and me. Our dogs immediately warmed up to her and she gave us the confidence we needed to go on vacation knowing our dogs would be well taken care of. She sent lots of videos and photos while we were away to help us enjoy our vacation and see what our dogs were up to. We would highly recommend Crissy.”


About: I have always taken care of fur babies whether it was for friends, family, or neighbors! I love taking them on walks and playing with them in their environments to see their personalities. I will take care of your baby with the same love and care that you would. With taking care of my own puppies as well as others, I know how to look for different signs of behavior. I am currently a stay at home dog mom of two, so I have plenty of time during the morning/day/ to walk your fur babies and do check ins while you are away! I can take care of your dogs however you wish. I am good with crating and crate training. As well I do have some command trick training up my sleeve! I am here to help you make sure your fur babies are in good hands. I believe that it's better to watch dogs in their own environment so they can feel comfortable and be themselves.

“Such peace of mind having Lexie come by our home and take care of our sweet pups! We’re so grateful for her communication. We’ll absolutely contact her again! :)”


About: I have had multiple cats and dogs growing up. My parents still have multiple cats and dogs and I currently own two cats. I have had many experiences caring for other people’s pets as my family has offered pet sitting and in-home visits throughout the years. I love all animals and enjoy taking care of and spending time with them, playing, talking with them, etc. I have experience working with cats and dogs of all ages and sizes. Dogs will always have a fun time and enjoy their walks and/or play time with me. Both dogs and cats will get plenty of attention and care needed during in-home visits and dogs will during boarding or daily stays! As an animal lover, I look forward to helping out and providing great care for your pets! You can always feel comfortable and confident with your pet in my care! I look forward to working with you and your pet(s). Teacher & coach at a high school so August-June I am only available on weekends & school breaks. I have much more availability, especially during the week, in the summer months! Your pet will be provided with daily love, exercise, fun, conversation, and relaxation. I will be adding more to this section as soon as possible!

“Matthew took excellent care of our kitties, Buddy and Tigger while we were away! We were able to relax and enjoy our time away knowing that the cats were being well taken care of including their medications. Everything was. nice and neat and tidy when we arrived home. We would highly recommend Matthew to care for your pets.”


“Kennedy has a super personality that just clicked with my Luna! I felt very confident leaving her in Kennedy’s care.”


“Michele was a wonderful find. It was our first experience using Rover and we are so happy we found her. She was very good with our dog who takes a while to warm up to new people. Michele never missed a walk, was always on time and very gentle with our girl. She provided us feedback regularly and treated our dog like her own. We would highly recommend Michele.”


“Jacklyn was an amazing caregiver who was not only kind, but patient and understanding. We just recently moved to the area and this was our first time leaving our cats alone. She helped ease my anxiety over the situation and I felt comfortable knowing that they were in great hands. I appreciated her updates with each visit, as well as the photos she took of my cats when they decided to emerge for treats and food. If you want someone who is attentive and caring, I highly recommend Jacklyn.”


About: I have been working in animal rescue and doing pet sitting going on 30yrs. I love all animals and truly believe that a happy animal is a mentally and physically stimulated animal...and let’s not forget... well LOVED!! I foster dogs of all kinds, as well as have one of my own, who is my “baby”. I have experience with pretty much every kind of dog there is, from chihuahuas to Great Danes, from laid back to high strung, and from timid to aggressive. Over the years, I have learned how to handle dogs pretty well. I am confident and comfortable with dogs of all kinds as long as I am aware of any issues they may have ahead of time. I’ve just about seen and done it all! I view my animals as “family members” as I’m sure you do also. I am 100% reliable and trustworthy, and come with excellent references! I am an excellent communicator and possess the ability to make good judgement calls if need be! Please consider me to help you out with your pooch! Hope to hear from you soon!!

“My kitties never come out of hiding for anyone but they came out for Kelsey. She was very thoughtful and played with them. Everything was great. We will definitely use Kelsey again ❤️”

About: I’ve always been the go-to person for friends and family when it comes to caring for their pets. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities—from energetic puppies who need structure and playtime, to senior pets who need patience, medication, and a gentle touch. What sets me apart is my calm, reliable presence and my ability to quickly build trust with animals. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, quirks, and comfort needs so they feel safe and loved in my care. I’m comfortable with leash training, administering oral medications, and I never miss a belly rub opportunity! I’m an avid animal lover of all kinds! I’ve spent time caring for everything from dogs and cats to reptiles and other exotic pets. My love for the natural world extends beyond animals, too; I’m passionate about protecting the environment and feel most at home near the ocean. That connection to nature inspires me to create meaningful, enriching experiences for the pets I care for, including fun outdoor adventure walks whenever possible. Whether your pet is shy, excitable, scaly, or furry, I meet them where they are and treat them like family. I’m currently working part-time down at the beaches until 2 pm, so I’m available for pet care in the afternoons and evenings during the week, especially in that area. I’m happy to do drop-ins, walks, or sitting depending on your pet’s needs. I’m also available to board pets every other weekend, depending on my second job schedule, and I’m always willing to work with you to find a time that works for both of us. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I genuinely love it, it’s something I look forward to each day! When caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and individual needs. I take the time to learn your pet’s routine, preferences, and any special instructions so they feel secure and well-loved while you're away. At my home, your pet will have a clean, calm space to relax, a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and the companionship of my friendly 2-year-old dog who loves having a playmate. If your dog prefers downtime or needs structure, I can easily crate them upon request. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and do my best to maintain a calm, consistent environment for your pet. Whether it’s long walks, feeding, administering medication, or just some snuggle time, I make sure they’re getting attentive, personalized care. As someone who deeply loves animals and the outdoors, I also try to bring that connection to nature into every pet’s day, through enrichment, outdoor walks, or just peaceful time in the yard.

“Ashleigh was great with our dog on a last minute request and was very professional and attentive. I received messages throughout the visits and photos of our girl. Would definitely book again!”
