“Greg is amazing! He was able to help us out last minute and our Kenzie loved him. He spent time with both my cat and dog and gave them cuddles and attention when we were away. Highly recommend him!”


“Tahlese is outstanding! Great communication, very responsible, timely and personable. She took wonderful care of the kitties and we look forward to having her again!”

“Josephine was wonderful! She was kind, caring, compassionate, and quick to respond if any issues arose. She was professional and treated my cats like they were her own. I would absolutely use her services again in the future!”


“Best pet care I have ever experienced, starting from the moment we met. Thank you Marilee for your unparalleled care and flexibility, it made all the difference!”

“Madelynne was very attentive and communicative with our two cats, especially Petra who is a little bit more of a handful. She didn’t shy away from handling Petra and her unique situation, and even called us to ensure everything was handled correctly. Then they were all best friends by the end of the visit!”
“Jessica was a great cat sitter! All instructions were followed and she was great at communicating. Skittles seemed very happy upon my return! I would book with her again.”

“Skyler did such a great job catsitting for our two kitties!! She was very communicative and sent pictures while we were gone. Skyler made sure she knew how to administer our cats medications before we left, and we felt confident in her with her past experience. I would definitely recommend Skyler to anyone needing a reliable pet sitter:)”

About: My family has a history of adopting older dogs and rescues with health and behavioral problems, so I have lots of experience with senior dogs and dogs who need extra care and attention. Rover is my full time job. I usually work weekday mornings and afternoons, but I'm happy to work with clients individually to come up with a schedule that works. Let me come to you! I can't accommodate pets in my home or car, so I will come to your home to care for and spend quality time with your furry friends!

About: I love caring for all types of pets! I have experience with dogs, cats, and fish! I love walking, playing and spending time with these cuties! I'm currently a student, so I have a pretty flexible schedule outside of classes and always have my evenings and weekends free for your pets! I love taking care of your pets the way you need! Whether that's walking, putting them outside, spending as much or as little time each individual pet needs, because I know sometimes they just want me to go away, even if I would love to play with them more!

About: Ever since I was little, I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, bunnies, and even a rooster at one point! Ever since I can remember, animals have always held a special place in my heart. I have two sons of my own, and my goal is to care for your fur babies the way I would want someone to care for mine! I just finished working a summer in Alaska, and currently have no winter job lined up, so your fur baby will have all of my undivided attention, and of course they will be showered in love! I have plenty of free time to hangout with your fur baby, and will treat them as if they’re my own while in my care. My goal is for both you and your fur baby to feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m very attentive when it comes to body language, and always do my best to make sure the comfort of my client and or clients fur baby comes first.
About: I’ve had been taking care of dogs since I was 5 years old. I’ve have multiple dogs at once (4: pitbull, Labrador, 2 Schnauzers) I’ve also been taking care of cats for more than 15 years We're definitely homebodies, so pet care fits perfectly into our daily routine! We love spending our time relaxing at home, which means your furry friends will have plenty of company, attention, and cuddles throughout the day. When house-sitting, we even bring our own Wi-Fi box and gaming console/PC setup, if allowed, so we can enjoy our hobbies while keeping your pets company. We're perfectly happy spending the day at home with your pets, making sure they're comfortable, entertained, and never short on love! I have a fenced in yard, along with a dog and cat who are friendly with other dogs and cats! I however will not be providing boarding at my house
“Hossana was great! She was available on short notice to check on my two cats while I was out of the country. She was responsive and my boys were well taken care of. I am an anxious cat mom and Hossana helped ease my worries while I was away.”

“Savannah was kind, polite and followed all my instructions. My dog loved her right away, despite usually being shy with new people. It's obvious from the photos she sent that my pup was so well loved and cared for during her visits. I would definitely book her again!”
“August was a perfect fit! Our rescue is very sensitive to new people and was immediately at ease during the meet and greet. While we were away, August was patient, kind and sweet whenever Mina would need more alone time or was curious to get to know him better. He was on time, responsive and reliable. We’ll absolutely work with August again in the future!”


About: I grew up with dogs and have cared for them professionally for over five years through pet sitting, dog walking, veterinary hospitals, and boarding/daycare. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels, including seniors, puppies, and those requiring medication. I’m comfortable with drop-in visits, walks, feeding routines, playtime, and overnight care, and I always focus on keeping each dog safe while maintaining the routine they’re used to at home. I enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality and making sure they feel comfortable while their family is away. Pet care is my full-time focus, which allows me to provide flexible availability for my clients. My schedule is built around the pets in my care, and I carefully plan each day to ensure every visit receives the time and attention it deserves. Whether it’s morning, midday, evening, or weekend care, I strive to provide reliable, consistent service while maintaining each pet’s normal routine. My priority is always making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and household routines, and I pay close attention to any changes in behavior or health. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure, clean up after pets, and leave clients’ homes as I found them. I also provide regular photo updates and communication so owners have peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is to treat every pet with patience, compassion, and the same level of care I would want for my own. To ensure the safety of both pets and myself, I require a meet and greet before accepting new clients and may decline bookings if I don’t feel I’m the right fit for a pet’s specific behavioral needs.
About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I have had two registered therapy dogs and have house sat for numerous families. I love all dogs and just want them to be cared for whi families enjoy their time away I’m retired so I have an open schedule and am free for days or weeks depending on your needs. I can housework or host. Just let me know anytime I have a gated yard as well as doggie door access and don’t really crate animals. I let them run free in the house unless otherwise specified
“Daniel is so good! I can't recommend him enough. He loves on my dogs and treats them like his own. They don't get stressed at all when I need to go out of because they aren't cooped up in a kennel with lots of other dogs. They are at home sleeping in their beds and loving the attention Daniel showers on them. Gives me peace of mind knowing they are in good hands.”

August gives both kitties the kind of attention they want. One is playful and the other is quiet but loves his rubs. They each get what they need and seem quite content when we are gone. Communication is easy and when our return flight was delayed, a quick text was: sent and the kitties got an extra visit. Have been very happy with the care August gives our two little ones. Definitely a 5 star.

Jen is just the best. Words can’t describe how much she genuinely cares about animals and goes above and beyond to make sure they are well taken care of. Its so nice to have peace of mind when I’m traveling to know my sweeties are in such good hands. I very highly recommend her !!

Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my cat for the three weeks I was away! I really appreciated your updates, attention to detail, and how well you cared for her. I came home to a happy, healthy kitty, and that gave me so much peace of mind. Thank you!
