“Jessica and Eric were very personable and thorough in meeting the schedule provided for my dog. My dog is a high energy breed and they went out of their way to make sure he got plenty of exercise on walks and at the neighborhood park. I can also tell they were very patient and kind with him because he posed for quite a few photos which came out great. I would highly recommend them.”
“Jake did a fantastic job taking care of Heinz and always made sure he was well looked after. He spent a lot of time with him and showed genuine care, patience, and attention throughout.”
“We’ve used Melissa several times to take care of our three cats. She always sends photos and takes time to pet them and give them treats. We never worry about our cats when she takes care of them.”
“Lyndsey is the best, she’s so professional and goes out of her way to care for my senior dog. I don’t think I would have been able to travel without Lyndsey’s help, knowing that she’s caring for my Molly take some of my travel worries off my shoulders. Thanks!”

Spending time with animals is something I genuinely really enjoy and is relaxing for me too! I have a walkway around my apartment and plenty of room indoors to take care of your pet! Happy to further discuss specifics and what you are most comfortable with!
“Tifani is wonderful! She was caring, communicative, and responsive with all three of my cats, and she followed my care instructions to a T. I got regular updates while I was away and came home to three happy kitties. Highly recommend!”
“Blaise booked on short notice when my plans fell through for my dogs. I really liked getting pics with a report about what each did on their walk. Great, friendly and reliable!”
“Lauren was freaking awesome!!! We’ve interviewed numerous candidates since relocating and Lauren from the first meeting to the finished sitting represented herself impeccably. We were able to enjoy our time away without worrying about our furry family members, the house and not being robbed… yes, it’s happened! Lauren is now a valued friend to us. She also picked up and straightened things! Give her a shot, you’ll be so glad you did!”
“Thank you so much. I am forever grateful for you. This trip was particularly stressful, and you made one less thing for me to worry about. My pets are my world. You are a wonderful person.”

You can trust that your pet will be in safe, capable hands—getting not only love but also an experienced eye focused on their well-being.

I've been a go-to pet sitter for friends and family for many years, cementing my five years of official pet-sitting experience. I'm comfortable administering medication, sticking to strict routines, and handling pets of all sizes and temperaments. I lead an active lifestyle and love to be outdoors, which means your dog will get plenty of exercise and fresh air! Whether it’s a brisk walk, a serious run, or just some quality time in the yard, I'm happy to keep up with your pet's energy level. I understand that leaving your pet can be stressful, and my goal is to make it as easy as possible for you and as fun as possible for them! I look forward to sending you regular updates and photos. Key Takeaways: • Professional Trust: RN background and current cat mom. • Experience: 5+ years of sitting experience, plus years of informal sitting for family/friends. • Dog Comfort: Grew up with dogs (appeals to dog owners). • Active: Loves to run and be outdoors (great for high-energy dogs). I'm currently available for pet care visits every Tuesday and Friday! For greater flexibility, I also welcome advanced bookings for weekends and can easily accommodate longer time periods, ensuring consistent, reliable care whenever you need it. Safety and Differentiation As a Registered Nurse and fellow pet parent, safety is my absolute top priority—it's the core of how I work. My RN background means you're hiring a highly reliable, detail-oriented professional who excels at following routines, recognizing subtle changes in health, and safely administering medications. What sets me apart is this combination: you get five years of proven, compassionate pet-sitting experience paired with the clinical expertise to ensure your pet's physical and emotional well-being are always in the safest hands possible.
“Helena is our go-to for every trip, every time! She is so thorough and truly treats your pets as her own, and is so funny! We get so anxious when we're away from our two kitties and Helena always sends us so many photos that ease our minds. If you have particular or quirky cats, look no further for someone to keep them happy!”
“Katelyn took great care of my cat while I was away. She was gentle, attentive, and clearly treated my cat with kindness and respect. I felt confident leaving my pet with her and would gladly book with her again. Highly recommend”

Lyndsey was so amazing! She put my heart at ease for the care, compassion and communication she showed me and my cats. She is very dependable and keeps you up to date on how your pet is doing. There is no doubt that I would book her again! Thank you so much!! 💛

We had a wonderful experience with Jana! She took amazing care of both Sterling and Tiger, and we could tell they were happy, comfortable, and well looked after the entire time. Jana was also very quick to communicate with us whenever anything came up, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. On top of that, she helped keep our home clean, tidy, and safe, and we really appreciated the extra care and responsibility she showed. We would absolutely book with Jana again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!
Elisha is truly amazing. She goes above and beyond and can handle even a difficult kitty cat with ease. She is thoughtful and has great communication skills. Very trustworthy and always on time and consistent. I could relax while away knowing my kitties were in great hands. A++++
Brandy provided exceptional care for my two 16 year old cats. One of the cats was not eating much and losing weight before I had to leave town for a family matter. Brandy took the time to try different foods for him and even sat with him to ensure that he was eating and the other cat wasn’t eating his food. Brandy also paid great attention to whether my male cat was using the litter box and let me know her concerns. Brandy is reliable, kind, courteous and on top of her game. She truly is compassionate with each pet she is caring for and provides the best of care always. Thank you Brandy!
Daniela is amazing!!! She walked, fed, and played with Coffee. She sent me pictures while she was at my home. The best part was Coffee was tired when we got home and slept through the night, which he doesn’t usually if we been gone a while. We will definitely have her over again to watch Coffee.
Toneshea dropped in on my two cats for 10 days. She did great with them, followed all my instructions, and went the extra mile to rotate some of their toys and try new things since they were alone for so long. She even got my shy cat who's warry of strangers to come out her shell and seek pets and play after a few days.
