“Kristy is fantastic! Whenever she visits our two cats she gives us detailed updates, pictures and is overall so kind! I feel so at ease knowing she is there taking care of them and understands any concerns I may have. My two shy cats who do not come out for any guests, come out and come close when she is with them!”


“Alley is everything we needed in a pet sitter: attentive, responsive, and caring. She really got to know our cats and did a great job looking after them and cleaning up after them too.”



“Great caregiver, arrives on time and does everything we ask for. She even took care of an extra cat visiting our home. Updates with photos have been wonderful.”

“Leigh is an amazing pet sitter! She sent daily reports with photos of my fur babies. One of my kitty’s is a little shy but Leigh got her to come out from hiding which means a lot! Highly recommend trusting Leigh with your fur babies !”


“Nick did 3 drop-in visits to take care of our 2 cats while we were away for the week. He followed our instructions to a T and left the house very clean - we didn’t even see any stray litter on the floors when we got back. Nick seemed very caring with the cats and took the time to pet and get to know each of them. Even our 1 shy cat was comfortable with him. He even offered to water our plants and take in our mail and delivered packages while we were away. We will definitely use Nick in the future and would recommend him to anyone.”

About: My love for pets shines through in every moment I spend with them. My deep bond with animals reflects a lifetime of joy, companionship, and understanding. Whether it's the wag of a dog's tail, or the gentle purr of a cat, or a feisty jump of a puppy, or a nudge from a senior pal, I embrace the unique personality of each pet that I provide care. My care showcases my dedication and nurturing spirit, ensuring that every furry friend feels loved and cherished, just as I have experienced throughout my journey with them. I am currently a fulltime mom with two daughters, one in college and one high schooler. I'm looking to fill my days with some fun-loving care for pets. Availability is currently open seven days a week. Pets tend to feel more comfortable in their own surroundings. I offer in-home visits and walks. This is a great option for pets who prefer familiar scents, routines, and spaces. I maintain their usual feeding, walking, and play schedule, keep litter boxes or outdoor areas clean, and make sure they feel calm and cared for while you're away. I care for your pets as if they were my own—with patience, responsibility, and love. My goal is to give you peace of mind and give your pet a happy, safe experience. I provide structured care, positive reinforcement, and lots of affection. Whether your pet is active, shy, elderly, or has special needs, I tailor my approach to ensure they feel secure and well-loved. I typically like to have a consultation to meet the pet and owner and to ensure I can personally care for them and to understand each pets' individual needs. I do understand that in certain circumstances a consultation is not possible and I am willing to consider those jobs as well.

About: I have been taking care of various animals on my own since I was around 9 years old! I used to walk dogs around my neighborhood, and have experience taking care of them (feeding, giving medications, cleaning, etc). I have worked with dogs of all different ages, including ones with different health issues. I am great working with cats, and have two of my own! I frequently cat-sit and house-sit for many people. I also have experience taking care of other animals, such as hamsters, guinea pigs, and rabbits. I love working with and taking care of all different animals! I would love to work out whatever schedule works best for everyone involved! I would be available varying weekdays and weekends throughout the day to take care of your animals. Again, I am available to discuss certain days or schedules that would work best for individuals. I would not be able to bring any other dogs or cats to my own home, but I would be available to house sit or watch your animals in other environments! I have experience house sitting and cleaning up after the animals, as well as feeding and taking care of them. I would be able to follow walking and feeding schedules, and would love to take the dogs to parks or on longer walks if needed! I understand the different needs that each animals has, and would love to provide them with the care they deserve.

“Lynn Nicole was amazing and A+++. She took such great care of our two kitties during our long trip. Ensuring our kitties were well taken care of initially caused me some stress but after meeting Lynn Nicole we knew they would be in good hands and all of that stress melted away. She is responsible, genuine, friendly and kind and pays a great attention to details. And most importantly, she loves animals and our kitties immediately took to her during our meet and greet. And we loved her daily updates with pictures. I highly recommend Lynn Nicole!!”


About: I’ve had animals since about the age of 3! I’ve taken care of family and friends pets before starting to do it for others. I am a stay at home mom of 2 great kids. I have a very flexible schedule. I currently have 2 dogs, one of which is a rescue. Please feel free to message me with any questions. I have many references. I am a stay at home mom of 2 young boys, so I have a flexible schedule. I can work with you and your pets needs. I have a large fenced in yard with 2 small fur babies! They are extremely friendly! I am also able to care for your pet in your Home however you like!

