“Caitlin did such an amazing job with 2 cats, one if which can be difficult. Caitlin came daily at the time promised, sent detailed notes on how the visit went as well as adorable pictures of the stay! Definitely a 5 star sitter!”

“Emily did a great job with our spoiled kitties. She ensured they were well cared for and we really enjoyed the daily reports and pictures. Her communication was also great, and we'll definitely use her services again.”
“Elyse did a great job watching our cat while we were gone for a week. She was very organized and communicative, and sent plenty of pictures each day that she stopped by. She also gave Cid plenty of attention and was easy to work with”

“Amanda is such a sweetheart and our puppy Noa loves her so much! She falls asleep in her lap and adores her. We look forward to booking Amanda to care for Noa when we return for work in the fall and I highly recommend Amanda! She's fantastic!”

“Claire made sure both my kitties were cared for and happy. She was even able to find my skittish kitty who likes to hide under the bed. Provided on-time visits and photos to hold me over till I got home. Great experience!”

About: I’ve taken care of my 2 dogs for 12 years along with helping my friends and siblings care for their pets. I love dogs and cats of all ages and breeds and I love to show them the affection and care they deserve. I am currently working part time so I have pretty open availability including all day off on Monday, Wednesday and Sunday. I can provide multi day care if needed or just a walk or visits! I have plenty of experience with all types of dogs with different attitudes and personalities. I know how to effectively and nicely deal with any problems that pop up and I’m always willing to provide whatever care is needed for any dogs.
“Bradlei has been amazing! My dog takes a while to warm up to new people and she’s not only been kind, but patient and understanding to his needs. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to have their fur babies taken care of without having to worry!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and proud Velcro dog mom to two high-energy Goldendoodles, plus a 10-year-old rescue cat I took in after a box of kittens was left at the pet store where I worked. Caring for animals has always been second nature to me. Living with two anxious, very attached doodles has given me hands-on experience with dogs who need structure, reassurance, and enrichment to thrive. I’m comfortable adapting to any personality — from independent cats to sensitive or high-energy pups — and I’m especially skilled at helping anxious dogs feel safe through positive reinforcement, exercise, mental stimulation, and consistency. I’m gentle, highly attentive, and detail-oriented with routines, feeding, medications, and behavioral cues. I believe in building trust with every pet so they feel secure, engaged, and cared for while you’re away. You’ll always receive thoughtful updates and photos, so you can feel completely at ease. Why Choose Me: • Experienced with anxious, high-energy “Velcro” dogs • Skilled in positive reinforcement and enrichment-based care • Patient and adaptable to all temperaments • Comfortable with detailed routines and special instructions • Clear, reliable communication with updates and photos • Respectful of your home and your pet’s established structure Working from home as a business owner allows me to have lots of flexibility in my schedule. I am available to provide care most afternoons and evenings. I treat every home as if it were my own, respecting your space and routines. I prioritize safety by keeping doors secure, monitoring pets closely, and ensuring they’re never in risky situations. My goal is to build trust with every pet, moving at their pace and creating an environment where they feel calm, comfortable, and cared for. Whether it’s play, exercise, or quiet companionship, I focus on maintaining a predictable, stress-free routine that keeps pets happy and secure.
“Christopher did an amazing job in taking care of 3 of our pups while we were out of town. The updates during each visit made us so happy! You could tell the dogs love him, too. Very kind and caring, and I 100% recommend booking with Christopher—we sure plan to again! :)”
“Karley is fantastic! We were at ease knowing she was taking care of our pup. She got there right when we asked, played with him and made sure he had his walk. Karley even sent pictures as she was visiting. You won’t be disappointed having Karley care for your dog while you’re gone!”

“Heather was a phenomenal sitter that sent us cute photos of our little furry friends during a recent vacation. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable & caring pet sitter.”

“Xiaotong was great with my fur babies. She kept me informed of their behaviors and asked what they were like she could see what their normal behavior was. I always worry about them but loved she sent me videos and pictures. Very professional and such a nice person. You can tell she loves kitties.”

“From the first time we met Clarissa we could tell she would be a good match for our cat Lacy. Lacy is shy and comes from a rough background. Clarissa communicated every day (twice) and sent photos showing the progress she was making with Lacy. We will recommend her to our friends and look forward to requesting her again in the future. She our trip worry free!”

“Jennifer holds a special place in our hearts. Her kindness and dedication to our dogs and family have made such a positive impact on our lives. We are truly thankful to have someone as loving and compassionate as her by our side. She is forever part of our family.”

About: I've had the privilege of caring for pets since I was 10 years old. I've helped my parents train (through training classes and at home), walk, feed, bathe and enrich both of our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel pups for the last 15 years. I also had the opportunity to take care of my roommate's two gorgeous cats in college. In October 2023, I rescued my own kitty that I care for night and day. When I’m not lounging with Zilla, I like to spend time with my friends and family, try new restaurants with my boyfriend, exercise, and jam out to music in my car. I've done many overnight stays at friends’ and family members’ homes while pet sitting, and I encourage you to browse my testimonials to learn more about how passionate I am about nurturing animals. I have experience with: - puppies/kittens - adult dogs/cats - dogs of all sizes I also work full-time at a marketing agency focused exclusively on the pet industry, so I've learned an immense amount of information about pet health, pet care, pet safety and breed-specific behaviors/characteristics. My current job is remote 4/5 days a week, so I'm able to be present at your home almost whenever you need. I look forward to becoming your local, trusted pet sitter! As mentioned, my current job is remote 4/5 days a week, so I'm able to be present at your home almost whenever you need. Monday evenings and Tuesday's are the only times I'm usually unavailable. Feel free to message me to discuss my availability as needed - I can be flexible! I'm happy to stay overnight at your home to make your pet(s) feel more comfortable. You know your pet best, so I'll make sure to follow the instructions you give me and make the experience as stress-free as I possibly can for your pet(s). I'll make sure your pet is on a leash/harness whenever I take them outside (unless you have a backyard that is fenced in, of course), and will avoid interactions with other animals during walks if you have a reactive pet.
