Truly went above and beyond to make sure all of my fur babies with comfortable and loved on. I never once worried about my pets or home at all. She took such good care of them and the adorable photos she sent were so much fun to share with my human babies. Truly went above all my expectations you can tell she truly loves animals and is just a really good person. I absolutely appreciate her.”

“This is the second time we’ve used Katlyn’s services for house sitting. She did an excellent job looking after the house but most importantly taking wonderful care of our dog and cats.”


“Kathy is the best! She is reliable, knowledgeable, jovial, and truly loves animals. After our return from three weeks abroad, we could tell that Kathy gave our two puppies lots of attention and love. They also became more social and calmer with people and Kathy trained them to listen better. Although the puppies' wellbeing was the most important to use in selecting a friend for them, Kathy was also a great house sitter, instrumental in helping us connect with an A/C repairman across continents and kept everything neat and running. Thank you, Kathy!”


“When Emily took care of my girl over spring break, I was nothing but comfortable the entire time being away from my dog. She was very loving and kind to her: always made sure her water bowl was full, fed her on time, walked her and let her sniff everything, but most importantly, Emily gave Jill space to get to know her on Jill’s terms. That’s important to me because she didn’t make Jill feel uncomfortable or pressured to like her, she let it happen naturally, and boy did it. I can’t recommend Emily enough, thank you!”


About: I’ve grown up with pets and have always been the go to sitter for friends and family. I may not have formal experience yet, but I’m reliable, compassionate, and I truly enjoy caring for animals. I take the time to understand each pet’s needs and personality so they feel safe and loved. I am most experienced with dogs! I’m currently working full time so I’m available Wednesday through Friday every week, and every other Saturday. I work Sunday through Tuesday and every other Saturday so I’m unavailable on those days. I’m happy to offer morning, afternoon, or evening visits on the days I’m off and can be flexible with advance notice! I provide a safe, clean, and cozy environment for pets in my care. I live in a small apartment and have a friendly small dog who gets along well with other pups. Because of my space and my current pet, I’m best suited for small sized dogs and even medium sized dogs who are comfortable in a smaller setting and around other dogs. I’m not able to accommodate larger dogs in my home at this time. I always supervise interactions to ensure everyone stays safe and happy. Pets in my care get plenty of attention, playtime, and potty breaks. I treat every pet like family and do my best to follow their routine to help them feel at home.

“Brianna was communicative throughout her time Petsitting for me. I really appreciated the photos and videos she sent, too! She left my home nice and clean and made sure everything was well taken care of while I was gone!”


“Shannon was wonderful! She was great with following the information about feeding our girls and giving them their medication. When our flight was delayed, she even stayed a little extra time with them to make sure they got an extra yard break. Most importantly, our girls really liked Shannon and even slept on the bed with her.”


“This was Cleo’s first time without the family, Kimberly took the time to provide updates on Cleo’s adjustments and bonded with Cleo quickly. We really appreciate you KIM! Thank you for taking care our dear Cleo.”


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.

Liam M.

“Liam was a huge help to us last minute when our regular sitter needed to cancel. We have a special needs dog and she was very comfortable with Liam. He had great communication and was responsible. Thank you, Liam!”


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.”
