About: I’ve been taking care of animals ever since I can remember. From feeding my extended family’s pet to walking dogs and staying over night as an adult. Pet care is always a part of my daily routine. I have 2 indoor cats and 2 stray cats that come everyday to eat and lay around. I can easily make time to tend to other pets I tend to other pets with love attention, make them at ease as it can be a stressful time for pets when human parents are away from home.
About: Hi, I'm Mia! A lifelong animal lover with over 15 years of animal care experience. I'm skilled in managing various breeds and species, administering medication, and providing engaging walks for both energetic pups and seniors. I am also Pet First Aid/CPR certified with background in Veterinary Medicine. I am committed to building trusting relationships with pets and their owners. I'd love to meet you and your fur babies! I am currently available on Tuesdays/Thursdays/Fridays/Saturdays/ and Sundays anytime after 9am. So I have plenty of time to make sure your babies get the care they need! When caring for your pets in your home I am more than happy to cater to their needs no matter what it may be!

“Shelby was really great with our cats. Responsible, on time, and able to handle obstacles along the way! This was our first time using Rover and she made the process very easy for us. Would use and recommend her to anyone!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have raised and helped raise multiple dogs from puppyhood, with experience across all sizes and energy levels. I’m confident caring for puppies, adult dogs, and seniors who may need extra patience and structure. What sets me apart is real-world experience and reliability. I provide calm, attentive care and make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I work full-time Monday through Friday, but I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be available for dog walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. This flexibility enables me to provide dependable, attentive, and consistent care for your pets while accommodating scheduled visits as needed. At this time, I offer dog walking and drop-in visit services. I focus on providing safe, attentive, and enjoyable care while following each dog’s individual routine, energy level, and specific needs. My goal is to make every visit a positive and comfortable experience for both you and your pet.
“Amber was absolutely awesome. My 2 Dobermans felt so comfortable with her, she gave me updates every time she was there feeding/walking them, also sent updated pictures of them. We are so grateful and happy to finally found someone to care for our pups while we are away. 10 ⭐️”
“Kaitlyn did an excellent job pet sitting for my cat Cazzy. This is the second time I have used Kaitlyn and highly recommend her. She followed my directions and did a wonderful job checking on my cat for 2 weeks. Thank you, Kaitlyn!”
About: I am an animal lover of all kinds but dogs hold a special place in my heart. I am a mom of 3 boys and 2 fur babies. Goose is a Australian Heeler mix who is very smart, playful and always keeps me on my toes. Sadie is a Yellow Lab Mix who is the most gentle,sweet,and playful girl.Both of my pups were adopted from the shelter and if I could adopt more I would. Since I am limited to two caring for your animals helps to love all the animals without creating a small farm at home. I love walking, hiking, and being outdoors in our beautiful city. One fun fact about me is I have found and reunited at minimum 9 dogs in the past couple years. I seem to be a canine magnet. I hope to get a chance to meet your pet and see what kind of adventures we can have. I am have been a stay at home mom for 13 years and during that time I have volunteered at my children's schools. Now that they are older it has opened my schedule up during the week and some weekends. I have a fenced yard in a nice calm neighborhood that is built for safety. The dogs are welcome to hang out with the family but I am also comfortable kenneling.
“Maureen came to my place when I had to be away for an overnight trip. She took AMAZING care of my kitty Edmund by making sure he took his meds. She came armed with cat treats and a pill popper. I love how prepared she came. She is an experienced animal sitter and I will definitely book her again.”
About: Family and friends have entrusted me to watch their pets as I have grown up with them myself. We have a dog and cat at home, both of whom are my top priority. I enjoy walking, playing, and most importantly, giving them the attention they so much deserve. Because I am a college student, breaks between classes make pet-sitting and walking convenient. I am also available during scheduled holiday breaks and in the summer. At your home, I am flexible with your pet’s needs. Whether outside or in, I can be your dog’s partner in crime (while safety comes first) and keep them company.
“Loren was so great and helpful while we were traveling! She was responsive the entire time we were gone and she gave our kitty the meds she needs every day. She gave them treats and looked after them with lots of care, we will absolutely contact her again should the need arise :)”
“Great repeat sitter for our almost 5yo dog and 15yo cat. Came home to our tupperware we used for the pet food washed and out in the drainer. Thank you. Will definitely use again.”
“Alexis is the absolute best. I LOVE looking at the photos and how happy Carter is during the visit. He adores her and all the time spent cleaning & playing & feeding him is so appreciated.”
“Kira has been patient and kind in getting my senior cat to warm up to her - she's great with communication, and I love getting pictures and knowing he's safe and happy when I'm away.”
“Michelle was amazing! She was super attentive and clearly cared so much about my pets. She kept me updated and sent the cutest pictures, which made me feel really comfortable while I was away. I could tell my babies were well taken care of and happy. I would definitely hire her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter :)”

McKenzie took great care of our cats, Pepper and Oscar, while we were away. She did drop-in visits, made sure they were fed and checked on, and kept us at ease the whole time. We came home to two happy cats and everything in great shape. Would definitely book her again!
Victoria was amazing with our cat! She was prompt and came at the same time everyday to feed and play with our girl. I got tons of videos/photos, along with very detailed notes about how she was and how the visits went. I will definitely rebook with her in the future and encourage you to reach out to her for your fur babies! Thank you so so much again for everything!
Shelby and Dalton were amazing! They did an initial meet and great with our cat prior to the scheduled drop in visits. They were thorough during the visits and were very good sports when our cat was being feisty. They even brought out/in our trash bins when asked. Would definitely recommend.
