We booked Kristine for the second time to feed and play with our two kitties while away on vacation. She did a wonderful job and we were so happy to get pictures and updates from her visits every day. If you need a cat sitter, we highly recommend working with Kristine!

About: During the 20 years of experience I have gained as a pet sitter, I have become someone who goes above and beyond what an average sitter will do. I adhere to specific guidelines set by the owner so that their pet receives the exact type of care they are requesting. I have experience with senior animals as well. I have administered prescription medications as needed and I am very timely. To choose me is to choose the "best of the best" in what you'll be looking for in a animal care provider! I am a dedicated pet sitter. I have open availability and I am very accommodating. Being able to provide these types of services for pet owners has become a passion of mine since my youth. I will be able to commit to my bookings and provide top tier animal care services to all who choose to request me. The animals I have cared for are always within my view. I follow the pet owners specific instructions for care so that they have peace of mind knowing their pet is cared for. I do my best to ensure that the pets have minimal disruption to their daily routine.

About: I have taken care of Senior dogs, high energy dogs, oral medicine administration, training experience and have done Puppy care. Practice leash walking if I see it's needed. I'm currently volunteering part time at the Animal Shelter and walk dogs part time. My schedule is pretty flexible and can help out whenever needed. I provide a warm, loving, calm and peaceful environment in my home. There are no pets living in my home which is helpful for pets whenever they come in my home. Creates a comfortable and stress-free atmosphere for them.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and caring for them has always been second nature to me. I grew up with a family dog and have experience with daily responsibilities such as feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and loved. I currently care for my cat as well as two lizards and two turtles, so I’m comfortable managing different types of pets and their unique needs. I also helped care for my aunt’s Chihuahua for several months, walking and feeding him twice a day and making sure he was happy and comfortable. Being around animals has always been a big part of my life, and I treat every pet with the same attention and care I give my own. My schedule is currently open on Fridays and Saturdays. I am generally available starting around 11 AM and prefer midday visits, but I’m happy to stay flexible and can keep my afternoons open later if needed to accommodate your pet’s schedule. For safety and comfort, I currently provide care in clients’ homes rather than boarding pets in my own home. I believe pets feel most relaxed in their familiar environment, so I focus on maintaining their usual routine with feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely and prioritize keeping pets safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: Because I’m currently on sabbatical, I’m home much more than the average sitter. This allows me to offer consistent companionship, careful supervision, and plenty of one-on-one time. I’m especially skilled at providing a calm, low-stress environment where pets can feel comfortable, safe, and genuinely loved. I’m also very attentive to routines. I take cues from each pet’s personality, energy level, and comfort, and I’m excellent at reading subtle body language—something I’ve learned from years of fostering and caring for more sensitive or shy cats. I use positive, gentle reinforcement and always prioritize your pet’s emotional well-being. Additionally, I’m a great communicator. I provide regular photo updates, respond quickly throughout the day, and make sure you always feel at ease while you’re away. My goal isn’t just to “watch” your pet—it’s to create a nurturing, cozy, and safe experience that feels like a second home. I’m currently on sabbatical after completing 10 years with my company, which means I have a wonderfully flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet my full attention. Caring for animals is something that genuinely brings me joy, so it fits naturally into my daily rhythm. I love starting my mornings with a peaceful walk through the large park near my apartment, and I often take a second mid-day walk to stay active. If your pet loves exploring or needs extra exercise, they’re more than welcome to join me! I also have a car, so I’m able to transport pets safely if they need to visit a vet, try a different park, or simply enjoy a change of scenery. Because I’m home most of the day, I’m able to provide consistent companionship, playtime, and supervision. I’m intentional about creating a calm, cozy environment and making sure each pet feels included in my everyday routine. I provide a warm, calm, and nurturing home where pets can feel safe and loved. I live in a cozy 1-bedroom apartment with a pet-friendly setup—cats are welcome on all furniture, and I have scratchers, toys, and comfy lounging spots throughout the space. My balcony is fully netted for safety, and I’m only a short walk from a large park, which is perfect for fresh air and enrichment. I currently have one sweet 11-year-old cat who is gentle and used to having other animals around. I’ve cared for her since she was 3 months old, and I also have experience fostering animals—including caring for kittens as young as 4 weeks old—so I’m very comfortable with cats of all ages and personalities. My care style is very warm and hands-on: lots of snuggles, couch time, play sessions, and following the routines that make your pet feel at home. I’m attentive to their body language and habits and always prioritize their comfort and emotional well-being. Safety is a top priority. I keep doors secure, monitor interactions carefully, and have an apartment camera that allows me to check in on pets if I step out briefly. I maintain a clean, clutter-free environment and am mindful about introductions and transitions. For trust and communication, I send regular photo and video updates so you always know your pet is happy and relaxed. I’m very responsive throughout the day—my only downtime is between 10pm–7am, but otherwise you can expect quick replies. My goal is to create a loving, stable, and safe home where your pet feels truly cared for. If you have any specific routines, accommodations, or preferences, I’m more than happy to follow them closely.

Karen is the absolute best pet sitter. She has taken care of our two cats for a few years off and on -including a time we were away a few months. She is always reliable and always trustworthy. She goes above and beyond to help me feel at ease while we’re away. Both of my cats love her and are so happy to see her. I highly recommend Karen. We are lucky to have found her.

About: I originally started work at a dog daycare and transitioned to pet-care in 2023. I have two cats of my own; Lizzy and Thomas. Upon request, I can absolutely water plants and check mail if you need the extra help. I will jog with your dog! I'm able to do over-night stays and drop-ins. On my spare time, I enjoy exercising and cooking. My favorite things to make are chili and chocolate chip cookies! I lock doors and if I’m pet sitting, I take direct instructions from the owner. If I’m dog sitting- I always have double the amount of poop bags. My cell phone is always with me.

About: I have experience caring for cats for multiple families and understand the importance of keeping pets comfortable while their owners are away. My responsibilities have included feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, and providing companionship. I am attentive to each pet’s routine and personality, whether they are social and playful or prefer a quieter environment. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and detail-oriented, and I enjoy sending updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are well cared for. i’m currently a college student that is available in the morning or at night !! I am free all day on most weekends as well! i know how to respect the boundaries of animals and still remain assertive. I do give them a lot of attention because I know that’s what they need!! I always make sure they have food and water as well!

About: I have been around pets all my life I love to go on long walks, I believe that pets are our companions and should therefore be cared and treated as such. Going the extra mile for them means the world for me considering they are always there for us during both our highest and lowest moments in life. I am available daily for walks during the morning and afternoon. Being active is apart of my lifestyle and incorporating it by walking pets makes it even more enjoyable. I will keep an eye on all pets assigned to me which will not be a problem since I love playing with pets, and keeping them active. I will especially keep a close eye on puppies and kittens as I know from personal experience that they are very curious and need constant care.
