About: I’ve had pets and been around animals my whole life, and truly adore all breeds. I know how important keeping to a schedule is for your pets and have always been a reliable person once I commit to a task. I have experience caring for my own pets as well as other family members pets. I am self employed and make my own hours so I can easily pop in during the day to walk, feed or check in on your pets! At your home, I will be respectful of your space and the way you cater to your pet and their needs, I’ll leave it as I found it! I want to build a relationship to get to know you and your pet so everyone feels comfortable.

About: Hi! I’m Siobhan, and I absolutely love caring for animals, especially cats. I’ve been lucky to be around pets my whole life, and I’m experienced with everything from chaotic kittens to sick/higher needs seniors. I also love dogs and enjoy walking, house sitting, and dropping in on them, though I can only host cats in my home for now. Whether I’m visiting your pet in your home or caring for them at mine, I’m committed to following their routines, providing plenty of attention, and making sure they feel safe and loved. I’m happy to accommodate special instructions, administer medication, or adjust activities for shy, senior, or high-energy pets. I look forward to meeting your furry family member! :))) I work a hybrid schedule Monday through Friday, so I’m available for drop-in visits, dog walks, and house sitting on weekdays outside of those hours that i’m in person, and I’m fully open on weekends. My home is quiet, comfortable, and cat friendly, making it a stress free place for boarding. :) I live in a spacious 2 bedroom apartment that is kept clean and tidy with plenty of space for your pets to feel comfortable and roam around.

“Allison is great with our dog, Turner, on potty breaks and is very kind and easy to communicate with! We will definitely book with her again.”

“Carson did a wonderful job taking care of my cat, Lucie! She was kind and thoughtful, and took great photos every day for me. I will definitely book with Carson again in the future!”

“Amanda was amazing to work with- really clear and frequent communication, lots of photos during check ins, and she seemed to get along really well with my cat Percy! Amanda did a pre-meet ahead of our booking to meet Percy and chat through any concern I had, which was really appreciated. She was also flexible with dealing with my bad travel luck, and had offered to be on standby to extend her time if I had any travel issues. Thank you!”

About: I have years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments. I'm attentive, patient, and passionate about providing pets with love, exercise, and a safe environment. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or cuddles, I treat every pet like family and ensure they feel happy and secure. I work from home everyday and spend most weekends at home so I am available everyday of the week whenever you might need me to help out. I have an apartment that I share with my cat and dog. Both get constant attention all day and my dog gets to go on multiple walks around the neighborhood every day!

“Leah was very good with our energetic pup, and we appreciated her being willing to help out somewhat last minute! Your pet will for sure be in good hands.”

“Laurel was very communicative and conscientious taking care of my kitty while I was away. She also sent very regal looking photos and a cute video, which was very appreciated. I'd book her again easily!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, birds, rodents, etc. my whole life, and am very comfortable with all different ages and personalities. My own dog is 14.5 years old, is reactive and highly anxious. I love getting to know pet’s special little quirks and becoming attuned to what they need. Whether you have an energy-filled youngster, or an older and wiser pet, I’m excited to help make them feel loved and cared for! I have experience with large and small dogs, cats of all ages, reactivity, and senior animals. I’m also comfortable giving pets medications. I work 100% remote so I’m available for walks/care throughout the morning/day/evening. If you need me to stay with your pets for a few hours in the day I can bring my laptop and work remotely with your pets! Since I have a senior dog who is reactive to other pets, I can’t currently care for animals in my own home / stay overnight. But I’m happy to stop in on your home to give your pets any attention and care they need throughout the week/weekend!

“Caterina was an absolutely wonderful cat sitter for my two cats. She provided good and timely updates for each of her visits, and sent adorable pictures of the cats to me at each visit. I’m sure they loved having her!! I’ll definitely book again.”

Raphaelle L.

“Alanna did an awesome job watching Bandit! She was accommodating and had excellent communication from the meet & greet to the end of the booking. I loved her regular updates, and I appreciated her willingness to give Bandit oral medicine during the drop-ins. I'm grateful she was available and will definitely be booking again :)”

“The best! Emily is the person we trust to care for our cats. She is communicative, considerate, and sends awesome updates. My cats and I are grateful!”

Justin R.

“Nate has been awesome with our dog, Sadie. She can be fearful, but it was very clear at the first meeting that she was comfortable with him right away. He’s very attentive and communicative - sends pictures and videos during his visit, which we love. We will be continuing to have him watch Sadie on a regular basis and occasionally day care and overnights!”

Megan H.

“Chloe/Kit took care of our senior cat Dexter for two weeks while we were on vacation and he could not have been in better hands! We super appreciated her flexibility especially when we asked her part way through the two weeks whether she could come visit him twice daily and she totally made it work. Dexter’s favorite activity is going for walks outside so we gave her the option, if she felt comfortable, to take him out on a leash. We were so pleased to see that she had no hesitation to taking him outside and she took him for his walks daily, which I’m positive was the highlight of his days. We came home to a healthy and happy cat and we are so grateful! We would absolutely recommend Kit to take care of your fur buddies!”

About: I bring extensive hands-on experience with cats and dogs, from growing up in a pet-loving household, volunteering at shelters for years, to doing dog house sits for friends and family. In particular, I’ve cared for cats with complex medical needs—my own cat had asthma, hypothyroidism, and was in palliative care for a year. I’m comfortable administering medications, recognizing signs of distress, and adapting care routines as needed. Above all, I’m deeply passionate about pet care. I work from home 3-4 days a week, and most weekends. In general, I am available most days except Thursdays! I prefer business hours on the weekdays. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I aim to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any specific care notes to the letter. I spend quality time with each pet—whether it’s playtime, brushing, or just quiet company—to make sure they feel safe and loved in your absence. I also keep the home tidy, water plants if needed, and send regular updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.

“Anna was wonderful! She sent along so many great photos of my fur child and I feel confident that she was in good hands while I was away. Anna was quick to respond and very kind when we met to go over the details of the weekend. I would definitely trust Anna again.”

About: Whether it’s 6 a.m. park sprints, midday belly rubs, or evening cuddle sessions, I’m here to keep tails wagging and paws happy. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all personalities and I treat every pet like they’re my own. Expect updates, photos, and the occasional silly selfie so you know your furry friend is having the best day ever. I’m a teacher, so I can mostly pet sit or walk weekday evenings or weekends. I can also go for walkies at the crack of dawn, so our little furry friend and I can catch some sunrises together :) I make sure they get VIP treatment (Very Important Pet, obviously ). I stick to their routine so meals, walks, and playtime feel just like home. Dogs get sniffari walks, tug-of-war championships, and plenty of zoomies in the yard. Cats get top-tier chin scratches, laser pointer marathons, and cozy window-seat gossip sessions about the neighborhood birds. I keep their space clean, their water fresh, and their tail wagging (or purring) until you’re back.

“Thanks so much Caroline! Wynn was happy and well fed when I got home. Really responsive the whole time with pictures etc. Really appreciate it!!”

“Courtney's been great, responsible and takes amazing care of my cat! We'll be asking Courtney back soon”
