“Second time having Sara over for visits with my cat while I was away. She was wonderful, communicated well, sent lots of updates with cute photos and videos. I highly recommend Sara for your cat visiting needs!”


About: Hi ! my name is Justice, I'm currently a part time student and only have classes in the mornings on weekdays. I am available weekends and overnights. I have lived with multiple dogs all my life and currently have one dog of my own! I've also worked in Petsmart where I was in charge of feeding, walks, and play time, of pets so I am used to sticking to a schedule and accommodating pet parents !! I love all dogs and have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I also have some experience with training. I have previously cared for puppies all the way to senior dogs and have knowledge when it comes to assessing dangerous situations! I am also certified in pet CPR as well as pet first aid! I look forward to working with you as well as your pet!! I work a steady 9–5 schedule on weekdays with weekends completely free, which allows me to build reliable, consistent pet care into my daily routine. Mornings and evenings are dedicated to caring for animals—whether that’s feeding, walking, administering medication, or just spending quality time. On weekends, I’m fully available for extended visits, drop-ins, or overnight care. Caring for animals isn’t something I squeeze in—it’s something I intentionally make space for in my life. Whether your pet needs a calm companion, detailed attention, or a familiar routine while you’re away, I’m here to provide dependable and loving care every time. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or welcoming them into mine, their comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. In Your Home: I understand how important it is for pets to stay in their familiar environment. When caring for your pet in your home, I’ll treat your space with the utmost respect—leaving everything exactly as I found it, or even better. I follow your instructions closely, maintain your pet’s routine, and always make sure they’re calm, comfortable, and cared for like part of my own family. In My Home: I live in a single-level home with a large, fully fenced-in yard—perfect for safe outdoor time and play. Inside, we have two spacious bedrooms and a relaxed, open layout. Pets have unrestricted access throughout the home so they can settle in, explore, and feel completely at ease. I aim to make it a true home-away-from-home experience where your pet feels loved and secure at all times.


“Barbara took great care of our cat Charly! We were very happy and at ease with the updates about how our Charly was and how his visits were going. The consistency and thoroughness of the visits and updates were great. We were at ease our entire vacation knowing the he was very well taken care of. We will definitely be rebooking with Barbara for our next vacation and of course recommend her.”


“Diane and Dave are trustworthy, thoughtful caregivers of our dog, Terry, who checked in w updates and questions and took his medical needs and the summer heat seriously. They gave him lots of loving attention, and we returned home to a happy dog! We’re so pleased to have met them and plan to rely on them for our next trip!”


“Christine is amazing! She made sure our anxious kitties were well taken care of and loved while we were away. Will absolutely book with her again for our next trips and recommend her to friends and family! Thank you Christine!!”


“Victoria was so helpful and amazing with my teenage kitty. She sent so many fun pictures and it was clear that Cleo enjoyed having her around. Definitely snagging her for any time I go out of town! Thank you Victoria!!!”

“Panda and Panther enthusiastically endorsed Jillian when I came home. They said their food bowls were filled to the brim and their water was cool and refreshed daily. But what really impressed them was her relaxed and gentle way with them. They said she was a cat whisperer! Thanks, Jillian!”


“Richie is great. I have booked his services a couple of times to visit our home to take care of our dog Pepper. Richie is reliable, and stays in communication by sending me photos and texts on each visit. Ensured Pepper was fed, had plenty of water, gave treats, and allergy medication. It gives us peace of mind that Pepper is well taken care of while we are away. Also, Richie brought in our mail and packages. If you're looking for someone to care for your furry family member, consider Richie.”



“Elizabeth is so sweet, warm, and loving! I can tell just how much she loves our dogs and they love her too. We are so excited for Elizabeth to walk our babies every day!”


About: I have always had small dogs growing up and got my own dog 5 years ago. I have watched my neighbors and family members dogs and cats of all sizes. I care for these animals like I would want my dog to be cared for. I’m very compassionate and detail oriented. I will do whatever the owner instructs and provide updates with pictures. I have 2 part time jobs currently so I have random time gaps throughout the day to fill. I will be starting graduate school in September and will also still have some random time gaps throughout the day and I’m looking to fill them with some animal love. I pay close attention to details left by owners about their pets care plan. I treat every animal with love and compassion like they are my own pet. I care for pets like I with the same high standards I have for anyone who cares my own pet. I provide updates and pictures while I’m caring for pets so the owners know their animal is safe and in good hands.

About: It all started with my late dog, Tucker. A lab mix who was rescued and had aggressive tendencies towards dogs & people. After watching almost every episode of The Dog Whisperer (Cesar Milan) I began to help Tucker get past those fears. I loved taking him on long walks and eventually was walking him off leash. He’s gone 9 years now but I still use the techniques I learned with every dog I interact with. I consider myself the go-to walker, sitter, boarder with a number of family and friends. When the dogs are with me, nothing else comes first. And your furry friends would be no different! I work full time but have a very predictable schedule and very rarely work on the weekends. The office is less than a 10 minute drive from my apartment. When I board at my apartment, your dog is guaranteed to get exercise as I take all visitors on a walk for potty breaks as the nearest grassy area is a park 2 blocks away. But when we go for a dedicated walk, I usually log at least 1-2 miles depending on how healthy your dog is. Walks are the exercise and I try to keep them focused on staying on the sidewalk until it’s time for them to go to the bathroom. That focus helps to drain their energy. I always take time intro the dogs to the apartment properly. I don’t immediately let them loose until we’ve had a chance to walk around together inside. It helps them get comfortable with the new environment and with me. If you enforce prohibiting your dog from being on couches and/or beds, I can certainly continue that during their stay. If not, I don’t mind snuggling with a dog on the couch or bed (as long as they wait for me to invite them up.)

“Rachell watched my 2 cats and did a wonderful job - despite the fact that they're usually very skittish. She was able to capture pictures of them to send me which makes my day when I'm away. Rachell was neat, communicated constantly and did a great job. She is very personable and put my mind at ease. I highly recommend her and will be reaching out to her when I will be out of town.”


About: I've owned and taken care of all kind of family, friend and neighbors dogs for decades. Boarded, walked, fed them and became their best friend. I am currently working from home so I am available to walk, board or visit your pets any time and can assure you that they will feel very loved! My number one priority is that pets and clients feel safe with me. I am an honest, and trustworthy person. In your home, I will follow directions and respect boundaries to ensure every service provided is a great experience for you and your bundle of joy! Walks will be taken in the neighborhood and visits in-house will only be limited to rooms given permission to be in.

“Kaylyn was very prompt and responsible while caring for our pets, three dogs, cats and rats. She always cleaned up after them and took pictures each visit. My dogs to a liking to her very quickly...somtimes they bark but with her it was no problem. Kaylyn always communicated in a timely fashion. Thank you so much Kaylyn for watching the pets on short notice! We will be using her in the future if she is still available.”


“Claire was a great help in caring for my two cats during a time when I needed it. She was reliable and stayed in close contact with me, being sure to reach out if she had any questions. She did a nice job of attending to the needs of my kitties. I appreciated the help and will call on her again.”
