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.
“Jennifer did an amazing job watching our cats, including managing special diets and medications. Great communication and great attention to detail. Her kindness shows in how she interacted with us and our pets. We will absolutely seek her out again in the future!”
“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!”
“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”
“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! :)”
“Patricia is a wonderful dog sitter. Molly went for walks and enjoyed being with her. Patricia brought a dog toy for her to play with and Molly had fun with that too. Thank you so much, Patricia!”
About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. From our neighbors cat who we invited to our birthday parties as kids, to the 3 precious dogs I’ve had the honor of being a mama to. Nash (weimer) left us in 2019 at 12 years old. We just said goodbye to Oliver (Puggle) in August of 2025 at 17 years old! And we currently still get to love on Riggins, our 10 year old Frenchie. With Nash and Oliver living such long lives, I have experience caring for all ages, from puppies to seniors. I work from home full time as a sales executive, so my flexible schedule allows me to step away as needed for care. I am also an early riser, so I am available to breakfast feed an walk early. My dogs are my babies, so I know the importance of having someone to rely on. If you need me to drop in and/or feed or give medicine, potty break/walk etc. at a specific time, I understand how important it is to not be late. If they need something at 3:30, it will be 3:30, not 3:45.
“Nicole is our go to pet sitter! She cares so much about our pets and always goes above and beyond in their care while we are away! We can always tell how happy our pup is when she sends us pictures of her playing in the dog run.”
“This is the second time that Brittany has taken care of my cat while I was away. I highly recommend her to all pet parents, you will not be disappointed! I look forward to her taking care of him in the future.”
“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.”
“Katie is wonderful. Katie took time out of her own schedule to meet and greet our family and puppies. It is very clear that she loves dogs and they love her too! She is very kind and compassionate with our 2 puppies! Katie is very flexible and willing to go the extra mile to make sure that you and your fur babies are happy! She sends pictures and updates while watching your pup which is so reassuring. We have already booked her for more drop in visits for our 2 puppies.”

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!
Elizabeth was amazing with Bella during her drop in visit. She was on time, very communicative, and clearly cared about Bella. The updates and photos were so appreciated and gave me total peace of mind. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her.
