“Erica was amazing with our kitties. She was a huge help and helped by adding extra visits since I biffed on the scheduling. We didn’t have to cut our trip short. I will always book her moving forward.”
“She was very kind and patient with us, even though we are not fluent in English. Everything went smoothly from the meet-and-greet to the key handover. Although it was only for two days, our cat seemed to warm up to her quickly. We really appreciated her care!”
“This was our second time with Liz, and she was just as great as the first time! Consistent with times every day, and treated our kitties like her own. Our kittens clearly love her and looked forward to her drop ins. Would highly recommend Liz and she’ll absolutely be our first choice whenever we need someone to look after our kittens.”
“Dane was friendly, has great communication, and wonderful with my 2 cats (one of them a senior) and wonderful with my reactive dog. I hired Dane for drop in visits while out of town for a family wedding. Dane asked follow up questions as needed during the visits and was on time. I would definitely book again and refer to a friend!”
“I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Michelle! She was incredibly responsible, caring, and attentive from start to finish. She followed every instruction perfectly, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. What truly stood out was her constant communication—I received regular updates, photos, and check-ins, which made me feel so connected and reassured. My pups were clearly in loving hands, and I could tell she treated them like her own. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter. Thank you so much for everything!”

About: Since the age of 8 I have been around and raised all kinds of animals. Cats, dogs, ducks (hatched and raised) , rabbits, hamsters, turtles, frogs, guinea pigs. I have lots of patience (I have 2 human babies and 3 fur babies haha), lots of love and lots of experience! I currently work part time (I make my own schedule) and would be able to fit in pet care whenever it is needed by the pet parent. I have a fenced in backyard, I am a current home owner so no need to worry about any apartment building neighbors. I have a very loving pup who would love to have a friend over at our house! If owner feels more comfortable with me going to their house alone, that is also more than okay as well! Whatever makes YOU feel most comfortable, I am here to do!
About: Hi, I’m Genesis. I’ve worked as a veterinary assistant for four years and now pet sit full-time. That experience taught me how to care for all kinds of pets. Shy, energetic, senior, or on medication. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as close to normal as possible, and I only step out of the home for short periods if needed. I am currently pet sitting full time and will be able to adjust to your pets schedule as necessary. Giving as much exercise and potty breaks as they need! With a background in veterinary medicine, I’m always keeping an eye out for anything that might be unsafe. Whether it’s dropped food, chewed-up toys, or open doors. I don’t allow dogs to meet other dogs while out on walks, and I never do any off-leash activities unless it’s in a securely fenced yard with your approval. I keep things calm, clean, and consistent, and I’m comfortable handling anything from minor issues to emergencies if they come up. Your pet will be in good, experienced hands.
About: I’ve had a dog for the last 10 years and also had one for ten years growing up. The dog that I had as a child, Mickey, had epilepsy and we had to take special care of him. Shannon, a retriever/redbone coonhound, is who I have now. She is gentle and laid back and would love a buddy to play with. I do work, so the dog would have to be used to that and can be crated if you would like. I am home in the late afternoon/ early evening. In the weekends, I can be home all day. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly dog to keep other furry friends company! Crating is definitely an option if you use one. I can administer medications, take dogs on walks and give lots of playtime!
“Nancy loves animals! This was apparent during our meet and greet as well as in the videos she sent of my loudly purring cat while she was petting and brushing her. She was quick to respond to initial inquiry and available to meet at a time convenient to me. My cat was mellow on my return. All was in order per my instructions and she left a nice, informative note. Will absolutely use Nancy again when I go out of town.”

17. Julia W.
“Julia is such an amazing young woman. She is genuine and reliable and just a really great person. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and will 100% be having her stay with our fur babies again. It is such a peaceful feeling knowing that both your babies and your home are well cared for while you are away. My cats are not very friendly, but there is something about Julia that completely changed that in them, at least when it came to her. They totally love her!! It is probably because of her calm and patient manner with them. Thank you again for everything Julia!”
18. Genesis D.
“I had the pleasure of working alongside Genesis at an animal hospital for about a year, and I can confidently say that she would make an excellent pet sitter. Not only is she extremely attentive and caring when it comes to animals, but she also excels in client communication and is always striving to provide the best care possible. In our time working together, I observed Genesis go above and beyond to ensure the well-being of the animals in our care, as well as to help out her co-workers when needed. Her experience at the vet office has equipped her with valuable skills in animal behavior, medication administration, and customer service. I have no doubt that Genesis will bring the same level of dedication and care to her role as a pet sitter. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and knowledgeable person to care for their furry friends.”
