“She was amazing in taking care of my 3 cats! She even took care of plants as well. She updated me with pictures of my cats and played with them the whole time she was with them. Highly recommend!”


“Felicia was very kind and patient with Charlie, as he's very shy and sometimes stubborn. She was also very considerate about not exposing him to the heat and keeping him entertained inside the house. Felicia was also punctual and always available to give me a report on Charlie.”


“I’ve had Christina check in a few times on my cat & she definitely goes above & beyond! She’s available when I need her services, great at communicating and especially great with my girly! I highly recommend!”

“Alan is fantastic! He communicates fast, leaves detailed over view of the day, and takes amazing photos of remi! He is kind and gentle to my baby and also gives her much attention, can’t ask for more than that!”


“Kayla did an amazing job on a few check ins while we were out of town. Our cat Desi has really taken a liking to her, probably because Kayla will brush her out when she stops by. Kayla also went above and beyond and helped revive our plants. Will continue to hire her”


About: I have 20+ years of pet care experience from working at a Veterinary Clinic as a kennel attendant to becoming a dog and cat groomer for nearly 8 years. I have pet sat, house sat, fostered, been a dog walker, administered insulin, and made grooming house calls. I currently work full time as a Life Enrichment Director at a senior living community. My job provides me with great fulfillment and purpose but I have always had a passion for taking care of animals. I do have a lot of flexibility with my work and because I create my own schedule, I am able to accommodate your needs to the best of my ability. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust and rely on and I appreciate the opportunity to build that relationship with you. I have a very sweet, loving husky who is great with pets, people, and is extremely playful and submissive. I also have two cats in my household as well. I live in an apartment building where a large fenced dog park is right out my front door and an extra furnished (unoccupied) bedroom can be used to keep your furry friend cozy. As far as your own home, I would be extremely respectful, clean, quiet, and only do what is asked of me. I have my own life, which I love, so would never hang around, unless that is something you need or wanted.

About: I have taken care of plenty of pets whether it be for my family, their neighbors or my neighbors. I ve done something as simple as to check on them and walk them to staying at the persons house to make sure the pet is all good and the house is fine as well. I work full time monday to friday but I start early in the day and will have plenty of time to take care of the puppies and make sure to play with them and have them taken care of. I have an apartment with one sweet and loving dog. If needed I can crate or leave my dog in another room if thats necessary.

“Emily filled in for walks on short notice and did wonderful. Her communication and attention to detail was well above expectations. She took detailed notes on the routine and my pup loved her! Highly recommend for anyone needing a their pup walked”


About: Having 2 doxies trained me to be patient and to dispense all the love and attention they need (it's a lot:) I simply love to cuddle up with a pup or play if they're in the mood. I have a lifetime of cat experience and raised 2 mini dachshunds ( lost in divorce) whom I worshipped! I'm great with house sitting and will treat your pet like they are my own. In your home, I will follow directions to the letter and leave your house as it was when I arrived. Warning...your pet may be spoiled:) I have cared for elderly dogs & puppies! I love cats as well, and used to socialize kitties at the Humane Society.

About: Hi, I’m Dominique! I’ve been caring for dogs for family, friends, and neighbors for over 5 years, and I truly love spending time with animals. I have two dogs of my own, Cuddles my sweet Lab, and Axel my playful Pitbull, so I’m very comfortable with pups of all sizes and personalities. I’ve also cared for cats and enjoy giving every four-legged friend the love, attention, and care they deserve. Whether it’s snuggles, walks, or playtime, I’ll treat your pets like part of my family! I attend beauty school Tuesday–Friday from 9am–5pm, but I’m fully available in the evenings after class and all day on Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays. That means I can give your pets plenty of love, attention, and exercise on weekends and evenings. With two dogs of my own, I’m already used to balancing a busy schedule while making sure pets get the care, playtime, and snuggles they need. I’ll make sure your furry friend feels happy and cared for too! Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. Since I don’t offer care in my own home, I’ll make sure they feel secure and loved right in their own environment where they’re most comfortable. I’ll follow your routine closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or just quiet snuggles, so your pet feels at ease. On walks, I’ll always use safe routes and keep a close eye to ensure your pup is happy and secure. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is being cared for with love and responsibility.

About: I have had the ability to have 2 small shelter rescue dogs, Neptune and Apollo. Neptune is no longer with us, but he and Apollo were both well trained and loved life. I have grown up around dogs and dog sat for several family members and friends in the past. I will make sure your dog is having fun and loving life when they are with me. I am currently a college student and have a very flexible schedual with most afternoon and evenings available along with the weekends. I do attend church for 2 hours on Sunday, but other than that I can be with your pet all weekend long. I check water bowls every hour and set alarms on my phone to make sure I never miss feeding time or medication. I play with your pets and take them on long walks when it is safe temperature wise to do so. Any medical concern will be run by the pet parent first unless a dire emergency arises, in which I will need preference(s) for vet(s) in the area listed ahead of time.

“Katie is amazing! She was very kind and patient with me when I needed to make some changes to the dates. She was very loving with our girl and she kept us informed of each visit she made. Next time we will ask her to take care of Rosita again. Thank you so much for everything, Katie!”


About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs for 8+ years for friends and family. I have overnight dog sitting experience to just dog walks and potty breaks! I work from home a few days a week and would love to add some walks to my routine during my remote days. I’m also home a lot on weekends and can do longer term dog sitting as well. I provide care for pets in their own home to keep them comfortable in a familiar environment. My services include feeding according to the pet’s routine, ensuring they have fresh water, administering medications if needed, walking dogs, cleaning litter boxes or cages, and offering plenty of playtime, exercise, and affection. I also monitor their behavior and well-being, giving updates to owners so they know their pets are happy and safe while they’re away.

Kelly B.
“I highly recommend Kelly B. as a pet sitter. My senior cat, Ildiko, is very shy and skittish. She is usually quite scared of new people. So, I had my concerns about leaving her with someone that she did not know. I should not have worried. Kelly B. is like a cat whisperer. First, Kelly got down low to the cat’s level. Then, she began talking to her in a soft voice. Kelly extended her hand to Ildiko so my cat could sniff it. Only then did Kelly begin to pet my cat, building trust with both of us; Ildiko felt safe. Kelly is a true animal lover—responsible, caring, and professional. My fur baby was happy and well cared for in Kelly’s hands, which put my mind at ease. For the great service that she provides, Kelly’s rates are reasonable. I truly don’t like leaving my old cat Ildiko with anyone, but you can trust Kelly to provide love, care, and a safe environment for your pet.”


Trevor J.
“Trevor has done petsitting for us a couple of times and we were more than happy with how it all went. The animals were in great hands and the house was just as we left it. He was very trustworthy, and did a great job taking care of our furbabies. (And tortoise too.) We would hire him again in a heartbeat!”

London followed our detailed notes and kept our pups safe and busy. She was able to come last minute (over 4th of July weekend), saving us from having to cancel our vacation. She even swept up the mess that the two pups had brought in from outside. We definitely recommend and will use her again in the future!”
