“Abby took great care of my cat and was very kind and responsive throughout the process.”
“Pam is a kind and passionate pet sitter! She had an intuitive and immediate connection with my skittish cat, and I completely trusted her to care for my pet and my home.”
About: I’ve had pets all my life. The past 20 or so years I’ve had several cats with special need, hyperthyroidism, kidney disease, diabetic. I can administer medication. I give my diabetic cat two shots a day. Also understand the importance of a special diet to maintain healthiness. Love dogs, can walk, play, check in on them and clean up after… a walk… Can feed and check in on any other types of pets but prefer no reptiles. Weekdays I’m available after 2:30 pm for longer visits. I work from home and could pop in for a quick check in if needed. My work schedule can be pretty flexible. On the weekend I’m available any time. At this time I would not offer pet sitting at my home. Any rules you have in your home I would follow to a “T” Example: indoor pets stay indoor, no pet off leash, if pet parent wants an anti bite harness. I would do what the pet parent wants.
“Alainnah was amazing. She sent photos every day and spent a lot of time with my cat. She even brought my trash cans in and other small favors. Would highly recommend!”
About: I've had pets in the home since age 1, and have been helping to take care of them since I could walk. I've always loved animals, and began volunteering at animal shelters, walking, bathing, and feeding shelter dogs beginning at age 5. I have worked in the field of veterinary medicine since 2023, and have a working knowledge of many medical and behavioral issues. I am comfortable caring for cats and dogs of any size, administering medications, walking reactive dogs, and more. I am also trained in canine CPR and first aid, in case of emergencies. I'm currently working from home, with the ability to bring my work on the road, so I have the flexibility to accommodate the needs of each individual fur family! I currently provide services in the client's home only. I will ask for a rundown of of your pet's daily feeding/walking/play schedule, and do my best to make your fur baby feel at ease while under my care with lots of playtime, cuddles and love; and maintaining their usual routine while you're away!
“Samantha was a quick study, efficient, kind, and was able to touch my skittish cat at first meeting! I was so worried but she took my worries away and was so happy to get her reassuring words and pic while I was away. I was also happy to learn Sam is a local which provided even more assurance and even though I live a ways out she was willing to travel to me where others I contacted all said I was out of their area. I really liked her and my kitty Jack did as well, straightforward and got the job done. Thanks Sam, you were a life saver!”
“Rashell was really great with my sometimes difficult pup, she also was super helpful being able to make my appointment with short notice... I'd recommend her for your dog!”

About: Greeting, My name is Helen. I’ve recently completed my contract in the military. During my time in the service I spent time caring for my colleagues dogs (I do love cats, but I’m allergic) and found myself actually branching out to others when they needed someone to watch their babies. I grew up always having a dog in our family, and know how important they are as family members. Their unconditional love is something I’ve always cherished, and it would be my joy and honor to care for your fur babies whenever. My schedule is flexible, and I am available often. It’s really not a hardship spending time with loving pups. I do have experience with pets that have special needs. I look forward to hearing from you and your fur members.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. My parents and neighbors have always relied on me to care for their pets while away. I always makes sure the pets are taken care of— that includes regular feedings, regular and plentiful walks, play times, and any medicine that needs to be given. I’m a teacher on break for the summer. So I have a lot of free time nowadays. I can look after pets for the next month and a half with not many conflicts in my schedule. I care for pets in others’ homes by respecting their house rules, making sure feedings and walks are done in a timely manner, and giving the pets lots of attention.

“Thank you for checking in on my babies. Great job as usual!”
About: I can care for a wide variety of animals. Care will include lots of physical and mental stimulation, as well as anything else you’d like!

Elizabet S.
“Elizabeth has been over to watch our 2 dogs many times and they absolutely love her, including our grouchy Beagle who doesn’t get alone with most people. She has shown great compassion for all animals that I’ve seen her with and has a dog of her own that she treats like family. She is patient and understanding to our dogs even when they are not at their best behavior. I recommend Elizabeth to anyone who is wanting their dogs or cats taken good care of. She is also capable of walking with them with no issues.”
