“We really appreciate Matt’s dropping in to care for our 3 kitties while we were out of town. He did a great job and kept us in the loop the whole time we were gone which was much appreciated. We would definitely recommend Matt and use him again!”


“Augusta was great! Her communication before the visit and during was great; friendly and responsive. She was patient with our pup and seemed to really care about giving him some quality time. I will definitely book her again when we need someone!”


“I could tell my cats were taken care of because when I got home from my trip my cats were not screaming at me. They were happy to see me but also very content. Monica scooped the litter boxes and even put the cat dishes in the sink after they finished eating, which I really appreciated!”


“Keerie was very compassionate and professional! She was very attentive and gentle with my senior cats. I am so happy to have her care for them and will absolutely request her services in the future!!!”


“Rebekah was fantastic with my kitty Nyla. She is way more experienced than I am with cats, so it was awesome. She came to check on her 2-3 times per day, played with her, fed her & even turned on Cat TV for her. I got lots of notes each visit & pictures. I will for sure be using her in the future:)”


About: My senior dog passed away recently and I’m looking for pups to care for until I decide on my next fur baby. I am a hiker and constantly in the woods so if your dog likes walks, I’m your gal! I’m skilled in emergency care and can administer medications. I am a medical professional and my schedule is flexible. I’m willing and able to spend the extra time and love your doggos (but I’m not prejudiced to just dog love!) because all creatures deserve kindness and respect. I have experience dispensing medications and caring for animals with anxiety. Please consider asking me to care for your dog/cat, I will treat them as if they were my own. -Sam I am a remote worker and am able to spend ample time with your animal! Walks are typically 30 minutes minimum, unless otherwise requested. I hike daily and I’m always looking for a hiking companion. Your dog will be able to roam freely in my home (unless otherwise requested). If I’m away, I will likely crate your dog unless they are potty trained and have house manners.

About: As a former foster parent for dogs, I’ve cared for pups of all ages, sizes, and personalities—from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs who need extra patience and love. I know how to read their body language, build trust, and provide a calm, comforting space. Whether your dog needs playful enrichment, gentle medication, or just lots of snuggles, I tailor my care to their unique needs. I treat every dog like family because to me, they truly are. I am also willing to help monitor and care for cats, and other small in-home animals, such as hamsters. If you have any of these pets that will need tended to please let me know during your booking. Bonus: I’m experienced with crate training, leash manners, and helping shy or anxious pups feel safe. Your dog will be in loving, capable hands! Please see my attached schedule within the photos for time frames I am available for your baby! If you have any questions about my availability or schedule, don't hesitate to reach out! At my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I create a safe, cozy, and low-stress environment where dogs can relax, play, and feel right at home. I follow their normal routines as closely as possible—feeding times, walks, play, and any special instructions you provide. Because of my experience as a foster parent, I’m very mindful of each dog’s personality and comfort level. Whether they need extra playtime, space to decompress, or just a lot of love, I adjust my care to fit their needs. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to respect their space and routines while keeping communication open. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being always come first—no matter where they are.

“Katarina was amazing! She really cares about the pets she is watching. She was fantastic watching our kitten and senior kitty for an entire week. I loved receiving the photos after each check in and it looked like the kitties were having a blast. She made sure each cat was comfortable and received the care they needed. Thank you for being such a wonderful cat sitter!! It helped ease our nerves while being away for so long!”


“Thank you Mackenzie! She was able to accommodate a same-week booking and was responsive, communicative, and reliable. She sent me pictures and updates about my cats while I was gone, followed all of the instructions, and did a great job! I’d highly recommend and will hopefully be using her services again when I need a cat sitter.”


About: I have been taking care of my own babies for 10+ years! I’ve also stayed for a week at a time taking care of family/friends fur babies I’m currently working part time and from home so I’m always available! From short walks to long stays! Even just popping in for a potty break My fur babies get the royal treatment! I will provide the same for yours! From belly rubs to playing catch. And all the cuddles needed!

About: I've had at least one dog since I was 23, and currently, I have two that I absolutely adore. Lately, I've been searching for pet sitters and thought, "Why not do it myself?" I’d love to help others by providing trustworthy care for their four-legged friends when they can’t be there. For drop-ins I can come 3 times during the day everyday except Tuesday and Wednesday, I can only do 2 on those days. I work in the office two days a week but am home on weekends. On office days, I’m there for 8 hours, but I can come home during lunch to let your dogs out if needed. If your dog gets along with mine, they’ll have free rein of the house. If not, they’ll stay in the kitchen when I can’t supervise them. My yard is secure since I have an escape artist of my own! :) I typically only take one dog at a time (or two if they're from the same family).

“Shelley was great with my dog, adjusting the routine based on his needs/wants and even addressing some skin irritation she discovered during the week which was a stress relief for both my pup and myself! Dependable and trustworthy. Would highly recommend.”


About: Growing up with dogs as a part of the family I have taken care of them my whole life. When I was 15 my family brought home a new puppy and I didn’t have a summer job, so she was my responsibility. Over the years I have taken care of dogs of all ages from energetic puppies to senior pups that need a little more love and understanding. I have administered medications and eye drops with ease and few trick up my sleeves. I enjoy having training sessions with the dogs and even teaching them a new trick while their family is away. This helps give them something to focus on and encourages bonding between us. I would be honored to take care of your furry family member while you’re away. I'm currently working part time and would love to help out your family while I have the time. While in my current status I can do more walks, potty breaks as needed. Potty break is the first and foremost needed when I arrive at a client's home. Then a walk, a little time for some training and a little bit of play as well. It's just as important they have some mental stimulation.

“Morgan is a wonderful care giver. She kept me informed at all times with messages and pictures. She definitely has my Diesels approval🙂 Book with Morgan. I promise you won’t be disappointed!”


About: As a pet parent I have over ten years of experience loving for my own pets. As a pet professional, I have been training dogs for over two years and have self trained my service animal, June. I truly love working with dogs and building relationships with them as well as helping to strengthen the relationships between pets and pet parents. I look forward to discussing your needs and how I can help! I work daily from 8-430 so I am available most evenings after that time with the exception of Mondays as I teach classes that night. I am very negotiable with scheduling and will do my best to work with your schedule. I am a firm believer in using every dog’s weakness to build a relationship: food! I will make sure to ask about your pet’s diet and allergies before giving any treats but I will make sure their interactions with me are loaded with fun, positivity, and treats. I also believe that while I am working with your pet I am only working with your pet. We will not approach strangers or strange dogs while on walks and I will politely decline strangers who want to pet your dog. As far as treatment of your home, I believe in leaving as little trace of my presence as possible. You are allowing me into your space and entrusting me with the care of your pet, so it is my goal to give you the safest, gentlest, and easiest care possible.
