“Nafisa has been incredible! It brings me so much peace during my workday knowing that she’s checking in on my dogs when I can’t be there. She’s reliable, communicative, and my dogs warmed up to her immediately! My dogs definitely have their quirks and she’s taken it with stride. I appreciate her endlessly!!”
“Callie was so good with our insulin dependent diabetic kitty! She was excellent at communicating all the details of care and made sure we were in the loop 100% with our high maintenance fur-baby while we were out of town. Our daily updates kept our peace of mind that our kitty was well taken care of. Would highly recommend and will definitely hire her again!”
“Lauren was awesome. I’ve booked her in the past, and I always appreciate how communicative she is and how she truly cares for my cats. I will definitely be booking her again in the future.”
About: I've grown up with pets my entire life and have had 2 of my own dogs. They both had medical issues so I am very familiar with administering medications and preparing special meals. My home is currently pet-free and I would be so happy to spend time with your dog while you're away. I have plenty of time to spend with your fur baby. I currently work part time and always have Wednesdays and Fridays-Sundays off. I also have some Tuesdays off, and if I do work on Tuesdays it is only from 8-2. Mondays can be discussed. My house has a fully fenced in backyard and I never leave dogs outside unattended. Dogs are welcome to snuggle on my furniture and in bed with me if they like. If your dog is crate trained, feel free to bring their crate or I have a large one they can use. There are no other dogs or children in my home so your dog gets my full attention!
“Emma was fabulous in taking care of my boys! She was even able to get my stubborn kitty to take more of his meds than I could, no small feat. She was great about providing updates and following complex care instructions.”
“Sheryl is the absolute best! She takes such good care of our guys when we are away. It makes our whole trip that much better knowing they are in such good hands while we are away. Thank you again.”
“Alyssa was so amazing with my fur babies. She sent daily photos and was extremely communicative. Also cleaned up behind them when they were being a bit naughty (knocked over plants lol) Ultimately, I came home to a clean litter box and extremely happy kittens. I am certain they will miss her and I intend to rebook with Alyssa in the future.”
About: Always had dogs and cats around me my whole life. Can’t imagine life without them. From newborns to seniors they all need love and care. I am home full time now and always looking to share some love. No problems working weekends or holidays. Willing to work with weather too. I have a large back yard and 3 very friendly Goldendoodles for your baby to play with. My house is also gated to separate them if you want.
“It was so reassuring to know my dog was in such good hands while I was away! Caitlin gave detailed daily updates and was flexible around some unexpected tummy trouble. I highly recommend working with Caitlin!”
About: I had a previous dog and currently care for my 3 year old beagle :) I got him as a puppy and I have a special place in my heart for dogs! I work full time in a school so I’m available for drop in visits during the week between 4-8. I have more flexibility during the weekends! I have a fully fenced yard and a loving beagle at home! I would respect the rules you put in place. You wouldn’t need to worry :)

We would love to watch your pet at our home if they need more than a potty and play break!
“My dog was always very happy to see Jaidyn. Jaidyn left us messages with pics and updates on how things were going. She managed three visits a day which isn’t easy when you are busy with life but she made sure to update me if running later than she thought. Thankful for pet sitters like Jaidyn who are reliable and responsible too along with being a caring individual.”
“Jamie was a lifesaver after my normal sitter moved out of state. She was prompt and provided me with plenty of updates and pictures of my fur babies. I would highly recommend her if you ever need someone to care for your pets when you are away.”
About: I’ve been a lifelong pet owner, I’m a recently retired nurse, I have time, patience, and energy to care for your pet when you need me I have a very flexible schedule since I’m recently retired, and I have reliable transportation. I’m often able to accommodate on short notice if needed I’m able to care for your pet at your home. Depending on the pet and situation, I might be able to care for them at my home
“Kate is amazing with our dogs! We have 2…one is very shy and the other has a little terrier attitude. It usually takes them a while to warm-up to new people. Not the case with Kate, she is so sweet! Our shy dog loved her immediately, which was such a relief. Kate knew exactly how to greet the terrier and put her hand out so she could sniff her. The terrier loved her after that! Kate was extremely punctual every single visit. She took pics every visit which was very comforting- one was so cute, it’s now my phone wallpaper! When we got home, our girls were happy to see us, but they weren’t crazy which tells me they were well taken care of! We will definitely schedule Kate to take care of our girls again if needed. She really made our time away relaxing, we are so appreciative.”
About: I’ve had cats my whole life so those are what I’m most comfortable with, however I have a lot of experience with dogs as well. Many of my family members have dogs that I’ve taken care of when they go away on trips. I’ve cared for senior dogs for friends in the past and have a special place in my heart for them. Particularly, I have experience caring for senior dogs who are blind and deaf who need special accomodations. I currently work from home 3 days a week so I have plenty of opportunities to take care of your pets within my current schedule. I’m not able to care for your pets in my home, however I’m able to come over as much as necessary to care for your pets.
About: I've had many years of dog and cat care in my life, but most recently, I've fostered over 50 dogs throughout the last 4 years. They've ranged from puppies to elderly, from big to small, and from scared to comfortable. We've taken pride of bringing up dogs from shelters where they were scheduled to be euthanized, rehabilitating them if necessary, and placing them in the homes of people who will love and deserve them. There are 4 people in my home but I work a part time job and run my Color Street business from home so my family has plenty of time to care for and love on your furbaby. We've also got a fully fenced in yard along with 3 pups of our own to show them the ropes, so your baby will be well cared for and well entertained (by the dogs and my 2 kids.)

Lauren is amazing. She is one of the most reliable and responsible pet sitters I have used to watch my cats while I’m away. Normally, I am very nervous about leaving them, but Lauren makes it so much easier by providing updates on how they’re doing and making sure they’re entertained by playing with them and setting up treat puzzles. I really appreciate how she treats my pets like her own, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.
Sydney is a true gem and exactly what we needed to help manage our lives. Not worrying about our furbabies gives us the freedom we need to tackle family obligations and fun outings. Sydney gave us that and more! We highly recommend her for your pet and house sitting needs!
Autumn took good care of my two kitties for drop-in visits. She followed directions well, took good pictures of the cats, and gave me short updates about the visit and the cats' activities. She was respectful of my house and property, and I definitely felt like Daisy and Franklin were in good hands while we were away. Thank you, Autumn!
Chris did a great job exercising my high energy Golden Retriever and looking after her needs. My dog looked forward to his drop-in visits and it was a very good experience. I definitely recommend Chris to care for your dog. I'll be utilizing his services again!
