About: I am very easy going I love cuddling walking and playing with the animals I am constantly petting and grooming and love giving them treats when deserved Its company, its takes away stress, fun, and loving. It's like having another family member in our household. The animal is like a human and is very enjoyable. I am a very honest, friendly, person. It takes a lot for me to get upset. I would take care of the animal like it was my own child.

“Our boy Blue was in great hands with Jenn while we traveled over the weekend! She sent plenty of updates, he & our home were well cared for while we were away.”

Aleese E.

“Beatriz did a wonderful job taking care of my boy. She had her hands full with him not feeling well. She responded quickly to all my check ins and kept me updated. I'm so happy I found someone that is willing to come stay in my home and care for him. Will be using her again. Thank you!”

“Yujin was wonderful with watching our 18 mo old Shiba, Koge in our home. She was very communicative, was willing to do a preliminary meet-and-greet, and was so accommodating and flexible when our plans changed. Yujin treated both Koge and our home with care, and graciously dealt with Koge’s stubborn Shiba quirks. We are definitely happy to trust her with our pup and home again in the future.”

About: I’ve had pets ever since I was 9 years old, both cats and dogs, and I’ve always taken pride in making sure that my fur babies are taken care of just as well, if not better, as anyone in my family 😁 I work from home so always have someone here to watch and make sure everyone is well taken care of while staying at my home I have 2 cats to keep your pet company during their stay with me, and I livw with my family so it’s more than just one person here to make sure your pets are safe and happy

“Kinery was outstanding. She housesat for us and our puppy and cat, and the entire time we felt 100% confident they were in good hands. It was our first time leaving our pup with anyone, and she treated him like he was her own. She went above and beyond, even buying him special treats and taking him for a play date with her own dog. She gave special attention to our overly anxious cat to make him as comfortable as possible. We will definitely call her anytime we need someone to watch them, and highly recommend her to anyone who needs pet care!”

“Jennifer was wonderful. We don’t go out without Gabby often, but when we do we will definitely have Jennifer watch her.”

Joanne P.

“I can't recommend Jed highly enough! He truly saved the day by accepting my booking at the very last minute. He was incredibly accommodating, friendly, and professional. Most importantly, Mazi adored him. I will definitely be booking with him again!”

Esther C.

“We were contemplating on how our 2 dogs were going to be taken care of while we were on vacation for 4 days. We have a 9 year old Dachshund and a 4 month old German Shepherd and were skeptical of boarding them in a kennel due to the fact that we didn’t want to put that stress on a puppy. We usually have a family member stay at the house to care for the dogs while we are gone for a long period of time, but we didn’t have this option during this time. We came across Rover and said to ourselves, “Let’s meet a sitter and see what happens”. We came across Carolyn and chose her because of her background working with animals. When we met her, we knew instantly we liked her and our 2 dogs enjoyed her. So we moved forward with booking her and when we returned back from our trip, our 2 dogs were happy and well taken care of! We’ll definitely be using Carolyn in the future!”

Anthony H.

“Skyler was wonderful! She was here for our Poppy girl every night and kept as close to her routine as possible. We will definitely be reaching out to Skyler again for future stays!”

About: I know the feeling of standing at the door with your suitcase, looking back at your pet, wondering if they’ll be okay. My job is to make sure that the moment you close that door, you stop worrying. Here’s why you can: my cat Wall-E came to me feral. He trusted no one. Today he walks on a leash, comes when I call him, and asks for cuddles. That’s the skill I bring to every animal in my care, cat or dog: reading body language, respecting fear instead of pushing through it, and letting your pet set the pace. Shy, anxious, reactive, or “difficult with strangers” pets aren’t difficult to me. Trust earned slowly is the kind that lasts. Your pet won’t be squeezed between errands. I work from home, so animal care is already the shape of my mornings and evenings. Drop-in visits, midday potty breaks and check-ins, walks, daily feeding schedules, and extended stays all fit naturally into my day. The details matter to me because they matter to your pet. Exact feeding routines, portion sizes, prescription diets, the walking route your dog knows, the bowl that has to be in that one spot: I follow your instructions to the letter, not approximately. Litter boxes are scooped every visit, yards are checked, and I pay attention while I do it, because changes in appetite or bathroom habits are often the first sign something’s off. You know your pet best. My job is to keep their world exactly the way you built it. And if the worst-case scenario in your head ever became real: I’m CERT emergency-response trained through our village police department. I handle medications, supplements, and senior-pet health monitoring calmly and precisely. You’d have someone who acts first and panics never. You’ll never have to wonder how it’s going. Daily photos and videos come standard, and every stay ends with a personalized touch. I run my own business from home, giving me flexible availability throughout the day. I can accommodate drop-in visits, daily feeding schedules, and extended sitting arrangements. My routine already includes dedicated pet care time morning and evening, so your cat will fit naturally into my day. My home is a cat-friendly environment where my two well-socialized cats live. I’m experienced with managing multi-cat introductions if boarding is needed. For in-home visits, I follow detailed care instructions and send photo updates so you always know your pet is happy and safe. I’m also experienced with administering supplements and monitoring health needs.

“Thanks Mari! Our babes and home were well taken care of during our 12 day trip. She was communicative and very caring. Will definitely continue to rely on Mari for our pet and house sitting needs.”
