“Karen did fantastic yet again!! We were gone for over a week and she did drop ins on our 2 kitties. She always sends so many great photos and is so communicative!! A++ and would always recommend. We will continue to use her for all our trips!”

“I’m so glad I found Haley! She takes great care of my cats and I have come home to happy, healthy kitties each time I’ve booked her. Hope she’s willing to put up with independent Nova and needy Scotia, because she’s my new regular.”


About: I have been around several dogs through my life and I have about 2 years, I have been around and helped take care of 2 Pitbull, a Chihuahua, a golden doodle, and a labradoodle. I will feed, water, and walk you're dogs two to three times per day and hour, as well as playing with you're dogs. One of my family members pets has a fence in yard and I've walked their Labradoodle about two times per day and hour I was at their house.

“Tim has been fantastic with Sofie! He’s great at communicating and sending updates during his drop‑ins. The photos he sends of her looking calm and happy show how much she enjoys spending time with him.”

“Brennyn was a great sitter, we had a last minute need and they available to check in on our cats while we were gone. The cats did well under Brennyn's care and we are so appreciative of their help!”


“Billy visited our cat Woody and was very responsive and willing to care for him while we gone. He was quick thinking and creative when Woody wasn't so sure about him, and reached out to problem solve with us. He left everything tidy and checked in with us after his visits.”

“Lisa has been beyond wonderful to our boy Benny. He can be a bit difficult and doesn’t warm up to just anybody. Lisa has been so patient and allowed him the time to get comfortable with a new person. We would be thrilled to book Lisa again.”

“DaAnna was great with my 2 cats! She was super flexible and responsive with a last minute booking request, and took excellent care of my girls. Great photos and updates as well. Highly recommend.”

About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I’ve spent years around pups of every size, breed, and personality. I’m comfortable with dogs who are reactive or who love to pull on the leash, and I stay calm, patient, and confident on walks. I’ve cared for friends’ and family members’ dogs for many years, whether that means staying with them while their people travel or stopping by for walks, meals, and some extra love. I know how hard it can be to leave your pup when you’re away, and my goal is to put your mind at ease so you can actually enjoy your time without worrying about how they’re doing. I’m always happy to send photos, videos, or updates whenever you want them. I’m reliable, attentive, and I’ll always put your dog first. I want your pup to feel safe, happy, and genuinely cared for every moment they’re with me. I work fully remote, which means I’m able to hang out with your pup all day and night while you’re away. I’m around for playtime, cuddles, walks, and anything else they need throughout the day. I’m also super flexible with potty breaks and feeding times, so your dog can stay on their normal routine and feel as comfortable as possible. My goal is to make their days feel familiar and happy while giving you total peace of mind. Since I’ll be caring for your pets in your home, I always follow your preferences and routines to keep things feeling familiar and safe for your pup. I’m respectful of whatever rules you have in place, whether that means keeping them off the furniture, crating during certain times, or sticking to specific boundaries. I’m comfortable hanging out with your dog in the living room while I work on my laptop, giving them company and a calm presence throughout the day. If your pup prefers more space or quiet time, I’m just as happy to give them that too. I’m flexible and attentive to what each dog needs, and I do my best to maintain the environment and routine that helps them feel secure and at home. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, relaxed, and understood while you’re away, and to make the experience smooth and stress‑free for everyone.
“Mackenzie helped me in a pinch with a drop in for my pups! She was very communicative and took stellar care of both of them (one is a 5 month old puppy). Will be booking again in the future ☺️”

About: My pet sitting experience started after babysitting for families in and around the neighborhood and when the kids grew up or the family would travel, I would house sit or pet sit for them. Sometimes it would be two very active husky’s who walked 3 two mile walks a day, 5 long haired cats with two dogs and a bird, or just 2 cats to look after over the weekend. I love to make sure they are loved and cared for while being away from their favorite person! I have open availability for when you need me! I work from home so if coordinated in advance, I am able to be pretty flexible. I’ve always taken great care of my clients home when pet sitting. I treat their place as if it is my own and always make sure the space is cleaner than when I arrive.

“Lisa was great! My pets were super happy when I can back home, and my house was in good shape. She was very communicative before and during my trip, making it very easy to relax and enjoy my vacation without worrying at all about things back home. Booking and arranging meetings prior to our departure was also a pleasure! I would definitely use Lisa again, and highly recommend her. We were gone 12 days, and she looked after our elderly dog, our cat and our cockatiel. It was a very good experience...I give her all the stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Chris is amazing and we highly recommend her. She came by for a meet and greet, along with multiple drop-ins over 4 days. She’s reliable and wonderfully communicative towards us. More importantly, she took great care with our cats and was able to keep our most anxious one at ease. We would love for Chris to cat sit for us again!”


“Nicole was fantastic for our dog. She was responsive, timely, friendly, and clearly experienced with working with reactive dogs like ours. Nicole did a meet-and-greet so our dog could get to know her before our first time working with Nicole.”

“Rachael has saved the day! We are staying in town while we sell our home and look to buy another and we needed someone to look in on our pups midway through the day while we are at work. She was there to the rescue! She came to meet us in advance and quickly settled in with our two sweeties, sending us lovely photo updates and just generally keeping us in the loop. SOOOO glad we found her!”

“I have used Allie in the past and I always cross my fingers that she's available for drop-in's for my fur babe when I'm going out of town. Allie always manages to exceed my expectations with her communication, care, and attention to detail. She truly goes above and beyond in every aspect. It's obvious she has a love for animals and has a special way with them ♡ I always feel at ease when my cat is in her care.”

About: I’ve been taking care of plenty of dogs in my neighborhood since I was little, being sent off to walk, feed, or check-in on dogs that varied from being just over a month or two old to some of the oldest dogs I’ve ever gotten the pleasure to meet with them still kicking at 15 years old. I’ve been a dog person all my life and any opportunity to see them is always a plus for me. I’m currently home from college for the summer so my schedule is totally free to take care of these pups whenever and wherever I am needed! I’ve taken care of my own little old dog from puppyhood to him becoming a very old man in our house, he requires quite a bit of specific needs with his food so I am more than capable of tending to whatever possible requests you would have that the pups around me will need.

Maura was an exceptional sitter. She was always updating us on how our babies were doing and taking pictures of them as well. This was our first time leaving them alone and knowing she was watching them made everything better. I highly recommend her and we will be booking future visits when another trip comes up!

Always feel good about my older dog’s care with she’s with Brandi! She’s slowing down and has some behavior things and Brandi took care to check in about her walking needs and take her on a gentle walk at her own pace. Definitely trust Brandi for my pet care needs!

Loved having Katherine as our cat sitter! She was super patient and gentle with our shy cat, Sweets. Katherine was very conscientious of all of the kitty care details and was communicative throughout the process. Plus, I loved the photos and detailed updates she sent while we were away. Sweets and I are looking forward to working with her in the future!

Madison was wonderful with our puppy, Sunny! You can tell she genuinely cares. Communication was great, and we loved all the photos and updates she sent. She made us feel completely at ease, and Sunny was happy and well cared for. We’d absolutely book with her again!

We can’t thank Melissa enough for taking care of our house while we were away. Our kitty Woody had everything he needed including the voice of Melissa reading to him aloud. My plants were watered, mail collected and everything else that you would want to happen while away. Bravo Melissa. Job well done.
