“Maura accepted our last-minute request to provide drop-in care for our cats and bird when an unexpected trip came up. We trusted her from our first meeting with her and she did a great job! She communicated with us and sent photos from every visit. We will definitely reach out to her when we need to travel again!”
“Cherie was absolutely awesome! She helped me navigate the River site since it was the first time, was extremely communicative, immediately helped sort out changing some last minute details when my dog passed just before the trip, and respected my cats dislike of strangers and tried to lure them to her but didn’t hunt them down and they were well cared for and happy when we got home. Since my cats are extremely shy she sent a creative variety of photos from around the house so we had the comfort of knowing that they were getting their daily care. Will absolutely book her for my future trips.”
“Connie did an excellent job caring for our 3 heathens (Flokie, Milly, & LoLo). She gave our old man, Flokie, all his medications as needed and she successfully made it through the distributions of all three's 'special dinner toppings' as I asked her to. She communicated very well and I highly recommend her. Thank you so much, Connie!”
“You can count on Brooklyn to give your precious fur babies TLC. Our two adult male cats took to Brooklyn instantly. She truly is a kind and gentle animal lover who you can trust in your home while you’re away. We had total peace of mind while we were out-of-town knowing Brooklyn was our sitter. Highly recommended.”
About: Can’t make it home? I can stop by, feed and water, let out, scoop litter and maybe a quick walk if needed. I’ve always had pets and have time on my hands. I have time on my hands. I’m available mid day to late day. If you’re working 1st or 2nd shift or will be gone for an extended time and need your pets taken care of, let me know and we can work it out. I am able to help out with pet care in your home. I’ve got too many of my own to board in my own home.
“Amanda is AMAZING. She is attentive, detail-oriented, flexible, and highly communicative. Panda has never been a fan of strangers but, by the end of my trip, she and Amanda were cuddle-buds (NEVER happens with sitters!). I'll definitely be requesting Amanda again and encourage anyone to give her a go!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my whole life. My family and friends relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets when they needed it. I work part time. I try to let animals outside every 2-3 hours and make sure they get lots of loving and lots of play time. I follow whatever rules that you need if your dog needs to be crated before I ever leave then it will be or if you want it running around I will do that. I also know cpr on humans and animals.
About: I love all animals. I have more than four years of pet-sitting experience. I have owned dogs and cats my whole life. I have experience working with therapy and service animals. I absolutely love pets and am always up for new experiences. I work as a nurse three days a week. I am free during most days and weekends. I work night shift, so I can dog sit overnight on nights I work if your pup is crate trained. On days that I am off, I am free at all hours. I currently have two pups at home that are both very friendly and playful. They are crate-trained, so if your dog does not like other animals, I can keep them separated. i have plenty of indoor and outdoor space for the pups to play and hang out in.
About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs from around ten years of age, in that time I’ve cared for pets of friends, families, and neighbors, and I’m looking to expand who I can help, and assist with providing piece of mind to pet owners where I can. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, and have experience with caring for, owning, and fostering cats and kittens Unfortunately due to my living situation I’m unable to have pets of my own right now, so I’ve got a bunch of extra love to give to yours. I’m currently taking online college courses, so I have ample time to help provide the attention and affection that your pet deserves. This leaves my schedule very open, and I am able to be very flexible with providing pet care. I have full and complete respect for clients property and homes. I understand that it can be frightening to let someone into your home and care for something you love so much, and I do everything I can to ensure that both pet and owner are comfortable.
About: Hi! I'm Hillary. My three kids and I have been taking care of pets while their owners are away for over 3 years now! My kids and I love to have new dogs to play with and go on walks/hikes with. We try to make their stay as comfortable and normal to them as we can! We know it can be stressful sometimes so let us help put your mind at ease! We have 2 dogs of our own, Boof and Steve who love to have friends come over! I work from home so I'm always available but if I can't be there, I have Andrew my s/o, help out with whatever needs done. Usually, drop offs/pick ups if the time is while I'm at work. Also, special feeding times, potty breaks , etc. We make a great team! I like to know as much about their regular schedule as I can. In hopes to make their stay less stressful for them. Potty breaks are supervised and/or leashed. I will send you photos and updates daily. While your pet is with us, we love them as our own!
About: I have dog sat for many of my neighbors, friends, and family members all through high school and college. I would often be their first choice, as I am very trusted with their furry family members! Also, I have fostered 10 week old puppies, 3 month old puppies, and many more. I also have experience with reactive dogs, as my own is one. I am a recent college graduate, looking to make some extra money and what better to incorporate my love of animals! I work a part-time job so walking would have to be in the evenings or on my off days, but I can pet sit whenever! On the days that I work however, I am gone for 8+ hrs. I am well rounded in what I can do. All of my dogs have been crate trained so I am experienced in that and I’m also used to being around puppies with my fostering experiences. Also, with drop-in visits, I’m experienced in meeting new dogs and approaching them correctly.
About: I've taken care of dogs for most of my life...from miniature rat terriers, golden doodles, hound dogs, and boxers. I have taken care of puppies as young as 2 months old to senior dogs at the age of 14. I am off all summer from the end of May until the beginning of August. I am also available most days during the week and weekends. and a I will offer the service for in home care at the owners house that way the pet is comfortable in their surroundings to make a new person coming in less stressful for the animal.
About: I have had my dog since I was 8 yrs old I am 18 now and I’ve trained her to do almost anything. I am very patient with animals I let them get used to me and comfortable before I do anything. I now have 2 dogs both smaller. I cared for a large dog for a year he was over 100 pounds. super sweet and loving he was my best friend. Unfortunately I had to move and I couldn’t bring him with me I miss him very much, so I am a big fan of larger dogs. I am currently working 2 jobs 1 every weekend Friday-Sunday. The other job is part time on either Mondays, Wednesdays, or Thursdays. My work schedule isn’t set permanently so I get most weekdays off. I am currently living with roommates so I will have to come to your residence, but that is not a problem for me especially since the pet will already be comfortable with the environment. When I meet a new pet I am very patient with them I will let them come to me to be sure they are okay with me being in their territory.
“Carla was friendly and dependable. Since I had an unexpected need for a dog sitter, we had our meet and greet only the day before she was to come. I felt confident she would do the job, and she came through! I hope to use her services in the future.”

“Mia is absolutely great with animals! She has a few of her own and has also watched mine many times. She goes above and beyond with their care. She loves them like they’re her own. She is very passionate about adopting animals from shelters which is something I view highly about her. She is always the first person to stop if she sees an animal in trouble. Animals big and small trust her, just as I do. She is patient and kind with animals that need a little more time to warm up to people and that is one of her great qualities as well. I would recommend Mia to anyone. She is just the best!”
