About: Animals have been in my life since I was a young girl, dogs, cats, and birds. When my children were young, we raised a litter of 8-German Shorthaired Pointers, it felt like the Disney story only with German Shorthairs not Dalmatians! Over the years I have taken care of my friend's and neighbor's animals when needed, sometimes for days, weeks and as long as a month at a time. I am now retired; my beloved pets have passed on, of course, I miss my animals so much and now I have found that helping others with their pets has filled that place in my heart. I look forward to the opportunity to meet you and your pet(s) and build a new furship! I am retired, a natural caregiver and love being outdoors and staying active. I am a homebody and enjoy the company of pets, be it cats, dogs, or birds. I spend time working in my yard and would welcome the company of a furry friend. I own my home which is fenced. I do have a pool so animals will not be left unattended in the backyard. My neighborhood is perfect for dog walking. I communicate with clients as to their needs and wishes for the pet care, whether it's for walks, drop ins, boarding, etc.

“Laura took fantastic care of my newly adopted cat, Lillian, while I was away. Even though Lillian is still adjusting to her new environment, Laura was incredibly gentle, patient, and made her feel comfortable. She sent me regular updates and photos, which really helped ease my anxiety about leaving her for the first time. Not only did Laura keep Lillian company and play with her, but she also went above and beyond by cleaning up all the poop Lillian left outside the litter box (we’re still working on that). I highly recommend Laura if you’re looking for someone who’s reliable, caring, and actually puts effort into making your pet feel loved. I’ll absolutely be booking her again!”


“Shylah loves Jean! We appreciate the peace of mind we have knowing that Shylah is being well taken care of.”


About: I've been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember. I currently have three dogs, two Scottish terriers and one Britney. I've trained and dealt with puppies. I also know the care that senior animals require. I've helped others with their animals on multiple occasions and have had many different kinds of animals. I've had experience with hampsters, guinea pigs, rats, turtles, bearded dragons, fish, hermit crabs, and of course dogs and cats! I love animals and I am willing to do any tasks required in taking care of them. I'm a happy and quick learner and will make sure your pet is taken care of. I currently work a part time job during the week for 4 hours of the day. This allows me much extra time to spend with your wonderful animals and take care of them! I will happily spend the nights with them and stay with them for as long as I can so they are not lonely if you are comfortable with that :) I will come to your home and do whatever is required of me! I always make sure the animals are taken care of first and foremost and usually spend a lot of time with them, such as walking and/or playing.

“Samantha did a great job helping me with my dog. She is an awesome pet sitter. I am definitely gonna using her again.”


“Arabelle was amazing! Didn’t have to stress about our dogs while she watched them 😊”


“Danielle always take such care with my boys. They are both old guys and she is very patient and adapts to what she feels like they are up for when she arrives! She’s fantastic!”


“Just in case you didn’t know, Melissa is a cat lover too. I’ve traveled a great deal and she has kept my cat fed & happy & cared for over a week at a time. I highly recommend her!”

“Please read for warnings. Torie is someone who seems to truly love cats and gave my cat lots of love/attention which is why I’m giving 4 stars but there are a few red flags that make me reconsider booking her again. Luckily I had cameras set up so I could monitor what she did in my home: 1. On the first day, she brought a complete stranger into my home without permission. This is completely rude and unprofessional. 2. Not a huge deal, but I booked her for 3 visits, one for around noon and the other 2 for around 5pm. All 3 visits were done around noon. I said I wasn’t strict about time but wanted it to be after working hours after the first visit. 3. Taking care of my cat is pretty easy, I just asked for his food to be refilled, cat litter cleaned, for him to be pet, and for him to be brushed. During first 2 visits she didn’t brush him at all. When I texted asking her to brush him she literally did 2-3 brush strokes (not exaggerating) on her last visit. If brushing is important I’d strongly reconsider booking. 4. A bit too nosey for my liking but I might be a bit sensitive. Cat was always in an open area in living room yet she walked over and took purposeful glances multiple times into my bedroom and office and looked in my fridge. Overall if Torie learns to brush cats, comes at agreed times (even if not perfect), respects privacy, and doesn’t bring strangers to the home then she’ll be a great cat sitter as it’s apparent that she truly loves cats and gets joy from taking care of them.”


