“Jacquelyn has been absolutely amazing with our high energy puppy. She keeps her busy and sends consistent updates. Koa is always tired and happy when she leaves. Thank you so so much!”

“We have hired Paul for visiting our two cats numerous times and he always provides great care. Prior to hiring him for our latest vacation, one of our cats had developed separation anxiety. We asked Paul to keep an eye out for excessive grooming which he did. During a visit early on, he noticed that this cat took a liking to his jacket and napped on it during the visit. Paul left his jacket for the remainder of the visit thinking it might help, which it did. We think that is going above and beyond! We highly recommend Paul for your pet sitting needs. He wiIl truly keep your pet’s care at heart!”
“I cannot recommend Michelle enough! My cat, Catima, is usually very shy with new people—she tends to hide for days until she realizes we’re not coming back and that she has to trust her sitter. But with Michelle, something incredible happened: Catima came out on the very first night. From the moment we met Michelle, it was clear that she truly understands cat psychology. Even during our meet-and-greet, she instinctively read Catima’s body language, knowing exactly when to give her space and when to gently invite herself into Catima’s world. That kind of intuition and knowledge isn’t something you can teach—it’s a gift. Michelle’s deep understanding of animals, especially shy or anxious cats, makes her an absolute gem of a sitter. She didn’t just take care of Catima; she made her feel safe, respected, and comfortable in a way I’ve never seen before. If you have a shy or nervous cat, Michelle is the person you want caring for them. I’m beyond grateful for the peace of mind she gave me, knowing my cat was not just looked after, but truly understood.Thank you Much Michelle;)”

About: I can’t help but feel my inner dog mom kick in when I hear someone say, "I’ll walk your dog and play tug-of-war with them!" And in the back of my mind, I’m thinking, "Okay, but are you ready to throw yourself in front of a squirrel for them?!" Lol. But seriously, my instincts to protect and nurture animals under my care runs very deep. When your pet is with me, I’ll treat them with the same care and devotion I’d want for my own. I was blessed to be the mom of a miniature pinscher named Oakley. I cared for him as his full time mommy for the last 8 years of his life. In his final year, I was on constant alert, monitoring his breathing, fine tuning his diet, researching everything I could and working with vets to adjust his medications as his needs changed. He was my everything, and the thought of trusting someone else with his care, especially toward the end was terrifying. And I know I’m not the only one who feels that way about their pet. If you’re nervous about leaving your fur baby with someone new, I get it. But I hope sharing a little of my story reassures you that I don’t take this responsibility lightly. If your pet has special needs, you can trust that I’ll provide patient, attentive care. I know from experience that even the smallest details can make a big difference. I will never judge you for asking me to pay close attention to things that might seem unimportant to the average person. I will listen and do my absolute best to provide the best care possible. I follow instructions to the letter, take notes, and will go the extra mile to make sure your pet is safe, happy, and cared for. Need picture updates? Texts? Calls? No problem, I want you to feel just as at ease as your pet. They are our loved ones, and they deserve nothing less than the very best care and compassion. I’m down to earth, calm and easy-going, but also incredibly reliable. I have cared for pets all my life including dogs, cats and guinea pigs! I am comfortable around all pets and have been told on multiple occasions that I bring a calming presence to a home and that animals have a tendency to feel comfortable and safe around me. If you’re interested in scheduling a meeting or consult with me, feel free to reach out! I am here for you! I work part time and have a very flexible schedule. I repair musical instruments which I'm often able to do a lot of my work from home or where ever I am pet sitting. I'm also a music teacher but that is only a few hours out of my week. :) I have a first floor apartment with a contained dog play area right next to my apartment building. I live near the Lakes and am very familiar with lots of good walking routes in this area. I take dogs out for potty breaks often!
“Sarah was great! She took excellent care of our two cats with daily drop in visits. Very responsive and even brought packages inside for us that came when we were gone.”

“Ashley was absolutely phenomenal caring for my pets while I was away for a week. Leaving your babies behind is never easy, but she made the entire experience stress-free. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly treated my pets as if they were her own (even when Figaro got a little spicy). Ashley kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was traveling. When I returned home, my pets were happy, relaxed, and well cared for, and everything was exactly as it should be. It’s obvious that Ashley genuinely loves animals and takes great pride in providing excellent care. I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter, and I would trust her with my babies again in a heartbeat. I highly recommend Ashley to anyone looking for someone dependable, caring, and attentive to care for their pets!”

