“Amanda takes such great care of my elderly cat. She gives him his meds including his insulin shots, fresh water food and cleans the litter. I never have to worry and get to keep my cat home which is best for him”
“We highly recommend Amanda. She is easy to work with, responsible, and very pleasant. She did a wonderful job watching our cat, sent pictures and was always on time. We plan to use her for all of our pet sitting needs”
“Michaela was extremely responsive and professional in her communication with us during our trip, and went the extra mile to make sure our cat Lola was comfortable and well cared for. We know both we and Lola appreciated her drop-in visits!”
“Top reviews for Alyssa! My 2 1/2 year old British Shorthair cat is very timid, but as each day passed she got more comfortable with Alyssa. I was away for a week and the notes and pics each day was so helpful. Alyssa is a kind, soft spoken, respectful and a trustworthy pet sitter who I highly recommend.”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life including dogs, cats, birds, fish, and rodents. I have also watched dogs for friends and family. I stop to pet every dog I come across out in the world, with the owner’s permission of course. I’m always looking to make friends with animals. My dog passed away at 17 in November 2024, so I would love to fill some time with more animals until I’m ready to adopt again. I’m currently self-employed and working part time, so I have plenty of time to walk and play with your furbabies! My schedule is pretty flexible, especially for the rest of this year. Outside of your home I can take your pup to a local dog park, or take them for nice walks on some local trails, or even around your neighborhood.
“Lisa’s fantastic! She was open to caring for my kitten on Christmas Day even w/ his ringworm!!! She knows so much about different varieties of pets and how to work around challenges that most sitters wouldn’t be willing to work with. If Lisa’s available and I need someone to check on my kitto, I’d definitely be willing to hire her again!!!”
About: I have had 3 dogs and 1 cat in my lifetime. Three english bulldogs and that beautiful brown cat in the photos. Unfortunately they have all passed on and my current living situation does not allow pets. The best way to puppy and kitty fever is by spending some time with others! Since I was in high school, I have been asked by multiple neighbors to watch their pets while they’re away. I always take dogs on daily walks or play with them outside in the yard to make sure they are getting their energy out. My favorite part is having pets curl up next to me, that’s how I know I have done my job. I am a college student home for the summer looking to hangout with some furry friends! I have years of experience in both housesitting and dog walking. I have a fenced yard at my house for safe play. I do prefer to keep the pet at the owners house so they feel most comfortable.
About: I have had pets my entire life and could never live without them. I have three dogs and three cats and would love the opportunity to take care of your babies the way you wish you could while you are away. My schedule is extremely flexible and I would love to further discuss together what works best for you and your fur babies needs sometime soon. I visit your home and take care of your pets in the environment that they know and are most comfortable. I will also do neighborhood walks, dog parks, and vet visits depending on arrangements.
About: I am a proud mother of three grown children as well as an elementary school teacher. I am innately nurturing and have considered my own pets, as well as those pets I have cared for as if they were family. I am also a homeowner and understand the importance of caring for both. As a teacher, my schedule provides more flexibility. I have a part time summer job in the mornings Mondays through Fridays, which allows me to care for your pets full time on the weekends, as well as Mondays through Friday from 1:00 pm. During the school year I am also available most weekends. I believe it's important for pets to maintain their normal daily routine, and will work on gaining an in-depth understanding of their schedules, needs, and habits before the scheduled pet sitting dates. Most importantly, your pet(s) is/are my focus while I am pet sitting.
“Heather was really great at accepting my last minute request. She did very well with communicating with me and sending pictures of her time with my kitties. Will definitely use her again!”

“I’ve never met someone who loves ALL animals (but) especially dogs 🐶🐾 so much!
