“Elissa has been so amazing to work with. She has been very dependable and very thorough in her care and communication! She gives very intentional and sweet messages with her check-ins!”

“Kristen was AMAZING!! This was our first time traveling in almost a decade, and I was incredibly anxious about leaving our furbabies. I had quite a lengthy document of notes, instructions, and emergency contact information just in case she needed it. She followed all of my instructions perfectly every single day and went above and beyond on multiple occasions. All of our kitties absolutely adored her, even our shy one eventually curled up in her lap and became friends with her! 🥹 She was great with communication too, she sent a daily text with an update on everything, and she included a lot of cute photos that we got to see while we were gone, which was nice. We will absolutely be using her again and referring her to anyone who needs a cat sitter! Thank you Kristen for everything, you eased all of my anxiety so quickly after we left and I truly appreciate everything you did. 💕”

“Savannah is a wonderful sitter who took such great care of my fur babies! She gave my cats lots of love and play, followed my directions to a T, and wrote very detailed and mindful notes with each visit. My cats and I are very appreciative of her!”

“Leslie was great! We appreciated the meet/greet before we left on our vacation and it was very easy to communicate with her the entire time. We felt very reassured leaving our kitty in Leslie's capable hands!”
“Carolyn was awesome! She was very thorough, kept us updated with pictures and activities of our cats and they seemed to really enjoy their time with her. Will definitely contact her for future occasions!”

About: As a passionate dog lover with years of experience, I provide a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for your furry friends. I send a photo and brief update of your dog’s day every day of their stay so you can rest assured that they are cared for and having a good time! My personalized approach includes tailored walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddles, ensuring your pets feel loved and secure while you're away. I treat every dog like family, giving them the attention and care they deserve! I am available for boarding every day of the week and I accept most last minute bookings. I am also available for dog walking on weekdays after 4pm! I have a friendly puppy to keep your fur baby company and a fenced in yard for your dog to run free and play in. I have a lot of crate training experience and if you prefer, I can crate your pet according to your schedule. I keep a very clean and dog safe home, and have complimentary treats upon request.
“Alexis is amazing!!! She was wonderful with my 3 small dogs. I had originally had someone scheduled to stay with my dogs but that sitter canceled on me 2 days prior to my trip. Alexis agreed to drop in visits for us. With my little pups I needed someone every 3-4 hours and she was willing which is a big ask, that is a lot of time out of her day and family time especially around the Holidays. I am so grateful to have found her. My dogs were happy and well taken care of. I will definitely be scheduling with Alexis again.”


About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 10. I love dogs and cats both and have 2 Australian Shepards of my own. Would love to help care for your furry family members. I am open Fridays and most weekend days. I am able to stop in to let out or walk your pet after 5:30 during the week as well. I personally have a fenced backyard and have two crate trained dogs so I am familiar with the process and always strive to keep pets safe.
“Mary did a great job on the extended drop in we requested at the last minute. We have one dog that is not super friendly and she handled the situation very professionally. We will definitely be booking her again in the future.”

“Kristina was is great! She went above and beyond and brought in three very heavy chewy boxes from our front porch while checking on our cats! Cats were well taken care of, and we will use her again!”

About: Many of my friends and family refer to me as an animal whisperer. I have a genuine love for animals and experience caring for pets of all sizes and personalities. I’ve helped care for dogs and cats by providing feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of attention to make sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to keep pets on their normal routine, so I follow all care instructions closely—whether that includes specific feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, or just extra cuddles. I’m also respectful of clients’ homes and make sure everything is kept clean and secure. I’m looking to make a career out of animal care. I’m currently free at whatever times you may need. All days of the week, I am available! When I care for your pets in your home, my top priorities are trust, safety, and keeping your pet comfortable in their familiar environment. I understand that inviting someone into your home requires confidence, and I take that responsibility seriously. I follow your pets routine as closely as possible—whether that includes feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or medication—so they feel secure and stress-free while you’re away. I pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, and any changes to make sure your pet stays happy and healthy. Your home will always be treated with respect and care. I keep things clean, organized, and secure, and I make sure your dog’s space remains calm and safe. I’m mindful of doors, gates, and surroundings to prevent any accidents or escapes. I also provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you always know how your pet is doing and can feel at ease while you’re away. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable in their own home.
“Danielle is amazing, she sends tons of pictures of your pets which I love. You can tell she really loves animals so I felt very comfortable trusting her with my dog and cat! 😊”

“Stacy was wonderful! I could tell she has a big heart from the moment we met her. She took excellent care of our 2 kitty boys and even got our very cautious/skittish fella to come out for pets! Great communication and a lovely experience all around. Would highly recommend her to anyone.”
