“Miranda was very communicative while taking care of my cats and she was very attentive to their needs. She did a great job and I would definitely recommend her!”
“Lauren took excellent care of my babies. She even was able to pill my difficult and stubborn girl while I was gone (no other sitter has been able to do this). My male cat loved the extra playtime and attention she gave him. I also appreciate that she went the extra mile and brought in my mail.”
“Amy was purrfect. Olive and Winston warmed up to her instantly. She very communctive with how my cats were doing and followed instructions. I loved the photos and notes she took. Plus she left my place as clean as she left it.”
“Kali has been an absolute dream of a pet sitter! Her care for our two cats, Allen and Simon, has been nothing short of amazing. She goes above and beyond to ensure they are happy, comfortable, and well cared for. What truly sets Kali apart is her superior communication—she keeps us updated with detailed messages, photos, and videos, giving us complete peace of mind while we’re away. We cannot wait to have Kali back to care for our boys again! If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like her own, we highly recommend her. She’s simply the best!”
About: I have had pets my entire life. At this time, I am petless, so I would love to love on your pets. Family and friends have relied on me to watch, walk, and play with their furry friends. I have several references I work full time, but I have a very flexible schedule that sometimes allows me to work from home. Your dog, however, will never be alone because my husband is home during the day. I take your dog for a morning and night walk and on weekends three short walks. I also play with them. They can sleep on the bed and furniture
“Allison did another wonderful job with our 15 year old cat! She was able to feed and medicate her and give her lots of love while we were on vacation! We'll definitively use Allison again!”
“Kimmi was the best sitter for my 2 kitties. I had no worries while I was gone for a week. She is very compassionate. I will definitely have her take care of my fur babies again!”
“Megan was amazing with my cat, Suge. She gave him fresh food & water, was kind enough to empty his litter box on each of her visits and spent some quality time with Suge making sure he knew he was loved. If I leave for another vacation and need someone to check in on Suge…she will be my first call.”
“Thank you again Joey for coming to look in on Sophie. If she could talk I know she would tell us how happy she was to see you on Thursday and Friday. She is our little fur baby and it is a relief to know you will look in on her and tend to her needs. Thank you again for texting me about the feeder. That is a big worry for us. She was so happy to see us again when we got home today. Than you again.”
About: Animals have always been a part of my life. I’ve cared for cats since childhood, regularly looked after a spirited but lovable German Shepherd, and spent time around various animals including livestock. Currently, I work at a premium dog kennel and daycare, where I’ve gained valuable experience managing dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities. What truly sets me apart is my deep rooted love and comfort around animals. I connect with them easily and genuinely enjoy their company more than anything else. Their well-being is always my first priority. My work schedule can vary between 6 a.m. and 7:30 p.m., but pet care still fits naturally into my routine. I work at a dog kennel/daycare, which gives me the unique ability to bring dogs with me if I have a long shift or if they need all-day supervision. Dogs are evaluated for daycare, and if they’re not comfortable around others, they’ll go into private play—where they get one-on-one outdoor time every few hours. The accommodations include beds, water bowls, and even free dog food if needed. I cover the cost myself, so your pet’s comfort and care are always a priority. We also offer baths at my work, which could come in handy for some dog owners. Since I’m unable to bring pets into my home, I offer in-home sitting and care. I believe the best care comes from following the pet owner’s instructions closely—no one knows their pet better than they do. I’m here to provide exactly what they feel is best for their pet’s comfort and routine. Through my work at a professional dog kennel, I’ve gained valuable experience recognizing signs of stress or discomfort in animals. If a pet seems uneasy with me or their environment, I adjust immediately to ensure they feel safe and secure. Additionally, if you're a beginner pet parent with any questions or concerns about caring for your pet, I’m happy to offer guidance and advice to help you feel confident in your role as a pet owner.
About: We lost our sweet Blue (11 year old labradoodle) 3 years ago of bone cancer, and have recently become empty nesters. We LOVE dogs, and our cat has missed his canine companion. Our yard is over an acre, and includes a wooded area. We are also located near beautiful trails that we can walk to. Both of us work from home the majority of the time, and we will only open our home up to furry house guests if we are sure that at least one of us is available to be home the majority of the day. Your dog will love the extra love and attention that they will receive, and we tend to be a bit lenient with letting dogs on furniture/beds. Most of our neighbors own dogs, and there are young children next door. That being said, a dog that is friendly with other dogs and not wary of children would LOVE a vacation with us. I am working part time, and my husband works at least 1/2 of the time from home. We are flexible with dog schedules, and have experience with "elderly" dogs with special needs. We have a large yard (over an acre), which is not fenced in. Our neighborhood connects to walking trails and parks, so your dog will have ample exercise opportunities. We are extremely flexible with our schedules, and can adapt to meet your dog's current routines.
About: I have experience with dogs and cats my whole life. I have always been an animal lover! I currently have one 3 year old Golden Retriever who I love and adore. Having to leave my own dog to go on vacation or needing someone to drop-in or bring him for a walk can be stressful. My dog is my family and I want to know he is in good hands while I’m away. I will take care of your pets like they are my own! Every dog is different and needs different care and I will be there to give your dog their essential needs, exercise, belly rubs and love while you’re away! Any questions or concerns please feel free to reach out to me. I work part-time so I am very flexible for your pets needs and this gives me a lot more time to spend with them as well. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I am good with putting on harnesses and maintaining control while your dog walks on a leash.
“Natalie did a great job caring for our cat while we were away. She came on time each day, and spent time with Abby as well. Overall great job. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a qualified, reliable animal caretaker.”
About: I’ve lived with 3 dogs and I’ve been responsible for one since I was 8. I also worked as a kennel assistant and currently work in a doggy daycare. I have experience with boarding cats and dogs as a kennel assistant I’m available for dog walking and drop in visits on the weekends. During the week we can discuss what times you’re looking for and perhaps we can work something out. I will happily drop in and feed your animals and play with them if you would like. just let me know what you want from your drop in visit.

Wendy W.
“I would highly recommend Wendy as a dog sitter. She has been a good friend of mine for years and loves dogs and all animals very much. At one point, she took my dog into her home for a weekend. Another time, she stayed at my house for a week and took excellent care of both my dog, who is a rather rambunctious and high energy lab, and also my cat. She would play with the dog outside throwing balls and run him every day. My dog just loves her and his tail is wagging in all directions when he sees her coming to the door. She is excellent with all animals and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone. She is very trustworthy and I had no second thoughts about her staying in my home.”
