“We were able to relax and enjoy vacation knowing Scott was taking good care of our kitty. We got updates and a lot of pictures while we were away. We will definitely be using Scott again!”

“Such a great dog sitter! My dog is a senior dog with quite a few specific needs - meds, food, etc. Noah was so wonderful! He did everything I asked and more. I know my dog was in great hands and that he truly cared about her. Thank you for taking the stress out of leaving for the week.”
“Molly took fantastic care of our young, play-oriented cat, sending us photo updates after every visit. She was also very responsive and flexible in our pre-trip communications. Highly recommended! Would hire again in a heartbeat.”

“This was our first time using Rover and Krista exceeded all of our expectations with her care of our 2 cats. She followed all of our care instructions, gave frequent and thorough updates, and made us feel confident that our cats were safe. We would absolutely work with Krista again for future trips!”

“Briana did an excellent job doing lunchtime drop-ins for our puppy Tango! She was great with her communication and checked in with me if she had any questions. All instructions were followed and it's clear that she is a big animal lover! Would definitely book her again. :)”

“Anne always does a great job with our kitties. She is conscientious and thoughtful in the ways that she cares for our cats, with great communication and flexibility. Able to handle complex medical needs, and just a kind person. We will hire her again!”
“Addison was absolutely amazing with Phoebe. She was very thorough in her daily updates and always provided lots of pictures. I have a more anxious cat around people and she was very good at respecting her boundaries and listening to her cues. I would definitely recommend Addison to anyone looking for someone to watch their pets while they are away :)”

About: I am a dedicated dog lover with hands-on experience caring for large breeds, especially strong, energetic pups like German Shepherds, Huskies, and other working breeds. I’m comfortable and confident handling dogs who need a calm, steady leader — including those who may be reactive to other dogs, people, or environmental triggers. I also have experience caring for dogs with special medical needs. I have experience applying ointments, eye drops, and administering pills and liquid medicines. I understand that cats have unique personalities and routines, and I’m comfortable with everything from feeding schedules and litter box care to administering medications and giving space to shy or independent cats. I provide calm, attentive care and make sure every pet feels safe, respected, and comfortable in their own home while you’re away. I like to be transparent when I take care of other peoples fur babies and will often share updates via text with added videos and photos of the time I spend with your pet, as well as time stamped detail of feeding, playtime, and potty updates. Pet care is a planned and consistent part of my daily and weekly routine. I organize my schedule to ensure I have dedicated time for walks, drop-ins, feeding, play, and companionship without feeling rushed. I build in flexibility to accommodate different pet needs, including early mornings, evenings, and weekends when needed. Because I plan my time carefully, I’m able to be reliable, punctual, and fully present for every pet in my care. I care for pets by following their established routines as closely as possible to help them feel safe and comfortable. In my client’s home, I make sure feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box care, and medications are handled exactly as instructed. I take time to understand each pet’s personality, energy level, and any behavioral or medical needs. For dogs, I focus on safe, structured walks, positive reinforcement, and calm handling. For cats, I provide attentive care while respecting their boundaries, keeping their environment clean, and offering affection at their comfort level. I always prioritize safety, clear communication, and leave detailed updates so pet parents feel confident their pets are in good hands.
“Shykala did a wonderful job taking care of my cat while I was out of town. She really took the time to bond with him and she provided detailed updates, including lots of photos. I'll definitely book with Shykala again in the future!”

“Darwin did a wonderful job with our 2 cats. They are so quick to respond to texts and always sent a descriptive note about how each visit went. Our cats were happy and relaxed when we arrived home again.”

“Teresa did a fabulous job caring for my senior cat! Kate's a hider and Teresa always made sure to find her and say hi, and Kate even came out and ate in front of Teresa, which speaks to her warmth and how comfortable even shy pets are around her.”
“Jessica was great! Very friendly, communicative and made sure I received complete updates about my cats. I could tell they were cared for properly and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.”

About: I have experience taking care of cats and dogs for family and friends for over 10 years. Growing up my family always had cats and dogs. I currently have 2 cats of my own, Kenobi and Barbie. They are the lights of my life, just like your pets are yours! Just like people, ko two pets are exactly alike. They have their own unique needs and preferences. My goal is to understand and respect what makes your pet special and give them the best care that I can. This includes play, pets, grooming, and cleaning up their messes. I currently have limited availability during the week due to my job. However, I have wide weekend availability and will be more open in the summer. My goal is to understand and respect what makes your pet special. No two animals are the same and have different needs. I strive to give them the best care I can, including play, pets, grooming, and cleaning up their messes.

About: Hi there! My name is Lauren and I love all fur babies big and small! I have been an animal lover all my life and enjoy spending time with them as much as I can. Ever since I was a young teen, I have been an avid dog walker in my neighborhood, trying to make some extra cash but also getting to spend time with dogs as I did not have my own. Since then, I have been cat sitting for the last 5 years for my family and friends when they go out of town. In most recent years, I have been dog sitting for my coworkers on the weekends. Many of my coworkers have dogs and bring them to our pet friendly office. I have become quite popular with the dogs at the office as I love to take them out and play fetch in the grass space outside. I work Monday - Thursday until 4:30 pm but I am home by 5 pm. Fridays, I am available after 12 pm. I also have open availability on the weekends. I have 2 cats of my own who enjoy their own company, but I am very happy to pet sit in your own home if you are comfortable! I will guarantee that your pet is safe when outdoors whether that be on a leash or within the safety of a fenced yard.
“Sierra did a great job of showing up on time and caring for my kitty. I was really comfortable with her during our meet and greet, Peepers was too so I knew it would be a good fit. I will definitely look for Sierra’s availability next time I need to travel. Thanks!”

“Dawn is amazing. She made my dog so happy that he was literally smiling. Dawn arrived to my house at the scheduled times, fed my dog, and played with him. I highly recommend Dawn and am so appreciative of her!”

I feel lucky to have found someone just blocks away to watch my two cats. I am new to the city and do not know my neighbors yet. Eleanor was easy to communicate with, came over ahead of time to meet the cats, and kept things under control in a heat wave. It was a huge peace of mind to know my pets were cared for while I was gone.

Jessica gives my cat Kevin so much love and attention when I am gone! Kevin gets really lonely by himself and needs a lot of interactive play and Jessica makes sure he gets lots of play time and pets :) She leaves great updates to help me see how he's doing and she takes the cutest pictures!

Addison did a great job taking care of Olive while I was away. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure he was comfortable and well looked after. I appreciated the updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind throughout the week. I would absolutely trust Addison to care for Olive again and highly recommend her to other pet owners.

Krista is a genuinely cheerful person who truly loves animals, and it shows. She is incredibly professional and precise, following all my briefing instructions perfectly and managing a somewhat complex key-handover without any issues. Not only did she ensure that food, water, and the litter box were always perfectly clean, but she also spent time giving my cat long, fun play sessions. I felt completely at ease leaving my cat in her hands

Kiah was just wonderful with my 5 month old puppy who has a major separation anxiety. She was very sweet and patient going on walks with him and playing with his toys as well as calming him down and making sure he is not nervous that I was gone for a few hours. I highly recommend Kiah! She is very nice and responsible, and great with the dogs :)
