“Since I have a very spoiled cat, she provided very special care for Meester! If Lorraine would accept my next trip for boarding I would be very appreciative! Thank you for providing excellent care!”


“Christi and Sara are phenomenal! They were referred to me and I’m so glad I listened! My husband and I were able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing that Christi and Sara had everything taken care of. I loved the photo updates with each visit! I highly recommend them! I have three cats total and one on special medication twice a day. They were able to administer medication with no issues! Thank you to them for the great care!”


“Colleen was a life saver! She was trustworthy and very good! She fed my cats, fish and turtle while we were away for a week every few days. I felt very comfortable leaving the house in her care.”


“Harlie has done a phenomenal job at taking care of my cat while I was away on vacation with family! Would definitely choose her again as my first choice to watch over my cat, as well as recommend her to anyone else who needs someone to look after their pet while they are away!”


About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Right now, I have a cat and a dog at home, and I’ve fostered many cats, kittens, and senior dogs over the years. My goal is to spoil your pet while in my care, and be their home away from home. I’m available for pet boarding in my home every day, and I’d love to meet you and show you around during a meet-and-greet. I also now offer drop-in visits and doggy day care! I take a lot of pride in being honest, flexible, and responsible, so you know your fur baby is in good hands! I'm home full-time, which means your pet will have constant care and attention throughout the day. If they’re still potty training, they’ll receive regular, consistent breaks. For pets who are already trained, they’ll be free to explore and socialize with my dog, Odie. With me around all day, your pet will enjoy fresh air, bathroom breaks, playtime, and plenty of love whenever they need it. I have a secure fenced in yard, and my Yorkie is here to keep your baby company. I’m more than willing to administer any necessary medication, but please note that if crating is required, you’ll need to provide the crate.

“I used Amanda’s drop-in services for my senior dog. During our meet-and-greet, Amanda made me feel super comfortable with leaving my dog in her care. She even accommodated an additional drop-in time than I had originally requested. During the drop-ins, she gave my dog great attention, and she provided detailed messages with sweet photos after every visit. My dog seemed so happy in her care. I recommend her services to anyone who wants to come home to a happy pet!”


“Valerie did a fantastic job checking in on my kitty, Benny. I loved receiving her updates and seeing the photos of her visits. Great and very quick communication, I will definitely be using her services again when needed. Thank you for taking such great care of Benny!”



“Absolutely love the professionalism and compassion. They have a passion for what they do and not only for animals but for us pet parents as well. I will not use any other sitters and you shouldn’t either! Thank you Sara, Maria & Raul!”


About: I've taken care of dogs ever since I was 12 and got my dog Jackson. I have experience with training puppies, obedience training and giving dogs medication. In addition I love walking dogs, taking them on runs and playing with them. I work from home and am looking for a fun way to fill my lunch breaks and afternoons/early mornings. I am excited to take care of your furever friend I am an avid runner and love hikes. I am looking forward to taking your furry friend to the park, running along the Five Star Trail and on hikes throughout the neighborhood

“Prompt and professional response on short notice. Took time to meet our dog and go over what we needed. Kept us updated and took very good care of Birdie. Highly recommend them and hope they're available for our next outing.”


“I would recommend Maria and Matt to anyone! Our sweet kitty needs extra attention. He had to have medication and extra special care, as he's a Sphynx with a weak immune system. Not only did they send pictures and updates, but they assisted with additional food accommodations as well. Thank you!”


About: I grew up on an a small animal farm in Florida. Growing up in this environment taught me a lot about hard work, dedication and responsibility. On our farm we had numerous animals, some including goats, donkeys, cow and chickens. In addition we had many horses, cats and dogs. I had many responsibilities on the farm such as feeding, mucking out and general care. I have also had many exciting experience such as helping give birth to foals and baby donkeys. Growing up on this farm helped me realize my love for horses. So I took it up as a full time sport the past 12 years and I loved every second of it. In those 12 years I have had the opportunity to work with different breeds, young horses and ride different disciplines. In addition to working with horses, I helped train and look after my two huskies. These two are very energetic and high maintenance so, it was a tough job at first but now they are very well behaved. Over the past few years I have taken up pet sitting as a part time job. I have been able to pet sit many different breeds of dogs and cats. Furthermore, I have had the opportunity to pet sit horses and other livestock. I currently am looking to take up pet care as a part time job as I am currently home for some time. Therefore, I have plenty time to spend with your pets. Currently I have two dogs and a horse at home. I spend most of my day playing, feeding and providing care to them. I hope to provide your pet and your home with the same exceptional care. With being attentive, responsible and caring. My extensive experience with all types of animals will have me prepared for any situation. I hope to leave you feeling confident and content that I will provide the best care for your pets and home.

About: I’ve taken care of all sizes of dogs and cats for about 15 years in total, I’ve given pets medicine and always make sure they have what they need. :) Currently I can only house sit or take pets on walks. Available hours: 7 AM - 8 PM. Overnight not available. Can stay the full day to take care of pet(s). Tell me what the preference is for your pet and consider it done! Can exercise with high-energy pets, keep them company if they have separation anxiety, whatever you need. Consistently checking on bathroom and food/water needs.
