Leah did a phenomenal job watching my dog, Denver. From the start, she was incredibly communicative and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She kept me updated, was very kind, and it was clear Denver was in great hands the entire time. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. 10/10 experience, and I would most definitely book with her again in the future.

Sharon took care of my three cats like they were her own. She went to great lengths to spend time with them at her visits and followed my directions explicitly. She administered insulin to my diabetic cat twice daily and made sure he was perfectly cared for. There is no price you can put on the security of knowing your babies are safe and cared for

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my whole life. I have always loved animals and even made a career out of it. I am a wildlife biologist. I have a sweet girl named Bell at home who is lovable and playful. I will treat your furbabies with the same kind of love I treat my own and guarantee this treatment for any animal I encounter. I get off of work at 3 pm M-F and right after work I always take my own fur baby to the dog park for at least an hour. I live in a house with 4 furbabies that all have their own special needs. In a clients home, I will treat their home like fine china and their pets like my own ,with lots of care and love.

About: I am a mature, flexible retired RN who loves all animals. I’ve taken care of cats, dogs and non-traditional pets. I have a penchant for setting the pets and the pet parents at ease! I’m happy to keep your pet(s) company so they are not lonely while you are away! I perform the usual services: take the dogs out, clean the kitty litter daily, feed & provide fresh water on their schedule, keep them safe and give them treats, if allowed. There’s time for snuggles, playtime & exercise. I will go above & beyond to meet your needs.for pet care. I have experience with senior & young pets. I can accommodate special diets, medications and special needs. I have experience with a blind senior dog and many rescue dogs and cats with emotional, as well as physical needs. I am attuned and equipped to handle medical problems that may arise and would contact you immediately in an emergency. I can perform first aid on mammals if needed. I am available for drop-in visits or overnight stays, depending on your preference. For drop-ins I can come M-F mornings, late afternoons and anytime on weekends. I’m happy to do a meet & greet before you leave to assure you are comfortable. I look forward to working with you and your awesome pets!! I am free most weekdays, weekends and holidays. My standing commitments are from 10am to 1pm M-F, so pet sitting can easily be scheduled around those hours successfully. I am very at ease with most pets and they usually like me right away. It’s a little different with cats & some dogs sometimes, who may have a wait & see stance. I am very patient in that instance and allow them to check me out in their way & in their time. I build trust with patience, kindness & love, respecting the animal’s boundaries.

Taelor was amazing. She always made sure our cat was taken of while dropping in and did things without questions (I.e cleaning his litter box, giving him fresh water). Her updates were much appreciated and we’ll definitely be using her in the future

Devon went above expectations. He spent extra time with my boy and played with him and gave him all his attention. I will absolutely use him in the future. Having a very large pitbull, requires a special person and he did an excellent job!

About: I have been around animals my whole life and currently have one dog, three cats (one senior with chronic illnesses/daily meds), four hermit crabs, one ball python, and 10 quail. In the past, I have cared for fish, snails, horses, rabbits, ferrets, a tarantula, and a variety of birds. I am open to watching animals of all kinds! I am able to provide drop in care any time on the weekends and morning/lunchtime/evening during the work week. I am also able to provide dog boarding in my home. I work Monday-Friday but my office is in the same neighborhood as my house - and is pet friendly! For drop in care, my goal is to provide care that keeps to the pets' regular schedule as much as possible in order to ensure they feel safe and cared for. I am able to medicate cats and dogs. For in home care, I am able to accommodate up to 2 dogs from the same household. I have a large, pet friendly house and fenced back yard. All boarding dogs must be cat friendly and good with other dogs.

About: About Me Hi, I’m Sharon! I am a mom of 3 boys. We love caring for healthy, active dogs of all sizes and energy levels. From playful pups to mellow seniors, I provide a fun, loving, and safe environment tailored to your pet's needs. Important Note I focus on caring for dogs without special medical or behavioral needs to ensure consistent, high-quality care. If your pet requires specialized attention, I recommend a sitter experienced in those areas for the best fit. I mostly work from home. When kids are out of school - we mostly stay home and go on walks. We have a great neighborhood for dog walking and my kids love to help! I have a fully fenced private back yard with plenty of space to play. We do have a pool that is unfenced. Our neighborhood is great for dog walking! I can use a crate or baby gate if we leave the house at anytime.

Avery has been watching Yuki and Cosmo for about a month now 2xs a week. She is always right on time, attentive, and gentle with them. Yuki is timid and I can see he has warmed up to her in a short amount time. She sends me pictures while I’m at work and a detailed report card of her visits. I highly recommend Avery to care for your babies!!

Nancy is amazing! She has been doing week day daily drop-ins for my Suzie for over a month now. She is super reliable and just wonderful with Suzie. She gives her lots of love and pets and takes her on walks. Suzie just loves her and her sweet mini me! I highly recommend Nancy! She is very attentive and trustworthy. I have long days and she is very flexible with scheduling and sometimes will come for 2 drop-ins in 1 day. Her help is so appreciated and I really can't say enough great thing about her! 😊
