“Gillian was amazing! My partner and I went to CA to live it up and I’ve always had family watch my puppers. When I met Gillian, I knew right away she was going to be a good fit and sitter for my fur babies. She was responsive and responsible. She has an amazing attitude and energy about her. Gillian even tidied up my house so when we got back, we could just settle right back in! 🤯We surely will be using her again (if she’ll have us ☺️) Thank you Giselle…I mean Gillian!!!! 😜”
About: My name is Molly and I am an Ed Tech/BHP with availability and energy in the summer months. I have a four year old son and a ten year old dog, Zoe.

About: Hi!! I grew up with dogs, a pit lab and a yorkie, and I used to clean dog kennels and feed them at the pope humane animal shelter! And I recently a few months ago did a two week house sitting/ dog sitting job! I am a huge fan of dogs :) I’m a recent college student who has always just wanted to take care of people’s pets while at college, unfortunately it’s much more difficult up there, but now I’m home and I get the chance to see others pets more easily! It fits in super well currently, I’m available usually 24/7 just need to know at least a few days in advance! I make sure that I keep my eye on animals, especially puppies/kittens. I know they can be all over the place, I like to stick near them and make sure I have available numbers in case something were to go wrong.
About: Hi, I’m Lindsey! Over the past 25years, I’ve had the joy of caring for pets, and it’s been an incredibly rewarding experience. I believe pets are family, and finding the right person to look after them while you’re away is crucial. I take this responsibility seriously and approach every pet with the same love and care I give to my own. Caring is embedded in my nature and when I'm not loving on my pets or caring for others fur babies, you can find me working as a nurse. I'm currently the owner of a special needs dog and feel comfortable caring for those pets that need a little extra care. Ask me about my pet wedding service I offer! As a nurse, I have a flexible schedule that allows me the freedom to have days off with no work obligations so I can give my full attention to caring for your pet. I know that ensuring your pet has a safe environment with someone they trust is of utmost importance, so a meet and greet prior to confirming services is required. I tailor my approach based on the unique needs of each pet and their owner. When caring for pets in my home, I offer a safe and comfortable environment with ample space to play, opportunities to potty and protected sleep space. My pets are used to a structured environment, which allows them + visiting pets to settle into the new arrangement with ease. In your home, I focus on maintaining the familiar routines and surroundings that keep your pets comfortable. I follow any specific instructions you provide and adapt to your pet's habits and preferences, ensuring they feel secure and loved. My experience has equipped me with the skills to accommodate a variety of needs, whether it’s sticking to a feeding schedule, administering medication, or providing extra attention and care. Overall, my goal is to provide seamless care for your pet so they feel safe, secure and calm while their owner is away. Daily updates with pics or videos will be sent to ensure the owner feels safe, secure and calm while they are away as well! Prior to your departure, a plan for emergencies will be discussed and I will ensure I have all necessary phone numbers and contact information.
“Claire was amazing. She took great care of my kitties and was happy to serve as a sofa for the older one. She sent me pictures every day! She left the house clean and the bed stripped. I would recommend her to everyone!”
“We were away visiting family for a month and it was the first time in a long time that someone besides a good friend of mine stayed at our house with our 3 cats. Of course I was a bit nervous with having a new sitter but Jill quickly put my concerns at bay. She was wonderful with communicating and sending photos of the cats so I was ensured that they were getting great care. Jill was also fantastic with keeping me up to date on other house issues. When we returned home, despite her being there for a month, the place looked like nothing had happened! Jill left the house so clean and had also take very good care of the outside areas. We could not have been more pleased and grateful with her stay and help!”

About: I have always been an avid dog lover, and have been blessed by the bond I’ve formed with my own dogs through the years. I love learning more about dog behavior and am constantly striving to learn how to be the best pet parent I can be. I have experience with puppies, reactive dogs, and senior dogs needing medication. I will treat your dog ad if they are my own: being loving, protective, and reinforcing training, if wanted. As long as we communicate, I’m sure I’ll be able to provide a wonderful respite for you and your pups. I currently WFH, making my schedule fairly flexible. I ensure that the pups in my care are getting their desired exercise needs. I will generally only be gone for a maximum of 4 hours. I have an unfenced yard away from any traffic. Whenever the dogs are outside, I’m close enough keep a watchful eye and ear out if they ever need support.
