Shelley was great with my cats! I liked getting daily updates and pictures and it was nice knowing they were well cared-for while I was out of town. She will always be my first choice for pet sitting when I travel!

My cat unfortunately he’s not always very friendly to other humans. She has diabetes and requires insulin shots every morning. Sinead has been so patient and willing to get to know Tiger. She has definitely gone the extra mile to make the visits successful!!

About: My name is Jacob and I have 15 years of experience caring for mine and my family's pets. I also have approximately 4 years of volunteer experience at shelters caring for cats and dogs. I have experience walking and caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds and energy levels. From tiny pups to large, strong dogs, I'm confident handling them safely and calmly. I've worked with dogs that have behavioral challenges such as leash reactivity, anxiety, fearfulness and high energy. I'm patient, attentive, and always focused on understanding each dog's unique needs. I'm autistic, and I've found that this often allows me to connect especially well with animals. I'm very attentive to body language, routines, and subtle behavior changes, which helps me respond calmly and consistently- particularly with dogs who need a little extra understanding. My goal is to make every walk a positive, stress-free experience. My schedule is pretty flexible to do drop-in care for your pets or walks as needed. I am willing to work with clients so they can get the care they need for their pets. I am willing to do drop-in care at client's homes as needed. I can also take dogs for walks from client's homes as requested by client.

Katy is fantastic! She stopped by midday to let our dog out for a potty break and even brought in our packages, which we really appreciated. Communication was excellent the entire time; she kept us updated and made everything feel easy and stress-free. We’ll definitely be using her again!

Highly recommend Krystina! She was kind, great to communicate with, and was so thoughtful to bring our packages inside when she checked in on our kitty. Our cat sometimes has trouble warming up to new people but we could tell from the pictures that she was happy to be around Krystina and enjoyed all the attention :)

About: Our dog passed away and I miss her very much. Recently relocated to Alaska and loving it! Have extra time on my hands to care for your furry bundle. I’ll take care of her/him/them like my own. Sorry I can’t commit to a reoccurring schedule at this time. Currently between jobs (indefinitely!) so I have plenty of time until then to give your loved ones attention. I love being outdoors so plenty of fresh air is not an issue or playing inside and curling up on sofa with your fluff ball is cool too. No problem if your pet prefers their own space, I am open to all types of personalities. Happy to care for pets in your home according to your normal routine. I am currently renting so care in my home is not an option. Thanks for understanding.

Alex did a wonderful job dropping in to take care of my cat, Delilah, while I was out of the country. Alex left detailed drop-in notes with photos and took great care in following the instructions for feeding that I left. Alex spent time with Delilah during each visit for some much-needed cat playtime. I had complete confidence that Delilah was being well cared for while I was away for the week. Thank you, Alex!

About: I have over 7 years of experience caring for animals and have worked in veterinary settings with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’m comfortable with senior pets, shy or anxious animals, medication administration, and maintaining routines that help pets feel safe and comfortable. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone else, so I focus on providing calm, attentive, and reliable care while keeping owners updated with photos and messages. Whether your pet loves playtime or prefers quiet companionship, I adjust to their individual needs and personality. I’m available for weekday care before and after my job and weekend care. I understand how important consistency and routine are for animals, so I do my best to keep pets comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, triggers, and any medical needs to help them feel secure and cared for. With my veterinary background, I’m comfortable recognizing signs of stress or illness and following detailed care instructions. I maintain a clean, calm environment and always use secure leashing, supervision, and careful introductions to help keep pets safe

Whitney has been an absolute blessing! I highly recommend her to watch your fur babies! She made everything stress free while we were on vacation because of her love & dedication for taking care of our animals. Also the explanations of each visit were so great we loved reading them. Not only did she take care of our animals she took care of our home! Best pet sitting experience we’ve ever had. Thank you so much again! ❤️

Izabelle took great care of my cats, and also did a couple of things around the house that made coming home more pleasant. She let the cats, who can be a bit nervous around new people, take their time getting to know her and made clear progress with them every day. By all measures, they seemed to have a great week!

Jessica was beyond perfect! She watched our two bonded rabbits. Jessica let the bunnies set their own pace and by the end they had warmed up to her. Which is saying a lot for our rabbits. Jessica also was great with communication and keeping us informed. I am already booking her to come again.

Callen was wonderful. She sent lots of photos and gave regular updates on my cats. One of my cats is having some kind of medical issue that is manifesting in difficult behavior change, but Callen handled the unique situation easily. I would certainly book her again.
