“She was an amazing sitter! She watched my 4-month old kitten Deon and made sure he was comfortable and cared for during his stay. She sent several updates throughout the day including photos and videos of him. When his time was up, she packed all his stuff up before I arrived to pick him up and had him ready for send off! I enjoyed sitting with her a bunch and will make sure to check with her first before other sitters!”
“Lacy did amazing taking care of our cats. They can be skiddish, and they eventually warmed up to her which was very comforting to us. She also went above and beyond by cleaning up throw-ups! Thanks Lacy!!”
“Ally did a great job taking care of our cat Bobbi. She is extremely organized and very loving. We loved the pictures of him playing. She understands how we love our fur babies.”
“I can never brag enough on Dawn, her punctuality, attentiveness, professionalism, and willing to be flexible and go above and beyond. She is a God send. Thank you Dawn. Great spirit🎈♥️🦮”
“I can’t thank Sally enough for all that she has done for my fur babies! She is so reliable, caring, communicative, and truly one of the people I trust most in the world with my fur babies! It feels like a blessing that we found Sally ❤️”
“Charity did another excellent job watching my three pets for several days for me! She is super reliable and always communicates with me, which I really appreciate. She truly goes above and beyond. When one of my pets starting running a little low on supplies early on in my trip, she went out of her way to pick up more for him! Thanks so much Charity!!”
“Megan helped us make this trip without worry. She was always there on time and her pictures showed that our cat was dealing with our absence Ok. That was such a comfort. We have already asked for her to care for our kitty again.”
“Brian was great! He adapted when I forgot to tell him which apartment was mine and went back to check in on my animals. He communicated very well, and was was easy to plan with!”
“Deborah was awesome 🤘 I had family issues that I needed to be present for and as a last minute request, she put me at ease with my two dogs. I hope one day she makes it a full time gig. She's an animal lover 😊”
“Knowing that my cats were in good care with Skylar helped me relax and enjoy my time away from home. My older cat tended to hide away, and I knew the younger, more gluttonous cat would eat his food if the older one stayed hidden. Skylar enticed the older one out of hiding and waited for him to finish eating before she left. We greatly appreciate her patience, attention to detail, and care for our fur babies. I love the photos she sent, too. The cats looked happy and well-loved when we came home! Thank you, Skylar!”
“Jennifer is a wonderful sitter and walker! She communicates clearly and reassuringly about how my pets are doing (one dog and two rats!) regardless of if she is just booked for one walk or a full boarding. She is clearly so passionate about the care that she gives and the animals that she is trusted with. She takes detailed note of any mentioned instructions and is almost too “by the book” at times with how conscientious and vigilant she is of the things i mention relating to my pets care! Incredibly trust worthy, patient, flexible and reassuring!”
“Highly recommend! Elizabeth did a check-in to feed my dog on a Saturday evening. She was punctual, thorough, kind & caring. She took Ellie on a walk and sent several pictures and detailed notes. I was so glad to know she was in good hands - I would absolutely recommend Elizabeth again and again.”
About: I have always been there and helped family and friends take care of their fur babies while away for vacation or emergencies of any kind. Looking to do this full time! I am available every day of the week! During holiday and summer breaks I will have my daughter with me to assist me. Your pet(s) will be in great hands while you are away! I will send updates and pictures on how your pet(s) while I am there. I offer playtime and walks. I can also help teach basic commands or potty training.
“Aimee is wonderful with our two fur babies! She takes them out for potty breaks and walks, and gives them lots of snuggles. When we can’t be home during the day, we always feel comfortable knowing Aimee is coming by.”
About: I have grown up with 5 bullmastiffs and helped out with caring for them. I also owned my very own puppy in college and took great care of her. I am flexible Monday through Friday all hours of the day! I am very flexible with time and will make sure to take great care! I care for my family’s dog very well. I feed her, play with her outside, give her a walk, and let her literally lay on me on the couch!
About: I love animals! I’ve owned and taken care of pets for family and friends often, and your pet will be treated like family! I’m usually available for pet sitting over the weekend now due to my job, but free to sit a lot over winter break and the summer! My daughters love helping with the dogs. Contact me for your weekend pet sitting needs. Can also give a 30 minute walk most afternoons!! Consider my services on holidays and throughout the summers. Also, can often provide boarding through the weeks depending on what day. I have a fenced in yard and 2 young girls who love pets that help me and treat your pets like their own! I’m very thorough and responsible with your instructions.
About: I’ve worked at two dog daycares and even at a zoo, so I’ve been around all kinds of animals! I’m CPR and first aid certified, and I can give meds if needed—even for seniors or picky pups. I’ve cared for everything from rowdy puppies to sweet older dogs, and I always treat them like they’re my own. Pet care is a big part of my everyday life. I spend 30 minutes to an hour each day exercising or training my dog, and I always make time for play and enrichment. At night, cuddling with my cats before bed is a must—it’s part of our routine! Caring for animals comes naturally to me, and I truly enjoy building those daily habits around their needs. Whether I’m in my home or yours, I stick closely to your pet’s usual routine to help them feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they get plenty of love, attention, exercise, and playtime. I’m confident with feeding schedules, medication, and cleaning up messes (hey, it happens!). If I’m at your home, I treat it with respect—keeping things tidy and making sure your pet gets all the care they’re used to. I send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet’s in good hands.

Stephanie is fantastic. My little dog Ginger was so excited to meet her and several of my seven cats took to her very quickly. Stephanie is very caring and knowledgeable. She is an excellent listener so I feel my fur babies will be in good care when I need a sitter. I'll definitely book with Stephanie if I need a sitter in the future.
