“Maelee was so amazing with our pups! We were so grateful to have Maelee step in for a last-minute drop-in for our dogs. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly experienced in handling dogs with care and attention. Knowing our dogs were in good hands gave us such peace of mind. We appreciated the updates and the extra effort she put into making sure they were comfortable and happy. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and dependable to care for your pets, we highly recommend Maelee!”
“Lauren was a great help with my last minute booking! She was very accommodating and followed all my instructions. I would definitely book with her again.”
“I left my dog, Theo, with Kelsey and Forrest for a few hours, and definitely plan on using them again in the future! They were very accommodating, and facilitated a meet-up beforehand, so that Theo could get comfortable with them and their space before his stay. When I dropped him off, he didn’t even look back! Kelsey and Forrest are very trustworthy and obviously animal lovers.”
“Kim is the absolute best, leaving my pup is very sad but I feel comforted knowing Kim is going to be checking in on her. Plus, the highlight of my day is the little notes Kim leaves along with pictures of my sweet Suggie!! I can't thank Kim enough for being so reliable and trustworthy!”
About: I’ve had pets all my life, with experience caring for dogs of many different sizes and breeds. While taking care of your pet I will make them feel at home, maintain their routine with them and give plenty of attention. Pet care is vital in my house. With 3 animals to take care of, I have daily routines set in place in order to ensure my pets are well taken care of. We have a fenced in yard and space to run around, and a quiet, no-outlet neighborhood with no drive-thru traffic for walks. There is a dog bed for sleeping and a crate if needed.
“Abby did a great job of taking care of my two cats over several days and leaving messages with updates and communicating regularly. She was very professional about meeting beforehand to get acquainted and rolled with some last minute changes.”
“Kaitlyn was professional and prompt while checking in on my cats while I was away. She sent a brief update on how they were doing and pictures which was very much appreciated! Would definitely recommend!”
“Brain was great with our medically fragile and slightly grumpy cat. He was quick to communicate and was competent in finding ways to get around our cats demeanor. He did what he needed to do to keep her safe and did everything he could to also make her feel as comfortable and taken care of as possible. He was great and we will definitely be using him again to care for our kitty.”
About: I’ve been around cats and dogs since childhood. My friends, family, and co-workers have trusted me to care for their fur babies! I have a senior pittie with reactive/aggressive behavior, so I do have experience and empathy towards that! I work full time Monday-Thursday 7:30am-5pm but can drop in after work or later in the evening as well. Friday-Sunday are my more flexible days! I fully respect the owner’s schedule for their pet and will follow whatever instructions are needed to ensure your pet is safe and cared for properly. I would ask the same for my own!
“Ariel was communicative, friendly, and very easy to work with. She took great are of our cat, Ollie, with frequent drop-in visits while we were out of town. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
About: I have loved dogs ever since I was a child. For the past 8 years I have watched dogs for family and friends. I enjoy walking and playing with dogs and am comfortable working with young puppies. I am currently in between jobs so I have plenty of time to spend with your furry friends! I'm available most weekdays for walks and pet care. I have a fenced in backyard and a small-medium 1 year old dog who loves to play. I can easily crate your dog if needed.
“I can’t say enough great things! Maggie has watched Remmy for 4 months and he absolutely loves her. She is kind and caring and takes great care of him. Thank you so much for always making sure things are going smooth and that he’s okay. She goes above and beyond!”
“Claire is the best! She is reliable and took the time to get to know each of our cats’ personalities. Two of our cats are on a pretty strict medication regimen and Claire was able to administer their meds with no issue. Best cat sitter we have ever had!!!”
“Couldn’t be happier with the way Holly handled the drop-in visits for our dogs. She shared photos and updates after each visit and it was very comforting. I could tell the dogs enjoyed her visits. Would absolutely book again!”
About: I have experience with dogs and cats of all sizes and ages. I love to make pets feel comfortable while their loved ones are away! I am reliable, communicative, and always prioritize your pet’s comfort and safety. I have a flexible schedule and a passion to allow for time during the day to take your pet for walks, play, and feed them. Ask me about my new client discount! You can count on me to provide frequent updates, photos, and open communication. I believe that building trust is the foundation for great pet care.
About: I’ve taken care of pets other than my own since seven years old. From family, to friends, to neighbors. Good with pets of all ages, phenomenal at getting stubborn senior pups to eat their food. I am currently a full-time student, with most classes landing in the 8am-4pm range. There is usually a break between, so I am available for mid-day walks/visits! I am available on some holidays. I currently live with my anti-pet parents, so caring for pets in my clients home is ideal. This is much less stressful on the pet, having their familiar environment. I am non-invasive and will respect any requests you have for my time in your home.

She took great care with my senior dog Mitzy, making sure she tested the pavement before a walk on a hot day, lots of water, and lots of love for my sweet girl. Grace does this because she truly loves dogs and her genuine interest in dogs and kindness is palpable! I feel peace of mind knowing Grace is available to stay with Mitzy when I’m out of town because she loves Grace which helps me know I can trust her. Thanks Grace for all your attentive care and responsibility for Mitzy.”
