“Was able to rebook Sarah only a few hours before I wanted a driop in appointment in the evening and a couple more the following day. Within 10 minutes my offer was accepted and booked. This is the third time using this sitter. We met her last year for a meet an greet with the two dogs. We had total confidence we could be away from home and our fur babies would have excellent care. I was thrilled ahe was available to help this time again ! have had other very good drop in sitters but Sarah's personality and attention to extra detail makes her a premium pick. Hope you get to meet her and have her help you too. You will know you picked the best option. Thsnks for shining brightly Sarah!”

“Sandy was awesome. We loved the daily updates with photos of our kitties. We were able to relax during our time away knowing that our pets were well taken care of. We highly recommend Sandy and we will use her pet services again in the future. Thank you!”

“Misr is very personable. She came for a visit ( which was with my partner)aince it was her first time dropping in to care for the two dogs. We first video chatted and I knew I selected someone with pet experience and a real love and connection towards animals. Both of us felt the sincerity and warmth immediately. The dogs, one of which is not social both liked her spirit. Misty followed instrucions and requests to a t, was prompt and thorough. So glad I chose Misty to allow us to be gone Christmas day and not worry the dogs were in excellent care. Thank you for facilitating a break away from home and lovingly checkimg on our 2 dogs.”

About: I have had at least one dog since I was born as I grew up in an animal loving family. For the past 11+ years I’ve been raising my own pack of three rescue dogs who I’ve trained and raised to be extremely social and friendly. They love making new fur friends. I currently work a regular office job, but am fairly flexible with my schedule and am almost always available on weekends (Friday - Sunday) and evenings. I have a completely fenced in yard and three friendly fur babies of my own that would love nothing more than to befriend and play with your dog(s). I can also do house visits to come to your place and give one on one time with your fur baby and make sure they’re safe and comfortable.
About: I have had at least one pet from the day I was born. I’ve also dog sat for my family many times. I helped train my own and others dogs the basic commands. I am a college student, with a very flexible schedule when I am home for breaks. So, I have plenty of time to play with, watch, and care for your pet(s). I am attentive and active when caring for pets. I can easily follow any care instructions and build a bond with the animal. I make sure to pay attention to how they are responding to me / things to avoid any incidents.
About: I have taken care of pets (primarily dogs) of many different species, size, and attitude! I’ve had two rescue animals (mixed and black lab) and two mini sheepadoodles. I can handle high energy and will take care of your pet like they are my own 😊. Although I have never had a cat of my own, I also have a love for cats (I plan to get one of my own soon)! I am a full time student, but during the summer, I focus on petsitting gigs! I am very flexible with scheduling. I can come in and out as needed to walk/play with them, or I can live-in to take full care of your pet! I am very open to working with your specific needs and requests. I understand the amount of trust people put into pet caretakers, as my family has done before with our dogs. I treat every pet as if they were my own!
“Laura did a great job with our kitties! She even took the time to bring in boxes from our porch. We have an older cat with an unusual no-litter situation which she was very willing to work with. It helped make our vacation less stressful knowing our boys were in good hands!”
“Allison is the best! She is a great communicator - she responds quickly and clearly. She sends lots of pictures and follows directions perfectly. She took such good care of our pups and they loved her! We will definitely use her again! Thank you, Allison!”

“Andrea has been so good to my mini dachshund. My dog is sometimes anxious, stubborn, and can lash out a bit if she is triggered. But Andrea has remained patient and given me frequent updates on her visits. She is great!!”

About: I’ve had dogs since I can remember. I’ve just recently introduced a cat into our dog family and it’s been such a pleasure caring for my babies. I would love to do the same for someone else! I am available at the moment to work any day weekday and weekend, I currently have no restrictions to when I can not do it. I enjoy doing enrichment activities with the animals and playing with them to stimulate their mind. I also like to cuddle with my dogs whenever they want chill time.
“Elizabeth did a great job dropping in on our gaggle of kitties (mama and babies fosters added some chaos!) While we were out of town. I appreciated her being agreeable to a quick meet and greet beforehand since our logistics were a little complex and too much to type out ? She followed instructions well and kindly brought in a couple packages we received. I recommend her for sure!”

“Jessalyn is just the best. She’s consistant, she’s flexible, she’s kind and caring, and she absolutely goes above and beyond every time! I am and will continue to be a repeat customer for sure.”


About: My family has had dogs since before I was born! I’ve been around dogs my entire life, and know how to take care of fur babies of all ages :) Almost four years ago I adopted my first cat. Fast forward to today, I am now a mother of two orange special needs kitties. They are my world 🌎 ❤️🐾 I currently work part time and go to school on Tuesdays and Thursdays. On school days, class starts at 9 and I will have an hour and a half between classes to let a pet out to go to the bathroom, feed them, or give them medication. Then I have another class from 1-3. After that, I will be totally free to assist any pets. I also host trivia a few nights a week. That only last a couple hours in the evenings, so I can definitely get feedings/walks/medication in easily without interruption. I have space to keep a crate for overnight visits and live in an apartment complex with some green space to walk and explore. I am also only a few minutes away from five different parks, so lots of options to check out. I have two cats that are dog friendly, but can be separated if the dog is not cat friendly !
About: I’ve grew up pets my whole life my dad has taught me how to train a dog and a cat even they most of the time do what they want😭I’ve never had a dog of my own but my dad did so I do understand the in and outs from puppies to elderly dogs there all loved and nurtured I’m currently part time in the morning and dedicated to this so I’m always available after 12 to play with the babies and take them out on walks or even just chill💕🥹 I prefer bedding or crate fencing so I can still watch the baby and they have space to move around I keep a set feeding schedule unless there babies and understanding an illness to the depth in order to do my job and take care of your fur baby, I’ll also be investing in a advanced first aid kit for the pups

“Thanks again Kirstey for watching our boys! She let us know about the stool color of one of our dogs, it ended up being nothing serious but appreciate the attentiveness on bringing it to our attention.”

“I have use Katrina every time I go out of town. She is the best with my cats and takes the most adorable pictures leaving me able to relax because I can rest assured that they are in good hands”
