Natalie is incredible! She not only spends time with my kitties but makes sure they are healthy and happy! She is so helpful with my Socket’s medical needs and makes me feel comfortable knowing they are well cared for while I’m away. Thank you again for another wonderful visit!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my deep compassion, patience, and experience with dogs who need extra attention—especially those with anxiety or special routines. I have hands-on experience caring for senior dogs, puppies, and pets who struggle with separation anxiety. My own dog, Sasha, has anxiety, so I understand the importance of gentle care, consistency, and emotional support. I treat every pet like family, and I’m committed to creating a calm, safe, and loving environment while you’re away. Whether your pup needs long walks, slow introductions, or just a cozy lap to nap on—I’ve got you covered! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I have Mondays and Tuesdays off, which gives me plenty of time for daytime walks and drop-ins. On other days, I’m able to fit in visits between school and work—and I don’t mind doing late-night drop-ins if your pet needs evening attention. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, so I’m happy to make it a priority in my schedule. I’m dependable, flexible, and always focused on making pets feel safe and loved while you’re away. I only offer pet care in the client’s home because I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable in their own familiar environment. I follow your pet’s routine closely—whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or administering medication. I respect your space, keep things tidy, and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. My goal is always to provide reliable, stress-free care that gives both you and your pet peace of mind.

Jamie is great with our puppy. She loves playing tug of war and chasing after balls. Jamie happily obliges her and lets us know how she did during each visit. Plus he is super responsive to scheduling requests! Would definitely recommend him!

Page was an AMAZING pet sitter for our two cats. She was so prompt and helpful when we first established service, and even came over once before our trip to get acquainted with our cats and see our supplies. She always texted before she came over, took awesome photos, followed our care instructions exactly, and even went above and beyond! Since we were away for a while, she swept up and wiped down surfaces occasionally to keep our cats comfortable. We will absolutely be booking with her again and wish we had found her sooner! Thank you so much again Page for your stellar work :)

About: Dogs are family. I have been lucky enough to have two in my lifetime, including Olive, my 12 year old cockapoo. From puppies to senior dogs, I have had experience loving, training, and playing with them throughout my life. I have a flexible work life, so I am able to build new clients and routines into my days as is necessary. I hope this flexibility helps my clients and their furry friends! Care for clients in the client's home include feeding, walking, organizing, light cleaning of pet-related messes, as well as simply spending time loving on your pet!

About: Hello! I am a BIG animal lover. Growing up, we always had pets in our home, ranging from cats, dogs, rabbits and mice to name a few. Recently our family dog of 14 years passed away and now I have only two cats Leo (16 years old) and Taz (5 years old). I'm looking to walk dogs or and cuddle and feed your cat. Reach out! Would love the opportunity to meet your pet! I am currently working from home and have a flexible schedule. I’m looking for dog walks at lunchtime and early evening and I'm also available most weekends. I am caring and trustworthy and would give your pet lots of love and care. Just let me know what you need and I will do my best.

Her report cards were such perfect pictures into their usual behavior, they not had us laughing at their antics but also feeling very sure that they were happy and comfortable in her care!

Kat did a great job taking care of Gunnar. She communicated very promptly and clearly from the first contact; we set up a meet and greet for the next day and then two days later she came and walked him while I was away. She clearly loves dogs and he instantly loved her back. I knew he was in good hands. I wouldn't hesitate to book her again and I recommend her highly to anyone looking for pet care.

About: Hi! I have grown up around dogs and cats since I was a kid. I had a mini Australian Shephard for 8 years. I have experience dog and house sitting for family and friends. This includes overnight stays, walks, feeding, playing, and administering medications when needed. I have had my cat Saylor for a year & half and live in a house with a total of 4 cats. I have volunteered at local animal shelters for years and spent a year volunteering at a local vet clinic. I have loved animals since I was a kid and am so excited at the chance of getting to care for your fur babies! I currently work full time but work from home on Monday's and Thursday's. I am available after 4:30pm through the week and have open availability on Saturday's and Sunday's. I can take dogs out on walks, check out the parks or hit the hiking trails. I have tons of cat toys at home that offer different kinds of stimulation and would be happy to play with your cat or kittens at home.
