“Autumn took such good care of our cat while we were away on vacation! Having her visit and check on our cat gave us such peace of mind while we were out of town. Highly recommend Autumn to care for your cat!”
“Katharine (and her daughter) did a fantastic job caring for our cat. She did a great job at communicating and took care to understand and follow through on all my instructions. It is evident that she loves animals. In the meet-and-greet, her calm, confident demeanor impressed me as our large dogs gave her a very "barky" welcome. I highly recommend Katharine!”
“Great pet sitter! Went the extra mile to take fun pictures. Also had great communication and didn't mind some last minute changes. Would definitely use this sitter again!”
“Sarah took exceedingly good care of our kitties. One of them is a very picky eater but Sarah figured him out within a day. All her updates were very detailed and she was very intuitive with the kitties and their personalities (they can be a handful 😅). They warmed up to her in no time. Will definitely book again and again!😊”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs most of my life and have watched dogs for friends and family. I also fostered dogs through Ruffstart Rescue and Happy Tails. I’ve watched small dogs to big dogs ranging from puppies to senior dogs! I work Mondays and half day Tuesdays so I’m available on the weekends! I could be available Wednesday-Friday if I know ahead of time! Weekends are when I like to dedicate time to being active outside with my own dog Lady. I like to go on walks and go to the dog park. I live in a house and have a fenced in yard. No kids. I do have a 6 YO German Shepherd mix who loves to play!
About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats for my friends, family, and neighbors for over three years! I have experience with senior dogs, rescue dogs getting used to a new environment, and pups who have attachment anxiety to their owners. I also have experience giving medications for both cats and dogs. I am a firm believer in great communication, and always make sure to send plenty of pics of your furry friends if you request them. Your feline and canine companions are part of your family, so rest assured, I’ll treat them that way. My availability for pet care is mainly on nights and weekends, so I’ll be available to look after your furry friend if you’re headed away on a weekend trip or just out for the night. When it comes to watching pets, I believe that keeping them in a comfortable environment is key. While I’m looking after your dog, I’m more than happy to take them on walks, play in the backyard, or have a snuggle session. Rest assured, I will provide the best care possible for your pet, and make sure they’re comfortable and happy until you get home!
About: I have been dog and cat sitting for over 10yrs. I usually stay at the owners house. Experienced with dogs with medical issues, and high anxiety. I have given medications and have done some training. I have done just overnight stays, but have also done 3month long stays. I am also a Hairstylist and Skin care specialist. I rent a chair at a salon and make my own schedule, so my hours are flexable. I enjoy spending time with pets, but just don't live in a place were I can have one. I am not married and have no children, so I am completely available and focused on your pet. I usually like to meet you and your pet/pets about 1week before the scheduled appointment, so I can get to know you, your pet and your pets routine, feeding times, walking, medications if needed, etc. This also helps the dog recognize me when I show up, when you aren't there.
“It was great that our cats adapted quickly to Maddy. By the end of our vacation, it was clear they both cats, including our anxious Bobbi, were very comfortable with her. We really enjoyed the pics to be able to see that interaction. Also, both cats were very calm and unstressed when we arrived home. Great job Maddy!!! We look forward to the next time!”
About: I have had my own dogs and cats for 15 years and have cared for many others as a child, for friends, and for family. I currently have two cats and a dog of my own! If I do any in home care it is possible that my partner and my own dog may be with me. Please be open to this or let me know if I need to make accomodations for my own dog (not always available) I currently work part time so I have tons of flexibility to offer! I also have my own car so I am able to get around easily. I will always make sure all pets are safe, loved, and well cared for! I have always loved animals and am looking forward to helping you take care of yours!
“Thank you, Chasity, for being available on short notice to take care of our 3 kitties! Great to see them come out to greet you instead of hiding, so happy to see that! Great job, Thank you!”
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by pets of all kinds. From playful puppies to senior cats, I provide patient, loving, and attentive care. I treat every pet like family, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Whether it's walks, playtime, or cuddle sessions, your furry friend is in great hands! I am currently working full-time. I have two days of working remotely and some free weekends. I am looking for a part-time pet sitter position. I will provide pet care in your home. For as long as I can remember, I have been a pet sitter for my family and friends.

Olivia L.
“Olivia did a great job caring for our pets while we were out of town. She even got our more standoffish dog to warm up to her! 10/10! Would recommend!”
Deborah P.
“Deb has watched our anxious terrior mix 8-10 times or so over the last 3 years. Our dog is reactive on walks and barky when around other dogs. Deb has always made our pup feel supported and cared for when we go away. There is always a stress-tell with our dog: smell. The best review I can give is that our pup doesn't have that stress-smell when we return from our trips! These can last 3 days up to 2 whole weeks! In addition, Deb is very respectful of our space and things and keeps things tidy.”
