1. Mary Kay G.


“Mary Kay was wonderful with our two dogs and cat! We had to head out of town last minute and I felt so comfortable leaving our babies in her hands for a few days. Our animals are usually with us almost 24/7 and not used to us leaving and she took time to give them all love and potty breaks. She checked in with loads of adorable photos which helped put my mind at ease. Thank you, Mary Kay!”

“Ashton was amazing with my cat! I was a little nervous leaving, but she made the whole experience completely stress-free. She sent regular updates, and I could tell my cat was happy and well cared for. My cat is usually scared and shy with strangers but with Ashton, he was playful and looked very comfortable. It’s obvious Ashton genuinely loves animals and takes the time to make them feel comfortable. I’ll definitely be reaching out to Ashton again next time I need a sitter”

About: I've been around pets my entire life; my family has always had cats and dogs in our home. I love caring for animals, as pet care is something I've always been exposed to. Having grown up in a household with animals, I've familiarized myself with general pet-related care to ensure animals are both relaxed and taken care of. I have some rescue experience, and am always looking to create a safe, comfortable environment for any pet I encounter. I have a very flexible schedule and am more than capable of curating and sticking to a schedule that is reflective of your needs. I'm also more than open to working early mornings or late nights! I've preformed dog-sitting and cat-sitting duties in the past successfully, and am very comfortable around new pets! I come from a family of animal lovers. I'm extremely grateful to have grown up in such an environment, as my family's love of animals has certainly rubbed off on me! When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and nurturing environment tailored to each pet's unique needs. In my home, I ensure pets have a designated area with cozy bedding, toys, and plenty of space to play and relax. I maintain a clean and pet-friendly space, and follow their regular feeding, walking, and medication schedules. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their routines and surroundings, keeping the pet’s environment familiar to reduce stress. I provide regular updates, keep the home tidy, and make sure the pet feels secure and well-loved throughout the stay. My goal is always to treat every pet as if they were my own.

About: I’m currently a student and working from from home and love dogs to my core. I have a 5 year old toy poodle named Mason. He’s so sweet & playful and he’s always looking for another puppy to play with. I have had experience with dogs my entire life, but in college I decided to get one of my own and I have no regrets yet! I will make sure your pet receives endless love and affection, long walks, loads of fun and trips to the dog park to mix and mingle. Safety of your pet is my priority so there’s no need to worry while they’re under my watch. I understand how stressful it can be to find someone you trust with your baby, so I will be sure to keep you updated throughout our day. I enjoy taking photos of my dog and nature so expect pictures updates as well. I am super flexible so for whatever you need, don’t hesitate to ask! I can’t wait to meet you and your pet! I’m available for daily walks, drop in visits and boarding. I work from home so I have the time and flexibility to care for your pet and give them the attention they need throughout the day. I am very respectful of your space and your dog and their’s. Making sure only do what I am advised to and anything outside of that I’d check with the owner prior.

About: I am a patient individual and I pay attention to the little details. I've lived with cats all my life and love to spend time with animals! I work full time M-F 8am-4:30pm so I am free on weekends and evenings! I can do overnight pet care and leave in the morning for work around 7am. I play with the cats at my house, check on their litter, and spend time petting and loving on the animals so they feel attended to.
