“Erin house-sat for us when we needed a cat sitter for four days on short notice. She was amazing! Her connection to the kitties and thoughtful, conscientious approach to the care of our beloved companions set my mind at ease. It was clear from our first conversation that she was trustworthy and dependable, which was reassuring since we've never had a house-sitter. We have a senior cat who requires twice-daily medication and Erin handled all his special needs. She communicated clearly, left the house in excellent condition, and is also just a wonderful person all around!”


“Amy was able to take care of my puppy for a night even though I reach out last minute, came for a meet and greet and. Took good care of my energetic puppw!”

“Sophie was perfect in every way! She took excellent care of our Peekapoo, Gia for two consecutive nights while we were attending a wedding. Gia, who has separation anxiety warmed up to Sophie relatively quickly thanks to her experience with and love of dogs combined with her mild-mannered, gentle style. We had some delays due to weather and late starts, she was very accommodating, which eased the pressure. Would definitely book her again! Highly recommended:):)”

“Kylie was great! I came back to my apartment in the same shape I left it without any wreckless behavior from my pooch! She even brought him some bones to chew on, which he loved.”


About: I have been dog/cat sitting since I was 11 and its held a place in my heart since. Walking my dog is my absolute favorite past time. Seeing happy animals makes me happy. I bond with every animal that I meet and I hope to meet so many more :) I currently work full time at a sandwich shop and part time and Ace Hardware. I do work a lot, however my real passion is caring for animals. I always make time for my pets, as I would do for yours. I live in a quiet neighborhood, where I go on plenty of walks everyday. I live with my mother who has a 7 month old husky-mix puppy and 3 cats, I have a 2 year old beagle-mix puppy, who is incredibly loving. I can easily crate your dog if needed.

About: I have had dogs since I was 2 months old! When I was 9, I started my first business as the neighborhood dog and cat walker/sitter/bather with my best friend. We kept the business going for 2 years. In my adult life I have rescued dogs, had cats and a whole litter of kittens, and currently have two dogs! Becky is 6 and Chaga is 1&1/2, they are the loves of our lives. They both love other dogs and cats. My partner and I both work from home most of the week and create our own schedules. We own our businesses, and they don't require us to be staring at a computer by any means. I frequently take breaks to take the dogs for walks, hikes, or out for a swim. Adding more dogs to our pack can be as seamless as possible. Our dogs have a very lavish life. Our furniture is their furniture. I am happy to adapt to whatever you want to be enforced! We have a nice big yard almost at the end of a dead end street, with very friendly dog neighbors. No traffic! Our dogs are generally pretty free range, and enjoy trail walks and games of fetch. I love a dog that can be off leash, but can of course keep them leashed as necessary. Our pups love cats, and cats are very much welcome in our home. Our younger pup is crate trained for when we are away for longer periods of time, so crate trained or not works for me!

“Michelle took amazing care of our pets — Marlo, Mika, Gaia, and Mila — while we were away. She provided walking, feeding, and overnight care, and we couldn’t have asked for a more professional and attentive caregiver.

Her calm and friendly demeanor made it clear she genuinely cared about our animals’ well-being. We came home to happy pets and a tidy home.
