“After dropping in to let my 10 month old puppy out for a break for 3 days, I’ve determined Erin is a saint! My puppy proved very difficult to get on the house, and Erin did not give up on her. She is reliable, responsible and very comfortable around my dog and cats. I’d highly recommend her and will hire her again in the future.”

“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.”

About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs my whole life and have helped many friends, family and neighbors care for theirs. Dependable, trustworthy , kind and caring. I’m working part time so I have plenty of extra time to help you care for your fur babies. I have two of my own that are my world so I know how important yours are to you and will make sure they are taken care of just like my own. I’m very adaptable to whatever your pups needs are. Whether they need long walks, play time ( i have two labs that love to play) to be fed, let out, medications given etc. I’ve worked with many different types of breeds and multiple dogs at once. I’m great with communication and if you’d love pictures or videos sent I’d be happy to do that as well.

About: Hi there, I’m Sydney! Growing up I’ve always loved animals, both young and elderly. I would love to meet your furry friend and give them the attention they need and deserve while you’re away!

“Shelby continues to be the most incredible sitter for our two high energy boys! Every time she stops by I know they’re in great hands. One of our pups currently has a paw injury and Shelby has taken such great care of him during her drop ins, even helping us with ideas on how to waterproof his bandage to keep it dry in the snow! She has fantastic communication and is always so flexible - if you want an amazing dog sitter she’s the one to book!”

“Ashley has been amazing! She took care of our two cats while we were on vacation for 10 days. She came in every day, made sure their food bowls were full, filled water in ghe fountain, and took care of their litter box. The cats loved her and warmed up to her instantly, even Coco who is a shy kitten! Ashley spent an hour with them every day, playing and cuddling, and also sent us pictures. We were anxious of leaving them alone, but after the first set of pictures , we knew the kitties were in good hands. We could enjoy our holiday fully knowing the cats were well taken care of! Would love to have Ashley take care of our babies again ♥️”

About: I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life and currently am a fur mom to two cats of my own, so caring for animals is second nature to me! While I do specialize in cats, I have experience watching pets of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, from energetic puppies to sweet senior pets. Whether it’s cats or dogs, big or small, young or old, I’m comfortable providing attentive, reliable care. I treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well taken care of while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work from home most days of the week. This gives me plenty of availability for daytime check-ins, walks, or visits. I’m also available in the mornings, evenings, and on weekends by request, so I can easily work around your pet’s needs :) I’m not able to host additional pets in my home right now since I have two cats and limited space, but I’m happy to come to you. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and in-home care so your pet can stay comfortable in their own environment.

Abigail did awesome with my cats. She was very kind, showed them love, and made sure everything was clean and tidy when she left. Her communication was great. My request was last minute so she was a life saver being available on short notice.

Tyler did a great job of dropping in to visit and feed our lab. He’s very responsive, shows up on time and gives updates with a photo. He has a nice calm demeanor, which is perfect for our dog. I will not hesitate to book with him again.

This is our second time with Libby and continue to be extremely satisfied with her care for our cat. We were out of country for 2+ weeks and each morning I would wake up to a visit status along with pictures. She also supported with mail & bird feeding which was much appreciated. Basically I could enjoy my vacation and know all was okay at home and if any issues- I would be contacted immediately.
