“Jazmin is amazing. She had excellent communication before and after visits with my kitty. She took photos and wrote the most detailed and sweet notes after each stay. I knew my kitty was safe in her care which gives me so much peace of mind. I’ll definitely be using her again in the future! Thanks so much!”
About: Hi! I’ve been a proud dog mom and animal caretaker for over 10 years, and my love for animals started at a very young age. I truly see pets as family—whether they’re my own or yours—and I treat each one with the same care, love, and attention. Expect lots of cuddles, belly rubs, and treats (with your permission, of course!). I understand that leaving your furry family member with someone new can feel a little nerve-wracking. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel completely at ease. I’m happy to send photo updates, take them on walks, keep them company with a movie if I step out, and tuck them in at night with their favorite toys so they feel safe and loved I work remotely, so I can be pretty flexible with my schedule and yours. I can work from your home if needed, be there 24/7 or to just check in. Depending on your pets needs, I can take them for walks, let them out for a bathroom breaks, play with them and their favorite toys, and provide top tier belly rubs.
“Wow! Emily is the best sitter I’ve had in a long time. I booked her for a long visit, and was so nervous to be away from my cat. But Emily gave me reassurances by sending me photos and updates on my cats behavior. It’s a really good sign that my shy but loving kitty warmed up to her so quickly, and was even waiting for her by the window on their last visit! Emily also took care of my plants, which was so essential too. I would 10/10 hire her for your pet sitting needs, I will surely be doing the same next time I need a sitter ❤️”
“I know my pup is always well cared for when Alyssa drops in. Appreciate her being able to provide my senior pup with his diabetes meds. She always takes super cute pics too!”
“Mel did a fantastic job caring for my cat while I was out of town. She followed all instructions and sent daily updates, and let me know when food was running out. Highly recommend and would have her as my cat sitter again!”
“Ivy was extremely communicative and caring when taking care of our two cats. She went above and beyond, taking time to figure out their favorite treat flavors, brushing them so well that their coats got way softer, and taking lots of cute pics and sending them our way while we were gone. We’ll definitely be working with her again!”
“Tina was able to take care of my cats when I needed her in a pinch! From providing a ton of pictures, to giving them little scavenger hunts with treats - I knew they were well taken care of when I was away!”
“She’s so good with my two boy cats!! One of my boys is a really a shy one and she’s always able to get him out to play. I’ve had come to check on my boys more than once now! I highly recommend her!”
“Karmelita was amazing! Zippo can be kind of skittish with sitters, but had no problem coming out for her. Our cat needs medication regularly twice a day and Karmelita had no problem giving him the medication or with the schedule. And even stayed to play with him for a bit! She was an amazing communicator and took lots of photos. I highly recommend Karmelita and hope she is available next time we need someone to watch our cat!”
“Jovi did a terrific job caring for my two dogs and 2 feral cats. She followed the scheduled times and spent the full 30 minutes with my dogs. She was willing to take in mail, put out trash cans and clean up my senior dogs accidents.”
“Jessica loved our puppies and took the best care. Although we were unable to meet in person, she made sure we felt very comfy with her taking care of the puppies. She shared pictures all the time and always asked when she got questions/worried about them. The doggies love her too! Would hire her again without doubts!”
“Madison was great with all 4 of our cats. She took care of the water, food, and litter while we were away. Even she did more than we asked for like throwing away the litter in the dumpster, cleaning food bowls, etc. Definitely we would trust her with our cats again”
About: (español abajo) I grew up with dogs and cats in Indiana and know how important truly individualized care is for each pet. I have experience owning cats and dogs ranging from round-the-clock care for tiny kittens who haven’t opened their eyes, fostering seniors with special needs, and providing enrichment activities for healthy adults and engaging walks for healthy good boys and girls. Whatever your pet’s/pets’ needs, I’m excited to meet them and build their trust. Como abogada de inmigración, también sé español! Crecí con perros y gatos en el estado de Indiana, y sé que importante es tener cuidado individualizado por cada mascota. Tengo experiencia como dueña de gatos y perros, incluso como proveer servicio por todas horas a gatitos recién nacidos, cuidar mascotas de edades avanzadas y con necesidades especiales, y hacer actividades con mascotas de cualquier edad. Lo que sean las necesidades de su/s mascota/s, estoy emocionada conocerlos y ganar su confianza.

“Thank you Ana for taking care of my boys during the busy holiday weekend. I appreciate that you were able to step up and cover an extra day when my flight was canceled as part of the Southwest meltdown.”
“Kaitlyn has great communication and is very reliable and enthusiastic about pet sitting. Our picky dog Lotus likes her as soon as they met, and that is a good sign! We would recommend Kaitlyn to someone who needs a friendly and responsible pet sitter.”
About: Hi, I'm Ana! I'm originally from Peru and a proud pet parent to a 8-year-old rescue pup and a sweet 11-year-old cat. I've cared for animals most of my life and deeply understand the love (and quirks!) that come with each one. Whether it's belly rubs, leash training, or just keeping your fur baby company, I treat them with the same patience and love I give my own. I work from home, which gives me lots of flexibility to fit pet care into my daily routine. I love taking walks throughout the day. So your dog’s stroll is not just a chore, it's something I genuinely enjoy! I’m available for morning, mid-day, and evening drop-ins and walks, and I’m happy to stick to your pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. During drop-ins and walks, I always follow your instructions carefully and double-check that doors and gates are secure before leaving. I won’t bring other pets along, and I never rush walks, each visit is tailored to your pet’s pace and needs. You’ll also get plenty of updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your fur baby is in good hands.
“Leah was great with our cat Stanley! She was attentive and made sure he was well take care of. Thank you, Leah! I would work with her again and would recommend her to anyone with cats based on our experience.”
“Kalista has been taking care of our cat for a while now, and we couldn’t be happier! She’s reliable, conscientious, and kind. Monkey always seems at ease when we get home. :)”

Brandee is the absolute best! She replied to my booking so fast. Eventhough she wasn't available for the entire booking, she actively searched for friends who could help. Other sitters just turned down the request, or didn't reply. We agreed on some days that would work. The request was to care for tiny, sick, shelter kittens. The job was not easy, it involved an application to the animal shelter, wearing full protective gear, coordinating with the foster coordinator, and then caring for sick kittens. She handled it like a pro! She found her way in and worked with the kittens and even sent pictures. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter!
This is the second time Brooke has looked after our babies and done such an amazing job! I can truly relax when I'm out of town knowing that she is watching after them. She sends tons of amazing pictures and gives the best updates, she just goes above and beyond!
Anjelica was great! I booked her last minute and she was super accommodating, setting up a meet and great quickly. She was very communicative, followed all guidelines and provided updates with lots of photos. I felt comfortable leaving my cat under her care while I was away and was able to enjoy my time knowing all was being taken care of back home. Thanks again! 🐈⬛
Rosa was fantastic with my dog and cat!! My dog isn’t the best with new people, but I appreciated her coming to do a meet and greet first. She was patient with him and built trust and he was super excited when she came to walk him! She did great and I appreciate her communication. She’s also super sweet in general and I will definitely book her again :)
Julissa took excellent care of my boy, checked in everyday, sent me pictures, notified me when she spotted some fleas and even offered to administer some medicine. She cleaned out his litter box, gave him treats and lots of attention, just what he needed while I was away. Highly recommend her services and will definitely try to book with her again next time I have to go out of town.
