Hailey was amazing taking care of my two kitties. One of them takes medication and she did everything asked. Chaz is very weary with other people. It took a couple times and Chaz was happy to see her. She was also quick of responding to me when I wanted her to add some medication to my other cat. I’m new to this and glad I decided to go with her. I will use her in the future. She was so very nice, thank you Hailey!

About: Aloha, My name is Sierra and I’m a huge animal lover! I have grown up with animals my entire life. I’ve had dogs, cats, birds, lizards…you name it. I’m comfortable with any kind of pet. Being surrounded by animals has really sparked a passion in me and even led me into my career. I used to work full time as a veterinary technician, so you know your fur babies are in good hands with me! I can’t wait to meet your adorable pets! I am currently a stay at home mom with my almost 2 year old daughter so I will have plenty of time to give your fur baby all the love and attention they deserve! I have a fully fenced yard so you never have to worry about them getting loose. I have 3 cats of my own who are all very friendly and do well with other cats and dogs, however accommodations can always be made and my cats can be confined to a certain area of the house.

About: Hi, I’m Nick. I provide structured, dependable pet care built around routine, supervision, and clear communication. Over the years, I’ve worked with a wide range of breeds and personalities, from working dogs like Brittanys and English Labs to rare breeds like the Swedish Vallhound, as well as rescued strays and foster animals. I adjust care based on temperament, energy level, and age, ensuring each pet feels secure and engaged. This range of experience has taught me how to read behavior, manage different energy levels, and maintain a stable environment for dogs that thrive on structure as well as those who simply need consistency and patience. My goal is simple: treat every pet like family and give owners peace of mind knowing their companions are in good hands. Oh and lots of pictures :) Because I work from home, your pet is rarely left alone. I provide a stable, structured environment with consistent supervision throughout the day, ideal for dogs that thrive on routine and attentive care. Safety and structure come first in my home. I double check gates and entry points before every walk, use secure leashing practices, and maintain a controlled environment to prevent overstimulation. Whether caring for a senior cat or a high-energy retriever, I tailor each pet’s routine to match their age, temperament, and energy level to keep them safe, balanced, and comfortable.

About: I have various experience with all sorts of animals, including large farm animals. As a current owner of two dogs and one cat, I’m comfortable with them all and want to help your animal feel loved and cared for when you are not able to be there with them. I love getting down on the floor to rub puppy bellies and getting cats to play. I will do my absolute best to make sure your pet(s) are having a great time while you are away and provide them any comfort they may need. From cuddle bugs to loners, I’ve dealt with them all and know how to alter my approach to best suit your fur babies. I guarantee they’ll love me in no time and be beyond excited to see me on my next trip! I’m a server so I have plenty of time during the day to stop in and play with your pets to ensure they are feeling loved while you’re away! By staying in your home, I can make sure that your pets feel safe and at ease, rather than making them come into a new unknown environment.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs, always at least 3 at a time and all sizes and shapes. What else to say… I just love dogs. 😊 I’m working nighttime and ready to take care of your pet every day after 9 am. I can come morning and/or afternoon, once or twice a day. I will come and look around first to make sure it’s clean and I will check the water and the food. Then I will take your pet or a walk and play a bite with his own toys and I’ll have some with me.

Caroline was the best cat sitter for our elderly cat!! She was so responsive, kind, and sent constant updates throughout the day. I could tell from the photos that our cat, who is normally pretty shy, was super thrilled to see her. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
