Mara was awesome. Was prompt with all her communication, she sent us a ton of pictures, and we came home to happy cats. Will be booking with her again next time we are out of town.

Wendy is very detailed and thoughtful. I have a shy gal and she took the time to sit quietly with her which was great. I left detailed instructions and Wendy made sure to communicate that she did them. Highly recommend her!

Robin is an amazing cat sitter for my grumpy and bratty 9 year old cat. She is very knowledgeable and patient with managing temperamental and anxious animals. Any pet would be lucky to be under her care.

About: I have had a dog my whole life and feel very connected to them. Generally, I prefer big dogs but would love any type of dog. I have experience with dogs with seizures and dogs who need medication, as well as some experience with reactive dogs. Since I love to walk, and dogs love to be walked, I think this is a perfect fit! I'm currently not working (through the end of the summer) so I am available weekdays and evenings for walks or doggy day care, as well as on the weekends for walking or boarding. I have a large fenced yard and a friendly, patient Lab Mix to keep your dog company. I can crate your dog if needed and also have lots of indoor space for lounging or playing.

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.

Karolly was a lifesaver!! She took amazing care of our cat during the holidays and alerted us of an issue that had occurred at our home while we were away - she saved our home from major damage! Beyond that, from her first visit, our cat immediately took to her. She took great care of him and sent us pictures and video from her visit, he looked like he was having a great time! She fed him treats, gave him plenty of belly rubs, and played with his toys with him. We look forward for having her care for our pets again 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.

About: Hi! I'm Abby, a caring animal lover with years of experience with all different kinds of animals! I have personal experience with taking care of animals through having pets of my own, so I know how much a reliable, caring sitter is important to a family! My loving, caring, and patient nature is perfect for any animal who needs care away from their family. I currently own a cat and a bearded dragon so I am used to actively caring for animals and their needs! What I offer: - Daily walks and exercise based on your breeds energy levels - Drop-in visits for feeding, playtime, and potty breaks - Overnight housesitting while caring for your animals - Medication administration (if needed) - Lots of love, attention, and care! Why choose me? - Lots of availability with a flexible schedule - Loads of experience with different types of animals - Strong communication with regular updates, photos and videos! Your pet's wellbeing is my top priority as well as your peace of mind! I hope you choose me to care for your fur-baby! I am currently a full time student with variability in my schedule. It changes from semester from semester, but I always work around my schedule to care for your animals! You can intrust that I take care of your pets however you see fit. I follow instructions very closely and ensure that your pet is well taken care of and seen. I live a very active lifestyle which is perfect for high energy pets. I am also very patient for pets who are more shy and need a little extra attention!

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! 🐾💛

About: I have extensive hands-on experience caring for cats of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs. I grew up in a house fostering cats, which taught me how to support animals as they adjust to new environments, routines, and people. At home, I have six cats of my own, so I’m very comfortable managing multiple pets and understanding different personalities, from shy and independent to playful and affectionate. I also have experience providing medical care. One of my cats is on seizure medication, and I am responsible for administering those medications consistently and safely. Because of this, I am very attentive to routines, medication schedules, and monitoring for any changes in behavior or health. I understand how important it is to follow instructions closely and keep pet parents updated for peace of mind. Overall, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m patient, calm, and reliable, and I truly enjoy providing a safe, loving, and stress-free environment for animals while their owners are away. I’m a nursing student with a strong background in caregiving, responsibility, and attention to detail. I attend classes Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday, with Monday being my longest day on campus. I have Thursdays and weekends fully free, which allows me plenty of time to focus on pet care, playtime, and companionship. I live alone in a quiet apartment, creating a calm and low-stress environment that’s especially great for cats. I also have one friendly cat of my own, so I understand feline routines, boundaries, and the importance of maintaining a clean, safe space. I’m very mindful about introductions and always prioritize comfort and safety. As a nursing student, I’m detail-oriented, reliable, and comfortable following care instructions, including feeding schedules and medications. I treat every pet with patience and kindness, and I truly enjoy providing a loving, peaceful home while pet parents are away. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. I understand that every cat is different, and I take the time to respect each cat’s personality, routine, and boundaries. Whether a cat is social or more independent, I let them adjust at their own pace and never force interaction. I follow care instructions closely, keep a calm and clean environment, and pay attention to any changes in behavior so pets feel safe and comfortable at all times.

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!

While we missed our babies on this first travel experience away from them, we were and are super confident that they are so well cared for. Rockstar status!
