“Jen house sat and watched our two cats while we were on vacation for a week. She took great care of our cats and kept in touch with photos and updates, which gave us confidence while we were far away from home. We will rebook Jen again and recommend her to anyone needing their pets cared for.”
“Anna is a super sweet girl and does a great a job with our pups! She keeps our house very clean and our hyper pups are calmer than normal when we return and happy as could be! I am very at ease knowing she takes such good care of everything while we are away. Thanks again for everything Anna!!”
“Erica was an awesome pet sitter! Our dog loved her and she took great care of him. She kept us updated on how he was doing, even through a tornado. Would definitely recommend!”
“Great service! Brad is an excellent communicator, and took great care of our dog and home. He kept me up to date and was always fast to reply. Our house was spotless when we returned and he was very tidy (which was also important to us).”
“Autumn was great with our high energy dogs! She was very attentive to their schedule and routines and provided updates throughout her stay. We came home to happy dogs and a clean home.”
“Haley was wonderful with Piper! She followed all pipers instructions and schedules, and left our home even cleaner than when we left! She even stayed late on the last day when our flight was delayed due to bad weather so Piper wouldn’t be alone. Would highly recommend!”
“Tori did a wonderful job taking care of our fur-kid, Franklin, and our home while we were gone. She was great about sending photos and reaching out to me if she had any questions. Franklin completely took to her and was as normal as could be when we got home after a week away. (He's 8 mos old and this was his first experience being left with a sitter.) It was wonderful to return home to a tidy house AND a happy cat. I would recommend Tori to anyone who needs a thoughtful, conscientious house & pet sitter!”
“Suli house sat and watched our Blue Heeler Tag for 10 days. Tag was happy, and calm when we got home. We were kept updated. Suli left the home clean like we left it and even washed her sheets and watered our plants. We would recommend Suli and will definitely use her again.”
“Katie is great!! She babysat our two cats in our home for 5 days. Each is on a separate feeding regimen - one for thyroid disease and one for kidney disease. She was very conscientious with their care. One has to be fed wet food every 3-4 hours and with the help of an automated feeder and ice packs, she managed his schedule wonderfully. She sent tons of pics and communicated regularly. Katie will go beyond your expectations and treat your pets like her own!”
About: Being able to help pet owners care for and love their pets is such an enjoyable experience. I'm comfortable with cats of all different personalities, sassy, shy or snuggly, I'm also experienced with dogs who are anxious, shy or full of energy. I provide regular updates so you can be at ease while you're away. I have a very calm and patient approach and tailor my care to each pet's different needs. I'm consistent and don't just show up. I try to understand your pets routines and preferences. I am working on finishing my degree which I do mostly from home. My schedule is very flexible. I am home most of the time which gives me more to time to spend with your pets! I am an active person and try to get in as much exercise as I can, I would love to take your pet on a walk/jog with me! That being said, one of my favorite ways to unwind is cuddling up with a pet and book in hand! I adjust to each pet's energy levels and what they need, whether that's exercise or some snuggles. Your trust and pet's safety are both incredibly important to me. I treat your home with care and honor your pet’s routines, always striving to provide a loving, familiar environment.
“Carolyn was absolutely amazing! She came to house and dog sit for me and she did such an amazing job. She was super communicative and sent photo updates. I have her watching Sally again for an out of town wedding and I know that my girl will be in good hands with Carolyn!”
“Cara was amazing with our 2 jack russel terriers while we were on vacation for a week. She sent pictures and videos daily which we adored. Our younger, newer dog warmed up to her quickly. She played ball with pur older dog. Good communication, reliable and helped us relax by not having to worry about the dogs while on vacation since we knew they were with someone who cared. Definitely will be requesting Cara in the future. Thank you Cara!”
About: I've been taking care of pets, mostly cats, for the past 3–4 years. This includes feeding, litter box maintenance, playtime, and providing companionship. I’ve also administered medication to my own cat, so I understand the patience and care needed for pets with special needs. I love getting to know each pet I meet, understanding their unique personalities, and ensuring they feel safe and comfortable in my care! I’m available for drop-ins weekdays before and after work, as well as around lunchtime. I’m also available for house sitting most days with advanced notice. I prioritize the safety and well-being of every pet in my care by ensuring they are always supervised and secure. I carefully follow owners' instructions and maintain clear communication. My goal is to provide a calm, stress-free environment tailored to each pet’s individual needs.
“Katie was great with my two GSDs while we were away. She cleaned up before she left so everything was as we left it and our dogs were happy, healthy and well taken care of. Will definitely be looking for Katie's availability next time.”
“Max was an amazing pet sitter for my cat Birdie and my hamster Oso. I was worried as this was my first time leaving my cat for this long and she's a rescue and very shy. But, Birdie took to Max very quickly and Max made sure to keep me updated and let me know she was ok. I appreciated how communicative he was with me throughout my time away. Thanks to Max I was able to enjoy my first vacation in over 2 years. I will definitely be reaching out to Max the next time I go on vacation.”
“Alicia was very polite, responsible, and friendly. She kept us updated with photos and texts during our absence . The dogs seem to love her and I would definitely recommend her service.”
“Dawn went above and beyond for me and my girl!!! I have a dog with anxiety and on the 4th Dawn stayed with her and made sure she was well taken care of while I was at work. She also organized my house and I REALLY appreciated that! Made it more friendly and something I struggled to do since I moved in!”

Eleanor stayed with my Pom for a week while I was out of the country, and she was fantastic! I came home to a happy doggie and a neat and tidy place. Eleanor sent regular updates and pics through the week so I didn’t worry while I was away. I definitely recommend her services!
Devon made my the time away from my dog very easy & enjoyable. I was away for a week and I usually have anxiety when leaving my dog, but I had no concerns as I could tell he was in good hands. Would recommend to anyone who wants to have a stress free time away from their pet.
Ava did an amazing job for us. After a previous unsatisfactory stay at a kennel the month prior, we were worried about leaving our high energy terrier and our deaf old sheepdog. Ava reassured us daily with her pictures and check-ins, letting us know our boys were happy and well taken care of. We would love to work with her again.
Second time working with Denita and am feeling so touched by the care and attention she's given my old dog! My senior requires a special kind of patience and the pictures she sent me this week with her daily updates let me know she's giving him lots of time and space to just chill around her. Denita, you have my highest recommendation - thank you for all of your help!!
Jamie did a great job of taking care of our pup, Nyla. I could tell that Nyla was not stressed when we came home. She sent us picture of updates of Nyla which was reassuring. Jamie was respectful of our home while house sitting and I felt very comfortable that I could trust her. We plan to book with her again if possible.
