“We love Krystal!! She’s been caring for my cat fur babies for quite a while now. I can leave and feel confident my babies will be taken good care of. She goes above and beyond. She loves all animals and it shows! Book with her. You won’t regret it!!”


About: I’ve cared for pets of all kinds since I was young and grew up surrounded by animals—dogs, cats, and even smaller pets like rabbits and hamsters. I’ve also had my own cat, who I’ve looked after for years. From walking and feeding to playtime, administering medication, and providing lots of love, I’m confident with pets of all ages and temperaments. I’m in college from 8 AM to 12:30 PM on weekdays, but I’m available for walks, drop-ins, or sitting any time outside of those hours. I can stay overnight on Fridays and Saturdays during the school year, and I’m fully available all week during the summer. I treat every pet like family, following routines closely to keep them comfortable. I’m respectful in others’ homes, and I make sure pets feel safe, secure, and loved. I’m reliable with feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide.

“Awesome experience! I was busy on a trip so I didn’t have much time to communicate with Nik during the visits and he still sent very detailed check-in notes and made sure my girl was happy and healthy while I was out of town! I definitely recommend and will for sure use Nik for all future out of town visits!”


“Whitney was such a huge help for my wife and I. We had a last minute trip over the holidays, and we never had to worry at all about having Whitney watch over our cats. We usually can’t go for more than a day from home without worrying about our pets, so it was really nice not having any fears with being away. She’s very communicative and always sends lots of pictures. Our cats loved her, and we’ll definitely be checking for her again the next time we need to go out of town.”


“Danny and Dubai were absolutly amaazing. My one cat doesnt like strangers and she warmed up to them after just one visit. They were very professional. A+++++++++ 27/10 stars.”


“Elizabeth is a very kind and flexible person and loves what she does! It's never easy leaving my babies with a stranger I've spoken to once or twice but Elizabeth made me very comforted and reassured that my babies would be in the very best hands. My kitties were happy and healthy when I came home. (And she's really good at taking pictures)”


“Kieran was the best! He took great care of my cats. Giselle loved him from day one and Giuseppe even eventually decided Kieran wasn’t so scary after all and came out of hiding. All the updates were detailed and he called if anything was out of the ordinary to get clarification or further instructions. I’m extremely happy with the services he provided.”



About: I've owned dogs for many years from rescued to puppies. Currently own 3 corgis but my all time favorite is german shepards. Ive had as many as 5 dogs at one time. My favorite saying is by Immanuel Kant " We can judge heart of a man by his treatment of animals" firm believer in this. Also have a few other sayings as well. Some of my best friends never say a word to me. They bring pleasure by just being there not saying anything. I also have 3 cats and a husband. My favorite saying at work is that I live in a zoo. But I wouldn't want it any other way. I always believe that every kid should have an animal to care for.

“I hired Mary for a drop in visit. She fed and let both of my Shih-tzu’s out while we were traveling. Mary did a fantastic job - followed all instructions and let everything as she found it. I will definitely be using her again!”

