“LeeAnn is such an amazing pet sitter! She's very quick and responsive, and sends the cutest pictures of pets! I'm so thankful she lives in the area <3 Thank you so much, LeeAnn! <3 Mamba and Liv”

“Jenny did a great job coming by and checking on our cats. she was prompt, reliable and sent multiple pictures of my kitties looking happy and comfortable with her. she was super helpful and communicative and we would definitely use her again!”

“Beverly was an awesome cat sitter for our drop in visits. She cared exactly what we care about with our cats - them staying safe and comfy! She was thorough in locating them and providing photos and updates. We’ll definitely be partnering again!”

“Renee was friendly and easy to communicate with for our drop in visit. She handled our two dogs (one of them reactive) without any issues and was receptive to all of our care notes. Would happily recommend and book her again.”

“BReN once again was a great sitter for my cat Xochitl while I was away for a week. My cat is very independent and doesn’t cuddle much so BReN must be a cat whisperer because I received frequent pictures of Xochitl hanging out on her lap or next to her! The house was clean upon return and she even brought in a package that arrived while we were out. BReN is thoughtful and caring toward animals and their human guardians.”

“Our dogs love Elizabeth! She spent time with them while were out of town for the day and brought us great peace of mind knowing they’d receive love, care and playtime while we were out. She shared photos and an update to keep us in the loop, and our pups just adore her.”

“Larissa was very professional, consistent, and thorough. Not a moments hesitation would there be to hire her again. Her communication was superb, as was her overall pet care and attention to detail. And I could tell from all the photos of my Kitty… that she agreed wholeheartedly, as well. A very happy little girl!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is there is no debate with me when it comes to which is better, cats or dogs. I just love taking care of your fur babies! Plus I have dealt with older animals and understand what comes with handling them. Pet care fits in my routine perfectly! This and college will blend in perfectly in my day to day routine getting me where I need to be! I unfortunately cannot have any dogs or cats in my home, because there already are 4 dogs plus a cat in the home that I take care of. But I am willing to stay and take care of your pets in your home.
About: I have taken care of pets since an early age. We have had surgeries, Iv care and shot and medication experience. I have trained puppies and dogs and shown dogs that have won titles. I currently do pet and people portraits while I’m pet sitting and the dogs are napping. I have an elderly dog and two younger Labradors that live here. I also have vegetable gardens, gardens and lawn I water every 3-4 days. Taking care of cuddlers is my life💕 I have 7 snake wire fenced yards. Two have lawns. One yard with a large patio and dirt and shade and the other areas have sawdust so the dogs won’t burn their feet. I also have three larger areas for winter runs. The fencing is 6’ high except in the large lawn area. It is 4.5’.
“Absolutely hands down the best pet sitter we have ever had. Basia is wonderful with our senior dogs and takes outstanding care of them when we are out of town. She is dependable, reliable and caring.”

About: I've been taking care of animals for my entire life. Outside of having my own fur babies (two cats, and one dog), I have frequently cat/dog sat for friends, family, and neighbors! I have a deep love, and understanding for animals. I am ready to get to know your pets, and learn about their own unique characteristics and needs. I am able to provide feeding, grooming, exercise, quality time and any medical accommodations they may need. I'm currently taking some time off from my regular employment, so I have an abundance of free time to care for and spend quality time with your pets! I will utilize any instructions given, as well as my own intuition when it comes to the safety and well being of your pet. Whether we are at your home or playing at a park, your pet will be in very safe hands. I am also prepared to have active communication with you in regards to your pets, and how they are doing.
About: I had a wonderful Husky growing up, He was always bursting with energy and personality, eager to run, explore, and snuggle up next to me whenever the day ended. Having him around taught me responsibility, patience, and just how strong the bond between a person and a dog can be. After high school, I adopted a Rottweiler of my own. Raising him from a young age helped me understand training, structure, and daily care better. Soon after, my mom needed some help with her cat, so I welcomed him into my home. For a while, I had both a dog and a cat living together—learning to balance their different personalities, needs, and routines. Later, when my husband and I moved into our own place, we added another furry family member—a sweet Corgi who joined us about two years later. Each pet has brought something special into my life and has helped me grow as a caregiver. I’ve gained hands-on experience with both dogs and cats—from energetic working breeds to loyal guardians and independent, affectionate cats. Caring for them isn’t just about feeding and walks—it’s about building trust, comfort, and a little friendship along the way. Pet sitting fits naturally into my routine since I work part-time with very flexible hours. I’m able to plan my schedule around visits, walks, and check-ins, whether they’re early mornings, midday, or evenings. Because I manage my own time, I can give pets consistent attention, unrushed care, and plenty of love throughout the week. I care for pets in my home and yours with the same level of love, patience, and attention I give my own. In my home, I create a calm, safe, and cozy environment where they can relax, play, and feel like part of the family. I adhere strictly to their regular routines—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and bedtime habits—to ensure their security and comfort. In your home, I respect their space and maintain their familiar routine to minimize stress. I move at their pace, especially with shy or anxious pets, building trust through gentle interactions, consistency, and positive reinforcement. Whether it’s energetic playtime or quiet cuddles, I prioritize making each pet feel safe, understood, and truly cared for.

