“We were away for a little over 2 weeks and Marissa helped check in with our cat. Not only did she play and help with our cat, she helped us bring in our mail. She’s amazing and will always love for her to help in the future!”

“If I could give more stars than 5 I would. Sam is the only sitter that my cat trusted enough to come out of hiding. I have a cat with a traumatic history and normally he does not budge from the farthest depths under the bed. I finally can stop worrying about my gentle giant while I am away.”

“Lauren was absolutely amazing watching my dogs for three days! From the moment we connected, she was professional, warm, and incredibly attentive. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dogs were happy, well cared for, and clearly loved on the entire time. She followed all instructions perfectly and treated them like her own. When I returned, everything was clean, organized, and my pups were calm and content — which says everything. It’s not easy trusting someone with your fur babies, but Lauren exceeded every expectation. I would 100% book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate care. Thank you, Lauren! 🐾💛”

“Justice is fantastic and took great care of my dog! I really appreciated the updates and her attention to detail. It made the whole experience stress-free and I would highly recommend her!”

“I can't say enough great things about Jacqui! They went above and beyond while checking on my dog, and it gave me such peace of mind knowing my pup was in such good hands. Not only did they make sure all the basics were covered—food, water, bathroom breaks, but they also took the time to give my dog some love, playtime, and attention, which made all the difference. I got regular updates (including some adorable photos!), and I could tell my dog was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. It’s clear that Jacqui truly loves animals and treats them like their own. Reliable, kind, and completely trustworthy. I'd recommend Jacqui to anyone looking for someone to care for their furry family members. Thank you so much for everything!”

“Sofia is so kind and sweet to our kitties. I feel better leaving them in her care. She takes lots of pictures of her visit and does absolutely everything that we all of her. She even takes the time to play with them a bit”

About: I grew up with dogs my entire life, including a German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, and Pitbull mix, so I’m very comfortable with both large and high-energy breeds. I also have experiences with extended stay puppy sitting where I managed feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and creating a calm, structured environment. I understand how important consistency, patience, and attentiveness are, especially with puppies. I’m currently preparing to welcome a Golden Retriever puppy of my own, so I’m very intentional about creating safe, positive experiences for dogs. I work Monday through Friday but my partner is currently home all day, so someone will always be there to care for your dog! We are open to boarding any night. Walks I am primarily available after work or sometimes the morning before. My partner is currently available most anytime! We are both reliable and detail oriented. We are prepping to bring in our very own golden retriever puppy, so will treat your dog as if they are our own! As mentioned above I work Mon-Friday roughy 8-4. My partner is currently home throughout the day so someone will always be there to care for your dog. We are open to boarding almost any day especially weekends where we are both home. Walks and drop ins work best for me before work hours or after but my partner has open availability so between us we can accommodate to you! Feel free to ask if you have any specific availability questions! :) Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I live in a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment and am very attentive to routines, feeding schedules, and safety during walks and care. I always keep dogs securely leashed on walks, avoid unsafe situations, and closely monitor their behavior and well-being. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your dog, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m reliable, respectful of your home, and committed to providing a safe and positive experience. I’m also happy to send regular photo and video updates so you always feel confident and connected while your dog is in my care.

“Emma is an excellent pet sitter. My dog has adored her since he met her. She's very kind, answers messages promptly, and is responsible. We'll continue with her; highly recommended.”

“Wendy was great with with drop-in visits for my little cat Mika! I received updates every day and tons of pictures. The apartment was kept clean and Mika seemed very happy when I got home. I feel like Wendy took care of her as well as I could hope! I recommend her and thank you wendy!”

“Mara is awesome! She takes great care of Skeletor and he loves hanging out with her. She have been clutch for us both in advance and at the last minute and we feel very secure leaving our little guy with her. Thank you Mara!”

“She was super sweet and took great care of my cat while I was on vacation for a week. She sent the cutest pictures everyday and even when back another time when my travel plans go delayed!”

About: I love animals and am passionate about giving them good, healthy lives. I have experience and am trained to work with animals, temper aggressive breeds, and administer medication if needed. I am active and have no problem with long or frequent walks. I work from home, so no animal will ever be left unattended in my care. I don't mind pets on the furniture and I have a wide open living room space for play time. Everything is per your instruction, just let me know any accommodations I can make and Ill have them arranged for your pup! Pet care is a daily part of my routine. I am with an animal every day and I love exercising with them and just generally spending time! I can easily crate a dog if needed, and have a large open living room for play time. I also dont mind pets on the furniture while boarding, but it is all up to the parents instruction

About: I have been watching my friends’, family’s, and neighbors’ pets for 5+ years now. I offer a “Wow” factor of service that goes beyond the traditional water, food, bathroom routine. When I care for any pet, I take the extra care and time to play and cuddle so your fuzzy friend is never lonely. I make sure to bring my Polaroid camera to take pictures of your pet while you’re away so you never miss a moment and can display your cutie anywhere in the home - completely complimentary! I also have extensive experience with administering medicines like liquids, pills and subcutaneous fluids to differently abled pets. My own cat has needed each of those in the past so I have grown comfortable doing so and take extra care in the practice. My service is exemplary; neighbors who no longer live close to me still call me up to take care of their pets. I can’t wait to take care of yours! I am a primary grades teacher on summer break. This means I have lots of unused patience I typically spend on my little ones to use on taking care of your beloved pets and household, as well as lots of time on my hands to attend to your needs! I care for any pet like they are my pet. As a pet owner myself, it is so hard being away and worrying how they’re doing. When I leave them in others’ care, I would hope they care for my pet like they are their own. I take this philosophy into the homes and lives of others. With extensive practice in child care, pet care and medicine management, and house sitting, I will come to your aid with a lens of empathy and compassion.

Maria is very experienced with many types of dogs. She took very good care of my anxious pup and I will definitely contact her for her services again! I would recommend her to anyone that I know who is in need of a dog sitter or walker. My dog had a great time with her!

Megan was so friendly and easy to work with!! She took fabulous pictures of my cats while caring for them, and provided excellent care. One of my cats really doesn’t like anyone, but seemed to look forward to Megan’s visits :) the peace of mind she was able to give while I was on vacation was priceless. Will definitely book with her again!!

Yulissa took care of my cat, Floyd, for a day (2 visits). She followed the instructions I provided her for his food and medicine. She sent photo updates along with a message for each visit. I had also gotten a package earlier than expected and she kindly brought it inside my house. She did communicate when she was going to be running a little late, which I appreciated.

Wendy is the best! She takes such great care of our cats and does an excellent job of communicating. This stay, our chewy order was delayed and left the cats with a gap in food. She did a great job about being proactive letting us know that the food was low and worked with me to find an alternative. I never worry about my cats when Wendy watches them and it allows me to truly relax and enjoy my time away!
