Lisa is wonderful, an experienced pet owner/sitter. The meet and greet was impressive, as she asked detailed questions and requested vet/emergency numbers “just in case.” She followed directions to the T. My three dogs loved her! It was also a huge relief not to have to worry while I was away. I definitely recommend her services!

Nicolas (Cole) was great to communicate with. He gave detailed feedback on how our dogs were doing while we were home. He took the initiative to find our cat and made sure he got attention too ! Coke’s puts his heart in his work with the pets. We will gladly request to have him return.

Ellen was able to accommodate drop ins for our 2 cats on a very short notice after we had to leave town for a family emergency. She took good care of our fur babies and gave us very detailed updates with pictures included. So glad to find her and will definitely book her again.

About: Family and friends trust me with their pets because I treat every furry friend like my own, full of love, attention, and gentle care that keeps tails wagging and hearts happy. With school starting in two weeks, my schedule is wide open, and I’ll still have plenty of time to give pets the care and attention they need. I have a fenced yard with plenty of space for dogs to play safely, and I live in a quiet neighborhood perfect for enjoyable walks. Whether at my home or yours, I ensure pets get exercise, attention, and lots of love.

About: Hi! I’m a dedicated pet lover with hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats—my pups Gary, Kiki, and Koko, and my cat Gracie. Each of them has their own personality, so I’m used to adjusting my care to fit different temperaments, energy levels, and routines. From long walks and playtime to quiet cuddle sessions and independent cat care, I make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, walks, and giving pets the attention they need—whether they’re social or a little more reserved. Your pet will be treated like family with me, safe, happy, and in good hands every time.

About: Hi, I have been taking care of cats and dogs all my life. Been fostering cats for a year and adopted one last year. I love animals and would love to host yours! I work remotely so I am home 24x7. I will feed and play with your cats according to any instructions you provide. Although I have a cat, I have a separate kitty room that I’ll be using to keep your kitty in. This way the cats are separated, but have their space. I dont have a fenced yard, but your kitty will be well taken care of so they do not find an open door. I have had my cat for a year and she has not found an open door. 😊

About: I have been a dog lover for all my life and realize they require lots of love and attention each day. I will treat your dog as if he/she were my own so you never have to worry while you're away. If your dog is more energetic and prefers running instead of walks, then I will certainly do that. Or, if your dog needs to go at a slower pace, I can do that too. I have experience with puppies all the way up to senior dogs and can administer pills and/or oral supplements. My availability is very flexible and I will try to make time even if it is short notice. I am very responsible so you can definitely count on me to keep your furry friend happy and safe when you're unable to be there with them. If you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to send a message or give me a call. Thank you!

Vivian is AMAZING. We had to travel for just a few days and we left Blitzen at the house (he has a dog door) and had Vivian check in for feedings. He was so relaxed when we got home. No kennel anxiety! Vivian always takes excellent care of him.

I have experience in taking care of small to medium sized dogs, young and old, for family and friends as needed in the past and want to extend my dog sitting care to my community. I am happy to housesit as well as walk, feed, and care for your pets, and most importantly, foster a safe and happy environment for them. I can't wait to meet your beloved companions and befriend them too. I am available for evening petsitting or walks after 5pm on weekdays, and all day on Saturday and Sunday, overnights on weekends only. I can accommodate for your schedule if needed. I have reliable transportation to your home and will be respectful of your living space and your pet's routine. I am happy to give your dog a walk, take them out for breaks, feed, and/or entertain them as needed.

About: I have experience caring for dogs for family and friends, including walks, feeding, playtime and overnight care. I also care for my own Lagotto Romagnolo (Alfie!), where I’ve gained hands-on experience through training, daily enrichment, and participating in scent work activities that strengthen his focus and build confidence. I work full-time, but I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make time for the pets in my care. I’m especially available during evenings and weekends, making it easy to provide dependable walks, drop-ins, overnight care, and plenty of attention (and pets!) when families need an extra hand. I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable when they can stay in their normal routine and environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and trustworthy experience by following all care instructions closely, maintaining feeding and walking schedules, and giving each pet plenty of attention, play, and companionship. I take time to build trust with every animal, pay close attention to their behavior and comfort levels, and make sure owners feel confident knowing their pets are being cared for with patience, consistency, and genuine care.

About: For years, I’ve been trusted by friends and family to care for dogs of all sizes and personalities, whether it’s energetic puppies, strong large breeds, or mellow older dogs. I also have experience providing medicine for both dogs and cats, ensuring they get the right care when they need it most. I know how important it is to keep pets active and engaged, so I make sure every dog gets plenty of walks, playtime, and attention tailored to their needs. Being an active caregiver, I enjoy staying on the move and making sure each furry friend feels loved, safe, and happy while in my care. I currently work four days a week and have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide care and walks Monday, Wednesday through Sunday. This gives me ample time for multiple walks per day, accommodating different feeding routines, and plenty of playtime. Whether it’s sticking to a schedule or adding in extra activity, I make sure each pet gets the care and attention they need. Depending on your dog’s training and routine, I can follow your directions for crate use, provide free roam in my apartment, or stick to the setup you prefer. Since I don’t have a yard, I make sure dogs are leash trained and enjoy regular walks in my neighborhood. Walks can range anywhere from 1 to 3 miles, depending on your dog’s needs and your request. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and well-cared for in an environment that matches their routine. In your home, I would follow careful instructions with walking, feeding, and playing.

Jessica was great to work with. Before we booked her, she came by to meet our pups, which immediately put our minds at ease. She communicated well throughout her visits and sent pictures, which we really appreciated. Knowing our dogs were happy and well cared for made being away so much easier. We would definitely recommend her and look forward to working with her again.
