“Octavia was great! My family is so happy to have found her! She took excellent care of our fur and shell babies. She made sure the pets were very well cared for. She also was very professional made sure their kitty boxes, feeding spaces, etc were clean and swept. She showed up on time, communicated extremely well, and provided pictures each time (of all the pets, even the ones hiding!). We was a pleasure to work with and made me feel completely assured that my babies were safe and taken care of while we were gone! We highly recommend her, and will request her again the next time we travel! Thank you so much, Octavia! 🥰🐈⬛🐈🐕🦺🐢❤️”

About: Hi! I work from home and I love spending time with dogs and getting to know their personalities! I have had dogs my whole life ranging from a mini dachshund to a great dane. With my schedule I am able to provide plenty of potty breaks and play time. I have a puppy who loves playing with other dogs and he seems to help make pets feel more comfortable while I'm boarding them! I work from home so I am able to fit in pet care easily! I already have 3 dogs and a big backyard so pet sitting does not change the daily routine much for me. I have a high privacy fence for the backyard to ensure all dogs stay securely in the yard during potty breaks. My home is already puppy proofed for both large and small dogs to accommodate my own pets.

About: I've had over 20 years of pet care experience, ranging between several different dog breeds and sizes, cats, rodents, reptiles, and even some bird-sitting. I understand each pet is different in their own way, some needing certain medications or volumes of food and water, and other pets are easier to take care of, but their owners need someone last minute to help watch and take care of their beloved pets. I also know when it comes to more than one pet in the household, some pets can get rowdy with each other and may tend to hurt one other, so I'm used to cleaning up after and treating the occasional bites or scratches they inflict. Having to give medications, give special food, and even seeing blood or recent wounds on animals doesn't stop me from providing the care they need while their owners are away at work or vacation or whatever else life has thrown their way. I've been known to be a reliable petsitter by many friends and family members over the years, and I make sure to follow all needs and specifications for each pet, regardless of their age and their size. At the moment, I am available all day on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, and then on Mondays and Wednesdays I am attending a class from 9:30 AM to 12:30 AM, which anytime before or afterwards I can help walk or watch over pets. While I do not currently offer petsitting at my own home due to my roommates, I understand that every owner's household and every pet is different. I make sure that each of the doors and windows are closed and locked for the pet's safety, unless otherwise specified by the owners. If there are certain rooms or parts of the house off-limits to myself or the pets, I keep us away from those areas for the owner's privacy. And if the pets do tend to make a mess or I use any of the utilities of the home to help clean and take care of the pets, I make sure that everything is turned off and cleaned up afterwards so there are no messes for the owners when they return to their home and beloved pets.

“Loren cared for my babies while I was at work and let me tell you, she did amazing! She sent me messages and photos of the babes to make sure I was aware of how they were doing. From the meet and greet to every day after she kept me up to date and cared for my boys like her own!!! ❤️ just book her already!!”


About: Hello! I’m Katelyn, the only trusted pet sitter you’ll need. I have always had animals in my life that I love and care for like family. Having pets was a big highlight of my childhood and now I have cats and a dog of my own. I’m experienced with all ages and kinds of pets, even ones with special needs. I’m an active stay at home mom. I have very flexible availability, including last minute needs. Lots of love to give and time for play. I have a large, fully fenced in yard. It’s perfect for playing ball and letting your pup get out energy. I will follow any directions you give for your pet and be sure they are given plenty attention. I will keep you updated with text and videos each visit.

“Rickie took excellent care of our 4 fur babies. She dropped in and cared for each one according to their individual needs. We have senior dogs that require patience and understanding and Rickie took care of then as if they were her own. I highly recommend Rickie and will definitely use her services again!”


About: I’ve had all sorts of dogs from Golden Doodles to English Bulldogs, Yorkies, Shih Tzus, etc. I can handle any size dog. I’ve taken care of older dogs who aren’t able to get around that well. Currently looking for pet sitting at any time. I’m pretty free all day. Trying to do this until I can land a job soon, then continue doing this on the side. I do have a fenced in yard here at my house with a Vizsla named Eli. He’s a really good boy and listens to all my commands.

About: Pets aren’t just animals to me—they’re family, and I care for every tail, paw, and whisker like my own. I’m Lauren, a Star Sitter with a background as a veterinary receptionist, years of professional pet care, and the hands-on experience of training my own service dog. I’m skilled in administering medications (oral and injectable), feeding special diets, and supporting pets with senior or medical needs. Whether it’s overnight stays with plenty of visits throughout the day, drop-ins, or long walks, I keep your pets safe, happy, and stress-free—complete with plenty of updates and photos so you can travel with peace of mind. Pet care is part of my everyday life! I have a well-trained service dog, so I’m already in a steady rhythm of early walks, enrichment activities, and regular care. My schedule is flexible, which means I can plan my day around giving your pets the time, attention, and consistency they need. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is to keep their routine as close to normal as possible. I follow all instructions carefully, keep things familiar and stress-free, and make sure pets always have fresh water, the right meals, and plenty of love. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are safe and happy.

“Dawn did a great job with my 2 cats. I appreciated her attention to detail, and she took the extra effort to help do some cleaning and take my trash out. She was also careful to ask questions and notify me about some of my cat’s behavior. I would definitely book her services again.”


About: Lifelong animal lover and proud cat mom. I have experience with little dogs, big dogs, puppies and kittens, and administering medication. I like to get to know your pet's personality and all their little quirks. I am very detail oriented and like to stay organized. I am currently a full-time graduate speech-language pathology student, so I am only working part-time. Weekends (Fri-Sun) work best for me. I am also available for early mornings or late nights on most weekdays. My main goal is to make your pet feel safe and treat them with love like my own pets. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and any other special needs/requests. Regular updates and photos can be provided to keep you feeling comfortable and connected.

“All I have to say is if you need a pet sitter for you cats or dogs or both and you want peace of mind while gone Mackenzie is who you should book. She was amazing and kept us in formed multiple times throughout the day giving updates and sending pictures. She even administered medicine to two of our cats multiple times a day. She was absolutely phenomenal and we will definitely be using her from now on when we go out of town. We HIGHLY recommended her to care for your fur babies if want someone who would care for them the same way you would !”


“Jarad did a great job taking care of our two cats. We asked for daily drop-ins to feed them and scoop the litterbox. He is very mature, friendly, and reliable. While we didn't ask for daily pictures, he sent one anyway which was kind. We had to ask him to go above cat sitting and to bring in our mail as the USPS was not holding it as we requested. He kindly helped us out with that too. He provided A+ service and care and we are very pleased.”

Heather is my go-to sitter, she is so understanding and so kind, professional and dependable! I finally came home from being away for over a week and I feel like my cat was disappointed it wasn’t Heather coming through the door! My cat has some peculiarities especially when it comes to food, and she does everything 100% right. Thank you!

So so so thankful for Ellie and her help with ensuring our kitten was played with, fed, and loved while my husband and I are TDY! She was attentive, sent lots of photos (which I super appreciated), and was so caring and amazing to our kitten. I would most definitely seek out her help again when the need arises. Thank you Ellie!
