I cannot say enough about Amanda’s exceptional care for my four cats. Over the years, I’ve hired many pet sitters, and she is by far the best I’ve ever had. Her attentiveness and compassion made it so much easier for me to be away, giving me true peace of mind. Not only did she provide outstanding care for my cats, but she also went above and beyond by feeding the stray animals who rely on me for daily meals, as well as keeping my backyard squirrels and birds well-fed. She even collected my mail and kept in regular contact with updates, reassuring words, and adorable photos. Amanda is simply the BEST—reliable, thoughtful, and truly devoted. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!

She was amazing. She was able to even get my two shy dogs out & back in their crates. I got put in the hospital & she came right away. Will definitely use her again.

Matthew did a fantastic job watching our cats. He gave them lots of love and care, and I think our cats like him more than us now. He also was very tidy in our home. I'll definitely seek out Matt's help again next time we need a cat sitter.

We had Brandi watch our two Maine Coon cats while we were in California. These cats are my babies and so I left Brandi 3 pages of instructions on feeding etc. Brandi sent photos of my babies while we were gone and slept at our house. My cats were extremely well cared for in her care. We will definitely use Brandi when we have another trip.

About: I’ve always had animals big or small. I know the feeling of a set schedule. So I’d be so happy to be there for your animals set schedules. I have time in my schedule to hangout with your animals. I can do anything from stopping by to let them out or feed them. Walking and getting exercise would be fun with an animal. My dogs love outside, laying down, playing or going for walks. I can do those for your animals or just hanging inside relaxing and keeping them company.

About: Hi there! My name is Lauren. Our pets are an important part of our family but unfortunately they can’t tagalong with us everywhere we go. Have you found yourself passing up opportunities, turning down offers or just having guilt about leaving them cooped up for too many hours? As a former business owner and having two dogs I understand the struggle. I had endless guilt about not spending enough time with my pups. But, you are in luck because you needn't feel guilt anymore. I have a flexible schedule which allows for you to make last-minute trips, on a whim decisions or just simply having a worry free day away from home. I have grown up with cats and dogs all my life. My pups and I have all gone to training classes so, I have a solid understanding of canine behavior in order to keep everyone safe and sound. I work in the health and wellness industry. My position allows for me to create my own schedule which is conducive to caring for all your beloved ones needs. I am super outdoorsy! So, I am familiar with many of our local parks and walking paths. I am always up for a car ride and to go to the park. Please just let me what you feel comfortable with.

About: I've been around all kinds of animals since I was little. We've had four family dogs, and 3 family cats. I watch 3 dogs and 1 cat regularly whenever my friends and family go on vacation/weekend getaways. I am capable of following meal plans, potty times, walks, and playtime with your animals. I don't have any professional training but I do genuinely care about the well being of your pets and will do my best for both of you. Currently my day to day schedule is pretty wide open. I should be able to help you out with whatever you and your fluffy little friend need. I can easily crate your dog and provide food and water changes. I'll gladly play with your animals and give them full attention I love spending time with pets. I will also clean any litter boxes.

About: Growing up I lived in the country with cows, horses and chickens next door. We always had many cats and dogs because we had the space and they just knew we would take them in if they didn't have a home. I wish I had the space now to have more animals but since I dont, it would be an honor to take care of yours. My experience with animals would be having a cat that needed shots daily for diabetes, a blind dog, dog that had seizures, taking care of friends and family's pets. Some which needed daily medicine or had a lot of energy : ). I ppreciate the trust they have in me to take care of their fur family members. Each pet, like humans, have their own personality.
