“Corinne is truely an exceptional Pet Sitter. She was our best Christmas present, as we booked her last minute (after a scheduled visit was cancelled). Our 20 yr. old kitty, normally pretty shy with strangers, fell in love with her on 1st meeting and let Corinne hold & pet her on every visit. She was the best communicator, sending lots of pictures and short messages. We are so happy and thankful to have found Corinne and will definitely book her again!”

“This was my second time having Megan sit for my kitties. She did a wonderful job with detailed updates and pictures. I will definitely be booking her again the next time I am out of town - she is great!”


About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with hands on experience caring for pets in every stage of life - from playful puppies and curious kittens to senior dogs and cats who need a little extra patience and gentleness. I currently have a senior dog of my own, so I understand how important attentive care is - especially as pets age. I've cared for energetic young dogs and kittens to senior pets who require slower walks, medication or simply a calm and reassuring presence. I am comfortable with both dogs and cats and their unique personalities. I'm currently retired so I have plenty of time to provide regular potty breaks and walks as well as playtime and enrichment. Feeding and medications administered according to any schedule, if necessary. My goal is to make your dog or cat feel safe, loved and comfortable while giving you peace of mind all while remaining in your pet's familiar environment.
About: I’m an animal lover! I not only grew up with several pets including cats, dogs, fish, parakeets, & hermit crabs - but I now have two cats and two dogs of my own. I know how difficult it can be to find someone to check on your pets when you’re in a bind. That’s why I decided to reactivate this account, to help others out! Pet services give me the pleasure of working with animals while helping out the owner. I enjoy running, walking, hiking, and play time, as well as just relaxing with animals. I treat every pet as if it were my own, with love and care. Availability : Mondays = After 5pm Tuesdays / Wednesdays / Thursdays = 12-1pm & After 4:30pm Fridays = After 3:30pm Saturdays & Sunday’s = Open I treat all animals as if they were my own which includes patience, love, affection, and gentleness. I’m also accommodating to their specific mannerisms such as high energy, size, disability, etc.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and nothing makes me happier than spending time with them. I’m dependable, caring, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s a long walk, a game of fetch, or a cozy cuddle session, I’ll make sure your pet feels loved and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages for peace of mind! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time throughout the day for walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so caring for pets is something I genuinely look forward to. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, regular walks, or extra companionship, I make sure they receive reliable, loving care and stick as closely as possible to their normal routine. I believe every pet deserves individualized care based on their unique needs, personality, and routine. In a client’s home, I work to maintain their normal schedule by providing feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, exercise, and lots of affection. I also make sure the home is kept clean and secure while you’re away. My goal is to help pets feel comfortable and stress-free in their familiar environment. I pay close attention to any special instructions, including medications, dietary needs, or behavioral preferences, and I provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for.
“Courtney did a fantastic job taking care of my two elderly cats over the holidays. They generally do not interact with strangers, yet they were comfortable with Courtney, which speaks volumes about her calm and caring approach. I would highly recommend Courtney to anyone looking for loving, attentive care for their furry family members.”

About: Very experienced fur baby caretaker with 20 years of personal experience. I am very easy to rely on and will do anything to make you and your baby comfortable. I am currently not working so I have plenty of time to take care of your family member full time. I am very dedicated to making your life easy as well as your animal. I currently live in a house with no yard, however I am walking distance to a dog park. For cats, I do have a friendly cat of my own, and can make arrangements if need be.
About: A couple of months after we married my husband adopted our first dog, Sandy, and I’ve been hooked ever since. That was 26 years ago. Both of my sons are adults now so I have free time to focus my attention on your baby. Your baby will have my undivided attention. My property is fenced and I will accompany your baby outdoors. We can play fetch or simply keep each other company. I will do what it takes to make your baby comfortable and happy.
About: My partner and I both work fully remote so we’re home all day with a ton of flexibility for long walks and activities. He’s had golden retrievers in the family since childhood and I’ve rescued several dogs from the Dominican Republic. Currently, we don’t have any pets in our home as they’re all with other family members. With that said, we miss the pup cuddles and would love to give your pet the love and attention they deserve while you’re away. We’re extremely flexible with our work schedules and enjoy getting distracted by furry friends :) Between the two of us, we’ll take turns going on walks/to the dog park if the weather is decent. Attention to the pet is beneficial to all parties. We are practically step-parents to many friends/families animals so have become familiar with how much love and care they need. Your pets should feel at home in ours. Mi casa, Su casa.
“Brianna was so so great! Even with how late I made my booking, she was accommodating and sweet, and while I was away, she went above and beyond. I really appreciated all the effort she put into taking care of my cats, and even my shy guy seemed to warm up to her. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone!”

“Chelsea was amazing!! Our furkids loved spending time with her during our time away. She was very attentive and went above and beyond to take care of them and our needs while we were traveling. She shared many pictures with us and made sure we stayed connected to them. We would HIGHLY recommend her services to anyone who needs a pet sitter. We will definitely hire her again!”

About: Ever since I can remember I’ve been around animals! When I was born, there were cats and a dog in the house. I was responsible for my own dog, a brindle boxer, from the age of twelve, and took great care of her, cleaning up after her, and taking her for runs and walks all the time. Before her, my family had a golden retriever that we loved with all our hearts. I even had four turtles from the age of 7 through 19. I’ve got plenty of experience taking care of animals! I currently have a variable schedule where I work two to three days a week, some days 3-4 hours, sometimes the whole day from 8-3pm. It just depends. However, even on the full days I have time during lunch for quick puppy bathroom breaks, and plenty of time after work for walks or runs. I can crate your pup if needed, and I live in an apartment complex with a little dog park if they need some socializing! In regards to walks, I usually do these in the evening once it starts to cool down a bit so the fur babies don’t overheat. I can take them on short runs too so they can get all the exercise they’d need!
