I couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter. I love that Katie and her kiddos came over to make my kitties feel loved and at home with a family around. She went above and beyond what was asked of her! She washed the litter box without me asking, which is no small feat. I’m so grateful for her care and would recommend her to anyone looking for a quality cat/dog sitter.

Jen was the best!! She provided outstanding care for our cat. She kept all appointments on time. Kept us informed how our cat was doing, sent lots of pictures and text updates. She spent extra time playing with our cat. When we got home, we were met by a very happy kitty!!! She is usually mad at us for a few hours, but not this time!! Returning after 7 days, it was like we never left!!! I would recommend Jen anytime!!! All ready have her booked for our next trip!

About: My pups and I are happy, healthy, fit, and fun - we walk, run, or hike daily, and would love to take others out with us too. At the moment I am working 4/7 days so can only offer weekend boarding, or friendly pups for long term boarding with the understanding that on work days the dogs have the house and the yard and each other for company, but no direct supervision during work hours. My days off (fri-sun) are all about the animals! Your pups will be treated as if they were my own. They will have company, comfort, and as much or as little exercise as required.

About: Pet sitting isn’t just a job for me—it’s my heart. I’m a deeply compassionate, reliable sitter who treats every pet as if they were my own. I have extensive hands-on experience caring for cats and dogs of all personalities, with a special gift for anxious, shy, and senior pets who need extra patience and reassurance. I’m currently enrolled in animal behavior coursework, which helps me read body language, respect boundaries, and create a calm, stress-free environment for every animal in my care. Whether your pet is playful and energetic or prefers quiet companionship, I meet them exactly where they are. I’m attentive to routines, medications, feeding instructions, and subtle changes in behavior—and I communicate clearly so you always feel confident and at ease while you’re away. From cozy cuddle sessions to gentle play, enrichment, and structured walks, your pet’s comfort and safety always come first. Animals are my happy place, and it’s an honor to care for them 💗🐶🐱 I'm currently enrolled in The Animal Behavior Institute online. And my schedule is very flexible, as I can study my Carnivore behavior course anyplace there is Internet. I take my pet sitting job very seriously. It's my honor and responsibility to make sure all of your baby's needs are met. I follow any instructions and always double check locks, bring in the mail and take out garbage if needed. My priority is the safety and wellness of your precious baby. I always check in and give updates with photos!

Bridget was great! She did a wonderful job taking care of my 2 cats. She had to administer medication for 1 of my cats and kept me informed on how she was eating. I felt reassured she was eating enough because without her meds she just doesn’t eat. I loved that she sent me a daily picture of them, which wasn’t easy because they’re shy and don’t come around to any company in the house. It was like playing hide and seek but she managed to find them, lol. I recommend Bridget to care for your animals, she is trustworthy and I will definitely have her care for my cats again. Thank you so much Bridget!

About: Ever since I was young, I’ve taken care of my family’s chickens, snakes, and dogs. My neighbors also had dogs, horses, and many other animals that I’ve petsit. I loved dogs so much that I walked my neighbors dogs for free since it would be good exercise for me and for the dogs themselves. Whether cuddling or playing and even doing the dirty work like cleaning up poop or throw up, I will love your dogs like I love my own. If you’re booking me for house sitting, I will walk your dog free of charge. :) I have dog walking in the morning and tend to go to the gym at night for a few hours or a date night once in awhile, I won’t be away from your pet for more than 4-6 hours according to your wishes! To make sure our furry friends are safe, healthy, and happy I would love to have a meet n greet with the owner and their pet to go over their feedings and routine before a booking. Just like I did with my dog, I’ll give your dog my constant care and attention, giving them ample affection. For dogs I’ve taken care of at my neighbors house or my clients house, I respect whether or not they’re allowed on the couches or the bed. If they want to play I could spend hours playing with them, of course stopping when I see them becoming tired or overheated. I would also like to call myself a part time maid since I like to leave the house cleaner than I found it. I love going on walks or runs with dogs to release their energy and I’m careful to avoid other dogs if they tend to be reactive.

Teri was great! I think she left the house in a cleaner state than I left it, which I wasn't expecting. My cat was happy to see me come home of course, but only a little! I can tell he got lots of attention while I was gone. Will definitely ask her to sit again!

About: Experience caring for anxious and/or special needs animals (diapers, mobility issues, medication, senior dogs, puppies) both professionally and personally. I’ve had dogs my entire life and have been pet sitting on and off for family friends and neighbors since I was a teenager, but started doing so more professionally in the past 5 years. Most of my experience is with overnight care for dogs (ranging from a single night to a full month at a time) but I’m an animal lover with personal experience caring for every kind of pet imaginable (horses, ferrets, fish, cats, bunnies, reptiles/tortoises). I work very flexible hours part-time which mostly consists of work from home, this leaves my schedule wide open for overnight care and long stays. Very good at keeping consistency with feeding and medication schedules, as well as making sure potty breaks taken as frequently as needed (experience with special needs dogs who require being let outside/cleaned up after much more than other dogs).

So happy with Becky's services! We came home to well-loved babies for sure ?. My only complaint was that I’m pretty sure my cat MacGuyver (AKA GuyGuy) wants Becky to be his mother now ? - the photos of his time with her were quite damning and I’ve told him we might not be speaking for a while ?. Thank you, Becky! Will definitely be looking to you in the future! ❤️

First time using a non-family member for pet sitting we were gone just over a week out of country. Tama did a great job kept in touch very well every day, reports on all the furry pals. She was here at the same time every day which I'm sure the pets appreciate. Highly recommended.
