“Katharine (and her daughter) did a fantastic job caring for our cat. She did a great job at communicating and took care to understand and follow through on all my instructions. It is evident that she loves animals. In the meet-and-greet, her calm, confident demeanor impressed me as our large dogs gave her a very "barky" welcome. I highly recommend Katharine!”

“The level of detail that Regina provided with each visit is the quality of care that I’ve been looking for in a cat sitter for years!!! Finally, I can fully enjoy my time away knowing my cats are well cared for! The app worked flawlessly! I received an alert at the beginning and end of each visit. Regina was extremely attentive and provided detailed information and photos of both cats after each visit. So grateful to have found Regina! Will definitely use her again! Highly recommend!”

“Stephanie was an absolute dream cat sitter for Murray. She was attentive, responsive, and most importantly, loved on Murray so much that I could feel it even when I was far away! Murray is a senior kitty and she handled all of his medical needs like a champ. I can't recommend her enough! 🐾🐾”

“110% recommend Alicia to anyone. She was very communicative and loved our kitties while we were gone. She played with them and allowed them to cuddle with her.”

About: I understand that leaving your beloved canine companion can be difficult. To ease your mind and ensure your furry friend has a wonderful time while you're away, I offer a personalized care program tailored to their unique personality and needs. My services go beyond simple pet-sitting. I'll get to know your dog's individual habits and preferences – whether they're a spirited adventurer who thrives on long walks and energetic games at the dog park, or a more laid-back pup who enjoys leisurely strolls and quiet playtime. We'll develop a schedule that incorporates engaging activities designed to stimulate their mind and body. This might include: * **Energetic Adventures:** Long walks exploring new trails, exciting visits to dog-friendly parks, or even fun trips in the car to change their scenery. * **Playtime and Enrichment:** Engaging in stimulating play sessions with appropriate toys and games, tailored to your dog's energy level and preferences. * **Gentle Training Reinforcement:** Positive reinforcement training to maintain good manners and strengthen our bond, focusing on building confidence and trust. I've been fostering dogs from a local rescue organization, and it's been an amazing experience. I've met so many dogs – big, small, fluffy, sleek, you name it! And each one is totally unique, with their own quirky personality. They're all so different, but they all have one thing in common: they crave kindness, attention, playtime, and lots and lots of love. It's been incredibly rewarding. My approach is always gentle, patient, and positive. My goal is to keep your dog happy, engaged, and feeling secure in your absence, minimizing any feelings of separation anxiety and ensuring they have a fantastic time while you are away. I'll keep you updated with regular photos and texts so you can rest assured your furry friend is in the best of hands. flexible services. I have availability throughout June, and July, and am happy to work with your schedule to find times that suit your needs. Whether you need occasional daytime care to allow you to run errands, attend appointments, or simply take a break, I'm here to help. My services include engaging playtime, assistance with potty breaks, and of course, ensuring your little one is safe and happy in my care. I'm also available for drop-in visits, offering a convenient solution for short periods of care. Please feel free to contact me to discuss your specific requirements and to arrange a convenient time to chat about scheduling. I look forward to hearing from you soon! Just wanted to let you know that while I love all dogs, I do have some size restrictions for boarding. To make sure I have space for your furry friend, shoot me a message and we can chat about availability! For in-home care, I really believe a dog's own home is their happy place – it's all about feeling safe and secure. I'll make sure your pup has a relaxing time, but we'll also have some fun, keeping in mind what they enjoy and need.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs most of my life and have watched dogs for friends and family. I also fostered dogs through Ruffstart Rescue and Happy Tails. I’ve watched small dogs to big dogs ranging from puppies to senior dogs! I work Mondays and half day Tuesdays so I’m available on the weekends! I could be available Wednesday-Friday if I know ahead of time! Weekends are when I like to dedicate time to being active outside with my own dog Lady. I like to go on walks and go to the dog park. I live in a house and have a fenced in yard. No kids. I do have a 6 YO German Shepherd mix who loves to play!

