About: I have 3 cats and 2 mice, so I have a lot of experience taking care of cats and small animals. I love dogs and have pet-sat for my friends with small and medium size dogs I work a full time job Monday - Friday. I am available to do drop-ins before 7:30am or after 4:30 pm on weekdays. I am always available in the evenings or weekends. I will follow whatever guidelines the owner's give. Otherwise, my base care is to give dogs 2 walks a day and at least 30 minutes of playtime for both dogs and cats. Ensure the pets are fed and gone potty/clean litterboxes.
“Eddie was fantastic! My girls fell in love with him instantly and he sent me updates during the entire weekend. I felt really good about leaving them in his care :)”
“We had an amazing experience with Allyson! From the start, she was communicative, reliable, and clearly cared about our two dogs' well-being. Both pups were so well taken care of, and we loved receiving updates and pictures while we were away. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. We’ll definitely be booking with Allyson again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“jasmine did an absolutely wonderful job with my three pups. i have two mini-aussies and an aussie/husky mix, so three high energy and high velcro dogs. she sent me lots of pictures and seemed to really bond with them while i was away. aussies definitely need you to prove that you’re worthy of their trust. i am rather type A about my dogs’ routine and very verbose, but she followed my instructions to a tee and kept me updated throughout the day. i have gps collars that count their steps and sleep. their goal is usually 20k steps. one of my dogs was hitting 60k/day while she was there and i greatly appreciate her putting in the time and energy to make my dogs happy and relaxed. i will definitely be reaching out to jasmine whenever i need a dog sitter.”

She was responsive, informative, and put me at ease. We will 100% use her again!!”
“We highly recommend Sarah. She watched our dog over night for a weekend in June and went above and beyond for him. She sent many pictures and videos of him and it was clear he was having a blast and was well taken care of in our absence.

We will definitely be working with her again!”

About: Over the years I have had several cats. They have their own unique personalities and are very loving. My last cat I lost due to cancer, Sam was loved and still miss him greeting me at the door. I feel strongly that if you don’t treat your animals as family you shouldn’t have them. Animals love unconditionally which makes them very special. unconditionally which makes them very special. I am retired which allows me time to be flexible within your needs for your pet/pets. I am available everyday except Saturday the exception would be if I am taking care of your pet for the week I will include Saturday as well. I will take care of your pet as I would my own. I will give your pet the attention beyond what is needed. I know your pet will miss his/her master however I will ease this by playing with them, petting and reassuring their safety and make sure they eat. Your instruction will be followed completely. I will communicate after each visit so you will have peace of mind.
