“Kimberly is the greatest pet sitter on earth I believe. She has actually made my cats sweeter and more cuddly. I love that I don't worry at all about them knowing she is taking care of them as I have to travel a great deal. One of my cats even had a major surgery and I came back home to her and she was better than ever. Best best sitter ever.”


“Quetzaly is a gem! From the very first meet-and-greet it was clear she loves cats and would treat my 6mo kitten Moss like her own. She was skilled in handling all the troublemaking that Moss could throw at her and communicated everything to me; e.g. when Moss pulled a painting off the wall and into her water dish, Quetzaly rescued the painting for me and on short notice refreshed the water dish just so there wouldn't be any traces of paint in the water, which I really appreciated. I also loved all the photos and the little notes she left during the visit (and my family enjoyed the updates too!). She even left a note for me afterwards letting me know about some local events going on since I'd mentioned I'm new to the area. All in all a great catsitting experience :)”


“Kristine is just awesome! She takes such good care of my girls and they are always happy to see her.”


About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was smaller, taking care of family and friends pets. They relied on me to walk, feed, take care of and spend the night for sometimes weeks! I myself have had a puppy and a senior dog and am good with both! I am on summer vacation and work a part time job so that gives me a lot of free time to care for your pets! In my home my dogs are walked and feed daily, loved, and comfortable. In clients homes if they leave a routine that they have with their dog it is important for me to stick to it! I love how dogs have their own quirks and routines.

“Dana was amazing! My Wickett was a little shy during their first meeting and Dana was so patient and understanding. Just after a few minutes, some yummy little treats that Dana had, and some extra love, Wickett warmed right up to her! Right then, I knew Wickett was in good hands! During her drop in visits, Dana kept me updated with pictures and texts and my little girl always looked happy :) Repeat customer, for sure! Thank you Dana!”


“Kate was a great per sitter. We were worried about booking last minute but she was easy to schedule a quick meet and greet. Without asking she offered to take photos and and walk overall she eased my mind leaving them alone with a stranger.”

I am a full time student and like to take time away to give love to the fur babies of the world ! Walking , playing and cuddling !

About: My love for animals began at birth, when I met our two family Labradors named Buster and Cody. Since then, it has only blossomed further and I love caring for dogs! I have run my own dog sitting business since 2010, taking care of dogs of all backgrounds, breeds, ages, and mannerisms. Let me show the level of care and attention I can provide your pet with! I'm currently working part time and have lots of flexibility to care for your pets on your time! Same Day bookings are available for home visits and dog-walking. I'm available mornings, most of the afternoon, and all evenings. I am available for overnight stays at any time during the week! To ensure the safety of your pets, I will schedule preliminary meetings where I get to meet your fur babies and make sure all needs are accounted for. I also have a form for you to fill out, describing normal routines for each special animal such as feeding schedules, daily meditation, and any other special instructions to ensure their needs are meet! I will always be available for contact if you have any questions or concerns.

About: With over a decade of personal pet ownership and a lifetime of growing up with cats and dogs, I bring extensive experience and genuine love for animals to my pet care services. As a proud owner of an 4-year-old American Bully with a heart murmur, I understand the unique needs and challenges of providing around-the-clock care. What sets me apart from other sitters is my exceptional dedication and specialized knowledge in senior and special needs care. Having cared for my beloved American Bully with a heart murmur, I am well-versed in administering medications, monitoring vital signs, and providing the attentive care required for pets with health conditions. I am committed to ensuring their comfort, well-being, and quality of life. Additionally, I have honed my skills in puppy training, helping young furry friends develop good behavior, obedience, and socialization. I understand the importance of positive reinforcement and patience in shaping their early experiences. When you entrust your pets to me, you can rest assured that they will receive the essential care, warmth, compassion, and understanding from a genuine animal lover. Your pets' happiness, safety, and health will always be my top priorities, providing you with peace of mind while you're away. I work from home so I can give your dog the full attention and care that it needs daily. I love taking them on walks or playing fetch in the yard. Ensuring the safety, trust, and well-being of your beloved pets is my top priority, whether they are in my home or yours. Here's how I provide exceptional care in both environments: In My Home: * Safe and Secure Environment: My home is equipped with a fenced-in backyard, providing a secure space for your dogs to play, exercise, and explore freely while being safely contained within the boundaries. * Access to a Dog Park: Conveniently located down the street from my house, there is a dog park where your furry friends can enjoy off-leash fun, socialization, and engaging activities. Regular visits to the dog park will allow them to burn off energy and interact with other friendly dogs. * Ample Space Indoors: Inside my home, there is plenty of room for your pets to move around comfortably. They will have access to designated areas where they can relax, play with toys, or simply enjoy quality downtime. In Your Home: * Familiar Environment: I understand the importance of maintaining a sense of familiarity and routine for pets. When caring for them in your home, I ensure to create a safe and comfortable environment that aligns with their usual surroundings. This helps minimize stress and anxiety. * Adherence to Instructions: I carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any specific care requirements. By maintaining consistency, I aim to provide a seamless transition while you're away. * Engaging Activities: Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize engaging activities tailored to your pets' needs. This includes interactive playtime, stimulating mental exercises, and regular walks to keep them active, happy, and entertained. Throughout the entire pet care process, I establish trust by maintaining open communication with you. I provide regular updates on your pets' well-being, including photos and videos, so you can have peace of mind knowing they are in capable and loving hands.

