“Michelle was awesome! She left us thorough recaps of her visits with both of our cats. She went above and beyond to make sure our cats were well taken care of while we were away.”


“Anna has consistently looked after my cat Julius whenever I am away and does an amazing job every time! I highly recommend Anna for any of your pet needs, she always provided timely updates with lots of photos from her visits so I can see how Julius is doing while I’m away.”


About: I always loved dogs, but growing up my parents would never let us get any. This led to me dog sitting and walking numerous neighborhood dogs from around 12 years old. Through the years, I've gotten a few dogs of my own and they are a handful, but I can't imagine life without them. The most recent addition, Toast the husky, has been a great lesson in the importance of consistent exercise and patient training, and this has carried through positively into our other dogs as well. I've also handled housetraining for multiple dogs now. Every day we do some sort of exercise with at least the husky. The other 2 are a little older so they don't go every single time, but the husky requires daily exercise, either to the park (which we go to regularly as it is less than 5 minutes away) or on a nice walk or hike. The happiest my dogs ever seem is when they are out on adventures with us, so I try to make that happen as much as possible. I have a 6ft high fenced-in yard. My wife and I work from home so we are always present and can let the dogs out regularly, on any schedule required. Our 3 dogs are very social with dogs outside, do great with other dogs in the house, and have been housetrained since they were puppies.

“Nicole did an excellent job taking care of our two cats while we were away. One of our cats is extremely shy and it did take a few days for him to show his face. but by the end he was letting Nicole pet him, and frankly I was shocked. Nicole provided daily updates, was very professional, and made us feel at ease leaving our little guys at home.”



“We were extremely pleased with Lila's exceptional care for our two cats while we were away. From thorough communication to professional conduct, she demonstrated genuine love for both cats. She dropped by twice each day to feed and play with them (providing photos and detailed notes during each visit), and they both warmed up to her quickly. We wholeheartedly recommend her services and are grateful for the peace of mind she provided during our trip. She went above and beyond with her care, and we will absolutely use her services again in the future!”


“This was our first time leaving our three cats home alone, and Holly and Marc gave us a lot of confidence that they would be well cared for. They spent extra time with our kitties to make sure they were okay, including some tricky care for our special needs older cat. Fantastic communication and adorable photos aplenty as well. Thank you again!”


“Chase and Sabrina ventured out in a snowstorm to do a meet and great with our puppy, and then helped me out with a last minute drop in. We have already re-booked them! Their communication is excellent, chase stayed even longer than we booked, and I know my pup is well cared for :)”


“I am so thankful to Maggie for watching our sweetish Monkey kitty while we were out of town. She was kind, attentive and conscientious with all of the instructions and requests, going above and beyond. We came home to a very clean litter box, which Monkey does not make easy. Would highly recommend her to watch your pets, too!!”


“Kasey is so so great! She made time to meet our two kitties before I left town and they absolutely loved her. She also went above and beyond to take care of them while we were gone. We will definitely book her for our next trip! :)”


“Julia was awesome watching our cat while we were away for 16 days. She easily connected with her, gave her lots of attention and sent cute pics everyday while we were gone. She was very responsive and proactive with communication. I highly recommend Julia and we will use her for future trips to watch our cat :-)”


About: Hello, I’m Alex! I’m a single mom of 2 boys (3 and 8) so they will be with me during all pet-care. They love all pets and are great with them as well as extremely gentle. I work from home full-time so would be able to watch your fur babies at my home and give them potty breaks whenever needed. Not only that, but my boys would love to be able to have a friend to play with during the day since they stay home with me. We have lots of experiences with dog and cat care. We would love the opportunity to take care of and love on your sweet pets! I work full-time from home and have 2 sons that stay home with me until school starts. Because of that, we are extremely flexible during the week! We enjoy being out in nature on the weekends, and are open to take your pet along on our adventures! I live in a ground floor apartment with my own entrance on both sides. I do not have a yard, but my apartment complex is pet-friendly and has wonderful trails surrounding it as well as plenty of grassy areas. There is also a park right down the street that we enjoy walking to get often.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life, all large dogs. I’ve become the reliable dog sitter for all of my friends until I can get a dog if my own. I currently work from home and have a very flexible work schedule. It is easy for my to step away during the day to walk and take breaks. I sadly am not allowed to have pets in my rental house, but I am happy to pick up your dog and take it on long walks or runs.

“Roberta was a wonderful sitter for our Whippet pup. She came during a very last minute request and stayed with him for a few hours. He was nice and happy when I returned home so I know the visit went well. We will love to have her keep an eye on him again in the future. I recommend her! 😊 Thanks again Roberta!”
