“Emily is the best pet sitter! She gave thorough report cards of her drop-in visits and the cutest pic updates of our two kitties. I can tell she truly loves pets and treated ours like she would her own. Will definitely hire her for any future pet sitting needs.”
About: I have cared for animals ever since I can remember. I am a huge animal lover so I had/have a lot of different pets: Cats, dogs, a ferret, hamsters, lizards, and fish! I am going into junior year for college as a double major in Biology and Animal Ecology. I was involved in an animal training class for two semester where I helped/observed dog training. I was a Kennel Attendant for 3 months at an Animal Hospital, have interned there for 2 Summers, and am working as a veterinary assistant this Summer! I am working part time as a Veterinary Assistant Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. I am volunteering at a Parrot pet store in the mornings on Wednesdays and Fridays. I’m available after 12 pm on Wednesdays and Fridays along with anytime on most Saturdays and Sundays! I am available for feeding, walking, and giving your pet lots of attention (if they seem ok with it)! And I will make sure to fulfill all of your pets needs.
“Liz is amazing! We have a very anxious, crazy dog, and he can be tough to get used to. Liz immediately made us feel at ease working with Todd and made sure he had a friend while we were gone. Liz’s communication is also great - she keeps us updated throughout every visit and ensures we are aware of everything that happens with Todd. We have booked Liz many times before, and we will continue to!”
“Wendy and William were fantastic with our crazy pups. The communication was fantastic and they even helped bring in packages that car while we were gone 😊”
“Gabrielle is incredible! She takes great care of our 10 year old lab, leaves details notes and is great with communication. She is definitely our go to dog sitter!”
“Our Dog took to Scott almost instantaneously! Which is very unusual as he is typically very timid and shy at first. Scott did a great job following instructions and had a great walk with little Carl! I would highly recommend Scott and we definitely will be using him again in the future!”
“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.”
About: I am a person that loves all animals. Some pet parents will leave a small list of the schedule I need to follow. Whenever I come to hang with the cuties I’m always snapping pics and sending them to the pet parents. Just so everyone knows they are in good hands. Whatever it is that y’all need me to do I make sure to get the job done. Sometimes when I babysit if the parents need me to let the dogs out and feed them then I do it. So cats/dogs will get fed and taken out, we will play ball and have a load of fun. I promise I don’t bite and am very easy to talk to. If anyone ever has any questions feel free to ask!
“We were out for a few days, and Kayla stopped by three times to take care of our dog. She attended to all our requests and more, very friendly and easy to work with. She kept us updated throughout the process. I highly recommend Kayla to all my friends who need a pet sitter or just drop-ins.”
“Christina did an awesome job with Bella. She was on time, spent quality time with our dog and went above and beyond. We would definitely hire Christina again.”
“Leora always does such a wonderful job with our cats! This is our second long vacation during which she took amazing care of our cats. Even our extremely timid son must have felt so comfortable that he came out of his hiding place only the second day and asked Leora for pets/cuddles. I miss my cats dearly when I’m away, but Leora always sends helpful updates (and great photos of them) that put me at ease.”
“Charlotte did a phenomenal job with my kitty, Kira. She was well looked after while I was away for a few days. She had no problem fulfilling my requests for how to feed and care for her. Highly recommend”
About: Hi there! ☺️ With over 10 years of experience caring for animals - both in-home and at professional facilities - I’ve pretty much seen it all (and loved every second of it)! I currently work at a luxury pet resort, where I’m lucky enough to pamper pups (and their human parents), and keep all kinds of furry friends happy and healthy. 🐾 I’ve also worked at a horse stable and have hands-on experience with senior dogs, cats, birds and even fish. I grew up with a lovable Maltese and stray cat, so I know just how important it is to treat every pet like family. Whether your fur baby needs cuddles, playtime, or just someone to keep them company, I’ve got things covered! 🐶🐠🐱🐴🐢 I work full-time at a luxury pet resort, but I’m available for pet care during early mornings, evenings, and weekends, with a flexible schedule to accommodate whatever you and your furry-friend's needs are! ☺️ My biggest priority is to make both you and your fur baby feel safe and well-cared for. This includes fostering an environment around your pet that is happy, calm and full of fun! With my many years of experience, you can always count on me to advocate for you and your pet's greatest needs!
“Nicole did an incredible job! We were gone for two weeks in Italy and she gave us peace of mind that our two kitties were in great hands. She was attentive and communicative. We came home to two happy cats :) If you want to have someone of good character watch your precious little ones, Nicole should be your choice!”

Karina is an amazing person. She made a point of visiting my cat beforehand, who is blind, to understand his needs. On our first meeting, my cat felt comfortable and rested his head on her, asking for affection… people's energy doesn't lie. Karina followed all the instructions and sent me photos and videos every day. If you are looking for someone trustworthy and loving, Karina needs to be your choice. I will definitely hire her again!
Alexandra did a wonderful job taking care of our cats while we were out of town. She was reliable, communicative, and made sure they were well cared for throughout our trip. We appreciated the updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind knowing our pets were in good hands. We came home to happy, relaxed cats and everything exactly as we left it. We would gladly book with Alexandra again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter. 🐾 Thank you, Alexandra! 😊
Luciana was fantastic! She came by on short notice to get acquainted with my two cats and my home before I had to leave unexpectedly for an emergency trip. Throughout my time away, she kept me updated on how my pets were doing and regularly sent photos, which gave me great peace of mind. Overall, I’m extremely happy with her care and professionalism, and I highly recommend her services.

Sarah was wonderful with all of my pets. She had her hands full and handled it like a Champ! I was very comfortable with Sarah and would recommend her highly! She is amazing and I couldn’t be more appreciative! She gets 100 stars in my book! Very atttentive and loving! Thank you for taking care of all 6 of the animals while we were gone! Well worth it!
Wendy is wonderful! When I forgot to give my other pet sitter a key to the front door’s bottom lock, she was a huge help in making sure the issue got sorted. Even though I told her she could leave after feeding and scooping litter for my very shy cat, Wendy would still stay and listen to music for the full half-hour visit so Tawny wouldn’t feel as alone. So professional and so nice! Highly recommend her.
Sandy always takes such wonderful care of my Cora as if she was her own kitty. While I never like leaving Cora behind when I travel for work, I know she’s in great care with Sandy. She’s trustworthy, kind, and an all-around lovely person. I also highly value the peace of mind knowing Sandy is an experienced vet tech if anything were to ever happen. She’s the best!
