“Savannah has been great! We’ve had her drop-in cat sit twice now and she’s given us great updates and showed great patience and care for our very... “particular” kitty 😸 We can’t wait to have her watch our pup!”


“Justine was perfect. She wrote us daily texts and sent pictures of the 4 kitties every single day. They clearly bonded with them. She took care of picking up our mail for us and opened and lowered the blinds every day. She feed them and played with them. She even saved on of our kitties who got stuck in a gluey ant trap! She was affectionate, clever and resourceful. We could not have found anyone better. She made our vacation in London! We missed our 4 kitties so much and would not have been able to enjoy ourselves at all except we knew she would take excellent care of them!!!”


“Second time booking with Mike and Jennifer and we are always happy to have them come check on our cats and so are they. Will continue to request them as I can!”


“Nadia was absolutely wonderful sitting for my cat, Bean. He is very anxious and usually not comfortable around anyone else besides me, but Nadia knew exactly how to interact with him while respecting his boundaries and giving him space. He grew more comfortable with her every time she visited. It was clear to me that Nadia is very experienced with all kinds of pet personalities, and that she has so much love for all animals, no matter what their struggles may be. She sent detailed updates and pictures after each visit. I'm so grateful for her conscientious and professional care and will definitely book with her again!”



“Hi guys. I feel like you all did a great job. You took O' Malley for 10 days and let him do his thing and be comfortable in his own way. Thank you! The only thing I would have liked more of is communication. Both times I had to reach out to you for check ins. Good luck with your pet sitting!!!”


“It was such a relief to find Emily so we could go on our trip and not worry about our kitties. She did an excellent job taking care of everything!! I will certainly contact her again when we plan to be gone again.”


“We booked Ellena last minute for check-ins and she was awesome with our fur babies! She communicated with us wonderfully and even sent pictures during her visits! will definitely book again when we need her!”


About: I got a puppy for my son back my May of this year (2023) and we have had so much fun with her! Rather than getting our puppy a puppy to play with we thought we would try out dog sitting as a way to get some more fun furry friends in the house! We take our golden doodle on a walk every day for about 20-30 minutes. She has free access to the backyard whenever she wants through the doggy door. My 5 year old plays with her both inside and outside depending on the weather. Charlee goes to the groomers about every 8 weeks for her spa day. I will treat your fur baby just as I treat mine! All the snuggles, play, and love they deserve! My son will also provide more than enough to wear them out I promise that haha

About: I have an immense love for animals and treat my own as if they were my children, giving them endless care, respect, and affection. Their happiness and well-being are my top priorities, and I go above and beyond to ensure they feel safe, loved, and understood. This deep connection extends to every pet I care for, making me an exceptional pet sitter. I am patient, responsible, and attuned to each animal’s unique needs, whether it’s playtime, special diets, or just providing comfort. My dedication and genuine passion for animals make me someone pet owners can trust completely. I am always at home. I do work from home. But that is a few hours per day and my schedule can be adjusted to the needs of any animal. I have a lead setup but all dogs will be taken on multiple walks a day. During bed time they would be with me unless requested by owner to be crated.

About: My name is Chelsea. I am married and have two daughters and a son. They are 10, 6, and 3. I have a wonderful German Shepherd and a 20 pound cat named Karen. We love caring for other animals. We also live on three acres so there is plenty of room to run and play! I can come to your home or board in ours. We are very active individuals. Both my husband and I are runners. Just let me know if you have anymore questions and I would be more than willing to answer them! We are very flexible with our schedules. My husband works full-time, but I drive for Uber so I can make my own schedule when needed. We try to stay as active as possible and play with pets in the home. We have a German shepherd that loves the extra play time!

About: Since childhood, I have enjoyed the companionship of dogs. The first family pet I knew for nearly its entire lifetime was our rescue beagle my family adopted when I was about 8 years old. I have pet sat in the past, both overnight/in-home sitting, in addition to drop in visits to feed and let dogs outside for potty time. I have experience caring for senior pets, adults and puppies. I am available to care for your pets during weekday late mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends, and for overnight stays with your pet(s) as well. I am comfortable crating dogs if necessary and I have some experience caring for dogs with special needs, more specifically senior dogs that have mobility challenges.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have always loved being around animals. I have experience walking dogs and have also done overnight pet sitting for both dogs and cats from time to time. I’m reliable, patient, and treat every pet like my own—with love, attention, and care. I’m comfortable and confident with dogs of all kinds—big or small, shy or energetic—and always prioritize their safety and happiness. I’m a student-athlete at Washburn and also work part-time, but I always make time for pet care because I truly enjoy it. My schedule is flexible around classes and work, especially in the mornings, evenings, and weekends. I’m great at planning ahead and will always make sure your pet gets the attention they deserve. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or at a client’s, their safety and comfort always come first. I follow any instructions carefully, keep a clean and calm environment, and make sure pets feel loved and secure. I take time to build trust with each animal and always respect their routine and space.

I have left my animals with her more times than I can count and I always feel so comforted knowing how well cared for and loved they are when they're in her home.
