“Jacob was great visiting my elderly cat twice a day while I was away. He took good care of her and sent pics each visit. My house was nice and tidy when I returned and he even did some watering in my yard. I would highly recommend Jacob to sit your pet/s - he's also a very nice person!”

“Absolutely sweet and amazing with my baby! She brought my trash can to the curb and brought it back inside. Also grabbed my mail for me without me having to ask! Made sure my cat was safe, fed and asked any questions she has concerns for. Very thourough in her drop-ins!”
“Thanks for everything, Caden! sorry for the late review and tip. Was as professional as could be, and it looks like my cat liked his lap. Everything was left as it was, and he did everything I asked as far as my Smokey and his medications. Will definitely hire again if needed :-)”
“Jennifer is great! I have 4 totally different personality cats and they all love her!! My nervous cat who doesn't come out for many people and my 1 year old cat who hasn't had a good experience with other pet sitters did well with her yesterday! One of my cats is frequently pictured sitting in her lap!! Jennifer is great at communicating and asking questions when she sees something that needs attention ie a water fountain out of water. We all definitely love Jennifer and hope to use her for a really long time!!!”

About: I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats my whole life but starting in 2022 I started full time dog sitting. During 2024–2025, I worked at a pet daycare and boarding facility. I will walk, feed, and play with your pets as well as bathe them and administer medication if needed. I have also done overnight stays ranging anywhere from one night up to a month. I’m currently working a full time job, but will be available anytime Monday through Friday after 3pm. I have full availability on Saturday and Sunday. I will not be able to offer services in my place as my roommates have pets of their own but I’m open to going over to yours. If needed I can stay the night but would like to meet in person before doing so.

grayson o.
“Grayson took care of our dog for almost two weeks. They were very open to meeting us and our dog prior to our leaving. They were prompt to meetings and asked good questions regarding our dog’s needs. Grayson stayed at our home to care for our dog for the most part. Not only did Grayson take good care of our dog, but our home as well. We received photos and videos of our dog and text updates which we really appreciated. I highly recommend Grayson for future pet and home sitting. Thank you, Grayson!”
