Callie was absolutely phenomenal with our babies while we were on vacation for a week! We all looked forward to the photos and comments she’d leave every day. So thankful to have had such peace of mind that all was well back at home thanks to Callie! We will definitely be rebooking her in the future!!!

Phenomenal pet sitter! We love Jaden and more importantly, so do our dogs! We came home from a 4 day trip to pets that were relaxed and happy. We were blown away when one of our very shy and nervous dogs who usually hides from even regular visitors followed Jaden around. She is definitely our go to sitter from now on!Thank you Jaden for loving on our dogs and allowing us to relax and enjoy visiting our kids and grandkids!!

This was my second time booking Calie to watch Penny, and once again, she was wonderful! She is reliable, trustworthy, and takes great care of Penny. Most importantly, Penny really likes her, which gives me complete peace of mind while I’m away. I would happily book Calie again!

Katrina is so great!! I felt completely comfortable with her dropping in while I was out of town for visits to let my pups out. She kept me updated the whole time and sent pictures, and even told me little stories of their time together! I would recommend her services to anyone who is looking :)

About: Hi! Hello. I’m B, a lifelong dog lover with years of hands on experience caring for pups of all sizes and personalities. Growing up in a home that always had dogs (usually more than a few!), I’ve learned how to handle everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra TLC. Whether your dog loves tennis balls, belly rubs, or just lounging in the sun, I’m here to make them feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away. They’ll love our crew. I’m a stay at home dad, so my schedule is pretty flexible for you and your pup. They will get all the care and nurture they need, and be honest, you expect. Pets in my care become part of the family! I have two friendly dogs who love making new friends, plus a fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play. I also have kids, so your pup will get plenty of attention and affection throughout the day. We’re just a short walk from River.

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 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.

Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I tailor my care to fit their individual needs. I am patient, dependable, and attentive to detail. I understand that every pet has a unique routine, so I carefully follow feeding schedules, exercise needs, medication instructions, and any special requests. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away, while giving you peace of mind through reliable communication and photo updates. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide dependable care throughout the week. I enjoy staying active, so regular walks, playtime, and outdoor exercise are something I genuinely look forward to. I plan my day around the pets I'm caring for to make sure they receive the attention, companionship, and consistency they deserve. I am committed to being reliable, punctual, and responsive to both pets and their owners Your pet's safety and well-being are always my highest priorities. Whether caring for your pet in your home or during walks, I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and any special needs before each visit. I carefully follow your instructions, keep a close eye on your pet at all times, and create a calm, positive environment where they feel comfortable and secure. I believe clear communication is important, so I'll provide updates and photos during each visit so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: I’ve taken care of my dog for 13 years which helped me gain experience. My neighbors have also allowed me to babysit, walk, and feed their pets. I am currently playing for a local soccer team that allows me to have a flexible schedule. I am free most hours during the week and on the weekends. When visiting a pet at a clients home I make sure to let the dog get used to me first beforehand. If the yard is fenced, I would love to play outside with them. I would also give lots of pets and cuddles if they enjoy it.

About: Hi, I’m Alec. I’ve been around dogs and cats for over 20 years, and what sets me apart is my drive and hunger to provide the best care possible. I don’t just “watch” pets—I stay engaged, attentive, and focused on their comfort and safety. I take pride in being dependable, consistent, and going the extra step so your pets are well cared for every time. My schedule as a 1099 contractor is very flexible, and outside of work my routine is mostly going to the gym, spending time with family, and occasionally taking vacations. Because of that flexibility, pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle—I can easily adjust my time and prioritize pet sitting when needed. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I will care for pets in a calm, safe, and attentive environment, whether in my home or the client’s home. I make sure their basic needs are always met, including feeding on schedule, providing fresh water, regular potty breaks, and daily exercise like walks and playtime. In my home, I keep the space clean, quiet, and pet-friendly so animals feel comfortable and stress-free. In a client’s home, I follow their routine closely so the pet feels secure in a familiar environment and experiences as little disruption as possible.
