“Jessica did a fantastic job checking in on our cat while we were away! I would definitely recommend her for your future pet care needs. She kept us informed the whole time and was able to fill in on short notice. We came back to a very happy and well cared for cat. Thanks Jessica!”
“Jeremy was great with the cats and an excellent communicator! One of our cats needs medicine twice daily and is a little grumpy but Jeremy took good care of her.”

“We cannot recommend Stevie enough! Especially if you have cats! Your pets are in great hands with Stevie. She went above and beyond with our kitties and with our space. From hanging out with our cats, cleaning out their dishes and sending lots of great pictures- you will have great peace of mind when out of your home knowing Stevie is taking care of your pets! Thank you Stevie! Recommend x100!”
“Tish was incredible with our kitties! Very attentive, sent lots of updates and photos, and they absolutely loved her! It gave us such peace of mind to have her around and taking care of them while we were away. Will definitely reach out to her again the next time we are traveling!!”
“Kim was an absolute breath of fresh air after a not so great experience with our previous sitter. She left excellent reports and took wonderful photos. She’s very easy to work with and it’s clear animals hold a special place in her heart. Looking forward to having her sit for us again!”
“Deana was wonderful! I really appreciated her flexibility during the initial scheduling, which made the process so much easier. She has a true knack with animals, as she was able to pet our shy cat—a rare feat that speaks volumes about her approach and care. Deana also followed all instructions perfectly, including additional feedings and notes from our primary house sitter. She was highly responsive and provided good photos from every visit which is always appreciated. Highly recommend her services!”
“Natalee took care of my cats over 8 days. She was conscientious about getting to them after her flight home was delayed and during a storm. It would have been good to learn about the delay without asking, but with airline issues, I don't think she knew sooner. Thanks for all your help, Natalee!”
“Did everything I asked while I was gone for vacation. Extra thanks for cleaning up the mess the kitties made!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 15. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I have an English Mastiff, so I’m confident handling large breeds, but I also love working with tiny pups and seniors. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and treat every dog like my own. I am currently not working a job so I am available full-time to care for your furry friends! I would more than happy to take your puppy on a stroll around the neighborhood or stay with them overnight if needed! In clients’ homes, I follow all instructions closely to keep your pet safe and comfortable. I maintain their routine, keep their space clean, and make sure they get plenty of love, play, and attention. I’m respectful of your home and always leave things as I found them. Whether it’s sticking to feeding schedules, going on long walks or staying overnight, I’ve got it covered.
About: I currently own a very sweet, rescue lab mix and recently adopted a mischievous German Shepherd mix puppy. I trained both through reactivity issues, loose leash walking, as well as basic potty and crate training. I currently work in the evenings and am available for walks and drop ins through the morning and mid-day during the week. I'm fully available on the weekends save for spontaneous outdoor adventures with my own pups! I ensure your pets trust by gentle introductions and let them set their own boundaries if needed. I also have two dogs of my own for added socialization on walks.
“This was my second time I've had Carmen care for my animals. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone that needs care for their pets. She and her family truly are amazing and really love wht they're doing. Thank you SO much.”
“We were lucky to find a caretaker like Terry for our senior while we were away. She clearly has a love for animals and our cats got along with her. She gave oral med to one of our cats daily. Her daily pictures were great to see as we knew they were being well taken care of. She even offered to help out if we got delayed coming home or if we needed any additional visits which gave us an added peace of mind while we were away. Terry is easy to get along with and is very reliable.”
About: I have had dogs my whole life, ranging from miniature dachshund to German shepherd. I was involved with 4H when I was a child. I am comfortable walking dogs and administering medications. I currently work full time in healthcare but desire to provide pet care services in my free time. I am an animal lover and enjoy spending time with all types of animals. I will care for your pets in your home to keep them as comfortable as possible. I will follow their routine to keep them as happy and stress free as possible.
“Cerise did a wonderful job checking in on our puppy. She was super communicative, sent pictures, and was very trustworthy. I would definitely reach out to her again!”
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, pigs, birds, reptiles, and fish of all breeds and ages. I am a lover of all animals, especially yours! I am available daily for walks as well as in house care. Monday through Friday works best but can be available on weekends on occasion. I am respectful of all clients homes and only do tasks which are asked of me. I leave homes better than when I have arrived.
About: Ever since I could remember I have loved animals, I grew up spending most of My time at My grandfather’s farm. I would help My grandfather feed the animals. I gave the dogs and horses baths and groomed them. When I moved away from the farm and had no pets I still dog sat My neighbors dogs and Bunny. When I got My 2 dogs I had been the one to feed them before and after school , pick up after them, and bathe them. I now have a cat and have had her for over a year now since she was 6 weeks old. I have trained her a bit and I groom her weekly. I would say I would be a great pet care giver. I currently work Part-time as a manager but have alot of time on My hands to care for pets. If time goes on and I am seeing good results in this work I plan on making pet care My main focus. Right now I unfortunately can’t take care for other pets at My home because I am living with Family and in total the house has 4 pets. But I can care for clients pets at their house, that way their fur babies feel more comfortable too.
About: I’ve been caring for and loving everyone else’s pets, let alone my own, since I could walk. I have experience with all kinds of animals and all ages. I love being able to help friends when they’re out of town so they don’t have to worry about their fur babies. I have 2 businesses that allow me to work my own hours and I volunteer with search and rescue. I’m well organized and enjoy planning my schedule around routine. I currently will only pet sit in the clients home, as my yard is not fenced yet. I’m hoping to offer out of home services in the near future
