“Amber was great! We had an unusual request (help us medicate our cats, it takes 2 people) and she jumped right in. Without her our kitties would have missed days of necessary medications.”

“Debbie was fantastic! She took wonderful care of my cats while I was away for a week making sure they were well-fed and spoiled with plenty of treats. It gave me such peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. I would absolutely hire her again!”

About: I am a cat mom and lover of all animals! I have experience with many types of animals, from cats and dogs, to reptiles and birds, to farm animals. I currently have a medically needy pet of my own, so I am well-versed in medicine administration and caring for animals with different needs. I am currently working at a school, so I have afternoons and weekends pretty much free! While I am caring for your pets, they are my number one scheduling priority. I will meet your pet where they are at in their own home, allowing them to stay in their safe space. I will adapt to their routines and give them a seamless experience until you return to them!

“Andrea has been dropping in on my two cats Stella and Sammy for the last few months and I honestly don’t know what I did without her before! She’s fantastic! This last time I was away, Sammy was sick one of the mornings. Andrea kept me up to date and did everything she could to make sure Sammy was ok. Couldn’t recommend her enough for all pet sitting needs! Thank you Andrea!”

About: Hello! I have 30 years of experience caring for pets. I own an 80lb lover-girl named Lobster and a 10lb rascal-cat named Trinity (from The Matrix!) My schedule is very flexible and I'm available for couch snuggles, energetic playdates, and walkies. My furry companions have other members of the family to care for them at home if I'm pet-sitting overnight. I can drop-in your place, go for walks, stay overnight, give your cat snuggles, or (with your approval) bring your pup(s) to my large fenced-in backyard!

About: I have been thoroughly enamored by dogs most of my life, ever since my family got our first black Lab. I have experience working with puppies, seniors, and everything in between! I currently have a 1-year-old puppy and 2 cats at home, all of whom are front-and-center in my life. I am also a veterinary technician (nurse), so I am very comfortable giving medication and caring for pets who may be unwell. I can also perform basic veterinary first aid, though I do not know CPR. I am extremely dedicated to keeping pets happy and healthy. I love working with them and discovering their unique personalities and quirks. I look forward to getting to know your dog! I am currently a full time vet tech, but am available all day on Sunday and Monday, and also afternoons (after 2 pm) on Wednesday and Saturday. I have one very friendly large-breed dog, who is generally pretty chill around other dogs, but will sometimes play. In your home, I would respect any boundaries you set and maintain common courtesy. I also strive to leave everything as I found it.

“Ace was so amazingly flexible and helpful during a long trip away from home. We booked her originally to care for our cats while we were away for a holiday trip, but when a family emergency came up and we needed to leave early she was able to add more dates to the booking and was right there sending updates and cute photos from home-lifting our mood during a difficult time. Our cats were in great spirits when we returned, and she went above and beyond straightening up their messy litter boxes-so our home felt well cared for as well. Can’t say enough great things about Ace. She’s a treasure and truly a caring person who loves animals.”

About: I grew up with dogs and love every dog I’ve met. I’ve been caring for dogs (and cats, chickens, pigs) for the last 10 years. I’ve cared for all sizes and breeds, mostly in their homes while their families go on vacation. This includes puppy and older dogs, following any instructions and keeping their routines. I currently work full-time. I typically do weekends (Friday-Sunday), but am available for extended or week long stays, if the dogs are typically okay for 8+ hours or another sitter to come let me out during the day. I make sure they are fed and have gone out before I leave and feed them and let them out when I get back and make sure it sit them with outside when the weather is nice. Dog sitting at the dogs home causes the dogs less anxiety and keeps them comfortable while they miss their family. I love when they are comfortable, show all their quirks, and get into their favorite spots. With providing at home sitting, the dogs don’t have to handle the stress of their family being gone and going to a new place, which every dog reactions different too. All the dogs I care for, I’ve seen the benefits of being in their house with them

About: I’m an animal lover at heart and have been helping care for dogs since I was little, at least 20 years and counting! I “dog-sat” throughout middle and high school for friends, family & neighbors. Happy to walk, play, feed, and then some. I’m seeking additional “work” that can also help me - I firmly believe that caring for animals is beneficial for mental and physical health! I’m not only caring for them, the furr friends are taking care of me too! I’m a teacher, off for the summer, and pretty available with the exception of a short vacation here or there. I am happy to coordinate times and schedules with you around your pets needs. I love nature and spend time outside daily; I can walk them around the block, the yard, or play catch! Suggestions welcome of your "norms"

“I am a cat dad and my buddy Atlas is my world and then some. Ashley has helped care for Atlas the past couple of years and there are very few people that Atlas and I trust more than her. She not only covers the basics of food, water, and general comfort, but really goes the next level to spend some true quality time with my buddy. I can count on one hand how many people Atlas will take a nap with, she is one of the few that he will just be so content and comfortable with her around. She is observant and communicates any and all questions she might have to ensure the best possible care, all the while sending pictures to keep me updated on how well he is being treated. I normally have anxiety about leaving my furry kid but with Ashley there is no fears and no worries, just focusing on the trips and awwwing about great pictures being sent. 10/10 your pets should get the chance to meet Ashley.”
