I've never left my pet's with anyone but friend's and family before so I was beyond nervous. Gerri was understanding of my concerns and treated my Furbabys with love. Would definitely recommend and become a repeat customer. Thank you Gerri!

About: I've always been such a huge animal lover and always took care of my own cats, dogs, guinea pigs and birds. I used to watch my family members pets when they would go away and feed them per special instructions and stayed with them as long as I could so they were never lonely. I work full time now but I make my own schedule! I'll be able to be reliable and work around the needs of anyone's babies! In my clients home I always have respect and take care of not only the pets but the home and property when I'm there always.

Sarah did an amazing job taking care of my 13 month puppy. Wesley is high energy and loves attention! He really loved Sarah and I felt confident leaving him! Sarah communicated during her stay and even sent pictures. Wesley is a fussy eater and she got him to eat a meal. Sarah left my home neat and I would highly recommend her services. Don’t hesitate to book!

Emma and Trent were amazing sitters. They took great care of my senior dog which meant tricking him into taking medication. Emma took him on adventures to the tulip festival and softball game which by the photos she sent I could tell he was so happy. She also won over our skittish cat who is usually afraid of strangers. Best of all we came home after 10 days to a pristine house. Thank you Emma and Trent!

I recently used Tricia for the first time for two nights of pet sitting with my senior chihuahua, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! She was incredibly professional, attentive, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. She took such amazing care of my dog and kept me updated the entire time with thoughtful messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It meant everything knowing Winnie was in such good hands. I will absolutely be using her services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!

About: I’ve been animal lover for as long as I can remember. From reptiles to puppies to birds I treat every animal with love and respect. Due to never having an ideal living situation to be caring pets, I’ve never had a pet of my own. However, I’ve always been surrounded by my friends, families, coworkers and neighbors pets. I have watched cared for their pets at my home, their home and even just out and about many times over the years. This has given me experience with a countless amount of pets of all kind and I fall in love with each and every one! I’d love to spread that love a little further to all who will allow me to share :) I work a part-time job at the moment and I’m looking to fill my extra time with something I love. I’ll have more than enough time to devote my utmost attention to your loved one! I’m also athletic myself so even the high energy fur balls get the best of me! I am very big on boundaries and structure. I will make sure to follow any guidelines that you already have in place for your pet.

Staci is a phenomenal dog sitter! She stayed at our place for a whole week and watched two of our pups, one of whom is really quite a challenge. He has health issues and an attitude and Staci was able to accommodate his needs. Thanks to her we were able to take our first vacation together in three years!!!

About: I’ve cared for pets my entire life and bring a calm, attentive, and personalized approach to every animal I watch. I understand that each pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to adjust my care to fit their needs—whether that means playful energy, quiet companionship, or a little extra patience. I’m experienced with both dogs and cats, including senior pets and those who may need medication, and I’m very mindful about keeping their environment clean, safe, and stress-free. I also have experience in multi-pet households, so I’m comfortable managing different temperaments while making sure every pet feels secure and cared for. My goal is to create a safe, loving environment where your pet feels comfortable, happy, and truly at home. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday routine, and I’m home most of the week to give pets plenty of time, attention, and care. I keep a consistent schedule with potty breaks, meals, playtime, and rest, making sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for throughout the day. I’m only away briefly once a week, and I always plan around that to make sure pets are still well taken care of. I truly enjoy being present with them, creating a calm, loving environment where they can feel relaxed, safe, and happy. I create a safe, clean, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and at ease. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine and personality, making sure to follow all care instructions and keep things as consistent as possible for them. In my home, pets are always supervised, and I take care with introductions and space to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable. I’m very mindful of safety, from secure spaces to feeding routines and behavior monitoring. My goal is to provide a calm, stress-free environment where pets feel safe, respected, and truly cared for.

About: I don't just walk dogs and drop in to take care of a cat. I take the time to play with them and keep them company so they don't feel alone while the person they love the most is not around for the brief moment. I am an independent Contractor who works with Autistic Adults. I create my own work schedule so I am flexible and available to take care of your fur baby. When coming into your home, I will slowly open the door but not all the way. I wouldn't want to chance a fur baby running away. If it's a dog, I will wait by the front door and allow your dog to approach and sniff me. We can take as long as needed so your puppy feels ok with me. If it's a cat, I will go searching and slowly approach with my hand extended so they can sniff me and see Im harmless. I am all about making my time with them as least stressful as possible. And of course if they want to play a bit, I'm all for it.😁

About: I’ve been pet sitting for 8+ years. My experience includes puppies, full grown dogs, elderly dogs, kittens, & full grown cats. I also have experience in making sure they receive any medications they may need to take. I work remotely, so I can/will be at the house all day, making sure your fur babies are not alone for hours on end and getting plenty of love and attention. I am a very clean house guest. I clean up after myself as well as the animals and respect any boundaries the homeowner may put in place. I make sure to clean the kitchen & bathroom before I leave and will even wash/change the sheets on the bed if requested. ***Please note that I require a meet & greet with you and your pet(s) prior to the care starting***

Kathy knows her business and has a natural connection with dogs. Our little Chihuahua mix is very shy with strangers, but Kathy gave her a "massage" that immediately won her over. We were very comfortable knowing Kathy was taking care of our dog and two cats for the holidays. Highly recommended.

Melissa is simply amazing. We have re-booked her over 10 times for home visits and home sitting our pet, Scott. We all were going on an international trip of ~10 days and we were worried since this was the first time we using someone’s services to stay at home and take care of Scott. Punctuality is Melissa’s virtue and Scott was absolutely comfortable with her. All those 10 days, we were very peaceful and Melissa ensured, with pictures and videos of Scott, that we were always in touch! A very big shout out to Melissa for a fantastic service!

Kim is great with watching our two dogs. She was even able to stay an extra night this time when our flight home got cancelled last minute. She sends updates throughout the stay and always leaves our house the way we left it. Would highly recommend!

Jennifer and Emily meet in the morning of the November 15. Emily can be very shy. She immediately like Jennifer. I certainly did too! She is so sweet. She talked so nicely with Emily. We disgusted how she can be shy and she is afraid of most things. Talked food time and bathroom habits. Jennifer left and then came back for the appointed time. Emily was very happy to see her. Jennifer provided many pictures of their time together while I was out. My Emily was happy to see me come back but, not about Jennifer leaving. Emily went to hide after she left. She was upset with me that Jennifer had left. She ignored me for the rest of the night. Jennifer had made quite an impression on her. Jennifer is an unbelievable person. Hiring her would be a blessing to you and your pet. I give her 10 out of 10.

Emma was amazing. She took the time to make sure Jack felt completely comfortable with her so they could enjoy a great evening together. He can be a little anxious around people, but he warmed up to her right away. She naturally gives off an animal lover’s energy that both pets and humans can sense. She asks thoughtful questions to ensure she’s following your dog’s care instructions closely and even sends pictures to keep you reassured throughout the experience. We are so thankful we found her here.
