“We love Caylei! Tim has some issues that make caring for him a challenge, but Caylei is 100% up to those challenges. Not only cash she manage his health needs, he ADORES her, which is really saying something for a persnickity cat. Lol. I appreciate Caylei so much. She gives frequent updates including photos and videos and anything else I might need to know about. 10/10 would recommend.”


“Charlotte was a godsend for our shy cats. We’ve tried several sitters in the past and our younger cat, Ivy, would never get comfortable with them, to the point where we would leave and worry she wouldn’t eat. However Ivy had no problem warming up to Charlotte. I don't know if it’s a trained skill or if Ivy just picked up on good vibes but she definitely made a friend this weekend. Charlotte went above and beyond for us and our cats in a way that can’t be appreciated enough. She’ll be who we go to first when it comes to cat sitting in the future. Thank you Charlotte!!!”


About: hello! My name is Michelle. I have had dogs growing up, and we have many dogs amongst our family and friends! I have taken care of our family's dogs when their people are out of town and have house/pet sat for some of our friends as well. We have some older pets in the family, so when they are in my care, I give out their medications and ensure they are eating and drinking as they should. I love all furry personalities from fluffy couch potatoes to zooming bundles of energy! I am a full time RN. I work 3 12 hour shifts overnight, so my daytime is open for furry friends. Having 4 days off a week also allows me plenty of extra time to spend with your fluffy loved ones. I do not provide in home services in my own home for my clients. However, I aim to provide the most professional care for my clients in their homes. I believe strongly in respect, mindfulness, and attention to detail when it comes to my work. When going to a client's home, respect for my client's pets and property will be my top priority.

“Morgan was an exceptional, loving, professional sitter. She really went above and beyond every single visit. Bella is SO lucky to such an attentive caregiver. Thank you Morgan! ♥️”


“This was my first time using this service and Beverly was amazing! Sent pictures and followed the instructions I gave, I had one less worry while I was out of town. She will definitely have a repeat client because I will definitely book her again!”


About: With over 5 years of hands-on experience caring for animals, I have developed a deep understanding of both dogs and cats. From daily walks, feeding, and administering medications to providing comfort and companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I am experienced with pets of all ages, including energetic puppies and kittens as well as senior animals who may need extra care and patience. My goal is always to ensure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I currently work remotely, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule and provide open availability. This means I can dedicate plenty of time, attention, and consistent care to your pets whenever needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines to ensure comfort and consistency. I provide feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection, while also keeping their environment clean, safe, and stress-free.

About: I have cared for cats and dogs my entire life, including babies and seniors. I believe that pets are an essential part of the family, and your pet will be treated as I treat my own pets. I work from home and have a flexible schedule to give your babies the attention they deserve. Plenty of time for outdoor or indoor activity. I have a safe home, cat and dog friendly, large backyard and a neighborhood with sidewalks for walking. Plenty of space to play and house a crate or bed.

About: I was born into an animal-loving family, taking care of all kinds of animals from a very young age. I've always enjoyed walking mine and friends/families dogs, and I much more prefer the company of my furry friends. My baby boy XL-Bully/Aussie has been part of my family for ten years now, having seen all the little shenanigans they can get into, and I’m still loving it! I can administer oral medication however the pup parent would like and can follow any schedule your pet is accustomed to, to the best of my ability! Senior dogs are one of my favorites, and I gladly work around their limitations. I'm a part time day and night shift worker, able to come to and stay in your home directly! Day shifts I am available before 11am and after 4pm, night shifts I am available before 4-5pm and after 10pm-12:30am. Off days I am available the entire day. I will gladly keep you updated on all parts of my schedule on the days I care for your pets, including: arrival at your home, departure from your home, my work schedule per day, when (if applicable) fed, and any other updates regarding your pet. I will gladly walk any dog no matter the size, and can crate your dog upon request! When staying overnight in a clients home, I am easily awoken in case of emergency and will always put your animals safety first. I will frequently be in contact with you and give updates on your pet, photos gladly included!

About: I grew up with pets since I was a baby. I have learned throughout the years how to care and love them differently. I currently own dogs, cats, chickens and birds which I love all so much. I love showing love and comfort to every animal that crosses my path! I would be very appreciative to make your pet feel more loved and comfortable than they already are. I’m working a part time which allows me to care for your pet more often than not. I am almost always available for your pet when needed. I have learned every dog/cat is different and have different needs. I am willing to learn new things. But I can safely put your pet in crates and give them their meds safely!

“We had an absolutely amazing experience with Brooke. She and her son took such great care of our kittens. We were sent daily pictures and videos. If I could give her a higher rating, I would. HIGHLY recommended!”


About: I grew up in a family owned pet store! I have always been surrounded by all types of animals and critters! Working in a pet store has given me knowledge of a bunch of different types of animals. I have 3 pups at home and they are spoiled rotten! I love staying active, so all walks will be tailored just for your furry one! A tired pup is a happy pup! :) I am former Navy and very detail-oriented. I like to pride myself in dependability and honesty. I will always keep you informed about how your furry one is doing while you are away. I will make 100% sure that your pet will get all of the love and attention that they truly deserve :)

About: I’ve worked as a vet tech for 10 years and in a pet store for 4, where I assisted with basic training like commands and crate work. I’ve cared for pets at every stage of life—from playful puppies to senior dogs needing special attention and medication. I’m also comfortable with all breeds and sizes (including my past 150 lb dog!). Whether your pet needs energetic walks or quiet companionship, I provide loving, reliable care on a short notice. I have stepped away from the vets office due to becoming a teacher, but would love to spend quality time with your best friend! I’m a teacher, meaning I’m available for all of your petcare outside of school hours! Afternoons, weekends, holidays? I’m free! Please reach out for more information. My husband and I have always said that our furbabies are our kids as well, so I understand the importance of keeping your loved one safe! For boarding at my home- I have two dogs and two kids at home, so your fur baby will have endless opportunities for play! I have experience with crate training, so I am able to crate my dogs (or yours!) if needed/preferred.

“Kyle (and family) were great to work with. We were very thankful that they could show up for us on such short notice. The daily pics were really nice to see and everyone was all smiles!”


About: I have watched every time animal from dogs, cats and even snakes. Friends, neighbors, family and bosses have trusted me with their bonus babies to be loved and cared for. I treat them as if they are my own fur babies. I work in the human medical field, but would love to spend some time on the side caring for fur babies. Most of my availability is in the evenings or on weekends. I enjoy going on walks and can handle any size of dogs. I have grown up with multiple dogs and know how to handle any temperaments, especially while walking.

About: I have taken care of pets my entire life! I had a Great Pyrenees until I was 15, and I still have a Golden Doodle and two cats. I also have taken care of small fish. My mom owned her own pet-sitting business for four years, so I’ve also learned the ins and outs of pet care! I’m currently working part-time and taking online summer classes, so I’m available for most of the week anytime during the day unless I’m scheduled. I work at a breakfast restaurant, so I can help before and after my shifts (7:30 am - 3:30 pm)! I wake up early to feed my pets and let my dog out in our fenced in yard to use the bathroom! I also give them love and attention and walk my dog throughout the week. I change the litter box when necessary, bathe my dog, and am willing to do whatever needed to care for your pets!
