Jenna is our go-to drop in sitter. She communicates effectively, sends great photos, and always cares for our cats as if we are home. Most recently, we had some issues with a medication delivery and Jenna went and picked up the medication for us and paid for it out of her own pocket. She is excellent as a sitter and I could not recommend her more.

Liz is phenomenal! She took excellent care of our two boys while we were out of town. They're usually very skittish around strangers, but warmed up to Liz right away ☺️. She kept us up to date with plenty of adorable photos, and was kind enough to reach out whenever she had a question or concern about our kitties' routines. 10/10, I cannot recommend Liz enough!

About: As a toddler until I was 10, we had dacshaunds. I loved them so but when you discover them after they have passed, it leaves an impression on you. I've lived with Doberman-Rottweilers, smaller schnauzers and pet most every pup I see with permission, of course. I would love to visit with the dogs if my community. I work virtually 4 days a week and have a lot of flexibility. This allows me the ability to watch pets, and care for my own. I have 4 indoor cats and a myriad of outdoor cats. I play with them, feed them and provide then with their favorite snacks: Churus. Cleaning up the box during each visit is a given considering cats need a neat space. For dogs, I would make sure to have bags to get their waste and keep snacks to make sure their given something for good behavior.

I knew that Lauren was going to be Tinkers sitter shortly after speaking with her. Not only does she pet sit, but her job is working with animals as well. So I knew Tinker would be in good hands. If Lauren will have us, we’ll be asking her again next time we go somewhere. Thank you again, Lauren

Holly was awesome with our four Kid-ttens. The 2 youngest really love spending time with Holly on the patio. They always had food & water top off. Their litter boxes were cleaned out. We were very p)eased with the quality of her service. We will call on Holly again. We highly recommend her to watch over your babies too

About: I have been around animals my whole life and I love them! I have my own dog Salem who is 2 and I have two kitties Lena (3 years) and Bella (7 years)! I love taking care of and being around animals! I am very protective over my own animals and would love and care for yours as if they were my own! I currently work a full time job 8-4 two days out of the week I work from home. The days I go into the office I am available to walk your fur baby before work and after work and free on weekends to check in when needed. I live in a one bedroom apartment so I don’t have a yard but I live right on the river walk and can take them on long walks and there is a un fenced area where I take Salem to play and have a 50 ft lead that could be used for them to run around and for me to play with them out there.

Kara was incredibly sweet and kept me well-informed about everything happening with my pets while I was away. She dedicated ample time during her visits, ensuring they received plenty of love and attention in my absence. Trusting a stranger with your fur babies and home can be daunting, but Kara made the experience completely comfortable. I’m truly grateful for her exceptional care. 20/10!

About: I have been a dog mom my whole life and a cat grandma for the last couple of years. I am content to be anything from a lap to a hiking companion for all of the dogs and cats of the world. Whatever your fur family needs. Animals just get me more than people do and I love them for that. I am taking a sabbatical from the real world and grown up things - so I am always available to provide care for your animals. I am unable to provide boarding because I am renting my property. I will follow all guidance/instructions provided when I care for pets in their homes. Ideally, my dog Koa would be with me while I am pet sitting. He sits out the long walks though.

About: I believe no matter what age that every dog is a good boy, or girl. Elderly or young they’re just as perfect in my eyes. I’m a college student only going 2 days a week for a few hours. Other than that I’m perfectly happy setting aside time to help out! I take care of your animals just as you instruct! If you say a cup of food, I’ll ask what size. It’s important that the owner is just as happy as the animal.

I needed someone to drop in on Brodie over the weekend while I was traveling, and Jess was absolutely wonderful! She was so kind, and her communication was excellent from start to finish. She was even happy to have a FaceTime call before the first visit, which gave me great peace of mind. Jess came by four times in total, always on time, and sent tons of pictures and videos so I could see how happy my boy was with her. It’s clear she truly cares. 10/10 I would definitely recommend her!

This is my first time trusting a stranger to take care of my fur baby and Julia was exceptional. I felt comfortable with her dropping in to check on and feed my lil buddy. She was very commutative but not overbearing. Definitely will be booking her again
