“Georgia did an incredible job pet-sitting my cat while I was away. She is extremely professional, very responsive, and a great communicator. It's also clear she truly cared about my cat and wanted to provide the best possible care. She also had a tremendous amount of respect for my place and practically left it the same way I left it. I strongly recommend!”
“Kristy did a great job taking care of our cat. He is high energy and I really appreciated that she took the time to play with him and give him some mental stimulation. She communicated regularly and was always quick to respond if I had questions. Would definitely recommend her!”
“Anna was great!! We were gone on an extended trip, and she took great care of our three kitties. She was great with providing updates and gave our cats lots of love. Definitely would book with Anna again!”
“Lorrie always did a fantastic job looking after my cat. He tends to revert back into “stray mode” with most new folks, but she look her time and managed to get him to feel safe and comfortable. I hope Lorrie can look after Champ again in the future. I highly recommend her!”
About: My name is Melissa and I have taken care of animals since my first dog in second grade. I previously had a Labrador and Shih-Tzu who both lived until old age. I also fostered older dogs who could not find homes due to their age. I currently have a one year old yellow lab mix. He’s dog and cat friendly. In order to board your dog, your dog must be dog friendly. I also require a meet and greet to ensure it’s a good fit. I offer boarding in my home. I live in a second story apartment in an old building with a large yard. There is a picture of my apartment located within my pictures. I only board one animal at a time as it's a one bedroom apartment. It allows me to spend quality time with your pet! For boarding I do provide food dishes and toys, but many animals prefer to have some of their own. I also have a medium sized dog crate if required and requested. I have open availability on weekends, however I work from home on weekdays and there may be times I need to be out of my home for up to three hours. I have a camera in my home and will be able to remotely check on your pet if I need to be away for work. I will always inform you prior to the booking if I have appointments out of the home. I am experienced feeding animals in a variety of ways and will follow your instructions on feeding and walking. I ensure animals are well cared for, played with, and that they receive the attention and care needed.
“Shelby was awesome! Our cats are normally very shy, but on Shelby's first visit they came right out. She is definitely a cat person and we felt very comfortable with her in charge. Excellent communicator. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover and caretaker my whole life. I have novice vet tech experience and I’m not afraid of the feisty ones, either! I’m working full time but my shift currently runs from 5pm to 1am Tues-Sat, so I am available for walks, play sessions, and pet/house sitting as needed around those hours. Working hours subject to change every few weeks. I like to have fun with my furry friends. I’m not afraid to get down and dirty, or even rough when the zoomies come out.
About: I grew up on a small hobby farm with goats, chickens, horses, dogs and cats. When I was younger I helped train 2 Border Collie/Australian Sheppard mix puppies. I have a good sense of what animals need and am very patient and loving with all animals. I have a infant daughter who will be accompanying me with most my drop in visits. She will be in a backpack while I take care of your furry friend. I am available most mornings, nights and weekends. I love being outside and love being around animals. I am active, friendly, and responsible. I can't wait to take care of your pet and give it love and attention. Looking forward to meeting you and your pet! I am flexible! I have little ones (2 young daughters) but they will be able to come with me on occasion and they are also pet lover themselves. I have a fenced in yard if needed and love going on long walks and hikes. We would get lots of play time in and happy to bring my dog along for companion if wanted.
About: I have years of experience caring for dogs and enjoy figuring out how each dog thinks, why they do what they do, and what they need to be happy! I've boarded single dogs, and I've done overnight stays in-house with 18 dogs at once! I also have experience with all types of medicine administration. Sadly at this time I can only watch female dogs! I have an allergy to the dog allergen Can F 5 which is only found in male dogs. Hope to start allergy shots soon! I'm also a fan of training for those who are trying to train their pups, or don't mind me doing so. Our corgi now knows the following commands: Clean up your toys (she puts them into her toy box), Wipe your paws, Speak, Go to bed, Do yoga (stretch), Spin, Belly (roll over), Snout (put your collar on), Down, Stay, and more! I am completely available for your dog- I work from home as a writer and have very few meetings or obligations throughout the day, which means I get to spend all day with my own Corgi and your dog will be well-cared for! I have a fenced yard, a great neighborhood for twice daily walks, and a very large crate for sleeping if they prefer crate sleeping. We have one spayed 1-year-old dog and one 12 year old male cat who ignores dogs unless he's cuddling with ours.
About: I have experience with cows, horses, dogs, cats, pigs, Guinea pigs, fish, chickens etc from basic feeding and cleaning to much more depending on needs I am currently working part time, and am self employed. I am willing to discuss flexibility to accommodate needs of clients, homes and their pets! I adapt to the needs of my clients and the surrounding. I do like to set up an initial meet so I can ask questions and get familiar to the space, duties and animals.
“Laurie did a fantastic job with Stella! She communicated with us was very professional and went above and beyond to take care of Stella! Laurie is very knowledgeable and friendly! We will ask for Laurie’s help again. I would highly recommend her.”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Mara. She did twice daily drop ins and walks with my 3 Australian shepherds and kitty in my camper and followed all my crazy routines/ niche camper instructions to a T. She was timely, communicative and I know my babies were loved on in my absence. My trip ended up being delayed >30 hours and ended up with 3 additional checkins. Mara and her flexibility are the only reason I stayed sane throughout my ordeal- knowing above all my family was taken care of. 10/10. I would recommend Mara to anyone looking for peace of mind any time they need to leave town!”
About: I’m a fur mama of one 85lb , 3 year old mush who is hyper, energetic , and very needy. I love taking him on walks, to the beach, and anywhere he can go to get his energy out. My fiancé and I are planning our dream wedding and I would love to offer pet care in your house ( or mine if your dog or dog friendly) . I would love to give someone the opportunity to go on vacation without the Warriors of their pet being lonely or not getting the attention they deserve. I’m well experienced in dogs of all breeds and sizes and emotional/ physical needs. I am a teacher Monday- Friday but have weekends and summers off. I can be there before and after school, as well. Weekends I am free. I want to offer your pet lots of love, care and engagement while you are traveling. I try to keep them on their normally scheduled routine and work with the pet parent to make sure they are comfortable or have any special requests.

Lindie M.
“Lindie was a fantastic dog and house sitter for my wife and I during a hectic time. The birth of our son left us worried that our other children would be left behind, but Lindie came and gave them the love and continuity that made our transition to an even larger family easier. She is a prompt communicator and dedicated caretaker. It was a pleasure to work with her and I would recommend her to any who's dogs are in need of love in their human's absence.”