About: I have experience training and caring for dogs and cats. I Specialize in dogs with hearing issues/ deafness. Both of my dogs are graduates of multiple behavioral and obedience classes resulting in our therapy certifications. We visit a multitude of schools, hospitals and other wellness centers. All volunteer work done by my companions and myself is strictly a passion and non profit. I was inspired by a visitation to my grandfather by a golden retriever, when my grandfather was in the hospital for open heart surgery. Seeing my grandfathers reaction to a dog visitation while he was in the hospital was a monumental moment for me that further inspired my passion and drive to work with dogs. I currently work early mornings for a government agency as an officer which gives me a lot of available free time at off times of the day and week. Making me readily available to care for your pets . A fenced yard is a must. My dogs are trained and raised to be curious and outgoing, thus a fence is needed. Although my dogs don’t need a leash, I find it’s necessary to generally have a leash attached. I allow my dogs to be curious, and put there noses where many wouldn’t generally allow. It’s important to always cover your stove switches/ burners with dog safety devices!. But ultimately I strongly believe in allowing your dogs and pets to be curious and open to learning. Dogs and cats alike are much smarter then most realize, and I believe this is there first time living as well.. and deserve the best experiences life has to offer!

About: Hi there! I have loved dogs since I was a toddler. My experience ranges from owning my own dog, fostering a fear-aggressive rescue, working as a veterinary assistant/kennel attendant, working at an animal shelter and walking/boarding/babysitting many furry friends. I am also a KPA-CTP trainer. Check out my reviews from past clients! I am always happy to meet up before hand to introduce myself and my own pup to your friend before any services. During all of my services, I make sure enrichment, training, safety and, of course, fun, are key components. Reach out, I’d love to meet your four-legged family member :) I am currently on sabbatical from my job working at an animal shelter for the summer. I am available every day and have a very flexible schedule. I am experienced with dogs and cats of all temperaments. Stranger danger, reactivity, and other behavioral problems are something I’ve dealt with regularly. My top priority is always safety and making sure the animal experiences as little stress as possible.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and have done fostering of dogs since 2019. My friends, neighbours, and their friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and be with their dogs. I have stayed at dog owners place and sometimes dogs have even stayed at my place too. I’m currently working full-time in a software engineering industry but my work is fully remote and therefore the dog allows me to get up from my chair and help them have a walk while me also taking a walk break from screen and work. I’m a very clean person so you wouldn’t find things laying around in my place. I am very cautious while walking the dog and will follow the instructions that are provided.


“Morgan cared for my cat when I had to attend to a family emergency and proved herself to be trustworthy, dependable and caring. I am a repeat customer and will definitely be requesting her again when needed.”


“Anna was great! She was very flexible and kept in contact with me! My dog and cat both loved her and can’t wait to see her again!”


About: I have volunteered at an animal shelter for 8 months, taking care of cats, dogs, bunnies, and anything that came through those doors. I have dealt with waste, scratches (thankfully not bites). I love to get outside and move and pets are a great way to do that, however, I don’t have any of my own right now so I’m excited at the chance to walk and interact with others! I work 7am-3:30pm Saturday - Wednesday. Therefore I am free in the early afternoons and on Thursday and Friday. I love to get exercise so I will walk as long or as little as your fur baby needs. I am good at following instructions. I can not have pets where I am so I can only do at home care. With that being said, I will ensure to follow any/ everything your fur baby needs.

About: I have been caring for animals since childhood. I can take care and provide company to your pet. My experience consists of taking care of different breeds like Doberman, schnauzer french bulldogs. I have an open a schedule so I am very flexible. I am not currently working full time so I can accommodate any scheduling or need. I have an open space where my dog enjoys and is guarded from running away. I take great care of the pets starting from walking and taking basic care.

About: Lifetime dog lover, searching for some pups that need some daytime love and exercise. I have owned a boxer, cane corso and a sheep dog but can’t responsibly own a dog in my current work situation. Would love to meet you and make a new furry friend! I typically walk between 5 and 10 miles a day for exercise/health reasons, love dogs but can’t own a dog in my current rental. Hoping to add a furry companion to my days. I grew up with a boxer named Lucky and have had pets my entire life, would love to meet you and yours, home visits or walks, my work schedule is flexible, just let me know how I can help!
