“I can't recommend Taylor enough! She took incredible care of my 15-year-old cat, Ashes, who is currently in hospice care. Taylor was very easy to get in touch with, followed all my instructions perfectly, and was a joy to communicate with. She truly went above and beyond to make sure Ashes was well cared for. I received reports and pictures of Ashes after every visit. Her kindness and dedication gave me so much peace of mind during my trip. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter!”


“Sydney is fantastic! She is knowledgeable, trustworthy and reliable - very important characteristics for someone coming into our home and caring for our pets. My husband and I were hesitant to hire someone we didn’t know, but it turned out to be a great decision and I feel very fortunate to have connected with Sydney. She was great with both our dog and cat, and followed all instructions during twice weekly visits over the past two months. Our pets look forward to future visits with Sydney!”


About: I have been around all kinds of animals my entire life, especially dogs. I have been around all ages of dogs and currently have two Australian Shepherd border collie mixes. I worked for two years at a dog daycare, boarding and training facility. Although I am not a dog trainer, I did work with a couple of dogs with the trainers as helpers. I have worked with all kinds of dogs, aggressive dogs, particular dogs, scared dogs and can confidently say I up for a challenge. I am also a mom so nothing can gross me out! If you were looking to do anything at my house, I do have like I said two of my own dogs as well as a daughter under a year old I accept only one- two dogs at a time for my house, but my dogs are super friendly and I actually used them as introduction dogs at the daycare I worked at. Our front yard is not fenced in, but I do have a fenced in pen where I let them do the majority of their bathroom breaks and then I take them on walks through throughout the property. I am currently working part-time because I am a Mom and can only work on the weekends maybe occasionally during the week. My goal is to create a tight schedule that way we have no conflicts. Depending on your dog and the training that you guys have in place, I can help Help with a number of things. If we need to work on keeping them in the crate or keeping them out of the crate, or doing leash walks. I can do little drop in daycare sessions where we play outside. It really depends on what your dog needs, and what the limitations there are.

About: I care deeply about animals and treat each one like they’re my own. 💞 I’m currently on track to become a nurse 🩺, so being nurturing and responsible is part of who I am! I’m flexible, trustworthy, and I bring a lot of heart into everything I do💘 I believe even the most shy or misunderstood pets just need someone who sees them with patience and kindness 😊❤️Whether your pet is young and playful or older and needs extra love, I’m here to make them feel safe, seen, and cared for! Pet care is something I take seriously! I’ll always be there for your pet no matter what. Even with school, I make sure my schedule stays flexible so I can give your furry friend all the love, attention, and care they need throughout the day. Whether it’s morning, afternoon, or evening, I’ll be there to keep them company, stick to their routine, and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! Your pet won’t ever feel alone or overlooked with me. When I’m caring for pets in your home, I treat it with the same love and respect I give my own. I follow your pet’s routine closely from feeding and potty breaks to walks, playtime, and rest. I truly love spending time with animals, cuddling them, and making sure they feel safe, seen, and cared for. If your pet loves to play, I’m always happy to join in! Whether it’s fetch, tug-of-war, or just silly playtime around the house, I’ll match their energy with love and patience. I also keep your home tidy and will send updates so you can feel at peace knowing your furry friend is being well cared for.

“My cat Harry was very happy with Leah and has requested her to watch him over the holidays! He was well taken care of and Leah also got the Mail for us! She did an outstanding job!”


About: I have cared for many dogs, including mine and others. I have experience with dog sitting 10 lbs puppies all the way to caring for large Great Danes. I am recently a new cat owner and have watched over cats for several years for others. I am a collegiate athlete, but I just got into my off-season. I would love to do drop-in visits while I am on break from school. I also have a lot of experience with extended pet care while owners are on vacation. My schedule is more flexible now that I am out of season, I can't wait to fill it with time for your pup. I have always had a dog in my home growing up, so I truly have a love for animals. Every pup I get the opportunity to care for, I treat them like my own. I love meeting every animal's personality and providing them with the care and comfort they deserve. I always want the best experience for them, leaving them happy, which leaves you happy!


“I can’t say enough positive things about Branka! I have used her several times for drop in visits to check in our two cats while we’ve traveled out of town. She is very responsive and professional and our kitties, Lilly and Max, love her! She’s great at sending pics and updating us. When Max was sick, she was even able to assist with giving him medication (which for those of you who have cats, you know getting them to eat a pill is not the easiest task.) Also, our other cat Lilly gets bad separation anxiety, but Branka is always able to calm her and now I’m pretty sure they are best friends :) So if you are looking for someone to take great care of your fur babies while you are away, I highly recommend her!”


“Kendall is fantastic. After cycling through multiple sitters we finally found her and she made the whole process infinitely easier. I never had to worry about whether my dogs were well taken care of, and she's incredibly communicative should any needs arise. On top of that, the dogs love her and even look for her on weekends, and if that doesn't speak highly of her skill with animals I don't know what can. I couldn't recommend Kendall highly enough.”

“Immediately upon meeting Avary, all 4 of our dogs were completely comfortable with her which speaks volumes. She was flexible and followed all directions for our pups. When she had a question, she asked instead of guessing. Avary gave our dogs love and checked in regularly. I was so nervous leaving them in the care of someone new but Avary did not disappoint. She showed that the wellbeing of our dogs were her top priority.”
