“Brandi took great care of my 2 cats while I was away for a week. As someone who gets very nervous about leaving my babies behind when traveling it was nice to know that they were in good hands ☺️”
“Charley is great!! I would absolutely recommend her to any friend of mine or anyone in need of a reliable and responsible person to take care of their cats or dogs! I love getting pictures of my cat when she does a drop-in! Having Charley stop by always gives us a peace of mind if we have to leave our cat for a few days. Thank you Charley!!!”
“Krystal was friendly and professional. She was patient and understanding with our shy cat. Even though the job was a simple daily drop-in to refill water and scoop the litter box, Krystal was reliable and thorough in her daily reports. I would definitely recommend hiring Krystal!”
“Joyce was so nice and communicative throughout the multiple days that she care for our cat Leo. She tried to play with him (he was having none of it) and administered his medications when she could (he hates it). By the end of the time of the booking, they made friends.”

She went above and beyond, not only making sure they were well cared for but also leaving my home even cleaner than when she arrived. Her daily updates were so thoughtful and reassuring, giving me total peace of mind. Plus, she has such a great vibe—I feel like we’d get along so well in everyday life! Thank you so much, Amanda!”

About: I have had dogs of many breeds my whole life. I have plenty of love and patience to give any animal I take care of. I'm not working, so I have plenty of time to care for someone's furry pet. I love giving animals the love and attention they give us. I keep my dog on a routine. She gets plenty of time for potty and playtime. We spend evenings doing snuggle time, belly rubs, and a snack.
About: Whether it's providing loving attention to dogs, or ensuring the happiness of felines, I offer expert pet sitting tailored to your pet’s unique needs. From feeding routines and exercise to specialized care and companionship, your pets will receive top-notch care while you're away. I have a flexible and open schedule, allowing me to offer pet sitting or walking services at times that are most convenient for you, whether it’s during the day, evenings, or weekends. With the time flexibility I have, I can tailor my care to your pet's specific routines, ensuring they're well-fed, exercised, and happy. I offer in-home pet sitting to keep your pet in their familiar environment, minimizing stress and maintaining their routine while you're away. I’ll also follow your pet’s daily routine, including feeding, walking, playtime, and administering medications if needed.
About: My whole life I’ve been around dogs. Practically everyone in my friends and family have a pup of varying sizes. I’ve been trusted to feed and walk their fur babies. My sister adopted a senior dog a couple of years ago, and it has been my biggest pleasure to get to know her better as well as what separates a senior dog from a younger one. I have been trusted to stay with her, take her outside to potty, take her on walks, and feed her whenever my sister is away. Each day is different, so I’ve been able to adapt on the fly to suit her needs for each day best. I have a flexible work schedule, so even though I have more traditional work hours, I can take 30 minutes or an hour to come visit with your pet and let them outside to walk or potty based on their needs. I do not work after 4pm, so if you need me overnight with your pet, they will have my full attention until 8am the next morning when I go to work. I am able to leave work briefly to check up on your pet during the day as well. I am someone who enjoys a clean space. Our furry friends deserve to have a clean space themselves and clean bodies. If there is mud to be wiped off of their paws, I will happily take care of it, and clean up any mud that was tracked inside. Anything that I can do to pamper your pet and make them feel safe around me is the least I can do. I look forward to making new furry friends!
About: Throughout my life I have always had a dog. I grew up with a black lab, and also currently have two little rat terriers. Growing up with dogs I know how to take care of them and also know how to interact and treat them well. I love taking dogs on walk and playing with them outside. I am a teacher so I am available early in the morning, all afternoon/night, and I am free weekends as well to take care of your pet. I am very loving and caring with animals and will treat your pet like they are my own. If you have any specific requests you would like to give me about your animal I would be more than happy to fulfill. I am a teacher who works from 7:30am to 2:45pm. I am free early in the morning as well as during the afternoon and at night. Weekends are normally free for me to take care of your pet. I love going on walks with dogs as well as popping in for a play date! Making sure your dog or cat has what they need would be a priority for me, and making sure they feel safe and you feel comfortable will be very important to me!
About: I grew up spending summers with my family and i helped take care of their dog when they were a puppy! I have helped train two puppies and i trained my own two year old dog i got from the shelter. I currently live with three dogs that i care for! I’m flexible for any schedule you and your furry friends! I work a few days a week, I can work any time on Monday and Thursday before 3pm! Every other day i am available! I take my dogs on daily walks so your dog could definitely come join! My husky is very friendly towards people and dogs! My whole family is full of dog lovers so your furry friends would give them all of the love they would need!

“I can’t recommend Brittany enough! From the moment we met, it was clear that she truly loves and understands animals. Tito warmed up to them instantly, and I could tell they were in great hands. While I was away, Brittany provided regular updates, including adorable pictures and detailed messages about how things were going. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my pup was not just being cared for but genuinely loved and spoiled. They went above and beyond—whether it was extra playtime, long walks, or just cuddles on the couch. If you’re looking for someone reliable, responsible, and wonderful with pets, look no further. I’ll definitely be booking Brittany again!”
Erin O.
“My family owns a weimarander dog and two cats. While on a week long vacation, I had the joy of having Erin watch over our pets. She took great care of them and consistently sent pictures of them to us as we traveled so it could feel like we were still with them. She was a friendly caregiver that we will be returning to in the future.”
Katherine M.
“Katie has watched two of my dogs multiple times and she has always done such a great job. She cares for them and loves them”
Greyson B.
“Greyson met all five of my dogs and I in one day and connected with everyone of us amazingly, he loved my big dogs, my medium dogs, and my elder dog and immediately asked if we could take them on some walks. Now that Greyson and I are closer and we live together I decided to let him become a parent to my dogs as well, because they love him just as much as they love me. I can truly say he enjoys taking the dogs on walks and caring for them because he thinks of it as a privilege and a stress reliever, not as a nuisance.”
