“Jessica went above and beyond and did such a great job with our cats. She sent us pictures and a note every time keeping us updated on how they were doing. I felt very at ease and did not have to worry about our cats while we were away with her caring for them!”


“Benjamin took great care of my 2 cats. He always sent a picture, whether of the cats (if he saw them), or of a full food and water bowl. He also checked in to let me know the cats were doing well. I absolutely recommend him and would have him watch my cats again!”


“There’s nothing like traveling and worrying the entire time! I was hesitant to use this app and I wasn’t having any luck finding a sitter…until I came across Emily! She kept me informed everyday! My fur babies were in such a better mood when I came home. They are usually boarded and that was not the best environment for them. It would take them days to resettle in at home. Thanks to Emily they were very well cared for! I will rebook for sure!!!!”


“Callie did a fantastic job taking care of our cat while we were away. Very good with communication during her visits and included daily pictures. Was very helpful to collect our mail and packages as well. We will definitely use Callie again in the future!”


“My cat rarely warms up to people and Crystals photo updates show him all over her :) This is our second time working with Crystal and her updates and visits ease the separation anxiety when you have to leave your pet. I highly recommend working with her!”


About: As a child I've grown up with multiple animals as animals as pets, including a few dogs and a few cats. Professionally, I've had four total years taking care of different animals, which includes supervising dogs as well as helping various animals such as cats, guinea pigs, and other animals get adopted. I have had general experience feeding, walking, bathing, nail trimming, and over all playing with and supervising dogs. I also have had experience taking care of elderly and disabled animals, which includes but is not limited to a 19 year old cat with arthritis and kidney disease. I have experience giving animals oral medications at the correct times and have been consistently. As of right now, I am offering house sitting, drop-ins and dog walking. As of right now, all seven days of the week are generally free for me and I am home most of the time. However, there may be some days where I'm not available, such as certain holidays or family events. If something happens where I can't take care of your animal(s) (such as an emergency), I'll try to let you know ahead of time. I'll always keep your animals supervised regardless of whatever service I'm doing at the time. If your animal takes medications, I'll administer them at the correct times.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have been the primary caregiver for my pups the past 23 years. From house training and socialization to managing energy levels and building trust, I understand what it takes to give pets a loving and structured environment. More than anything, I genuinely love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m calm, attentive, and always focused on keeping pets safe, happy, and comfortable! I currently work a 9–5 job, so I’m available for evening drop-ins and walks during the week. Open on most weekends! That said, I just had a newborn and will be home all summer, which gives me a flexible daytime schedule for caring for pets and making sure pups get the time and attention they need. I truly love being around animals and enjoy spending my spare time with them—whether it’s a quick walk, a snuggle session, or simply making sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. Whether you have a small pup or a big dog, I’m happy to take them on walks—or if you prefer, we can stay in the yard or play indoors. I’ll follow your preferences to make sure your pet feels secure and cared for. If your pet just needs some company and a buddy for a while, I’m here for that too. During my visits, your pet will be treated like part of the family—loved, respected, and given the attention they deserve in a calm, safe environment.

About: I have owned cats and been around dogs all my life. I have also dog sat for several friends and family members. I couldn’t imagine my life without pets! I am finally getting back to caregiving for the elderly after breaking my ankle last year. I love animals dearly and helping people as well! I am looking to help people care for their animals to help with income and animals make me happy :) I have a fairly nice fenced in yard and lots of experience with all different breeds of dogs. I’m able to accommodate to your pets needs

About: I’ve grown up with animals my whole life. My mom breeds old English puppies, with that I get a lot of hand on experience with puppies. That means training them,taking care of them etc. I will treat your pet as if they are my own and make sure you and your pet are satisfied. I’m currently working part-time but with my excellent time management skills, I will be able to care for your pets and mine as well weekly. If I’m staying at a clients house I am very mindful and respectful of their home. I make sure to clean up after my self and make sure to get the animals outside as much as I can. When I just have to walk them I make sure to keep them on a leash and be aware of the surroundings

