Sarah was an absolute godsend! We booked her last minute after our regular pet-sitter had to cancel, and she went above and beyond! The mission: medicate our orange cat twice daily. The challenge: she has one brain cell, and it is devoted entirely to avoiding people she doesn't know. Sarah met the challenge admirably, leaving incredibly informative and entertaining notes and detailing the trials and tribulations of medicating a 12 pound anxiety-machine who wants nothing less than to take her medicine. Despite the sure difficulty, Sarah managed to get her medicated twice a day every day. Finding someone reliable and trustworthy to medicate Toni has always been a struggle in the past, but I'm so glad we connected with Sarah, because it one thing we won't have to worry about in the future!

Kelli was exactly what we are looking for! She followed all of our instructions and made some helpful suggestions that improved the life of our cat without being imposing. She even brought some new litter when we ran out! And she was able to provide insulin injections with very minor instruction. I will continue to trust her with the life and well being of our cat.

About: I've looked after animals since I was a kid. I love cats and dogs alike and would look after them for loved ones and neighbors. I have a flexible schedule right now. I am currently looking for a more stable job but I have lots of experience working with animals and I know how to handle them with respect and safety. I like to visit the dogs in there own homes and take them for walks. I let to dog tell me what they need usually depending on energy levels. If they have a lot of energy I'll take them out longer or if they don't want to move I would take them as long as it took for them to relieve themselves and then I will engage them in play.

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 16. Friends and family trust me to walk, feed and take care of their dogs. I am comfortable taking dogs for long walks around the neighborhood or to the dog park, and I have stayed in home as a pet sitter. My family has a dog and I am involved in her care and play time on a daily basis. I have a very flexible schedule and have lots of time for your pup. I am available for late morning and afternoon walks and playtime. I have an energetic 60 pound dog. I am used to walking a strong dog and can easily handle a dog that may pull. I am happy to walk your dog in your neighborhood and/or play in your yard. I will work with whatever routine your dog is accustomed to.

I couldn’t have been more thankful for the service Bailee provided. She is a very caring individual and you can tell she has a love for animals. I felt relaxed and comfortable while being away from my fur baby. As this was the first trip I have been able to take I will be definitely rebooking with Bailee in the future! She was an amazing provider and very informative! Followed all directions perfectly!

Melissa sought to go beyond in caring for my cat. She even returned one day to check on his food and water when I was worried it might be low. She played with him and his toys and sent me pictures that he was doing well. I will be asking for her help again!

Carole is a thorough and thoughtful sitter! She treats our lovely, but admittedly feisty, cat with plenty of patience and compassion. She’s flexible with great problem-solving skills, and her reports are consistent and detailed. We’ve used her twice for 10+ day trips and wouldn’t hesitate to request her services again!

Julia did a great job of taking care of my dog Louis. My house and the yard were in perfect condition when I returned. Julia provided lots of updates and even cleaned up Louis's food and water station. Will be rebooking Julia and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a walker or sitter.

About: An absolute dog lover 💗 !! I’ve cared for my friends’ dogs while they were traveling, usually for one to two weeks at a time, and I’ve also volunteered to walk dogs in my neighborhood. My dream has always been to have a dog of my own, but one of my family members is allergic. I’m currently a student and would love to meet more dogs and help care for your pets when you’re away or busy! I’m currently a student doing remote lab work, so my schedule is usually flexible during both weekdays and weekends, but availability may vary by day. For safety reasons, I prefer to complete all walks before dark, ideally before around 8 pm in the summer. I’m happy to discuss specific times in advance to make sure the schedule works for both of us! I don’t currently offer boarding. For walks, I usually prioritize the dog’s normal route and routine. If the owner is comfortable, I can also walk nearby parks, greenways, or quiet neighborhood areas while keeping safety and the dog’s comfort in mind.

CJ was such a wonderful sitter for my 2 kitties! I was nervous to leave my cats for so long over the holidays, but CJ sent updates and photos everyday that helped ease my anxiety. Even my super shy cat felt comfortable around CJ. I super appreciate CJ’s clear communication, reliability, and clear love of all animals.

Melissa was wonderful with our cats! I've always been hesitant to leave them with someone who hasn't previously experienced them, due to their special food needs and daily meds, but Melissa made them seem like no big deal. We arrived home to two well-cared for cats :) I would absolutely book Melissa again and recommend her to others!

Sara is very attentive and conscientious which makes her trustworthy. She was flexible in scheduling to meet everybody's needs. She took really good care of my cat. I could tell, because when my cat has had a good sitter, she is glad to see me when I get home but not frantic for my attention. Finally, Sara got my cat to play in a way I haven't been able to do (and still can't!) which goes to show that she is a true cat person. (I'm sure she takes good care of dogs, too.) I recommend Sara without hesitation.
