About: I specialize in attentive, stress-free cat care, with a deep understanding of feline behavior and needs. I’ve also cared for dogs and know how to ensure they feel safe, seen, and comfortable. My calm presence and attention to detail set me apart when it comes to compassionate, reliable pet care. My schedule allows for catering to all of a pet's needs: feeding, grooming, walking, playing and enrichment, medication administration, etc. I can also do multiple drop-ins per day/extended drop-ins for pets that need company throughout the day. I live in an apartment complex, so I would not be able to host your pet in my home, but I have reliable transportation and would love to come to you!
About: I'm very expierienced in caring for a veriety for animals. I currently have 2 horses, 2 cats one being a Bangle and one a Tabby . I also have an Anatolian shepared I'm retiered and my schedule is very flexable and would love to help you feel safe with caring for your fur babies while your away I can assure you of not only caring for your loved fur babies, I will respect your home as if it were mine with providing their care as you requested.
“Melissa sat with my dog Stella yesterday afternoon. She arrived on time, was loving and attentive to Stella and I felt totally confident that she would be able to handle any emergency that might arise. Also, Stella loved her! I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again.”
“Shanna was very present and attentive to our senior dog and kept up our home just as we had requested. She was very communicative during our time away and accommodating when we had to shift the schedule around at the last minute. We would book Shanna for housesitting/petsitting again!”
About: I’ve loved caring for various pets over the years. Growing up, I’ve been fortunate to be in a family that adores and cherishes our pets. We currently have 6 (3 dogs, 3 cats). Since I was about 15 years old, I’ve spent time helping family, friends, and neighbors with caring for their pets, including staying at their home to be with their fur babies. I have worked with large dogs (American Bulldogs, Pitbulls, etc.) and I have also dealt with small animals (Yorkies, Minidoodles, etc.). I love pets of all kind and would take great care of yours. My services can be dog sitting at your place, taking them for walks, feeding them, or even if you need someone to just visit them to make sure they are okay! I am currently working on my Master’s. My flexibility is open, aside from Thursday’s and Friday afternoons. Otherwise, I am available during weekdays and weekends at pretty much any time, as long as we plan in a reasonable time frame. I will provide services based on your preferences. As for dog walking, I would prefer your dog have a harness and rope leash as these have historically been the most durable for me. However, I’m not too picky and will adjust based on your pets usual care routines.
“Cassie is a wonderful sitter! This was our puppies’s first experience with a sitter and she was very communicative and reliable. She constantly sent us picture, videos, and updates so we were able to be at ease the whole time. Will definitely book her again in the future!”
“Kim was terrific. She immediately bonded with our pup and our senior cat. She sent messages and pics that put us at ease. Kim is very skilled and knowledgeable which added to our confidence. The house and our furry babies were well cared for. She is tops in our book.”
“Simon made our two dogs feel seen and loved. He went above and beyond with them. They took long walks together and spent quality time playing indoors too. I’m grateful to Simon for all he did. Highly recommend him.”
“They were absolutely great with our pup! Super communicative and trustworthy. Gave us tons of photos as well. Highly recommend, especially to anyone who has any poodles or poodle mixes!”
About: I’m an outgoing, patient, and kind animal lover who takes pride in providing safe, loving, and attentive care for pets. I’ve always believed that animals bring a special joy to life, and I love being able to return that joy through play, gentle companionship, and dependable care. As a busy single mom, I’ve mastered the art of multitasking — snacks packed, homework checked, and now… happy tails walked! Pet care fits perfectly into my daily rhythm, giving me a reason to slow down, enjoy some fresh air, and spread a little extra love (and treats!) to furry friends. It’s my favorite kind of ‘me-time’ — with wagging tails and purring sidekicks included. I live in a cozy, pet-friendly condo that’s perfect for keeping furry friends safe and comfortable. My home is clean, well-kept, and free from hazards, so pets can relax and explore without worry. While there’s plenty of indoor space for lounging and play, one of the best perks is having a dog park just steps away! It’s the perfect spot for exercise, socializing, and a little fresh-air adventure — all under safe, watchful care.
“Sam was an absolutely wonderful home Petsitter for our 2 dogs. She was highly responsible, communicative, took notes, and gave our pups tons of love and attention. At the time of this review, Sam was working out of the house for about 8 hours/day on some days, so I recommend she stay w pets that can manage that. We found her to be very energetic, caring and devoted!”
“Rochelle is a wonderful sitter and I'm so grateful to have found her to watch my dog Gogo. I've hired Rochelle for both short and long-term stays and she is my most entrusted sitter. Dedicated, responsible, caring, and experienced.”

linda n.
“Linda watches my 2 year old Great Dane, Ivan, while I travel a lot for work at my house with the fenced in yard. She made him into a truck dog and he LOVES going for truck rides with her now. She takes such good care of him and she even turns the sink faucet on for him when he prefers a drink of "fresh" water instead of the bowl! She loves him like he's her own, and I always feel comfortable that my baby is being given lots of love and well taken care of when I am away. She is familiar with the e-collar training, and sends lots of great pupdates. His favorite is running along side her four wheeler and playing with her dog. For the right dog who likes a little bit of farm life, Linda is the perfect pet get away.”
