“Cole did fantastic with my less than friendly to strangers kitties. He went out of the way to make them feel comfortable with his presence and he did absolutely everything I requested!!”


“Shelby was great! She was at ease with my two cats from the moment she met them, and she did a great job checking in on them while I was away. I’ve already re-booked to have her feed them during my next, longer trip out of town.”


“Emma is an absolutely wonderful pet sitter! She was totally reliable, sent me great updates (including about how much my picky eater ate at each meal), sent loads of pictures every day, and most importantly took perfect care of my dogs. I couldn't dream of a better pet sitter! Hire Emma and put your mind at ease!”


“Very thankful for Mia for looking after our cat while we were out of town for several weeks! She was really great in communicating any questions for clarification on things and I really appreciated her coming to meet our kitty before booking to be acquainted with him and his environment. Would highly recommend”


“Chelsea has been very patient with my dog, who has been a bit nervous after being bitten by a dog. She gently encourages him to do things that he wouldn't otherwise do. Thank you Chelsea!”


“Anna did a wonderful job watching our cat! She was consistently on time and reliable, and bonded with our kitty too. She followed my instructions exactly and left the home clean as well. She made extra effort for play time and snuggles. I would recommend Anna to every cat family that needs a caring sitter.”


“Fantastic drop in visit with our three dogs! They got plenty of exercise and affection and we got plenty of doggy pictures. I think the dogs want us to leave again so their new best friend comes back! 😂”


“Gretchen was amazing with our kitten! He’s very skittish around new people but hates being alone because he’s used to my husband and I working from home. Gretchen gained his trust on the first visit and sent us pictures of them playing every day. We felt so much better knowing he had someone to keep him company while we were away!”


About: I always loved dogs, but growing up my parents would never let us get any. This led to me dog sitting and walking numerous neighborhood dogs from around 12 years old. Through the years, I've gotten a few dogs of my own and they are a handful, but I can't imagine life without them. The most recent addition, Toast the husky, has been a great lesson in the importance of consistent exercise and patient training, and this has carried through positively into our other dogs as well. I've also handled housetraining for multiple dogs now. Every day we do some sort of exercise with at least the husky. The other 2 are a little older so they don't go every single time, but the husky requires daily exercise, either to the park (which we go to regularly as it is less than 5 minutes away) or on a nice walk or hike. The happiest my dogs ever seem is when they are out on adventures with us, so I try to make that happen as much as possible. I have a 6ft high fenced-in yard. My wife and I work from home so we are always present and can let the dogs out regularly, on any schedule required. Our 3 dogs are very social with dogs outside, do great with other dogs in the house, and have been housetrained since they were puppies.

“Zoe & Ava did a great job watching our 3 cats for a week while we were traveling internationally. During one of their visits they found an issue with one of our feeding devices. They communicated the issue well and were able to resolve it promptly! I would recommend!”



About: There was a gap from when I was last on here! Sorry, so anyways, starving to care for your furry friends and family members! I get along with all kinds. I have house and pet sat for friends while out of state and was brought up with many, many animals. I don’t become heightened myself with vocal dogs and have experience with all dietary specializations. I have a sneaking suspicion i’m who you’re looking for when it comes to an exceptional carer. I’m currently in CNA course and so glad to put your pawed family first priority around that schedule. No distraction or interference, your family comes first. :) I try and keep with rituals and follow action steps each day. If I have a question I communicate how you like. I keep regular communications, you know, to send photos and shorts of pets on walks, relaxing, and spent after a day in the sun, or what have you.

His dedication to feeding his dogs the best food, catering to their sensitive stomachs, daily park time or hikes, and willingness to stop everything to take care of them are what make him special. He always stops to pet any animal he comes across, and spends time actually getting to know his clients and their needs/preferences. He has one of those attitudes that makes him approachable, understanding, and capable of effectively communicating with anyone he comes across. He's absolutely my go-to for all things pet related and I can't recommend his services enough!”

Alex is fantastic! She swooped in after we made a last minute request and made us and (most importantly) our dogs feel so comfortable. She’s clearly a huge animal person and has that special combination of caring and competence that’s needed, especially with puppy. She’s a great communicator and sent the best photos. We’ll definitely be working with Alex again!

Mackenzie is fantastic! She was very responsive and flexible when initially booking. We reached out to her with very short notice and she was very accommodating to make time to do a meet and greet before our schedule trip. She showed up on time for each of our pups check ins and spent the full amount of time with them. I felt such peace of mind leaving our dogs in her care. I would absolutely use her again and recommend her for anyone else looking for care for their animals. She is wonderful.

Peggy is super nice and she was great with our two kitties (12 and 5)! They warmed up to her immediately and we enjoyed the daily photos and videos she sent us. Peggy was also happy to water our flowers while we were away during the blistering heat, which was greatly appreciated. Highly recommend her for your next getaway! Thanks Peggy!!

Cristina was so great with our sometimes not-so-friendly feline. She was patient and showed extra care! I would absolutely consider her an above-and-beyond kitty sitter. Plus, the litter area was spotless and the house well looked after. We so appreciate having found her!

Heather took wonderful care of our cat, Tucker, and I would highly recommend her! She was communicative, friendly, and clearly loves every animal like they were her own. She sent the cutest pictures and spent lots of time with him while we were gone on a long trip.

Bryn did a great job watching our two indoor cats while we were away for a few weeks. She sent texts with updates and pictures, which my daughters loved seeing. When we returned home, we could tell the cats had been well-looked after. They were not stressed nor desperate to be fed. Their food area was tidy and well-stocked. Their water bowls were clean and full. Their kitty litter was also in great shape. We're so grateful for Bryn's attentiveness. Definitely consider hiring her!
