“Camille was so wonderful with Max and made me feel so much better about leaving him. She was also extremely flexible with our travel plans, our flight kept changing and she rolled with it. We are so lucky to have her in our lives!”
“The best with my girl Persephone. She was able to take her in very last minute and was very very flexible. I really appreciate all of her help and the way she was with Persephone during this tough transitional period. Loved all the pictures and videos she sent and I noticed that Persephone became less stressed overtime which I love. Highly recommend Madalys to everyone!”
“So kind and helpful! Wonderful through the process start to finish. Made my week away much less stressful knowing my cats were taken care of. (Even though one was taking out his frustration of our pending cross country move /absence on the house, she handled him amazingly!)”
“Rose want above and beyond to make sure my sweet Baci girl was well cared for- asks lots of clarifying questions and it’s nice to have someone who cares so deeply. She is professional, prompt and I felt totally at ease knowing my kitty was in such good hands. Will def be booking her again!”
“I use Tatiana regularly to care for my kitty Bella. Recently I had to be away for 2 weeks. Bella loves Tatiana and was relaxed and happy the whole time I was gone. Tatiana goes above and beyond to ensure I have peace of mind when I have to be away and to be sure Bella has everything she needs!”
“Jenny did a great job with our cats Maki and Levi. She fed them, cleaned their litter and played with them during her visit. Maki is relatively shy around strangers but seemed to open up to Jenny after only her second visit. We will definitely plan to rebook with her!”
About: I’m currently in school to become a licensed Veterinary Technician & am on track to being a dog trainer. I care for my clients’ dogs as if they were my own and if pet sitting like to make sure they have all their needs, mental & physical, met and fully satisfied. I make a schedule for pet care and share with pet parent for approval. I work three days a week & am in school but would never take a pet sitting opportunity without having sufficient time for the pet and confirming how long the pet can be alone. I take into consideration the pet’s preferences as well as requests given by pet parent. I like to make sure mental and physical exercise are provided daily.
“Lindsey is amazing! When my dog was sick and unable to go to daycare, she was available to drop by last minute and took incredible care of Molly on her walk/drop in visit. Lindsey was incredibly patient with Molly, who can be very shy and unsure around new people, and got her out of her shell, trusting and happy in no time! I couldn’t recommend Lindsey more.”
About: I’ve spent most of my life around animals, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I’ve helped raise both cats and dogs—from playful kittens and puppies to seniors who need a little more patience and support. I know how to move slowly when needed, how to bring calm into the room, and how to make animals feel safe when their person isn’t home. What sets me apart is the way I pay attention. I notice shifts in behavior, I follow instructions closely, and I respect the unique rhythm of every animal. Whether it’s sticking to feeding routines, cleaning up with care, administering meds, or offering quiet company, I show up fully. My presence is steady, gentle, and reliable—something animals tend to trust quickly. Pet care fits naturally into my routine—I have the flexibility to give animals the time and attention they deserve, whether that’s for walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays. I genuinely enjoy being present with them, and I make space in my schedule to prioritize their needs. For longer bookings—like stays over three days or week-long care—I do ask for a bit of notice so I can plan accordingly and give your pets my full presence. As long as communication is clear, I’m reliable, consistent, and happy to accommodate what your animals need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with the same respect and care I’d want for my own. I follow your routines closely—feeding, walks, litter, meds, play—while keeping the environment calm and consistent so your pet feels secure. I pay attention to the details, whether that means soft energy for an anxious animal or active engagement for one that needs more stimulation. I understand that it’s not just about the pet—it’s about the home, too. I leave things tidy, follow instructions carefully, and do what I can to keep your pet’s world feeling steady until you return.
“Our experience with Rover was wonderful. Anne was terrific and you could tell how much she loves animals. It was so comforting to leave our 2 cats for a week in her care. Getting photos every day makes being away easier. Will definitely use them again and would 10 out of 10 recommend their services.”
About: Hi ! Thanks for checking out my profile. For years I have been the go-to dog sitter for all close friends and family. I love all types of dogs & I'm very good at understanding what your dog wants/needs so I can keep them happy! I have worked with all types of dogs ranging in age and size. I also volunteer at the local shelter and have successfully fostered 8 dogs. My most recent foster was a foster hospice senior special needs dog with severe arthritis and incontinence. I look forward to meeting your pup! If you need a feeding along with the walk, please book as a drop in visit! Please note that I only book house stays within a 5 mile radius of my home. I work from home almost full time (running my own business) so I can be at home with your pup for most of the time during my stay. I’ll take care of them, take them on walks, play with them, and most importantly do my best to stick to their regular daily routine!

“Sam is a conscientious, reliable and trustworthy pet sitter who took great care of my cat. Sam always asked thoughtful questions and double-checked with me if something was unclear. He made sure to play with my cat and give him plenty of attention. When our plans changed, Sam was helpful and willing to change his schedule. He even remembered important things I forgot, like returning our house key to us! I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
