“She was very kind and patient with us, even though we are not fluent in English. Everything went smoothly from the meet-and-greet to the key handover. Although it was only for two days, our cat seemed to warm up to her quickly. We really appreciated her care!”
“Completely impressed! Leora made me feel comfortable about leaving my skittish cats in her care and followed my care instructions to the letter. Leora sent me pictures daily and let know how they were doing. I would recommend her to all she will not disappoint.”
“This is our second time having Emily take care of our cat. She does a great job of getting to know him and his habits. We will definitely use her services again!!!”
“María is wonderful!!! Clementine loves her so much, that once Maria arrives our cat jumps on her chest and cuddles with her! We are so lucky to have Maria to help us out with Clem we we are out of town!”
“Nicole is a kind and lovely person. She was able to come early in the morning as requested. She was a thorough communicator and she even cleaned up a couple of messes! She was meeting my cats for the first time and tried hard to connect. I will definitely use her services again.”
“This was the second time Jeanne visited Muriel while we were out of town for a few days. I can tell when I come home that Muriel was given attention, fed and played with by her calm, fairly unphased demeanor. Jeanne is very prompt with communication, and I feel grateful that I found someone so caring and loving to look after Muriel!”
“Sarah was great! She sent me multiple pictures of my kitties at every visit. Great communicator. She kept the cat areas very tidy. My cats were played with at every visit. We will definitely ask her back when we need a cat sitter.”
“Hi Kayla, Thanks for caring for Pumpkin this week. We appreciate your prompt response and willingness to sit with her. She hasn't stopped talking about it, except when she's sleepy of course. Please feel free to drop the key off at your convenience. Steve and Jill”
About: 🐾 I’ve been caring for dogs since I was young, and it’s been a lifelong passion. Over the years, I’ve looked after pups of all sizes—from a tiny 8 lb dachshund to strong, lovable 100 lb pitbull mix. My experience includes everything from energetic puppies to slow-moving seniors, each with their own needs and personalities. I currently live with two spayed female dogs who are well-socialized and have peacefully cohabitated with several foster dogs since last year. I regularly volunteer with Border Tails Rescue, providing a safe, nurturing home for dogs in transition. Through fostering, I’ve gained deep experience with behavior observation, gentle training, and helping anxious or shy dogs feel secure. I’ve managed feeding routines, administered medications, and supported dogs through recovery and adjustment periods. I’m especially mindful of canine body language and group dynamics, and I only accept dogs who are friendly with others to maintain a safe, peaceful environment. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do—it’s something I truly love. I treat every pup with patience, respect, and the kind of attention I’d want for my own. 🐶 When dog sitting, I am home all day so your pup will have lots of attention. On the rare occasion I do leave the house, it's never for more than 4 hours at a time. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I share my home with two friendly, playful dogs—Miley, a 50 lb mixed breed, and a 75 lb American Bully—who are well-socialized and enjoy respectful canine company. My securely fenced yard provides space for supervised outdoor play, and my middle school children, who are also well-versed in watching and caring for dogs, help ensure everyone feels safe and supported. I only accept dogs who are known to be dog-friendly to maintain a positive, secure environment for all.
“Gabrielle was wonderful. We have two cats and they’re not the ‘usual’ and come with a few higher demands. While it might be a work in progress… as we’d expect… it all seemed to go smoothly with one warming up nicely. The other has to ‘think about it’ for a while LOL. She kept the house (she house + cat sit), cats and peripherals in order with no complaints at all. She was here quite a lot with the cats so we absolutely appreciate that. Already have her signed up for another venture!”
“Tina was amazing and went the extra mile for my fur-babies! She even took pictures and shared them with us after each visit. I could tell how much they liked her and enjoyed the visits while we were away. We will definitely use Tina again!”
About: For multiple years I've taken care of various pets, including both cats and dogs. I've done dog walking as well as visiting throughout the day to change food/water. I love animals and will show that love through how I care for them. I do not have a full time job, and have a very flexible schedule right now. I can easily adjust my routine to accomodate pet care. I can't currently have pets in my home, but I've cared for pets multiple times in their own homes, and provide quality and loving care.

Joanna L.
“Joanna fostered the puppy- Maeve- that we adopted in June. Joanna was able to tell us all about Maeve’s temperament with other dogs and children. Joanna was friendly and easy to talk to. When we adopted Maeve, she was mostly housebroken, thanks to Joanna! Since we had been able to talk to Joanna about Maeve beforehand, adopting her was a very smooth transition! Joanna also gave us her cell phone number so that we could continue to ask her any questions about Maeve after adoption. We had a great experience adopting Maeve and working with Joanna as her foster mom. Joanna would be a great pet sitter!”
