Rich did a wonderful job taking care of our special needs cat. Bop has a neurological disorder and requires a lot of extra care and accommodations. This was our first time leaving him so I was extremely nervous. But Rich followed our many instructions to the letter, provided excellent communication and photos, and most importantly, gave him lots of love. It was such a weight off our minds knowing he was in good hands! We will definitely use Rich in the future.

Stephanie was so quick to respond to my messages and was very flexible with my schedule. I work in healthcare so my hours are odd and she quickly agreed to take care of my pups when I needed her. My dogs looked really happy and it gave me peace of mind to know that they were being well taken care of and having fun.

Kimberly has sat for us before and we are always thoroughly pleased with her services. She's attentive and caring toward our pets, and keeps us updated with photos and news. She always leaves our home looking better than she found it, which isn't expected, but is a pleasant surprise! With three dogs, exotic pets, and particularly a separation-anxious "pandemic puppy," we feel like we have finally regained our ability to travel knowing that our animals are in such caring and capable hands.

About: I am an active, fun, and reliable caretaker for every pet! I have experience with young and old, big and small, dogs and cats. I'm happy to accommodate feeding, playtime, walks, and any other specific requirements your pet may need! Plenty of summer availability! I work a flexible schedule: available to check on cats and dogs throughout the day, board pets in my home, or stay with your pet as needed. My home has a spacious backyard with a park very nearby. Dogs are kept on a leash, but provided with plenty of outdoor time and walks to the riverwalk. I have an older cat who is friendly with all dogs.

About: Bilingual and able to communicate with families in Spanish, as well. Neighbors and friends have trusted me to care for their pets/homes for almost 7 years. They often say we're (my fiance and I) the only ones they trust to care for their pets. I have experience with senior pets and worked at a rescue previously. Excited to be going full time pet sitting/walking in 2026! I'm very reliable, flexible and am available last minute, 7 days a week and on holidays. I take extra care to keep pets happy, safe and comfortable. I follow instructions given and use caution when necessary to prevent any escapes. I do not do boarding in my home.

I left my 1 year old puppy Mack with Rebecca for a week. I was very nervous to leave him with someone I didn’t know personally. Rebecca was absolutely wonderful!! She sent daily pictures of him. She walked him and played with him and made him happy, as I could tell by the pictures. My house was clean and she was very attentive, that helped settle all of my concerns.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I have been 8 years old. I have had dogs all of my life and am experienced with puppies and elderly dogs as well. I would love to play, walk, or even just provide companionship for your dog. I work full time but I am currently available part time Tuesday through Thursday to care for your pet. PMs are better for me but I can be flexible as well. My dogs are crate trained but only while I am away from home. They walk well on leashesand also have a nice fenced in area to play in my yard. I am comfortable caring for your pet to your preference and your pet's preference.
