About: Animals are a large part of my life and I enjoy taking care of each one and their particular needs. I have a wide range of experience from livestock to feathered friends and love them all! I am comfortable administering medication, grooming, playing, and loving on indoor and outdoor animals of all ages. I am attentive to detail and will make sure your pets and home are taking care of to the highest degree. Please reach out with any questions and I look forward to giving you peace of mind while you are away. I'm currently on summer vacation, so I will have plenty of time to give your pets attention and love! I am available to drop in for a visit or stay at your home. If I am already booked for a house stay, no worries, I can still check in on your pets! I can send lots of photos and videos to give peace of mind. Your pets will receive the highest quality of care, and I am happy to follow any special instructions for each and every one. I guarantee a save environment and happy animals!
“Tabatha is the best. She’s a very caring, thoughtful caregiver. Super reliable and responsive with plenty of communication and photos. She even kept an eye on the plants. Will definitely be rebooking in the future if she’s available. Thank you so much Tabatha!”
“I’ve been using Brigit as my go-to drop-in sitter for my cat for maybe 2 years now. I’ve recommended her to multiple friends and she is wonderful with my needy senior cat. She communicates clearly and efficiently, follows my sometime changing instructions, and has wonderful availability. I’ll be using her house sitting services for the first time soon and I can only imagine that my kitty will be stoked to have her around. I truly appreciate Brigit and all she has done for my kitty and I.”
“Patrick is so amazing. I am very grateful for his help with taking care of my pup. He is so flexible and accommodating with scheduling. My dog absolutely loves him.”
“Alexus saved the day when she stepped in last minute when a sitter canceled on us. The dogs LOVED her and she was an amazing communicator. Highly recommend.”
“Heaven is just wonderful! When we did our meet and greet, I found that she had read both of my big dogs' profiles. She asked relevant questions about each dog's health and medical needs. She came wearing a small bell so that my blind dog would know where she was--so smart and thoughtful! Upon successive drop in visits, she made sure to follow all directions, gave each dog individual attention and belly rubs (which they loved!) and also made sure they had a backyard visit. She sent pictures and notes following each visit. It is very obvious that Heaven has dog experience and takes their care seriously. I am looking forward to using her services in the future and feel very happy to have found her!”
“There’s no better compliment than a repeat customer. Josephine is phenomenal! She’s the most thorough, compassionate, and loving sitter my cats have ever had. When she walks through my door my cats run right up to her. It provides me a lot of comfort when I’m away knowing that Josephine is caring for my fur babies. I will absolutely be using her services in the future when she’s available.”
“Leah has done an amazing job with both of my frenchies, Zeus and Odin. She stops in to check on them, and since Odin is still a puppy (12 weeks) it can be a lot at times. Her attention to detail and commitment to treating my pups as if they’re her own really shows.”
“Kristen was outstanding! She took fantastic care of our pups and provided excellent updates on every visit, which was greatly appreciated by my wife and I and provided great peace of mind. We will definitely be re-booking with Kristen in the future!”
“I am so grateful to have found Seneca! This was my first trip away from my two fur babies. Seneca was terrific and did a great job taking care of everything! I loved the pictures she sent me each day of my kitties ? and the updates! Thank you again Seneca for doing such a great job!”
“Brooke did a great job of taking care of my fur babies! She sent pictures and kept me updated on how they were doing! I’ll be re-hiring her in the future :)”
“Cassandra took great care of my senior dog. I'm a worrier and Cassandra kept me updated on everything the whole time so I could feel confident that my little buddy was doing fine while I was gone. Loved the report card too!”
“I appreciate how much Patricia loves animals. She is so communicative and responsive when I text her with requests or questions. I’m glad I found her as a pet sitter.”
“Jessica was amazing! Every visit she spent quite a bit of time with Archer and sent 1-2 pictures each day, sometimes showing him eating and sometimes showing him getting cuddles. They clearly got along well, and he seemed happy and healthy when we returned. Jessica is quick to respond to texts, and even checked in with us on the last day to make sure we'd get back on time and Archer would be okay.”

Rita was amazing! I have a diabetic cat, and this was the first time I left her with a sitter. Rita completely put my mind at ease. She sent me twice daily updates and pictures. She was knowledgeable about giving my cat her insulin injections, and she took perfect care of my cat while I was gone. I 100% recommend Rita, and I look forward to booking with her again.

Anika was absolutely wonderful watching my pets while I was away. She took such great care of my two older cats, Khaleesi and Dwight, and also kept up with my younger, very active dog Milo — which is no small task! She was attentive, reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about each of their individual personalities and needs. My older cats were comfortable and relaxed when I returned, and Milo was happy, exercised, and well cared for. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. I would absolutely trust Anika again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter!
Daniel once again was awesome and took great care of our fur babies! We know we have a large fur family, but the care, attention, and love Daniel gives our pets is truly appreciated. We were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying because we knew our pets were in great hands. We highly recommend Daniel to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!
Kristen is absolutely exceptional—we wouldn’t trust anyone else with our dogs. From the very first visit, it was clear how naturally she connects with animals. Our dogs adore her, and that peace of mind is everything to us. She goes above and beyond during every drop-in, always sending thoughtful updates and photos so we can see how happy and well cared for they are. It’s obvious she treats them like her own. What truly sets Kristen apart is her flexibility and reliability. No matter how hectic or last-minute our schedule gets, she is always accommodating and professional. That level of consistency is rare. If you’re looking for someone who is dependable, communicative, and genuinely loves dogs, Kristen is it. We’re incredibly grateful to have found her and won’t be using anyone else.
