“Charles was such a sweetheart the entire process! I got regular check-ins and my dog and cat were happy to meet him and well taken care of while I was away. Thanks again for all your help!”

“Katelyn is great! Our Morkie 'Ruby' warmed up to her on their first meet up. Being away from "our daughter" was anxiety-making, we're rarely apart. Katelyn made sure we saw daily photos, and ensured us that Ruby was well taken care of, which was such a relief! Katelyn is our Go-To Pet Sitter!!!”

“Erin was great with my high energy dog, Bodie. He enjoys her mid-day visits and the positive attention. She was flexible with a last minute booking when my other sitter had an emergency pop up and is awesome to work with.”

“Ashley was amazing. You can tell she is a huge animal lover and an even amazing sitter. I can’t say enough good things about her. It definitely kept me at peace during my trip knowing that Duke was being so well taken care of. Thank you again! And will be definitely rebook on our other trips.”

About: I started out watching my friends’ pets when they were away or when their other dog was in heat, and I quickly realized how much I loved caring for animals. I even rescued a dog myself, so I understand the importance of patience, love, and trust. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every pet like my own—making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I make my own schedule, which gives me the flexibility to provide personalized care for pets. Whether it’s morning walks, playtime, or feeding, I can easily fit pet sitting into my day. I plan my work and personal tasks around the care I give to pets, ensuring they always receive the attention they deserve while keeping everything else organized. It’s a perfect balance of flexibility and reliability for both me and the pets I care for! I care for pets in my home with lots of love and attention, making sure they feel comfortable and safe. I have a playful dog of my own who loves meeting new friends, so your pet will have a buddy to interact with and enjoy playtime. I create a cozy and pet-friendly environment where they can relax, play, and get plenty of love. Whether it’s walks, meals, or just snuggling, I ensure every pet feels at home during their stay.
“Nina was phenomenal with my fur-babies. One of my cats was having a mid-life crisis that weekend and was not very nice to her, yet, she managed to make it work and I really appreciate her for that. Thank you for taking such good care of Moo Moo and Mito 😻”

About: As a lifelong animal lover, I truly enjoy caring for pets and treating each one as if they were my own. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I love giving pets the attention, affection, and comfort they need to feel at home. I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member with someone else, and I take that responsibility to heart. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I provide in-home care in a calm, comfortable environment, always centered around your pet’s routine, personality, and individual needs. Because some pups do best with one-on-one attention, single-client care is available by request, depending on my schedule. This option allows me to focus exclusively on your pet, with no shared stays and truly dedicated attention. If single-client care sounds like a good fit for your pet, feel free to mention it in your booking request and I’m happy to share availability and details. I’m always happy to answer questions and make sure we’re a great fit. I work from home with flexibility in my schedule, which makes it easy to support frequent potty breaks, long walks, and plenty of cuddles—whatever your pet needs to feel comfortable and loved. I have a large screened-in back patio and a fully fenced backyard. Our patio includes a doggy door, so pets can safely move between indoor and outdoor spaces at their leisure.
About: I have loved animals all my life and have a genuine rapport with them. My clients become friends and keep me as their most trusted sitter for years. I would love to help you with your furry loved ones too! I am a retired Physical Therapist Assistant and after taking care of people for years now I really want to just take care of animals. They calm my soul and fill my heart with their unconditional love. I enjoy taking doggies for walks, or sitting with a kitty on my lap. My best memories involve somebody with four legs! ;o) I will stay in your home and care for all your needs while I am there. All pet care needs as well as watering plants, mail/package collecting, home security, whatever needs attention. I will leave your home clean and well respected. I have never had a dissatisfied client, and my integrity is one thing I bring with me everywhere I go.

About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs for almost 7 years and have 8 years of overall experience caring for pets. I’ve babysat my neighbors’ dogs many times, and they trust me to give their pets lots of love, attention, and care while they’re away. I always send picture updates so owners can feel comfortable knowing their dogs are happy and safe. I also have a friendly dog of my own who gets along well with other dogs, and with permission, I can bring my dog to interact and play with them to help keep them active and social. I’ve been an animal lover since I was in 3rd grade, and some people even call me a “dog whisperer” because animals naturally seem to trust and connect with me. I truly believe dogs are one of the most loyal and loving companions a person can have, and I treat every dog like they’re part of my family. I am currently home from college for the summer, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I am available most weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-ins, boarding, and overnight care. I have years of experience caring for dogs and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I have friendly dogs for social interaction if wanted, can crate dogs if needed, and always follow owners’ instructions carefully. I provide regular updates and photos so owners feel reassured while away.
About: I love all types of animal! I am very outgoing, adventurous, patient, and friendly. I have cared for all kinds of animal in my time of caretaking, I personally owned a guinea pig, dog, and fish. What sets me apart from other sitter is that I have a lot of patience which allows me to slow down and properly care for the animal. I can provide a caring, respectfully efficient service that will leave you and your furry friend pleased :) I am currently working part-time therefore I have plenty of time to care for your animal whether it be taking them outside for a walk or serving as a pet sitter. I am currently available on Wednesdays and Sundays, all other days will be by a case by case basis depending on my schedule but if I am free and available, I will be more than happy to assist :) Caring for your pet in your home will be a breeze. Based on the setup and accommodations that you have for your animal (leash, cage, fence, pet food, etc.) I will be able to easily navigate properly caring for your pet. From past experience, I have been advised from pet owners on what they would like me to do and how they would like me to do it and I efficiently complete the task while of course making sure the animal is loved and safe :)
“Kaia was a great pet sitter! She was quick to respond and sent so many photos and videos, along with great, detailed reports each visit. I would highly recommend Kaia and will be using her again in the future!”

“Kristen saved us & came last minute to spend quality time with our boy while we were at the parks. I will definitely be using her again next time we are in town :)”

“We had such a wonderful experience with Noelani! She took the best care of our cat Waffles while we were away for a week. Waffles is super social and loves human company, and Noelani went above and beyond - spending quality time with him, sending us thoughtful updates with pictures and videos, and giving him all the snuggles and lap time he loves. We told her he’s a fan of chin scratches, brushing, and Churu treats - and she made sure he got all that and more. Seeing photos of him happily curled up on her lap, kneading and purring, made us feel so at ease. She even visited on his birthday and brought him a special treat. We were blown away by her thoughtfulness. It was such a relief knowing Waffles was in kind, capable, cat-loving hands. We came home to a happy, relaxed kitty - and we feel so lucky to have found Noelani. Waffles can’t wait to hang out with her again!”

Katelyn was wonderful with our two golden doodles. She was always on time, followed instructions carefully, and clearly paid attention to the little details. Most importantly, she was so sweet and caring with our dogs, and we felt completely comfortable leaving them in her hands. Would recommend and will use again.

Juli has been an absolute gem for my cat Pinky. She is very flexible to changes, communication was on point from the start. She has a heart of gold and truly loves animals and goes above and beyond too take care of them. I highly recommend Juli for any task, she is just incredible.
