Seth was absolutely amazing! The constant communication and the daily pictures and videos he sent make you very comfortable. When I came home everything was clean for my cat and left the place just like how we left it. I would definitely recommend Seth as I will be booking him more for the future

About: As someone who grew up in a "dog home" I'm very comfortable with a wide variety of dogs both big (Fred, German Shepard) and small (Abby, Cocker Spaniel). Over the last 4 years I've been personally training and raising my well-behaved resident couch-potato, Leo. I bring that same enthusiasm and kindness to every cat I meet as well (I've even fostered a few kittens!). I’m detail-oriented, timely, and mindful of existing routines such as walks, meals, medications, or any additional special instructions. I regularly send photos as updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I'm currently working from home part-time, so I'll have lot's of availability during the day. I can also do late-night pet checks! I'm detailed oriented when it comes to your pet(s) and their unique needs. I can accommodate to make sure each pet is shown the attention and care they need. I have a fenced in yard and a resident couch-potato. Meet-and-greets required for any overnight guests.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy caring for them. I love going on walks, playing with dogs, and making sure pets feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. I’m responsible, caring, and patient, and I’ll always treat your pet as if they were my own. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or calm and shy, I’ll make sure they get the care, attention, and affection they need. I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week. I’m available most days and times, which allows me to provide reliable and consistent care for your pets. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is for animals to feel safe and cared for when their owners are away. I’m patient, attentive, and always make sure each pet gets personalized care based on their personality and needs.

About: I’ve taken care of pets ever since I was 10. I have two dogs of my own and have fostered a few over the years. I’ve pet-sat numerous times for animals with special feeding instructions, senior pets, puppies, large dogs, and cats. I’m currently a college student who is home for the summer and working part time. My schedule is pretty flexible and can have some variation weekly. I will have plenty of time during weekdays and weekends to care for different pets. I am comfortable walking any size dog and even two dogs at once as i have two large dogs of my own. I can crate your dog if needed and follow special instructions for feeding as well.

About: I have always grown up around dogs and genuinely love being around them. I especially enjoy taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and making sure they get plenty of attention and care. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me for pet sitting and dog walking over the years, and I am very comfortable feeding, supervising, and caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, active, and comfortable while their owners are away. I am currently home for the summer and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to be available for multiple walks, drop-in visits, and pet care throughout the day. I am happy to work with different schedules and routines, so feel free to reach out and see if we can find something that works well for both of us! I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in either my home or a client’s home. I follow their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, and giving them attention and companionship. I also make sure pets have a clean environment, plenty of water, and supervision while owners are away.

Jessica is amazing! I am very anxious when it comes to my two kitties and she took care of them wonderfully! Jessica followed all my directions, and informed me on their food intake and daily behavior changes. Seeing how my cats played and warmed up to her really put me at ease for my one week trip. I will only trust Jessica from here on out! 10/10 stars.

Winnie was AMAZING with our dog and cat. She gave them tons of attention and made sure they were mentally stimulated. She also sent us thorough updates after each drop-in, which relieved a lot of our anxieties. I would definitely rehire her, and I highly recommend her if you want someone who takes care of your pets like they’re her own.

Beth L. was able to step in quickly when our sitter cancelled and do drop in visits for our dog while we were away for multiple days. She cheerfully got Nelly up and fed in the morning and put her in her crate at night after ensuring she got some outdoor and play time and water. She was communicative and responsive the whole time and Nelly did well. We really appreciated her help!
