“Jessica has been amazing! We had an extended trip for our wedding and we got daily pictures, updates and felt as though our kitten was treated so well!”
“Took great care of my 2 cats. We were in the middle of a move and she made sure the cats had all the food and toys that they wanted at their disposal the whole time.”
“Sent good photos and was great with Precious!”
“Alyssa did a wonderful job taking care of our two cats for four days. I appreciated her messages and daily photographs of the kitties. Even our scaredy cat approached her and accepted treats, a big surprise and testament to the quality of her care. Our cats did not give us the cold shoulder upon our return, as they usually do; it would seem that they also give Alyssa high praise.”
“Thomas was very communicative throughout his visits. My cats were in good hands and I won't hesitate to use Thomas again when I need a sitter.”
About: My adult daughter brought home a pup 4 years ago and I have been forever changed. I now get the unconditional love thing. I want to be around animals more than I do people!!! SO I am relatively new at it but very enthusiastic and want to help the owners. For the summer, I wanted a little more freedom in my life so I am choosing to try pet care for three days a week, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Currently, I am not available for weekends - although there might be an occasional weekend I might be available. I am happy to care for pets in your home and will adhere to all your guidelines! I would also love to care for your dog in my home, although it is rather small.
“Angelina was great, stopped in to check on our 5 cats twice a day while we were away. We came back to kitties that were as happy and healthy and cared for as we left them, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book Angelina again.”

“Josephine took excellent care of my elderly cat, Lucy, while my family and I were traveling for 2 weeks. She visited our house daily to give Lucy her medication, snacks, and purr-filled couch hangouts. I would definitely rebook in the future! Thank you, Josephine 😸”
“Cindy was able to make a couple of visits to take our dog out on fairly short notice. She went above and beyond our expectations by taking Ollie out for a nice long walk both times. I would definitely ask her to take care of Ollie again.”

“Everything was taken care of as we discussed at our meet and greet”
About: I've had a perfect gentleman Australian Cattle Dog for 15 years. My wife and I are now raising a 5 year old Shihtzu/Pekinese mix. I had lived with various other dogs through my 20s. In my younger years, my family had quite a few cats. I've worked at a Pet Hotel as a dog bather/day-camp manager for a couple years. At the day-camp I'd have the responsibility of 20+ animals. With my history I'm very patient and understanding with all animals. My schedule is very flexible. My wife works from home and is also an animal lover. She is very sweet and kind and is the best dog mom I know. I have a fenced in yard on about 1/3 of an acre. There is also a 14lb Shih Tzu/Pekingese mix that would love to play with your pup. If you're dog is agressive with other animals, my house may not be the best spot. Your dog could expect as much outside time as needed here with lots of love.
About: I've taken care of many different types of animals including dogs, cats, birds, pigs, guinea pigs, and rabbits. They've been all different breeds and sizes. I am willing to travel to your home so that your pet can stay in a familiar and safe environment for them. I work full time during the summer but am available throughout the day to stop at the house when needed and am available for overnights. I like to meet with potential clients beforehand so that they can get to know me and that I can also learn more about their pets, house, and typical schedules. This creates a foundation of trust that is important to my business.
“Haley was great! We have four cats, one of which requires a daily transdermal medication, and two of which are on special diets. We use microchip feeders, each one getting filled with different foods and portions, and requiring cleaning every few days, as well as bowls that need daily washing. It can be a lot to handle all the intricacies, but she did great with all of it, while still feeding our aquariums and watering a few plants, scooping 3 litter boxes, and keeping three water fountains filled. And still having time to sit and visit and play with the cats! She is quick to respond to any messages you might send. We felt assured that all our babies received care and attention. We would be happy to have Haley cat (and plant and fish) sit for us again!”
“Lindsey was wonderful! She communicated so well and treated my pups with such kindness and care. She sent videos and pictures and made sure they were comfortable. I would highly recommend her!”
“Hannah did such a great job getting our shy golden doodle to trust her, and has given her both exercise and cuddles! We are so excited to have found her.”
About: I’ve been taking care of other families animals for about 4 years now. I have consistently watched animals for the same families, and have picked up more jobs along the way. I’m currently unemployed, so my schedule is very flexible! Let me know what type of schedule works for you and your animal and we can make it work! I am very comfortable walking dogs of any size. I have grown up with big strong dogs. I love playing with animals and engaging them to make them happy!
About: I’ve had a dog in my household since I was about 8 years old so basic animal care is easy for me. I also currently have a 2 year old puppy and 4 yr old toddler pup as well as a 4yr old cat. My first dog in the family just passed last yr she was an old girl, but gave me new experiences with an older dog. My cousin has me watch her dog most times she’s out of town and other family members and friends have asked me as well. I always loved animals since I was 3 working with them in some way has always been a passion to me and I hope one day I can expand that. I’m currently working full time, but love to slip in some animal care when possible. My passion has been working with animals since I was three and this seems as a good start for my ladder. I do have a medium size puppy who loves dogs as well. So if your dog is pet friendly a play mate is always great for the amount of energy she has! I like to try and be strict when it comes to basic training with my puppy because I want him to have respect for other people and dogs. So if given certain commands I will help enforce your skills you’ve worked on with your animal. I use stay, sit, no jumping, lay down, leave it, and here with my dog so if you also do that’s normal commands for me.
