About: I want to commit to personalize care and attention to each pet I care for. I want to take the time to get to know each pet’s unique personality preference and routines so they feel comfortable while you are away. Additionally I offer constant updates (photos, videos and check-ins) so you can stay connected and reassure your pet is in great hands. Im currently not working so I have a lot of time to take care of your pets. I am available to house sit and I can stay longer if needed. I will ensure your pets stick to their routine including feeding times, exercise/bathroom time or any special care instructions. I will ensure to spend quality time with your pets-whether it’s playtime, cuddles or simple companionship.

“Laurie did a great job coming daily and walking Lucy. We got multiple photos and a report card with how she did.”
“Grace did a great job with our senior pup and cat on recent drop in visits and walks. She was responsive, professional, and timely - and most importantly, the animals were really sorry to see her go!!”

“Paige is FANTASTIC! My dogs loved her the minute they met her. She took great care of them and communicates well. I had no worries at all going away and leaving my 2 Danes in her care! She’s definitely added to the top of our pet sitter list!”
“Stephen and Donna did an excellent job walking our Great Pyrenees mix several times over a few weeks. You could feel their love for dogs from the moment we met them and they were very communicative and kind throughout the whole process. Our boy enjoyed and looked forward to his walks with them and we would definitely recommend and use their services in the future.”
About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life, from cats and dogs to birds, fish, and even hermit crabs! I currently have a 5-year-old Labrador who’s full of energy and loves to test my leash skills, so I’m very familiar with handling strong, enthusiastic dogs on walks. I also had a cat for 10 years and know how to meet both affectionate and independent pets where they’re at. Whether it’s senior pets, puppies, or any sized animal with special personalities, I approach each animal with patience, respect, and love. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your pet is in good hands, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, I'm already walking my high energy Lab multiple times a day, so I’m used to staying active and planning around pet needs. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate any time in the mornings, afternoons, or evenings during the week and on weekends. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-ins, or longer stays, I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine to keep them comfortable and cared for. I prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort above all else, whether I’m caring for them in your home or mine. At your home, I follow your instructions carefully, respect your pet’s space, and keep the environment calm and secure. I always double check doors, gates, and leashes to prevent any escapes, which I have personally learned from my own dog. If your pet stays at my home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly space designed to reduce stress and encourage play and relaxation. I’m experienced with animals of all temperaments, from high-energy Labs to shy cats, and tailor my approach to meet each pet’s unique needs. I’m fully committed to building trust with both you and your pet through consistent communication, timely updates, and a compassionate attitude.
“Sydney took the best care of our cat Cooper and I could tell when we got home that he was given lots of attention! She was super thorough with all of her notes about her visits and took lots of great pictures for us to see our little guy while we were gone. Thanks for taking such good care of him!”
“Brian was great with our two dogs. He included photos each time he checked on them and they enjoyed their time playing in the sun with him! He even brought in a couple of packages for us! Would definitely recommend - will book with him again!”
About: I have lived with, trained, brought up and loved dogs all of my 60 years. Currently I live alone and travel quite a bit for work so cannot own a dog myself but am happy to take care of yours when I'm available. I would not be a good regular sitter due to my schedule, but generally, you can count on me to look after your pup or cat while on vacation or whatever. I walk a lot around my apartment complex, which is very welcoming to dogs. I am also home during the day so your pup is not alone. When you board your dog with me, you can expect he or she would get a walk in the morning, around noon and during the evening with some short outside breaks as needed to do his or her business. If I visit your home, I can walk once a day for about 20-30 minutes.

“Maddie is a truly exceptional pet caregiver. From the moment she met my pet, it was clear she had a natural connection with animals. She’s incredibly kind, patient, and observant, always making sure each pet feels safe and loved. Maddie goes the extra mile—whether it's sending updates, sticking to feeding schedules, or just spending extra time playing and cuddling. I completely trust her in my home and with my pets. They’re always excited to see her, (probably more than they are to see me) I highly recommend Maddie to anyone seeking a responsible, attentive, and genuinely passionate individual for animal care.”

Sydney is such a great cat sitter!! She spends quality time with my two kitties and sends me great detailed updates and photos of how they are doing. Highly recommend!!!
Meggan is amazing! She takes such great care of our cat Salty! When we come home Salty is happy and you can tell she was well taken care of. I know when we travel I never have to worry because she does such a great job!!
Phoenix was wonderful! One of my cats managed to get on top of the fridge and steal a white chocolate bar, and Phoenix even stayed a little later to monitor them and make sure they weren't sick. Thank you!
Brian is easy to work with and very professional. Glad we found him. Or little poodle mix doesn’t warm up easily to men but she is jumping when she she’s Jim.
Bri is amazing and came by on very short notice today! We feel very comfortable having her care for our pup and house next month over spring break. ☺️
