“Super sweet and very communicative. The job she accepted was a bit out of her range but she was still willing to do it. Unfortunately, bad luck happened and she was unable to complete the drop in visits but she notified me immediately and worked promptly on contacting support to issue a refund. I appreciate her accepting the job, doing what she could to fulfill it, and the communication and promptness when plans fell through. I would definitely hire her again.”


“Aidyn did a perfect job taking care of my cats while I was out of town. Aidyn communicated clearly and effectively and went above and beyond to make sure my cats were happy and safe. Thank you Aidyn!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since i was little and now dog and cat sit regularly for friends and family, i’ve worked with puppies and senior dogs and always will cuddle your fur babies because i know when mom and dad are out of town they need extra TLC. Your baby will not go unnoticed when i am around. I am an esthetician so i am able to make my own schedule and also work as a substitute teacher at the school districts in town so staying at your place all day is never a problem if it is needed! I am able to stay at the clients house all day and night or just do drop ins a couple times a day if needed

“thank you so much for watching our babies. You did such a great job and we were really at ease, knowing that you were going in there every day and taking really care of our babies. We really appreciate it.”


“Lexi was so sweet to our puppy. She really does treat our dog like her own. She plays with him for the whole 30 mins and she notices little things like when to give our dog water. She respects our place when she's there. She’s always on time. This is the 3rd time we hired her and she has been consistent through and through.”

About: I was practically raised by poodles, grew up with and cared for dogs throughout my childhood, now I’m Dad to 3 boy cats! I love working with and caring for all animals. My availability is currently wide open, especially on weekends, so I’ll have plenty of time to watch over your beloved pets and make sure they get quality care. I’m happy to provide in-home pet care at the homes of my clients, making sure your pets get plenty of love and affection within the walls of their own home while you’re away.

About: Hello! I am an online Spanish teacher and am able to be pretty near anywhere as long as there is wifi! I have been watching all kinds of animals for several years. I grew up on a farm and I am used to early mornings and routines. Getting outside and being active is a must in my life. As well as cuddling and having a calm evening of pets and loves. I am a big time animal lover and work hard to create a positive bond with every animal I am caring for. It is important for them to feel loved and safe when their human is away. Important details to keep in mind is my partner (Sam) and bonus kiddo (Marcus 9) will be staying with me at times if I am in-house pet sitting and during the school year I will have early morning drop offs and evening pick ups every other week (: the other important detail is houses with inside cameras will need to be disabled for profesional and personal privacy! Currently I have a seasonal plant vendor job in the summer for 2-4 days a week in the mornings which will require me to be away for 3-5 hours depending on the work load. I look forward to meeting and greeting you and your fur babies! I work from home, light mornings and heavy evening schedule. I simply need wifi to teach my classes and have a flexible schedule when needed. I will take care of the tasks asked of me and can use my own expertise on taking care of a situation that may not have been covered. Open communication is important and necessary -feeding schedules -exercise needs -an abundance of cuddles -photo check ins to ease your mind as well

“Jennifer has been wonderful with Winnie. She walks and plays with her during her drop in times and Winnie gets a break from the crate. I feel comfortable knowing she is in good hands. I highly recommend Jennifer!”


“Brittney is amazing! She came to do a pre-meet and greet before our scheduled appointment to meet my pups ☺️ I felt very comfortable leaving my two fur babies in her care.”


About: I’ve had and loved on pets and animals my entire life! My fur babies are like family! I’ve also taken care of family and neighbors animals to walk, feed, potty breaks, playtime and to hang out and love on. I work remotely from home with a flexible schedule that allows me to care and nurture your fur babies when you’re not able to! I understand the important needs of our fur babies and life’s hectic schedules so if I can lend an hand, I’m happy to offer my services! I am diligent about keeping a close eye on your pets safety in your home. I love to know your pets lifestyle and schedule and will acclimate myself to fit their needs! Walking, feeding and play time schedules will be followed and I will add extra love to everything I do because that part comes natural to me.

“We were nervous about leaving out cats with someone we didn't know, but throughout every step of the process, Olivia was courteous, friendly, and explained the process. She cared very well for our cats and we will definitely use her again!”


“Charlotte did great with Coby. He is very shy and getting him out to go to the bathroom was my biggest worry, but she was able to do it! She also sent plenty of pictures.”


About: Hi, I'm Jenna and caring for animals is my passion! I have been tending to animals since I was a child; we always had multiple pets and were surrounded by wildlife growing up in New Hampshire, which sparked my love for animals. I began pet sitting at a young age, and I now do that as well as nanny on the side. I have also worked as a dog bather in the past at a grooming shop, so I have experience with loads of breeds of dogs. Currently at my home, we have 4 outdoor cats, 1 Border Collie/Shephard mix, 1 Yellow Lab, and 1 Heeler mix. They love roaming our property and are always playing with each other - even the cats and Heeler puppy sometimes! We also just had a baby 1 year ago, and he is learning the ways of animal life around here. I can drive to your house and play with your furbaby(ies) twice per day, including long walks! I am available in the mornings and evenings just about everyday, and very flexible. I'd also be happy to care for any other type of pet you may have! I have experience with rabbits, cats, and exotic animals! I look forward to working with you! I am a stay at home mom and I also work Saturday mornings - my schedule is usually very open just based around my son’s nap I am very thorough and responsible with respecting the owner’s wishes when caring for their pets. I love taking dogs outside to play, for walks, playing with toys inside, talking to and showing them love, and making sure they have everything they need!


“Our experience with Kari was just perfect. Kari is very reliable and friendly. She communicated with us during her visits with pictures and texts. Fast to reply to questions and helpful. The kitties were happy and healthy when we returned home. We have already booked for future trips out of town.”

“Denise is a gem! She was the first person to respond back to me and was at my house for a meet and greet the same day. I immediately felt comfortable with her. Not only is she super sweet, she is very knowledgeable about animals and their well being. It was my first time leaving my 2 cats home alone for a few days and while I was super nervous she completely made me feel at ease and did a great job. She was on time and attentive. My cats never came out to play with her because they’re very shy and don’t like strangers however she made sure to do a head count before leaving and gave me updates. I couldn’t recommend her more!!”
