“Marisa and her daughter checked on our cats while we were away. They gave them lots of love and attention. And kept us in the loop with how they were doing. We would happily book with them again soon. Highly recommend Marisa.”
“This is the third time I’ve had Judith care for my cats while I was away and she is prompt, caring and plays with my cats who have challenges with health issues. I’m very grateful to her thoroughness and regular updates which allows me to relax while I’m away. I highly recommend her.”
“It's been so hot so I can't take my dog with me everywhere I go. Kat kindly accepted my last minute request for a drop-in visit to give my dog a pee break. My shy dog took to Kat right away. Thank you for your help!”
“Melissa and Ryan are great! They did exactly what I asked and Gambit looked happy. This is our second time working with them and it won’t be our last!”
“Candace is amazing!!! My puppy was a bit of a handful for her while I was away ,but Candace was so professional and updated me on everything! She bonded with both my dogs immediately on the meet and greet. I highly recommend her! I'm definitely going to use her in the future 💛”
About: Hi! I’m a certified vet assistant, and I’d love to help you care for your dog! I have my own rescue dog who I’ve owned and worked with for 7 years, and I’ve had dogs my entire life. Let me know if I can help :) I work a full time job, usually 7-3. I’m available evenings and weekends, which isn’t ideal for everyone’s schedule - but if you work evenings or on weekends maybe I’ll be a good fit :) I take safety very seriously. Because of this, I don’t offer services in my home, because I have a reactive dog and small pets. But it’s my top priority to keep your pet safe and comfortable when I’m with him/her!
“Anna was great with communication and helped to reassure that Smokey Preston was well taken care of during her drop-in visits. I greatly appreciated all the photo updates she sent and definitely would request having her help again in the future!”
About: I've been given the wonderful opportunity of having pets my whole life; from cats and dogs, to iguanas and geckos. From a young age I was taught how to care for, train, and learn from the amazing pets we had throughout my childhood. I brought those skills into my adult life, where I've been lucky enough to have some of the best animal companions whom I couldn't live without. As a sitter, I will love and care for your pets as if they were my own! Currently I am available all day most days, though my schedule will change in the summer as that's when my regular job picks back up. I have a house with a fully fenced yard for your pets to run around along with my dog Koda! I would prefer that your pets be crate trained in case of me leaving the house, since I do have two cats; though exceptions could be made after proper meetings to determine their temperament towards each other.
About: Several years of experience caring for peoples pets in their home! I am an animal lover who enjoys spending time with all types of animals. Honest, dependable and respectful of your space. I have open availability so I am able to tailor my services to fit your pets schedule. I am happy to do drop in visits or stay in your home. I will not be offering services in my home at this time. I do not have a good enough set up unfortunately at this time.
About: We are a loving, caring, responsible and reliable family who would love the opportunity to help you with tour fur babies. Being away from them is hard to do, and we know that it is hard and stressful for them as well. So we would like to ease some of that worry and anxiety for you and leave you feeling comfortable with them in our care. I hope we can talk further and to get the chance to help you with your babies and your needs. We love taking the dogs on walks, hikes, dog parks and more. My children also have a love for animals and are excited for this opportunity as well. Can’t wait to hear from you and help. God bless ❤️
About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals, and caring for them has been a natural part of my life. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages—from playful puppies to sweet senior pets who need a little extra TLC. I’m patient, attentive, and make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable in my care. What sets me apart is the personal connection I build with each pet. I take the time to understand their unique personality, routines, and needs. Whether it’s giving medication, calming an anxious pet, or just being there for cuddles and playtime, I treat every animal like they’re family. I have a flexible schedule, which means I can easily adapt to your pet’s needs—whether it’s daily walks or drop-in visits. My availability allows me to give each pet the attention, care, and love they deserve without feeling rushed. I’m here to make things easier and more comfortable for both you and your pet! When I do walks or drop-ins, my main goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own familiar space. I stick closely to your instructions—whether it’s feeding, playtime, medication, or just giving them some love and attention. I’m always respectful of your home and make sure everything is clean and secure when I leave. You can count on me to treat your pet like family and to show up with a smile, ready to give them the care and comfort they deserve.
About: I’ve owned dogs and other pets my whole life, but since opening my own business and having my son I just don’t have time to own a pet full time. So I figured this would be a good way to get to love on other peoples pups when it works for my schedule. I am self employed so my schedule can be semi flexible. I don’t work on the weekends, but I could also potentially bring a dog to my business as well on days that I work, depending on the dog of course. I have a fenced yard, a big field/park right across the street, a dog park a mile away, and a doggy door that could fit a dog up to about 50 lbs. I also own a small salon with accident safe flooring and a space right outside the door for potty breaks if I ever needed to bring a dog to work with me.