About: I have taken care of animals of all shapes and sizes. I have helped several cats through the birthing process and have been able to provide life saving care to young fosters. I believe in animal conservation and being a voice for those that don't have one. I am reliable and trustworthy and will love your pet just as much as you do. I am available to care for your pets full time. I have a guest room for overnight stays and I live in an apartment that has ample walking space. I also know of several wonderful parks that your pets would absolutely love. Boarding with Crate Trained Dogs: I offers a safe and comfortable environment for dogs and cats that are crate trained. Crate trained dogs are accustomed to spending time in their crates, which provides them with a secure and familiar space when they are not directly supervised by the pet sitter. House Sitting: In addition to providing boarding services, I also offer house sitting. This entails staying at the pet owner's home while they are away, ensuring the safety and security of both the pets and the property. House sitting offers the benefit of maintaining a consistent environment for the dogs, reducing stress and anxiety. Requirements: Crate Training Verification: I will require verification that the dogs they board are crate trained. This is to ensure the safety and well-being of the dogs during their stay, as crate trained dogs are less likely to engage in destructive behavior and are more comfortable in unfamiliar settings. Vaccination Records: Before accepting any dogs for boarding or house sitting, I will request up-to-date vaccination records to confirm that the dogs are properly immunized. This requirement helps prevent the spread of contagious diseases and ensures the health of all animals involved. Meet and Greet: Prior to the scheduled boarding or house sitting period, I will conduct a meet and greet session with the dogs and their owners. This meeting allows me to get acquainted with the dogs, learn about their routines, and discuss any specific care instructions or special needs. Emergency Contact Information: I will request emergency contact information for the pet owners, including the contact details of a trusted veterinarian. This ensures that I can quickly reach out in case of any unforeseen medical situations. Feeding and Medication Instructions: I will require detailed instructions regarding the dogs' feeding schedules, dietary restrictions, and any necessary medications. Following these instructions accurately is crucial for the dogs' health and well-being during their stay. Emergency Plan: A comprehensive emergency plan will be established in case of unexpected situations, such as a natural disaster, power outage, or health emergency. This plan will outline the steps I will take to ensure the safety of the dogs and the property. Pet Owner's Consent: The pet owner will be required to sign a contract or agreement that outlines the services to be provided, the dates of boarding or house sitting, and any other terms and conditions. This contract will protect both the pet sitter and the pet owner and ensure that everyone is on the same page regarding expectations. By offering boarding services for crate trained dogs and providing house sitting, the I create a comfortable and secure environment for pets while ensuring peace of mind for their owners during their time away. The requirements and procedures in place help maintain a smooth and enjoyable experience for all parties involved. I work from home so I can take care of your pup from anywhere whether it's at your place or mine we are sure to have a great time. I have a designated guest room for boarding and am happy to accommodate your furry friend however they need. Please let me know of any special needs or requests.

About: Dogs are truly humans best friends and should be treated as such. I can't wait to learn your fur babies love language and have fun! I am a hairstylist 4 days out of the week but I can set my own schedule so I am flexible to suit your needs. I have a fenced backyard. I also have a extra bedroom that has a full view of the chickens and duck for entertainment if they need any alone time.

About: I’m a reliable and trustworthy person. I’ve had cats all my life so I know how to take care of them. I wish I could have a dog of my own so helping others with their dogs is the next best thing. All instructions given to me will be read and followed thoroughly. My schedule is pretty flexible after 1 so I could come in anytime after that to help. I could also stay the night and take care of your dog on weekends. I could also help you with any house work you need help with. I don’t currently have a job but I am in school, so half my time will be devoted to helping you and your furry friend and the other half will go towards my education. I live near a dog park and would be able to take your dog there for walks and enjoy the fresh air. I think I would be a great pet sitter for you and your pet.

About: I have taken care of dogs all of my life, and have been watching them professionally for about 5 years now! As a kid we always had animals, and caring for them was my responsibility. I have plenty of experience under my belt and I truly do love to spend time with pups of all breeds and sizes! I am currently enrolled in college online and work only two short nights a week! Dogsitting works perfectly with my flexible schedule, and I love to incorporate animals into my schedule whenever possible! I have a fenced yard with plenty of room to run and play. Inside the floor plan is very open so there is plenty of room for play and fun! When watching dogs at client homes I let the dog be where he or she is comfortable since it is in fact their home (of course following any guidelines and or instructions left). I love to engage with the dogs so they don’t feel left out or abandoned while their owner is away!

One of our pups is a senior who requires daily medication and is a picky eater. One of our dogs is blind and needs extra patience and care. She handled everything with compassion and confidence, giving us peace of mind while we were away. On top of taking excellent care of the dogs, she also watered our plants, brought in the mail, and took out the trash—little things that made a big difference in keeping our home running smoothly. We truly appreciated her reliability and the genuine care she showed our pets and home. Highly recommend!”
