“Hilary did a great job caring for our two cats. She gave me regular updates with pictures and answered my questions during the time we were away. She left the house clean and organized. Would highly recommend Hilary and will use her services again.”
“Great communicator. Incredibly reliable. Went over and beyond what we asked for taking care of Callie. Grateful to have had Julie watch our kitty while we were gone for the week.”
“Danielle watched my two cats for a long weekend and treated them like the kings they are. She communicated perfectly, updated me with news and pictures, and went above and beyond to make sure they were taken care of. I had peace of mind and knew that my babies were happy and healthy in her hands.”
“Cailyn took great care of my baby Guinea pigs. She shared photos and I noticed after returning home she went above and beyond what I had asked of her!! Thank you Caylin for caring for two little guys while I was away 💙”
“Lexie did an excellent job caring for our two cats! They both have their little quirks, but she took everything in stride. We'll definitely be looking into booking with her again. Thanks Lexie!”
“Where to begin. Colleen is quite literally the cutest and sweetest person we have ever had the privilege of meeting. We are first time parents to our newly adopted tortie kitten Bootsie. She’s four and half months old and is quite the handful, she’s also very attached to mom and dad. So it goes without saying we were a little nervous about leaving her side. Colleen came in and just blew us away with how patient and courteous she was to our fur baby from the start. We knew instantly we had found the perfect person to watch over her. She truly has a passion for what she does and eased any concerns we had. She was on time and gave us much needed updates throughout her stay. They bonded so well together we were shocked! If you’re lucky enough to have her look after your fur baby consider it a blessing. Colleen you are so special and you’ll be in our memories forever thank you so so much!!!”
“Keira was wonderful and did a terrific job dropping in on my cat! My kitty is usually super shy, and I've never seen him as friendly and comfortable with a new person as he was with her - i would happily book her again!”
“Kat is fantastic! My two very shy cats loved Kat; she kindly spent time with both of them during each drop in visit we scheduled for 5 consecutive days and provided us with daily pics/updates. I highly recommend Kat for any pet sitting or walking needs. Thanks, Kat!”
About: I’ve had the joy of providing around-the-clock love and attention to furry friends in their own space. I’ve cared for dogs and cats from four different families, each with their own unique personalities and routines. Growing up with animals, I’ve learned how to read their needs and earn their trust. I’m here to be their new best friend - and yes, you’ll get plenty of adorable photo updates along the way. I work from home 3 days of the week, but have flexibility to work fully remote if needed for your pet! This means that they can have someone with them every moment of the day, if that is a must. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I will follow all routines closely. This includes feeding schedules, walk times, favorite toys, or if they like to watch a specific show while napping on the couch. If I am in your home, I will keep things tidy, respect your personal privacy, and send regular photo updates so you know your pet is happy and cared for. In my homes I create a cozy, pet-friendly space. I tailor to their personality - whether they’re energetic, shy, or somewhat in between!
“Very responsive. Caring for our cat and trying to look after our plants through a hot dry spell too! Bridget's love for animals is clear and her level of caring is exceptional.”
“Cindy was so amazing ! Never used a service before and was so amazed at how she constantly updated me on how Puppers was doing including sending me pics. He was well cared for and would absolutely request her again!!”
About: I have a wide variety of pet walking and sitting experience. From my years taking care of pets, I have learned many important skills. Such as how to administer oral medication’s and interact with high energy dogs. I have also become very good at gaining cats trust and allowing them to tell me what they need from me. Ensuring that the pets I’m looking after feel safe and reassured in my presence until their family comes home is my biggest priority, even if it means spending a little extra time with them. I’m currently taking online classes over the summer which will restrict my night walking services, but my daytime hours are usually free. I am also available most weekends and mornings. Unfortunately I am not allowed to keep pets in my home. That being said I take great pride in making sure that I leave my client’s home cleaner than when I arrived. This can range from cleaning up, spilled water from water dishes, cleaning up any curbs that a pet might have left on the floor, or cleaning up any accidents that a pet might’ve accidentally had.
About: Hello! I love spending time with animals and have been helping my family take care of our dogs, cats, and several small animals including: rats, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, a tortoise, fish, and even birds for 10+ years! I have lots of experience raising husky puppies from birth and helping foster cats and kittens. I love long hikes with our huskies and have even gone through therapy dog training. I know just how essential comforting pet care is and am eager to share it with your pets! I am currently a college student who is working part-time for the summer (going back August 14th), but I would love to be able to take care of your pet(s) outside of this! My availability ranges, but afternoons and evenings work best for me. Please don't be afraid to reach out! I always make sure that my family pets are getting the attention and care they deserve and would love to apply this to your pets. If you leave any notes or details about caring for your pets, know that I will take the time to read it thoroughly and follow your directions. I want to make sure that your pet feels comfortable and safe around me.
About: I have been rescuing dogs and cats for the last 25 years with my husbands help. I love cuddling and loving on just about any animal. As of right now I have a Rottie/English Mastiff rescue named Demo and a calico rescue named MoMo. I frequently sit my granddog Kaito who is a Shepherd/Pyrenees. We briefly tried to live without animals and quickly realized that's no life to live. Pets have a special kind of love and affection you can't find anywhere else. I am currently working less than part time and my schedule is fairly flexible. I can fill in as needed usually with a few hours notice but do prefer at least 24 hours I cannot host any pets at my home as we are still not sure if my dog is reactive. I am more than willing to attend to your pet in whatever fashion you request in your home within reason.
“Daniel was awesome with our dog! He did a drop in to check on our dog. He was on time and took our dog for a nice walk. He logged that our dog went to the bathroom and sent us pictures! He stayed for the whole time that we asked and was very professional. Highly recommend!”
About: I am very kind, responsible / organized, punctual, and I just love animals, especially dogs. I grew up with dogs of all different sizes. I have taken care of my neighbor’s dogs, family members dogs, and friends who own dogs. I have helped raise puppies. I love being outdoors and enjoy going on walks. I have previous experience with handling medicine with dogs. I will make sure your dog feels comfortable and loved. I have a very flexible schedule. I am available to work full-time hours if needed, and I am available on the weekends if that is needed. I treat all animals with love and respect. For my client’s home, I am willing to crate their dog or do whatever works best for them. I can spend time a lot of time outside with their dogs. If the dogs come to my place, I am willing to accommodate their needs, so they feel comfortable and more at home.
