“Taylor is great. She says hello to Marshmallow and loves on him every time she comes over to walk him. Marshmallow gets excited when he sees her and he only gets excited for food.”


“Sarah has been great with my pup Leo the past few weeks! She has been walking and playing with Leo in the afternoon's while I am at work. She has been a tremendous help since I do not have time to leave work every afternoon to let Leo out while we are crate training.”

About: My love for animals is immeasurable, from exotic and unique animals to just your regular cat and dog. ever since I was a kid they have always been my passion. I have been taking care of animals for about 10 years now whether that be pet sitting for neighbors or taking care of my own fur family! (There’s a lot) My home is open and welcome to animals of all kinds! And when I come to take care of your precious fur baby your home will be treated like my home and your pets will be treated just like my own! (Lots of love and attention of course) Your pet will look forward to seeing me! I always carry a treat bag 🤭😊 I prefer smaller dogs dug to the fact larger dogs are more difficult for me to control, but I’m open to calmer large dogs that arent too rambunctious. My boyfriend will be accompanying me to meet clients and do in-home caretaking. We are super excited to meet you and your fur baby! ❤️❤️ Pet care is my main job. I take care of animals every single day, that is mostly my own, but it’s a job that comes naturally to me. Me personally when I’m at someone else’s home I’m going to be interacting with your pet the whole time. Talking to them, taking them outside, giving them treats. I treat them just like my own

“Teresa has been wonderful! She has watched my furr-children a couple times now and has been great! She has even agreed to watch over my pup kind of last minute which I greatly appreciated! I will for sure use her again in the future. If you want quality care for your babies, definitely contact Teresa!”


About: From raising puppies and kittens, to keeping chinchillas and sugar gliders, I have been around all sorts of animals for most of my life. Some required medications and others wanted to be left alone. I'm not shy or timid around any types of pets and I would love to meet yours! I am self employed as a gig worker in the music industry, so I am available anytime while not on the road. My only obligation is making it to the gym most days so other than that, I can be full time focused on your home/pets! Would love to help you keep your pets in their routine, in their home and the environment they're most familiar with. I am able to stop by whenever you need me, crash on your couch while you're away, or even stay in my campervan in your driveway! I'm reliable, trustworthy, and aim to provide you with peace of mind.

From playful puppies and curious kittens to senior pets needing a little extra TLC, I treat every animal like they’re my own. I understand that each pet has a unique personality and routine, and I’m committed to providing consistent, compassionate care tailored to their needs.

Most pets are totally comfortable with this routine, but if your pet needs a little extra care during the day, just let me know—I’m happy to come by on my lunch break for a potty break or drop-in.

For any service provided, I will follow any and every instructions left for your fur baby and always make sure to give your baby the attention they need! Having three dogs myself, I know how important it is to be able to trust any kind of sitter that would be watching them, and I will make sure that you are able to put your trust in me and I will treat your pets just like how I treat my own fur family!

“I first solicited “Fluffy” for pet sitting our fur babies for a last minute trip we wanted to take.

Our fur children (1 cat and two dogs) were well taken care of and loved during our weekend away. She truly loves animals and is highly recommended.”

Lisa R.
“We hired Lisa to stay with our beloved dog while we went on an extended trip to Europe. We had never had anyone but friends watch her before this, and we were gone a long time. Lisa sent us photos and videos while we were away to keep us posted. Lisa was so loving, sweet and attentive to our dog. She is very outgoing and easy to communicate with. I'm not sure who thinks more of Lisa--us or our dog. When we got home, it was obvious how comfortable our dog was with Lisa. Lisa will definitely be our "go-to" pet sitter from now on.”
