“Holli has been fantastic with our cats! She is very sweet and goes the extra mile. We have had the best experience with her and we will absolutely continue to book her in the future.”
“Claire was just outstanding. She took care of my kitty like she was her own. She went above and beyond to interact with her, scratch her, let her spend extra time outside on the sunny days, and was all-around a great sitter. I would have Claire watch Smudge again in a heartbeat.”
“This is the second time we had Avery watch Kiss and she was amazing! Kiss likes her, which is a big deal, she keeps me informed, and is not afraid to ask questions if she is unsure of something. Will definitely keep using her in the future! Thank you Avery!!”

I am currently working and going to school online so this provides me with a very flexible schedule with all oddities of availability for you and your pet. I have an extra large fenced in yard, live alone and have an amazing dachshund named, "Koko." He is an old boy and doesn't mind the company. I am a big advocate of cuddles, praise and sticking to training measures in place by an owner. I respect these animals and it really rewards me to see them happy, safe and healthy!

“Penelope was able to step in and help us last minute when we learned our previous sitter had moved right before a trip. She followed all our instructions and was always timely with her visits. Even though our little guy can be spicy she took it in stride and he was in great spirits when we returned! We’ll always be grateful she gave us peace of mind while traveling.”
“Taylor was great taking care of my elderly cat. I was concerned about leaving him as he requires medicine twice a day, but she kept me informed and even sent pictures. I would highly recommend Taylor.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 17. I’ve help family and friends care for pets when I babysit their children. I loved being around the pets and children which is why I use my extra free time to provide attentive and loving care to others babies and fur babies as well! I currently work from home full time, so I have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies. They would have my attention and care at any time needed as I have more than enough time on my hands. I live in an apartment complex close to the beach, so I am open to caring for them in your home or mine! Whichever works best for you!
“Melanie was a great help with our two cats while we were away! She took lots of pictures and gave a report for each drop in visit. Everything was perfect when we came back and the cats were well looked after.”
About: I always wanted to be a veterinarian since I was little. I grew up with lots of dogs and cats in my grandparents country house. I volunteered at a veterinary clinic ever since I was 10. Then when I was 17 I volunteered at my local zoo. Where I was given the chance to feed and care all types of insects and mammals. That was probably my best job ever. Around 5 years ago I started dog sitting. I would stay in their house for up to a month and take care of their dogs. I have also had dogs stay with me, mostly puppies. Recently I have been taking care of my coworkers Husky, where I go check in on him every morning and afternoon for the past two weeks. I tend to play with him to give him exercise and make sure his food and water is always filled. I have 1 bernedoodle and 2 cats. They are my everything. I also finally am pursuing my veterinarian career. I am military active duty. But my hours are like a normal 8am to 4pm. I have the weekends free to play with your baby. I own a home. I have a fenced yard, and it’s big. I have a 2 cats 1 dog they’re friendly. Also, free rooms for space.
“Danielle was awesome. She sent pictures of my cats every time she went to my house. She took time to sit with one of my outdoor cats and pet him. He needs this affection. She did everything she is supposed to do. I will definitely use her again!!”
About: I have lived with and cared for cats and dogs my entire life. Neighbors, family members, and friends have looked to me to care for their pets. I have experience with all sizes of dogs, especially large ones! I can handle temperamental pets with gentleness and understanding. I am also great at giving pets medicine or helping with any medical conditions. I graduated December 2023 from Belmont University with a Bachelor’s of Arts. I am currently enrolled online at Northeastern University earning my Masters. I always make play with each pet and check that their environment is clean and safe. I clean up and scoop litter boxes; throw away and change potty pads. Sometimes I am asked to vacuum and water plants as well, which I am happy to do. My schedule is wide open! Pet care is my daily routine as I have cats at home. I am also a full-time pet sitter so I interact with dogs and cats weekly. I cuddle with my cats every day, they are definitely all lap cats so I am covered. They are very sweet, so they gets lots of treats and playtime. I provide plenty of space for litter boxes and I separate their food bowls so they don’t steal from each other.
About: I have always loved animals and always been around them in my home. I have years of experience with feeding, exercising, and providing enrichment for both cats and dogs. I understand the importance of making sure they feel comfortable as well as respected during our time together. My goal is to ensure that your pet is happy, healthy, and cared for when you need a little extra help! I’m currently working part time, and have plenty of time to hangout with your fur babies. With my current seasonal hours slowing down, your pets can be guaranteed a sitter with pretty open availability! I have a large backyard and one level home for your fur baby. I have access to 5 miles of shaded and accessible trails as well as a dog friendly beach. My furniture is meant to be enjoyed by four-legged friends and I love taking them on “field trips” to many of the natural areas I have access to!

Coralithia R.
“Coralithia has taken care of my two cats Maki and Clover numerous times. My cats are my literal children and I always want to feel safe leaving them with someone while I'm gone and for someone to care for them as if they were there own. Coralithia does just that, she truly cared for my cats well being, made sure they always had fresh water and food, took the time to play with them and my cats actually felt comfortable around her 🩷 She's an animal lover and a great pet sitter.”

Margaret H.
“Margaret is a true animal-whisperer! As soon as she arrives, she gives my dog “morning affirmations,” which includes cuddling, belly rubs, and talking softly to her before taking her on a walk. When she returns, she cleans my cat’s litter box and gives my cat enrichment time while flicking a catnip toy in front of her. My cat greets Margaret every morning when she arrives and patiently waits for her turn to have attention! Aside from being great with my fur babies, Margaret is not afraid to handle my python so that he doesn’t miss out on his enrichment time either. She is literally the jack-of-all when it comes to animal care! She has the education to back up her animal husbandry expertise, and I can leave my home knowing that she can hold the fort down until I get back home!”
Kynleigh W.
“I needed help last minute and Kynleigh was able to jump in on short notice, perfectly setting up food and playing with our cat. Would highly recommend and work with her again!”
