“Amy is truly a dog whisperer! My very barky and unsure husky mix warmed up to her within a few minutes and has been great for all the visits. Our other dog, a little beagle, has been a cuddle machine with her. I would recommend Amy with 10 stars if I could. We are definitely having her back!”
About: From puppies to seniors, I spent the last 15 years helping raise two adorable labs and I’ve been caring for animals since I could basically walk. These days, I share my home with Jepsen, my 4.5 year old cat, who loves waking me up in the middle of the night by turning on my HomePods when she thinks it's time I feed her... Whether it’s a high energy pup or a chill senior cat, I understand what each stage of life needs - patience, play, and plenty of care. I work from home, so I can give your pet the time, attention, and belly rubs they deserve. I’ve got a soft spot for animals of all kinds—honestly, how can you not love them, even when they’re being a little chaotic? I work from home full-time, which gives me the flexibility to fit pet care into my daily routine with relative ease. Whether it’s a mid-morning walk, an afternoon drop-in, or overnight stays, I can adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs. When I’m caring for pets in your home, their comfort and safety come first. I always follow your instructions closely. Whether it’s feeding routines, medication, crate time, or quirky habits that make your pet feel secure. For walks and drop-ins, I stay alert and focused, making sure your pet is safe and happy. For overnight stays, I treat your space with respect and keep things calm and consistent so your pet feels at ease while you’re away. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel cared for, and for you to feel 100% confident they’re in good hands.
“Amelia was absolutely awesome doing drop in visits for our two cats. She was attentive and kept the house and litter boxes in good shape. Me and my wife loved getting the daily updates with pictures. Amelia was even able to win over our very shy cat. Would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Daniel was great with my cat! Excellent communication with regular updates and photos. Very helpful and reliable. My cat was comfortable with him and everything went smoothly. Will definitely reach out again!”
“Andrew is our go-to sitter! He is consistent, communicates well, and always prioritizes hanging out with our cat. Highly recommend, and will continue to use him!”
“Shykala did a wonderful job taking care of my cat while I was out of town. She really took the time to bond with him and she provided detailed updates, including lots of photos. I'll definitely book with Shykala again in the future!”

“Cats both loved James! Playing with them and making sure their litter and water was fresh. He took good care of our home, doing the curtains to help maintain temperature for kitties”
About: I have both adopted and fostered young and senior dogs. The youngest dog I have fostered was 1 year old (Golden Retriever - 45 lbs) named Benny. The oldest dog I have cared for was my resident dog, Bubba (Black Lab/Husky Mix - 80 lbs) who I had for 4 years who recently passed away at 11. Dogs are my pride and joy! I work full time on the weekdays and am free on the weekends. I am available during the week sometimes after work. Willing to stay the weekend if needed. I treat dogs like I would my own. On walks I make sure I have everything we need before going out. I respect each pet and go with what they want to do. IE adhering to their boundaries. I am also great at following directions that the owner provides. I want all parties, pets, parents, and myself to feel comfortable.
“First time Rover couldn't have asked for a better experience Great communication came through in a pinch took time before the sitting to come meet JuJu and her relaxed approach kept him at ease Highly recommended”
“Jessica was great! Very friendly, communicative and made sure I received complete updates about my cats. I could tell they were cared for properly and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.”
About: I’ve watched family and friends dogs for years. I enjoy being the “go-to” person to watch their pets . Love caring for and playing with dogs, talking them on walks, and playing! I have some flexibility in my schedule during the weekdays . However, I can always do afternoons walks and care and availability full time on weekends. For longer I usually watch folks dogs in their home - if that’s the preference. If your puppy needs to be just walked and fed for just the day that’s also grand!
About: Hi! I’m Faith (she/her), a 34yo pre-k to 5th grade special education assistant looking to build a client base as a part-time pet care provider. I grew up with cats and dogs, and have always been an animal lover! I am patient, caring, active, and detail-oriented. It is important to me that both you and your pet feel at ease while your pet is in my care. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns you may have before deciding whether or not it would be a good fit. Something prospective clients should know is that I do not drive. A meet & greet in advance of your booking is a great time to discuss your preferences regarding how to handle transporting your pet to planned appointments, or in the unlikely event that emergency care is needed. The fewer unknowns, the better! On weekdays, I work 9:20am-4:05pm, so if your pet requires frequent potty breaks or mid-day medication administration, it may not be the best fit. Day job work schedule aside, pet care has been an integral part of my daily routine since childhood, so I am accustomed to adjusting my own schedule around feeding and potty break needs. When I am not working at school, a typical day for me includes playing bananagrams, writing poetry, and reading. Whether care is based from your home environment or mine, I make sure to keep things tidy and clean out of respect for you and your pet(s).
“Autumn did a great job on her visits with Mabel - she was able to come by on short notice to give some love and attention to my pup while I dealt with a family emergency outside the house. Her help was so valuable!”
About: Taking care of others' pets has been a small, yet meaningful part of my life. From occasionally taking care of my grandparents two dogs as a child, to having a small family dog through high school, to recently staying at a friends' place to comfort their cat while they're gone for the weekend. Not to mention, the walks with my brother's 75-pound, oh-so-lovable German Shepherd mix. Big dogs, small dogs, cats... they all have my heart. I am excited to meet yours and help when you need! :) I work your typical in-office 8-5 job, Monday through Friday. There is a bit of flexibility with hours, but the earliest I will go into work is 7 and the earliest I will leave work is 4 pm. Arrangements can be made on a case-by-case basis to go in late/leave early if needed. I have an hour for lunch and can leave campus, if needed. I am available on the weekends. I cannot host any pets in my own living space, but am willing to stay in your space with your pet or strictly stop in a few times a day. I am extremely open to giving walks and playing with your pets. All other essential needs for your pet will also be done to the best of my ability.
“Cambria is the absolute best pet sitter I could have asked for! Im incredibly thankful for her to be able to drop-in on my Luna and keep her company while I was away for an extended period of time. She sent me updates everyday including so many good pictures and was very communicative about how each visit went and what they did. 10000% would recommend and will be looking to her the next time I need a pet sitter!!”
“Kristin was a great visitor for my dog. She recognized her needs and was very good at communicating. I will definitely be contacting her again in the future!”

Biiftuu A.
“Biiftuu has my highest recommendation to care for your pup! She has a breadth of experience dog sitting, and takes extreme care when meeting the needs of each and every dog she 'sits. She prioritizes time spent with them, asks about and meets (or exceeds!) what makes them comfortable, and is responsive and receptive to pet parents in terms of meeting your preferences and needs when it comes to communication and your pup's care. She's a dog lover who prioritizes a good experience for your dog. I give her my highest recommendation!”
Faith G.
“I’ve known Faith my whole life as a responsible, energetic, and positive individual. Every pet she’s met has trusted her immediately, and her cardio-enthusiastic lifestyle will suit dog walking perfectly. She always takes her job seriously and will be a trustworthy person to leave dogs, keys, instructions with to get the job done as well as possible.”
