“Katelyn does a wonderful job with my cat. On her recent visit we had an ant invasion by the pet bowls. Katelyn cleaned up, rearranged the area to deter the ants and kept me informed. I am very impressed with the extra efforts she made.”
“Clarissa was amazing! I needed a cat sitter last minute, and she was there for me right away. She was super responsive and even made time to meet with me the same day I booked. She was incredibly sweet with my cats and followed all of my instructions perfectly. I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands. I definitely know who I’ll be calling next time I need cat care!”

About: I have owned and cared for pet's since I was a little kid. I have trained all my dogs since they were puppies and love rewarding them when they've learned something new. Dogs and cats alike tend to love following me around. They seem to attach easily to me. Seeing them happy and truly smile is a deep joy of mine. My schedule is very flexible since I am home all day, every day of the week. My day's consist of kiddo drop-off's and pick ups. I have a fully fenced backyard, love taking walks around town, and have one extra large dog who absolutely loves when other dogs come to play.

About: I’m a dependable, attentive pet lover who treats every pet like they’re my own. As a military professional, I’m organized, responsible, and always on time. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of different ages and personalities, from energetic pets to those who need a little extra patience and attention. I know how important routines are, so I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of love, exercise, playtime, fresh water, meals, and updates while you’re away. My goal is for you to have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. As an active-duty military member, I’m currently available on weekends, which means your pet will have my full attention during their stay or visit. I believe every pet deserves personalized care, plenty of playtime, exercise, affection, and a consistent routine. I’ll also provide regular photo updates, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your furry family member is safe, happy, and well cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow your pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), and any special instructions.

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I always approach each animal with patience, respect, and a calm energy. Over the years, I’ve provided drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting for an array of pets. I’m comfortable administering medication and adjusting care based on each pet’s needs. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, I’ll provide dependable care and treat them like they’re my own. I’m currently on a break from school, so I have a very open and flexible schedule. I’m available on weekdays and weekends, both mornings and evenings, and I’m happy to work with whatever routine works best for you and your pet. I do ask that bookings be made 1 to 3 days in advance, depending on the service. Cancellations are always allowed, but to receive a full refund, they must be made at least 24 hours before the scheduled booking. My goal is to make pet care as smooth and stress-free as possible, for both you and your animal. I only provide care in the client’s home, and I treat that space with the same respect I give to the pets I’m caring for. I believe I’m a guest in the pet’s environment, so I take a gentle approach and let them guide the pace of our interaction. My focus is on understanding their needs and making them feel safe and secure on their terms. I’m comfortable following specific routines, including feeding schedules, medication, crate use, or outdoor time. My own pets have unique needs, such as frequent small meals and scheduled walks, so I understand how important it is to honor what works best for each animal. I’m especially patient with pets who need extra time, space, or care due to anxiety, age, or personality. When caring for pets in your home, I keep things clean, respectful, and focused entirely on your animal’s well-being. I will clean up any messes and make sure your home is left just as you entrusted it to me.
“Brieanna is an exceptional Pet Sitter and wonderful human! The kitties were well taken care of and she was able to give my older cat Boris medicine, which is not always easy. When we got home, the house was clean and smelled good and she had taken out the trash and recycle and cleaned up after herself. Most importantly, my two cats were happy and relaxed.”
“Adaline was such an amazing pet sitter! She was very communicative, always on time, reliable, sweet, professional, and sent tons of pictures of my fur babies. I felt very comfortable with her checking in on my pets and will definitely be hiring her again!!”

It’s that simple. You make their experience as comfortable as possible. Make them feel comfortable, let them get to know the area. If it’s their home you let them do their normal. You can’t change up their schedule, especially if it’s their home. You are in their space and you don’t take that away from them.

“I can't say enough about Samantha's great service to our 2 cats. I was leaving Moon for longest stretch ever and Samatha was so patient and understanding of my constant text messages both before and during the 4 days she cat-sat. Hedda is often shy and hides from cat sitters, but she was ready to greet Samantha each time she came. Samantha was so conscientious with our cats. She stayed much longer than expected to play with Moon, made good decisions when she couldn't reach me one time, and managed to keep him from getting outside (not easy!). I was impressed that she identified Moon's depression right away; and it helped me prepare for our homecoming. I look forward to using Samantha again.”

Jonah went above and beyond. I asked for minimal tasks and he simply went ahead and did things with no needed guidance. He has a caring heart for all of our cute animals. Please please pleaseee book this amazing person. YOU WILL NOT HAVE ANY WORRIES under this prestigious care.
My pets are very simple. Heathy cats and fish. But my little Izzie gets nervous if she feels abandoned, and then she eats too fast, and pukes...well. You get the idea. I have never, never seen her so happy after a long trip. Whatever James did was PURE MAGIC. He sent me pictures of my little girl curled up in his lap, or madly playing chase. Each time he sent a note about how he sensed she wanted something and then he gave it to her. He took the extra step to truly see my pet. I am so blessed to have found a sitter who really wants to learn how to care for those around him. I will definitely be using him again!
Mitchell was amazing! Very communicative and did everything we requested of him. Booked drop ins for two nights and two mornings. Our cat Miko loved the attention and received lovings when he allowed lol. Our two other cats were a lot more shy. Treven and I are very appreciative of Mitchell (and the kiddos 😉)!

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.
