“Amanda was so great with our boy! He’s typically pretty stand-offish with strangers, but seemed totally happy to see her in each picture! She even brought him a toy, as we completely forgot to unpack his before we left! Recommend for all cat pals!”
“Liz took care of my cat while I was out of town for a few days. She was a huge help, sending lots of pictures and updates, and made me feel much better about leaving her!”
“Kylee was amazing and took such good care of Espresso! The pictures were much appreciated, and she went above and beyond to make sure our cat got the exercise she needed. We’ll definitely book with Kylee for our next getaway!”
“Onyx was great, we had a few unexpected issues come up during the week (one cat didn't want to take his medicine and the batteries for the electric feeder died), and she helped find solutions to make sure everything was sorted out. She also cleaned up when they made messes, and was very communicative the whole time. I can't say enough good things about her, and I can't recommend her services enough!”
About: 20 plus years experienced caretaker. I've rescued, fostered and adopted senior pets, pregnant mamas, puppies and the like. I have experience with walks, overnights, administering meds, wound care and of course snuggles. I work a pretty flexible part time schedule of afternoon and early evening hours a few days a week that allows me to schedule visits as needed to accommodate your pets schedule. However I am instructed to do so by the owner. In my home, I have a fenced in yard, there is also a dog park in the community. I have animal crates if needed. Large and small depending upon what is needed. I also have a silly dog of my own at home as a companion.
“She's been so reliable and punctual and keeps in touch about everything! Even extra photos!! Thrilled with Sabrina! And my dogs are tired out at the end of day thanks to their mid day exercise!”
“Clementine and Basil were very happy that Ariel came to hang out and feed them while we were on Christmas vacation! Ariel sent us pictures and through updates and made sure to communicate the whole time. We will definitely rebook with her in the future!”
About: I have three dogs at home myself and love caring for them. I’ve previously worked at a dog daycare for a couple years and learned dog body language administering some medications and giving baths. I can help with feeding, providing exercise, bathing, administering medication, and ensuring that your animal with be safe and comfortable. I currently work part time and have flexibility with my current job that allows me to help care for your pet!! I am very flexible with days and times I will be needed to care for your pet. I have a big back yard for your dog to get it’s daily exercise I have three other dogs in my home to keep yours company!!
About: I’ve been helping care for two of my friends dogs for about 6 years. I’ve been trusted me to walk, feed, and occasionally bathe their pets. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and types, and I always do my best to follow their routines. Although I don’t have as much experience caring for cats and I’m always respectful of their space and take care of feeding, litter boxes, and playtime if they’re up for it.. I will do everything I can to make sure your pet is comfortable and happy. I am available all times of the day besides at night when I have soccer practice twice a week, so the pet will be kept on their normal schedule. I am an active person and enjoy taking the pet outside or on a walk if needed.
“Lexy is an amazing girl! Truly a pet lover, who knows how to deal with them! My skittish 2 "Covid present" cats don't trust other people. It was their "out of the house" 1st experience.... And Lexy earned their trust...Thank you Lexy! I will definitely recommend you and your service!”
“Lori was wonderful! She was timely and communicative about her visits with our cat. She brought in the mail and watered our plants. At our meet & greet, she asked good questions about things at our house like door locks, windows, lights and keys, how we wanted them handled between visits. And of course she took excellent care of Pye while we were away. I highly recommend Lori!!”
“Caitlynn is the absolute best. I have 3 crazy pitbulls and she handles them beautifully. They are not easy dogs to keep safe, but Caitlynn makes it look effortless. It’s been years since my husband and I have been able to travel, but now that we have Caitlynn in our lives there are many things that we can look forward to knowing we can count on her. She stayed for over 2 hours getting to know us, our home, and furbabies before we had her over. She really made sure we were all comfortable and we are so grateful for that. We love Caitlynn and can’t wait to have her back💖”

“Kim was so kind and excellent taking care of my dogs. During our vacation we had something tragic happen in our family. We had to come home early. Kim offered to help with the dogs and work around what was going on. That type of kindness is rare. We appreciate the great care she gave to our dogs and the compassion she showed us.”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life. I am a full time mom so I can’t commit to anything long term, but would be happy to do something every once in awhile. I can run and play and walk with your pet. I’ll talk to them and treat them with respect. I’ve had dogs and cats and have helped my sister take care of her pet bearded dragon. I’ve also helped taken care of a hamster and a hedge hog. I had a pet frog growing up that I also took care of. I have a large yard, so if needed I can bring your dog here to play and run for a little bit. I also live near Saratoga State Park - a great place to walk your dog.

Her own pet experience aside, she's great with all kinds of dogs: varying levels of aggression, elderly pups, puppies, and dogs with medical issues. She can be firm when necessary and the dogs love her! If I ever needed someone to take care of my dog (she has seizures and takes medication 2x/day) and love on her while I'm gone, I would ask Shawny in a heartbeat!”

She goes above and beyond the required task, and will do her absolute to make sure the animal she’s responsible with is in good care.”