“Brandi is wonderful. She’s friendly and on time. I left my puppy with her for several days and she dies drop by visits all the tim. She sent updates and pictures and walked him. I would recommend her for any services.”


“Samantha is truly amazing!! It was our first time leaving our pup for an extended period of time and she was great with him! She sent me photos and a video at each check in. She took the time to play with him and I know that’s what truly made all the difference while we were away. We are so grateful for you Sam!”


“Jose was very professional did a great job with our standard poodle! He is kind, respectful and very pleasant. Would definitely recommend him to friends and family!”


About: I’ve taken care of a variety of pets beginning with household pets as a child. About ten years ago, I adopted my first pet of my own and have had one ever since. I regularly take care of neighbors’, friends’, and referred (and repeat) clients’ pets of a variety of ages, temperament, and health condition with love and joy. I love caring for animals and am confident in my ability to handle any challenges pet care may throw at me. I have been pet/housesitting part time for several years and have recently shifted to a more full-time basis. This has enabled me to build my schedule around my clients’ needs. I do my very best to accommodate any feeding, walking, or medication routines that pets may be used to. I make myself available throughout the day for questions or updates, and if I cannot immediately respond, I do so as soon as I can.

About: I absolutely love dogs and caring for them comes naturally to me. I treat every pup with love, attention, and respect, just like they’re part of my family. I have experience walking, feeding, playing with, and giving lots of cuddles to dogs of different sizes and personalities. I’m very responsible, patient, and always make sure each pet feels safe and happy. Whether your dog needs calm companionship or playful energy, I will be fully present and caring. I’m available for pet care Monday through Friday after 5 PM, and I have full availability on Saturdays and Sundays. I’m excited to care for your dog during my free time and give them lots of love, playtime, and attention. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my priority! I always make sure pets feel safe and loved. I can care for your dog at your place or mine depending on the service. I provide a clean, calm, and loving environment where your pet will receive constant attention and care. I treat every dog as if they were my own, with patience, gentleness, and responsibility.

About: Hi there! I’m someone who genuinely loves animals and treats every pet like family.

I offer flexible availability, quick updates with photos, and I always follow any instructions you leave me. Let’s make your time away stress-free — for you and your pet! I work part-time with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to provide consistent, loving care for your pets. I’m available for boarding on weekends, and for walks or drop-ins on weekdays after 2 PM. Whether your pet needs daily attention or just occasional care, I’m able to fit them into my routine with ease. Your pet’s safety and comfort come first. I have a secure fenced yard and two well-socialized, friendly dogs who love having new friends around.

Megan treated my boys just like they were her own. We received some bad news about our Senior dog a couple of days before our trip. Megan was so reassuring. She walked me through using this app for the first time. I highly recommend her 💕

Gabriele was absolutely amazing! She would send detailed updates on my two dogs after every visit, which made me feel so much at easy. She would send pictures attached as well, which every pet owner loves. She came over and met the dogs first and made sure everyone felt comfortable before our booking. Absolutely 10/10 recommend her for any pet sitting you might have.

Alexa did a great job. It was so comforting knowing she was checking in on my pets while I was gone. She went above and beyond giving my cat her supplement each day, which isn’t easy. I will definitely be booking her again.

April is part of the family. I trust her with everything!!! Thank you April for being the best person and dog sitter!❤️

Aaron was awesome with our pitbull Pebble! He was timely and communicative. Will definitely be booking him again for future sitting!
