“Renee was great. Excellent communication in setting up the sit. Very personable and flexible. Chewie had a comfortable stay and we will definitely use Renee again!!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Josh is absolutely amazing! He has taken care of our dog, Cinder Block, multiple times now, and every single time has been flawless. Cinder gets SO excited the moment we even pull onto Josh’s street, he practically loses his mind with joy! That alone tells us everything we need to know. Josh is incredibly attentive, caring, and makes sure all the dogs in his care are not only safe but also having the time of their lives. We couldn’t ask for a better sitter. Highly recommnded!”
“This was the first time using someone to watch my 5 mo old puppy. So glad to have found Linda! Grace was well taken care of and came home exhausted after a day of play.”

About: Now offering "budget" visits! Sometimes your cat just needs a litter box refresh and food/water check or medication and doesn't want to interact with a sitter. I get it--one of my cats is like that! Depending on your location, I'm happy to offer a "budget" visit where the necessities will be addressed but in a shorter timeframe. 10 min for $10 or $12 for 15 min visit. Standard cat drop-in visits are $20 for 30 min. To book a budget visit, please book visits as a "regular" visit, and depending on your location and needs, I will approve and adjust your rate accordingly. About Me I've grown up with cats and currently have two senior cats, and our second puppy since December 2023. Rover is my way of helping my kids with an entrepreneurial adventure, especially during the summer. I do some visits solo (or if you request), otherwise I usually have kids with me. They are learning a lot about customer service, pet care, and money in the process. C A T S : Able to host overnight at $35/night. I can give medications including insulin shots, brush teeth, or brush your cat daily or as needed. Litter boxes, beds/perches and water provided. Please provide food your cat thrives on best for their stay. For drop-in cat visits, I will feed whatever food you provide for your cat--wet, raw, kibble, and/or exact portions as needed. Litter boxes will get a thorough sift, and water will be changed. I will do a quick barf/hairball scan of pet zone as so you don't have to come home to unexpected messes. D O G S: Walks can be 30, 45, or 60 minute routes. D R O P - I N V I S I T S : I will let your dog get some fresh air, food, and playtime and petted/brushed. I will also check area dog is staying while you are out for any mischief and messes and clean up as necessary. B O A R D I N G : We are not boarding dogs at this time unless your dog is on our "VIP" dog list. :-) We are able to do drop-in visits and dog walks year round and potentially board based on meet and greet assessment. We can board cats year round. My kids have learned to respect animals and see them as individuals with their own preferences and personalities. For the safety of all in my keep, I only board/daycare animals from one household at a time. All guests are kept in a separate area of the house from my pets.
“Would recommend Gretchen. Received updates and pictures during our dog Nellie's day stay and was flexible with the timing of dropoff/pickup. She has a sweet dog that got along with our's well and Nellie got to walk and explore.”
About: I'm Amanda, 27, a yoga instructor and a full time animal lover! Growing up, my sister and I used to save strays and find them better homes, sometimes we were lucky enough to convince our parents to keep them. I’ve always had dogs and cats growing up because our family is full of nurturing individuals. I have babysat and taken care of relatives and friends animals throughout the years and know that each animal needs a different type of care considering each one has a special characteristics that define them. I make sure they use the bathroom or are taken out every two-three hours. Walks are a must, knowing animals have a lot of energy that needs to be released. I have a mini Australian Shepherd, Ezra who is a 3 years old, and love other animals and cats. Speaking of cats, I have my 6 year old cat Veda as well. I currently work part time, so I will have a ton of time to play with the pups and/or cats. I have three dogs of my own that it’s a habit by now! I have a yard (fenced) and one other fur baby to keep them company! Fed twice a day and let out four times a day with surrounding nature for some hikes and walks to get the energy out!
About: I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, administering medications orally and topically, cats, reptiles, large mammals, and more! Happy to learn what makes your pet an individual. I work from home full time, which allows me to love on your pets even more! whether that’s going to your place during the day or them coming here, whatever works. My cats love company and I am more than happy to travel to your place. I love walks and will be so happy to take your dog on an adventure!
About: I genuinely do care for animals a lot. I love seeing their little personalities lol. I will do my best to show your pet love and friendliness. 4 repeat pet parents 100% response rate Usually responds in a few minutes 100% bookings with photo updates I'm a retired US Marine. So this is a great way to help some people and animals out. Also a way to make extra money. I will treat each pet with love and care. Your pet will be cared for as if it were my own animal. Can't wait to see you
