“Danielle took such good care of my kitty! Generally my cat is quite shy and scared of people, but Danielle worked her magic! Showed a lot of love while I was gone and went above and beyond!! I would definitely recommend leaving your furry loved ones with her and will be reaching out to her again the future!”



“Nina and Leo were very kind and attentive to our cats and gave us a detailed update during every visit. It felt great to have them check in on our cats while we were gone!”


“Hannah was fabulous! My usually very shy cat children took a liking to her right away, which is the first for them! She provided constant updates and pictures while I was away, which I appreciated. Would absolutely have her take care of my kitties again :)”


“Alexis is our go-to cat sitter - she takes such great care of our cats and is always so communicative! We left the cats for almost two weeks (the longest we’ve ever left them) and I was worried about how they’d do…but with constant care and attention from Alexis, they were totally content!”


“Michele was great at taking care of my older cat. She communicated very well, made sure he was fed properly, and took care of everything else that was needed. I would definitely try to book Michele again!”


“Lina was wonderful watching my cat Yuki while I was gone. Very responsive, friendly, sent updates each day and paid careful attention and asked questions when anything seemed out of the ordinary (my living room light). She even brought in a package for me. I came home to a happy cat and a clean house. I will definitely hope to use Lina again in the future.”


“Sam was an amazing cat sitter for my two kitties (1-year old brothers)! One of the cats needed a pill every day & Sam was totally great with that too. Sam is super responsible and really nice and also takes fantastic cat photos to look at while you’re away :)”


“Cat whisperer! Kellie has great communication, a solid understanding about animals and a genuine interest in caring for them, is responsive, punctual, and overall amazing. She has a wonderful rapport with our kitty - it's so sweet and heartwarming to see them play and interact with one another. We feel in good hands when we're away knowing she's well taken care of and it's a relief to know we can rely on her. We came back to a tidy house, so Kellie went above and beyond in our eyes. :)”


“Ian is amazing! I feel so lucky to have found him and that he was available over Memorial Day weekend. He dropped in 2x a day to hang out with my kitty Butternut. Ian was great in keeping Butternut engaged and cared for. He sent pictures and videos everyday which were adorable. 5 stars all around!”


“I’ve already worked with Steph before and this visit was the same as usual: happy kittens with lots of love and attention. Steph always gives me peace of mind when I travel 😸”


About: I have been caring for dogs and cats since I was a child, with more professional sitting services beginning in 2015. I have been able to alleviate the stress of traveling and leaving behind cherished fur babies, which is such a great feeling. Why stress them out if you can have reliable and loving care in home. I work a job that is semi flexible, allowing for me to travel to your home when needed. I work remotely once or twice a week and I’m happy to stay in your home to care for your babies. I’m the type of person that will want to know how you care for your pet. I want to care for your pet as similarly to as possible, without interrupting, usual routines. I’m very flexible about schedules.

About: Hello, my name is Mira and I am graduate student studying Sports Performance Psychology. I am a retired athlete that still lives an active lifestyle and I would love to play with your dogs! Caring for dogs is really fun and is a stress reliever for me! I understand that caring for dogs is a big responsibility and I am up for the challenge! I used to have a dog at my parents home that I used to care for regularly which gives me experience while caring for your furry friends! I have experience with raising puppies as well. I am very excited about this opportunity, and hope you will choose me to care for your pups!! I use dog walking as a fun activity and 2nd source of income. I’m a basketball coach and graduate student. I’m mostly available early mornings and afternoons. I check the app frequently for walks, drop in visits, and overnight stay. I treat them as if they’re my own. I also try not to disrupt their daily routine so I abide by the parents rules closely.

About: I’ve shared life with animals for 23 years—starting with my cat Chiquita (14 wonderful years), a rescued lab-beagle Hooke, and two rambunctious pups: Tiger (adopted 4 years ago) and Lou (3 years ago). Tiger lives confidently with epilepsy, so I’m well-versed in seizure monitoring, timed oral meds, and sub-cutaneous injections when needed. Right now my own dogs are staying abroad with my husband, so caring for your pets fills that furry void. With this hands-on medical experience, I’m equally comfortable looking after seniors, puppies, and other special-needs companions. Your dog receives one-family-at-a-time attention, calm positive-reinforcement handling, and daily photo updates. Standard neighborhood walks and yard play are included; beach days, trail hikes, or extended runs can be arranged for an additional fee to cover travel and time. I work locally but not on a strict 9-to-5 clock, so pets start their day with a 7 AM walk and breakfast, get a mid-day potty break (between 12-2 PM), and enjoy a long evening adventure after 5 PM. Weekends are wide open for beach runs, parks, or lazy couch snuggles. Boarding stays include one family movie night—dogs pick the film!—and lights-out around 10 PM. I never book more animals than I can give individual attention. Your pet’s wellbeing is my top priority. I host one family at a time in a clean, smoke-free house with a fully fenced yard, so dogs (and adventurous cats!) can sniff around outdoors under my watch whenever the weather’s nice. Inside, open space, and plants are pet-safe. For outings, I’m fully kitted out—seat-belt harnesses, water packs, etc. I ask for current vaccines before booking to keep everyone healthy. You’ll get time-stamped photos and quick replies throughout your pet’s stay, so you’re never left wondering how your best friend is doing.

About: I’ve taken care of friends dogs for many years I used to work with a German Shepard for a year. After that I have taken care of and walked another dog that I still sometimes take care of to this day! I am a full time student at CSM! Besides my school I have the time and willingness to take care of your pets any day. Unfortunately will not be able to take care of pets in my home due to restrictions. But I will make sure to be respectful and courteous while in a clients home!

I would love to help out with any of your dog walking or pet sitting needs!! I am a hugeeee animal lover & I have tons of experience with animals!

I live a very active lifestyle and am happy to take your pets on long walks/hikes or just help out with feeding & socializing them while your family is away and traveling! Your pets will be getting tons of love and will be in great hands with me:) I have a very large yard but it is all fenced in and totally safe! I have 3 roomates that are all huge animal lovers and we would love to love on your pets!!
