“Brie did 6 drop in visits for our cat Garbanzo while we were visiting family in Southern California. Garbanzo warmed up to her quickly and overall things went very well! I’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future.”


“An amazing person who went above, and beyond what was asked of her to do. Jessica spoiled, and treated my pets like they were her own even reading story's to them with her kids which was adorable. She made sure all their needs were met, and made sure to send me all the picture updates. I cannot show my gratitude enough, and cannot recommend her enough. Thank you! :)”


“Jessica was such a great sitter for my kitty over a holiday when we went away! She sent us updates and pictures and gave the cat some great company. Definitely recommend her!”


About: Since I was a child, I have been helping my family and friends pet sit and take care of their dogs! More recently, I help take care of my roommates dog, whenever my roommate is working or out of town! I love to learn all about dogs and figure out how to ensure they live life to the fullest! I currently have a very open schedule! So I can be here for you and your pets pretty much whenever! I am able to work with your own schedule. I will make sure to take all the necessary precautions to ensure your pet is safe and happy! I will try my hardest to accommodate your pets needs as well as your own! If I feel as if I cannot give the best care possible, I will let you know beforehand.

“Carly was an excellent communicator. She took lots of photos of the pets and wrote up a detailed account of her visit. She asked good questions at our meet and greet which gave me confidence in that she knows what she is doing.”


About: People often say I have a way with animals. They always seem drawn to me immediately, even when they are wary of others. I feel honored that animals feel this way about me because I feel the same about them! I have cared for many dogs of all sizes as well as owned cats. I have volunteered at a dog rescue in Thailand that has many disabled dogs as well as fostered cats/kittens here at home. I am an empty nester and would love to care for your four legged family members while you are away. Although I will never replace you, I can provide love and safety until you return (and probably some treats and adventures too!) I'm currently not working and can dedicate my time to pet/house sitting and care. As you can see from my photo gallery, I love all animals and have volunteered at a dog rescue in Thailand, fostered kittens at home, and have seen very cool animals in the wild and at animal rescues/sanctuaries around the world. (I always vet them to make sure they are ethical and doing legit work) I have a large fenced yard and indoor space for cats or dogs. We have plenty of shade and are also willing to take pets with us on outings. I live with my husband and son and they also love and respect animals. As far as caring for pets at someone else's home, I can stay at your house or check in as often as needed. I will play with them, feed them, bathe them, take them places (if requested) and give them love. I know they miss their people and its not the same without you, but I do my best to make them feel safe and comfortable.

About: I love animals! I have been around them forever, and in school studying to become a Veterinary Technician :) I am always open for play dates! I work Monday-Friday at Sammie’s Friends, but am available after 5pm for short dog/cat sitting. I am available weekends so any trips you want to take I’ve got you and your furry companion covered. I am very attentive and will make sure your pet is cared for and safe. Whether they are high energy and need more play time, or animals who just need some extra TLC.

“Anitra is consistently a wonderful caretaker and friend for Kali. She goes above and beyond and brought her a special toy. Thank you Anitra! Highly recommend as she is communicative and an animal lover.”


About: I have owned and bred South African Mastiffs and American Bully’s for almost 30 years. In that time the experience and knowledge garnered is unmeasurable. From training to diet to health to temperament to pack dynamics I am your go to guy. Experience matters…. I am up at the crack of dawn taking care of our own animals so that I can have the whole day and night to take care of yours…ALL HOURS ARE AVAILABLE FOR YOUR PETS I have huge(100 x 30) fenced in dog runs for your animals to play all day when weather permits. I have kennels in a climate controlled garage and shed as well as crates inside the house. I want your dog outside playing but know the weather can get tricky and i am ready to deal with it.

“Majesty was extremely responsive and a great resource for an admittedly last minute request for a pop in to let our dogs out while we were at a Christmas party. I felt that our house instructions were read and acknowledged thoroughly, and majesty was communicative and reliable about showing up on time. We’ll definitely hire majesty again.”


About: I have always loved animals and cared for lots of other people’s dogs, cats and horses as a kid and young adult before FINALLY having my own dog, Yuba, who is now 7 and loves welcoming new dog friends to his home. We are on 6 acres (2 acres fully fenced around the house) where we raise vegetables, sheep, goats and chickens. Your dog will get to roam, lounge, play and dig to their heart’s content. I can also take them to the park/on hikes I’m a stay at home mom so I’m mostly home with baby and doing farm chores/housework. If I have to run an errand I can crate your dog, leave them in the house or take them with me. I have a large fenced yard and a friendly 60 lb bull dog mix. If I’m feeding your dog I will feed them each in their own space to avoid any tension. As this is a working farm, your dog may learn about electric fences the hard way. They only need to learn once. We also have a bee hive but dogs generally know to steer clear of it.

“Paola took such good care of our 15 year old kitty! Our house looked spotless as well, which I know wasn’t luck. Our kitty tends to struggle with hairballs! Paola spent at least 30 minutes on each visit, playing with the kitty and chasing away her loneliness. It’s so comforting to know that someone truly cares for your pet while you’re away on a trip. That’s how we felt about Paola.”



About: I work from home and absolutely love fluffy pets. Our dogs Babu and Chico would love to have some new friends who can play in the yard with them. I am responsible, don’t drink, and am very active so you can guarantee your pet is in good hands. I’ve owned dogs all my life and love having friendly pooches around to love on and care for. We live on a farm, our birds (chickens and ducks) are secured behind a 6 ft tall fence. I am available most days, can take your pooches on a hike too so they’re extra worn out for you, we have a creek I walk the boys to at least twice a day. If your pooch is in the smaller side, or just likes to be a lazy bones, that’s fine too. If you think this would be a good fit, I’d love to talk to you & meet your pooch! I work from home and am a homebody who likes to be active. Your pooch will have plenty of companionship in our home. I can either be found inside doing working from my laptop or out in my garden. We have a fenced yard that we keep our birds behind, other than that we have a wide open yard. I can keep your pooch on a leash or leader line when outside with them.