About: Hello! My name is Alicia and I have had my own furry companions or cared for furry companions since I was a young child. I currently own my own rescue shelter and am very qualified to care for yours as well. I am a shift work firefighter/paramedic and only work 8 days a month. So the days I place on my availability schedule I am typically home. I may run an errand or two but can work that around the needs/wants of my clients. If I was to care for your furry companion I would make sure they are fed and have plenty of water. If they require anything special or extra I can manage that as well. I will play with them and spend time with them so they can get some wiggles and energy out. I can take them on a walk and make sure they go potty.

About: I have always loved dogs and had my own, but I started caring for other people’s dogs at around 13 years old. In early 2022, I started working at the doggy daycare/boarding facility I currently work at, and I am now a manager there. I am responsible for feeding, bathing, administering medication, playing with and cleaning up after dogs of all different breeds, temperaments, ages and sizes, and I couldn’t be more passionate about my job. I currently work full time (at a dog kennel), and my schedule is consistent but switches days every week. I know my schedule very far out in advance so it should be easy to work with! I have 2 dogs at home that are well trained but not very friendly with other dogs, so at home boarding does not work for me. However, at your home, I can work with whatever system you have going for your dogs already, whether that be a crate training system or something different. I have plenty of experience from my current job and can meet all the needs you and your furry friend need to be satisfied:)

About: Every pet is different, and I take the time to truly understand their unique personality, preferences, and needs. My love for animals isn’t just a job — it’s a real passion, and I treat every pet like family. One thing that sets me apart is that I’m home all day and have wide availability. That means your pet gets more attention, more playtime, and more one-on-one care — especially helpful for pets who need extra love, routine, or supervision. I keep pet parents in the loop with regular updates, photos, and detailed notes, so you always know how your furry friend is doing. I go beyond the basics with enriching activities and interactive play that help keep pets mentally and physically happy. You can count on me to be punctual, consistent, and reliable — creating a stress-free experience for both you and your pet. Whether it’s a special request or an unexpected situation, I’m always willing to go the extra mile to make sure everyone is safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’d love the chance to meet you and your pet — feel free to reach out any time! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I’m home throughout the day and have a very flexible schedule. I build my days around the pets I care for — making sure they get walks, playtime, meals, and companionship on a consistent schedule. I’m not rushing in between other jobs or obligations, which means I can give pets my full attention, especially those who need a stable routine or extra care. Whether it’s early morning drop-ins, midday playtime, or evening feeding, I’m available and fully present. I genuinely enjoy caring for animals, so making it part of my everyday life doesn’t feel like work — it’s just what I do. Every pet is different, and I take the time to truly understand their unique personality, preferences, and needs. My love for animals isn’t just a job — it’s a real passion, and I treat every pet like family. One thing that sets me apart is that I’m home all day and have wide availability. That means your pet gets more attention, more playtime, and one-on-one care — especially helpful for pets who thrive on routine or need extra supervision and love. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do everything I can to keep their environment calm, familiar, and consistent. I always begin with a meet and greet to learn your pet’s habits, health needs, and any household preferences. I follow feeding, walking, and play routines closely and provide plenty of mental and physical stimulation through personalized activities. Cleanliness and safety are top priorities — I keep your home tidy, clean up after pets, wipe paws when needed, and ensure food and water areas are fresh. I respect your space, follow house rules, and take home security seriously by locking up and following any protocols you’ve shared. I also provide frequent updates, photos, and notes, so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether it’s a special request, last-minute change, or emergency situation, I’m committed to going the extra mile to make sure both you and your pet feel confident and cared for. You can count on me to be consistent, punctual, respectful, and above all, deeply invested in your pet’s well-being. I’d love the chance to meet you and your furry friend — feel free to reach out any time!
