“I was so very pleased with Juli's visits with my two kitties. Both of them found love at first sight when they met her! I went on my trip confident in her care for them and was surprised to receive professional quality photos as well. My kitties and I will choose Juli every time!”


“Alex was very easy work with. He let us know each time he came to our home & had a nice update on how the pup's were doing. We also appreciated the photo's he sent us. He made it very comfortable for us to go away for a few days. We would definitely have Alex come watch our pup's again.”


“Erica was very professional and took great care of our cat for a week while we were out of town. I would recommend her to anyone looking for prompt and professional pet care. Thank you again, Erica!”



“Emily was attentive and caring for our cat while we were away. She stayed in contact and let us know of any issues right away. She is responsible and very friendly and we would not hesitate to recommend her.”


“Alyssa is incredible! I got so many pictures and updates of our puppy. I knew she was well taken care of during the outings. I can’t recommend enough and will definitely use Alyssa in the future :)”


“Kyle took great care of our cat while we were out of town! Played with her, brushed her, got her to sit on his lap which we’re sure she loved. He also kindly brought in our mail and watered our plants. Thanks Kyle!!”


“Riga was AMAZING! She came to watch our golden retriever for us last minute when our normal sitter fell through. She sent a picture update, took our dog on a walk, and she even did the dishes. You could tell she gave our pup a lot of attention because usually when we get home shes very excited and a little crazy, but when we got home she greeted us and seemed very content and almost like she didnt even notice we were gone! 5 stars for Riga, we will for sure use you again if we get the chance!”


“Laura has taken great care of our dogs multiple times on short notice. She is very responsive and the dogs are always tired from playing during their visit with her. Would highly recommend her to anyone!”


About: Hi there! :) I’m passionate about taking care of animals and always make sure they feel comfortable when they’re with me. I've helped raise a labradoodle and terrier for over five years. I’ve been around dogs and puppies most of my life so I’m completely comfortable with them, large or small. I’ve also taken care of dogs with bigger personalities and also much more tame ones. I’m extremely patient around any dog and always go out of my way to make them feel comfortable. I work full-time and am mostly remote. My schedule is also very flexible. I finish work on the weekdays at 4pm, and my WFH schedule allows me to watch your furry pal during/after my shift. I know that it can be tough to leave your pup overnight or under someone else’s care so I always communicate with my clients updates or photos of their pups. My biggest priority is also to make sure your pup is comfortable with me. They’re welcome to relax on my couch or bed if they’re staying at my home. I’m available anytime before or during a booking for any questions you may have!

“We booked Audrey to drop-in on our two cats while we were away on a trip. Audrey is friendly, easy to communicate with, and dealt with a couple mishaps from our crazy cats! We were away longer than usual, and Audrey’s updates with photos helped keep us at ease. I’d highly recommend for anyone looking for a new pet sitter!”


About: Hi, I’m Em! I’m a vet assistant with over 10 years of experience caring for animals in clinics, on farms, a zoo, and in rescues. I’ve fostered more than 50 puppies and kittens, providing around the clock care from birth to adoption. Whether it’s a senior dog, a shy cat, or a bouncy pup, I tailor my care to each pet’s needs. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities! I am currently pursuing my Master’s degree online, which gives me a flexible schedule. I’m able to tailor my availability to meet your pet’s needs- including daytime walks, evening visits, and weekend care I prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort above all else. Whether in your home or out on a walk, I create a calm, secure environment where pets feel relaxed and loved. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs, carefully monitoring their behavior and surroundings to prevent any risks. With my years of experience in veterinary care, I understand how important trust is- both between you and me, and between me and your furry family member. I’m committed to providing reliable, attentive care that keeps your pet happy, healthy, and safe every step of the way.

About: Friendly and genuine dog lover 🐾 I have experience taking care of dogs and cats for ~15 years, for friends, family, neighbors, etc. You can rest assured that I’ll give your dog tons of love and affection, and go above and beyond to make them as happy as can be. I’m super flexible- I run my own business and set my own schedule so squeezing in dog walks and dog sitting throughout the week is easy as long as you reach out a little bit in advance. I’ll do whatever is needed to make your dog safe and happy, and make sure nothing is accessible for them that they shouldn't be consuming or playing with. I know the importance of keeping certain dogs active which is why long walks and play time is something I'll always incorporate. Will send photos and videos of your dog throughout our time together to reassure you that they are in great hands and that there is no shortage of love and affection during our time together. :)

About: I've been pet sitting for the past decade for family and friends as well as those I've been recommended to. Every pup has their unique personalities and I've loved meeting every one. I work from home, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I only host one family at a time and I'm quick to communicate dates, times, and availability. I have a fenced yard, so your pup can roam free! There are no restrictions on furniture either, so they can cozy up all they want to. Not a very busy place, can be nice for those older pups or ones with anxiety. Hosting one fam at a time really gives me the opportunity to control the environment & ensures they are my prime focus.

About: I've had dogs in my life since I was 7. Two pug sisters named Maggie and Ginger. I adopted my first dog, a 5-year-old boxer named Lucy. She was special needs, experiencing a myriad of health issues including cardiomyopathy, food allergies, and incontinence. I worked with her to create a life of joy and comfort. My goal was for her ailments to be the furthest thing from her mind. We did nose training together, played hide n seek in the house because long walks winded her, and she became a certified therapy dog because bringing people comfort energized her! Lucy was an accomplished dog, never hindered by her sickness. After she passed, and after my mourning period (she was my soul-dog, after all) I began volunteering at local shelters. I've done 1000s of walks, enrichment training, and would bring dogs out on outings and events to help get them adopted. Now, I would love to help you with your dog(s), whether that's checking in, walking, or just hanging out. I treat dogs like family because they are. My mom calls her two dogs my hairy sisters! I currently do freelance social media work for local animal rescues, so my schedule is very flexible as far as being able to accommodate pet care. I appreciate a checklist! You provide a checklist or any sort of direction, however brief or long, that will guide my way through what needs to be done. I treat your home like I want mine to be treated, leaving it in the same condition I found it in. I was taught to be clean, respectful, and polite. I will tidy up if necessary, I will stick to whatever you ask of me, and if anything is unclear, I will communicate with you as appropriate. My goal is to build a good relationship with you and your pet(s) to ensure my visits are an easy part of your routine.
