“Our family was looking for a cat sitter while we were away on vacation. It was just the weekend prior to our leaving and I still hadn’t found anyone. Fortunately Lisbeth responded to my request and I’m so happy she did!! She took great care in getting to know them, caring for them and communicating with me. I know they all felt comfortable around her. She provided peace of mind and it’s often hard to find. Thank you Lisbeth! We will see you again in August lol”

“Brianna is the best! She was super responsive from the moment of inquiry to setting up a meet and greet and throughout the entire experience. I felt confident and comfortable being hundreds of miles away that my babes were well taken care of, even with their little quirks. Brianna will be the first I call when I need someone to care for them!”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, and I take great pride on how my babies are treated they are part of the family and while your pets are in my care they’ll be part of mine for a little while so you can have fun and feel relaxed knowing your pet is having a great time just like you!

It helps a lot of the furry babies feel comfortable knowing I know all the silly details that can be a big deal for them.

About: Hi! I have always been around animals, for example caring for my own dogs and my family’s dogs!

About: I have a Dalmatian (my cancer survivor!) and my French Bulldog!

I have my own form of transportation. Iphone with portable charger. My schedule is flexible and i also work on holidays!

About: I've been taking care of animals since I was 5 yrs old, owning cats, dogs, birds, fish, a python, guinea pig, and a blue poison dart frog. I went to ranch camp in Nebraska to ride and take care of horses. For sitting, I've looked after dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, lizards, and rabbits. I've worked overnight at a kennel for a year which included walking dogs, playing with cats, feeding, and cleaning up: blood, vomit, urine, and stool. I worked at a Veterinary hospital for 8 years. I am NOT a Vet, but I am comfortable with medicating pets, post surgery care, seniors and pets with disabilities. I've saved field mice, chipmunks, squirrels, raccoons, salamanders, and bees. During the spring and summer, I house and nourish caterpillars until they turn into butterflies. Then they are released into the wild. I am available during the week, weekends, and holidays, and would be more than happy to accommodate your schedule. Occasionally, I have my own appointments or family events, but will work with you to avoid any scheduling conflicts. I believe that trust, love, compassion, transparency and common sense are all required in animal care. Both you and your fur baby should be comfortable and trust your sitter. If time allows, I prefer meet and greets to ensure a proper fit. If a pet isn't comfortable with a sitter while their parents are around, they most likely won't be comfortable while their parents are away. I believe it is important to acknowledge and understand your pet's body language and needs. A pet is not just an animal, it's your family, and should be treated as such with care and respect. I will comply with your feeding/relief/medication schedule, because it's important to keep your baby on their own routine to avoid confusion, stress, and bowel issues. I currently have a male senior cat who enjoys being an only child, so I am unable to care for other pets at my house, but am happy to take care of your munchkins in your own beautiful home.
“Shilletha did a wonderful job taking care of my puppy, Ruby! She kept me well-informed with timely updates and plenty of photos, even during one of the worst weather weeks of the winter. I’m so grateful she was available and would absolutely book with her again.”

About: You can call me Dani 🐾 I have a pretty wide resume working with animals of all sizes, ages, temperament, and breeds. This includes 6+ years experience in handling aggessive, energetic, senior and adolescent dogs in a boarding/training setting as a dog behaviour care technician. Simultaneously I've worked as a vet tech for 8+ years total. I'm a part time biology student studying animal behavior while also pursuing a certification in dog training. My passion to work with animals and animal lovers has been consistent my entire life, and giving the proper care to pets and pet parents has always been a number one priority to me. PS. I am more than willing to negotiate pricing, especially for bundled walks or repeat clients. None of my rates are set in stone! Feel free to reach out to discuss. I have a very sweet and social 15lb Maltipoo at home and 4 incredibly friendly and social cats, along with a western hognose snake and a beardie. Currently I am a full time surgery technician at my animal hospital. My work schedule is very flexible most days, the latest I am home is 7pm if not by late afternoon. Otherwise in my free time I do tend to hike often, so I'm more than happy to bring your K9 family members along too. I am able to board dogs under 20lbs that are dog/cat friendly! However in your home I want to ensure your fur babies have exactly the same routine as if you were home with them.

