“Jessica took good care of my two cats and my kitchen while I was away. She was flexible in returning my key the following day in case my late-night flight was cancelled. She took pictures daily showing that even my shy cat gave her the thumbs up.”
“Ariel did a fantastic job taking care of my kitties while I was away! She’s great at communicating with me and provides a lot of attention and affection during her drops. She is a pleasure to work with!!”
“Oh my goodness! Sarah is the best pet sitter ever! She is a rock star! She was able to bring my very shy, “nobody will see me” cat out of her shell. Sarah had my cat holding her arm begging for more attention! She is a life saver and an angel for me. The peace of mind and daily reports she provides are thorough and invaluable! Thank you! Thank you, Sarah!”
“Addie was very attentive to Riggins and he was content when I returned from my trip. I appreciated all the photos she sent while I was away. She kindly brought in my garbage and recycling bins from the curb as well.”
“Margaret went above and beyond for our drop-ins. During our travel, she assisted with providing insight on some home issues occurring in our absence. She provided pictures and updates as needed when various service providers remedied the issues. All the while taking exceptional care of our babies. She sent so many pictures and videos to keep us updated on their wellbeing. Additionally, she changed the two liter boxes, refilled water fountain, and feeder while we were away. Will definitely book with her again!”
“Haley did a wonderful job checking in on our Alfie! She ensured he was fed, cleaned out his litter box and disposed of the waste appropriately, played with him, and made sure he got plenty of his favorite chin scratches! This is our second time booking with Haley and we definitely plan on using her again in the future!”

About: I’ve lived with mini schnauzers my whole life and love dogs! I’ve volunteered at humane societies for years & have provided care for all the needs of all kinds of breeds. I’d be honored to care for your pet! I’m a balance of homebody and active, so I would love to show up in the way that works best for your pet — whether that’s helping them experience enrichment at home, or taking them on longer walks if that’s something you/they would like! I’m comfortable with dogs of any age and size and available to do multiple visits/walks per day if needed! I’m very attentive on walks as well, as I have experience with more reactive dogs and dogs that like to put anything into their mouths for consumption. I’d love to know about your dog’s personality and any specific needs — food or otherwise, so that I can give them the best possible care.
“Taylor did a great job dropping in to care for our senior cats! Their care instructions are fairly detailed and Taylor had no problem rising to the occasion, and sending us adorable pictures along the way. Would highly recommend Taylor for your pet care!”
About: I have taken care of dogs throughout my life. From being certified as an adolescent to train for obedience and therapy. I also raise Cane Coros/english mastiffs. I have patience with anything that has paws! I do work full time. But I incorporate everyone’s schedules into mine. Whether that means I wake up earlier or go to bed later, to ensure everyone is taken care of. I have a pet friendly house hold. This includes my own animals who are crate trained. Pets are allowed to rest in the safety of their crates or the comfort of the couches. My own pets sleep in crates while they listen and watch their favorite Netflix shows!

Tracy was awesome! We were anxious leaving our little guy for the week, but she helped alleviate those worries by sending pic and video updates. She stayed in touch and even sang to him! We definitely will be using her services again whenever we need them.
Madison is a great sitter! She made sure to come over and meet Gizmo beforehand and to get to know him. From the pictures that she sent, it was obvious that Gizmo was very comfortable with her & enjoyed having her company during the designated drop ins! Also, I love it that she lives nearby so the security of having a sitter nearby in case something happens while I'm away is also great. Will definitely be booking Madison in the future :)
