“Kaylee is an excellent pet sitter! She took care of our two cats for 12 days while we were away, and we never had to worry about a thing. She keeps you updated and informed of everything going on with your pets, and cares for them like they were her own. You will love having her take care of your pets and your pets will love her too! Our shy cat, who is always under the bed whenever anyone comes over to our house, warmed up to Kaylee incredibly quickly. We will definitely book her again in the future,”


“Elizabeth was fantastic with our dogs! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. We returned from our trip and found our animals were happy and well cared for. Elizabeth went above and beyond and made sure our dogs had comfort during fireworks which typically cause them to have high anxiety. I’ll definitely book with them again!”


“Colleen was absolutely wonderful with my dog this weekend! I reached out on fairly short notice and she was incredibly accommodating with her schedule. She was also very flexible when it came to timing and working around my specific needs. Colleen's communication was excellent throughout. She kept me updated and gave me peace of mind while I was away. It's clear she genuinely cares about the animals she watches. I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again and would definitely recommend her to other pet parents!”


“Hannah was AMAZING! She treated my dogs as if they were her own, even my small chihuahua mix who is scared of everyone and pretends to be a pit Bull. By the end of the second 30 minute visit they were on the same side of the doggy gate spending time together. She took tons of pictures which made us so happy to look at while we were gone. She even included pictures of the dogs food to show they ate and how much! (Our dogs only eat a little when we are gone, so refreshing to see they felt comfortable enough to eat with her). I recommend her a million percent she was extremely professional, easy to deal with, and again loved our dogs as if they were her own!”


About: I have been lucky enough to spend time with dogs of a range of ages, sizes, and personalities, from energetic puppies to sweet senior pups who need a slower pace and a gentle touch. I’m comfortable with a wide range of needs, just let me know! I take time to build trust, especially with shy or anxious dogs, and I always move at their pace. I also pay close attention to behavior and body language, so I can respond quickly if something seem off. But most importantly, I make sure that they're safe and happy, while waiting for their favorite person to come back to them. Caring for the fluffy angels is something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize in my daily life. My schedule is flexible and I can work from home, which means I can dedicate quality time to walks, play, feeding, and companionship without rushing. Whether I'm welcoming pets into my home or caring for them in their own space, I always focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment. I live in a quiet apartment surrounded by forest and green space, with very little car traffic in the neighborhood, which is perfect for peaceful walks and outdoor sniff time. At my place, I maintain a clean and cozy space with plenty of room for your doggie or kitty to lounge, play, or nap. In your home, I'll respect the privacy and cleaness of your space. I will follow your care instructions closely, from feeding routines to medication schedules and favorite toys, because I know how important familiarity and consistency is to their happiness.

“I was worried about leaving my pups with anyone!! But then Chris stops by for my meet and greet and assured my that all would be great. After watching him with my dogs I was happy to finally take a vacation that was well needed.. I arrived home to find my home just a cared for as I left it, happy pups and all. I definitely recommend chris for anyone looking for a attentive and loving Dog sitter/house sitter... THANKS AGAIN CHRIS!”


“AlexMatthew was such a pleasure to work with! He not only cared for my animals, but noticed that someone else had been in my house while I was away. (Just my daughter :)... ❤️ I truly appreciate all he did & will not hesitate to ask for him again!”


“Landry and her husband did a great job taking care of our cat. They did a good job with the basics (food, water, etc) and gave him his medication. I got pictures from each visit when they were playing with him.”


“Coleman is a true gem! Our poodle Coby is very attached to us and usually gets anxious when we leave—even if just one of us steps out. So we were absolutely amazed at how relaxed he was with Coleman. From the moment Coleman arrived, Coby liked him. Coleman clearly has a calm, kind energy that animals pick up on right away. Coby was so content during Coleman’s stay that he didn’t even wake up when we returned home—he stayed fast asleep on his bed! That has never happened before. Coleman is friendly and trustworthy. You'll enjoy having him in your home. We’re so grateful to have found someone we can trust with our beloved pup. Highly, highly recommend Coleman!”


About: Hello! I started pet-sitting seriously in graduate school and had a consistent base of clients for two years. Later, I volunteered at a local humane society where I cared for and interacted with cats and dogs multiple times a week, for three years. This experience taught me a great deal more about dogs, including behaviors, breed traits, and exercise needs. While it's not my profession, animal care-taking has definitely become my passion! I've taken care of cats with very specific feeding programs as well as dogs who have special needs (like my lazy friend Colonel Lafayette the Basset Hound in my pictures). I treat every animal exactly how they want to be treated. Sometimes that is a lot of love and affection, but sometimes there are cats who like their distance! Whatever your animal needs, I'm happy to accommodate them. I commute daily and can easily work in visits in the early morning and late afternoon. Weekends are quite free for longer visits and homestays. It's an honor to have a key to someones home and to be trusted to care for their animals, and I take this very seriously. I am a guest in your home, but in that time your pet is family to me. I always make sure to leave a home neater than I found it, and will double, triple check that all is as it should be before I depart.

“Dawn is reliable, thoughtful and caring. We entrusted her with the care of our cat for 10 days, and everything was perfect. We would ask for her service again without hesitation. I highly recommend her, your pet can'tbe in better hands!”


About: I have always been the animal person in my family, and my community. I’ve always had dogs in my life, but where I’m living I can’t have one of my own, so I’m more than happy to take care of your pets when you need a break! I currently am not working, and I have a farm job starting in June. My availability is very flexible, so more time for hanging out with pups! I can’t bring pets home, but I am very experienced with walking dogs and getting them the exercise they need. I can give your animals lots of love and attention and make sure they are safe and healthy.

“Julia was great! She made everything easy and did exactly what we asked during her visits. She sent us some really sweet photos of our cat Cowpoke, who’s usually shy around strangers but seemed at ease and friendly with her! It was a smooth experience overall. I’d definitely recommend her to other cat owners and would be happy to book with her again!”

Monique J.
“Monique is WONDERFUL! I actually met her at her job, Petland. I was shopping for a new collar and some toys for my boxer mix and I was going on about how I was trying to find someone to watch him for the weekend while I went away on business, and she mentioned that she actually did dog sitting and would love to do it. The next day I met with her and my little Billy got to see her house and meet her dogs, everyone immediately hit it off amd it was set! She sent me LOADS of pictures and videos of Billy having fun with her and her dogs, even ahowing me that she took him to the pool. It really helped reassure me, especially since this is the first time spending the weekend away from him. She really is the greatest and her love for dogs is evident.”

“Emma is a passionate, kind hearted person. When it comes to my pets she is the first person I call when I need a sitter. She is so loving towards her cat Jackson, and loves all animals as her own. When she watched my cat Rose, it was clear they connected quick and Rose loved her! Emma makes sure your pets will be well loved and cared for while she watches them. The pets always connect with her fast and can sense her kind spirit. If you want your pets to be loved and treated with kindness Emma is the person for the job!!”
