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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
