Mike was kind, communicative, and enthusiastic about taking care of our cat. He went above and beyond watching him during the Christmas holiday! Would hire again and highly recommend.

About: I grew up taking care of my cats and dogs. Since becoming a student, I have house sat, fed and gave medications to both cats and dogs, and completed walks for neighbors, friends, and family whenever I was needed. I’m currently a full-time student but will have time daily to help take care of your pets when you are unable to. During the week I am available for a few hours but am more accessible on weekends and most evenings. I have a fenced yard to keep your fur baby company. There are no other pets in the home, so you will not have to worry about this.

About: I’ve taken care of a wide range of dogs of all sizes and ages. Most of my experience includes walking, feeding, and overnight stays with dogs. I’m a medical assistant that works during the week, so my weekends are wide open for pet sitting and overnight stays. I can also fit in weekday evening dog walks or overnight stays. I currently rent and am unfortunately not able to have animals in my home. I am happy to stop by your home and play with or walk your dogs. I am also happy to do overnight stays as needed.

Courtney is the BEST! She is communicative, kind and showed so much care and love to my cat Sir T. She asked questions I hadn’t even thought of because she wanted to make sure she was providing thorough care. Thanks so much Courtney!

Kathleen is an excellent pet sitter! She went above and beyond for us. We have a reactive dog and Kathleen was able to gain his trust and work with him. Additionally, our other dog broke out of her crate and Kathleen handled the (messy) situation expertly. All in all, Kathleen is incredibly accommodating, highly experienced, and down-right superb. We rate her a solid 10/10 and HIGHLY recommend her!

Anna helped us out at the last minute and we couldn’t have been happier! She took such great care of Paris, kept us updated, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Paris was happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for. We would absolutely book with them again!

About: Absolutely love dog sitting all kinds of breeds, any pet is a valuable addition to the family. I have grown up with different dog breeds and have experience dog sitting over night. Pittbulls are personally my favorite dog breed. I’m currently working part time and just wanting to provide a helping hand in anyway I can. I’m available all week long my schedule is very flexible. I live in a gated community and I have a fenced in yard with grass and dirt. I also have a five year old pet friendly husky named Rosy, and two cats named Artemis and Iris. If needed I can have separated since my yard splits into two with a gate.

About: I have been around and taken care of pets my whole life. I currently live in a house with four cats and frequently assist with pet care, including tasks such as feeding, grooming, cleaning litter, and playing with them. I also have recent experience with dog sitting, which included tasks such as feeding, playing, and taking them on walks. I also have experience volunteering in shelters and taking the dogs out for walks. I have experience caring for dogs of all background, including dogs with behavioral issues. I currently work full time Monday-Thursday and half days on Fridays, but I have an hour lunch that will allow me to check in on the pets. I am free any time after 4-5 pm Monday-Thursdays, after 12 pm on Fridays, and any time on weekends. I work in healthcare, so I am capable of being a responsible and compassionate caregiver. I will diligently follow instructions and ensure safety of the house. I have also worked with pets of different temperaments and behaviors, so I can care for pets of different backgrounds.

She is an excellent sitter for our two cats. This was our second time and we will happily hire her again in future. She goes above and beyond; in the warm weather she visited an additional time just to make sure our cats weren’t too hot. We are comfortable traveling with the knowledge that our kitties are in good hands.

Caroline was great with Pepe, who isn’t used to being left home alone very often. He is a sensitive, shy, and stubborn older gentleman, but Caroline went above & beyond catering to his needs, working with us to address any concerns in real time as they arose. Communication was excellent, care and concern for both our home and pet was superb, updates were regular & consistent. We are so grateful to her and would highly recommend Caroline without hesitation.
