“I'm so lucky to have found Ami. She was caring, my puppy loves her from the start. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog in her care. She was also very punctual and sent constant updates and great pictures.”

“We had a great experience with Rachael! She was able to accommodate our last-minute request, was incredibly flexible with timing, and made the entire process stress-free. Most importantly, we felt completely confident that our puppy, Zeke, and cat, Ophie, were in excellent hands. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were being well cared for while we were away. We would happily book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”

About: I used to babysit for my best friend's family who had three cats and one very active poodle. As well as I've had many pets of my own; cats, dogs guinea pigs, hamsters, you name it. My mother used to be a police dog trainer so i'm very good at handling bigger dogs. I'm very flexible when it comes to time and will work around your schedule. I'm currently home from college for spring break and my time is very open for both weekends and weekdays. My working hours start at 7am and go till 11pm. (But I can fluctuate with your schedule) I have a fenced backyard. And one very friendly small/medium dog, he's a little shy, but he gets along with everyone. I believe that our pet should be treated like family members. Walks, treats, attention and lots of love.
“Jordan always goes above and beyond when watching Sam. I know that Sam is in great hands with Jordan and will have a great time. Can't wait to rebook with Jordan again.”

“Emily is a great sitter! My fur kids have a good time hanging out with her and her dog Parker when she house sits for us. She’s a good communicator, takes the pets’ needs seriously, and she is reliable. Thanks again, Emily!”

“Amanda has been amazing! She’s done a couple of drop-ins for me to give my cat her medication, and did a long weekend stay at my house. She left my place in the same state it was in when I left, and provided updates at the end of each visit.”
About: Dog mom for the past 8 years and recently lost my girl to cancer. I'd be happy to love on your pup while you're away! I'm a full time teacher so only available for pet care on weekends and breaks during the school year but have full availability in summer. I love having dogs in my house where they can have their own bedroom space or share my room. 1.9 acres next to the rail trail means lots of walks and time spent outside. I also love helping pets work on their manners and good training habits and am happy to help dogs with specific behavior challenges or needs.
“Grace was fantastic! She was warm, bubbly, and instantly connected with our dogs—they were snuggling with her before we even left the garage. She was incredibly flexible and kept us updated with pictures throughout the stay. She gave us so much peace of mind, especially with our 14-year-old senior dog. We’d love to have her back anytime!”

“Tatyana is wonderful to work with and is super responsible and reliable. She is a great communicator and sends us lots of pictures of Sasha while we are away. We will definitely be reaching out to her again soon for more cat sitting in our home. She is the best.”

About: Hey! I'm Kaliyah, though I'd prefer to be called Lynx. I've always been an animal lover at heart. I had a lot of pets growing up. Since I was five years old, I've cared for cats, dogs, even geckos! I'm comfortable with all sizes and personalities, whether it's sassy or affectionate cats, playful or stubborn dogs, or anything in between! I know both cat and dog body language like the back of my hand. I have experience with seniors as well and am happy to learn whatever I need to keep your furry friend happy! I'm taking a break from school and work right now so I can focus on my IOP, which takes place 12-3 on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Aside from that, I'm free any time of day, as well as flexible! I also plan on returning to school when possible to become an auto mechanic. I can't wait to meet your pets! I'm currently taking a break from work and school for my mental health so I'll have plenty of time to look after your furry friend! I currently co-own a great pyrenees with my dad, meaning I have experience with stubborn, large, long haired dogs. I live with several pets, meaning I know how to safely break up fights when necessary.
About: Every dog I met I treat like my own. I have fostered many dogs over the past 6 years, along with taking care of my own active dog. With fostering I have been able to train and get each dog out of their shell to find their forever home. I am also very comfortable with any size pup. I am available to walk your pup nights and weekends. I would also be able to stop in if needed on my lunch break during the day for a walk. I am also available to pet sit any day of the week 🙂 Every pup I treat like my own. I have basic first aid knowledge so I can take the best care of your pup if needed.
“What a dear person. Nadine is a natural with knowledge and a love of animals. She showed great judgement, and was kind enough to let me know when our cat was in for the night. She was thoughtful, and clearly is great with animals. Our cat was thoroughly in love.”
“Haley did a great job taking care of our cats while we are away. One our cats got sick while we were away and she provided us with details updates and pictures to make sure we knew what was going on.”

About: I've been around dogs my entire life. At about 5 years old, my father adopted my grandfather's two Beagles and they quickly became my best friends. Today, I have 2 dogs at home, one that's 17 and one that's 7. And still they're my best friends. For as much as I love dogs, it really does feel like they love me back. Whenever I go over anyone's house I hear " Wow he never behaves this well around people normally." Each dog is so unique and the most fun thing for me is learning what makes them wag their little tails! I work from home from my apartment and only have one roommate so I'm incredibly flexible when it comes to scheduling. I'm sure that I could make just about anything work given a small notice. I have a two room apartment and a kitchen. Playing and feeding is easy for me in the apartment, but I also have a park right near me, about a 5 minute walk away.

About: I’ve taken care of a tons of breeds of pups. I have taken care of dogs from puppies to older dogs as old as 17 years old. I have been taking care of dogs ever since I was little. I am able to walk, feed, play fetch, provide overnight care, and make sure your home is safe and sound while you need assistance. I look forward to meeting your pups! I’m able to provide care for your pups as I have a flexible schedule and am able to work around when you need assistance with your pups! I will care for your pets and give them attention constantly. I wake up early and feed them, and make sure they are all set for the day. I will snuggle with them and make sure they are safe :)
“We found Christopher to be very reliable and caring while pet sitting our two Australian Shepherds, Winston and Ruby. Winston is on several meds for pancreatitis and is a challenge when he does not want to take his meds. Winston became ill and Chris phoned us right away. Chris was able to handle the situation in getting Winston out of pain in a matter of a few minutes. By the time we got back home, Winston was his old self again. Thank you, Chris! We would highly recommend Christopher for any pet sitting. He truly loves animals and has a caring heart.”

“Yes, yes, Karen took great care of our pet, Cinder, and our home while she was here. Easy communicator, responsible, and kind. I am so glad to have found Karen and look forward to calling on her again!”
