“Cheyenne was awesome! She came by every day we were away consistently and I felt our cats were so well cared for. They were happy and calm when we got back and she gave us great updates daily.”

“In a single phrase, Cheyenne was "PERFECTLY AWESOME"!!! She was not only prompt, but also caring and attentive to my dog's needs. And, Cheyenne was especially affectionate toward Lilly, which Lilly certainly enjoyed. Too bad there was only five stars to be given! I will DEFINITELY want to book Cheyenne in the future!”

“Turin did an amazing job with our cat Noah! For the first time we left him for 10 days and felt a bit uneasy about it, but Turin took great care of him. She sent pictures daily so we always felt comfortable and Noah seems to have taken a quick liking as he was even photographed on her lap! Thanks so much Turin! Highly recommended and whenever we go away again I will be sure to call you.”

“Tammie was an absolute lifesaver while I was on vacation! She came three times a day to care for my cat, including administering oral medication, which can be a challenge—but she handled it with total professionalism and care. She was always on time, incredibly communicative, and sent regular updates that really helped me relax while I was away. When our flight was unexpectedly delayed, she didn’t hesitate to make additional last-minute visits to make sure my cat was safe and comfortable. Her flexibility and dedication truly went above and beyond. It’s such a relief to know my pet is in such capable and compassionate hands. I will 100% be booking with Tammie again and can’t recommend her highly enough!”

“Alissa was fantastic with my two dogs. One of my dogs requires insulin and she was able to administer it without a problem. Felt very confident that they were in good hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again.”

“I recently had Jill watch my puppy, Fritz, and I couldn't be happier with the care she provided. Jill ensured Fritz always had food and let him out for bathroom breaks. She was very accommodating to our needs and maintained a high level of professionalism throughout. I highly recommend Jill to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”

About: My dogs have been with me for 5 years now, I’ve gone through the puppy stage with them so I understand how to care for dogs under certain circumstances. I also volunteer at the animal shelter! I’m also trained in giving dogs insulin shots! I’m usually available for dog walking and check ins every weekday in the afternoon and all day on weekends! I’m currently a senior in high school, I am free usually anytime after 2:30 on weekdays and I’m usually free all day during the weekend. Thank you! My home has a fenced yard that my dogs have easy access to through a doggy door, if your dog isn’t comfortable with using a doggy door, I can always bring him/her out through the door. Both of my dogs are very friendly, but if they don’t get along I can always crate them or put a gate separating them.
About: Experienced pet sitter and animal lover. I've worked in animal rescue, done trap-neuter-release, cared for a colony of feral cats for a decade, and fostered more kittens and adult cats than I can count. I offer visits, walks, overnight stays, or I can live at your house while you are away. I am a nature and wildlife photographer so I have gotten to know, to one degree or the other, all of the animals around my home, which, I believe, helps to make me comfortable with all types of pets. I also offer pet portraits! I have experience with all of the usual pets, plus a few unusual ones too. I will take good care of your dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, reptiles, small animals and even tarantulas or insects. I will treat your pets as if they were my own and I will let you know how the visits are going. Your pets will be safe and well cared for with me. I have a regular part time job with a flexible schedule so can be available just about anytime. Let me know what you need and we can work it out. Home visits run about a 1/2 an hour and include, depending upon your pet, a walk, poop scoop, litter box cleaning, feeding, watering and treat dispensing, and pats and cuddles.
About: I have cared for my own dogs in my family for the past ten years and have sat animals in my extended family. It is important to leave your furry family members in the trusted care of your sitter or walker which is why I treat your pets like my own. I currently work from home two days a week and am available on weekends. My weeks are flexible and can do early morning or evening drop ins. In my own home we make sure our furry friends are comfortable- we walk on leashes and when in a fenced in yard will always keep an eye on them!
“Allison was so great with my very shy kitty! My Sophie warmed right up to her. Allison is a cat whisperer and will be my go-to for my cat and my dog in the future. She is also super sweet and communicates well. Thank you for taking care of my girl!”

About: I've had multiple dogs in my home since I was born, and I am very passionate about taking care of them. I feed them, bathe them, walk them, and play with them. I'm a college student on summer break so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I have a chihuahua and two golden retrievers at home. I can care for your pets in any safe environment for them, whether that is on a leash or within a fenced area. I love playing with all types of dogs once they feel comfortable around me.
About: I’ve grown up with pets, both dogs and cats, my entire life. I house sit for family members with pets and take it upon myself to love and care for them like they are my own. I love to take them on adventures in the car, to walking trails or lakes to engage with them! I currently work a full time job Monday through Friday in office with one day to work from home. I can provide evening and night care, as well as weekends! I can be flexible as well to stop in at nights or early mornings for your pet needs. I am willing and able to house sit and adjust myself for your pet’s schedule and comfort. I have one dog and one cat in my home who are cared for around the clock. I love taking my dog for visits to different state parks or hiking trails!
About: I am a lover of all animals and have had a large percentage of them as pets currently and in my past. From the usual dogs and cats to chickens, lizards, parrots and everything in between. Right now I have three rescue dogs (Brussels griffons), rescue parrots (African grey and Senegal), eight chickens and a couple of tanks of fish. I would love to bring my experience to your home to make sure your pets get the attention they need during the day when their parents are at work. I look forward to bringing the same love and patience that I have showered my own pets, past and present, to yours! I’m currently open from 9-3 during the week Weekends I could be available for in house boarding for small dogs and other animals as needed. I have a large yard that contains a fully fenced in portion with three friendly and playful Brussels griffons. Otherwise I can pop in to your house and spend however much time you need to break up your workday for your pets.
“This woman is wonderful. Very thorough with all communication while she works with your pet. Trust her immensely with my pets, my property etc. She gets everything done, and goes over and above.”
“What a wonderful experience! Matthew took great care of our pups, updated us with photos and video, was super responsive and was grateful we had such a wonderful experience! Will definitely work with him again ! My dogs would insist !”
About: Frankly I don’t handle large dogs well, primarily looking to be a cat-sitter. However, if you need small dog help, I am more than happy to help! Pets are a priority! They need to be cared for, & attention for your animals is especially important while the owners are away. Happy to fill that gap! I can meet any requests needed! I am very cleanly, & will always be happy to cleanup after the animals if any accidents happen. I believe in leaving things better than you found it!
