“We’re so happy we found Elizabeth! Both our dog and our cat trusted her right away, and when we came back from our trip, they were both calm and relaxed. It gave us so much peace of mind to know they had company while we were away. She stayed at our home, everything was great with the house too, and we absolutely recommend her 🙌🏻”



“We have used Cheryl a number of times for in-home stays for our two elderly dogs and young cat. She is an excellent care taker for all of them. She is at the house full- time and sends us pictures every day. Our dogs love her! I highly recommend her and she is our go-to person whenever we travel. She is extremely responsible and takes her job very seriously.”

About: With over 15 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, including seniors, I provide personalized attention to ensure each pet’s well-being. My services encompass feeding, exercise, administering medications, and companionship. I understand the unique needs of older pets, such as providing comfortable resting areas and gentle exercise routines to maintain their health and mobility. I treat every pet as if they were my own, prioritizing their safety and happiness. I work from home full time. I’m available weekday mornings and midday (with advance notice). On weekend days schedule is flexible to accommodate your pet’s needs. I will ensure your pet’s safety and meet all their needs, whether that means crating them or providing close supervision—whatever keeps them comfortable and secure.

“This was the first time using this service for me. I was very apprehensive and worried about leaving my dogs. I have a 13 yr old senior who has hind leg issues and is slow to get around. I was so worried he wouldn’t do well if I left him. I also have a high energy, excessive barking dog. She wears a humane bark collar but I was worried it wouldn’t work or she’d still be super hyper on it. Jamie reassured me that it was working great and there were no issues. Jamie gave me text and picture updates and completely alleviated my fears and worries. She takes great care and is very compassionate with the animals and the owners. I would recommend her to everyone and definitely hire her again.”


“Alaina was very communicative throughout her stay with Charlie. He was well cared for and loved while we were away. The house was clean upon return and the linens had been washed and dried. We will definitely contact Alaina again. It was a great experience!!!!”


About: Skilled pet sitter with 3 years of experience. I sincerely enjoy spending time with all animals and I strive to treat every cat or dog as if they were my own! Happy to help when and where I'm needed along with providing any critical care that may be required. Please know that I will gladly spoil your pet to the fullest extent (: I'm currently working part-time while also being in the Army National Guard! I tend to be free majority of the week and normally the weekends as well if I don't have drill. Please feel free to message me with any availability inquiries that you may have (: If boarding, I have a fenced in yard along with a spacious home that includes french doors that I can close off from the rest of my house in case I'm babysitting a small kitten or puppy that may require a watchful eye!

“Nikki is amazing! We have a pup that has a lot of anxiety so it’s always nerve racking leaving him with someone new. He warmed up to her almost instantly! She has great communication and left the house nicer than when we left. Highly recommend her!”


About: After a tragically pet-free childhood, I've spent the last 20 years seeking out any opportunity to care for animals—from free dog walking for friends and cat-sitting for vacationing pals to hiking with hounds and being a designated vet chauffeur. I love exploring the outdoors with a dog, chucking sticks across empty fields, and praising them for every "good stretch"! I do everything I can to make pet parents feel comfortable and assured when they leave their furry friends in my care—including plenty of photos and updates! I work from home as a writer/editor and a live-edge woodworker, so my schedule is entirely flexible and under my control. I have a fenced-in backyard with ample shade where I often write and work, so outside time is always available for the animals I care for. I love walking the city and wandering through green spaces, especially Audubon Park and City Park, and having a puppy pal to accompany me makes it even more enjoyable. My interior home space is approximately 1,800 square feet, with multiple couches and rooms and sunspots for dogs and/or cats to relax and lounge. The fenced-in backyard is well-secured with a 6-foot fence for stress-free bathroom breaks, and my active lifestyle takes me on at least 2 longer walks each day, typically in the morning and evening. At a client's home, I pride myself on being highly adaptable to new routines and expectations, and my career as an editor makes me very attentive to details, e.g., medication needs, feeding times, sleep schedules, walk durations, etc. Whether you need someone to pop in and play with your pooch for an hour, or leave your animal at my home for a longer trip, you can rest assured they will be cared for, loved and pampered in a safe and comfortable environment.

“Caitlin was great with my two dogs. Even my very skittish, afraid of his own shadow, dog was accepting. Communication was great. Sent lots of pictures. I was able to relax and enjoy all of my daughter’s wedding festivities knowing my dogs were in good hands. Would not hesitate to use Caitlin again.”

“Shelby was great! I was a little worried leaving my dog for a week because he usually stays with family/friends. Shelby sent me daily updates and pictures which made me much more at ease and I could enjoy my trip. He got daily walks/activities when it was extra rainy. She was very responsive and stayed in touch when I thought my flight would be delayed, she was available to continue watching him if needed. I would 100% leave him with Shelby again.”
