“Lyndsay took wonderful care of our little man! Merlin took to her immediately and seemed to love his time with her. We would absolutely hire her any time to take care of our cat, and would recommend her highly to care for any animal.”
“Morgan did an excellent job. I'm always hesitant to leave my cats for any length of time but Morgan was so sweet and accommodating. She took great care of our home and our pets. We will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Karlee has checked in on my cat a couple times now. She has excellent communication and follows instructions. I know my little furball is in great hands with her!! Highly recommended.”
“Jeanette took great care of our puppy, who needed a little extra care post-spay. She was careful to follow our instructions and we’re so glad to find a qualified and trustworthy pet sitter ☺️”
“We had never hired a pet-sitter before, and we were nervous about leaving our cats home while I had to take a 3-day business trip. One of our cats is shy around other people and has weird eating habits. Zane set our minds at ease. She visited with us first and got to know the cats, then she gave us update photos/videos and comments with every visit. She was patient and kind and really took the time to earn our shy cat's trust. We would absolutely hire her again in the future.”
“Could not be happier with the services provided by Jennifer. She gave us daily updates with photos of our kitties. Very responsive to our texts and questions. She even swept and vacuumed our apartment before we got back! Look forward to hiring Jennifer again in the future.”
“Jaime is very sweet and kind. She was hired to take care of my cats but when my dog didn’t do well at the doggie boarding and had to come home early, she gave her lots of love and offered to pitch in to help. We are so grateful for her help!”
“Roxanne was great with our senior cat! We came home to a happy guy, and the house just as we left it. We are thankful for her attention to all of his needs, including administration of a transdermal medicine, daily brushing, portioning out his food to avoid binge eating and spending time with him.”
“If I could give Karolina 10 Stars, I would. She took wonderful care of our attention-craving kitty Jimmy, sent us fantastic daily updates with pictures, took great care of our plants, and left the house cleaner than she found it.”
About: I'm a devoted Dog Auntie to a spirited Mini-Aussie, two lovable Labs, and even four horses! My heart still holds a special place for my Puggle rescue, Henry, who was my adventure buddy across three states and a cherished therapy dog for seniors until his passing in 2021. With over 25 years of experience, I connect instantly with dogs of all ages and personalities. From training playful puppies to providing compassionate care for senior dogs, I’ve done it all—including guiding my Puggle Henry in his professional training. Your furry friend will be treated like family in my care, with plenty of love, fun, and attention. Expect fetch sessions, refreshing walks, and cozy snuggles! Book with me for peace of mind knowing your pup is in experienced, caring hands. I'm currently a freelance writer who works from anywhere: cafes, coffee shops and even your couch. This enables me to pop in for a walk during the day or spend the weekend (or longer) with your dog while you're away. I live in a tiny home with very little space, so while I will consider watching your fur baby in my home, I believe they would be more comfortable in their environment. I have been pet sitting in the valley for several months now, and have excellent references.
“We were so lucky to find Avery! She dropped in on our little orange Fireball while we were gone and mostly out of service for about 8 days and we came home to a very happy, healthy kitty.”
About: I've grown up with cats my whole life. I currently have a 13 year old tabby named Charlie. I have watched several cats, dogs, and even chicken over the last two decades. I am very passionate about animal advocacy. I previously worked at NOAH Animal Shelter and Brigadoon Service Dogs. I miss working with animals every day. I currently work full time but will be cutting back my day job hours starting mid September. This will allow me to be more available for my pet clients. My husband and I are renting so unfortunately we can't host pets at our home. I'm more than happy to check in on your animals and/or house sit at your residence.
“Katya did a wonderful job taking care of our kitty for 9 days, letting us know when she stopped by every evening, made sure we were on schedule to arrive home when planned, and offered to help with things like putting our recycling out. Most importantly, we came home to a healthy and happy kitty who had obviously gotten some love and attention when we were gone. Thank you Katya!”
“Amber came by to take care of my two kitties and houseplants. She did an excellent job with both. The cats had a new brand of wet cat food in the selection, she noticed that they like the new kind better. I highly recommend Amber for pet sitting, and as a bonus she is great with house plants too.”
“Patient and fun family, was available with a few days notice. Piper loved her tennis ball y’all brought. I can tell it’s her current favorite as it’s completely falling apart now.”

“Kelli is one of the most trustworthy people I know, and very dependable and reliable! I work opposite schedules as my partner and she happily fills in to watch over my pup any time I need her, there is another dog on the property that isn’t kind to my dog in the slightest and Kelli always makes sure my dog is kept safe and the other dog kept away. She watches over my parents dogs nearly everyday aswell and she makes sure they get their walks and play times and LOTS of love. She would be my first choice over and over again.”

Maria B.
“I will give you many reasons why you should consider Maria for you and your pet’s needs. And I know I won’t be able to cover everything as she is an amazing young woman full of compassion and love for people, nature, and especially our four legged-friends. As a committed volunteer to rescue for the past 13 years, I appreciate and respect others’ desire to help take care of our precious innocence wrapped up in these bundles of unconditional love. But, to know that when we are unable to care for them that we can put our trust into someone that will watch over them, is so important. Which leads me to why Maria is a top-notch candidate for you. Her kindness is endless. Her desire to learn is focused and she is interested in knowing more so she can provide better care. She has been to one of the rescues I volunteered at and followed protocol of washing hands, being careful when handling from one animal to another. She spent time with me taking care of an outdoor colony of TNR’d cats and enjoyed every moment trapsing through the snow to go shovel them out, feed them, and learn what needs to be done. With my own pets, she gave nothing but love. Was not afraid to jump right in and be part of the family. She loved being around all the dogs I had, which at one point, I had two beagles and two labs. And she dove right in with them as if she were part of the pack. Sat in a kayak with them, took them for walks, the more wet dog kisses, the better! With my cats, she was the same way, down eye to eye with them and enjoying the love that they were willing to give. Her dedication and loyalty to friendship and family is stellar. Her positive attitude is endless. To help others with their pets would be a win-win. The family would be relieved knowing their pet is in good hands and Maria would love the opportunity to put others at ease knowing their fur member is being well taken care of. I cannot say enough about what an amazing person, Maria is. If you want someone you can trust with your pet, Maria is the one. You will find she will become part of the family.”
