“This was our first time having someone come to our home to check on our dog. He is 15 years old and we can’t board him anymore. I was very nervous but Sarah made it such a pleasant experience for us and our dog. She gave great information on how and what he was doing. She also took pictures during each visit which really kept us at ease. She took him for walks and applied frequent “spa” treatments with his favorite itchy skin ointment. I’m relieved to know that if we need to go away again, our dog and home will be in good hands! Thank you so very much Sarah!!”


About: I have taken care of my Diva girl for 16 years! 6 years ago I got my second dog Reid and a year later my cat Siggy. My pets are my life and when I’m not home I know someone is there with them keeping them company. I would love to provide that for other pet owners- whether it’s walking, hanging out, staying over, etc! I currently am on my own schedule so I have all the time in the world to take care of your animals!! I would love to meet some new four legged friends! Whatever you need I’m there- at your house ! I have 3 animals of my own and one is very old! But I am very trustworthy and will love your pets like my own!

About: I’ve helped our friends before and love being with pets. I’m good at getting their energy out! Also I have plenty of time now that I’m a teacher on summer break so my hours are super flexible. I’m a preschool teacher and I’m currently on summer break. Therefore my hours are very flexible. I can pretty much help out whenever I’m needed. I will follow the directions on the pet owner. I currently have 3 cats in my house. We love them and take good care of them.

“Anjoli was an amazing help to me. She ensured that my cats were fed and passed a medication each day to one of my cats. She was punctual, sent me pictures, and provided great communication and service. Thank you again Anjoli. I will be booking you again in the future.”


About: I grew up with both dogs and cats and have always loved animals. I have house sat and dog sat before and always treat other people’s animals like my own. I’m a registered nurse so I am patient, conscientious, and reliable. I’m a registered nurse and work 3-12hr night shifts a week. I usually have free time during the day on weekdays when most people are at work. I’m also comfortable with pet care later at night, as I stay up late. Early mornings are not usually good for me unless I am coming home from working overnight. I always make sure to treat other people’s pets and homes with respect. I treat all animal’s like they are my own pet. I love spending time with them. I make sure not to give them anything that they shouldn’t eat and to keep anything potentially dangerous completely put away where it can’t accidentally be reached by an animal.

“Ryan was amazing and went above and beyond to help my pets feel comforted and taken care of. I was impressed with how well my dogs warmed up to him. He provided many updates which helped put me at ease while I was away. I totally would recommend and book Ryan again when needed.”


About: When you choose me to care for your pet, you’re choosing a passionate and experienced pet lover who prioritizes not only your pet’s comfort and happiness, but also your peace of mind. I understand how important your furry family member is to you, and I strive to provide them with the same level of care, attention, and love they receive from you. While you’re away, you can rest assured that your pet is in safe, caring hands, with updates provided to ensure you remain connected to their well-being. I have experience caring for younger animals with energetic needs who require frequent playtime. I’ve also dedicated time to caring for senior pets, providing them with gentle exercise, extra comfort, and making any necessary dietary adjustments to support their health and comfort. Currently, I care for a 17-year-old cat who requires more delicate care. Additionally, my background includes working with anxious pets, where I’ve applied my professional clinical experience to soothe, calm, and build their confidence, helping them feel more secure in unfamiliar environments. I work from home and run my own business, so my availability can accommodate you and your pet’s needs. I’m flexible with scheduling and can provide consistent care and attention throughout the day. Whether your pet needs midday walks or frequent drop-in visits, I’m happy to help make things easier for you. I will offer whatever service and care is most similar to your pets current environment. If you would like them crated, I am able to accommodate. However, if you are more comfortable with your pet having more freedom within your home or my home, I am happy to provide that environment as well!

“Jackie was a saint with our anxious dog, Skyla. Sky is a high maintenance rescue pup due to past trauma and Jackie was very patient to make sure our girl was comfortable and safe. I am so thankful for her.”


“I am very pleased with Megan. She responded immediately to my inquiry and when she did a meet and greet with Mia, I could tell that she was definitely a dog lover. The day of the drop in visit she responded to my emails and notified me on how the visit went. I will definitely use Megan in the future for any drop-in visits for Mia.”


About: Growing up in our house meant being around all sorts of animals. Anywhere from, dogs, cats, reptiles, small critters, and big critters. Being the oldest I often took care of my siblings pets. Which is how I became well acquainted with rearing puppies and kittens. It also lead me to have a love for small animals such as rats. I'm not easily spooked by animals. I work 8 hour shifts and am available from the mornings till 12. My work schedule is 12-8p.m If your pets are OK with that schedule I'm available for house sitting. My current days off are Wednesdays and Thursdays. I always like to introduce myself to new pets, by letting them sniff me for a bit. Most dogs and cats love being spoken to softly that usually helps with easing a pet.

“Katherine was extremely responsive and accommodating to our last minute cat sitting request due to an emergency, she took excellent care of the cats and gave us peace of mind. She is very friendly, reliable, and we highly recommend her!”