“I really like her ALOT!!!! But more importantly my dog Scooter absolutely loves her. I will be requesting her every time I need to go out of town. She’s so prompt and shows so much attention and affection to my dog. Can’t say enough positive things about her!!!!”
“Colleen takes such great care of our pup. This time around, Pandy was recovering from an injury and Colleen made sure she took her meds, gave her snuggles and love and sent me updates and pics! I’m so grateful to have her help and Pandy is always happy to see her!”


About: What do you want while you're on vacation? I can offer you peace of mind. As a stay at home mom with a flexible schedule, I'm able to provide attentive care not only for your pets, but for your home as well. I can keep routines consistent, give your pets plenty of love and attention, and making sure your home stays clean and well cared for. You can relax knowing everything is in good hands. ❤️ I just moved to the area from Texas. I am a stay at home mom and I love all animals. I've had dogs my whole life. We don't have any pets right now and my kids absolutely love dogs, especially playing fetch, going on walks, and cuddles. I am very flexible and I try to respond fast. I will take time stamp photos if you request it 😊 I want you to have peace of mind.

“I accidentally gave my kitty a sedative instead of his probiotic and when Robert arrived he was lethargic and he immediately recognized that something was off and contacted me and a vet (my kitty is diabetic and needs extra care) and Robert went above and beyond making sure he was safe and healthy. He has sat for me before and is my go to sitter for whenever I travel.”

“Rachel was amazing. Her check ins with the notes and photos let me know everything that was going on and I fell she went above and beyond with her care for my pup. Will definitely continue to work with her going forward”

“Kimberly took great care of both of my pups and made sure they got plenty of play time and affection. The photos and check ins gave me a lot of confidence they were doing well at home while I had to be out of town for work. I would not hesitate to hire Kimberly again. 10/10”

“We were gone for about 8 days and are so glad Nakiah was able to check in on our cats twice a day. They warmed up quickly to her and we can tell by the photos she sent that they felt very comfortable with her. She was always easy to contact and immediately reached out when an issue with the house arose. Thank you again Nakiah!”
“Thank you so much for providing us a sense of peace of mind knowing Kim was being well taken care of! Love all the pics you sent and we appreciate your flexibility, your prompt communication, and level of care for the pooch-ness!!! 🤍🐾✨”

“Brenden is absolutely incredible! He was thorough and followed all instructions/directions. He is friendly, caring, detail oriented, and exceptional with my animals. He took incredible pictures of my little fuzz children and spent time playing with each of them every visit. He was quick to communicate if any issues came up and very responsive. I will absolutely book with Brenden again!”

“Rachel was prompt to all of her check-ins and always cleaned up after Ava. She was very gentle and patient with my older dog. I will certainly ask Rachel every time when I need a sitter!”

“Paola was fantastic! She did a couple of drop-ins for Remmy and went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. She made sure Remmy ate, got her walks in, had plenty of playtime, and kept me updated the whole time. I felt completely at ease knowing Remmy was in such good hands. I highly recommend Paola.”

“We love Alicia! She did daily drop ins with our kitty while we were out of town and she is always wonderful. She’s prompt, respectful of our home, and gave me daily updates on how she was doing!”

Michelle did a wonderful job taking care of my dog while I was away. She was attentive, communicative, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. My dog was happy, relaxed, and well cared for when I returned. Knowing Michelle was looking after my pet gave me complete peace of mind. I highly recommend her services!

Bob was able to take care of our cats on very short notice, he communicated well and he showed up as scheduled. We have a new kitten, so I was nervous about leaving him for the first time. Bob put us at ease and took excellent care of both kitties. Highly recommend.

Daniella is my go to sitter! She is amazing. My husband and I were on our honeymoon and a lot of random things were going wrong as it what seems to always happen LOL (everything out of Daniela’s control) and she problem solved every step of the way and tried her hardest to not have to involve us at all. She always goes above and beyond and is so sweet to my kitties!

We have used Tony for various drop in/feed/walks due to long work days & he’s been awesome. We had a meet & greet prior & knew he’d be a good fit for our high energy 6 year old bully breed. On his visits he’s been super communicative. Checked in during his visit. Sent pics & was reliable in punctuality & providing great care for our boy. Would recommend!

Nichole went above and beyond when taking care of my Bengals 💕 She’s an excellent communicator, so thoughtful, caring, responsible and trustworthy. I’m so happy to have found her, and will definitely leave my cats in her hands when traveling! They were less stressed than I’ve ever seen them after me leaving, and can tell it’s the amount of care + attention she put into taking care of them
