“Macy was fantastic with both Apollo and Leeloo. She was very communicative and I loved receiving photos and little comments about their day. They both seemed very happy while I was gone and when I got home. I couldn’t have asked for anything more.”


“Emma is the best! She watched our cat for a week during the holidays. She gave great updates with tons of cute photos. She really took the time to get to know our shy cat and even gave us plant updates.”


“Sierra is amazing! She was so easy to communicate with, made sure our pup was well loved and well taken care of. She even took some incredible photos of him! We absolutely recommend her ❤️”


“Having Alli look after our cat while we were away was a great peace of mind! She was quick to respond. She took great care of our cat that usually hides when we were away, but Alli was able to get her to come out, eat and enjoy her company.”


About: I have had dogs of my own since 1999. I have dog sat for family members in my home and in theirs. I completed dog behavior training while volunteering for a local pet rescue. I have a fairly open schedule at this time. While I will be doing pet care part time, most engagements should work with my schedule. When in your home, I will strive to maintain your pet’s environment and schedule. I want your pet to be comfortable while we are together.

About: Hi, I'm a professional dog trainer. I can offer a safe and enriching environment to feel like home away from home for your dog. You can guarantee in my care your loved one will get the best quality experience. I'm really open on the weekends and have a few shorter days during the week. Thursdays are my only day that I work all day. Looking for some time to spend with pups that isn't in a training ring. I have a fully fenced yard. Also, my pups are here to keep your dog company. We do a lot of practice with door safety and waiting for food.

About: I’ve loved and cared for a variety of animals throughout my life. I’ve had dogs, cats, a parakeet, hamsters, gerbils, rats, ferrets, fish, a bearded dragon, and a red tail boa. I LOVE animals. When I was a kid I would even spend my weekends at our local pet shop holding and playing with their animals. I am a mother of two teenagers, and have been a small business owner, so I am extremely responsible, reliable, caring, attentive to detail, and have the skills to do anything necessary to care for your pets. I am available most of the time, and my time is flexible. I recently sold my half of my small business and am now taking some time for myself (that I want to fill with animals!), so I am almost always available and flexible. We have a fenced in yard, but we also live in a beautiful historic neighborhood and love taking walks around the neighborhood and to the park as often as possible.

“I Highly recommend Abbi, she is very kind and understanding! I know she took good care of my kitties and they both loved her. Even the one who usually doesn’t come put for people let her hold him and cuddle.”


“This was the second time that I had Ashley come and take care of my cat Harley. Ashley been super professional, shown up when requested and communicated his status and photos to us. He is extremely shy and timid of other people. To our surprise, Harley is so comfortable with her that he even gave her a head rub and let her pet him this second time which is truly astonishing since he is afraid of EVERYONE!!! Ashley has been great!”


“Not only is Dorothy an excellent dog sitter, but she is a true animal lover! This was confirmed at our meet and greet when she rescued a parakeet that had gotten itself lost and seemed to be begging her for help! It was amazing! Happily, the parakeet has found a wonderful, forever home with Dorothy! She is great!!!”



About: After having worked in a veterinary office and years of pet sitting, I believe I can provide excellent care for your dog so you won't have to worry. I am able to provide house visits throughout the day, frequent walks, and some play time. I am aware of dog habits, training, and social interactions allowing for me to be aware of what the dog is meaning or wanting. I am physically fit, so I look forward to taking your dog on walks or runs and having a fun play day. Also I am not afraid to provide any bathing or special care your pup may need while you are away. I look forward to speaking with you and having a great time with your pup!! Having a dog myself that had some particular health issues, I am very familiar with the need to having someone who cares and knows what they are doing when taking care of my pet and therefore I supply the same amount of time, care and patience to others pets as well. I am very particular about my own home and therefore treat others homes the same. And if possible leave it better than how I found it. I make sure everything is cleaned up and ready for when the owners return.

“Petey was so helpful w my grumpy elder male cat. He cleaned up after him even when he spotted poo markings on a chair, and kept me up to date on how he was doing w his meds, poops (big part of his diabetes and elder cat needs) and spirit :) wish I could use him again in Nola but he'll be moving to OH! Good luck and thanks so much Petey!”


About: I’m strong and can hang with the biggest of ‘em and gentle enough for the littlest. I have a dog that requires daily pills and some say I’m a pro at them 👌🏻 I work a regular m-f/8-5 job and usually free on weekends the whole day. I can tend to your pet after work on the weekdays (gives me and your pet a little exercise 😉) I have a fenced in yard at my home and enjoy taking walks when I can. If a client doesn’t have a yard, I can take the pet for a quick once-around

About: I have had quite the experience with dog sitting for the past 10 years. I have the experience for any type of dog or cat and have been well entrusted with families. I am currently working part- time and have the time to help out! I enjoy spending time with a animals and love to help out when needed:) While I’ve only dog sat for others and have a dog myself, I love caring and being around animals. If needed training I could work with them and crate training.
