“Andrea was great with Hubble! She's very communicative, punctual, and did a great job with Hubble's anxiety. We will definitely rebook with her.”


“Rachel was wonderful! She stayed with our 3 cats for 4 days and they were all very happy to have her. She was prompt when messaging and shared photos of the cats throughout her stay. We have a few special needs kitties, one of which is very shy. Our shy kitty doesn't warm up very quickly to strangers and even she took to Rachel within the first 24 hours. Her warmth and care made all the difference for them. We'll definitely have Rachel back the next time we need someone to stay. Thank you so so much!”


About: I’ve cared for families pets (dogs and cats), whenever needed. This includes walks, over night stays, baths, feeding, medication distribution and potty breaks. I’m a recent kitten-mom, so I’m well-versed in this area. I’m a work from home employee (Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.), so I’d love to spend time with your pet(s) during and after these hours. I enjoy going for long walks after work as well, so why do it alone! I follow all rules set by the client and will pick up all messes throughout my visit (from their pet). If their pet has a certain amount of times needed to be let out (at certain times), I follow that plan. This goes for all other orders!

“Michelle went above and beyond with her care of Paisley and with staying at my house. She gave me daily updates which made my trip away enjoyable knowing that Paisley was well taken care of and happy.”


“Larissa went above and beyond our expectations. She was extremely professional, responsible and mostly provided quality, compassionate care to our baby Colden. Weimaraners can be a challenging breed but Larissa was up for the task. We had no worries while we were away as she kept us up to date on their activities. Highly recommend!”


“Emily was excellent with our two cats. She stopped by twice before our trip to meet our cats and go over their needs. She stayed overnight with them for two nights, giving them plenty of attention and being very communicative about the cats receiving their medication, including sharing photos. Emily was great, and we highly recommend her; we plan to hire her again for our next trip.”


“Jenna and Aiden were absolutely a dream! My dogs were well cared for. We came home to happy healthy dogs and a house in better shape than when we left. They absolutely went above and beyond. They gave us updates on the dogs with pictures. We will be using them again!”



“Natasha was awesome! We did a meet up beforehand and she asked a lot of questions and wanted to know about my dog Tazzy. I felt very comfortable with her staying for the weekend and I couldn't every tell she was there when I got back. She took great care of Taz and sent me pics and updates throughout the weekend. Highly recommend and will book with her again!!!”



“Thank you so much, Linda, for showing so much love for my kitty and baby, Roo! Linda offered consistent and compassionate updates about how Roo was doing and sent many pictures. I feel fully confident to leave Roo in Linda’s care and will absolutely continue to book with her.”


“Ozzy charmed our dogs, and our dogs were charmed by Ozzy. They were a bit late, but communicated that they would be. They fed our dogs, gave them their medications, and set the bar pretty high for us, by giving them lots of love and pets while we were away. We look forward to hiring them again, and we highly recommend them.”



“Lauren was very communicative and responsive for our entire vacation. She went above and beyond to make sure Forest had what he needed and even got him out on some nice long walks. She also made sure things around the house were taken care and even took a few additional requests with ease. I would absolutely book again and highly recommend to anyone else who needs loyal and proper care for their furry friends.”


“I was so anxious to leave my senior dog with someone but Amanda did AMAZING. She communicated with me flawlessly and followed the care directions I gave her perfectly. She was very respectful of our home and left it just how it was when she arrived. I highly recommend”


“Alyssa took good care of my dog upon a short notice while I was away, and sent photos regularly. The house was also spotless. She also coordinated dog food delivery since the food was out!”


“Shantalee was great! We reached out at the last minute and she was very understanding. She took great care of our 3 dogs and was very communicative. She kept them happy and comfortable. We will definitely be booking her again!”


About: I've been a lifelong cat companion and caregiver, having raised and nurtured them since I was young. Over time, I've also bonded with my cousins' and friends' dogs, learning their unique needs and quirks while helping with everything from daily care to playtime. Whether it's a playful pup or a curious cat, I genuinely enjoy keeping tails wagging and whiskers happy. Since I currently work remotely, my schedule is wide open for pet sitting and dog walking— whether it’s a midday stroll or an overnight cuddle session. With a little heads-up, I’m happy to help with house sitting, too. Caring for animals isn’t just a part of my day — it’s something I truly look forward to. In my home, I’m the go-to comfort zone for my two cats — they always come to me for cuddles, calm, and of course, their meals. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I create that same sense of safety and familiarity. My friends’ dogs naturally stick close to me, whether we’re relaxing or out for a walk, because I make sure they feel secure, heard, and happy. Whether it’s your place or mine, I treat every pet like family — with patience, gentleness, and attention to their unique needs.


“Evelyn was fantastic with my senior dog, and pup that can be lazy and have spurts of energy. Additionally, she was great with our cats, giving very detailed updates throughout the trip. I really appreciated the level of care, the attention to details, and the extra mile she went to ensure a smooth trip for not only her but myself. Incredibly grateful to have found her!”


“Wow, Christina was an amazing sitter! She was at our homestead for a week and watched our puppy and backyard ducks. She went above and beyond dealing with a few things that came up: water bowl freezing, an important FedEx package that got delayed, and our dog pouncing on a garden mole! We got 3 daily updates each day like clockwork and came back to a spotless house and very happy animals! We’re so glad we found Christina and she’ll definitely be our go-to whenever we need someone!”


“Toni was very responsive and trustworthy with photo updates. Always help put you at ease with being away. Reliable caretaker for overnight care.”


“Felt very comfortable with Kyla. Good level of communication.”


“LAUREN WAS truly a 5 star. She gave Tess all the love that she needed and after 1 day Tess was warmed up and enjoying her time with Lauren. She did 100% everything that we discussed and planned out. Walks,Meds, play time and sent updates and photos every day and at night as well. Very responsible and my house was as neat and clean as when we left it. This was a 4 night /5 day stay in my home.”
