“I have found my person! Emily is a true animal lover. She took wonderful care of my chocolate lab and my cat peanut. (my other cat just hides all the time.). It allowed me to be away with my family without worry or concern. The schedule that I have with my dog is pretty rigorous and she followed it without fail. I am so grateful to her and will 1000% ask her to come watch my animals again.”

“Jillian was great! She was quick to reach and easy to work with. Came to meet and greet with our girls(Sadie and Minnie). Kept lines of communication open at all times. It was a great relief to know our pets were home being well cared for and safe! 10/10 recommend!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals for 20+ years. I’ve been an animal lover my whole life. My husband and I have rescued some of the best animals over the years. We currently have an assortment of animals from two cats, a dog and chickens oh and my daughters hermit crab. I’m available to take care of your dogs during the week early mornings and late afternoons / evenings. I am also available on the weekends and can board your dogs as long as they get along with other dogs , cats and children. I enjoy taking taking my dog on long walks and hikes with my family. If that is something you want me to do I will do the same with yours. I look forward to hearing from you so we can discuss your animals needs and how I can help you take care of them when you can’t be home.
“Jon was amazing! He cared for our five dogs, chickens, and fish. He gave my senior dog daily medication and did diaper changes. Fed the chickens and collected eggs. He also got the mail and the house was cleaner when we got home then when we left. Jon is very personable, professional, and my dogs love him! Got daily updates and pictures too! Prompt response and communication from Jon made me feel very secure and confident. We cannot say enough about this great experience! We definitely recommend Jon for care of your animal family!”
“We had a wonderful experience with our pet sitter Margaret! She took excellent care of my dog, Otto, and made sure he was happy, comfortable, and well-loved while I was traveling. I really appreciated the regular updates with pictures and great communication—it gave me so much peace of mind. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, responsible, kind and caring pet sitter!”

“Stephen is a phenomenal communicator, with humans and pups. He’s very friendly and professional, and is terrific at what he does! Look forward to having him sit for our brood again soon.”

Responsible and attentive, I ensure a safe and secure environment for your pets. I follow your routine, handle pets gently, and maintain a clean and comfortable space.
“Katie was absolutely lovely, and the pets got on with her really well. She sent through updates and photos, and made sure we felt comfortable (all on a holiday, too!) -- thank you Katie!”


“Christine is a down-to-earth person who is easy to talk with and pays attention to important details. At our meet & greet, she asked good questions that reflected her experience and commitment to making both pets and their owners feel comfortable with her. My young adult cat Suki had never been left alone with someone she didn’t already know. In my absence, however, Christine eased her way into Suki’s territory by setting the right balance between showing her some quiet attention and giving her the time and space she needed to adjust and come out of her shell. The photos Christine sent me proved that once she had won Suki over, the little kitty was her sweet, affectionate self and the two of them had a delightful time together! I will be asking Christine to Suki-sit in my house again!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for years and currently have two dogs and a hedgehog of my own 💗 Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to help with walks, feeding, check-ins, and giving their pets attention when they need it. I have experience with different personalities from energetic pups to shy or older pets, and I always take the time to understand what makes each animal comfortable. I work part-time during the week, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care 🐾 I’m available Sundays and around my shifts for walks, feeding, check-ins, playtime, and overnight stays. I’m happy to keep pets active with walks and play or spend quiet time with pets who just want company 🤍 I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family 🐶🤍 I’m patient with nervous pets, comfortable caring for senior pets, and experienced with following specific routines. I can administer oral medications, ear drops, and eye drops when needed, and I always make sure owners’ instructions are followed carefully.
About: I have been called Dr. Dolittle my entire life. I have a knack for connecting with animals of all kinds. My very first job was working at a local farm with all different types of animals like horses, goats, pigs, chickens, ducks, etc. It was one of my favorite jobs, I got lucky! I also worked at a dog boarding facility which gave me experience working with multiple dogs at once. I always give animals the space to have their specific personality and the respect they deserve, as I would treat a human. Animals are often misunderstood, I’ve always tried to meet them where they stand. If there is one thing I am confident in, it’s making an animal feel safe and comfortable. And they do the same for me :) I would love to meet your faithful friend and see if they find me worthy of a tail wag or a belly pet! I currently work a very flexible part-time job. I have a lot of availability and can be very flexible. Working with animals is more than a job to me, I very much enjoy it. I will find ways to work with you and your pets personal needs. I love to schedule a meet-up before providing pet care. This is just to see that we are all on the same page and everyone feels it's a good fit. I do not offer home services. I will travel to your home so your pet can be where they are most comfortable. I work around you and your pets comfort. As a pet owner myself, I understand it can be hard to leave your companions in someone else’s care. I want to do what it takes to make you feel 100% safe and at ease when leaving your furbabies in my care.
About: I'm here to take the stress off your shoulders. As an animal lover, I’m dedicated to providing your pets with the best care possible. From long walks and fun playtime to plenty of good ol' fashioned love, I’ll make sure they feel right at home. I have had a dog since I was 11 and I have taken care of many dogs of various sizes and demeanors. I am free most days of the week as I have classes at night. I would love to use this time to take care of a loving animal. I make it a priority to get to know the animal and make sure there is a sense of trust. I want to ensure that both your animal and I are able to get along well. I enjoy taking dogs on walks and playing with them in the yard.
“Kevin's great! He's taken care of Shadow before and come to meet the boys before hand. He had no problem syringe feeding our senior until we could be home to hand feed him, and he took great care of the boys. Sent pictures/ updates. The best.”

Randall was wonderful! He was very precise and careful with my dogs schedule. My dog started off shy but quickly adjusted to Randall and was very comfortable. Coming back from my trip I was glad to see everything as I had left. He updated as much as I requested and sent photos so I knew my dog was well taken care of. Would recommend and contact again!
