About: I've had a fairly feisty Siamese cat for 5+ years, so I am familiar and comfortable cat sitting, but I also have dog walking experience here and there! I currently work at home, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m happy to work out what times work best for me and will communicate if there’s any scheduling conflicts! Thankfully my cat maintains good health, but has been sick a few times, so I have familiarity with situations like that (such as feeding medicine, brushing, etc.)
“We had a great experience with Julia. She communicated well, was reliable and kind. She was great with our pup and gave her the care we needed. Would hire again in a heartbeat.”
“Maestro and Maggie Mae really enjoyed their time with Samantha. Of course, the first couple of walks they were a bit anxious with a new human, but by the third walk they were both waiting by the front door for her arrival. Samantha is a sweet young woman, who really seems to love her gig as a walker. We heartily recommend her, and most importantly, will reach out again for her services when required. Thanks Samantha”

Prior to taking care of your pets, I will require a meet and greet to meet your babies as well as to get up to date on all of your requirements for your pets.

About: I've been caring for animals since I was 13 and have over 6 years of hands-on experience with dogs, and cats. I've worked n the veterinary field for the past 3 years, which has given me experience recognizing health concerns, following medication instructions, and handling animals safely and confidently. As an aspired veterinarian, I treat every animal with patience, compassion, and the same level of care I'd want for my own pets I’m a student with most of my classes online, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine, whether that’s morning, midday, or evening visits. Because of my flexibility, I’m able to provide consistent care, spend quality time with pets, and adjust my schedule as needed to meet each pet’s specific needs. I provide care exclusively in my client’s home to ensure pets stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any medications or special care needs. I make it a priority to keep the home clean, secure, and exactly as I found it while giving pets plenty of attention, supervision, and care. I’m attentive to each pet’s behavior and needs, making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for at all times. I also provide regular updates, including messages and photos, so owners can feel confident and reassured while they’re away. My goal is to create an stress-free experience for both pets and their owners by being reliable, respectful, and attentive.
About: I have had a love and natural talent for dogs/cats both stray and or domestic since I was a little girl. I have no fear of any breed as I have had several dogs of my own that were of a more “aggressive” and or bigger breed. I am currently working from home so my schedule is very flexible so whether you are looking for someone to stay the night or do drop ins, I’d be a perfect match. I am very active so even when sitting for one pet I can keep them entertained if needed. I have trained dogs outside of my own so I do understand how to gain rapport and respect while also maintaining patience.

I even sing to the lucky dogs and cats! Some sing with me! I am ready any day after I get off work, around 7pm. Perfect for an evening walk with owners who may be in the medical or hospitality field and work nights. Or on my day's off which are Thursday and Sunday. Anytime on those days.

Alex has been a joy to work with!! Maddix is absolutely in love with her and I don't know what I'd do without her! She is reliable, respectful, knowledgeable and a great communicator. She goes above and beyond! She is flexible and willing to work with you. I trust her with Maddix and my home. Everyone needs an Alex in their life! Thanks Alex, for being a life saver and caring so much for Maddix!
Loved Skyler! Super nice and responsible, she took care of my big Goldendoodle and, despite the bad weather, she did great and never missed checking on my dog at my house. On my return, my dog looked happy and got super excited when she stopped by to bring the house keys, which told me he loved her as well… that says it all!!! Will definitely use her again and recommend🫶🏻.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
