“Leah was prompt with her check in and check out times and continually sent us pictures from each visit and an update as to what she did. On her initial visit to meet our 2 cats, one of our cats was a little moody that day and wasn't interested in meeting Leah. But by the second day Leah told us that that particular cat was her new "bestie". The cats were well cared for and everything was done that was noted to be done.”
“Michele is wonderful for daily drop ins. She is communicative, reliable, and showed care for our sweet dog. So lucky to have her taking care of Moose when we can’t be there.”
“Rosy was an absolute amazing sitter. Her notes were so well written and detailed and our cat absolutely was well taken care of and loved with Rosy. I would absolutely be using Rosy again and if you are looking for a someone to take care of your best furry friend, I would trust her 100%.”
“Andrew was the best cat sitter! We’re always a little nervous going out of town leaving our elderly cat at home. Andrew is a great communicator, and we felt our cat was in good hands. We would not hesitate to rebook with Andrew the next time we need a cat sitter.”
“Ella did amazing with the bunnies! was very attentive to them and communicated very well with me during my work trip. The pictures were so great as well, really making me feel like they were left in good hands. 10/10 as a pet sitter and would recommend.”

“the cats are fickle and really prefer that we not take a vacation!! They were very well cared for. Stephen was prompt and regular for the nights served. The cats did indeed enjoy his presence. Thanks again for your services. SCD”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I would care for my neighbors animals when they were out of town. I’ve always loved dogs and have a 7 yr old Labradoodle, Max, that I rescued when he was a four month old puppy. He had escaped from his original owners and been missing for two days. Please found him and he can run over by a car. They couldn’t save his leg so he’s a tripod. He doesn’t even know he’s missing a leg. Max loves walks, water, and playing with his best doodle friend, Molly. I also have a lot of experience administering insulin shots for dogs. I would love to care for your fur babies the way I care for mine. I am semi retired and my time is very flexible. I’m available for daily walks or pet sitting. I’ll care for your fur baby exact same way I care for mine. My dog Max is living his best life with me. He receives lots of love, walks, snuggles, and playtime. I would give your dogs the same care and affection.
“Paige was wonderful! She kept me regularly updated on how my cats were doing and truly cared for their well-being. She was attentive and proactive! She messaged me about closing a window before a hot day, which I really appreciated. She even took the time to clean the dust bin of my vacuum robot! My cats are usually very shy, but Paige was so gentle and patient that she managed to earn their trust.”
About: I have two small dogs of my own. One is 15 years old and the other is 6. I have experience walking larger dogs at various shelters. I also have experience with strong dogs who pull on the leash and frequently stop for breaks on walks. I can carry heavy objects (or dogs) over 50 pounds if needed. I am currently creating stock for my Etsy shop, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I have a lot of availability because of this, so I am open to help out with anything any day of the week. I will treat your pet with the respect they deserve, and will not do anything to them that I would not want done to my dogs.
“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 owned a small dog and a fairly large one (a Rough Collie). I love animals. I want to do dog walking and sitting as my main job. I'm 5'10 and 210 lbs. I'm great with small and medium dogs. I'll take out a large dog who is leash-trained. On rare occasions, I take out extra-large dogs. Pet care will be my main priority. My other work is very flexible. I usually work from home or a cafe. For dog walking, I typically play with dogs. I'm patient, so we can take our time - even if that means sniffing every tree. I usually do dog sitting in the client's home and or yard. Occasionally, I board a small or medium-sized dog in my home. I have a small backyard/patio, which is shown in one of my photos.
About: Hello! My name is Robert. I hope you will consider hiring me to walk your dog because I love dogs very much and understand the importance of taking good care of a dog. Throughout my whole life, I have always had at least one dog – they are such an essential part of who I am. In many years of walking my own dogs nearly every day, I have come to understand how to be gentle with each individual dog and be patient with their needs. Definitely reach out and let me give your dog some exercise so he/she can return home calm and happy! I understand personally the value a dog provides and I would provide your dog with the best level of care. I have time for drop by visits or for walks! Just let me know what you need and we will arrange the best care for your dog. I have experience with puppies, elderly dogs, dogs who need medication, dogs with anxiety, all types of dogs. I provide the best care for what they need.
About: I am and always have been an animal lover. I am 45 years old and have always had a dog that I have been lucky enough to take care of throughout my entire life. I truly believe that animals make humans better people and that we can continually learn so much from them. I currently work part time as a piano teacher, and so pet care offers me flexibility as well as gives me the opportunity to take care of animals-something that is dear to my heart. I offer treats and allow my furry friends the freedom to explore my house as they please. They are more than welcome to hop up on my couch or bed if they like. And, if they have a favorite bed they like to use and bring along, they are more than welcome to do that too. Whatever makes them feel most comfortable.
About: At all times when I am with a dog they will have my undivided attention. I have had dogs my whole life and I work for a dog walking service. I will make sure to keep up with the schedules and special needs for your dog(s). I am a part time college student until May but will spend my free time taking care of your dog(s). I have taken care of a dog that was deaf and it was a hard experience but I have learned how to take care of dogs with special needs like this. I am a quick learner on how to take care of animals. I have learned to gain a dog's trust when they see a stranger is in their house. I can give them baths when it is needed.

