“Calie is very sweet and thoughtful. She always goes above and beyond . I've had other cat sitters but not as helpful as she is. I wanted to leave a larger tip but there was a limit. I highly recommend her.”

“Kelly was amazing with our 3 dogs! They absolutely loved her. She is so friendly and went above and beyond to make both us and the dogs feel comfortable. We really appreciated the photo updates and check-ins—it gave us peace of mind while we were away. Kelly is reliable, caring, and clearly great with animals. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter!”

“I cannot begin to express how wonderful, caring and responsible Autumn is. We used her services to watch our (2) furry babies when we went out of town! She kept us updated throughout the stay and even worked with our latest rescue who has PTSD and anxiety. She is a godsend and you can tell she loves dogs. I highly recommend her to anyone needing a responsible dog sitter. Awesome experience from start to finish!”

About: I grew up living with different types of pets and have a degree in animal science. I have also fostered and volunteered at animal shelters I'm currently unemployed, so I'll have plenty of time to play and care for your pups. I'm available any time on weekdays and some weekends I have a fenced yard, space and friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. If needed I have crates for your pups to use

“Tuesday is a great dog sitter! She is friendly, professional, knowledgeable and responsible! I have a small Boston Terrier that needs a lot of love and attention. I was a little worried that leaving her behind on our trip would put a lot of stress on her. But when we returned from our long weekend away , I was pleased to see our Boston was more calm and relaxed then when we left her! Tuesday did a great job caring for our dog! I would recommend Tuesday without a doubt!”

About: I love dogs and have had several throughout my life, I've house sat for dog owners before and know exactly what it takes for different dogs and lifestyles. I'm free all day any day aside from Tuesdays and Thursdays unfortunately because that's when I have my college classes in person in the daytime. My house and neighborhood are very pet friendly. I go out of my way to make sure pets are safe and supervised while also having fun.

She was super reliable and responsible and was on point when she said she would be there, when she said she would check in, walked her early in the morning and gave her her medication. I trust Brooklyn wholeheartedly! So happy to have found a sitter so trustworthy!”

“Shannon did great with my two dogs while we were out of the country for 10 days. We were in the emergency room with one of my dogs just days before for his seizures. He takes a lot of medications and she did great with him, she also stayed with the boys nearly full time and communicated with me when she did leave. She even went and picked up my dogs prescription for me too. Great dog sitter!”

About: Hi! I’m Payton, and I am a member of The International Cat Association (TICA). I have many years of hands-on experience caring for and showing cats of many different breeds and personalities. From ages 16 to 20, I helped manage the day-to-day care of a multi-cat cattery, where I cared for kittens, breeding cats, and retired show cats. My experience includes feeding specialized diets, administering medications, grooming, nail trims, litter box maintenance, monitoring health and behavior, and maintaining consistent routines for multiple cats. Over the past four years of showing cats, I have learned how to handle them calmly and respectfully while paying close attention to each cat’s individual temperament. Whether your cat is outgoing, shy, or requires extra attention, my goal is to provide reliable, low-stress care while you are away. References are available upon request. I currently work part-time with a flexible schedule, which allows me to make drop-in visits during the week and provide longer stays over the weekends. Since I have cats of my own, their care is already a part of my daily routine. I understand the importance of maintaining feeding schedules, clean spaces, and consistent attention while you are away. I believe cats are happiest and least stressed when they can stay in their own familiar environment. I provide in-home care where I can maintain their normal routines, including feeding, litter care, playtime, and medication if needed.

About: I’ve always loved animals and enjoy making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m a veterinary assistant graduate and gained hands-on experience during my internship at an animal shelter, caring for both dogs and cats. I’m patient, gentle, dependable, and comfortable working with different personalities and energy levels. I understand that every pet has their own routine and needs, and I’m happy to give them plenty of attention, exercise, and love while their family is away. I have an open and flexible schedule, so I’m able to work around your pet’s routine and needs. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always important to me. I’m gentle, attentive, and respectful of your home, and I follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years, from owning my own animals to pet sitting (dogs and cats) and dog walking for others, with some shelter experience as well. I know how important routine and comfort are for pets, especially when their owners are away, so I focus on keeping things calm, consistent, and stress-free. Whether it’s feeding schedules, walks, or just extra playtime and attention, I treat every pet like my own and make sure they’re happy, safe, and well cared for the whole time.” Pet care fits naturally into my everyday life. I’m home and available for regular walks, feeding times, and playtime throughout the day, so I can keep pets on a consistent schedule. I build check-ins and outdoor time around my normal routine, which means your pet gets steady attention rather than being squeezed in around a busy schedule. When pets stay with me, I treat them like part of the family. I make sure they have a comfortable, safe space, stick to their regular feeding and walk schedule, and give plenty of playtime and attention throughout the day. I keep a close eye on their behavior and comfort level, especially in the first day or two, to help them settle in. When I care for pets at their own home, I follow the owner’s routine and instructions closely such as feeding times, walk schedules, medications, and any specific habits or preferences the pet has. Keeping pets in their familiar environment helps reduce stress, and I make sure to leave the home just as tidy as I found it.

Feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications stay on schedule, and I make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and snuggles. I also treat your home with respect, keep things tidy and secure, and send regular updates and photos so you always feel connected and confident that your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover who has lived with 5 different dogs over the years and cared for friends’ and neighbors’ dogs as well when needed. In our free time alone, my dog Yeager and I like to go on adventures hiking and camping together. When I care for your dog, they will have all the love, play, and attention they need since I am at home full time. I am at home full time to care for your pet. I have a flexible schedule to maintain a safe environment and give them all of the attention they need. I have a fenced yard and one friendly dog. I can keep the dogs separated if needed and can crate your dog if they are crate trained (please provide your crate).

About: I’ve been the family baby/dog sitter since I was 13! My whole family have always had pets and relied on me to take care of them! I’ve also taken care of my neighbors dog for several years enthusiastically. I’ve always found dogs to be the closest comfort, which is a reason to trust me. I’d take care of your dog like my own, as I hold them mine very close to my heart. I have a part time job working with kids, so I’m very available to book! I’m fully available four days of the week and I always have time to spend with your fur friends before and after work. In my home, I occasionally use a crate for my german shepherd, most of the time he is loose. He’s gotten accustomed to sleeping on my bed or my parent’s bedroom and we feed him early in the morning. Following his morning meal is a long walk. We make sure he’s well groomed with daily brushing and a wash once a week. Levi has allergies so we make sure to always apply topical remedies and purchase a high quality kind of dog food.

Vanessa came to the rescue when a different sitter fell through at the last minute. She was flexible with scheduling and great with communication, even sending pictures throughout her stay, unprompted. It was my first time leaving Rosie with someone I just met, and she made me as comfortable as possible. Rosie can be picky with people and take time to warm up, but she liked Vanessa instantly! I will definitely be booking with her again (:

Preslee was a pleasure to meet, came early to get familiar with Honey and Phoenix. Immediately she took to them and them to her. Preslee checked in with us throughout the evening and even sent us some pictures to show how happy they were and resting comfortably. She gave them lots of love and great care! We will definitely use Preslee in the future. I would also like to mention she took this caregiving for our pets last minute and on a holiday-a blessing for sure!
