“Kristen is by far the best sitter we have ever had for our cats. A total cat girl and you can she actually loves our cats. She is overly thorough and has a lot of pride in her services and it shows. We are so grateful for her flexibility and willingness to step in when we are away.”

“This was our first time using Rover. After several days of reviewing profiles we decided to reach out to Andrea. We knew we made the right choice from the moment she messaged us back. She immediately asked about a meet and greet. One of our cats has a gastrointestinal medical issue that requires daily medicine. And all of our cats are extremely high maintenance and picky. Andrea stayed for an hour learning about their eating patterns and daily medicine routine for our youngest cat. While we were gone Andrea took excellent care of our babies. We came home to happy relaxed cats. We will definitely be using Andrea again for our next trip.”

“Jessica did a wonderful job watching our cat! She took notes during the meet and greet, and took great care of him while we were out of town. He seemed comfortable with her right away, and he seemed really happy and relaxed when we came home. We will definitely book with her again!”

“Mackenzie has always watched our feisty, 7 yr old cat & she was very quickly able to warm up to our new, little Daisy! She watched the girls through the holidays & it was obvious from the photos how much they love her!”

About: For the past five years, I’ve had the joy of caring for pets right here in our neighborhood, building a reputation as a reliable and loving sitter. Because I also have extensive experience as a neighborhood babysitter, safety, scheduling, and giving undivided attention are second nature to me. Whether it's keeping a high-energy pup entertained or making sure a shy cat feels safe, I treat every animal with the same patience and care I bring to childcare. As a proud pet mom myself to my dog, Indigo, and my two cats, I completely understand how important a routine is. I know firsthand that dogs and cats have very different personalities and needs, and I'm fully equipped to handle both! From structured walks and playtime to feeding schedules and cozy cuddle sessions, your furry family members will be in safe, experienced, and loving hands while you're away. Because I work part-time, my routine is structured directly around my shifts. I always coordinate my exact visit times with you in advance so you know exactly when to expect me! As an experienced cat mom of two felines and a long-time neighborhood babysitter, I know that every cat has a totally unique personality. Whether your kitty is a social butterfly who craves attention or a shy hider who needs their space, I tailor my visits entirely to their comfort level. During every visit, you can expect: Reliable Routines: I strictly follow your feeding schedules, fresh water refills, and specific treats or medication routines. Spotless Litter Boxes: Cleanliness is a top priority for me—I keep the litter area tidy and scooped during every visit. Playtime & Cuddles: For playful kitties, I’ll bring out the laser pointers, wand toys, and catnip. For calmer cats, I'm happy to provide gentle chin scratches or quiet companionship. Great Communication & Updates: You’ll get detailed updates and plenty of cute photo check-ins so you never have to wonder how your furry friend is doing. Safety First: My 5 years of experience looking after neighborhood pets and children means I am incredibly vigilant about closed doors, secure locks, and a safe environment. I treat your home with total respect and your cats like they are my own family!
“Izzy was so great with our kitties! She spent quality time with them while we were out of town. Izzy also shared pictures & videos with us that we enjoyed viewing and assured us our kitties were in good hands! I can’t thank her enough!”

“Kailey was a very good fit for my Bonnie. She cared for my girl with so much love and devotion. She met her medical needs and was genuinely concerned for her care. I received daily updates and communication. I trust her completely and will definitely use her from now on as long as she is available. Kailey has a beautiful, caring demeanor about her from the moment we first met, and I knew she was the best person for my Bonnie.”

“Toni is AMAZING!!!!! I can't thank you enough Toni, our cat just adores you! You provided such detailed updates on every visit and were always on time. I can really see how much you care about animals. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I already have my next 3 trips booked with Toni!”

“Auriel was absolutely wonderful! She was kind, respectful, and very mindful of the rules I had in place. She made time to meet up with me beforehand and kept me consistently updated about my cats while I was away. Both of my kitties clearly adored her — it showed in the sweet photos she sent throughout her visits. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such caring hands. I’ll definitely be using Auriel again and recommend her without hesitation!”

“Emily was just amazing! She really loves the dogs and treats them as her own. I love the pictures she sends daily and she even took the time to do a meet and greet and get to know us and the pups. Highly reccommend and will be using her again in the near future!”

“Geri is so good with our dog Winston. She has formed a bond with him. I interviewed her on a Sunday and she started two later. She really helped calm me down about leaving my boy alone. I highly recommend her.”

“Stephanie was so great with Onyx, going above and beyond during the time she spent with him! She kept us informed, was very communicative & sent lots of pics!! We appreciate her ♥️”

About: I’ve grew up with animals since I can remember. I had to stop myself from brining home every animal that needed a home haha. Being around animals so often, mainly dogs and cat has taught me not only how to properly take care of them but also understand them while building a loving and trusting bond. Yolenny is the founder of a dedicated pet care service called Moos faithful hounds LLC. Her inspiration to Create this business was inspired her profound love for animals and in memory of her French bulldog, Moo Friend. She believes every animal is unique and deserves personalized care. My passion for animals and the drive to begin training blossomed as I cared for both my dogs, Nala and Moo. However, Nala my Labrador was what sparked my interest to start training. Through Nala, I learned the foundations of dog training. Over time, through formal courses and hands-on experience, I discovered a true calling: connecting with each dogs unique personality and needs, so I can help them thrive. As a military service member, my mission is to bring my love, knowledge, and experience to every pet I care for, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and understood When I provide my services, safety is always my priority. Safety protocols can be different for each pet. With that being said, I always communicate with the owner to understand and adjust safety protocols based on each pet's needs.

Jorden has taken care of my dog and cat many times now for various weekend trips and my longest two week vacation. She has always been readily available and great with the animals. My dog is a big German shepherd and she handles him with ease and even does his eye drops twice daily. Jorden is very reliable and will always be my go-to sitter.

Alexa is amazing!!! She not only came to rescue when we needed last minute help but went above and beyond to take care of my cats. I really appreciate her communication, photos and that she even cleaned up when it wasn’t asked of her! Will definitely have Alexa help watch my little angels again asap!

Evan was awesome with my two cats. They loved him and appreciated his playing. Evan provided extremely thorough and detailed updates to me in each of his visits and asked any clarifying questions he needed to. I would highly recommend Evan to anyone looking for a sitter in the area.
