“Victoria is amazing!! Our cat can be difficult to take care of because he usually doesn't like strangers, but Victoria was so patient with our cat! She's also an excellent communicator, sent us tons of pictures. Highly recommend her as a petsitter!”


“Kim was hands down the best cat sitter we have ever had. She took such good care to keep us informed on our babies with photos and updates, and went above and beyond to play with them and love on them as much as possible while we were away. She was extremely responsive and easy to communicate with throughout our entire trip. I seriously cannot recommend Kim enough to take care of your fur babies! She is fantastic!”


About: I’ve had a dog in my life since I was a child, and caring for them has always been a natural part of my daily routine. From feeding and walking to vet visits and playtime, I’ve been hands-on with every aspect of their care. Over the years, I’ve learned how to understand their needs, build trust, and create a safe, loving environment. That lifelong experience has given me a deep sense of responsibility and genuine love for animals, which I bring to every pet I care for. My husband and I work from home full time so there will always be someone to keep an eye on your pet. This allows me to pay close detail to your pet if they require special/more frequent care! I live in a fantastic neighborhood and my house has a full privacy fence with no alleyway. Your baby will be completely safe in my care until you are ready to pick them up. I have a blue heeler mixed who just turned 1 years old. If you have an active dog who likes to play, my heeler is the perfect daycare companion! If you have a senior dog who prefers to rest, our house has plenty of space where your baby can just lay down and hang out/nap.

About: Taking care of pets is something I have always loved doing growing up and up to this day. I have experience taking care of my own pets and friends/family pets for the past couple of years. I love providing that extra comfort for pets that take a bit longer to get comfortable in my home (no one likes to be uncomfortable even as humans). **UPDATED** I am currently off from work for the summer! With that being said I will be home this whole summer. Please make sure you try to book in advance as I do book 2 or 3 pets at a time☺️ I will continue to send the regular updates and pictures 📸. Your furry one is not only going to be getting a pet sitter but a whole family🫂. I do currently still live with my parents and we absolutely LOVE having different pets over as the weeks go by. We currently do not have any pets of our own only because it was very hard for us when our pups passed away… Having furry ones over makes not only me happy but my whole family and I know your furry one will absolutely love all the attention he/she will be getting. At the house it is me,both parents and I do have 3 younger siblings which they are 20, 9, and 7. My younger siblings are very very easy going with pups and usually just let pets be up until the pets seem a bit more comfortable to which then they will play with them. You will not have to worry about your pets being alone during their stay because we always have someone at the house! 🏡

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 12 years old, what started as helping friends and family turned into a true passion and a part-time job I love. With over a decade of hands-on experience, I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs who need extra patience and care. I also send frequent photo updates and keep communication open to give you peace of mind while you’re away. I also have a friendly Mini Dachshund named Honey who helps guests feel instantly comfortable and never alone. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. I work from home, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and walks throughout the day. I keep a structured routine with meals and check-ins, so pets feel safe and settled quickly. When pets stay in my home, they are welcomed into a clean, cozy, and dog-friendly space. They’re free to roam (unless you have specific preferences), and I stick closely to your care instructions, whether that’s feeding schedules, crate time, medications, or potty routines. I keep things low-stress, calm, and positive.

“This is our second time using Jaden. She is good about the requests we had regarding our pets! She also just has a great vibe to her so having her in our personal space wasn't uncomfortable!”


About: I am a teacher, a mother of three, and have two dogs and two cats of my own. Our pets are our family and we will treat yours like family as well. My children are 6, 8, and 11. They are very good at being gentle with your fur babies and will give them extra love and snuggles while you’re away. We have a 7 year old yellow lab (Moose) and a 3 year old Altonian Shepherd. They are pros at being a host vacation home for all our visiting fur babies. We also have two cats (Apollo and Lyla)that are very used to other animals in the home as well. Even around dogs that have never seen a cat before or some mildly cat aggressive dogs, are no challenge for them. All our pets are spayed/neutered, and up to date on their shots. I am a special education teacher at ICEvans and have been teaching for 13 years. I love my job. I am typically at work from 7-4, and am able to come home at lunch to take care of pets. We love to go for walks or play in the backyard to help your pet with any anxiety they may feel about being away from you. I have a fenced backyard so your dog can come and go as they need to. We also have a kennel he or she can use if needed. If boarding your dog at my house, please provide anything that will help your animal feel more at home such as their favorite bedding, toy, and food.

“Melanie was GREAT with our pup. She checked in every visit, sent lots of pictures, descriptions and went the extra mile every visit! I cannot recommend her enough, will definitely be using her in the future!”


About: I've taken care of dogs of almost all breeds since I was 14. My friends, family and neighbors have depended on me to take care of their dogs while out on work or vacations. I work full time at a pet clinic as a Communication Care Team but I am always willing to try to fit to your schedule to better help your pet. I have a fenced yard and three dogs that can keep your pet company. If the pet does not like mine, I can easily have them in separate rooms. I have a dog stroller if needed for elder dogs to go on walks, along with water bottles and a bowl.

“I was looking for a last minute drop in visit sitter and Victoria accepted. She sent pictures to keep me updated and was good at communication. Rocco loved her and will definitely go with Victoria in the future!”

Lilliana O.Star Sitter
“It was evident from our initial interview with Lily that my little pups loved her. Lily got down on their level and played with them/ gave them treats. She will send me pics of the puppies playing around in the yard. It takes so much anxiety away from me knowing that the girls are being taken care of. With two puppies there are "accidents." Lily always alerts me by shooting me a text to let me know and she always cleans them up prior to leaving. It's reassuring to know that our pups don't have to wait for us to get home in order to get their pen area cleaned up. When our youngest puppy had her surgery, Lily came back over later in the day to check on her. If we ever need her to come over twice, she is always willing to do so. As first time puppy parents, we often text or call Lily asking for advice. She has been very helpful in that regard.The girls look forward to Lily’s visits! My husband and I are very grateful for her services!”
