“Alyssa took very good care of my Snug, who was, unfortunately, too shy to hang out with her! But I will be using Alyssa again soon, and I hope then that Snug will be more hospitable.”


“Rachelle did an outstanding job caring for our cats. We will definitely try to engage her services the next time we need to be away from home for any length of time.”


“April has been amazing, this is my second time booking with her. The first time she visited my home to ensure she knew where everything was and to meet my very shy kitty Pepper. April really cares for your pet, making sure they get play, treats and pets. My kitty Pepper has really warmed up to her. I will certainly be booking in the future.”


“Audry did a great job looking after our three kitties. She took time to play with them and make friends. She sent us pictures each visit and provided updates on their daily habits. Will absolutely ask her to watch the cats again in the future.”



“Sydney was absolutely amazing! She graciously accepted our last-minute request and went above and beyond caring for our lonely kitty. Not only did she give our furry friend plenty of attention and care, but she also managed the aftermath when our creative, bored kitty got a bit too playful with the Christmas decorations. Sydney kept our home tidy and made sure everything was in perfect order when we returned. Her kindness, reliability, and genuine love for animals truly stood out. Highly recommend!”

“Sean did a great job for us taking care of our two dogs! Kept a good watch on our home too. Wouldn’t hesitate having Sean care for dogs again in the future.”


“Emily was so amazing! She was so patient and very caring for my two babies. Forever grateful for her assistance and will definitely be using her again!”


About: I worked at an animal shelter for a period of time, during which I also served at the Vice President for a year; I love animals and advocating and caring for them is a core value I hold close to my heart. I’ve dealt with animals in all sorts of situations and conditions, and believe that those experiences have given me a skillset to take in the hat ever your fur baby might throw at me! I am self-employed and work fully remotely, so I can be flexible to meet you and your pets needs. Working from home means I can also pick up more last minute requests when needed. My fur babies are my world, and I will treat yours with that same mindset. Having a new face in the home can be tough, but I am willing to take the time to build trust with your fur babies and makes them feel safe and at ease when their routine deviates.


“We’ve used Brittany for multiple longer trips to care for our 3 kitties. They love her and trust her! She makes sure they get plenty of attention and keeps them well fed and water clean and filled. She sends lots of pictures which makes it easier to be away! Highly recommend for your sitting needs!”


“Ashley was great with my four kitties. She even managed to get one of the shy ones to join in the fun. She took great care and spent a lot of time playing with my two high energy cats (which spared my furniture). Would definitely book again.”


“Angela was available last minute on a holiday weekend and absolutely is worth her rates. She took care of my boy as if she was caring for her own pups! Would book again!”


“Emily did a fantastic job looking after our cat and keeping an eye on the house while we were gone. She was very dependable, and her keeping us updated on how things were going - with pictures!! - was a huge comfort while we were away. I highly recommend her and will certainly contact her again when we go out of town again.”

About: Since the age of 10, I've been immersed in the world of pet care, thanks to my mother who ran a boarding home for dogs and cats. Growing up surrounded by animals, I developed a deep bond with them and a strong commitment to their well-being.

With a spacious backyard for pups to roam freely and an array of cat toys and trees, I offer a safe and stimulating environment for all furry companions. Whether your pets enjoy outdoor adventures or prefer cozy indoor retreats, they'll find ample space to thrive under my care. Additionally, I cater to the needs of smaller animals, ensuring they have plenty of room to explore and play in a nurturing setting. Your pets will feel right at home with me, receiving the attention, space, and amenities they need for a happy and fulfilling stay.

About: Hi! I am here simply because I love dogs, and I wanted to earn some money for my school expenses. My first experience with dogs was when I first came back to the US, and my family had a lovely chihuahua named Olga. She was sweet, kind, patient and calm, she was already perfect, so I never really got any experience with handling, or dealing with naughty dogs. There was another do, Ginger, and she’s total goofball, our source of laughter. The years living with them made me realize how much I loved dogs, and how much I needed them in my life. A few years after I got my first puppy, a GSD (DDR) named Leona, I got her when she was 8 weeks old, and we lived together until she was 2. Although she was a handful for a first time dog owner, I loved her wholeheartedly and trained her to do many tricks, and she has become more mature and calm through the training. Unfortunately, we had to send her to a new home due to we were moving, and the new house didn’t allow pets. I really missed the days where I could just go to a dog and hug them, cuddle with them, and leave all my worries and sadness behind. I love all kinds of dogs. Everytime I see a dog on the street, I get excited and can’t help but smile. I’ve always wanted to be a dog sitter, ever since I could remember, but I never took the act. Now that I’m homeschooled, I have plenty of time on my schedule. Please consider me when you are in need for help taking care of your dog, and I will do my best to serve you!
