“Kaleigh is absolutely the best pet sitter! She is so kind and patient with our fickle cat and has been more than accommodating with all our changes in vacation plans. She’s professional, cheerful, and 100% trustworthy! We will continue to utilize her services for our future vacations”
About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 16, so I have years of experience with animals of all ages and personalities, from energetic puppies and playful kittens to older pets who need extra patience and love. I currently have two dogs and a cat, and I’ve raised them since they were young, so I understand the attention, training, and care every animal needs. I’m an athlete and love going on walks, so I can keep up with high-energy dogs or take long, leisurely strolls with older pets. I’m also comfortable handling feisty or shy pets, and I always focus on building trust, keeping pets safe, and making sure they feel happy and loved while their owners are away. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, or just companionship, I treat every animal like family and adapt to their unique personality and needs. I’m willing to go the extra mile (literally and figuratively) to make sure your pets feel cared for, safe, and comfortable. I just finished school and currently work as a waitress for about 4 hours a day, which leaves me with plenty of free time. I’m looking to spend those off-hours doing something I genuinely love caring for pets. My schedule is really flexible, so I’m able to fit in walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the day and week. Whether you need regular visits or last-minute help, I’m happy to make it work around my shifts. When I’m caring for pets in my client’s home, I follow their routine as closely as possible so their pet feels safe and comfortable. I stick to feeding schedules, walk times, playtime, and any special instructions you leave. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality whether they’re playful, shy, or extra cuddly and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and reassurance while you’re away. I also respect your space by keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly how you left it. When caring for pets in my own home, I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can play and explore safely. My dogs are kept in my garage during visits so your dog has full freedom to roam in the yard or, if they are an indoor dog, stay inside the house comfortably. I already have two dogs and a cat, so I’m used to managing different personalities and making sure everyone feels safe and happy. Walks, playtime, and lots of love are always part of the day. No matter where your pet is, my goal is always the same: to keep them safe, happy, and loved just like they’re part of my own family.
“Kathleen arrived on time, devoted the full half hour to Kalea. Our dog is nervous having recently had surgery and is in pain. Kalea opened up, trusting Kathleen. She was able to get massaging and some deeper rubs even some prom moves.”
“Amanda thank you so much for taking such great care of Foxy!!! You are so thorough, compassionate and communicative. We appreciate you so much!!! You're the best of the best 💕🐾😸”
“Ali was very thorough in checking in on our lil comrades. She provided photos for every check in and was even able to interact with our cats which is rare considering how shy they are. We will definitely be reaching out to her on future trips.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a kid. I have years of experience working with large dogs with anxiety and high energy, especially German Shepherds. I also love working with small and medium dogs. I am very attuned to the body language of cats and dogs and am attentive to their nervous system to ensure everyone’s safety and comfort. I’m currently working part time and my schedule is very flexible. I can also do most of my work remotely so I can be with your pets even more. I can be available most days and nights. I strive to maintain your pet’s normal routine, whatever that may look like. I know that when you are away, that can be more stressful for your pet so I try to do whatever I can to make your pet more relaxed and happy.
“I couldn't be happier with the exceptional care that was provided to my cat, Luna, by Maureen. Not only is she a fantastic caretaker, but her kind and nurturing nature made Luna feel right at home. I truly was at ease knowing Luna was in such capable and caring hands. Maureen was so kind to update me daily and even sent photos/videos throughout the day. I highly recommend her for anyone seeking a reliable and caring pet sitter, especially for those who have anxious/shy cats! Luna and I are immensely grateful for the outstanding service provided by Maureen in her loving home.”
“Kim did a great job watching my cat for an extended period of time. She sent pictures daily and it was apparent that my cat was very happy and comfortable with having Kim watching her. Kim also brought in the mail and several packages that were delivered. My highest recommendation for her pet sitting services. She is very reliable and trustworthy.”
“There are not enough stars to rate Alex for his incredible service. Alex was extremely punctual, professional and above all caring and kind to both of our dogs. The thing that stood out to me the most was that he actually took the time to play with my dogs during the visits, many people just feed and leave but he made sure they were loved on and tired by the end of the visit. He was also extremely communicative and reassuring that our pups were in great hands. I can’t recommend Alex enough, he is a great guy and an awesome sitter. Our dogs love him already, we will be using him again!”