“Erin is a joy to work with! She is caring, conscientious, dependable and kind! I was able to relax & enjoy our trip to visit with family knowing that Willow was well-cared for in Erin’s capable hands. Willow warmed to Erin right away and let her pet her & was even playful with her toys which is high praise because she usually hides herself away! Definitely 5 Stars & highly recommend!! 🌸💕”


About: I've loved animals my entire life. Grew up around many different species from Horses, goats, chickens and of course doggies. So I have the experience and understanding of what it takes to care for them. I do work part time at the moment, but have flexibility during the week. Currently have a 5 year old yellow lab named Lily, who LOVES to walk. Walk my 5 year old yellow lab every day around my work schedule. Provide her with vitamins and joint pills with every meal. Healthy treats too.

“Fabulous. Simply fabulous. Everyone was happy, healthy, and well cared for. Even the blind cats took to Sam. She is very good to everyone in the pack we have here, and a pleasure to talk to. Will definitely use her again if possible.”

“We had peace of mind knowing Lauren was taking care of our pup! She sent pictures of each visit and communicated details of his care. We highly recommend Lauren!”


About: Growing up, I helped raise French bulldog puppies with my parents so I have tons of experience, feeding dogs of all ages, cleaning up messes, keeping them entertained, etc. I do work a part-time job and I am also in college, but I'm free most evenings and mornings, and I also have hour long lunch breaks where I can care for a pet as well. I will pay the closest attention to your pet. Make sure accidents are avoided or always cleaned up. I will make sure they're consistently fed and properly entertained to meet my clients and their furry babies needs!

About: I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether it’s playing, walking, or just giving them the attention they deserve. I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved. Can’t wait to meet your furry friend and provide them with the best care possible!” Working from home gives me the flexibility to provide your pet with plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. My weekends are free, allowing me to dedicate even more time to walks, playtime, and keeping your pet happy. My home is a safe and pet-friendly environment, free from hazards and designed for comfort. Whether indoors or in a fenced outdoor area, your pet will be in a protected and supervised space at all times.”

Lorraine L.
“I know Lorraine to be one of the most compansionate persons to all living creatures. I have witnessed her provide loving care to her own pets as well as any animal she comes in contact with. As a lover of nature in general, her love applies to birds, cats, dogs, bugs, etc. She happily watches friends and family member's pets when they are away and scoops in to rescue any stray that she comes in contact with. As someone who has raised and trained dogs for most of her life, she is also knowledgable regarding their loving and proper training. Any animal would be lucky to be part of her life. She is a wonderful preson. Pat L.”

Martha G.
“I can't say enough good things about our incredible pet sitter, Martha! From the moment Zula met her, it was clear she was in loving, capable hands. She went above and beyond to ensure she was happy, healthy, and cared for just like family. Whether it was playtime, meals, or those extra belly rubs Zula adores, everything was done with so much attention and heart. Coming home to a relaxed, content Zula—and even a little daily report with photos—was the best feeling. It's hard to trust someone with your fur baby, but Martha made it easy. I wouldn't trust anyone else with Zula! Thank you for being Zula's second favorite human (after me, of course)!”

Hayden P.
“We’ve been so fortunate to have Hayden care for our 14-year-old terrier, Stella. Stella is truly a part of our family, and we don’t trust just anyone to look after her—especially as she’s gotten older and needs extra attention. I tend to get very anxious about leaving Stella in someone else's care, but with Hayden, I never worry for a single moment. Hayden is incredibly reliable, professional, and trustworthy. She’s also one of the most caring and compassionate people we’ve met. She consistently goes above and beyond to ensure Stella feels safe, loved, and comfortable. It’s clear that Hayden genuinely loves animals and treats every pet like her own. Before caring for Stella, Hayden also watched our children—from when they were just 1 and 5 years old, through to 6 and 10. That level of trust and long-term reliability speaks volumes. If you're looking for someone to care for your pet like family, look no further—Hayden is the pet caregiver you should hire immediately.”


Kami L.
“I have known Kami for several years now and she is one of the kindest and most caring people you'll ever meet. Kami has watched over my dog Winston twice now. She loves him and he loves her! I wouldn't think about using another sitter for my dog. She is simply the best. Your dog will love her too!”