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and needs — from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra attention. I’m comfortable with small and large breeds, as well as dogs who may need medication, special care, or extra patience. I rescued my first dog, Lola, a pitbull, in 2017. She was an amazing dog, and as she got older and developed health issues, I learned a lot about caring for senior dogs and pets with extra needs. In 2021, I rescued my second dog, Shadow, a German Shepherd/pitbull mix. He’s currently 9 years old but still has the energy of a puppy — though he’ll never turn down a cuddle. I currently work 3 days a week, 10am-11:30pm, so I wouldn’t be available to work on those days. The days I work changes each week, so please message me for updates on my schedule that week! I would be completely available any day I’m not working my full time job. Please reach out with any questions! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always do my best to keep them comfortable by sticking to their normal routine. I will follow feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications, and bedtime routines exactly as instructed. I understand that being away from their owners can be stressful for some pets, so I make sure they get plenty of attention, patience, and affection while keeping their environment clean and safe.

About: I bring a rare blend of structured accountability, diverse hands-on experience, and an intuitive connection with animals of all shapes and sizes. What truly sets me apart: Deep, Lifelong Experience: I have loved and cared for pets across the entire spectrum—from being a former Golden Retriever owner to adopting an elderly Tuxedo cat. Whether handling large, enthusiastic breeds or patient senior companions, I understand their unique needs. Active, Versatile Care: As an experienced dog walker, my current routine includes regularly walking a high-energy Cockapoo. I am proudly Pitbull-friendly. The Magic Touch: As a former Licensed Massage Therapist, I have the magic touch - "Tails will be-a-waggin'!" Rescue-Level Empathy: Having successfully rehabilitated my own skittish street-rescue cat, I'm good at reading subtle body language and building trust with nervous or reactive animals at their own pace. I guarantee total respect for your home security, strict adherence to your routines, and exceptional communication while you are away! Pet care is a central part of my daily routine. I am fully available from 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM just about every day of the week for scheduled bookings. This wide window allows me to seamlessly adapt to your pet's established schedule, ensuring they get their meals, walks, and potty breaks exactly when they expect them. Because I manage my calendar carefully with a 3-day advance notice window, I am able to guarantee that when your pet is on my schedule, they receive my completely dedicated, active companionship and attentive care exactly when they need it most. My approach to pet care is rooted in deep empathy, household security, and strict adherence to an animal's natural comfort zones. • Home Security & Integrity: I treat your home with the utmost respect. This means strict double-checking of door locks, ensuring gates are securely latched during backyard play, and maintaining a calm, hazard-free environment indoors. • Routine Consistency: I follow your instructions to the letter. Whether it's morning feedings, dedicated mid-evening playtime, or ensuring the litter box is perfectly clean before bed, consistency is how I keep your pets feeling safe and secure. • Patience with Sensitive Pets: I bring a calm, grounded energy to your home. I know when to give a pet their space and when to offer affection, ensuring they always feel secure and never pressured. If your pet needs extra time to adjust to a new face, I bring a calm, patient presence that allows them to approach me whenever they feel completely comfortable.
About: I am a full-time pet sitter who is reliable, detail-oriented, and funny. I have been providing professional pet care services for dogs and cats for the past 12 years. I am available for both short-notice and regularly scheduled walks. Should you require overnight visits, I am also available to provide care for your pet in your home. Our pet care relationship begins with a phone call or e-mail to discuss your pet's needs. After that, we will have a consultation to meet and further discuss the particulars of your pet's needs and my visits with your pet. You can rest assured that your pet is well cared for because after each visit I will leave a note detailing how your pet was during the visit. For overnight visits, I will e-mail or text the details of the visit to you. I look forward to speaking with you and caring for your pet! I am a full time pet sitter so I am always available to give your pets the one on one love and attention they deserve. I have been providing overnight care for pets for twelve years. When pets are kept in their home environment they’re much more comfortable than in a boarding facility.
“Alexander was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Ranger. He was attentive, responsive, and genuinely caring. I could tell Ranger was in great hands the entire time. Alexander followed all of my instructions carefully and handled small changes to the plan with ease and flexibility. I felt completely at ease knowing Ranger was being so well cared for. I’d highly recommend Alexander.”

“Samantha was so great with my cat, Oliver. He needs medication twice a day and she handled that with no issue. She also was very communicative with updates. Will definitely use her again in the future!”

We highly recommend Stefanie to anyone looking for exceptional care! 🐾💛
