“Emily is simply amazing! She is communicative and gives awesome updates. There was no doubt in our mind that our furbabies were being cared for with the utmost care. She went above and beyond our expectations and previous sitters. Highly highly recommend Emily for your pet sitting needs!!”
“Kathy is wonderful! She came to meet Mia prior to her first visit and this made us feel so much better since we’ve never used a service like this before. She communicates great and you can tell she truly loves dogs. Our puppy Mia loves her!”
“Very personable, passionate about animals, and eager to meet my kitties. I think it's a great touch that a meet and greet was offered prior to accepting the appointment. Illustrates the flexibility and compassion required to care for my kitties. Having knowledge and the ability to give my special needs cat medication was a huge plus! Would absolutely hire again!”

“Kylee did an amazing 👏 job with my two cats. She was able to find them in their hiding places and that was no easy task, lol. She got to know them. I was impressed how much she cared and enjoyed her time visiting and playing with them while feeding, changing the litter and refilling the water. She loves animals! She is my cat sitter!”
“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!”
“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.
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.

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.
About: What does one to one pet care mean? It means that I provide individualized care for your dog, and that I will only care for one dog at a time in my home. Whether in my home or your home, your fur babies will be my number one priority. Dogs have been part of my family for most of the past 25+ years. I’ve also taken care of pets for neighbors and friends. My experience includes care for senior dogs and dogs with special needs. I am comfortable caring for reactive dogs, and have cared for dogs who are reactive around people and other dogs. I believe that all dogs are special and there is a special place in my heart for all furry friends. I work remotely, and am available to take care of your dog in my home or yours. I have a lot of flexibility regarding my schedule, and so it will be very easy for me to care for your pet while you are away. Dogs who I care for in my home are part of my family. I treat each dog as an individual and will accommodate their special personalities and needs. I only take care of one dog at a time in my home, where there is a quiet home environment, with no children or other pets. Whether in my home, or yours, your dog will be my number one concern!
“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.”

Addy L.Star Sitter
“I have known Adrienne for over 10 years. During that time she adopted 2 elderly hard-to-place dogs who had special needs. She provided them with a loving home where they lived out their final years in a safe, caring environment, enjoying treats, cuddles, and walks in quiet areas where they felt as safe and comfortable as they they could. Adrienne seems to have an intuitive understanding of what dogs need to feel safe, and compassionately meets those needs. I am more of a cat person but if I had a dog I would not hesitate to leave it in Adrienne’s care.”
