“Alissa did a wonderful job of taking care of our cat. She kept us updated on him daily, with photos. She was diligent with keeping everything clean as well. We will be asking for her to come back again very soon. I highly recommend.”



“We love Erinn! She has cared for my dog Oliver a few weekends now, and he is the only “stranger” he allows to get near him. She formed a bond with him and makes him comfortable while I have to be away. Very grateful for her!”


“Turin did an amazing job with our cat Noah! For the first time we left him for 10 days and felt a bit uneasy about it, but Turin took great care of him. She sent pictures daily so we always felt comfortable and Noah seems to have taken a quick liking as he was even photographed on her lap! Thanks so much Turin! Highly recommended and whenever we go away again I will be sure to call you.”

She arrived exactly as requested and did all the tasks that I asked of her. She texted me when she had a question, which made feel so confident that she was taking everything very serious and didn't want to make a mistake. I will 100% contact her again when I go away.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for over 5 years, from energetic puppies to sweet seniors. I offer dependable, gentle care tailored to your pet’s needs—walks, feeding, medication, and more. I treat every pet like my own and understand the importance of trust & communication. Whether you're away for a few hours or days, you’ll have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is safe, happy, and loved. I work part-time and attend school in the evenings, which gives me plenty of availability during the day and weekends for pet sitting and drop-in visits at your home. Whether it's a midday walk or keeping them company while you're away I’ll be happy to help! I only care for pets in their own home, where they feel safe, familiar, and relaxed. I follow all care instructions closely—whether it’s feeding, walking, giving medication, or maintaining routines. I always respect your home, lock up securely, and make sure your pet feels calm and loved while you're away. I send regular updates to give you peace of mind and treat every animal as if they were my own.

About: With a lifetime of experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, turtles, and guinea pigs, I bring a deep understanding and love for animals. From my Eagle Scout project, where I built a heated outdoor cat house and cat walk for an animal sanctuary, and volunteering at the same sanctuary caring for all the animals, to even birthing a dog with 7 puppies, I’ve always gone the extra mile to ensure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I grew up with 4 pit bulls, dobermans, and german shepherds. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority. I am pet first aid certified, a member of Pet Sitters International, AND a certified pet sitter. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. Every morning starts with feeding and checking on my birds, I ensure they have fresh food, clean cages, and some out-of-cage time for flying or play. My evenings include settling all the animals in my care, ensuring their environments are safe and comfortable, and spending quality time with each. Weekly, I focus on cleaning, grooming, and planning for upcoming stays or any special care needs. Pet care is more than a task for me—it’s a rewarding part of my everyday life. When we sit pets, we treat them like part of the family. In our secure, fenced yard, dogs get plenty of playtime and exercise, whether it’s fetch, running around, or simply exploring the space. Our yard is also treated with Vets Best tick/flea spray. I always supervise outdoor time to ensure they’re safe and happy. My goal is to ensure they feel at home while their owners are away, with a mix of outdoor fun, indoor comfort, and plenty of love.

About: Caring for animals has always come naturally to me. For over five years, I’ve provided reliable pet care for dogs and cats, from daily walks to overnight stays. I’m experienced with all ages and temperaments, including senior pets and those with anxiety. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe and loved Currently i work a full time job M-F 8-4pm. Open to pet sitting after work. Available all day on weekends. In August I will be starting law school and my schedule will open up to Fridays/Saturdays- Sundays all day I can accommodate pets who prefer alone time or need crating, and I follow any specific routines or instructions to make your pet feel at home. Cleanliness, comfort, and supervision are always a top priority.

About: I grew up with dogs. I’ve been around dogs my entire life. I love caring for them they’re my favorite animal. I helped my sister when her dog gave birth both times. I do this full time. I am always home. There is a dog park across the street from my house so they can run around if they would like. I have my own bowls, crates and doggy beds. I have lots lots of toys as well so your dog will always comfortable with me.

“Gabe did an excellent job caring for our two cats while we were away! One of them requires insulin injections and has a few quirks, and Gabe handled everything with confidence and care. He clearly paid attention during the meet and greet and followed instructions closely. Communication was great, and we felt totally at ease knowing they were in good hands. We’d happily book with Gabe again!”


“Archie absolutely adores Gisselle. When I returned, Archie was relaxed and happy, which is a testament to the wonderful care he received. I could tell that Gisselle had truly bonded with my dog and treated him like her own.Thanks Gisselle,I am sure Archie is looking forward to seeing you again.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over eight years and I’ve always stepped in to help friends and family when they travel. Since I was 17 now that I’m turning 32 I have been trusted sitter for multiple families building strong relationships based on reliability and care. I have experience with puppies, including basic training like potty pads sit paw and outdoor bathroom habits, as well as with senior dogs who need extra attention due to health issues. I’m also very patient with timid dogs and love helping them feel safe and comfortable over overtime. More than anything I truly love animals. When their families are away, I do my best to make them feel safe loved and right at home. I work from home and I have a very flexible schedule that I actually make my own schedule at work so I have a lot of time to make sure that if a family needs me for anything important like a walk or just a check in to make sure that the dogs have food and water I can do so. I have more than five years of experience of working with animals in their own homes in the clients homes, and I make sure that I follow every rule and every step that a client does leave for me because I want the dog to have the same routine as if their families have not left for a day or the week. If I do care for an animal at my own house, I do make sure that I still do follow the rules at the families give me and make sure that they feel loved even though they are in a new environment and it might be a little scary for them at first, but I always make sure to make them feel as comfortable as possible with that being taking them around the house, letting them smell around, making sure that they’re comfortable with my things that I have such as furniture if I’m making Food or if I’m cleaning and they don’t feel overwhelmed by noises so I always make sure that I’m watching their behavior and just following their steps.

“Alex was perfect with Jax! She responded quickly to request and setting up dates, handled his anxious pushback when she first came over extremely well and then he was very happy after she left him from both visits. I will absolutely be using her again for my boy!”
