“Danielle is amazing! She is extremely professional and communicative. She met up with me before the trip and took great care of my cat, Ellie. Ellie can be shy and cautious of new people but Danielle took her time and gave her lots of love, space, and patience. Can’t wait to book with her again!”
“I found Lindy to be professional and caring. Beyond basic care she took the time to play with our lonely energetic young cat. I fully recommend Lindy’s pet sitting services.”

“Amanda was such a wonderful cat sitter for our cat, Ninja! Ninja was unfortunately a bit grumpy and less friendly since we were away, but Amanda was so patient and caring with her. She took the time to text with me, asking questions and learning more about Ninja’s preferences so she could help her feel more comfortable. She even brought a toy from home and stayed extra time to try to cheer Ninja up and build trust. We really appreciated how thoughtful and dedicated she was. Highly recommend!”
“Tiziana did great with my cats! Awesome communication and care. She was fantastic at giving my elderly cat meds twice a day and being patient with my somewhat skidish cat. Highly recommend!”
“Julia took great care of my two cats. She was very helpful petsitting last minute on a holiday weekend. She provided updates, pictures, and followed all directions. We will definitely use her again in the future. Thank you!!”
“Veronica is an amazing sitter! She took care of our fur babies while we were away from the holidays. I truly appreciate her patient and she has been super sweet with us. I definitely will trust her with our fur babies, thank you once again!”
“Heather took great care of my cat while I was away! I got good updates and photos. She was willing to have a quick chat before my trip so I could introduce her to my cat and go over everything in the house. Came back to a happy cat and she also took great care of my apartment!”
“I really appreciated Nicole's easy, accommodating style. She was happy to meet with me before the booking to let me explain my kitty's care and to set me at ease. I found her very warm and friendly. She took care of iO for 10 days, and sent me updates and pictures daily, which were so appreciated!”
“Communication with Danielle was prompt, thorough, and clear. She took good care of our cat and kitten and gave them love and attention. No problems or concerns whatsoever. I will definitely request her services again next time. Highly recommend!”
“Mary Alice was great. She asked the correct questions in the initial visit, which made it clear that she really knew what she was doing- and one of my very shy cats immediately sniffed her and let Mary Alice pet her. The house was actually cleaner when I got home than I'd left it! I was able to be gone and not constantly terrified for my two little voids, both of whom are quite old. Would definitely book again.”
About: Left my career in veterinary medicine to be a stay at home mom currently. I am available to care for all types of pets and livestock. My experience in the clinic allows me to medicate and take care of special cases safely, leaving you worry free while you are away from your fur baby. From growing up on a farm to fostering for local rescues I am comfortable caring for the tiniest kittens all the way up to 150 pound dogs and even farm animals. In nice weather I am available to take active dogs on local trails for hikes or just assist your senior dog on a quick potty break,whichever suits your need best! With veterinary emergency knowledge under my belt I know what to do if an unexpected situation arises while your away and to get your baby the best care in a time of need. Ultimately I would love to establish a on going relationship with you and your pet so we can bond and know eachother instead of putting them through the unnecessary stress of constantly having to meet new sitters each time. Recently became a stay at home mom, can accommodate your daily routine so your pets don’t have to change their schedules for when you’re out of town. I treat your pet and house as my own to make sure everybody is as comfortable as they can be. I’m comfortable with special cases and behavioral issues.
“My cat fell in love with her instantly!! Beth is an amazing pet sitter, helped with pick up and drop with flexible times, kept me updated with pics and always responded to my messages within minutes. I will definitely book with her next time ?”
About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. Let me know what you're looking for and we can discuss schedule time and routing. I can do my best to fit my schedule into your fur baby schedule. I have two fence in yard to provide safety for those who doesn't get along with others. I also have two dogs of my own which probably won't be alot of fun. My beagle is usually sleeping in the house all day as for the husky she usually laying in the back yard squirrel hurting. I can create your fur baby at night or provide a dog bed. I do allowed fur babies to sleep in the bed only with fur parents permission. My fur babies are not snugglers so they choose to sleep on their dog beds.

Susan P.
“Susan is , quite simply, the most incredible pet sitter you will ever find. I hardly know how to begin to describe her pet sitting abilities. She has taken care of my dogs for years--sometimes even on short notice, When I first got her to dog sit, I had two very easy, laid back dogs- an old Lab and an old Plott Hound. After they were gone I got a Pitt Bull Mix ( also very easy) and a Malinois mix who is the most high maintenance, high energy dog I have ever had. Susan was a trooper from day one --throwing frisbee, going for walks, taking her for rides, and field trips to Lowes--and of course, loving her. Both dogs adore her---and she them. I never have to be concerned about anything when I leave them with her. She follows feeding and outing routines scrupulously. She goes beyond what any other dog sitter would do, including filling in holes that the PB mix dug in the back yard! She sends me pictures of the dogs playing and evening pictures of them in quiet repose. And did I mention, she's also good with cats! I can't say enough good things about Susan and her pet sitting. She will spoil you for ever having another sitter! Just like the Allstate Ins. ad, "They're in good hands with Susan"!”
