“It was really lovely to go on vacation and not worry about the care that our animals were receiving. Neil was prompt, sent pictures daily and when we got back our animals were calm and we could tell, well cared for. Thanks Neil!”
“Pamela is great! She is punctual and our kitty loves her! She communicates regularly. She even went the extra mile and replaced the batteries in our touch-activated faucet. Thanks Pamela!”
“Stacey did a great job taking care of my golden retriever and mini Australian shepherd! We did a little meet and greet before the first drop in visit because my mini Aussie is Very skeptical of new people, can be barky/nippy at times, and Stacey was patient and un-phased by her. My golden loved her, and she followed my instructions and the dogs responded well to her. I will definitely use her again!”
“I am so happy we booked with Sarah! Not only was she timely and responsible, but she was a great fit for Piper! She sent several pictures during each visit and gave a thorough update every time. It was clear she spent lots of time time playing with Piper - she didn’t just feed her and leave. She also watered some of our plants. We are so thankful for Sarah and plan to book with her again!”
“Thomas took great care of my pups this weekend! He is very professional and I felt completely safe leaving my pups in his care. He was on time with his scheduled visits and sent reports immediately after taking care of my crew. I will use him for all our pet care going forward, I highly recommend him.”
“Marissa did a great job. She persevered when my big dog wasn’t sure about letting her in and then quickly gained his confidence. Got lots of photos and animals looked well fed and happy. All instructions followed. 10/10”
“Lilac has really taken the time to bond with our pets. Always goes above and beyond to make sure they're comfortable and keeps us completely informed. She also sends the cutest pics of our babies from every visit!”
“Ms. Medea provided an excellent service for my dogs. They thoroughly enjoyed their time with her during their visit and walk. I felt at ease knowing that Ms. Medea has experience with active dogs, which was a significant factor in my decision to choose her services.”
“Katie was the perfect choice for checking in on our 5 month old pup! She was attentive and intentional to maintain our training requests when feeding and walking him. She also stayed the full hour as requested to feed and play with Benji. We will definitely book again as needed!”
About: I love keeping dogs and cats happy, safe, secure and calm. Reading body language and filling needs in a timely detailed manner is what I do. I am very reliable and will extend care if your return plans are delayed. I never let a pet go untended! Have cared for several rescue dogs, dogs of all ages, multiple dogs and cats for many years in addition to my own pets. Also have experience with some farm animals and exotics! I'd love for your pets to be happy to see me because they'll have a great time when we are together! Currently I have a very part time job leaving plenty of time for multiple walks, or care in your home for all of your pets. Pets staying in your home will always have clean fresh water, meals on time, playtime, walks and rest when they need it and occasional treats!
“This was the third time we hired Caitlin to come take care of our pup while we were away. It was also our longest trip yet as we were away from home for over a week. I never feel like I can fully express how amazing Caitlin is and how grateful we are to have found her. We really hate leaving our dog and before finding Caitlin, we never had before. Finding someone you can truly trust is so important and Caitlin is that person! She goes above and beyond in every aspect of her job. Each time we work with her, we are left more impressed than the time before. And I don’t even know how that is possible because I was about as impressed as I could be the first time we worked with her. She is an excellent communicator which is such a blessing when you’re away. She writes in extraordinary detail about every aspect of her visits and also includes an abundance of photos so you feel like you are there. Seeing my pup so happy while we were away gave me such peace of mind. She’s not afraid to reach out with questions if something comes up. This time in particular, our area had snow and crazy weather and Caitlin went so above and beyond to communicate to us what was happening and then made a game plan to physically get to our pup when it looked like driving conditions could be unsafe. Her love of animals is so evident and yet she’s a people person too! She is really one of a kind. Thank you, Caitlin, for taking care of Echo and making traveling so easy for us!”
About: I used to pet sit often, however, since getting my own dog I have scaled back. My friends tell me I treat their pets like my own which I watch them and they love that I pay attention to detail and send updates. I have an elderly dog who is dog reactive, so I have taking dog training classes and learned a lot about how to meet her needs! Excited to learn about what care your dog needs and help them feel safe and cared for! I work remotely, so I’d like to make myself available to help you out during the day with quick drop ins, short walks and potty breaks! My dog is trained with positive reinforcement based methods. She is an older dog with medication requirements and I understand the extra care and play restrictions they can have! Whether it’s creating a quick interactive puzzle game or playing gently in the backyard, happy to help your dog get some attention during the day!
About: Every day is a day full of fur in my world. My pets, and the pets I care for as an experienced veterinary technician. I love every animal like they are my own and always go the extra mile for their happiness. I am honored to be entrusted with their care if you will have me. I am currently taking a break from my career as a veterinary technician to pursue a master's degree. I am very flexible for this reason. As an experienced pet owner and veterinary technician I can medicate, give injections, crate, soothe, feed and play with your pets with ease and confidence. I have worked with scared rescues who no one else would sit for. I am good with animals from all backgrounds and situations. You tell me what your usual routine and preferences are and I will make sure it happens.

“I trust Savannah completely. She has come through for me time and again with Obi's care, which is becoming more complicated as he ages. I couldn't be more grateful!”
Emily T.
“Emily is one of the most gentle and patient caregivers for pets that I have ever met. She works hard to understand the unique personalities, behaviors, and needs of pets in her care and adjusts her approach accordingly. I have seen Emily interact with numerous dogs and there hasn’t been one that didn’t loved her. She has extensive experience working with highly reactive pets, application/administration of prescribed medicines, managing specific dietary needs, and maintaining consistent training goals. I would trust her to care for my pet, or the pets of any of my close friends and family, just as I would.”
Joanne A.
“Joanne is the most compassionate care taker I have ever come across. I’ve worked with her for over 2 years as a vet tech and consider them an amazing person, friend, and vet tech. If you’re looking for someone to go above and beyond for your pets and someone who truly, truly loves and cares about animals, Joanne is surely your gal!”

Kara was wonderful with my dog, Koa. She didn’t just stop by to let Koa out and feed her...she took extra time to give Koa a nice long walk and really paid attention to her unique personality. Kara clearly respected my dog's needs, making sure she was comfortable and cared for before leaving. She was also easy to communicate with, and it’s obvious she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after.
