“Allysa did a wonderful job with my girls. She sent me pictures and was great at communicating things. She would reach out with questions. My girls were so happy to be able to stay at home while I went to a family wedding. I would highly recommend her and I will use her again!!!”


“Shea was amazing! I usually have family watch my dog, so this is the first time I have had someone outside the family watch her. I felt very comfortable and at ease the entire time. Shea did an excellent job and went above and beyond. I will be using her services again in the future :)”


“Autumn was amazing with out 2 English setters- she handled medications wonderfully and gave them so much attention and walks! Our neighbor even commented on how great she was. Look forward to using her again!”


“Elizabeth was phenomenal to work with. She kept us updated and sent plenty of photo updates. She even offered to stay later than originally planned so that our dog didn’t need to spend as much time in her kennel until we returned home. The house was picked up and clean (more than we had left it!) and she even washed the sheets and remade the bed so it was one less thing on our to do list! So thankful to have such an amazing sitter!”


“Aphra is an absolute champion! She showed up on time, was incredibly kind, and went above and beyond from start to finish. She took the time to interview me before even meeting my dogs, making sure she understood everything they needed. Throughout the day, she stayed in touch, sent photos, asked questions, and gave me complete peace of mind. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience”


About: Hi! I'm Kayle, a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, a cozy overnight stay, or just some extra attention while you're away, I’m here to help. I treat every pet like family, because they are! Reliable, communicative, and always happy to send photo updates. Can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I currently work full time but my schedule always varies and I am off every Saturday. I dont have any pets so all pets are welcome to my home for as long as need be! I have lots of trails outside my apartment im sure your doggo would love! And big windows for then to sit and watch out of! My boyfriend and I love dogs and could sit and play with them for hours!

About: I genuinely treat every pet as if they were my own, focusing on their individual needs, routines, and personalities. I'm dependable, attentive, and communicate openly with owners, ensuring peace of mind while they’re away. Whether it's extra playtime, careful attention to health needs, or simply being a calming presence, I go above and beyond to make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and happy. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine I plan my days around feeding times, walks, play sessions, and any special needs a pet may have. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddle time, I make sure each pet gets consistent attention, exercise, and care throughout the day. Their well-being is always a top priority in my schedule. In my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and pet friendly environment where pets can relax, play, and feel at home. I stick closely to their usual routines, offer plenty of attention, playtime, and outdoor walks, and make sure they have a cozy space to rest. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully to keep pets in a familiar, low-stress environment. I focus on maintaining their normal schedule, giving them lots of love and engagement, and keeping owners updated with regular photos and messages.

About: I currently have 2 cats of my own that I take care of, and I also have experience with cat-sitting, dog-sitting, dog-walking, and more 🐱🐶❤️ I’m working part-time as a pet sitter right now and I can watch your pets on any day of the week (including weekends) from 3:30pm to midnight, but I am willing to make exceptions if I receive any inquiries for pet-sitting outside of my normal hours :) I mainly care for pets at the homes of my clients, but cats are welcome in my home if they don’t mind the company of my 2 cats :) 1 cat per day, and you have to bring your cat in some type of cage/crate. They will be staying upstairs where my room, litter box, and food/water bowls are located.

“Amazing with our energetic doggie! Was very easy to communicate with her! She takes care of your animals as if they were hers! Very responsible and respectful! Will be using her services again!”


“Marsha took care of my 16 year old Havapoo who needs some extra care and meds for a week and did an excellent job. She kept me informed and sent pictures and made me feel at ease about leaving her. I didn’t have to worry and knew she was being well cared for. I would highly recommend her for anyone needing pet care.”


About: I have always lived with a cat. Every friend I have has either a cat or dog or more. I have had exotic animals as well. From breaded dragons to praying mantis. First thing I do make sure to feed everyone. Moving the cat bowls back down because the dog likes to try to eat them at night. The dog gets walked before she eats. We just bought a walkway to help our aging cats reach the food bowls. We have three separate feeding areas. So that everyone can eat. One of our cats has anxiety. We have gone through various methods until we find the one that works to relax her.

“Isabelle was fantastic! Met her the first time and whole heartedly trusted her with Benny. I left the country for a week and there were no issues or questions from her while I was away. Good communication and my place was just how I left it. Would recommend if you’re looking for someone you can trust with your loved one and home 🤍”
