“Karley is a wonderful cat sitter! She was reliable, caring, and attentive to my kitty. The photos and updates she sent put my mind at ease that my furry boy was well taken care of while I was gone. I highly recommend Karley.”

Sharon L.

“Ed took such great care of my cat, Whisky! He sent lots of photos and videos of playtime. Whisky even sat in Ed’s lap which was a shocker because he’s not usually a lap cat. Thanks for also making the time for a meet and greet before the drop in! Will definitely be reaching out to Ed the next time I need someone to check in on Whisky.”

About: I've housesat overnight for friends away on monthlong trips and family away for multiple weeks caring for their dogs, cats, fish and other pets lovingly since my 20s. For special medical needs of elderly animals, I have experience administering medications and extra fluids. I am a pet-owner of a guinea pig currently and have helped a dog-owning brother with dog walks as a new father. I talk to pets in a calm and endearing way and amplify my appreciation for them as loveable beings while respecting their needs in home life and outdoor recreation (if allowed outdoors). I check in and communicate as any issues arise. A neighbor's dog was recently in the care of the wrong person while away on a trip and I helped to identify the issue with close by neighbors/caregivers and helped advocate for a transition in care. I have genuine concern for pets whose owners are away and compassion for the stress they undergo. I had a recent change in employment status and while applying for jobs most days I have some extra time to help out, especially in afternoons before the dinner hour. My two children need after school pick-ups and activities are minimal until early evening time. Weekends have more flexibility and tend to be when people go away. Fridays are not preferred but may have flexibility depending on the part of the month. I will provide care for pets in their homes and yards/around the neighborhood, especially during after school hours when my 10yo daughter is with me. She has always wanted a dog of her own and loves cats. This is great practice for when we can have one. We have a great rapport with pets when allowed to give treats for good behavior, doing tricks, and after running around time. I love going on walks and having the companionship of a dog, would enjoy attending to and assisting with pets' meal prep/schedules and playtime, especially when fresh air and sun is concerned! Playtime in designated areas is essential for pet attention when alone for a long part of the day. Respect for the home and building trust with the animal is key.

“Amy was warm, communicative, and helped us feel safe while we were out of the country on a 9-day trip. Amy consistently provided status updates and made great efforts in connecting with our cat. Amy’s understanding of cat behavior/needs were evident and we will definitely be reaching out to Amy for our next trip!”

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! I grew up with two Shih Tzus, and in college, I adopted my own cat while also helping my roommates care for their dogs. My cat even made the move across the country with me to California, where he lived a wonderful, love-filled life. I’ve also had the joy of caring for a Husky, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels! I genuinely love spending time with animals, whether that means taking a long walk, playing together, or just keeping them company. I’m also no stranger to bath time, brushing, and the occasional explosion of fur that comes with a fluffy dog! I know how much pets mean to their families, and my goal is to make sure every animal in my care feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I work full-time with a hybrid schedule, which gives me flexibility to provide attentive, loving pet care! I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, making those days especially convenient for walks, playtime, and keeping your pets company throughout the day. I’m primarily available for house sitting and dog walking on select extended weekends, when I have more flexibility to devote my time and attention to your furry family members. I love staying active and getting outside, so incorporating walks and playtime into my routine is something I genuinely enjoy! My availability varies by week, but I’m happy to coordinate in advance to make sure your pet gets the care and attention they deserve. I know that trusting someone with your pet and your home is a big decision, and I take that responsibility seriously! Having been a pet parent myself, I understand how important it is to know your furry family member is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I do my best to maintain each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I’m attentive to each animal’s personality and comfort level, whether they love staying active or prefer a little extra relaxation and companionship. I’m also happy to provide regular photo updates and check-ins so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in good hands. My goal is to make the experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible for both you and your pet!

About: With over 30 years of experience, I provide personalized care that prioritizes your pet’s comfort and happiness. What sets me apart is my focus on behavioral consistency and specialized attention for different life stages. I have extensive experience in puppy training support, using positive reinforcement to maintain your training goals, as well as providing gentle senior care for older pets who prefer a slower pace and extra companionship. Whether it’s high-energy playtime or calming cuddles, I tailor every visit to match your pet's unique personality and energy levels. My background as a professional photographer makes me a uniquely patient and observant pet sitter, as I am already trained to anticipate subtle body language and capture a pet's truest personality. I bring that same artistic eye and calm focus to my pet care, ensuring your "best friend" stays engaged and comfortable in their familiar routine. Because my 2026 photography schedule is flexible, I am now fully open for pet sitting and can offer the reliable, high-quality care your pets deserve. As a special bonus, you won't just get a safe and happy pet—you will also receive beautiful, high-quality "souvenir" photos of their daily adventures while you are away. In 2026, creating a safe and trustworthy environment for your pet is my highest priority. Whether I am caring for them in my home or yours, I begin every engagement with a thorough meet-and-greet to align on routines and tour the property for potential safety hazards. In your home, I strictly follow all security protocols, including locking gates, managing alarm codes, and ensuring hazardous items like cleaning supplies or loose cables are inaccessible. To build lasting trust, I maintain transparent communication by providing real-time updates and professional-quality photo check-ins throughout the day. My approach is designed to preserve your pet's familiar routine, reducing their stress while ensuring your home remains secure and respected in your absence.

