“Holly was great. I would definitely use her again. She followed all instructions to the tee. I was really worried about leaving my sick boy but she made everything smooth.”

“Kelly was absolutely amazing!!! Constant communication and lots of pictures. I would highly recommend her to anyone. Will definitely book with her again if needed.”

“Amy is fantastic with my kitties! She was promptly there to give 1 her insulin shots at her usual times; and even cleaned up when the other cat made a mess. Photos and detailed reports were helpful, letting me know everything was A-OK :)”

About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs for about 10 years now, through my friends, family, neighbors and my own 2 puppies! I’m a college athlete who’s very active, so I’m happy to run/play and keep energetic dogs exercised while also making sure they feel loved, safe, and cared for! Pet care has always been a part of my daily routine, caring for my own two dogs! However, I’m a college student now, who lives an hour away from home, but I’m back for weekends and have plenty of free time to care for pets! I provide a safe, fun environment for pets. I have a fenced yard for running around outside, and two friendly dogs who would love to make friends! I closely supervise pets and will follow all instructions/special requests strictly from owners!
“Faith has watched our Shiba Inus multiple times now, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she provides. She’s reliable, responsive, and truly great with our dogs—even administering medication to our elderly Shiba with no issues. Most recently, she helped us out while we were in the hospital for the birth of our son. We weren’t sure how many drop-ins we’d need or how long we’d be gone, but she was incredibly flexible and quick to respond. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pups were in good hands. Highly recommend!”

About: With years of experience caring for dogs, I stand out as a pet sitter due to my ability to also look after my clients’ plants/garden from time-to-time. My lifelong passion for animals includes providing special care for young and senior dogs, ensuring their health and happiness. My current schedule varies, but I typically work 7-hour shifts on Sundays and Mondays. On the these dates, I can manage pet care for all dogs that have a wait period to be let out 4-8 hrs. If necessary, I have the flexibility to call off work to ensure your pets are well taken care of. From Tuesday to Saturday, I have open availability, allowing me to dedicate ample time to pet care activities, such as walks, feeding, and playtime. This arrangement helps me balance work commitments while ensuring your pets receiving the attention and care they need. In caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment. I ensure to follow detailed instructions provided by the client to meet the specific needs of their dog. For instance, if a dog is anxious during thunderstorms, I am proactive in reaching out via call or text to discuss calming strategies. Additionally, I always clarify any boundaries regarding what I can handle or access in the home and to build a stronger rapport, I will arrange pre-sitting meetings with clients to better understand their preferences and to bond with their dog(s).
“Danielle was amazing! She was always on time, showed up for every check-in as scheduled, and was very reliable from start to finish. She left thoughtful updates with great notes and pictures, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. I would highly recommend Danielle to anyone looking for a dependable and caring sitter. We’ll definitely be booking her again!”


“Kristi is amazing! Our Maggie really seemed to have gotten lots of loving and play time for our drop in visit. We got lots of videos and photos and reassurance that Maggie was in good hands. We are so happy and excited to book Kristi again!”

“This was our 2nd experience with Kristy, and we couldn't be happier. Kristy's communication is the best, and we appreciate every photo she sends. It's wonderful to know that the kitties are so well taken care of while we're away!”

About: I have six years experience caring for my former pet beagle. I don’t have any dogs in my home but I do have two children. I love animals and I look forward to meeting you and yours! I love dog walking and being outdoors. Although I’m available for part time work I currently have limited availability based on the specific days. Please contact me and I would love to discuss the details. I look forward to hearing from you! I have a large yard and live in a neighborhood with plenty of areas for walking. If you chose to have your pet stay in my home we have an open concept home so they will checked on regularly.
“Lisa did a great job with our new puppy. She was prompt and was able to stay a bit longer than we originally planned. She sent photos and got the puppy out for several walks (with no accidents in the house!). I definitely recommend Lisa.”

About: I have been taking care of the pets of family friends and people who they recommended me to them. I’ve taken care of cats, dogs, turtles, and one very friendly cockatiel. I work part-time at the moment, but I am available most weekdays during the day & evening, and during the earlier morning & during the afternoon on weekends. This is of course subject to change in unforeseen schedule changes, but is a fair baseline. I currently have two cats and soon a dog at my own Home, so currently I’m not able to provide boarding. However, I’m able and happy to drive to check in on and take care of your four legged friends, and will make sure to spend as much time with them as you’d like. I will clean up any mess your pet has made or take them out to use the bathroom(in the case of dogs), feed them, & of course make sure they get a proper level of attention. I also do mail collection if you’re going to be away a while.
“Stephanie was fantastic this past week, doing drop-in visits with my usually shy dog. She was incredibly patient and gentle, making my dog feel comfortable, and my pup warmed up to her quickly. Stephanie is very responsive on the app and always sends detailed updates with photos after each visit. I’ll definitely ask her to look after my dog again. Highly recommend!”

Holly has been a life saver. We got our pup Zelda in summer of 2025 and needed someone during the fall and winter months to help with letting her out. I love coming home to all the doggie toys pick up and blankest folded (doggies are messy). Holly is very responsive, dependable and really cares for our pets. Would recommend Holly to anyone!!!

Amy was awesome!!! I have a senior cat that is very sick and I felt very bad for leaving her but Amy took great care of her. She was very sympathetic to her condition and I feel she went above and beyond. She sent daily updates and photographs. I highly recommend her.
