“My dogs and cat were in such good hands. Highly recommend him. Will use again and again. Was in another country and he was so patient with my payment issue. I didn’t have to worry even at 3700 miles away.”

“Katherine did great with our 3 YO Lab and our rescued 8MO newly rescued pup! She did an extra "meet & greet" since we adopted the pup after we had booked the drop-ins for one dog. She was on time, sent multiple photos to assure us the two were doing great, and left an extra note to let us know of a small problem the pup had while we were away. Great 1st assignment!”

About: Hi my name is Lexi and ever since I was younger i knew my passion one day work was to work with animals! Iv loved/ cared for animals my whole life and knew my career was set when i started working with dogs🐶🤍 I recently moved up to the area and currently work with dogs as my full time job. I enjoy working there so much & love spending time with each and every pup! Anytime outside of work I would love to help other dog owners out by taking care of their pups needs such as; caring for them, bathing, walking, feeding, and more! 🐾 One thing about me is I’ll treat your pup as if they’re one my own!🥰 I have three small dogs who would absolutely love some company to hang out with:) I have a safe fenced in yard for all the pups to run around and play in 🎾🐶 I also can provide a large bedded crate to sleep in as well!

“Rachel is amazing! Maybe a "cat whisperer?!" First time leaving my dog for more than 1 night. I loved the pics I got more than I expected! It eased my mind, so I could concentrate on my work trip duties. She gave great care & love to my 2 cats and 1 dog. Highly recommend! Good job, I will use again!”

About: ***So you want a housesitter?Please read carefully before booking. ***I have an 11lb Havanese in my home who will be w/me for housesitting and boarding assignments*** I live and work downtown (full-time remote). I can host your pet overnight in my home; stay overnight in your home if needed. Pop-in visits to provide breaks, walks, feeding if you live within a reasonable distance. I can also provide day care services. Very flexible and try to respond promptly bc we all have busy lives. I do not have a crate. Bringing your own crate is optional but not required. House broken/trained is preferred. I prefer to host 1 dog at a time. 2 dogs from the same household would be possible but prefer not to mix dogs from multiple households. ***Housesitting notice - I do have an 11lb Havanese puppy that would accompany me for overnight housesitting assignments. He's house-trained, does not shed and very friendly with people and other dogs.*** ***Boarding / House-sitting requests please note that I have a 1yr old 11lb Havanese in my home. Very social, friendly and playful. He gets along w/all people and dogs. He will also be w/me for any house-sitting bookings. House-trained and not destructive.*** I usually reply to requests within 10-20 min. If it's after 11 then the next morning. I work remote full-time Mon to Fri 8-5. Can do pop-in visits, walks and feedings as needed or on a set schedule that works best for your pet's current routine. Condo here and unfortunately do not have a yard but there are lots of green spaces near my condo at 10th and Mulberry. Space is over 1200 sq ft so plenty of room for your pet. ***I do have an 11 lb Havanese puppy that loves attention but is very smart and picks up on queues from other dogs. Shy and timid upon introduction and will play only if the other dog engages. Loves people and attention. My Havanese will be present for boardings and will accompany me for house-sitting bookings***

About: I have always been around animals and taking care of them since I can remember. What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and ability to adapt to each pet’s individual needs and personality. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, including energetic puppies and kittens who need extra attention, structure, and consistency, as well as senior pets who require a calmer environment, medication schedules, and gentle care. I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience by maintaining routines, providing plenty of affection and exercise, and paying close attention to behavior changes or health concerns. I’m also highly organized with feeding schedules, walks, cleanup, and communication, so owners can feel confident their pets are in caring and dependable hands. I have three cats at home(Boomer, Clementine and Perci) As well as one very sweet Great Dane (Gretta)! From June 1st- June 14th I am getting my CNA so I will not be available between the times of 7am-4pm on weekdays. Other than that I am able to do anything to meet your pet sitting and or dog walking needs. As well as after these two weeks I am free and available whenever. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I carefully follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, clean litter boxes, and make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I also monitor their behavior and overall wellbeing to ensure they stay comfortable and healthy while their owners are away. I respect each client’s home by keeping everything clean, organized, and secure, and I provide regular updates so owners feel reassured that their pets are safe and well cared for.

About: Hi, I’m Grace! I have experience caring for pets of all temperaments, sizes, and ages, from fur 🐶 to scales 🦎 to feathers 🐓. I grew up around farm animals, have fostered bunnies, and taken care of senior pets and animals with special needs. My favorite part about pet sitting is getting to know your pet and their unique personality🤓 I would love to help provide stress-free care for your pets while you’re away with lots of photos and love like they are my own! ♥️ I’ve had two free-roam bunnies Honey and Bee cross the “rainbow bridge” and currently have an adventure cat named Toad and two of our rescue pups we are training — a Siberian Husky named Simon and a Blue Heeler mix Sage I am free to sit wherever, whenever! I work a full-time job, but I have a flexible schedule and am open to changes according to your needs :) I am a tidy and attentive sitter that will make sure to follow directions closely. My goal is to give the best care for your pet while you’re away!

“Nejra is the best!! She was amazing with my cat and he loved spending time with her! She even went out of her way to clean up messes he would create as cats do. Also cleaned the litter box for me as I was gone. She helped ease the anxiety of leaving my pet alone. Would recommend to anyone needing a pet sitter!”

Kayla did a great job of caring for our two cats while we were gone. She also watered a few inside plants, as requested. Based on Kayla's daily report and pictures each time, it appears that the cats were comfortable around her, even the very shy one. We will definitely use Kayla's services again.
