3. Ann K.
“Ann has done a fantastic job (as always!) watching my cat, Maisie, while I was out of the country. She is very responsive and attentive to Maisie’s needs when she drops by, knowing when to play and when to just give her snuggles. She always leaves very detailed report cards, and I trust her to follow any special instructions I leave. I absolutely recommend Ann and will continue to use her services in the future!”

“Carolyn has most definitely been the best cat sitter we have had!!! She took wonderful care of them and always gave us such detailed communication. She made us feel at ease knowing they were taken such good care of. Her daily notes were so detailed and wonderful. She will be the only cat sitter we use ! We can’t recommend her enough!”

“Haley was amazing! Our cat Charlie was immediately friendly to her and loved her visits. Haley sent so many photos and videos from their hangouts and Charlie seemed to have such a good time! Haley was very responsive and replied right away, highly recommend for your next pet sitter! She even watered our plants!”
6. Melody R.
“Melody was wonderful. She did a great job getting my cat acclimated to a sitter and brought her out of her shell. She provided lots of pictures and updates and monitored her eating/litter box habits. Highly recommend.”
7. Jacquelyn D.
“Jacquelyn is so awesome! We have used her for drop in visits on our two pups while we are gone. This is the second time we have used her and she has been nothing but sweet and professional. She worked with us on doing a meet & greet both times before we booked and our pups absolutely love her. She keeps me updated on them & takes the BEST pictures of them. I definitely recommend her to take care of your fur babies as well.”
8. Jessica & Gabe H.

“Hope was patient with my dogs allowing them to warm up to her. She did great taking care of them and sent pictures. Hope informed me of my dogs’ behaviors and well-being.”
16. Cayley T.
“I cannot recommend Kai highly enough! She has been such a blessing for our family, taking exceptional care of our dog, Libby & our cat, Heidi, while we were away. It is very clear how much they genuinely love animals and treat them like their own. Libby is usually anxious when we leave, but she had an immediate connection with Kai and that put our minds at ease. Daily updates reassured us that Libby & Heidi were in great hands, enjoying long walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. Their professionalism, reliability, and warmth made the entire process smooth and worry-free. It’s so comforting to know that when we travel, we don’t have to stress about our pets well-being. We already have her booked again for an upcoming trip! If you’re looking for a trustworthy, kind, and attentive pet sitter, look no further than Kai. She’s the best!!”

“Ashlynn gave me a great peace of mind while we were away and took great care of my cats!”
18. Zack M.
“Growing up Zack regularly took care of our 4 cats, cleaning their litter, feeding them as needed, and giving them lots of affection. He has also helped take care of and walk our family dog as needed, as well as take care of his fish and reptiles. He loves playing with our dog and they have a great relationship. He loves animals and is very responsible. You can count on him to do any job as well as possible and take great care of your pets and house.”

About: From the age of 12, I've been taking care of pets. My passion for providing pets with the utmost care and attention has grown over the years. Through my experience, I have not only developed a strong sense of compassion for all animals, but I have also developed the ability to handle any situation. I have a trio of furry friends, but what sets them apart is that I've taken it upon myself to raise, train, and deliver two of them. The third one was a gift, but they've all become an integral part of my life. Rest assured that your beloved pet will be treated with the same love and care that I give to my furry friends. You can trust me to provide your pet with the attention and affection they deserve. As an independent worker, I have the flexibility to be there for you and your furry friends whenever you need me. Count on me to provide reliable and attentive care for your pets. At the moment, I don't provide in-home pet services. However, I'm committed to adhering to all safety guidelines to guarantee your furry friend's well-being and an enjoyable experience.

About: Hey! ❤Info on myself: I grew up on a farm owning all sorts of animals including cows, horses, chickens, dogs and even owning exotics such as cockatiels, hedgehogs, hamsters, snakes, geckos, rabbits, and pretty much anything you can think of. I had a few jobs as a horse caretaker and dog sat for as long as I can remember. 🧡My own doggo🐕: I currently own an energetic aussie that I take on hikes and to the dog parks, he can come with me to keep your furry friend company or can stay home. He's quite a handful and I love him. I've given him his shots and have experience taking care of all sorts of dogs from fostering dogs a few years back. 💛My work schedule: I work at Chic-fil-a Monday through Friday 6-2 so I have time to take care of your pup from the evenings on and weekends. My work schedule does change sometimes and if I have enough notice I can ask off for certain days if your pup needs extra care. 💚I've taken care of dogs in rvs and in dog owners homes. I love animals and have had animals all of my life. I would love to take care of your furry friend. Thank you for your consideration :) FYI I don't not drink or smoke and I will be respectful of your home 😊 I have a flexible schedule and can take care of your furry friend. Just text me and we can work something out for a schedule. I would love to check up on your loved companion a few times a day or can stay in your home if needed. I'm super active so I could take dogs to the dog park or on hikes. I currently work at Chic-fil-a full time either 6-2 or 8-4 but I have time for your furry friend when I'm off! This is my side job I do for fun because I love animals! I would love to keep your dog company for most of the day, if not all of the day. I have experience with training, as I have trained my own and I love teaching new tricks to dogs.