About: I’m available for your animals’ needs - whether that’s caring for them at my house, staying at yours, or just swinging by for walks and pets. I have a sweet dog, two cats, and a 22-year-old ball python I’ve had since grade school. I’m experienced with traditional pets, rodents, and reptiles. I am a full-time remote worker, so I am around throughout the day! Whether your pet is energetic, elderly, or a little shy, I’m happy to follow their routines and give them lots of love. I’m also comfortable with medications, special diets, and senior pet needs. I treat every home with respect, and every animal like family. ⸻ 🐶 Dogs I love all dogs and am happy to hang with your pup at your home or visit for long walks. I do 3+ miles with my own dog and look forward to having different buddies with me on my walks. Boarding: I have an old-time Scotch Collie. She’s a well-trained, responsive, dog-friendly pup, but personalities don’t mesh, I keep dogs separate in our open-concept/split level house. If your dog is older or more reserved, I can easily separate the pups in our space. I live just off a bike path and walk or run daily with my collie. I’m happy to meet whatever cadence of walks your dog prefers. I also have a small fenced area where I offer potty breaks or I will walk them around our 1 acre property. My two long-haired cats are incredibly mellow. In past dog-sitting experiences, they’ve remained totally unbothered by barking, sniffing, or attention-seeking dogs. ⸻ 🐱 Cats If I’m sitting for your cat, I will provide a private room in the house, complete with their own litter box and space to climb, lounge, and settle in. I don’t believe in forcing intermingling with my resident pets—I want your cat to feel safe and relaxed. I will check in regularly for play, attention, and cuddles. —Unique Family Members— 🐭 Rodents I’ve had 6 pet rats in my life and think they’re some of the most wonderful animals—smart, affectionate, and full of personality (I even broke a toe playing tag with one when I was little!). I’m happy to care for any small critter and always consider them part of the family. I also have experience with hamsters, gerbils, and guinea pigs. ⸻ 🦎 Reptiles Although I only have Rex right now (my 22-year-old ball python), I’ve also cared for a variety of lizards and feeder animals. From bearded dragons to leopard and crested geckos, I’m familiar with preparing collard green salads, dusting crickets, maintaining humidity and temperature, and ensuring overall habitat health. I’ve ordered crickets in bulk—so I know they require care too. While Rex is currently fed frozen rodents, I’m also comfortable managing live prey if your reptile/s require them. As a full-time remote worker, I’m available throughout the day. I take regular breaks to go for walks, give attention, or check in on animals staying with us. My mornings and evenings are flexible, so I can match your pet’s normal schedule—whether that’s medication timing, playtime, or feeding routines. Animals are never left unsupervised with each other until we know everyone is comfortable. New pets are introduced slowly and calmly, with plenty of space to decompress. Sometimes personalities don’t click, in which case we easily keep them apart so that everyone is happy.

“Jenna is always so wonderful with our kitty! He loves her so much! When we come home, he doesn’t seem angry or sad, just a happy kitty like the way we left him. I will continue to use Jenna’s services for whenever we go out of town. She is so wonderful!”

Holly H.

“Katy did an excellent job of caring for Freddie and LuLu. She is a true animal lover and our cats picked up that immediately. She is a good communicator and kept us updated. We plan to work with Katy in the future!”

Jill P.

“Annalyse was wonderful. Very prompt and great communication. She was willing to work with us on very short notice. I am 100% confident my 3 cats were well cared for. Loved receiving pictures every time she stopped by! Thanks, Annalyse!”

Kathy S.

“Olivia did a great job caring for our pets while we were out of town. She even got our more standoffish dog to warm up to her! 10/10! Would recommend!”

About: I have been dog and cat sitting for over 10yrs. I usually stay at the owners house. Experienced with dogs with medical issues, and high anxiety. I have given medications and have done some training. I have done just overnight stays, but have also done 3month long stays. I am also a Hairstylist and Skin care specialist. I rent a chair at a salon and make my own schedule, so my hours are flexable. I enjoy spending time with pets, but just don't live in a place were I can have one. I am not married and have no children, so I am completely available and focused on your pet. I usually like to meet you and your pet/pets about 1week before the scheduled appointment, so I can get to know you, your pet and your pets routine, feeding times, walking, medications if needed, etc. This also helps the dog recognize me when I show up, when you aren't there.

About: What sets me apart is my deep, genuine connection with animals and my many years of hands-on experience. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and personalities — from playful puppies learning the ropes to senior pets who need a gentler touch and extra patience. I’m intuitive when it comes to reading an animal’s needs and adapting to their energy level, whether that means an adventurous walk, a fun play session, or calm cuddle time. Because I recently lost my own beloved dog, I understand how important it is to find someone who will love and care for your pet like family. I pride myself on reliability, clear communication, and creating a safe, happy environment for every animal in my care. Your pet’s well-being is always my top priority. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pet the attention they need — whether that’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or extended stays. I enjoy starting my mornings with fresh air and exercise, so walks fit perfectly into my day, and I’m equally happy to spend time playing, cuddling, or simply keeping your pet company. Weekends and evenings are just as open, so I can easily adjust to your pet’s routine to keep them happy and comfortable. When I care for pets in their home, I make it my priority to keep their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. I follow your instructions closely — from feeding times and walks to favorite toys and cozy spots — so your pet feels safe and at ease. I provide plenty of love, playtime, and companionship, and I’m attentive to their needs and moods. I also keep your home tidy and secure, and I send regular updates so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in loving hands.

“Brandi did a wonderful job watching my cats while I was away on holiday! She followed all special instructions and showed them lots of love. I would absolutely book her again if/when the need arises!”
