About: Hi there, my name is Diana and I love being around animals. Pets have so much to say without words and I love listening to their body language and cues to give them what they need. I grew up with a great dog, Snickers, who I loved to walk and play with. I am a cat mom to a senior cat (15 years) who is my world. I have cat sit for other senior cats with needs and am familiar with using a cat inhaler and giving pills. My schedule is very open. I can go on long walks and give frequent potty breaks. I'm here to help! I'm currently on the job market so that means I have plenty of time to play with your pets, provide feeding, or even house sitting. I will ensure the safety of your pet while on walks, always aware of my environment and being sensitive to the pet's needs. For home visits I’m great at keeping your house tidy while giving attention to your pets.
“We are so grateful Lauren was available to care for our kittens. It was our first time leaving them for longer than a weekend but they were in great hands and warmed up to her quickly! They got plenty of attention while she watch them and we hope to book Lauren again when we are traveling again this winter.”
“Absolutely LOVE Elizabeth. She handled everything like a champ and went above and beyond to make my kitty comfortable and communicate with me.”
“Chris did a great job taking care of our two cats! He was reliable, communicative and seemed to form a special bond with one of my cats (the other is antisocial but Chris did a great job respecting her boundaries as he is a cat owner himself). Would highly recommend him!”
“Johanna was fantastic! Came on time and was very communicative during the whole check ins. My kittens and I highly recommend Johanna!”
About: I have been taking care of animals my whole life, from casually dog walking and sitting for neighbors and friends, to professionally working with dogs of all kinds in the grooming salon. I have significant experience with reactive dogs, special needs dogs, and all those that just need a little extra time and attention. Well-versed in a variety of training methods, I am comfortable working with your pup in whatever ways you've deemed best. In my spare time I volunteer with One Tail at a Time, and I'm a sucker for a good rescue story! M-F I work outside of the house. The hours vary day-to-day. I am occasionally out for 8 hours at a time, but most often only 4-5. Because of this variability, I'd generally be a better fit for adult pups that can hold it if needed. That being said, I generally know my schedule about a week in advance, so feel free to reach out for availability specifics during weekdays if you have concerns. I am extremely patient and willing to meet your pets wherever they're at. I understand it can be stressful to have their family away from home, and I am ready to sit with them and help them feel secure and comfortable in your absence. A little bit of play, patience, and routine can go a long way in forging a connection and breaking the ice. That's why I make sure to follow your schedule and instructions with an attention to detail, maintaining a sense of familiarity and normalcy to put your pet at ease. Additionally, I am COVID-cautious (currently, 2025!) and will wear a mask during meet n greets, for all of our safety. I am a very tidy person and always treat the space with care, making sure to leave things as I found them and clean up after myself and the animals. I would like for my clients to mutually respect my privacy as I do theirs and disclose when there are cameras in the home.
“Desiree was great! From a wonderful check in with Zoey, to communication, to understanding change in plans due to weather. Will definitely book again. Thank you so much!”
About: Growing up, my family always had at least two dogs at a time, with cat often thrown in the mix. I've had pets of all shapes and sizes from Boxers, Doberman Pinschers, and Poodles to a Jack Russell Terrier and a Bulldog, each with their own unique temperament and personality. I am comfortable with all breeds, big or small, multiple dogs, and all cats! I have been pet-sitting since I was a kid and have experience with puppies, anxious pets, pets with a disability or that require specialized care, and just about everything in-between. I work part-time so my schedule is pretty open to take care of your pups! As long as you give me a days notice, I can make it happen! Regardless of what service I am providing, I will always treat you, your pets, and your home with respect and care. I typically follow the owner's lead in terms of care. If an owner has a fairly regimented schedule, I won't miss a beat. If you prefer a more relaxed routine, I will keep that in mind while still providing top-notch care and attention.Very few requests are too big when it comes to ensuring the safety and well-being of your furry loved ones. I always go above and beyond for both pets and their people!
“Vanessa was great! She helped us out extremely last minute and things couldn’t have gone better. Supper communicative and cats were doing great when we got back home. Highly recommend and would definitely work with her again!”
“Marlene was great with our two cats! She had great communication with us and asked a lot of good questions prior to our trip. She gave detailed notes and pictures for each day. Definitely kept us at ease while we were out of town. We will be using her again!!”
“Tiffani was so great with our two cats for drop in feedings. One of my cats is not very nice and they got along just fine and he even let her get a quick pet here and there. They got lots of playtime and pets and I got lots of fun photo and video updates. Thanks Tiffani!!!”
About: My family always had a dog growing up, so im very familiar with them. Then, after I moved out I got cats of my own, and learned how to take care of them too! Im at teacher, so im typically available nights and weekends. I'd be able to come over and provide whatever necessary services after school and on weekends I make sure I respect the pet's boundaries. I never pet a cat or dog first unless I know it's okay and they feel comfortable with it! I've watched dogs and cats at my apartment before, and we always make sure the pets feel safe
“Val was attentive to my kitty and very pleasant to work with! She took excellent care of my cat while I was away, and left detailed notes so I knew how my cat was doing.”

19. Jordan A.
“Jordan has taken care of my dog Frida a couple times and has always done a great job. Frida is a very nervous dog's and doesn't really trust other people, and Jordan has done great at being patient with her while making sure she is being cared for. He would send me photos of her when he would take her out for potty walks and generally through the day. He also did very well in keeping me updated on how she was doing through her stay. When I come back to pick Frida up, she has always been in a good mood and visibly well taken care of. There are not many people I would trust to take care of Frida and I feel lucky to have found Jordan.”
