“Paige took great care of our little cat! She sent us daily updates and pictures. She even left us a sweet drawing of him! Our house was also well taken care of and our Christmas tree watered. We would definitely book with her again!”

“Jessica was amazing! She came early when we had an emergency and took such great care of our animals. She communicated well with us and even handled one of our dogs being sick. Couldn’t recommend her more! We will absolutely use her again and again.”


About: I’ve taken care of various breeds of dogs for the past five years. Willing to watch multiple dogs and able to provide walking services. I’m a physical education teacher. Looking to provide pet care services in the summer and on the weekends. As well as after work if needed. I am always attentive to the needs of all pets and willing to learn about what works for my clients. Pet safety is my first priority
“I am so grateful for the care provided for our cats! It felt clear that she understood how to meet and make each cat comfortable! I believe our cats felt supported and safe because August did everything to keep the cats routines. We feel so grateful and will book again!”

“DEFINITELY A STAR SITTER!!! Kasandra was phenomenal! She came to my home and sat for my dog--and agreed to take on a friend's dog, in a late edition, after she had already agreed to sit for my dog. The dogs were well taken care of, walked, given lots of attention. By all indications (daily updates and photos), they both really enjoyed her. I will absolutely request Kasandra again! I just hope she's not so busy that she's booked.😁”

“Molly was awesome with our dog Winston. She took really good care of him while we were gone for a week. Winston loved the long walks that Molly provided for him on a daily basis. You could tell that she really is an animal lover. I would 100% recommend her to everyone.”

“Chelsea watch our dog Lucy while we were out of town for a wedding. We are so happy with the care and love she provided to her. She sent photos and updates and treated her with such kindness and love. Lucy isn’t always comfortable with strangers, but she fell in love with Chelsea immediately, and so did we. She followed all the directions and care instructions. I won’t hesitate for a minute to have her come again.”

“Vi was wonderful to accommodate our last minute booking request. They came on time and were thoughtful and accommodating to our pets idiosyncrasies and needs. They were appropriately communicative. I would definitely book with Vi again.”

“Hayley is an absolute rockstar. We needed last minute pet sitting for our wedding and Hayley saved the day! Hayley is extremely courteous and thoughtful with the needs of our pets and our home. We enjoyed her consistent and reliable communication and cute cat and puppy pics throughout her stay. They made us feel at ease and helped us focus on our big day! 10/10 will be booking Hayley again in the future.”


About: I’ve been caring for dogs for several years. I’ve grown up with dogs, working with them and training them. I’ve been dog sitting for many years and for multiple families, with different breeds, both large and small. I have cared for up to five dogs at once for one family. I have a lot of experience with high energy dogs, such as Australian Shepherds and German Shorthaired Pointers. I enjoy being outside and use this enjoyment to keep dogs active and happy. I go above and beyond when caring for not only my own animals but those of others. I view pets as family and treat them with the upmost care. I am a freelance writer, and have a flexible work schedule. Due to the nature of my work I am able to work from anywhere, provided there is access to wi-fi. As I am able to create my own schedule and bring my work with me, I am able to actively adapt to a pet's needs. I am able to take breaks for play and time outdoors as needed/necessary. I have a calm and loving demeanor. I am very diligent when trying to encourage animals to be comfortable with me and enjoy their time with me. I ensure they get plenty of attention, play time and are able to adhere to their typical routine to avoid any undue stress.
About: I have been working with animals for the last ten years. Started working in dog daycares and moved my way up to vet medicine where i now am a vet technician. I am patient and understanding to all pets personalities and ages. I am currently working 3 days a week on a specialty service at a veterinary hospital. My weekends are typically free and I would love to fill the time with your furry loved ones. Will be very respectful of your home and make giving your sweet boy or girl my devoted attention. Back yard fence in play is great but leash walks are also great!

“Jaime was so great at communicating while we were away for the weekend. She was very thorough in asking about our pets’ routine and care schedule. We came home to a very happy dog and she seemed to love spending time with Jaime!”
“My babies are everything to me. We hardly travel without them because we haven’t found anyone yet who can or is willing to care for them in a way that I’m content with. Enter Laura. Laura proves her trustworthiness by her excellent care and communication before booking. She is very competent regarding what I feel to be more complex pup situations. Added bonus, she is active and is able to give my high energy pups a good amount of exercise. My partner and I were able to have a fantastic time away without any worries. I am thrilled with Laura, and hope she is interested in working with us again!”

“Jess watched our dog and cat for the first time over the weekend. She let us know when she arrived and sent a photo. She was responsive to our texts so we felt comfortable being away.”
