“Kara is a very caring pet sitter! She has watched my cats on 2 different weekends now. She always takes time to play with my kitties and learn their personality and needs. One of my cats is slow to warm up to people and can be very cautious and she is always patient with him. Her updates are very informative which is helpful for me when I am out of town! My cats can get anxious and overeat and she graciously cleaned up their messy throw-up and offered to spray down my carpet. Definitely book Kara!”
“Michelle was so amazing, what a life saver! Our cat is outside but needs meds. Michelle was so caring and thoughtful about making sure our cat got the pills, even on days where she was hiding and wouldn’t come out. Michelle’s updates were very detailed and allowed me to relax while on vacation. I’m so grateful!”
“Melanie was so fantastic to our two cats! We have one shy girl and she actually came out and played with Melanie! We were expecting for her to never see our Lulu. She gave such great updates and sent so many pictures that really eased my anxiety about leaving them. Will definitely request her again!”
“Alia did a great job with Louie. He is almost 18 years old so he is a bit complicated to care for. She sent pictures and we could tell he was doing well.”
“Maddie came to my home twice as I was at a wedding that was an hour away. She let my young pup out and took care of her. Maddie cleaned the cage as my little girl had an accident the second time around when she visited, and I'm grateful for that. This was my first time using someone to come into my home but after Maddie came to visit my pup and I prior, I felt comfortable and booked her. Maddie provided pictures and messages, so if you are looking for someone, Maddie is a good choice.”
“Travis came to help out last minute when I had a previously caretaker cancel on me. He made immediate availability on his schedule and took time to meet with the pups to cover all things care for them. It’s not easy to tackle 3 Rottweilers at once, but they all loved him! Took great care and will be using him again!”
“Justice was absolutely amazing! She did a meet & greet before dogsitting in our home for our 3 dogs while we were away for the weekend. Left great notes & put up pictures of our dogs, and really took them time to make them all comfortable. We would definitely book with her again!”
“I had such peace of mind knowing someone was checking in while I was away. I really enjoyed the photos and comments. I would definitely recommend Patricia to anyone looking to book her.”
“Kam was sweet, kind, considerate and understanding. I knew my cat was in good hands while I was out of town. Kam made sure she got her medication on time everyday and administered with love!”
“Sahara was prompt to our meet and greet and on time for the first visit. Communication was excellent and response time was less than 15 min for every message I had with them. The amount of detail in the visit card was great and the photos were good to have. Nova was very excited to meet Sahara and my wife and I are looking forward to many more drop in visits.”
“She’s amazing! My pup is an anxious one and she’s made her feel so comfortable. Very smooth process, great communication. Couldn’t ask for a better experience.”

“Selena has been watching our dogs when we go on vacation for over a year now. They are always well taken care of, and she's a great communicator!”
“Heidi did a great job taking care of my three dogs. She is detail oriented and easy to work with. I would definitely use her as a pet sitter again.”
About: I grew up with dogs and other animals. I have experience in puppies to elderly animals. I have experience giving meds, special diets, and lots of love. Taking care of my dog was a day in and day out routine, as he was very codependent and was with me nonstop everywhere I went. He recently passed away and as much as I love dogs, I just can not commit to another after the love I lost in mine. So I would love the opportunity to share my love with your furry family member as needed. Thank you I have a 2 story home that is full of love. I have a huge field and pond right outside my front door. Plenty of walking area.
“Trish came up huge for me when I needed a last second stop in!”
About: I have had all types of pets and critters growing up! I am able to administer medicine. I'm a teacher so my summer is completely free for all of your pet's basic needs! I am completely free this summer to take care of your pets! My routine is customized to whatever your pet needs. I am able to focus solely on your family member :) I am BCI and FBI background checked. I have tons of patience inside and outside the classroom. I love animals and enjoy spending my time doing something meaningful! I am respectful and clean up after pets/myself/whatever you need done that isn't for pets. I'm just happy to help! Especially if I notice a mess or something that can help you feel relaxed after your busy day or stay. In my home: I have 2 playful brother kitties who were a foster fail! We love them so much, I had to keep them. They are the perfect cats: playful, loving, tolerant of everything, and also love to chill out and eat. I also have my 2 children half of the week, ages 7 and 4, who LOVE animals and are big helpers. Your pet will get the loving family vibe, as well as the best care!

“There are not enough words to describe how wonderful Liz is! Everything about her - from the way she parents her children to her chosen profession as a special education teacher, to her eclectic array of pets exudes a deep level of care and commitment to everyone and everything.

I’ve seen her with all types of pets - from cuddly baby kittens to large full grown dogs to iguanas and parakeets, She will care for your beloved pets with careful attention to their individual needs and they will be showered with gentle attention and loving care.

“Caroline has watched all of my dogs over the last 5 years. I've had 3, 2 older dogs and a puppy. She is awesome & they love her! With very little instruction, she handles them with ease. One of my dogs is on a thyroid pill and Caroline has no problem giving him his medication daily. She walk all of them daily (even though they are large dogs) without any problems. I have recommended her to neighbors and friends and will continue to call her to pet sit!! Thanks”
