Sarah was fantastic! We really appreciated that she kept us up to date and sent pictures every time she came over. She let us know how the cats were and left a summary of what she did. We will definitely be utilizing her services again!

Megan performed her job exceptionally well while treating our fury children like her own! She was incredibly responsive to requests/questions, and kept us updated with any issues that came up during her two week service period. We will be looking to secure Megan's services for all future needs that arise!

About: Always grew up with dogs, have a medium size dog myself who loves meeting and playing with new pets. Available primary on weekends for more extensive attention, but am open to weekday walks or sitting. Love adventures to dog parks permitting good weather and owner permission. Abundance of treats and play time. Feel like my living area has a high demand for sitters, but not enough open spots so I’m wishing to dig in myself, see if there is a need. Live on busy road/sidewalks on unfenced property, so I will require dogs be leashed when outside. Must be UTD on rabies, heart guard, and flea/tick medicines. Thank you in advance. Open to meet and greets prior to scheduled visits/stays. Open to updates/photos based on owner’s preferences.

About: Hey there! As the daughter of a veterinarian, growing up around animals was a given so I have experience with dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and health statuses (if your pet needs any specific care). I also have two cats of my own! I look forward to meeting your pets! I currently work a full time day job, so my availability at the moment is mostly evening/weekend, but certain circumstances may allow for additional availability depending. I’ll be sure to help your pets just as safe with me as they feel with you and try to maintain their normal routine to the best of my ability.

About: My love of animals started from a young age. I grew up on a farm with a variety of pets, from dogs and cats to pigs and horses! I have fostered and boarded a variety of dog breeds and cats, and I currently have a dog and 4 kittens - so you can trust your pet will be in great hands! I am an active teacher, so I stay busy throughout the week, but I am off on holiday breaks and weekends, which is when I will be most available! I do also have afternoon and nighttime availability thought out the week on occasion. I provide personalized care for your pets by sticking to their routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs they have. I ensure their environment stays comfortable and safe while you’re away, offering companionship and attention to keep them happy and relaxed. Regular updates and photos will keep you informed, so you can rest easy knowing your pet is in great hands!

Jaron was excellent with our cat. He paid her a lot of attention and was able to accommodate her medication schedule, as well as adapt to some of her behavior changes. We felt very comfortable leaving her in his care, and will gladly request his help in the future.

Allyson was a wonderful caregiver for my Sunny boy. She sent pictures every day and seemed to capture every mood of his. She is a polite young woman who cares about animals and it shows. My Sunny warmed up to her and let her pet him. I would recommend Allyson if you’re looking for someone to take care of your fur babies while you’re away. I have complete confidence in her and would use her again. 😽👍👍

About: I've been dropping in to aid family and friends with their dogs, cats, and other pets since I was in high school, and have been online doing general pet services for the last 3 or so years now. I myself have 3 cats and a snake. I have experience with giving cats eye medication, oral pills, medication mixed with treats/food, and creams. For dogs I've given creams and medication mixed with food/treats. I'm currently doing freelance work so my schedule is pretty flexible. Other than my own pet's schedule, I'm happy to find time for your pet's needs. I always make sure to check in with my clients to ensure they feel comfortable with me in their house. Things like where they're comfortable with me going and doing, where the pet(s) are allow to be, any routines that need to be done, and anything else they'd like to precaution or worry about.

About: I am an animal LOVER, and willing to make sure your dog has a safe and fun experience! I’ll make sure your dog gets all the love, care and attention they deserve. My husband and I have been married 14 years and we have twin daughters. Our family also had a dog, Herky (of 13 years), who we recently passed away. We recently began our Rover journey to help fill the void in our home after losing Herky. We are looking for some puppy love and snuggles, to help heal our hearts. I work full-time, but our family has plenty of time to take care of your pet during breaks. Your pet will never be left alone more than a few hours at a time, and we are home in the evenings to take care of your fur baby! I have a nice back yard. In addition the high trestle trail is in our backyard which allows for nice long walks with your fur baby!

Kevin has been helping us with my aunt's cat who needs daily medication. He is professional, friendly, quick to respond, and most importantly, Cleo is getting her pills. He also sends us a photo of her after each visit which we find funny (she doesn't look too happy after being pilled but she does have a lot of attitude!) and also comforting to know she is being taken care of by someone who knows what he is doing and enjoys it.

About: Hi! My name is Allison, and I would love to care for your fur family member! I have grown up around dogs and have been the primary caretaker for our family pets. Not only have I cared for our family dogs (labs & golden retrievers), but I have also dog-sat and walked dogs for other family members and friends since I was 10 years old. I have experience with other animals as well. I am currently taking a summer college course (M-Th mornings) and have late morining though early evening availability. I have some weekend availability as well. I believe compassion, respect, and structure are the keys to keeping your pet safe. My goal is to do what is right for the animals in my care while building a good relationship with their human parents. I will treat your fur family members and their homes with respect and care.

I am available most weekends and evenings (including many holidays!) for in-house sitting! I care for your animals and home as if it were my own- with care and respect. I enjoy a good walk or hike, so am happy to care for your more active dogs! Always happy to adapt my care so your pet can maintain their routine as you have set it.

Pamela did a great job checking on Chloe every day while we were on vacation. Chloe really seemed to bond with her. She went above and beyond by bringing in our mail and taking our trash to the curb. I would highly recommend her.
