“Alexis was amazing! She took care of our kitties and somehow even got those little scaredy-cats to play with her! Assuming she’ll keep us, she is now our go-to to take care of our anxious fat floofs.”


“Paige was an amazing pet sitter for my two kittens. When she met them for the first time they felt comfortable coming right up to her, which is saying a lot because they’re usually shy with new people! It was clear that Paige has a lot of experience with animals and that they were in responsible and caring hands. Paige sent me updates and photos that put my mind at ease while I was away, and when I returned my pets were happy and well taken care of. I’d recommend Paige for all of your pet care needs!”


“Jacky did an AMAZING job watching my three kitties! She always kept me up to date on how they were doing, and even sent photos and videos along the way to make us feel reassured as we were traveling. We have a senior cat, and Jacky took extra care with her. Thanks so much, Jacky! 😃”


“Always love having Mary come to take care of our babies. She is always transparent with time scheduling, attentive to our babies needs, and follows instructions very well! Highly recommend!”


“Erin did a great job dropping in to visit and feed our 2 cats while we were out of town. She had great communication and provided a thorough recap of her visits. I really appreciated that she also met with us prior to us leaving town so she could meet the cats and learn where everything was located in the house. Would definitely recommend!”


“Alexis took excellent care of my cat while I was away for a family wedding!!! I had just recently moved, and my cat is still traumatized by the move. Alexis ensured that he was eating and drinking. And she provided continuous updates, which helped my anxiety about leaving him. Thanks to Alexis I was able to enjoy the wedding!! I won’t hesitate to reach out to Alexis if I need a sitter again.”


“Audrey has been great! She has been very consistent and reliable and takes the best photos of our Indy girl during her drop-in visits. We would not hesitate to use her again!”

About: I have two years of experience working as a kennel tech where I was taught how to Give oral medication, and I have vet tech training assisting a vet in examination procedures, surgery prep, surgery recovery. In October of this year, I will have two years of dog grooming experience with a variety of small to large dog breeds including older, blind, and deaf dogs. I love being outside and I work out regularly so I can keep up with your fur babies. I am currently a dog groomer so my work days vary in time depending on how many dogs are scheduled that day so pet sitting is something I enjoy doing on the side during the evenings and weekends. In my home I have a feeding scheduled that I follow for my own pets. My senior cat gets a special cat food for his life stage. I have two boxes of toys for easy access, my vets number is on my fridge, and I have leash and harness trainined one of my cats for when they want to go outside to get some sunshine. In a clients home I follow there instructions for time outside, walks, and feeding. Otherwise I give there pets lots of love and make sure to clean up after them like I would my own. I love cuddles and playtime.

My work schedule is flexible and allows me to provide the best care!

About: Since I was raised on a farm, I’ve always been surrounded by numerous animals. I’ve loved every second of it. Animals are my everything. 🫶🏻 I’m doing online schooling currently so it fits in my schedule perfectly! 100% of my time can go to your dogs or cats instead. 😊 I live in an apartment so I will have to take them on walks around the neighborhood. I also have a dog of my own to accompany them and make them feel a little more comfortable with the new surroundings.

“Austin is great! Clearly super knowledgeable and familiar with pets! The cats took to him right away, which I always consider a good sign. Will definitely book again!”


“Britney took very good care of my kitty while I was gone. My cat is very skittish when it comes to new people, so she tends to hide. Britney went the extra mile to make sure she atleast heard her in the house. She also made sure she had food, water and cleaned her kitty box. I would highly recommend her to take care of your pets!”
