“Kim was awesome taking care of our cat Nala while we were out of the country. She gave detailed updates each day with pictures that really made the time easier, and Nala couldn’t have been happier with her company and care.”


“I can't recommend Ronnie highly enough! He took such amazing care of our shy one-year-old cat for a week while we were on vacation. I was super anxious as we had never had anyone but friends or family watch our pets before. Ronnie patiently answered my long list of questions at our meet and greet. We booked two visits per day, since our girl is still so young. We weren't sure if she would hide when Ronnie dropped in. Not only did she come out when he dropped in, she also played, followed him around the house, and let him pet her. When we got home, it was like we never left. Our girl acted completely normal - not upset, stressed, or confused at all. Thank you, Ronnie!”


“Emalee was absolutely amazing with our three crazy cats! From looking through her photos, it was clear that she spent quality time with them both playing and relaxing. She is also an EXCELLENT photographer and sent us some amazing photos. Would highly recommend Emalee.”


“Gabby was wonderful with my kitties. I was sure my antisocial cat would be rarely seen but she was happy to see Gabby everyday! She even figured out an issue with their automatic feeders when I wasn't able to respond right away. Will definitely be having her watch my cats again!”


“Lindsey was super responsive and did a great job with our dog! Looking forward to future drop-ins!”


“What a wonderful experience ! Destiny is a true gem, she has fantastic communication skills along with a competent and caring nature. She is dependable and competent, medicating our pet with skill and always on-time. We would recommend her 100%”


“Kayla has been taking care of our animals for more than 3 years now and we have had nothing but great experiences with her. We are grateful for all the great care and the attention to our home! She's the best!”


“Morgan is a great sitter, I appreciated receiving photo updates throughout the day and it was good to see the cats happy and content back home while I was away. Would certainly book with her again!”


“Cameron provided cat sitting/housesitting services for us while we took a short vacation. We were very pleased with the care he provided for our cat and how he treated our home. He took time to get to know our cat, Felix, earning his trust and friendship. He spent time brushing and playing with Felix while we were away. We could see how well they bonded when Cam came over to return our keys. Felix quickly came up and allowed Cam to pet him while we spoke. Felix is normally a shy cat, so this was a great sign. We would be happy to recommend Cameron to anyone needing a reliable and caring pet sitter. We will definitely be using him when we travel in the future.”


“Katie is absolutely wonderful, book with complete confidence in her. We left our two cats in her care during a family vacation and she went above and beyond making them as comfortable as possible during our absence. We would absolutely book her services again in the future. Thank you Katie!”


“Daniel was wonderful. His twice a day updates and pictures helped make being away from home so easy. Our cat, Lucy, was very comfortable with Daniel and we definitely plan on hiring him again.”

“Alysha was great! We were in a pinch and she was able to work with our timeframe. She sent us updates on our cat and returned our texts promptly. We are very happy with her!”


About: I got my first dog Roxie at 8 years old. My mom made me a big part of her training and I assumed full responsibility after a few months. Summer 2021, I adopted a dog for myself and it’s been a blast! I have experience handling surgery recovery and medication administration. Douglas and I would love to have some more company over the summer! I work part-time at Lasertron which is only open Thursday-Sunday and though my schedule isn’t the same every weekend I know my shifts are 6-9 hours long. The other days I will be at home with Douglas doing summer classwork and hanging out, and I may volunteer once a week at the hospital though the day has not been set for that yet. I have a 1 y/o 11lbs Yorkiepoo named Douglas living here with me who loves other dogs of all sizes and is extremely tolerant of cats. The neighborhood is pretty quiet but there’s a small dog park and sidewalks throughout the whole neighborhood. Doug generally alerts when he needs to use the restroom and grazes on food, but if there’s a bathroom and food schedule you’d like just let me know.

About: I've had several dogs in my life, smaller and larger dogs. I had a cocker spaniel mix when I was a kid, a collie when my kids were young, and most recently a German shepherd. Each had their own personality and I have special memories of each one of them. I have taken care of older dogs and younger dogs. I can handle the energy of younger dogs and the needs of older ones. We have always seen our pets as members of the family and I hope you will allow me to see your dog in the same way. I have friends that I have stayed at their house for a couple of weeks to spend time with their dog while they were on vacation. We went for walks twice a day and had a lot of time playing together. I work remotely in my job so I am happy to work from wherever is needed to take care of your pet. My schedule is flexible and I will work hard to accommodate the schedule of you pet. If you just need someone to come to walk your dog or just spend time with your cat, I have the flexibility in my day to do that. My first goal is to make your dog or cat comfortable with my visit. If I'm staying in your home, I will follow the routine you have set to do just that.

About: I’m a professional handler making a pivot to personalized individual care. I have experience in the training world; I’ve even trained my own service dog. I’ve also worked in behavioral health as a Canine Care Technician. I’m currently a student a RIT studying for a career in Public Safety. I do almost exclusively afternoon/evening classes and am willing to wake up early just for the special cat or dog in your life. I am certified in Fear Free/LIMA techniques and have a grasp on positively-reinforced Balance training. I will default to your family’s system to maintain a safe environment for your beloved pets. With your consent, I will leave the house better than I found it; dishes (including water/food bowls) will be washes and the floor swept. We will agree on appropriate times for me to send updates and you will get as many photos as you could possibly want (I have mastered portrait mode on my phone as it relates pet photography. You can ask for previous works.) Thank you for the opportunity to help you optimize your pet’s day. It will be a day full of joy and whimsy!

“Thanks for taking care of our cat, Calvin. It meant a lot to us to know that you were checking in on him and taking care of his needs. Thanks for good communication and for sending us photos.”


“Heather did a wonderful job. I loved getting pics of our lovelies & knowing exactly when she was at my home tending to our pets. It gave me real peace of mind. I could relax and enjoy my time with family and friends without worry of needs back home.”


About: Hi, I’m Jackie! 🐾 With many years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, I truly love what I do. Whether it’s a high-energy pup who needs extra exercise or a shy kitty who needs gentle companionship, I always treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m reliable, responsible, and attentive to each animal’s unique needs and personality. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priority. I look forward to meeting your furry family member! I currently work full time and am looking for an extra side gig! I am available all weekends and weekday evenings after 4:30 to care for your animal! I have experience with high anxiety dogs, so I understand that a new face can be hard for some furry friends! I also have experience with my dog pulling on his leash while walking, so I know how to handle that situation.

Makaila M.
“Makaila has watched my Dog and cats for over 6 years. I always knew when I went out of town that they were in great hands. She made sure my Aussie (Becky) who was a senior dog of 15 had her meds when needed and gave her plenty of love. My animals adore her and have always felt comfortable with her around. She has even taken them to appointments when I was unable to. She treats every animal as if they were her own. I will always recommend her to anyone to watch over their animals when they are out of town.”


Abigail G.

Westley-Morgan T.
“My cats are not fans of new people. Westley sat on the couch for 5 minutes before he had Phantom next to him. Sebastian gave him bumps too. I have also never seen a person off social media care as much about a pet's mental engagement as I have seen Wes care about his dogs. If anyone will make you pet as comfortable as possible while away from their favorite human, it's him.”

She spent her time talking care of Georgia, giving her the love she needed and put my mind at ease knowing she was in great hands!! I highly recommend Jacqueline and I’ll be using her from here on out! 5 stars all a round! Book with her you will not be disappointed!! And your animals will be loved and cared for!”
