“Samantha was amazing with our 2 older cats! They are very shy but were both comfortable every time she came over, and she helped out with insulin injections for our diabetic cat as well. I would recommend anyone who needs help with their pets to contact Samantha!”
“Thank you for taking care of our kitty! Loren was very easy to communicate with and did everything we requested for the sit. We'll definitely ask her to sit again in the future!”
“Hunter is amazing; caring, capable, responsible, and flexible. We had a difficult issue with the snow storm and Hunter went out of her way to make sure our kitties were taken care of. Cannot say enough great things about Hunter as a caretaker for our fur babies.”
“Caroline was amazing! I had a last minute request for a drop in visit for my dog and she was super quick to respond, very communicative and was wonderful to work with. I would definitely rebook her the next time I need someone to walk my dog! Thank you, Caroline!”
“Jen is absolutely amazing! Our 2 cats warmed up to her very quickly. She spent time playing with them and loving them on every visit. The daily notes, pictures, and videos were great to receive every day. We will definitely be utilizing Jen’s services in the future and highly recommend her!”
“My husband and I knew upon meeting Tara for the first time that she was the perfect fit with our cat, Charlie. Charlie is very shy and usually hides when people come to visit. However, this was not the case when Tara entered our home. Tara did a top-notch job taking care of Charlie during her drop in visits over a period of one month. We were so happy when she sent up pictures and updates. Tara is reliable, kind, professional, and a true animal lover. Cats can be messy with the litter, etc. But with Tara on the job, we came home to a very neat home and well-fed, content cat. We will definitely seek Tara services again. Furthermore, we highly recommend her. Thanks a million, Tara.”
“Grace was so great! She dropped in twice a day to visit our cat and give him some company. She was very communicative and sent lots of pics. We came home to a relaxed and happy cat.”
“Karina and Jared did a great job looking after my 2 cats while we were away. Jared did the drop in visits to feed, water and scoop. Karina was available for any questions I had and provided help with the Rover scheduling. They kept me up to date on the cat care and were great with communication. Thanks!”
About: I’ve taken care of my personal dogs as well as friends and family dogs for years now. I am experienced with dogs of all sizes, as well as all personalities. I am familiar with low energy and high energy breeds, and know how to cater to each of them. I also specialize in dogs that have anxiety as well as reactivity, and know how to monitor their behavior and understand them in a way that most humans and other animals do not. I currently work full time, Monday-Friday so all animals would need to be able to be home alone for around 8-9 hours during the weekdays. My current hours are 6:30am-3pm, so I make a point to be available in the morning before I leave for work, and then after I return from work. This also applies to drop-ins. I make a point to be fully available on weekends since I am away often during the weekdays, but am also home early enough during the week that I can spend the afternoon, evening, and night with your furry little ones. I will care for your pets by following the owners’ and pets’ needs, I never stray from instructions. I will ensure safety precautions are always taken, as your animals safety is my highest priority.
About: I'm available to provide the best care for all your furry (or fur-less), scaly, and or feathered friends. I understand that each pet has unique needs, from daily walks and belly rubs for dogs to creating the perfect habitat for reptiles and keeping your cat’s world enriched with toys and cuddles. I offer compassionate care tailored to your pet’s specific personality and requirements, ensuring they feel loved, safe, and happy while you're away. No matter the species, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family, with lots of attention, patience, and of course, treats! I'm currently working and going to school part-time, but feel free to reach out and I'll see what I can do to help you out! I always prefer to provide care in your home, and will treat your home, property and of course your pets with the upmost respect. In addition to caring for your pets, I am happy to bring in the mail or delivered packages, and provide other random services at your request as needed. I may be able to provide boarding care in my home with notice on a case by case basis provided your pet is house-trained and gets along well with my personal pets.
“Marissa was absolutely great! We have two cats with big personalities and she was patient in getting to know each of them. She was quick to respond, polite, and left very detailed feedback! We loved all the pictures she shared too! Marissa went above and beyond to make sure our babies were well taken care of and comfortable while we were away. We are looking forward to working with her in the future.”
About: I’ve had dogs for most of my life and have been pet sitting on the side for over 2 and a half years now! I mostly do overnights, making sure dogs are well taken care of and attended to. I am currently pet sitting full time, so I will be available almost every day, at any given time! Whether that’s a drop in visit or an overnight stay! I try to spend as much time as much time as I have with your dog to make sure they have been let out to go to the bathroom and exercise if needed!
“Finding Midori to help with my dogs while I took a trip was truly a blessing. I work from home and never leave my dogs so they have separation anxiety usually. I got videos from Midori showing how excited they were to see her every day that I was away. Lots of updates and communication which was greatly appreciated. She did a great job tiring them out and I’ll be trusting her in the future for my future trips and sitter needs!”

She has watched other dogs for family members and friends and makes sure she goes above and beyond.

She is always working to educate herself better on dogs and how to make sure they are safe and comfortable. I have never worried about leaving my animal in her care.”

Jesse R.
“I can’t say enough great things about Jesse. He’s incredibly affordable, reliable, and just all-around amazing with animals. My dog is super friendly, hyper, and has an endless amount of energy—but somehow, he keeps up with her like it’s no big deal. She always comes back happy, tired, and clearly well cared for. He has a natural way with animals and so much experience—not just with dogs, but all kinds of pets. It’s such a relief knowing she’s in good hands with someone who genuinely loves what he does. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, energetic, and kind dog walker!”
