Great to know our cats were well taken care of. Cabbage enjoyed the company and playtime. Our Milo was quite bashful and didn’t appear much. Shenice kept us well updated on her visits.

Kaitlyn offered tremendous service on short notice. Not only did she ensure our cat was well cared for during a home visit, but she also went above and beyond in sharing pictures of our pet, her food and litter areas, etc. Highly recommended!

Luella took such great care of my pup! My dog tends to be nervous around new people so Luella and I did a meet and greet before I left for the weekend. My dog seemed to take things well and I couldn’t be happier! Luella sent photos each visit assuring my girl was okay while we were away.

About: I love dogs, the larger the better! I have watched dogs for more than 7 years now. I have looked after dogs from Miniature Poodles to Coonhounds. I have taken care of new born puppies all the way up to senior dogs that are blind. I have taken care of a chow that was super strong and most people couldn't walk her, but I could. I have even helped while my dog gave birth to her puppies. I currently own a Hungarian Vizsla and a Treeing Walker Coonhound they have a ton of energy and needs a lot of attention. I would love to help with your furbaby! I am currently working for Amazon. So I do work Monday-Thursday from 9:30am-8pm. I am delivering way out of town so I won’t be able to be to take out your pup for walks or potty breaks during that time. I will give your pet the attention they deserve and not ignore them. I love playing games with dogs and taking them on long walks.

About: I provide reliable, attentive, and loving care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. What sets me apart is my commitment to treating every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I’ve been caring for dogs for over 8 years and have experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, and temperaments, including energetic puppies that need structure and patience, as well as senior dogs that require a gentler pace and extra attention. I recently moved to the area and am excited to get back into pet care and build relationships with local pet owners. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering oral medications when needed, maintaining feeding schedules, and providing regular exercise and enrichment tailored to each dog’s needs. Communication is one of my top priorities, and I provide frequent updates, photos, and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I’ll make sure they receive personalized care, plenty of affection, and the attention they deserve throughout their stay. work a hybrid schedule, which gives me flexibility to provide pet care during lunch breaks, after work, and on weekends. This allows me to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, playtime, and overnight care while ensuring pets receive consistent attention and companionship. I’m happy to work with pet parents to find a schedule that best fits their needs.

Maisie was a great pet sitter! We’ll definitely request her again when we need someone! She checked in on our dog, and was on time, and did everything we asked her to do. We loved seeing all of the pictures she sent with each visit! Before the visit, she was very communicative and appreciative of the notes we gave her. Definitely recommend!

Breanna always does a wonderful job taking care of my dog. This time I just needed her to drop-in a couple of times during the day. I appreciate that she spends some time with Nola when she is here and sends pictures and updates. She always provides excellent care, whether it is overnights or drop-ins.

About: Pet Care Experience: I’ve cared for pets of all kinds—from energetic puppies to gentle seniors—and I pride myself on giving each animal the same love and attention they’d get from their family. I’m experienced with administering medications, following special diets, and providing calm, reassuring care for anxious pets. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, or quiet companionship, I adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs. What Sets Me Apart: I focus on building trust through consistency, patience, and clear communication. I take time to learn each pet’s routine and preferences, making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. My background in handling multiple pets at once and caring for animals with special needs means you can relax knowing your pets are in capable hands. Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine. I plan my days around feeding times, walks, and check-ins to make sure each pet gets the attention and consistency they need. I’m flexible with scheduling and can accommodate afternoon, or evening visits depending on your pet’s routine. Whether it’s daily drop-ins, overnight care, or weekend stays, I make sure your pet’s comfort and routine always come first. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect I’d want for my own. I follow all care instructions closely, keep things tidy, and provide updates so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether it’s sticking to training routines, administering medication, or giving extra cuddles, I adapt to each pet’s personality and comfort level.

About: While I grew up with many cats, I also had the opportunity to have the most lovable, goofy, and needy yellow lab for a few years. While he lived in my house, I helped feed him, take him outside/on walks, and give him his medicine too. I've gotten used to dealing with particular pets, including tricking them into taking medicine they might not want to, and getting them bundled up to go outside in the winter. I'm currently a long-term substitute teacher, so my mornings and afternoons are busy, but I'm free in the evenings and on the weekends. During the summer, I have some days/weeks where I'll be out of town, but generally am free throughout the day. I always try to go slow when meeting someone's pet for the first time, allowing them to take the time they need to feel comfortable around me. I always make sure to sit down and make myself smaller so I don't scare them, and I give them plenty of time to sniff me and my things since I do have a cat at home they would smell on me.

About: I had a dog of my own for 10 years before moving away for college, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with a beloved pet. I've cared for dogs of different sizes and personalities, and I know how to keep them safe, comfortable, and happy during walks and visits. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. I will treat your dog like family, provide plenty of love and attention, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident while you're away. I am patient with shy or anxious pets and always let them approach me at their own pace so they feel safe and comfortable. While I am currently searching for a full-time job, I wanted to spend my time doing something meaningful that I genuinely enjoy. Caring for pets is a perfect fit because I've always had a love for animals, especially dogs. Being able to help pet owners while spending time with wonderful pets truly feels like a win-win situation. In a client's home, my main priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, so I do my best to follow the owner's instructions closely. I am comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, large dogs, and shy or anxious pets. I always let pets approach me at their own pace so they can feel comfortable and build trust. I make sure pets have fresh water, are fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise and attention, and receive any medications or special care as instructed by their owner. I also believe communication is important, so I will send regular photo and video updates so owners can see how their pets are doing while they're away. My goal is to make your pet feel happy, cared for, and as comfortable as possible until you return home.

She did an amazing job watching our cat! She communicated well, was professional, and sent lots of pictures! She went above and beyond by cleaning up the bathroom/litter area when our cat got upset and made a mess. We were really nervous about leaving him alone for an extended period of time for the first time, but she did a great job and we were able to enjoy our vacation because of it!

Allison was awesome! This was my first time ever using a sitter, so I was a little bit skeptical at first. But we had a few meet and greets before I hired her, and she was amazing with my cat! She sent me videos and photos and texts when she would come by and feed the cat, and that helped put my mind at ease. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone, and I would love to hire her again in the future!
