“Roxy was responsive, arrived as scheduled, and checked on our pets as requested. I also appreciate Roxy bringing in our mail packages that were left at the door. Thank you!”
“Anyah spent three days looking after our very shy cats and she took their standoffish nature in stride. She was communicative, organized, friendly, and punctual. Most importantly, she helped us out when we really needed a reliable pet sitter, and was unbelievable accommodating of our cats’ many quirks. We will absolutely be calling her first from now on.”

About: I treat every pet like family, patient, observant, and caring. I may be new, but I come with love, responsibility, and a pocket of treats Working full time with reduced summer hours, plus weekends & holidays off, I’m available to offer consistent, caring attention and companionship for your pets! :) Pets in my care have access to walking paths, a dog park, a wash station, and designated potty areas. Crate-trained pups are welcome! I keep communication clear because guessing games are for pets, not pet parents

“Beverly did a fantastic job taking care of our cat! She was attentive with pictures and messages on each visit. She even double checked with us about the cat's food routine to be sure she was giving him enough. Lovely experience with a lovely person!!!”

“Im so thankful Coretta was available to care for Douglas while I was away! She is such a lovely person and so good with animals. She did a wonderful job and was very communicative and responsive the whole time. No question I will rebook with her the next time I’m out of town!”

About: I’m a professional pet sitter with hands-on experience caring for multiple dogs, cats and reptiles. I treat every pet like my own, providing gentle, attentive, and reliable care tailored to their unique needs. I can administer medications as needed, and provide walks, playtime, or calm companionship to ensure pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. You can trust your furry or scaly friends are in experienced, caring hands. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. I provide walks, feedings, medication administration, playtime, and gentle companionship, making sure each pet feels safe, happy, and loved. I structure my schedule to meet the unique needs of each pet while keeping owners updated with care notes and photos. I’m flexible and committed to providing reliable, attentive care at all times. I treat pets in the client’s home as if they were my own. I respect the home, their routines, spaces, and comfort levels, providing gentle care, attention, and companionship. I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while maintaining a clean and organized environment. My goal is to keep pets comfortable and stress-free while their owners are away.
About: I have experience with dogs with anxiety who use medication, needy/clingy dogs, and dogs with disabilities. I am extremely thorough and patient in case something goes wrong with them and I maintain a calm demeanor at all times. When it comes to instructions, please provide a brief, detailed description of your pet's daily routine and I'll follow it to the letter. I'm currently a graduate student at CSU; summers are a slow period for me. I am more than willing to babysit pets for as many nights, walks, feeding times as needed. During school time I will do walks, feeding visits and the occasional overnight weekend stay. I am committed to your pet's comfort level and will adapt to their schedule to the best of my ability. I will spoil them rotten because I absolutely love all dogs and cats of all shapes and mannerisms. Even if they hate me. If I am confused about anything regarding your pet's behavior, such as licking paws, over-grooming, an increase in urination, I will let you know about it as soon as I see it. I also LOVE talking to the pets so I will have full-on conversations with them. I'm especially good with repeat visits so if you are interested in having a one-time sitter for the next few years, I'm MORE than willing to take up that responsibility. Familiarity is very important with pets and as mentioned before, I am focused on the pet's comfort.

About: Hi Rover! My name is Alex. I have been a pet owner since I could walk; dogs, cats, fish, birds, gerbils, even rats! I absolutely love animals and I am sure I can give your pet the love they require while you are away. I am the fur mommy of Sāj (pronounced Sage), and my angel fur baby Stasi 🕊️💕.

I have a hybrid schedule of work from home and office time, with flexibility to ensure your pet, like mine, are not left alone for extended periods of time throughout the day. I have a home with huge fenced yard to roam and play. I live within walking distance to regular parks and don’t mind taking a trip to the dog parks for socializing and exercise.
“T’Wanna was amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure that my cat had plenty of company and lots of pets and cuddles. She communicated well with me each step of the way letting me know how much food he had eaten, she replenished the water in the litter and let me know how he was doing overall. It meant so much that she spent so much genuine time making sure that my cat was comfortable and well cared for during her drop in. I would definitely recommend her and will be booking her again”
