She’s very attentive and has asked all the right questions to make sure she’s giving the dogs the right care. Her visit went seamlessly and she provided a very detailed recap of it. So glad to have a great pet sitter in our neighborhood!”

About: Please note that the option in my profile says 41-100 pound dogs. I can’t accept dogs over 50 pounds. I cannot watch Pit Bulls, German Shepherds, Rottweilers, Dobermans, or Chow Chows. I have had dogs and other animals since a small child. I raised several Cavalier King Charles Spaniels in my home and helped deliver 3 litters from my females. After losing my last CKCS I needed some puppy/dog interaction and Rover seemed like a perfect fit. My Cavalier was on several medications with a strict schedule, so I am comfortable following and administering multiple medications. My boy Brady was an angel and I am not getting another dog at this time. I want to fill some time with other dogs that I can pamper, love and care for. I keep a clean, smoke free, and drug free home, only my husband and I live there. I will only watch your pet and no others, if you have multiple dogs I can watch them as a pair. I am doing this for fun and the true love of dogs, not a career I will give your pet the utmost care, love, and respect. I am fortunate that I can take a dog to my office and I work less than 1 mile from my home. My schedule is flexible, so I have lots of time for dogs and I allow dogs on furniture and in my car. I am the only person in my office. I have a courtyard I can walk your pet in to go for a quick potty break or I walk them on my sidewalk streets in my neighborhood. I have a large crate to keep your pet comfortable if your dog needs to be crate-kept and if you desire. I will not use the crate unless advised by the pet owner.

About: For me, building community comes first. The animals in our care are more than just “pets”: they’re part of the family. They often heal and teach us so much. To have the opportunity to connect with each animal friend is a true pleasure for me. We all need a little extra help sometimes, and I’m honored to be able to offer some of that help when you need it. The help I’m able to offer includes: Dog Walking Drop-in Visits Sittings I am a teaching artist by trade, and offering these services facilitates the flexibility I need while also providing a service that brings me joy. Animals communicate in subtle and sometimes not so subtle ways. When in my care I make sure to pay attention to their cues and keep to their routines.

“Brittany was an amazing sitter for my two cats while I was away for a week. Her communication was great, she was consistent in the times she came over to feed them and give them some love, and kept the space very clean. One of my cats requires meds and the other had some anxiety issues, and she handled both without issue. Definitely recommend! :D”

Atlas was absolutely amazing! They sent many updates on our boys and were incredibly detailed with their drop-in visit notes. Our older kitty can be very finicky taking his pills and Atlas was very patient and tried a few different methods to ensure he got his meds. We highly recommend Atlas for any of your pet-sitting needs!

Maya is amazing! She is very communicative and was even able to snap some pictures the few times my shy kitties came out of hiding which was very much appreciated. I was pretty nervous about leaving my cats for a whole week but I immediately felt like they were in good hands with Maya which allowed me to stop worrying and enjoy my vacation! Would absolutely recommend Maya to anyone in need of a pet sitter 💕

Can hardly say enough about Charlie. He provided service on very short notice. He was super thorough on our meet ‘n greet, making some additional suggestions to ensure that every scenario was accounted for. And gave me a very detailed account on every visit. Another customer observed that Charlie is a cat whisperer. And he is. Love how much he loves and understands cats. Thanks again!
