“Eli did a fantastic job house sitting with our dog and senior cat this weekend. He was so good attending to all their needs, and constantly kept us updated with photos. We'll definitely be booking in the future! Thanks Eli”

“Sabrina was amazing with my pups. Sabrina was very professional. Sabrina was quick to respond to messages and work with us on such short notice. If your looking for the perfect sitter, look no further than Sabrina.”

“Carley is wonderful with our two Great Danes! We are a repeat client and would recommend Carley to anyone. She also left our house just the way it was when we left. That is always a relief to come home to.”

About: Hello, I'm Katie! I helped my mom run a cat rescue for over 8 years (that includes waking up every 2 hours to bottle feed, giving medication, handling moody kitties, cleaning up constant messes, etc). Since then, I've been trusted to pet sit for friends, coworkers, and family members. I have more experience house sitting with cats than dogs, but I love all pets equally and would be so happy to meet them! I offer overnight stays/house sitting, drop-ins, and dog walking. I am currently pet sitting full time. I am available on weekdays and weekends however early or late as needed, and for as many drop-ins as needed. My schedule is very flexible! The care and safety of your pet is the most important thing to me. I make sure to keep human food out of reach along with plastic bags, cords, or other potentially harmful items. I always try to keep pets entertained, happy, and out of trouble. I am a very clean person and will never leave a mess behind, I can assure your home will be well looked after. I can provide photo or text updates as often as needed!

“Samantha was amazing! She took such great care of all our pets. Our dog was so relaxed when we got home. This was also a last minute booking since our sitter bailed on us and she really saved the day. She sent lots of updates and pics too so we could see all our babies being well care for. We’ll absolutely use her service in the future.”

“Taryn put our minds at ease. She was perfect for our skittish pups. She made sure they trusted her and was very patient with them. Thank you!”

About: I have been around dogs since I was born! I have two of my own fur children, whom both required a lot of attention and are very spoiled! They are also extremely well mannered and I have only self-trained them with patience and proper motivation. I have pet sat for friends and family several times informally, and found it to be so fun! I myself am a very detail oriented person, loves loving on animals, and understands how comforting it is to have the right person looking after your baby! I own my own business so my hours are flexible and can be arranged as needed! I already am caring for my own pets throughout each day! My dogs are both leashed when going out to potty in our yard. I also work on patience, obedience commands, and recall with them so that they have little daily disciplines. Both of my dogs are very treat oriented so it makes keeping them up to snuff with their manners easy! They also get regularly walked through our neighborhood, have an abundance of toys, and a very consistent meal time for breakfast and dinner!

“Sydney was the best with great communication! We will definitely be using her again & highly recommend.”

“She was very responsive and easy to work with. Kept us updated on any issues or events that we needed to know about, and with the extra step to bring in our mail while we were gone. Our pups were greatly cared for, and we would absolutely book her again”

“I’m so glad I tried looking for another sitter and found Karina! She did a fantastic job! She truly cared for Zoey and made time to know her, and eventually they became buddies! Zoey has a separation anxiety and could be difficult to handle (she won’t leave the house even to go potty). But Karina took effort & was so patient with Zoey and made sure she got to potty for the day. The house was the same as how we left it. I definitely will book Karina again even for drop ins! Thank you so much, Karina! We appreciate you so much!”

Jennifer P.

“Such a wonderful experience. Easily my official sitter // walker from here forward. On top of her flexibility & proactive communication, I appreciate how authentic her love for animals is as that kind of care is hard to find. It’s incredibly clear how much she’s dedicated to growing with this business & I can’t wait to watch her grow (particularly with my dogs😏😊)!”

Samantha K.

“Allie was very attentive and communicated every time she stopped by the house to let the dogs out. She sent pictures every time as well as a couple videos. The dogs loved her company and they were well cared for!”

About: I bring 7+ years of pet care experience, including working in a daycare setting where I cared for multiple dogs at once. I focus on safety, structure, fun playtime, and personalized attention to every during alone time. Making sure they feel comfortable, confident, and excited to see me. I am currently completing an externship for school, which takes place earlier in the day. I have open availability after 2pm on weekdays and flexible availability on weekends, making it easy to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and extended care as needed. I prioritize safety, comfort, and routine whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home. I closely follow feeding schedules, leash guidelines, and any special instructions provided. I maintain clean spaces, supervise all interactions, and communicate updates regularly so pet parents feel confident and at ease.

“So glad I found Alexandria to take care of my cat when I was gone. She is very dependable and was loving toward Bruno. You would not be disappointed to book with her.”

About: My experience has been mostly my family and friends. I have taken their animals on walks, bathed them, fed them, played with them. Took them to parks and even trained them on new skills. Since I just graduated I have very open availability and ready to help. I am very organized and dependable, I value time management, my career/education, and most importantly taking care of people and animals. I am currently waiting for the new school year to roll around and continue my education so my schedule is free. I wake up early to work out but that time can be flexible depending on if I have a pet to watch. I keep the animals on the schedule they are used to. Feed them, fill water, walks, clean behind them, playtime, medicine if they need. Also litter box maintenance for cats. Also making sure we’re safe in the house and my phone near me to contact the owners if needed.

About: I love all animals, but especially dogs. I recently lost my first dog, mango, a little over a year ago. Spending time with other dogs is a gift to me because I love to me reminded of her through other dogs. I also have skills administering diabetes shots to senior dogs. I am currently a student, but am able to walk and check-in on M/W anytime before 1pm or after 4. I am also free on Fridays & Weekends for walks and check-ins. I like to play outdoor with dogs & do various enrinchment activities. I like long walks and dog parks as well! I’m comfortable with whatever the owner’s preference is.

“Alison was awesome! My 3 dogs adored her and she took great care and sent amazing pictures. She also was very respectful of our home and left it like she found it ;) highly recommend!”
