“Randi is amazing! She is super responsive and sent pictures and updates. Her being there to help while I had to step away helped me a ton. I definitely recommend her.”
“Leah has great response time to anything I needed and went over an extra time when I was worried about something small. The animals all seemed to respond well to her and she spent a nice amount of time playing and petting them so they didn’t feel so lonely!”
“Kimberly is super personable and quick to respond to messages and questions. She has an obvious passion for animals so I felt totally comfortable with her after our meet and greet! Will be booking with her again 😊”
“Alexis took great care of our three dogs. She is attentive and noticed a wound that I forgot to tell her about on one of them and engaged with me about it. She stopped by as requested for multiple play times and to feed the dogs.”
“Rachael was GREAT! She communicated with us throughout and gave our kitties all the love! I had such great peace and was able to enjoy our vacation knowing they were in good care!”

About: I have taken care of and owned domestic and exotic animals most of my life. Friends and family always go to me when it comes to watching their pets. I am making pet care my full time career. I will be available anytime time for feedings, walks, bathroom breaks, or even boarding animals. Anything your pet needs, I can make happen. I have a fenced in yard and doggy doors so pups can go in and out as they please. I have two of my own dogs too. (A golden and a corgi) They are extremely friendly and get along with any animal they have ever met. I have two cats and a ferret as well. They all play together and get along. They are also all fixed. If it is preferred that your pet stays away from certain pets I have, my home is big enough to accommodate any separation needs.
“Andrew is absolutely incredible!! We had to go out of town last minute and needed someone for our big rescue who still needs lots of training and care. His experience and general knowledge with all types of breeds made me feel so comfortable leaving our Millie in his care. He left great updates for every visit and ensured that she got good exercise and kept to her more recent training. Andrew will definitely be our go-to and on call guy for all stop ins and walks!”
“Michael is heaven sent. My boy, Weitzman, is a senior special needs pup. He needs a great deal of care and attention and not just any sitter is willing to take on the extra attention and work that’s needed. Michael enthusiastically has bonded with Weitzman and is giving Weitzman the close attention and care he needs. As a result, I have peace of mind that my baby is doing well, is safe, and is being properly cared for. I highly recommend Michael. He wants to get to know what your fur baby’s needs are so he can take good care of them. Thank you Michael for looking after my boy!”
“Vanessa was great. Dealing with my cat herd isn't easy because they are masters of hide and seek. She was able to find and photo a few and even got a few pets in with one of them. She provided updates and pics daily. Anything out of the ordinary or new cat destruction she provided notice! Nice to go away and not be stressed over their care!”
About: I have extensive experience with separation anxiety and elderly dogs who have medical needs. I take care of pets the way I would want my pets cared for. I own a cleaning company and have a very flexible schedule. I have a large yard and lots of space for the fur babies to romp and play! I treat them as if they’re members of my family🥰 lots of love, play, attention, and treats! Rest easy knowing your pets are safe and happy in my home!
“I found Tara earlier this year, as I wanted someone local to check on my kittens while I was away. She did a few days in October and then recently did 9 days while I was out in Asia on a trip. She showed up every day and did what was asked, as well as going the extra mile by bringing my mail and packages in.”
“Brandy did a great job! She provided drop in visits twice a day for a week for two cats. She was always timely, provided pictures and shared any unusual happenings. The cats were well cared for and happy when we returned home from vacation. I will definitely use Brandy in the future!”
“Jessica is a dependable, caring and communicative pet sitter! She took care of our small dog and 8 mos old kitten while we were away for the weekend. All visits were completed on time. Pets were well cared for. Jessica is great and will definitely use again!”
