About: I have cared for animals all my life! Cats and dogs have a special place in my heart and I am patient and gentle. I have cared for kittens and senior cats as well as a dog with a traumatic upbringing. I work full time and am able to care for your pet family after 5 pm on weekdays or anytime on weekends. I am a natural early riser and am comfortable taking early morning walks. Weekends are open for overnight or frequent visits. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I am comfortable safely harnessing and waking dogs. I am mindful of dog etiquette while walking and encountering other dogs.
“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”

“Patricia did a great job with my nervous little dog, Allie, who warmed up to her pretty quickly. She was very understanding of/compassionate toward Allie. I will definitely be booking her services again soon!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I never had a dog or cat growing up so I was always trying to find ways to spend time with others pets, including asking the neighbors if their dogs could come out and play! I have a dog of my own now who just turned 10 and have a cat as well. I work from home so happy to get out of the house and meet new pets friends! I am currently working full time from home. My schedule is pretty flexible so I can be available for drops ins and walks on both week days or weekends. I’m very detail oriented and love to make animals feels safe. Just let me know best practices for your pet so I can give them the same level of care you give them!
“Adelaide was great at communicating and wrote a very detailed report about her visit with our pups. When a problem arose she promptly communicated and found a solution. We loved the photos she sent and will gladly have her back!”

“Nicole took wonderful care of our three pets while we were away! Even our grumpy antisocial cat didn't seem to mind her, and she played with our dog when she visited, which was greatly appreciated!”

“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!!”

“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.”

“Joey has been fantastic. I left for a 3 week trip and she has stopped in twice a day to check up and hang out with my cat (Peaches). She goes the extra mile. Keeping me updated on how Peaches has been doing. Cleaning up any accidents outside the litter box. Taking the garbage out and bringing it up from the driveway on garbage day. She also brought in any packages left at our door. If I need a sitter in the future she will be the first I go to. I highly recommend considering Joey if you’re looking for a sitter you can count on!”


“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!”

About: I have had dogs around all my life. We have had the pets of many friends overnight over the course of the past 10 years. We love pets and will love your like our own while you are away. My wife and I work full time from home. We love to take walks during the day at all times of the year. We also have a 14 year old son and 10 year old daughter who will give lots of love. We have a large house with 2 active kids to keep your pets company. Our neighborhood has many friendly dogs and access to paths for walking.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs long term, overnights, and the occasional pop in to feed or let out. A roommate of mine in college had a dog who became my best friend! I was always happy to help and take care of her when her owner was away. I’m currently working part time and always stay active! I can offer dog walking, going to the dog park, and drop ins. I’m available in the mornings, afternoons, and some evenings. While I do not currently live with an animal, I’ve cared for past roommates pets for weekends, walks, and daytime activities. Outside of my home, I’m always happy to follow any instructions and do my best to ensure a trusting relationship and your pets safety.
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.
“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!”

“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! :)”

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.
Taite was so wonderful with my boy Thor! My first time using a service like this and she was very friendly, professional and provided good photos and information for us while we were on vacation. Will absolutely use her again if I find myself in need of a pet sitter!
