“Susan was exceptional and went over and above what was required of her. I would HIGHLY recommend her. My cat Mysti responded to her very well and I only had Mysti for 3 weeks. You cannot go wrong with this sitter. We actually used her services for 4 days and she was On time and did everything she was asked and then some. She also included photos of Mysti and I could tell Mysti was very happy. Marguerite S.”

About: I’ve been a cat owner for the last 4.5 years, after foster failing and adopting my current cat Mimi. I’ve had experience taking care of more vulnerable cats (traumatized, senior cats) and a couple of dogs through fostering as well. I mostly work from home, so I have flexibility during the week to check-in, feed, and play with pets and whenever I’m available during weekends. I’m happy to take any requests around feeding, play, clean up to make your pet feel comfortable. I personally love seeing pictures of my cat when I’m away so I will provide live updates so you know your pet is safe.
About: I grew up on a farm surrounded by dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments—which gave me a lifelong comfort and confidence working with animals. From energetic puppies to senior dogs, I’m experienced and patient with every stage of life. I have hands-on experience with basic obedience training and I’m currently working toward my dog training certification. I currently work at FedEx ground. I'm about to switch to weekends only so I can be available mon-friday anytime. Weekend nights could work if planned ahead. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a spacious, pet-friendly condo where dogs have plenty of room to play and relax. My own dog, Foster, is friendly and well-socialized—he loves making new friends and is great with other dogs. We also share a backyard with respectful neighbors and their dogs, creating a safe and social environment. I'm always happy to answer any questions or provide updates,just reach out anytime!

“Bethany stopped in a couple times to take care of our cat Chip while we were out of town for a long weekend. She was extremely friendly and professional during our meet and greet and very detail oriented with all of the instructions. She sent pictures while visiting with him over the weekend. We would definitely book her again!”
“Kathleen was amazing! Her communication was very fast and detailed. She also watched all 3 of our dogs and had no issues. She was honest and I had no problem or issues trusting her not only with our 3 dogs but also our home. I will definitely be asking her to watch our babies again! If you want someone caring, reliable, and loving to your pets go to Kathleen!”
