“Taylor was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of our cats and went above and beyond in every way, communicating regularly, keeping their space clean, and making sure they were happy and well looked after. We felt way more at ease knowing they were in such good hands. We’ll definitely be booking with her again for all of our future vacations!”


“Robert took excellent care of my puppy Piglet. He was on time, provided plenty of photos and updates, respected my house, and followed all my instructions. Highly recommend Robert for your pet sitting needs and will definitely book with him in the future. Thanks Robert!!”


“Alley is our #1 go-to any time we need someone to take care of our cat, Cheeto. She is consistently prompt, communicative, trustworthy and reliable — all qualities you’d want in someone looking after your pet. We’re always so happy when she is available to watch Cheeto, as we feel extremely comfortable and confident with the care and attention she gives. Highly highly recommend!”


“Excellent. The cats were well cared for, and Elisa sent pictures of their antics for time she was with them . Truly above and beyond.. She is kind, caring and reliable and responsible.”


“Melissa and Dave did a great job taking care of our cat while we were away. They came every day for 2 weeks to feed and clean the litter box. We received photos daily showing she was healthy and happy and eating her food. When we got home, the food area and litter box were clean and tidy. I would definitely use them again for our future needs and highly recommend them to anyone who needs their furry friends taken care of.”



“She followed our very detailed instructions very well and went above and beyond to ensure our baby's were taken care of. We were able to schedule last minute and Olga was very accommodating. Definitely a good experience.”


About: I have taken care of many puppies including runts that needed fed with a dropper, squirrel chasers, leash pullers, droolers, lickers, jumpers, lovers, introverts, happy & cranky seniors alike as well. I am 39 and new to the area and spend my mornings and evenings going for walks and prefer to enjoy the outside when exercising if possible. Stopping by to care for your baby and/or walking them will be helping me get used to the area much quicker. I offer first time 30 minute meetings for free if you would like. I send photo updates for those who make the request. I will poop scoop your yard if you are not able. Every pet needs different care on various levels of security. I am great at following verbal and written instruction due to my experience caring for pets, dementia patients, and children over the course of my life.


“Jennifer was amazing with my 15 1/2 year old cat that has GI lymphoma. I was super nervous to leave her for two weeks as she’s on many medications and supplements with chemotherapy. However, Jennifer was confident that she could give my Boo her medications and she did! She took great care of my high maintenance kitty and she alerted me as soon as she noticed some blood in my kitty’s vomit and took her to the emergency vet for me. Jennifer was very caring and patient with Boo and we will definitely be using her again!”


“It was so nice having Catherine stop in so I didn’t have to worry about the pups when I got scheduled for a long shift. She was on time, sent pictures, and communicated through the whole day. Thank you Catherine!”


“It this my first time using Rover and David made it so easy! He communicated very well and even worked with me on changing the date since my plans got moved. He gave me great details on how my pup was doing while he was there and even shared 2 pics with me. He understands these are our babies and you can tell he loves animals. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND David and will definitely be using him again!”


About: I’ve had dogs & have cared for dogs my whole life. I’ve never met a sweet happy tail that I didn’t want to pet or kiss! Their loyalty, love & faithfulness are boundless. The safety, security and companionship an animal provides is all consuming. People come & go but a dog’s love is forever. My experience with dogs is extensive as I’m regularly accustomed to playing, walking, bathing, brushing, cleaning up after & managing sometimes erratic behavior from my own two Maltese boys. Bathing, blow drying, brushing both fur & teeth & cleaning up accidents are my reality every week. I also possess the skill set to care for senior dogs with strict medication schedules, which I did regularly while in college. Apart from this; I have pet sit a litter of baby puppies over the years, beginning at 6 weeks of age. I’m currently available to work any weekdays & weekends. Monday - Friday & do not have any time restrictions. I would be available weekends as well. I’m available for dog walks & pet sit-ins. I have a fenced in yard at home for both of my dogs, but I am also very used to walking pets on a harness & leash to avoid any safety issues. I try to have a spare collar, harness, & leash in the back of my car in case anything unforeseen may arise.

“Jennie is a wonderful pet sitter. Our dog can be a handful (he is a rescue and can sometimes be aggressive) and she worked with him no problem. She also took care of our cat and even fed our fish. Lovely person and excellent with animals.”


About: Hi! My name is Jessica, and I would love to help care for your pet while you love them from afar. I grew up with a family dog, and until I had children, always had pets in my home. I've cared for my family's, friends', and neighbors' dogs and cats in times of need: working long hours and your pet needs a walk or to be let outside; on vacation and need a friend to stay with your little buddy overnight or for a few days; or even a day-date/daycation at the beach and your pet needs to be fed and played with from morning to night. I currently work from home, so I am very flexible with incorporating pet care that works for you into my daily or weekly routine. I'm happy to work with your schedule to accommodate you and your pets' needs. I will care for your pet in the exact way that you ask. I run very well on schedules, routines, and prior planning. If you have exact times throughout the day that you need a service to be provided, I'm happy to do so. If your goal is just to give your pup or kitty a playmate for the day, I'll be thrilled to take good care of him or her safely on leash or in a fenced in area. I will only feed your pet what is provided and take into consideration any areas of social anxiety your pet my have around other animals or humans. You can trust me to take care of your fur family member just as I would care for my own children.

“Janet is wonderful (and so is Jim)! I have used them twice now to check in on my cats (2) when we went away and I will definitely continue to use them for future trips. They are great with our cats and I trust them to treat them like their own pets. Janet always gets back to me quickly and she does a great job of taking pictures and sending me updates. I would highly recommend them.”


“Devon was great! We have 3 younger, rambunctious kitties who needed some love and attention while we were away for an extended period. Devon played with them and made sure all of their needs were taken care of. Her communication throughout was excellent. I didn’t have to worry at all. We would recommend her to anyone.”


About: I am an animal lover and treat your pets exactly as I would want mine to be treated. Our animals were part of my family and yours would be treated the same. I have experience with dog aggressive dogs and the care required in walking them to keep both them and others safe. I have been pet sitting for many years and started out as a grooming assistant. I am available to board in my home. I have a fenced in yard and pool with dog ledge and swim out. My schedule is flexible and short notice requests are no problem. I always send daily photos and videos and keep in communication as little or as much as you would like There is always someone home at our house and available for potty breaks and play time :-) we are early risers and have a teenager who stays up late so someone is always available at home I have a fenced yard with uncaged pool, would not leave pets unattended outside near the pool. There is a swim out and also a dog ledge. We have a bedroom dedicated to pets so when we aren’t home they can remain uncrated and safe if that’s what pet parents prefer or have the run of the first floor of the home.

About: From cats and dogs to aquatic and farm, I love them all! I understand how important our pets are to us and it takes an intense amount of trust to allow someone to care for them the way you do. Since I was a little girl, my family dubbed me the phrase "I want to come back as one of Justine's pets in my next life!" I can promise your fur babies will be loved and well cared for while you are away. I am currently a local middle school teacher with all school breaks free! I am available in the mornings and evenings during the school year as well as overnights during the week and weekends. I am able to take small, caged rodents such as hamsters or guinea pigs, in my home but all other animals will be in the comfort of your home. I currently have a dog, two cats and a bunny living in my home.
