Glenn is the best! He loves our dogs and sends the perfect amount of updates! I believe this is the third time we’ve had Glenn stay with the dogs, and we will continue to contact him whenever we need help with the pups!

This is our second time working with Christina, and she is so good with our kitties. I am especially grateful that she was able to help when our flights were delayed coming home to make sure our girls were fed and safe. Thanks again!!

Chris was so great with our dog, Melon! He watched him for a weekend and was so tuned in to Melon’s needs, communicated so well and sent tons of pictures. We felt so at ease knowing our fur baby was being so well taken care of and hope to have Chris back to take care of Melon again in the future!

I'm so grateful for her, as she took my booking last minute since I had an unexpected family emergency come up.

Mont’e was absolutely amazing! He provided excellent care for my cat and dog while house sitting. I was pretty nervous to leave town and Mont’e was super kind and professional. He updated me regularly, took my dog on walks, and even took her to his family’s Christmas Eve celebration (after asking of course) because I was worried about her having separation anxiety! Mont’e treated my pets as if they were his own and when I came back they were both super calm and relaxed because of the great care provided. Mont’e was also super respectful of my home and left it very neat and tidy! Highly recommend Mont’e for all pet sitting needs, I’ll definitely be asking him to come back!

About: Animals have been a part of my life since I was nine years old — and what started as a passion turned into a career. I currently work at an animal hospital as an Animal Care Team Lead, where I’m trusted daily with the safety, health, and well-being of pets of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. From high-energy working breeds to senior dogs who need extra patience, to anxious pups who require calm leadership — I’ve handled it all. My background in both animal daycare and veterinary settings means I’m confident managing group play and behavioral quirks. Your pet won’t just get supervision — they’ll get structured care, enrichment, exercise, and genuine affection. I understand that leaving your pet with someone is a big deal, and I take that trust seriously. Clear communication, updates, and a safe environment are my top priorities. Whether your dog needs playtime, structure, or just a steady, experienced presence — I’m here to provide professional care with a personal touch. I work full-time at an animal hospital, which means I’m around animals every day and very comfortable managing different care routines. My consistent days off are Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, which allows me extended availability for drop-ins, walks, and overnight care. However, I am still available to perform any service every day of the week as long as it's to your furry friends needs. That said, I’m still highly flexible outside of those days. I’m available before and after work for visits, and I do my best to accommodate scheduling needs whenever possible. If you’re unsure about a date or time, feel free to reach out — I’m happy to work with you! Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. Working full-time at an animal hospital has trained me to pay close attention to behavior, body language, and early signs of stress or illness. I take proactive steps to ensure every pet in my care feels secure, comfortable, and respected. I follow each pet’s routine closely — feeding schedules, medication instructions (No injections), exercise needs, and any household rules you have in place. I understand how important consistency is, especially for cats and dogs who thrive on structure. Trust means everything to me. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel connected and reassured while you’re away. When your pet is with me, they’re treated like family — with patience, attentiveness, and genuine care.

About: I’ve been living with and taking care of dogs my whole life and have around a year of house sitting experience including both puppies and seniors. I’m currently a student finishing up my degree online, so I have all day to stay at home with your pups giving them the attention and care they need. I care your pets as if they’re my own. I recognize how important your fur-baby is to you. I currently live with, and help take care of three dogs at home, feeding and walking them regularly, as well as giving them the attention they need.

Angie was awesome. She was very attentive to our kitty that needed daily medication, and gave our three pets, a lot of love and care. We were gone for 10 days and we’ve never left them before for that long. We were so, so happy with the attention to our little loved ones and would definitely hire Angie again. Highly recommend. Angie is very popular, so make sure to make plans in advance.

Madison was great, would love to have her house- and cat-sit again! Phoebe was really happy with her, they made friends after Phoebe’s usual 24 hours of being shy, and the house was immaculate when I returned. I even had a small ice dam issue when I left that Madison kept and eye on and reported its status as is melted.
