“Teri was excellent with my great Dane mix dog. She was great with him, and got him to eat when he normally doesn't. He was perky and happy when we got home and I could tell he didn't feel lonely while we were gone.”

“Cheyenne was great with my cat and very easy to communicate with. Everything went smoothly, and I truly appreciate her care. Will definitely choose her again next time!”

“Lori dropped in to care for my cat for a long weekend. She did a great job, I really appreciated the detailed descriptions on my cat’s mood each day and the pictures.”

“Wonderful and thorough care. I never worried about my boy while gone for a week. She anticipated needs even I did not (full litter box change) and went above and beyond in other ways as well. She sends lots of updates which was a comfort while away. She cared for my boy cat Zissou as if her own. 1000% recommend! She will be who I use for any future needs.”

“Kimberly did a great job. She was prompt and kept me well informed on how my babies were doing, including photos. I would highly recommend her services and I would definitely schedule her again.”


About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life including cats, dogs, fish, rabbits and even goats! I have previous experience petting sitting for my neighbors and have always been a reliable pet sitter for friends and family. I’m currently working remotely so I am available most weekdays and all weekends. I am also available to take on more unusual times such as very early in the morning or night! I am comfortable navigating the needs of all pets such as play time, outside time and walking. I am a fast learning that can easily fit into your schedule

About: I have been taken care of dogs and cats for almost as long as I can remember. I have been a reliable person for friends and family when they need someone to watch their pets. I have the availability to stay at the house or just do daily drop ins. I am currently job hunting and available whenever I'm needed. I occasionally help my sister with her kids and a family friend clean her house, but I am able to work around those. I have the availability to keep your fur babies company overnight, for the day, or whatever is needed. I am open and know my schedule ahead of time.
“Ashley was so great with our pups! The dogs got into something before she visited & she was so helpful getting their mess cleaned up. We are grateful for Ashley!”

About: Ever since I was little I’ve worked with all sorts of animals. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, fish hamster’s, birds, reptiles, and even lizards! I am studying for phlebotomy so I would love to study along with your pets! My weekends are usually an option! I will make time for your pets. I write down a to-do list of the day, to make sure I do my absolute best to take care of all of your pets
“Ross was very prompt and informative when I contacted him regarding visits for my 2 dogs. We were able to schedule and meet the same day! Very pleased to find Ross and the dogs are looking forward to more visits!”

About: Caring for pets has been an integral and rewarding part of my life, yielding a robust skillset perfectly suited for in-home animal care. My comprehensive experience, which includes fostering over 20 dogs and working directly at an animal rescue, has equipped me with exceptional proficiency in behavioral observation, managing specialized routines, and quickly establishing trust with animals in a new or private setting. My expertise spans various temperaments and breeds, from high-energy puppies requiring consistent training and socialization to elderly cats needing patient, gentle handling and comfort. I am highly comfortable providing detailed, individualized care. I pride myself on my ability to quickly understand an animal's non-verbal cues and maintain their sense of routine and security within the comfort of their own home, ensuring their physical and emotional well-being remains the absolute top priority while providing clear, professional communication to their owners. My current commitments and demands provide me an ideal schedule that will allow for me to focus on providing quality in-home care care to your furry family members. My goal is to provide a worry-free experience for you while you are away. Daily Updates: I send regular updates (usually after each key visit) via text or a preferred app. These updates include photos and/or videos so you can see your pet happy and healthy. Detailed Log: I maintain a log noting the time of feeding, walks, potty breaks (and noting any unusual stools), and medication given. This ensures consistency for multi-day bookings and provides a record for the owner. Immediate Notification: In the unlikely event of any noticeable change in behavior, appetite, or health, I contact the owner immediately, following the pre-arranged emergency protocol. In short, I treat your pets and your home with the passion, consistency, and respect I would give my own family

“I highly recommend Claire! She’s very considerate, reliable, and very great in communication! Everyday besides refilling food water and cleaning litterbox, she checked on whether my cat Pirate is doing well, paid special attention to his mood, and updated me with photos. I came back with everything in order and a happy kitty. I will not hesitate to rely on her again next time!”

“Very happy I found and hired Karen. She put my mind at ease having her care for my Bella baby. Bonus is that she's a retired RN. She really cares for the pets she takes care of and treats them as if they're her own. I will definitely hire her again.”
“Megan was absolutely amazing! She dropped in twice a day for four days for our two pups and our cat. She was on time, communicated with us during every visit, and sent us the best pictures. She also administered our dog’s medicine and played ball with them each time. I highly recommend Megan and will definitely love for her to watch our pets again!”

“Lizz came by twice a day to take care of our three cats while we were away. One of our cats needed a daily inhaler, and she handled it wonderfully. The cats loved playing with Lizz, and having her there gave us such peace of mind knowing our fur babies were well cared for. We will definitely book with her again!”

About: I grew up as a kid taking care of our family dog, taking her on walks, playing with her outside, and all the other things that come with dogs. I now have several cats and play with them, clean their litter, and everything that a cat needs and loves. I eventually would love a dog of my own one day and want the experience to prepare myself! I work at a school and have the summer off, so I currently have all the time in the world and most days and times available. In my home, I make sure to give all of my pets attention throughout the day. When they want pets, I give them pets; when they want to be left alone, I give them space. They come to me for love and affection and I love them with my whole heart.
