“Jessica was fabulous and went above and beyond. I was really in a bind because I had booked a pet sitter for the wrong dates! I did not realize I had done it until I left out of town. I had never met Jessica before, but she dropped everything and came right over to our house within a half an hour of me asking her availability. She was so responsive and took great care of our dog Winston with pictures and updates at each visit. Thank you, Jessica!”



“Lisa was absolutely amazing with our dogs! She gave them lots of love and attention while taking good care of them. She even came by for an extra visit when we got stuck on travel. Cant recommend Lisa enough!!!”


“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.”


“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.”


“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 ☺️”


About: My affinity for dogs runs deep, rooted in a lifetime of experiences that began in foster care and blossomed when I was adopted into a loving family with two precious furry friends, Molly and Tyler. I cherished every moment spent with them – from watering and feeding to playful escapades in the great outdoors. As I navigated various social settings, whether at friends' homes or on the job, dogs would inevitably gravitate toward me, and I'd toward them. It was as if we shared a special connection, one that transcended words and spoke directly to the heart. Today, I live with two stunning Blue Heelers, Honey Sage and Smokey. These canine companions bring boundless joy to my world, and I'm constantly amazed by their ability to communicate with their hearts. As an empath, I find it especially rewarding to work with animals, tapping into their emotional landscapes and forging deep, meaningful bonds. I'm available to provide pet care services every day of the week, including boarding and daycare. I also offer pick-up and drop-off services and am happy to drive to accommodate your needs. Let me know if you're interested in learning more about my services. My Fenced-in backyard is a great space for dogs to play. I offer kennels/crates for dogs as needed, to ensure their comfort and separation when necessary. My two friendly Blue Heelers enjoy socializing with other dogs. I'll provide regular breaks every two hours and monitor behavior to keep everyone safe and happy.

“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.”


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 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.”



About: I’ve spent much of my life surrounded by dogs, cats, and horses. I have significant experience with special needs and senior dogs—providing the extra care, love, and dignity they deserve. I care for your pup as if s/he’s my own! I care for your house as if it’s my own! I’m extremely responsible, timely, gentle, patient, and clean. I’m active and love daily walks with your canine. Whether it’s special instructions for feeding, meds, walks, or bedtime, I’m ready to follow your (and your dog’s) precise needs. I’ve been petsitting (dogs and cats) for the past 25 years and my clients regularly refer me to their friends. Your fur babies are in trusted hands when they are with me. I look forward to getting to know your little (or not so little) one. I am able to spend evenings and nights with your fur babies. I currently an able to stop-in during the day as well. My own pets require me to stop in with them at least twice a day. I make sure all gates to back yard are securely closed, I am good at getting into the house without letting your dog escape. I take special care to make sure you pet is secure.

“Antonina was great! She watched my cat for 2 weeks while I was on vacation and was able to make friends with my super shy cat. Took care of everything and took lots of pictures. It made me feel at ease knowing my cat was in good hands. I would highly recommend.”


“Jamie was a dream for my dog and cat while we were away. Lots of comments, photos and thorough pet updates. I never worried about them and could relax on my vacation. I definitely recommend Jaime.”


About: Experienced animal care professional with a lifelong passion for pets. Providing personalized, in-home care for a variety of animals. Previously served for 3 years as the manager and lead caregiver in the boarding wing of a veterinary clinic, overseeing day to day operations, administering medications, and ensuring the health and comfort of all boarded animals. Quality care for pets of many sizes and temperaments. I work from home, so I am nearly always home during the week. I only step out to run errands or offer drop ins for clients. I have a fully fenced yard and a small little 15lb chihuahua mix that is super socialized with all dogs. He is a few years old and is a great playmate! I do own a cat, but she has her own reserved room in the home, she is older and takes blood pressure medications. She is not in the area where dogs are kept. Drop ins I offer the most safe and comfortable stays in the comfort of the pet's home, and I am sure to spend time with pets as requested!

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. Starting in September, I will be available to pet sit/dog walk seven days a week. I can do a drop in visit and check on your pet/house or take your dog for a walk. 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.

“Karolina has been a lifesaver for us this summer. She is very responsive, always sends photos, and is willing to go the distance (figurative and literally—we live pretty far off the beaten path). She took the time to get to know our kitty. I was surprised when Klaire, who is shy, was on Karolina’s lap by the third visit. Thank you, Karolina!”


About: I’ve house/dog sat for friends for years! I will treat them like you do. We can discuss details. Happy to love on them like they are mine I work M-F 8-5 but I can make arrangements if they need me during my work day. The weekends I am completely free. I can play with your dogs or if it is ok take them on walks I have a cat in my home. He only goes out with a leash (he’s not a fan). I will make sure your animals receive the same care.

Jennifer S.Star Sitter

“Jennifer is incredibly reliable! On very short notice she consistently is willing to stop in and help out! She also sends us lots of pictures of her visits:)”


Karlee R.

“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.”


Kelli B.
“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.”

Roxanne R.
“It's never easy to leave my 15-year-old chihuahua, Gordon. He's blind, a little deaf and showing signs of dementia, which always makes me nervous entrusting him to other people's care. Senior dogs are no joke. Gordon's body changes by the day and anxiety can often overtake him, resulting in wake-up calls at 3 am. But thankfully, there's Roxanne. She is a lifesaver. She's so gentle, patient and sensitive. She stays at my home, so Gordon doesn't have to stress about being in a strange place, and she treats him with kindness and understanding. Roxanne's updates me via text on how he's doing, but the real sign that it all went well is how peaceful Gordon is when I return.”

Star Sitter


“Avery always does such an amazing job and our cats love her. She is so thoughtful and fun and always sends pics of my fur babies while I’m away!”


Kara R.
“I've known Kara for 2 years and she has taken excellent care of my Ginger, a 2-year-old Jack Russell. Ginger absolutely adores Kara and is so excited when she gets to stay with Kara. Kara is a huge animal lover like myself and I know Ginger is very happy and well-cared for when she stays with Kara. The last time I boarded Ginger with Kara, Ginger actually squealed with delight when she saw Kara open the door and Ginger went running to her. Seeing your fur baby get so excited and squealing with delight when you drop her off is so satisfying knowing you are leaving her with someone who loves her as a second "mom". I will not leave Ginger with anyone else now that I have found Kara! I highly, highly recommend Kara to take care of your pet. I cannot say enough how awesome Kara is!”


Maria B.
“We have a bit of a high strung but sweet dog and leaving her in Maria’s care is a huge blessing. She truly treats my gal as if she were her own and Lila absolutely adores her! It is such a relief knowing that Lila won’t just receive basic care but all of the affection and love she would normally get. Maria is reliable, kind, experienced, and a true animal lover, and we are so grateful we found her!”
