“Ashley is amazing. Reliable, responsive, flexible, trustworthy and incredibly kind. She did drop in visits for us for a week while we were away and sent us updates, pictures and videos and made us feel so comfortable knowing our girls were being cared for. Will definitely book with her again!”


“Caitlin was wonderful! She kept me updated the entire time and followed all of my instructions for my dog. He absolutely loved her, which gave me so much peace of mind. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

“Kelsey did a great job taking care of our cats while we were out of town. She was very responsive when we updated her with tips and last minute concerns with our cats. She updated us with pictures and made sure each of our cats was doing well while we were away. We will definitely be trusting Kelsey to care for our pets in the future.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my whole life. I’ve grew up with cats and dogs in my household. Volunteered with the humane society between 11-16 years old. Worked at the Animal Hospital from 18-23 years of age. So I have a lot of experience with animals I love all animals. My cats are considered family so I will treat your babies the same. I have experience with feeding, walking, baby-sitting, trimming nails, caring for, playing, and grooming/bathing family, friends, and co-workers animals. I work full time Monday thru Friday but my hours are very flexible. My weekends are completely free I don’t work the weekends at all. I do have an animal gate. But I can accommodate you in anyway you need. Just communicate what you need and we can figure it out.
“Bethany was an absolute lifesaver this weekend dropping in to check on my cats! One of my cats has a medical condition and needs medicine with her food, and the other, we discovered likely has severe anxiety issues when we leave town, because he was not nice to poor Bethany at all!! However, Bethany was so friendly and patient with both cats as well as myself!! I highly recommend her!!”
“Elizabeth was kind and patient with my two little rescues as we transitioned through our new scheduled ! I really loved all the photos. She is helpful and always prompt to respond.”

About: Hi! I am Kaitlyn! A Loving and dependable pet sitter experienced with dogs, cats (including seniors), and bunnies. I provide attentive, compassionate care and treat every pet like family. I have 2 dogs that live with me. They have lived with my family and i for the past 12 years. I am their primary caretaker, which requires me to do everything with them, walking them, feeding them administering medicine and of course, we cannot forget play playtime. In my home one of our senior dogs has diabetes and I have to give him insulin shots. Also he has to be taken out every 30 mins to a hour. In the past I have dog sat blind and deaf dogs so i have experience with that as well.
“Communicative, professional, and took great care of my crew… with a last minute and late night booking! I look forward to the peace of mind having Peyton house sit while we’re out of the country for 3 weeks coming up as well!”