I’ve known her for 15 years, and she has cared for my own dogs as well as my family members’ dogs, including those with medical needs. Jenny is gentle, patient, and attentive. She is always making sure our pets are safe, happy, and comfortable. She’s also incredibly responsible, following special instructions and medication schedules with care. I trust her completely with my pets and know she would give the same dedication and love to any animal she works with. Her work ethic is exceptional. Jennifer is punctual, trustworthy, and communicates clearly. I have no doubt she would be a tremendous asset to your team and a beloved caregiver for the pets entrusted to her.

Jason A.Star Sitter
“Jason is great with our pups so we hired him for a week stay…”
Megan D.
“My cats love Megan! She is a spectacular cat sitter. She is SO attentive to them. She's very creative and makes up the funniest games. My cats are a year old, so still kittens. One is friendly and the other one is timid. She tends to hide from strangers, even my Mom. By the second time Megan came to sit for me, my shy cat was out from under the bed to greet her! They both like to be where "Auntie Megan (Midge)" is. The real proof of her cat watching talents is when I get home from a week long trip. In the past my Mom would come over twice a day to feed them and play with the fishing poles. Before using Megan, when I would arrive home, my cats were almost unhinged. They would be all over me and at bedtime try to sleep on my face. It would take a couple of days for them to relax again. Now that I have Megan sleep over, the cats are SO RELAXED & CHILL. It's 180 degree difference. They sleep with Megan...a true test, and cuddle with her. The difference in their contentment is really obvious. More than my cats liking her, I can tell she really enjoys hanging out with them. She does some remote work while there, but my fur babies were her priority. When they walk over her laptop keyboard, she doesn't mind. They are playful adolescents. She even brought them some new mouse toys. Also, she's more into tech than I am. She introduced them to Cat TV and cat iPad games. I liked the daily photos she sent. Megan offers a very high end and loving experience for your cats. I highly recommend.”
Robert S.
“Robert is great with dogs. He truly cares for them and has done so for many years. He gives them specialized attention and personalized care.”
Katie T.
“I have known Katie for over 20 years and have seen her work throughout multiple environments. She is selfless, honest, and trusting of others. She has gobs of energy and natural sense of grit and tenacity. She has always been a huge animal lover!! If she was a dog she’d be a golden retriever!No doubt you will be greeted with a sense of genuine love the moment you met Katie.”
Sasha J.
“I went out of town for Spring Break 2018 for 5 days, Sasha was the most wonderful Dog/Cat sitter ever. It was the most beautiful feeling when I received pictures of them eating and wagging their tails. I could tell that they were so happy. I couldn't of asked for a better petsitter. Feeling grateful!”