About: I’ve had pets almost my entire life and can’t imagine a home without at least 20 extra legs romping around! I love caring for pets of all kinds—dogs and cats, whether they’re easygoing or have extra needs. I’m calm, attentive, and tuned in to their routines, comfort, and subtle cues. I also have experience with more complex situations, like fostering pregnant dogs (including one on strict bed rest with a broken leg) and supporting her and her puppies through pneumonia. I’ve provided breathing treatments, assisted with chest therapy, bottle-fed sick puppies, and administered medications when needed. Beyond that, I’ve raised puppies with and without their moms, hospice-fostered senior dogs, regularly dog- and cat-sat for friends, and fostered kittens and cats. I treat every pet as if they were my own, so you can trust they’ll be safe, happy, and truly cared for. Pet care is already woven into my daily life. I currently have two cats and three dogs, so feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and engagement are a consistent part of my routine. I’m home regularly throughout the day to provide meals, companionship, and attentive care, rather than fitting pets in around long absences. Because my household already revolves around animal care, welcoming additional pets into my space doesn’t disrupt my routine—it simply means adding more friends to it. I’m thoughtful about maintaining structure, ensuring everyone gets individual attention, and keeping the environment calm, safe, and comfortable. Your pet will be cared for as part of a well-established, loving routine, not treated like an afterthought. I tailor care to each pet’s individual needs and preferences to create a calm, low-stress environment. I’m attentive and proactive about supervision, and if any concerns arise, pets are calmly and safely separated. I have experience managing mixed households and ensuring all animals have their own safe spaces. My home includes a fully fenced, secure backyard that is always closed and locked for safe outdoor time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I closely follow their routines to maintain comfort and consistency. Above all, my priority is that every pet feels safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for.
“Jennifer was great! She played with the dogs during the visits and sent plenty of pictures of their happy faces. It really helped to see that our fur babies were in good hands while we were away for the weekend. Will be booking with her again in the future!”
About: I’m a first-year college student exploring nursing or veterinary medicine, and animal care has always been a big part of my life. I’ve been volunteering at VCAS for almost a year, where I’ve learned proper handling techniques, safety procedures, and how to care for cats, dogs, and small animals like bunnies. I also have several years of experience helping care for my neighbors’ pets, including feeding, walking, and providing companionship. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable working with pets of different temperaments, always prioritizing their safety and comfort. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. I naturally build my days around feeding, walks, playtime, downtime, and lots of affection so pets feel comfortable and at ease. I’ve cared for my 10-year-old Maltipoo since she was a puppy, which has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and gentle care. I’m generally available Monday through Saturday and make sure every pet feels loved and cared for during my time with them! I care for pets in my clients’ homes by following their routines and instructions closely to make sure each pet feels safe and comfortable. If medications are needed, I make sure they are given properly and on time. I also ensure pets get appropriate exercise, whether indoors or outdoors, and provide attentive supervision at all times. My goal is to create a safe, positive experience for both the pet and their owner. I’m always happy to share photos and/or video updates while I’m there so owners can feel at ease!
“Lilah was incredibly reliable and communicative and was successfully able to medicate both of my shy kitties. I will hire her again and recommend her to all my friends! I loved getting photos of my babies and was able to enjoy my time away knowing they were in excellent hands.”
“Mikaela was awesome! She was super easy going with all of my instructions for my cat! My cat was well taken care of and seemed like she had a lot of fun! Highly recommend her!”
About: Trusted care, daily updates, and peace of mind while you’re not there. I’ve taken care of chameleons, hamsters, fish, birds, bunnies, cats, and dogs. Those are just my pets. I’ve also cared for water turtles I am retired and my time is very flexible to be able to help with routines and needs for care throughout the day and evening. I will not be able to keep animals in my home as I have too many but I am willing to stay at your home I would treat them as if they were my own

Lilah was incredibly reliable and communicative and was successfully able to medicate both of my shy kitties. I will hire her again and recommend her to all my friends! I loved getting photos of my babies and was able to enjoy my time away knowing they were in excellent hands.
Claire is a great pet-sitter. She helped take care of our two cats while we were on travel. We opted for the half hour daily check-in. Claire visited us prior to the travel to learn more about our cats, their food habits, toys, etc. She provided detailed updates daily with lots of pictures while we were on travel. This was very reassuring as we had never left our cats alone for an extended period of time at home prior to this. One of our cats is very scared of strangers and hides the moment he hears anyone other than us. Claire was really patient and actually got our cat to come out and eat treats from her hand. I suppose that says all you need to know about how good Claire’s care is. I highly recommend Claire if you are looking for someone to look after your fur babies while you travel!
