“Bridget did great with our cats while we were out of town. She cleaned up their messes and gave our older cat her meds every day. Her communication was great, and I got pics every day! Will definitely use her again!”
“Callie checked in on my two cats for three days, spending 30 minutes per visit. She was reliable and followed the care instructions I provided. I appreciated the updates and photos she sent, which reassured me that my cats were doing well!”
“Deisha is wonderful! She sent me updates everyday and really provided me peace of mind while I was away. I can't thank her enough and will definitely be booking her again in the future.”
“Kyra was absolutely wonderful taking care of our sweet Aspen while we were away! 🐱💕 She was incredibly reliable, attentive, communicative, and followed all of our care instructions perfectly. She kept us updated throughout the entire trip, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing Aspen was safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of love and attention. It’s obvious Kyra genuinely cares about the animals she looks after, and we felt completely comfortable trusting Aspen and our home to her care. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for kitty! 🥰 We would absolutely book Kyra again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter. Thank you so much, Kyra! ❤️🐾”
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life and I have had two of my own for years now. My oldest being 13. These are country pups who love to get down and have a good time. I care for them tremendously and will do so to yours as my own. I am currently working from home, I have a lot of free time to take care of the pups needs at any part of the way and make sure they get enough exercise in as well. I have a 67 acre private property with enough room for your fur babies to roam safely. I have two other fur babies of my own to keep them company and have friends to play with. I can cater to anything your dogs need with the amount of time and space I have.
“Danna did a great job taking care of our cat while we were on vacation and sent us pics and videos periodically during the time our cat was boarded at her place. Would rebook again in the future.”

About: I’ve been in pet care for many years taking care of my own pets and other pets in my pre-vet collegiate career. I have background experience in agriculture and large animal care as well. I work from home so my pets are my day long coworkers! They help give me structure and a routine instead of sitting at my desk all day long. Spending time with them is always something to look forward to. I treat any animal the same as I treat my own pets. My dog is the light of my life and I know other pet parents feel the same about their own babies.
About: Ever since I was a little girl I’ve loved animals.

“Bayleigh is fantastic! She is genuine and reliable and just a really great person. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and will absolutely be having her care for Remi again. It’s great to feel free to travel and know that Remi is well cared for. Remi loves everybody, but he really took to Bayleigh, probably because of her calm and kind manner with him.”

About: I have been in the anima care field for more than 10 years. I have personal experience in boarding, medical, and training as I have worked in a professional boarding facility that specialized in enrichment programs. I also have worked in vet clinics as an assistant for 7 years. I own a training business that specializes in obedience, puppy manners, and gun-dog training using force free and positive reinforcement methods. I make sure to offer structure and enrichment during your pups stay. I’m currently self employed and work from home. I make sure to follow the schedule of the owners as close as possible and make sure to offer daily structure and enrichment during the pets stay. I personally keep your pet in their own personal space to help them feel safe and comfortable. During potty times if they are comfortable they can interact with my personal dogs individually or altogether depending on their needs. While staying in my home they are kept on leash for any outside time to keep them safe as I don’t have a fenced in yard. Depending on the needs within a clients own home I will meet the current schedule and structure within the home.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.
