“Chrissy is the absolute best !!! ❤️ She took very good care of Avery. He is older and prefers drop in visits. She was on time with the schedule we requested. She sent us updates and pictures. So very thankful”
“Katie frequently walks our dog, has boarded our dog, and has done drop in visits for our cat while we are on vacation. She is fantastic to work with, and we highly recommend!”
“Nicole took wonderful care of my sick kitty while I was on vacation. I was initially concerned about leaving Hazel’s care with someone I didn’t know, but Nicole alleviated those concerns with daily updates, pictures, adjusting to changes in Hazel’s medications, bringing in different foods for Hazel to try urging her to eat, and all of the snuggles! I would definitely trust Nicole to look after my kitty again!”
“Joey was great. She handled the special medicine put kitties needed and fed them separately. She made sure she undid what they needed and provided excellent communication. Thanks!”
“Destiny was absolutely wonderful taking care of our babies! She went out of her way to make sure they were happy and healthy. Highly recommend her and we will be choosing destiny again for our pet watching needs! :)”
“Brittany was wonderful with our 3 cats when we were out of town for 10 days! Our cats required twice daily visits due to medical needs and she was there twice a day all 10 days! Our most timid cat, even showed her the most affection she’s ever shown a cat sitter. Will definitely be reaching out to Brittany when we next need a cat sitter!!”
About: I've taken care of a variety of advanced reptiles since I was twelve, and have experience walking dogs for the better part of three years. I currently work with two senior dogs (lab and golden retriever), and assist with: daily walking, brushing, and feeding. I have a part-time job, but I'm more than happy to spend my afternoons helping with anything pup-related! With proper notice, I have exceptional availability for a variety of tasks! I believe the compassion, respect, and structure are the cardinal rules of pet care, and strive to demonstrate those with each and every client. My ultimate goal is to do what's right for the animals in my care, including fostering a good relationship with the human guardians of my clients.
“I’m so grateful for Jenny accepting a last minute booking request to watch our cat while we were away! She took such great care of Bynx, sent daily updates and photos, and brought in our packages. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter! We will definitely be reaching out again next time we’re away!”
“Aariyana is amazing.. My dogs are excited to see her every day. She is so good at communicating and giving me updates. She has given me so much flexibility with work, now that I know my girls are taken care of, while Im gone.”
“Jennifer was excellent with my very shy stray that we took in. Always on time, always checked in with me. Such a relief to know that my kitty was in great caring hands. Thank you Jennifer!”
About: I've grown up caring for three dogs at once in a busy household, so I’m no stranger to managing multiple pets with love and attention. I’ve also worked at a dog daycare, gaining hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’m especially confident with dog walking and making sure every pup gets the care, exercise, and attention they need. I’m currently working part time at cub so I’ll need to schedule around that but other than that I’ll be free most of the time. I treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I follow your instructions closely and keep your home clean and secure.
“Jordana took perfect care of our high energy dogs when I reached out due to work travel! They clearly enjoyed her presence and were so happy in all of the photos. We will be using her again!”
“Olivia did a wonderful job with our 2 cats while we were gone for a week. She was on time and always spent time with the cats as well as sending a quick note and pics of them. We will use her again if needed.”

Michele is amazing! She took care of my two cats for 2 weeks time frame and did an excellent job! You can tell she truly cares for animals rather than just doing it for the money. My cats warmed up to her and she sent detailed pictures after every visit, and responded promptly to any text messages. I am definitely booking her again when we travel. If you want someone to look after your pets just like you are and not worry about them, Michele is your person.
Alexa does a wonderful job with my senior cat when we're out of town including giving a pill. She leaves helpful notes from the visits that help reassure us that our pet is in good hands. Plus we love the care she puts into a variety of pictures. Definitely recommend!
