“Paige was amazing! She was a quick responder to messages, communicative, detailed in her overviews of the drop ins, an extremely kind person, and did great/was accommodating with my cat! I would rebook in a heartbeat 😊”


“Samantha was absolutely a cat whisperer. My cat, Sirius, is normally afraid of all humans except for me. I have family members and friends that have never seen him. Samantha got him out and enjoying some pets the first day! This is the first time I am confident my boy ate his food while I was out of town ever since I got my other cat. I am so happy with my experience with Samantha who also very organized, gave lots of details while I was gone, and was a pleasant person to work with!”


“Caroline is the BEST. My cats adore her (even my shy boy Cheese). She is responsive, sends the best updates/pics, and I always return home to find two happy, healthy kitties. Cannot recommend her highly enough!”


“Ona did a great job! She easily followed my complicated instructions ;) She sent an informative update and cute pics from each visit. My kitty loved her. Would definitely hire her again, except I'm moving out of state.”


“Ronnie was fantastic with our pups! It was only a drop in, but he took notes when we did our meet & greet and asked all the right questions. Showed up on time and sent pics during his drop in. Will definitely be using Ronnie again!”


“Emalee was absolutely amazing with our three crazy cats! From looking through her photos, it was clear that she spent quality time with them both playing and relaxing. She is also an EXCELLENT photographer and sent us some amazing photos. Would highly recommend Emalee.”


“Rebecca was amazing!! She did exactly what our cats needed to keep their routine. She was patient and loving. Great communication with us to keep us at ease and did a great job giving our diabetic cat insulin shots. We definitely will use her again!”


“Emma did a great job checking in on my bunny Bailey! She was reliable and took time to hang with him while we were gone. He was in great hands, I got pictures and updates throughout the weekend. Will be rebooking for future travels!”


About: I am an animal lover with over 40 years of experience caring for pets. Personally, I have been a dog mom to 4 large dogs (golden retrievers and bernese mountain dogs) and 3 small dogs (cocker spaniel, cavapoo, jack russell terrier). I enjoy long walks outside with our pups. We have also been pet parents to one cat, a cockatiel, 2 hamsters, and a chinchilla. I have not met a pet that I do not like. My family always calls me the pet whisperer! I am good with puppies and elderly pets alike. I have house trained, crate trained, and leash trained all our dogs. I am safety conscious, patient, and loving. During the school year, I am available most weekdays after 3:15pm. I am also available for early morning walks or pop-ins before 7:10am. On weekends, I am flexible and can usually work with your schedule. During the summer months and school vacations, I am available and flexible during all weekdays and weekends. I would love to fill my time caring for your pets. During my meet-and-greet with clients, I will ask for specific directions on care and routines for your beloved pets. I like to keep schedules, sleeping arrangements, eating habits, and any administration of medications the same as when you are home with your pet.

About: I have had dogs my whole life and I love and care for them all. My own dog is my entire life and I treat all dogs like they are my own. I am a college student home for the summer looking for dog walking and dog sitting opportunities. My work schedule varies weekly but it always 7:30am-2pm, I am available anytime after that if I have work that day. I will respect everything in my clients house and listen to all of the instructions they give me. I will care for the dog and make sure all its needs are met.

“Melanie’s amazing! It was my first time being away for more than a few days with my cat, and Melanie took such a good care of my cat and he seemed so happy and relaxed when I came back. She kept me informed with what’s going on & provided constant updates. Will definitely recommend Melanie!!!”


About: I have never been without at least one dog and my home is their home too. I have a plaque above my french door to the back deck and yard and it says "Agenda for the day; dog in, dog out,etc) I have a ramp down into yard as well. Your dog will be cared and loved and supported the whole time; lots of toys here and beds; pup and human. I am retired and have the time to devote to your animals needs and wants.I make sure each of my dog's get their needs met. I have a fenced in yard with the forever wild behind me so lots for you dog to see. Your dog will be with my 11 year old rescue and sometimes my boyfriend's 10 year old border collie...both sweet and accepting of other dogs and humans.

About: My name is Alex Johnson and I am 29 years old and would love to dog/cat sit for you! I recently graduated from Rider University and looking for a friendly companion to look after in doing something I love. I am very responsible with dogs and give them all the attention they need! I am able to give your dog any treatments as needed. I will be 100% dedicated to your dog and will abide by any necessary requirements your dog needs.

“Amy was amazing with my dogs. She is a dog whisperer! We have one senior jack russel, Phoebe, who is very finicky about her food and prone to separation anxiety. Amy sat with Phoebe on the floor and hand fed her. Amy also had no trouble sneaking Phoebe's pills into her food. Our other dog, Winnie, is prone to mats in her fur. With every visit, Amy she takes the time to brush Winnie out. Amy played with both dogs and spent time drying them off and brushing them out after a walk in the rain. Our dogs LOVE Amy. From the first moment she came into our house during the meet and greet our dogs were smitten! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone!”