About: I have a wide variety of experience. Fostering shelter animals, caring for day old baby kittens. I've had ferrets and most everything else. Except I'm not fond of snakes. Anything furry please. I'm currently working part-time. Generally in the evenings. I can come by for care anytime before 3pm and be back around if needed by 10pm most nights I have great respect for other people's area. I am considerate, clean and honor privacy. I will leave the area better then when I arrived.
About: Being a pet mom has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. With three dogs and two cats, I’ve built a beautiful, chaotic family that brings me joy every day. From early morning walks to cozy nights on the couch, I’ve learned the true meaning of unconditional love, patience, and the importance of bonding with my fur babies. What I can provide to your family is my 20 years of hands-on experience as a dedicated pet mom. I truly understand the unique needs and personalities of different animals, having cared for a handful of dogs and cats of my own. This deep connection with pets allows me to provide tailored care, whether it’s managing medical needs, addressing behavioral quirks, or simply offering extra cuddles. My commitment, empathy, and attention to detail ensure every pet feels safe, loved, and valued, making their time with me as stress-free and enjoyable as possible while also giving you and your family the peace of mind knowing your fur baby is in good hands. *As I have dogs and cats myself, I ask that your fur baby be current on vaccines and clear of symptoms of canine flu or kennel cough within the past 14 days. *NEW CLIENTS - Meet and greet required for day care and trial night required for boarding. I work from home full-time, so I'll have plenty of time to care & play with your fur babies. I let my dogs out at least 3x a day, I always provide fresh water, and if ever I have errands to run, I don’t leave my pets no longer than four hours. I’m very flexible with my time whether specific feeding and drinking schedule, providing medication, or if your baby doesn’t like being left alone, I can work around your pet’s individual needs. I have a fenced front yard and five friendly pets (3 dogs & 2 cats) to keep your fur baby company. I have baby gates to separate my pets from yours or I can keep my pets in the bedroom if needed. I always keep a close eye on my pets when they’re out in the yard.
“Dauntless absolutely adores April when she comes to visit him around lunchtime in the middle of my 12 hour shift. After recently moving and a brief period of unemployment for a few weeks, Dauntless began to develop some separation anxiety and is very particular who he is happy to see while I'm at work, but fell in love with April the moment he met her. I am lucky I found her and she is definitely good people!”

About: I love being with dogs! I have been a dog Mom for 35 years, and I run a nonprofit dog rescue. Through my extensive experience with dogs, I feel I understand the emotions, language and needs of pups. My joy is seeing dogs feel safe and cared for, and watching them thrive! I am good with dogs in all stages of life, especially senior pups. I am home with the dogs! Dog care and being with the dogs is my priority. Your dogs will have loving companionship and attention, to help them feel comfortable, relaxed and nurtured. My home is set up for the comfort of the pups! Dogs are allowed on all furniture and beds, for better snuggling. I have fenced yards made for the pups’ safety and security, and I own 28 surrounding acres of beautiful, pristine desert land, where pups can run, walk and play. There are no roads, traffic or passing cars. Dogs love the freedom of this exquisite area! I call it a Doggy Disneyland!
