“Went on vacation for a week. I felt like my girls were safe and well loved by maelee!! I loved all the photos and summary updates I got about the girls on a daily.”
“Lauren was a fantastic sitter for my two anxious cats. She took time to come over and meet us before I left & asked great questions to make sure she understood everything. I appreciated her photos & update and returned to 2 happy cats. Thank you Lauren!”
“Brian took care of our kitten for us while we were on vacation. He arrived and left at the agreed upon times and took such great care of Peanut. He communicated and sent us pictures every time he visited which made my girls feel better about leaving him. He went above and beyond and helped us with some house things that we forgot about. We’ll definitely ask for his help again.”

About: I’ve cared for my family’s dogs and cats since I was able to help as a child. I have experience watching dogs of various breeds/sizes and cats of all ages!

So I am available on my days off to hang out with your pet and provide excellent care! I provide a quiet environment to pets of all ages and breeds, as well as years of experience being around animals. Safety is my priority with your pet!

About: I have been an ER nurse for 3 years now, I provide a calming energy while under immense stress and chaos! I pride myself on being very empathetic and caring with my patients and will do just the same with your pets! I grew up having dogs and have very much been missing it, I am looking forward to this opportunity! As a nurse I work 3 12s a week, leaving 4 days completely open to care for your pets! On my days off from my nursing job I have open availability any time of day!! I am an active individual who loves spending time outside and is looking for more opportunities to do just that! I grew up taking my family dogs on many walks and loved every minute of it! I often am trusted to check on family/friends pets (and plants!), i make sure to leave the house better than i found it!
“Hannah was so great with Finn! She has a great understanding of animal behavior. She sent us lots of updates and pictures. She was definitely respectful of everything we asked, showed up on time and we could tell Finn was comfortable with her.”
About: I grew up with multiple pets my whole life, with most being medium to large dogs of various breeds. I have 15 solid years of experience with dogs, some cats, and other animals. I am an animal lover at heart, and I am looking for work to give back and care for animals in the community! I am currently in a transition between jobs and am aiming to work remote in the future. I can fit care into a flexible schedule. I aim to communicate effectively with each client before going forward with a service to best meet their needs and the needs of their pet!
“Kim is the absolute best, leaving my pup is very sad but I feel comforted knowing Kim is going to be checking in on her. Plus, the highlight of my day is the little notes Kim leaves along with pictures of my sweet Suggie!! I can't thank Kim enough for being so reliable and trustworthy!”
About: I have been watching animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up in a house full of cats and dogs, I've been involved with puppies/kittens to senior pets as well. I'm available to administer medication if needed. I've looked after animals for my neighbors, friends, family, and co-workers as well as those I have been recommended to from existing clientele. I currently work full time, but am remote Thursday and Fridays. I work from 8-5 PM everyday, with an hour break from 12-1 PM. I can work around my schedule and yours for your pets needs! Available on the weekends, all day, as well. I have a back yard at my home in case that your fur baby needs to stay with me for a duration. I do have a cat at the home, but he sticks to himself (will hide away - he's not mean but is pretty shy!). If the animals needs to be crated, I have plenty of space for that, or if they are used to free-roaming, the house will be taken care of so there's nothing they'd be able to get into.
“Hanna was very attentive and responsive. We needed care last minute and she was able to respond right away and confirm all the information. Both our dogs had a great time in Hanna care.”
About: I have taken care of dogs of all sizes since I was young. Family and neighbors have relied on me to walk and feed their pets. Now I enjoy dog sitting in my free time. I have experience hosting pets and also house sitting. Also, I grew up with a small dog who is now 13!! I am currently working full time during the week. I have availability before 7:30am and after 5pm on the week days. I am available most weekends. Scheduling can be discussed further once we book! I live in a small apartment, so I am primarily looking to host smaller pups. I am comfortable with feeding pets of all sizes, provided proper portion sizes are given. I am also comfortable taking your pets on walks and to the dog park if that is in their routine.
