Karen has been a real lifesaver! She has helped out on several occasions (with very short notice) to check on my two dogs and cat. I really appreciate her and my beasts look forward to seeing her again soon!!

Mary was so kind and quick in response! She came over to meet our animals and so we could show her their routines. Our animals were well cared for and loved!’ Communication was great throughout!

About: I provide reliable, attentive pet care and understand how important it is to keep pets comfortable while their owners are away. Every booking includes morning and evening updates with photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. I have hands-on experience caring for multiple pets at once, including dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. My responsibilities have included feeding, walking, exercise, playtime, and ensuring each pet receives the individual attention they need. I've cared for family pets, friends' dogs, and pets with unique care requirements. In addition to dogs, I have experience caring for other animals such as lizards and fish, which has taught me the importance of following care instructions carefully and maintaining consistent routines. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to provide a safe, stress-free experience while keeping their normal schedule as consistent as possible. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I'm often available for daytime walks, drop-in visits, and extended companionship during house-sitting stays. I'm currently a full-time college student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide pet care throughout the week, including weekdays, weekends, and varying times of day. This flexibility helps me accommodate your pet's routine and provide consistent care while you're away. Because of my flexible schedule, I'm often able to spend more time with pets throughout the day than sitters who work traditional 9–5 jobs, helping them receive more companionship, exercise, and attention. I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment in every pet-sitting experience. Since I care for pets in their own home, I respect your space and maintain your pet's normal routine so they feel secure and comfortable while you're away. During walks, your pet's safety is my top priority. I use secure leashing, stay aware of our surroundings, and avoid potentially unsafe situations such as busy roads or unfamiliar dogs. I take the time to understand each pet's behavior, personality, and comfort level to ensure safe and enjoyable walks.

About: I have been house and pet sitting since I was in high school. Friends, family, and neighbors are always asking if I can care for their animals and homes! I used to shadow a family friend who had a pet sitting business and I loved tagging along! I work full time as a teacher, but I get off at 2:35 so my weekdays have free afternoons and evenings. Weekends are completely free and I’ll be able to care for your pets any time of day. I can easily commute to your home to care for your pet. I don’t mind transporting your pets if needed. I will take great care and consideration when entering your home and ensure safety, fun and love for your pets!

Kelly was great and very professional and treated our little girl like her own! When we got back the house was clean and our pup was in good shape. Kelly is very communicative and sent pictures daily. We never worried about our little girl in her care. I would highly recommend her.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior pets needing extra patience and attention. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment that keeps pets comfortable while their owners are away. What sets me apart is my ability to adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I’m comfortable with basic puppy training, leash walking, administering medication, and following detailed feeding or care routines. I also have experience caring for senior pets, including providing gentle mobility support, monitoring health changes, and maintaining consistent routines to reduce stress. Above all, I treat every pet like family—making sure they feel secure, cared for, and happy while you’re gone. Pet care fits well into my daily routine. I work during the day and am available after 5:00 PM on weekdays, which allows me to provide evening walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I’m also available on weekends with flexible scheduling for longer visits, overnight stays, or extended care when needed. I make sure to plan my schedule carefully so I can give each pet my full attention and maintain consistent, reliable care. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment in every pet care situation. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely to keep pets comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I make sure doors and gates are secured, maintain a clean space, and always supervise pets during walks, feeding, and playtime. At my home, I have a Siberian Husky, so I’m very familiar with active, high-energy dogs and understand the importance of structure, exercise, and safe introductions. Above all, I focus on building trust through consistency, clear communication with owners, and treating every pet with patience and respect.

About: I love all animals and I try my hardest to make sure they’re their happiest. I have grown up around farm animals and do believe I’m more than qualified to take care of pups all sizes and ages! See availability below- taking care of animals is natural to me and I am dependent and responsible. I make sure every pet gets proper time and care whether It’s drop in’s, walks, feedings, or a stay! I focus on maintaining their familiar routines. I follow any instructions provided by the owner carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, playtime, and any special needs. I provide any update to the owners and ensure your space is respected while providing attentive companionship.

This is the second time we have had the pleasure of having Lauren sit for our cats, KC and Phoenix. Lauren visited our house once a day while we were on vacation and each time sent us adorable pictures of the kitties. Lauren also took care of the less glamorous part of sitting cats and we (and the cats) greatly appreciate her. Lauren is a joy to work with and I highly recommend her for cat or dog sitting!

Just a truly incredible person to watch Ash. He immediately attached to her and I'm pretty sure he already misses seeing her. Leslie went above and beyond numerous times over the nearly 10 day span watching Ash, and I never once worried about him. I absolutely plan on using her as a cat sitter for as long as I'm in the area!

About: I’ve grown up around dogs of all sizes and have 6 years of experience making sure pets stay happy and healthy while their owners are away. I have a ton of energy for long walks, park trips, and playing fetch for high-energy dogs, but I also can be calm and relaxed for senior dogs. Because I study at home, my schedule is very flexible, which is perfect for house-sitting! I can spend the majority of my day at your home, ensuring your pet is never left alone for long periods. I’m available for overnight stays during the week and on weekends, and I make it a priority to stick to your pet's specific walking and feeding routine so their day feels totally normal while you're away. I take the responsibility of staying in your home very seriously. I am extremely diligent about home security—always double-checking that doors and windows are locked and that your pet is secure before I step out. I pride myself on leaving your home exactly as I found it (or cleaner!). I’m also a very frequent communicator; I love sending daily photo updates and quick 'check-ins' so you never have to wonder how things are going.

Beth is very personable and extremely reliable. She was on time/early for our meet and greet and kept me up to date with everything going on with Holly while we were away. She treated Holly like her own and that’s what you want and expect when you’re leaving your pet/family member in the care of another. Will definitely use Beth again in the future.

Gabrielle took great care of my two cats while I was away for a week!! She was always on time with her drop in visits, followed all of my instructions closely, sent lots of great pictures, and went above and beyond by spending time playing with them and giving them treats. Even my very shy cat seemed to really love her. Will definitely book her again in the future!!

Megan did an excellent job of taking care of our two cats while we were away. She kept their litter boxes exceptionally clean and they were quite content when we got home. I would not hesitate to use Megan again, she was responsive and very kind.

Kiley was absolutely wonderful to my sweet pup. She provided play time and a potty break in the middle of the day when I was at work. And even managed to befriend my cat who hides from everyone. Her time and attention given to my pup was greatly appreciated by both the humans and the dog who was much happier being at home than at doggy daycare.
