Cohlee really saved us in a last minute request to come and take care of my two boys multiple times over the weekend. I received great communication, photos, and confirmation the dogs were eating. My mind was at ease and I was able to enjoy a last minute vacation because of Cohlee!!!

About: I’ve been around animals all my life (born and raised on my family farm in Pennsylvania). My family has always had a dog and as an adult, I’ve had 4 Golden Retrievers. I absolutely love dogs. :) I am recently retired from the tech industry so my schedule can be very accommodating. I am available as early as 8am and up to 7pm. When I meet any new animal, I always allow them to greet me when they are ready. I will sit on the floor and allow them to feel comfortable before I approach them.

About: Hi, I’m Kim! I’m a 30-year-old lawyer who works from home and has a deep passion for caring for animals. I have two wonderful dogs of my own and have fostered several dogs over the years, giving me plenty of experience with different breeds and temperaments. With over 15 years of pet care experience, I offer overnight sitting, daily walks, and plenty of love and attention for your pets while you’re away. I’ve also cared for cats, including newborn kittens that needed nursing, so I’m comfortable providing specialized care for pets of all ages. Whether it’s daily walks or extended overnight stays, your pets will feel safe, loved, and well cared for in my hands. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members! I work from home on MWF so I am very flexible with dog walking availability! As far as overnight stays in my home, I do not have any day limitations. If dogs are crate trained, I will leave them in the crate if I am leaving the house just to make sure they feel safe. I have a closed in backyard. For new dogs, I will keep them on the leash the first time they are down there just to gauge their temperament.

Samantha was absolutely amazing with Quinn! I can tell she genuinely loves and cares for animals and makes yours feel loved and doted on. She was reliable, professional, and made sure to keep me updated with messages and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. My quinn was loved on, well cared for, and extremely comfortable with her from the moment they met. Samantha went above and beyond to make sure all of his needs were met, and I couldn't have asked for a better pet sitting experience. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable pet sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again!

I have nothing but gratitude for Libby taking care of Crush. She showed up everyday, on time and was very communicative. She spent quality time with my pup and all the walks and meals helped us so much as we were traveling. She was very flexible with adjusting visits as we needed. We can tell Crush really enjoyed his time with her. Will definitely be booking her again!

We had an unusual pet sitting request with a stray cat we are transitioning into a domesticated indoor cat. Amanda was incredibly patient with the process and was able to successfully provide some excellent care and what appeared to be some very needy cuddles to our new member of the family, courtesy of the cat distribution system. She communicated well and provided adequate and occasionally entertaining photos. I would highly recommend Amanda for any pet care. She was absolutely terrific!

Micaela was so amazing with our cats!! She got our notoriously shy cat to come out and eat out of her hand on one of her first visits, which has never happened before! We really appreciate her making them feel so comfortable and safe while we were away. Definitely recommend booking with Micaela! :)

Chrissy did a phenomenal job at caring for my cat despite door issues (my fault) that almost blocked her from entering my apartment. Even with this problem, she wanted to make sure we can get this fixed as she didn’t want my cat to go uncared for. She had great communication, and sent pictures of my cat. I really appreciated this great effort she went through to check on her!
