“Callie has been truly one of a kind. This is my 2nd time booking with her and needless to say, we’ve found our permanent cat sitter. She’s very easy to book, comes to meet your pet before the actual visit to introduce herself, and is VERY friendly with cats (and dogs)! She sends regular updates, is very punctual with the schedule, spent a great amount of time with our little guy, and sent daily photo updates. She cleaned up the litter on the floor and even updated the water dispenser in our absence. 10/10 would recommend to anyone and will 100% book with Callie again.”


About: Since I was born, I have been around animals, and dreamed to work with them and take care of them.

I am currently working part-time at Ross Dress for Less and volunteer at M.A.R.E when free and, so I have a flexible schedule to pet-sit or even walk your furry family members.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. After rescuing my dog from the shelter, I knew I had a passion for helping animals. I began pet sitting for clients three years ago and take care of animals such as dogs, cats, chickens, tortoises, and horses. I provide walks, feeding, giving medications, bathing, cleaning up after pets, house sitting, and play time. I even provide services such as taking out clients trash, watering their plants, and getting their mail. Anything to make your time away from home worry free! Currently, I have open availability. I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies whenever I am needed. I can do drop-ins, overnights, and walks! When attending a clients home, I ask that the clients provides a list of instruction of exactly what their fur babies need. Each fur baby is different but I provide feeding, walking, clean up, and play time. I will also provide medication to your fur babies if they need it. If you need your trash taken out, plants watered, and mail picked up I can provide that as well.

About: I’ve cared for all kinds of pets—dogs, cats, reptiles, and more—since I was young. I’ve independently house and pet sat for years and always treat every home and animal with love, respect, and reliable care. I’m known for being highly trustworthy, attentive, and great with both energetic pups and shy pets alike. Pet care easily fits into my daily routine. I’m an early riser, so morning feedings, walks, or litter box cleanings are never an issue. I plan my day around check-ins, playtime, and any special needs like medication or grooming. Evenings are reserved for winding down with pets, making sure they feel safe and settled before bed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with the same respect I’d give my own. I follow all instructions closely—feeding schedules, walk times, medications, and routines—while keeping the home clean, secure, and peaceful. I make sure pets feel safe and loved in their familiar environment by sticking to their usual routines and offering plenty of attention, play, and affection. I truly enjoy creating a calm, safe routine for every pet. Whether I’m watching animals in my own home or someone else’s, their care always comes first. I also keep clients updated with messages or photos, so they always know their pets are happy and in good hands.

Jayden K.
“Jayden is the only person I trust with my babies. She truly knows how to care for my dogs. I have a poodle and a chihuahua so they are difficult to manage for most people. My chihuahua Frank often dislikes most people I leave him with, with Jayden being the exception. She always takes extra time out of her day to make sure they are properly cared for, along with making sure they are well behaved. She used to watch my dogs for me during my trips which I was out of town for roughly a week at a time. She is super bubbly and sweet and doesn’t mind a little mess, which makes my dogs love her. I recommend her to all the dog mom’s and dad’s!”
