“Alyssa is terrific with our fur babies! Alyssa is great at communicating when she’s on her way and sending great pictures and updates after her visit with our babies! They love Alyssa coming over too!”
“Vivian was an awesome sitter for my cat baby. She provided me with a lot of updates and photos and she was on time. My cat eventually warmed up to her sweet personality and let her pet and brush her. I definitely hope to use Vivian again in the future.”
“Christina is wonderful!!! Our trip was very last minute and Christina graciously accommodated. Our 3 kitties were well taken care of and Christina even watered my plants for me! The communication was excellent. We will definitely book her again in the future.”
“Lisa is awesome! She was able to help out last minute and she did a phenomenal job dropping in on my dogs. They are happy and so am I. I plan to use her again in the future.”
“Marissa is great every time she spends time with my dogs. She always goes above and beyond! My female dog is always more hesitant with people who aren’t me, and she’s had no trouble accepting Marissa. My aunt always requests her specifically when she knows I have to get a sitter.”
About: I have a dog and a cat at home. Always have had a dog since the day I was born. Love to take her on walks or play with her in the yard. I work 4 days a week so I have 3 days completely open. The other days I have certain hours open to be able to be with your dog. I love hanging out, walking and playing with dogs and cats to make sure their needs are met to make sure their owner is happy and satisfied.
About: I’ve worked at a Dog Daycare and boarding place for a few years now. I have had dogs and cats my whole life, and I’ve always helped family and friends take care of their pets. I am available all week, Monday through Sunday, and have a flexible schedule. I can adjust to morning, afternoon, or evening visits based on your pet’s needs. I have two friendly cats who are independent and calm. At your home, I’ll follow all safety instructions, keep things tidy, and make sure your pets feel secure and loved.
About: I have taken care of dogs of many shapes, styles, and energy levels. From the dog I used to have, a Border Collie - Jack Russell mix with the highest energy, to a two pound puppy Shitzu, a couple of senior Chihuahuas, a young Silver Lab, and many more. I care for your furry friend as if it were my own. I’ve never met a pet I didn’t like or vice versa. I am happy to sit at your home or your dog can come to my own home. I work full time, but I’m happy to hang out with your pet before and after work Monday to Friday. I’m free on the weekends. I care for your pet like it is my own. I’ll give them plenty of attention, play, and outside time. Whatever their needs, I am here for them.
About: I have worked in a professional pet care setting before as a bather, kennel & doggy daycare attendant! I have experience with clipping nails and grooming different types of fur textures! I know the signs of when animals are in distress and I know CPR if an emergency ever arises. I can always make time for animals! I work as a disabled aide in the summer. But, I have plenty of time to watch your fur babies! I am usually available in the afternoons past 2 pm! I can do very very early morning walks, such as 5 am! I will always make sure your pet has my full attention when I arrive and will be happy when I leave! :) I believe in communication. I love lists telling me the do's and do nots. I treat every house with respect and intend to leave it just the way you left it. ( if not cleaner, lol! ) If a pet has an accident, I will clean it up with the right products. I give pet reports after each visit to establish any behavior concerns or positive feedback about your baby! I will ask questions rather than assume. Your home, the well being of your pet, it falls under my responsibility and I take it very seriously.
“Jessica is the best! She is reliable, so easy to work with, and always quick to respond. And she is so great with my cat! Jessica really loves animals and makes sure they get lots of love and cuddles. I feel so lucky to have found Jessica, she is truly amazing!”
About: I have lived with pets in my household for my entire life and I have grown up learning and loving to take care of them. I have been caring for others’ pets for over 8 years. I am a part time server from 3pm-9pm at a local diner three days of the week. I have plenty of time over the summer to care for your pets and give them the love and attention they deserve! I have experience with housesitting and pet sitting and have kept the animals entertained and happy. My experience with my own dogs means I know that dogs need attention and love and I am more than willing to give it to them.
About: I’ve had a dog close to me since I was born. Although, I don’t have a dog as of right now, my boyfriend has 2 and I am with them all the time. When I go over to his house I LOVE to play with them and take them on walks. I have 3 cats of my own and I love to play with their toys with them. I’ve found that dogs love to cuddle with me, even though I would love to get them outside! I am willing to work with whatever works for your pet! I am pretty much available all summer! I love to take walks in the morning, but I can do whenever you prefer. I can stop by later on to check on them as well. Whatever works for you! When I go to my boyfriend’s house, I play with their dogs all day long and take them on walks later in the afternoon after it’s cooled down outside. I have 3 cats of my own, I play with them throughout the day, give them treats in the middle of the day, and give them dinner at night. 1 of them chooses to lay with me at night. I had 1 cat for 10 years but he recently passed away. He did everything with me, he went on walks with me outside and loved car rides surprisingly. He would lay with me all night, every night. I’ve found that dogs LOVE to cuddle with me as well!
“Katarina was excellent with pepper. She was very prompt & attentive with her responses. She was very sensitive about pepper's needs as a senior dog. I will definately use her services again. I highly recommend her.”
About: I have spent all my life LOVING dogs more than anything. After high school, I picked up dog sitting for local friends/families when they needed it. I’ve dealt with scared fear driven dogs, puppies who have NO manners, and fully trained dogs as well. I am also and AKC certified evaluator for Canine Good Citizen. I have experience with training dogs as well, including reactive, puppies, and basic obedience. I love all dogs regardless of their shapes, sizes, breeds and the baggage they come with. Especially when I see their wagging tail coming my way! My work schedule is very flexible right now. Weekends I am completely available. A lot of my afternoons are open as well after 3pm. I am also available before 8am as well if your pup could use an early morning walkie! I personally have a fenced in yard for my dog at home and also have a long line tie-out just in case. You can never be overly cautious especially as someone who has known dogs who've gotten out. I will ensure your dog is safely attached to the leash, in their yard, etc. The fear of losing my own dog creates a protective dog sitter in myself as well.
“Alyssa’s communication is great and she responds fast. We feel comfortable with her looking over our two cats when we are gone. She is very kind and our cat Abby loves her visits! It feels great to find someone reliable and trustworthy for our two fur babies.”

Megan M.
“Megan is the greatest pet sitter I have ever had. Not only were my cats extremely well taken care of when I returned from vacation, but my dog was looking as healthy as ever, too. My cats’ litter box was freshly cleaned when I came back and I could tell my cats had been thoroughly brushed. Not to mention, Megan updated me every time she let out the dog and fed/gave him water! She was consistent with walking him everyday and sticking to his strict food schedule I normally maintain for him. After having such an amazing experience with Megan the first time I hired her, I have since hired her several more times- she’s my go to pet sitter for when I need it!!”

She handles our girls like a champ, reliably keeping the dogs under control while giving them all the love, hugs, and kisses to ensure they don't miss us. She is organized, dedicated, and amazing at keeping my girls healthy and in good spirits. Sydney is always punctual, follows instructions meticulously, and communicates effectively, ensuring that I am always informed about my pets' well-being. She has a special knack for getting the dogs to trust and obey her. Highly recommend her and will always use her services."”