“Rylee was very attentive and loving to our sweet Mollie girl! They instantly bonded with one another and she got Mollie to eat dinner and breakfast while we were away! (Those are major wins hahah)”

I work from home on my own flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care, walks, and drop-in visits throughout the day. I’m able to be reliable, attentive, and flexible to your pet’s routine and needs. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home, and I treat both with the same care and respect I would my own.

“Michelle was just great, showed up on time and sent pictures and messages when she was at the house. She was extra helpful and communicative. Came home to a happy cat. Thanks Michelle!”

“This was our first time having Marie stay with our cats. My boy cat is very shy and challenging and she had so much patience. She put so much effort into trying to reassure him. They have a somewhat complex feeding schedule and she managed it perfectly. She sent me frequent updates which made me more comfortable. First time leaving them in a long time so I was nervous.”

Kathleen S.

“Jessenya was such a great sitter for our kitty! She did thorough and long check ins and gave us great updates. I would definitely recommend her!”

Mackenzie C.

“We cannot recommend Sharon enough as she is diligent, dependable, kind, and has a wonderful way with animals. Our cat was very well cared for and we would not hesitate to book Sharon again for whenever we travel.”

Greg J.

“Kristianna did an amazing job watching my two house cats. They were rescues and very shy. She managed to coax one of them out to the bed to hang out with her. Incredible! Kristianna communicated updates with photos daily and responded right away to any questions. She made a lovely environment for our cats. We will definitely ask her to sit for us again!”

About: I have a deep love for animals and have since I was a baby. I have fostered dogs and cats, interned at an animal hospital, done charity work for animal organizations and nonprofits. I have cared for all ages and all animals. I was raised on a ranch where we always had to care for the animals! I also work with (marine) animals on my part time job. I have a part time job on Saturday and Sunday which leaves me with a lot of time to care for your animals and give them all the love they need! I have fostered, pet sitted, and interned at an animal hospital. Animals are a part of our family and they love us so much I would love to give that love to your sweet pets while your away.

About: As a proud dog mom and nurse, I bring a loving, attentive, and responsible approach to pet care. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, including energetic puppies and senior pets needing extra patience and attention. I treat every pet like my own, providing personalized care, plenty of affection, and peace of mind while you’re away! As a stay-at-home wife, I’m home throughout the day and able to give your pets plenty of attention, love, and care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to provide walks, playtime, companionship, and consistent care while keeping your pet’s routine as normal as possible! I provide plenty of attention, companionship, and personalized care in a comfortable, loving environment. In my home, pets can enjoy access to a dog park right in my apartment complex for walks, playtime, and exercise. In your home, I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and provide the same loving, attentive care they’re used to. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved!

About: With over five years of hands-on experience as a veterinary technician, caring for animals is a passion. I’ve worked extensively with anxious, fearful, and/or reactive dogs and cats. I’m confident reading body language, building trust, and creating a calm, low-stress environment where animals feel safe. My schedule is fairly open and flexible while I navigate a career shift and going back to school. I do not typically leave dogs alone, but if applicable, I prefer dogs to be kennel trained. I do have a large kennel in-house that can be used. I’m well-versed in basic dog training (ie. puppy crate training, basic obedience) and am a confident, educated handler. I prioritize positive reinforcement and enriching activities - I always want dogs feel secure. I also have resources for trainer referrals if need. My medical background means your pet is in knowledgeable hands. I’m comfortable administering medications — including injections for dogs and cats — monitoring for health changes and supporting pets with special medical or behavioral needs. PLEASE have your dog up to date on core vaccines: Bordetella, Rabies, DHP (distemper/parvo) - with medical exceptions. PLEASE have your dog on a flea/tick medication prescribed by your vet. It is important! Please feel free to ask me questions if you need help :)

“Crystal continues to do great work with our doggie crew! She does great work and can handle tricky situations!! So glad we found her for all of our trips.”
