About: I have lived with animals most of my life. While I currently do not own a pet, I have continued to surround myself with the animals of my friends and family. I started cat-sitting 2 years ago. When I pet sit, I aim to ensure a great experience for my furry friends. I am currently working part-time as an Occupational Therapist (OTR/L) and am flexible in my hours. I am currently a part-time Occupational Therapist, so I have flexibility in my schedule to take care of your furry friend. I have my own transportation as well. I work hard to ensure a safe and comfortable environment for your animal in their home environment. A detailed description of your animal's needs is much appreciated.
About: My whole life I have been surrounded and cared for animals of all kinds. I have experience with everything from bottle feeding kittens and goats to helping my 20 year old dog cross the rainbow bridge. My life has been spent giving gentle but clear structure to animals and humans alike. My experience includes animal care across all ages, both my own animals and friends, family and classroom animals as a teacher. I look forward to working even more with animals as I transition to a new stage in life. I am currently available on a very flexible schedule. I look forward to working with you to find what works best for you and your pets. There are many opportunities to have your pet in your home, yard or out in the world per your request. We can work together to find the best environment for everyone.
About: I was born into a family with a black lab and have taken care of dogs my entire life! I have experience caring for my dogs, friends’ dogs, and friends’ cats. One of my childhood dogs went blind when he was 8, so I am comfortable and caring toward pets with disabilities as well. My dogs have been my best friends, so I’ll make sure to treat your pet like they’re your bestie too! I’m working part time throughout June and have lots of availability on week days and weekends! Feel free to message me with any questions about availability! I let pets out to go to the bathroom (exception of indoor only pets), I’ll clean up the occasional accidents that happen inside. I play with the pets and give them lots of attention before I leave, paying notice to body language for safety. Please let me know if you have any safety concerns!
“I booked Jaden for a last minuet weekend house sitting. Her and her boyfriend are a super cute couple and I felt instantly safe letting stay in my house and watching my babies. There were no issues and I would definitely book them again!”
“Alex was an amazing communicator and a trustworthy house sitter and was able to be flexible with our last minute booking. She sent pictures and updates of our pets. We will for sure ask for her help again!”
“I’m very picky about who I can have to watch my crazy crew. We were in a bind this time and leaving in two weeks. So I got on Rover and Adam’s profile was the first one I saw. After reading all the reviews, we asked him to come for a meet and greet. We have two tests he has to pass. The first one was he got down on the floor and immediately after walking in the door and he instantly connected with the dogs. We have two basset hounds and one of them loves to keep barking at people. Adam passed that one. That one was for us! The second one was to see if Wilson (the barker) would like him. He did! He rolled over and lifted his front leg so Adam could rub his chest. Hr passed again! I felt a calmness and I knew everyone would be all right. He was so patient with our four cats. Each day he was able to coax one out from under the bed. He stayed at our place for 5 days. Hr took care of everything including watering all my MANY flower baskets and pots. We will DEFINITELY have him again! He’s amazing!”

Rachel is reliable, kind, and committed. She is clearly an animal lover of all kinds. We could count on her to help our elderly kitty and give her love and attention, food and cleanliness. We are so relieved to find her. We will book with her whenever we are out of town.
I'm so grateful to have found Lisa. She is wonderful with our fairly particular and needy dog. She took excellent care of her and was super flexible on my last minute request. She worked closely with me to make sure our dog wasn't alone for too long and gave great updates to keep me assured our pup was doing well while we were gone. She also helped me at the last minute with a dog walk when I was unable to do it! I love seeing how much my dog likes her! ❤️
Andrea was absolutely wonderful as our cat sitter! From the moment we connected, she was communicative, professional, and clearly cared deeply about animals. She took the time to understand our cat’s routine and personality, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We especially appreciated the regular updates and photos—Andrea really went above and beyond to keep us in the loop and make sure our cat was happy and comfortable. It was clear our cat was not only well cared for, but also getting plenty of attention and affection. We came home to a relaxed, happy cat and everything in great shape. We would absolutely book Andrea again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring pet sitter!
Elizabeth was amazing with Mila! She was so kind and understanding, helping me with training, giving tips on how to help Mila be polite, sit, lay down, and not bite. She walked Mila and was super flexible with the schedule, always willing to adjust to accommodate both my needs and Mila’s. When I needed her most, she pulled through. Truly the best pup sitter ever!
Brieanna did a wonderful job taking care of our pets, including 2 cats and a large fish tank. As a house sitter, she kept our home in good order and was great about sending us updates daily so we knew our fur babies were being well taken care of. It made it much easier to enjoy our vacation knowing everything at home was in good hands. She’ll be our first choice for the next trip we plan!
Tara is our first choice when we need a sitter for our dog. She is kind, communicative, and extremely reliable. Not only does she take wonderful care of our dog (who loves her!), she also takes great care of our home. Your pets and home are in wonderful hands with Tara!
Keri was a fantastic caretaker for my two dogs. She followed the care instructions, took them on a daily walk, and administered medication 2x daily. A highlight was all the photos she sent of my dogs happy, relaxed, and cared for. Keri also left our home in clean condition. I would definitely have her take care of the dogs again!
I felt like I left my sweet, anxious, and dog reactive gal, Magpie in safe hands with ML. He has a calm presence and was communicative during our trip. He left our house in great shape and I could tell when I got home that Magpie was relaxed and happy, which is always a great sign to me! I would definitely recommend him for house/dog sitting needs, and hope to book with him again in the future!
