“Channing is fantastic! She is caring, attentive, and always sends daily pictures of my kittens. I know they are safe and well taken care of when she visits. I would highly recommend Channing and I will definitely have her sit for me again.”



“Jennifer is amazing! Our babies were very happy, she loved them up for us while we were gone & took great care of them. Would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone needing someone & will surely wish to have her take care of our babies again. To note, this was very last minute as our plans changed & she provided us comfort before & during our absence knowing they were being loved up & well taken care of. Thanks Jennifer”


“Shari took excellent care of my two kitties when I had a last minute trip to take. She was on time and sent adorable photos during her visits. The ex-feral even came out to meet her which says a lot about her great kitty energy. I felt confident that they were safe in her care. It's clear she loves animals. Will be asking for Shari's help in the future!”

About: I’ve had pets most of my life, and my heart belongs to my two doodles—Phoebe, a 50lb labradoodle, and Faith, a 15lb mini goldendoodle. I understand the needs of both large and small dogs, including exercise, routine, and affection.

“Theresa took great care of our not-very-friendly cat. She visited him for a week we were out of town and kept in touch with us daily with notes and pictures. She soon found his favorite toy and won him over by the second day. Our cat (name OP) is not a great traveler, so he got a break from long rides in a car and we didn't have to worry about him having an "accident" in the car or wandering off when we had to stop. We intend to book her again.”

“We could not have been happier with Dana’s drop ins! We went on a trip and it was going to be the longest we had been away in a while so we were a little anxious about leaving our two cats . Dana sent pictures and an update every time she stopped by which was great. Our cats loved her and will definitely be in contact when we go out of town again .

About: I have had both cats and dogs My entire life. After 16 AMAZING years with my dogs Axel and Lugnut, I have found myself with an empty nest. I'm not quite ready to adopt another yet, it is just too soon. However, I would love to hang out with your dog (or dogs!). I have experience with dogs both big and small, young and old, and my sweet girl who just passed was deaf, so I have experience with special needs. I have successfully fostered high risk dogs helping them find their perfect forever home. 🐾 I am a stay at home caretaker for my father-in-law, so I can provide around the clock care for your sweet puppers. I am also quite active, and love to take walks, so your good boy or girl will think they are on vacation! I have an unfenced yard, and I live within a 3 minute walk to a large park. My neighborhood is quiet and is sheltered from busy streets. I would love to have your dog come visit!

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all shapes and sizes since I can remember, growing up with dogs, and caring for pets of family friends of mine. I currently am only working part time until the end of June so I will have plenty of time to interact with pets. Weekends I am free as well if house sitting or more frequent visits are needed. I am not able to care for dogs in my own home however at a clients home I will always be attentive to their needs and wants, as well as making sure I have eyes on them when outdoors and in the house. Ideally providing a loving and safe environment while client is gone.

Family and friends have trusted me to care of their pets and now I’m just branching out to make more furry friends. I am currently an online student for Interior Design. I have finished this semester early, and wanted a part time job to fill in some time! Due to having experience in the Interior Design world I am extremely respectful of my clients homes, as well as their animals. Stepping into a clients home is strictly business.
