“Emma was amazing! She was punctual and spent quality time with my cats! She sends amazing pictures of my cats everyday. She is very knowledgeable about my cats and i learned a few things! I look forward to working with Emma again in the future.”
“Thank you Erin! It was so nice to have the daily photo's and know everything was ok - and also balancing the time on the last day to bring in an unexpected package is very appreciated. I will be back for the next one!”
“AMAZING! I knew my dog was in great care the second she met Emily. I hope we find future dates to have her back. She was so amazing! Sent so many photos and information about each drop in. I felt so safe knowing Emily was dropping in to care for Callie. She truly cares for pets, can’t ask for anything more.”
“I booked Kira to come let my pup out everyday for the last week and she has been excellent! I get a nice summary of what they did, she is quick to respond, and I get a handful of pictures everyday. I am going to gladly keep using her every time I need someone to let my pup out!”
“Maddie is the best! She came to the rescue when I needed someone to start right away! Even did a meet and greet within the next few days! She is very sweet and reliable! I love getting updates,especially with the photos, from her visits with my dogs! This was my first time using this service and I’m so blessed to have found such a wonderful person to take care of my boys ❤️”
“Stephanie did a great job watching our GSP. Pictures were sent every day and it was clear to see he was getting attention and great play time. There was no issues with the holiday making the trip away more relaxed. She was flexible and communicated well as she did what was needed with her schedule keeping our pups needs in mind. Would recommend her and will be rebooking for our next trip.”
“Sarah is the best! She’s my go-to for any time I leave town! She’s more than happy to help, super flexible, and genuinely cares about my kitties! Will continue to book with her!!!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs both large and small for 10 years for friends and family, both in their home and my own. Willing to walk, play, feed, water, administer basic medications or just provide companionship. Trustworthy, compassionate and reliable. I currently work Monday to Friday but have open availability all day on weekends as well as weekdays after 6pm. I have my own dog and cat as well. I do live in an apartment so would be limited to one dog in my home. I have a 24 pound Cavachon who is friendly with all dogs. I walk my dog multiple times a day and would give yours the same care. I also have a medium kennel if your dog requires that for short absences if that is an option. At a clients home I can play with the pet in a fenced yard or offer 30-60 minute walks multiple times a day. Will feed, play, clean up after pottying, and will give your pet plenty of love and pets!!
“Jen always does great with Darla! Darla is very skittish but Jen always makes her feel comfortable! She always lets me know what’s going on with my cat and always sends fantastic pictures! I will use her every time !”
About: I have taken care of my neighbors’ animals since I was nine years old. I often take care of their dogs for several days at a time while they’re away. I love taking care of animals and making them feel safe and cared for, despite their parents not being home. I have work 8-5 every weekday, but I can pet-sit afterwards and stop by during my lunch break! My weekends are completely free, so I can spend the whole day with your pet if they have more frequent needs. I have had experience from young puppies and kittens to senior dogs and cats. I understand that every animal has differing needs, so I will do my best to accommodate to everything that will make your pet feel safe.
“Lily has helped us out three times now and we can’t say enough good things! She’s great with both of our dogs, takes tons of pictures, and is always letting us know how things are going throughout our trip! Lily is AMAZING!”
“Madison did a great job taking care of my 2 cats! They are still figuring out how to live in a house with people (after 2 years in a shelter) and she was very respectful of their boundaries. Highly recommend!”
“Matthias did a really great job by taking care of our 2 cats, he dedicated the time to play with them and look after them. We are so thankful to Matthias for given the extra mile.”

Erin does an amazing job taking care of our two kitties while we’re away. She gives them lots of attention, and the detailed report cards with photos always reassure us that they’re happy and well cared for. We especially appreciated that she took the time to message us when one of our cats was wheezing a bit — it showed how attentive and thoughtful she is. We would highly recommend Erin to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thanks for everything Erin!
Hannah is very dependable and cares about the pets as if they are her own. Very clean and cheerful to communicate with. Is flexible and adaptive to your needs. She understands senior pets well and is playful with both the senior pets and younger pet. The pets all liked Hannah very well. I highly recommend her for your pet care needs.
