My dog had such a great time with Bertie while I was on vacation, she probably didn’t even notice I was gone. Seeing the pictures of their day together made me happy and I will rebook in the future!

Rhiana was wonderful with our two kitties. Often shy, they emerged from their shells right off the bat with her warm “Cat Mom” energy. Received great communication each visit and pics to let us know all was swell. Came home to two very indifferent cats who barely missed us!

Danielle was great with Cat! She sent pictures and texted an update during her visit. I was happy to know Cat had such good company. I've already booked more time with Danielle and would highly recommend her care.

About: I have a large family dog that I have been responsible for since I was about 10 years old. She has since gotten older so I have experience with a senior dog and giving any sorts of medication (and the peanut butter necessary to get her to take it). I am no stranger to having to clean up any accidents in the house so that is a non-issue for me. I am also open to taking care of other animals like rodents or turtles or other cage creatures. I am a true and passionate animal lover! My schedule is very flexible at the moment. I am happy to give as much or little time needed for the pets. I can figure out any scheduling and details necessary with clients. I am never loud coming into a home. I always let the pets come to me unless they are hiding on purpose. I take care instructions very seriously and will follow everything exactly and will reach out if I have questions about the best way I can care for your fur friend.

Karlee is a great sitter! She’s super friendly and responsive to visits. She’s done a great job at doing house visits for my puppy to tire him out and keep him engaged when I’m busy. Would definitely recommend!

Amy was quick to respond and was available when I made my request at the last minute. This is the second time Amy has watched my cats and I will happily ask her to cat sit again.

About: I’ve owned many dogs over my lifetime. From a Min Pin to Collies, Retrievers and Pointers. I have taken care of friends and relatives animals while they were out of town. I have done long time sits (several weeks) to daily drop ins. I’m retired so I have lots of time to care for your pets. I love taking walks and getting to know each animal whether it’s to come hang out and play, feed etc or take for long or short walks. I don’t have any dogs or cats living with me now due to my landlord not allowing pet ownership. They don’t mind if I bring a dog here for short periods.

About: I have been taking care of friends, family members animals for over 2 years now while attending college. I love giving care to their furry friends while they are away. Having animals myself I understand the need to have a trustworthy caretaker while away! I look forward to become your pets new friend! I currently work 30/32 hours a week usually during the early mornings or mid afternoons. I have usually offered early morning walks or evening walks to those in need! I am able to do overnights as well, but always check to make sure the animals will be okay while I work! I have always tried to take care of the pets in the exact way the client has asked. I am able to sit in during meals, stay to get energy out, or even squirrel watch! I always try to make the animals stay in the routine that they have known!

About: I have taken care of dogs for a friend for a few years now. I also have experience with taking care of a local family’s 2 sweet dogs. I have been their go to for a few years now. I also have experience as a pet owner, I grew up with dogs my entire life, at one time we had a pack of 8. My goal is to ease your pet’s anxiety when their favorite person is not there. I will work to make sure your pet has the structure they need, the enrichment they crave, and the love they deserve. I do work full time Monday -Friday 8am-5pm so I am free on weekends and happy to stay with the animals when I’m not working. I can also check in on my lunch hour to ensure they have the restroom breaks they need and the enrichment time. I am very attentive when I am caring for you furry family members. I make sure that they have fresh water and get fed at the correct times. I always send photo updates each time the pets go outside or eat. I am very flexible with what is required if you’re able to be flexible and understanding of my work schedule.

Dakota met us and our GS before we left town. We were very pleased and comfortable leaving our pet under his care. He didn't just drop in to feed and walk him, he also played with him. We will never use boarding. We will differently use Dakota again when needed.

About: With years of experience caring for dogs and cats, I offer a loving and fun environment for your pets. I understand cats need a clean space, so I'm dedicated to keeping their litter box fresh. I'm also great at keeping dogs active and happy with lots of walks and play! I have open availability Monday through Friday and can be flexible to fit your pet’s routine. I’m available for dog walks and cat drop-ins throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I do my best to accommodate consistent schedules as well as occasional or short-notice requests. I focus on keeping pets safe and comfortable in their own home and routine. During dog walks, I use secure leashing, stay aware of our surroundings, and tailor each walk to the dog’s energy level and needs. For cat drop-ins, I respect each cat’s personality and boundaries while making sure they’re fed, have fresh water, clean litter, and get attention or playtime if they want it. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their pets are safe and cared for

About: I have spent decades caring for dogs—many of them rescues with complex or traumatic histories. I understand that every animal experiences the world differently, and I take the time to learn their individual cues, comfort levels, and needs. I offer in-home pet sitting and structure my schedule around your pet’s established routine. Feeding times, walks, medication, exercise, and downtime are kept consistent to minimize stress while you’re away. I am available for overnight and extended stays. I prioritize clear communication and provide regular updates so you feel confident your home and animals are in good hands.

Kailyn was a lifesaver when I needed a last minute pet sitter. She was very responsive, sent detailed updates and pictures, and had no problem handling my cat's different foods and medications. I would definitely use her services again!
