1. Kaitlyn W.

“As usual, Kaitlyn is just wonderful with keeping us updated on how our kitties are doing when she visits. So reassuring when we go out of town!”


2. Erica G.


“We couldn't have done this long vacation without having good care and support at home for our three cats. We definitely have that with Erica. Erica's updates are thorough and timely, with lots of fun photos. She patiently got our grouchiest cat to warm up to her, and the other two cats quickly fell in love with her. She brings up concerns as they arise (for instance, one of our dudes horked, and she notified us to ask if it was an issue). Artie, Rio, and Goji say "100% recommend."”


3. Kayla W.

“Kayla is an animal-lover through and through! She is polite, professional, and was exceptionally kind to my bunny. I felt comfortable with her in my home, and welcomed her daughter (who is also and animal-lover) who befriended my sweet bunny! I got cute pictures, she followed all my crazy instructions, and left my pet and my space exactly how I asked her to. I will definitely go to Kayla next time I am in need of a pet sitter! 🙋🏻♀️”


4. Mikayla L.
“Mikayla is so good with my golden retriever Winston!!! She treats Winston like her own dog and I love the amount of pictures/videos she sends me when she’s watching him. He gets so excited to see her, which includes jumping on her and giving her many kisses. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my baby.”


5. Sydney M.

“Sydney did a great job! Our cats are not social with everyone, they were with Sydney. Sydney is easy to work with and is very responsive. She noticed a package arrived while we were away and she brought it inside as well. Thank you for taking such great care of our cats - it put our minds at ease. We will definitely book with Sydney again!”


6. Cynthia J.

“Cynthia did an amazing job with my girls. I had a last minute trip that came up and she was still willing to drive the extra distance to let my girls out and feed them. She also got some excellent pictures of them. Thanks again.”


7. Ashlee F.

“Ashlee is amazing. Very trustworthy and respectful. Her response time was amazing in assisting me with my pup. Highly recommend 🫡”


8. Larissa H.
“Larissa is a responsible, avid animal lover who goes to any extreme to ensure her animals are well cared for! I would highly recommend Larissa for any animal care!”


9. Chanse T.

“Chanse took excellent care of our two cats during drop-in visits and sent us pictures and updates of how the visits went each time. I would definitely recommend her, and will be booking her again.”


10. Delaney F.

“Delaney took care of my cat, Luna, while I was away for the holiday. She did a great job and my very aloof cat seemed to warm up to her quickly. Communication was great and I highly recommend her!”


11. Caitlyn T.

“Caitlyn was amazing. She came for a meet and greet prior to our first service and my 3 shy shepherds took to her right away. During her dropping visit she gave me a full update and sent adorable pictures. I could tell my boys were very comfortable with her even without my presence. I feel so lucky and relieved to have found such a reliable and professional pet sitter.”


12. Lauren L.


“Lauren is great! She is punctual, friendly, and great with all pets! Even with our cat being a brat, she managed to keep him happy while we were away. I would highly recommend! ?”


13. Stacy L.

“Great job, great with my finiky dog”

About: There's never been a time in my life where I've lived without at least a couple of critters running around, from cats and dogs to crustaceans and weasels. Though I've never made a profit off of looking after others' pets, I've spent a fair amount of time fostering, mainly cats and dogs, and volunteering at my local animal shelter. As a result, I have a lot of experience caring for senior pets who may have medical needs or temperamental issues and younger pets who may need a bit of extra training or encouragement. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I'm no stranger to caring for them. The best part is that I love doing it! I'm currently enrolled in school 9-5PM Monday through Friday, but I'm free to immediately head anywhere I'm needed and willing to spend the night if necessary. On weekends I'm completely free and would be more than happy to stay overnight! My home is overlooked by three older cats and one who turned a year old in July. The youngest is always looking to find a new companion, but the others keep to themselves. We previously had a doberman, so we have a large backyard with no toxic plants and a stainless steel wire leash that allows exploration of the entire yard. Pets will be supervised at all times, and I'd be more than willing to make any accommodations to make sure you feel safe leaving your furry companion with me.

“Lauren did a great job looking after our Gordo this weekend! He got lots of TLC and seems quite tuckered out from all of the fun they had together!”


16. Jordan H.

“I really appreciated Jordan’s communication and pictures he sent. My normally very shy cat warmed up to him right away, so that says something about his demeanor! I’d recommend him and would ask him to check in on her again.”


17. Danielle L.


“Danielle took very good care of our boy! Happy to use her services again!!”


18. Desirae W.
“Desirae is an awesome option for a care taker for your pets! She's diligent, playful and loving and I believe all pets in her care will be properly taken care of and loved. She enjoys spending her time outside and loving on all furry family members! I couldn't imagine anyone better to take care of your animals!”


19. Terri O.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 13yrs old, both young to old and small to big in size. My love for animals makes me pet owner’s #1 call. I have also volunteered my time at my local Humane Society where I use my photography skills to photograph animals for their website and any extra time was spent in playing in the cat room and getting the dogs outside for some play time. I’m hoping to take this career on full time so my availability is open to give you the opportunity to give your pet the care and attention it needs throughout the day. When your pet is with me they have my full attention whether we’re in your neighborhood or my own. My home is located in the country with trails we’ve made through our property to give pets a clear and safe path to roam while on leashes.

“Mariah is a dependable and responsible caregiver. My dogs LOVE her. She is very active, ensuring that my boys get plenty of exercise when they are with her.”