About: I have been caring for animals since I was around 6 years old. I have cared for dogs, cats, horses, sugar gliders, farm animals, and so much more. I absolutely love any dog from the largest paws to the littlest paws. They’re a part of our family and deserve the best care they can offer. I don’t mind if it’s a little bouncy puppy or an older senior living out their last and most important days. They all deserve the best care. I have always had a lot of luck when it comes to pets who may be high anxiety around new people or who may just struggle with general shyness. I can also handle a pup or an older dog who may just not be able to potty outside. I understand that everyone’s situation is different and not every dog is the same. I accept and can handle any dietary requirements the dog may need and I can walk the dogs personally or allow them outside in a yard depending on how you prefer it. My goal is to keep your dog as comfortable as they are when they’re with you while you’re gone. I have pets of my own, so caring for them on a daily is very important! Lots of walks, time for meals, playtime, and meeting general needs! This includes food, water, medications, etc. I have lots of time for furry friends and can care for them whenever someone may need it. As a pet lover myself, ensuring a pet is happy and well taken care of is very important to me and I will meet all of their daily and weekly needs. When I’m staying at someone’s home, a pet’s care is always very important. The care all depends on the specific needs of your pet! For example, if your pup needs to be exercised at a park nearby or just walked a good while a few times a day near the house, I can absolutely do that. If they prefer to just lounge around the house and cuddle, I’m totally up for it! I can do any feeding routines along with daily exercise or training routines your pet may be used to. I can even try and start a new routine for you if you’ve been trying to start one. I always take great care of my pets making sure they have fresh water, comfortable places to lay, nice clean fur, food at the right times and amounts, plenty of potty breaks and play time, and of course, love! Breakdown- - walking your dog as needed or even bringing them to a park nearby if it is what you desire - ensuring they are safe and have access to the potty whenever they need it and checking throughout the day in case they don’t like to tell! (Keeping up with daily cleaning for litter boxes when it comes to cats) - cleaning up any messes the dog or cat may make during the stay and keeping track of anything they may eat.. shoes must really look yummy to some pups! - keeping up with a daily/weekly feeding schedule - keeping the water fresh and clean at all times so your pet never has to worry about being thirsty. - understanding the daily playtime routine and making sure your pets feel loved and have lots of fun! - keeping up with lists you may provide specific to pet’s needs. - ensuring all daily and weekly medications are given to the pet at the times they are needed or as the schedule says to do so. - anything specific needs your furry companion may need are always welcome and will be put into the routine.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life, and right now I share my home with three dogs and a cat. I know firsthand how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else—I’m super protective of mine because the idea of them feeling anxious or lonely while I’m away really weighs on me. That’s why, if I’m caring for your pet, I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family. Our pets’ lives are short and precious, and I believe every moment should be filled with comfort, care, and joy. I’m available every day of the week, including weekends. Pet sitting is currently my full-time focus, so your pet will have my complete attention and care. I have a spacious, fully fenced yard and I’m home throughout the day, so your pet will never be left alone. If they stay with me, I’ll make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I have my own pets at home, but I’m happy to keep them separated if needed—I can easily set aside our downstairs living area just for your pet’s comfort and peace of mind.

“Elena has taken care of my kitties multiple times now, and they love her. My girl cat has medication she needs twice a day and can be difficult, but Elena is able to get her to take it every time. My boy cat just loves her so much every time she comes to visit. I can always count on my kitties being well taken care of!”


About: I have 2 dogs of my own. I have been training them myself. I have some knowledge on reactivity. I overall just want to help other dog parents out as well. I will care for them as if they are my own ❤️ I also love adventures, so if comfortable, I would love to have fun sniffing/ playing in new areas! This summer, I will be off school so I will have more availability to do drop by visits and dog walking to best fit your schedule. I have 2 fur babies myself. So I have experiences with all sorts of pet related things. I can ensure your pet feel comfortable and safe around me.

Gabrielle I.
“Gabrielle was the perfect sitter for our senior dog with special needs. She cared for our 16-year-old pup, who still has plenty of spirit but struggles with mobility. We were able to go away overnight knowing she was in great hands. Gabrielle made sure she was comfortable, happy, and gave her all her medications- we came home to one very content dog! We will be booking with her again.”

“Chelsea was absolutely amazing with our senior cat Hocus and our rabbit Hunny. Chelsea provided high quality care for our furbabies for a week while we were on vacation and once or twice weekly depending on our work schedules.

amelia p.
“Amelia is a responsible and caring individual. They have helped care for my dog Niko in the past and were very attentive. Every time Niko would see or smell her presence he would wag his tail from joy. Amelia currently has one cat named Cheyanne and she takes great care of her by taking her cat to the vet when necessary and keeping her happy with toys and treats. All of her pets have always been very happy. She even took great care of her rats by providing them with toys, handmade decorations, and freshly prepared meals. Amelia responds to texts in a timely manner and would keep me up to date on my pets during trips abroad. Overall, Amelia is a great person who loves and cares about animals.”

Charles K.
“If you’re looking for someone that pets feel comfortable around, Charles is awesome! I have seen him care for his own cat, as well as my 2 cats. He is a very gentle and friendly person, and has a way of making animals (as well as people) feel at ease around him. I would have him watch my pets in a heartbeat, without any concern. He is good with details too, so you can be sure he’ll remember to feed your pets on time, etc.. I highly recommend Charles!”
