“Hannah did an excellent job taking care of my cat while I was away. She was very friendly and accommodating, and sent photos of my pet during her check-ins. I feel better knowing she was here! Will definitely re-book her for my next trip.”


“Vanessa was very caring and patient to our chiweenie who is not easy to trust. She was very communicative with giving updates while we were away. I highly recommend! :)”


“Nicholas took great care of our kitties and sent wonderful updates which were VERY appreciated. It's so nice to come home to happy cats. If you're looking for someone to treat your pets well while you're out of town, you could not ask for a better person than Nicholas.”


“Deidre was fantastic. We were very anxious leaving our older chihuahua and standard poodle alone all day since they’ve become accustomed to being no more than 5 feet away from us since working from home the last 6 years. As soon as we met Deidre for the meet and greet we were put at ease. She’s has a calm, grounded presence that not only the dogs but even our scaredy cats responded too. She came by for three visits and sent full updates and many photos. We cannot recommend her highly enough.”


“Madison was great looking after the puppies, checking on the birds, and watering plants while I was away for a week. She gives detailed updates with photos and descriptions. Our dogs look perky and excited to have her around!”


“Stephanie rocks!! She has watched our cats twice now and each time we returned home they were happy and playful. Stephanie clearly takes good care of them and gives them attention and play time. She does the dirty work too, cleaning the litter and changing the pee pads. She's also a really cool person and super friendly!”


“Becky took care of my two cats for a week while I was on a river trip. She also watered my bonsai plants. Everything done just as I would have done it. I pleasure to come home and find everything in good shape.”


“Wonderful experience!! I will definitely use Ashley again and recommend her to anyone. She kept me updated and responded to messages very quickly. My cats were well taken care of. They are pretty social with me and not used to me being gone. So far they are not showing any separation issues and even the shy anxious one is doing great! Ashley stopped in to hang out twice a day and that extra people interaction each day from my past one a day visits has had a big impact. Sad as it is to say it’s almost like they didn’t miss me as much this time :) Thank you!!!”



“Kristina is an amazing sitter! She always does a great job with our boys. When Max had an eye infection crop up the day of our trip, Kristina put at ease by caring for him well, including medication application (which she had almost no notice for). Highly, highly recommend!!”


“We loved Helena, she treated our old dog with such great care. We will definitely be booking with her again and so appreciate her taking care of our dog.”


“Melanie did a great job taking care of my very unfriendly cat Daisy! She sent lots of pictures & updates, which I enjoyed getting. Melanie brought my mail in & took my garbage out to the curb for pick up too. She went above & beyond! I am so happy to have found her to take care of Daisy when I am gone!”



“Jerrie wad the best. Always attentive to Mike's needs as well as keeping me updated with pics and messages of how things were going. I have recommended her to my friends and family.”


About: I luckily was able to grow up on a farm where I was around horses, sheep, dogs and cats all throughout my childhood and young adulthood. I feel comfortable being about to sense what an animal needs and how to make them feel more as ease. I am a very active person and if you have an active dog, can get them out on adventure hikes. I work part-time and from home a lot of days. I am mostly home on the weekends and can be available with advance notice for any day or holiday. I have an apartment where dogs or cats can roam and are allowed on the bed. As I am home for much of the day they can be comforted that I am there and let out on frequent potty breaks.

“Grace has been excellent with my dog. He is larger and can be reactive to other animals so has been intimidating in the past for sitters. Grace took the time to meet him and learn his needs and has been awesome in caring for him. Would certainly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.”


“Nora and my kitty Lainey seemed to get along just great. The pictures posted were of a contented cat and I had no reason to doubt that Nora was not fulfilling her duties of a top-notch pet sitter. Nora is a capable and reliable choice for drop-in pet visits.”

Rory R.
“Rory is a truly a wonderful, responsible pet caregiver. I've been on a walk with Rory to socialize a dog and what sets her apart from other caregivers is her attention and compassion for animals. During our walk we had an unfortunate encounter with a ground hornets nest. I watcher Rory, first hand, pull hornets out the dog's coat before I could even register what was happening. She is always on the lookout for pet safety. Rory is also very communicative and engaged. Expect wonderful pet pictures from her outings! If you’re looking for someone responsible, kind, and genuinely caring, I highly recommend Rory. Your dog will thank you!”

Caelyn was the perfect pet sitter! She took great care of our fur baby and even fed our fish while we were gone. She was extremely reliable, trustworthy, and took her time to give lots of love and attention to our baby. She sends pictures too! We will definitely book with her again!
