“This was our second time booking Teffni, and once again, she was absolutely fantastic! We have three cats and Teffni is so patient and attentive with each of their personalities. She also carefully managed their different food routines. We loved getting regular updates and photos during each visit. We came home to three content, well-cared-for cats. We’ll definitely continue booking with Teffni! Highly recommend!”


“Kelsey was fabulous. Sent lots of pictures of our cat over the week we were gone. I could tell she was happy to see Kelsey when she stopped by. I would highly recommend Kelsey for any of your pet care needs!”


“Noah was the best! My kitty loves him! He took great care of her while we were away for over a week. Sent lots of pictures (and selfies). I will be booking with Noah when I’m out of the state again!”


“Olivia is amazing! She took such good care of my cat, Theo, making sure he had everything he needed and playing with him every day. She also went above and beyond to make sure he was okay after he had a tummy incident, which I really appreciated -- and I loved the adorable photos she sent of him, too. Thanks so much!!”



“Stephanie has been a sitter for our formerly two and now one cat for about a year now and has always provided great service. She's very attentive and thoughtful with our cat(s), responsible and a great communicator.”


About: I've watched my friends cats for years and now have a cat of my own. I have the most experience watching and checking in on cats, but I've also recently watched my friend's dog (my sweet nephew) for several days. I have experience walking and picking up after dogs, and administering medication for dogs and cats (eye drops/gel, oral medication) I am working full time, which makes weekends my most accessible days, but I also work remotely, and I have a lot of free time during the week as well. Because of this I'm able to have most days and evenings available, it just depends on specific weeks' schedules. If you have specific date needs that aren't reflected in my schedule, let me know and we can see if we can make something work! On my visits I am able and ready to put out food, scoop/clean litter boxes, clean food bowls, check on and put out water, play with cats, sit with cats and give pets, or just sit in your home for a while so your cat knows someone is there.

“Leo is wonderful!! He kindly agreed to come to a meet and greet, he’s so chill and genuinely has such a kind demeanor. He is on time (even early) and spends the entire time booked playing/walking or caring for your animal. He’s watched my 7 month old doodle 2x now and will be our regular dog sitter! Would recommend without a doubt :)”


“Jonathan was great! He followed all the instructions carefully and communicated very well. My dog has a special diet and needs to take medication for EPI, and he was very aware and attentive to that. He treated my pup like his own—I could truly tell he loves animals. I would definitely book him again if needed, and I highly recommend him!”


“Sydney is fantastic! Our cat is very shy but Sydney got her to warm up and play. She was responsive and and took great care of our pet. We will certainly be using her in the future!”


“Linda was wonderful with my two rescue cats. Somehow she kept the food and litter box areas immaculately clean. Every day I was away during the morning break I saw her update with photos. Highly recommended.”


About: Hi I am Lo! I am currently a dog owner of two from a distance- my fur babies live with my mom. I love animals and enjoy giving them love and attention. I treat all animals and homes as if they were mine. I am very adaptable to different dog needs and great at following schedules or routines. Big or small dogs - it doesn’t matter. I love all dogs no matter the size or breed. Dogs requiring medicine or special health needs are also welcome. I am also comfortable with dogs that are a little hyper. We all have our personalities and deserve to be noticed and loved! I cannot wait to meet your furry little loved one! I am currently working from home, but I am a freelance consultant. My schedule is pretty open during CV-19. I am available mornings, afternoons, and nights. Feel free to message if you need a more flexible time slot. I ensure a safe, clean and protective environment for pets. Per owner's instructions and directions I will follow any other specific guidelines and requests for pet's care.

About: I’ve lived with five dogs and two cats of my own over the last 15 years, and they’ve all been family. More recently, I've fostered many dogs with different needs and temperaments in my home during the last year. I’ve cared for everything from zoomy puppies to sweet old-timers who needed help with stairs, meds, and the occasional mess. I’m calm, gentle, and totally happy spending hours just hanging out with animals. Whether your pet wants playtime, walks, or snuggles, I'm game. I'm self-employed with a flexible, hybrid schedule. With a little notice, I can tighten my away from home work hours to 4 or less most days. As both a sitter and an owner, I know that communication is key and details matter. Just let me know your pets needs and quirks and I will treat them as you would.

About: Being from Texas I have cared for animals like horses and baby cows to pups and cats, I have done it all. As a recent college graduate, I have a lot of time on my hands to tend to your pet’s every need. Starting out pet sitting I cared for my neighbors dogs, cats and horses. I’ve also trained my own puppy and taken in several stray cats. I have recently moving and am in between jobs so I have lots of free time on my hands. I take any excuse to get outdoors and would love to take some dogs for a walk any chance I get. I have trained my own puppy and am totally willing to work with dogs that need potty training. I am happy to take dogs out for walks and runs on a daily schedule (even more than once a day). I would love to watch over senior dogs that need more care and attention. I have much experience in giving animals medicine (especially enticing horses to swallow pills which is not easy).

About: I’ve had 3 dogs in my life raised from puphood. I love them with all my heart and i’m so very excited to meet more! im a college student with my only packed day being wednesday. As long as i get an hours notice before whatever request i should be fine😆 im a pretty energetic person myself so i’d take my dogs for almost bi daily walks and baths with my older brother and obviously make sure they stayed full.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for most of my life. Currently I am a volunteer at the Humane Rescue Alliance where I help socialize dogs and cats for adoption. My cat, Maya, and I would love to welcome your fur baby into our home! I work from home and I can be flexible with fitting the needs of your pet into my daily routine. Please reach out if you have any questions! I live in an apartment that does not have a balcony. Also, I have plenty of cat toys and treats for your kitty. I also have the ability to section off my apartment if you are worried about your fur baby interacting with my cat. I want you to feel at ease knowing that I will give the same love to your pet that I do for my own.

About: I have taken care of all kinds of dogs and am very comfortable around shy/anxious or loud/outgoing dogs. I grew up around 3 dogs and can handle more than one animal at a time as well. Love to play and be energetic with animals as well! I currently have a full time job but the hours are more flexible in the summer. Pretty free on weekends and wanting to help out with my free time. I am very respectful of other people’s space and belongings and know that I’m there for one job and that is to care for their pet.

About: I have been caring for dogs since I was 7 years old, starting with my very first pet, a West Highland Terrier. Since then, I have gained years of experience with dogs of all sizes and ages. I have worked with playful puppies, gentle seniors, and everything in between. These days, I spend a lot of time with my dog niece, a German Shepherd, so I am very comfortable with larger breeds and understand the energy and attention they require. What sets me apart is the natural connection I build with animals. I treat every dog as if they were my own. This includes assisting with crate training or simply being a calm and loving presence while you are away. I am reliable, patient, and always make sure pet parents feel informed and reassured through regular updates and personalized care for each dog’s unique personality. I work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to watch, walk, and care for pets throughout the day. Whether your dog needs regular walks, playtime, or simply some company, I can fit their needs into my daily and weekly routine to ensure they feel happy and well cared for while you are away. I provide care both in my home and at my clients’ homes, depending on what works best. I live alone with no kids or other animals, so your pet will have my full, undivided attention and a calm, quiet environment for their best comfort. At my place, I have a dedicated pet spa where I can give dogs relaxing baths and pampering. There is also a nice, safe walking area nearby where pets can enjoy exercise and fresh air. Whether your dog needs a soothing bath, a good walk, or just some quality time, I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved.
