“Rachael was amazing! She was able to watch Poppy while I went out of town for a wedding and sent updates and even helped administer some eye drops for her! Would absolutely trust her with Poppy and any other pet again!”


“Fantastic experience with Kelly as our pet sitter! Our minds were at ease the whole weekend knowing Kelly was taking such good care of our pets! Thank you so much Kelly!”


“Noelle was amazing. It was clear that Moona was well taken care-of when I got home. It was clear that Noelle is great with cats, since Moona showed her belly to her the first time! Noelle is professional, kind, and easy to communicate with. I'd recommend her to anyone in need of a sitter for their furbaby.”


“Denise is incredible! I just moved to the area and haven’t built up a network of folks to look after our animals yet. My wife and I lucked into finding Denise! She was punctual, responsive, and even though she wasn’t in charge of looking after the cats, she let us know about them over the course of our wedding weekend. She just graduated from college and we were fortunate enough to meet her before she starts her new career where she will be helping to make this city even better as an engineer. She is responsible, kind, and goes out of her way to care for your animals. 10 out of 10 would highly recommend, and will be lucky to have her look after my pup again in the future. Thank you Denise!”


“Teagan was so kind and responsive when watching our shy cat! She even watered some of my plants that I had forgotten to water before leaving on our trip. I will definitely hire her again!”


“Kaylee was awesome! We hired her to watch our puppy for a day. She was very responsive, took great care of our pup and sent lots of photos to us.”

About: Instead of just walks, I offer hikes, trail explorations, and extended outdoor play sessions, perfect for energetic dogs. I am not just taking them outside; I am experiencing the outdoors with them. I have an outgoing personality, meaning that I will connect with your pets on a deeper level. I always make sure they get enough playtime while also making sure the activities are stimulating for them, preventing boredom and promoting their well-being. My love for the outdoors makes me very comfortable and capapable in various weather conditions and terrains, ensuring consistent and enjoyable outdoor time for pets, regardless of the elements. My daily and weekly routine is perfectly tailored for providing top-notch pet care! Having just graduated college, my schedule is incredibly flexible, which is a huge advantage for pet sitting. As a morning person, I'm up early and always take care of my furry clients before my 9 AM workout, ensuring they get their essential morning walks and feedings right on schedule. If I have appointments, I make sure to book them for the afternoon, which leaves my mornings completely dedicated to your pets. My flexible schedule is a huge asset, allowing me to easily adjust to specific needs or even last-minute requests. Even my grocery shopping is adaptable; I simply go on Saturday or Sunday, depending on my pet-sitting commitments that weekend. This means your pet's routine remains consistent and cared for, no matter what! Whether I'm caring for your beloved pet in my home or yours, my top priority is always their safety, comfort, and maintaining their familiar routine. I start by meticulously pet-proofing the environment, removing any potential hazards and ensuring everything is secure so they feel incredibly comfortable. Having just graduated college, my flexible schedule is a huge asset, allowing me to fully dedicate my mornings to your furry friend before my 9 AM workout, ensuring they get their essential walks and feedings right on time. Any personal appointments are always scheduled for the afternoon, keeping my mornings completely open for pet care. When in your home, I'll diligently follow all your detailed instructions, from feeding schedules to medication, and I'll keep you updated with clear communication and photos, always letting you know when I arrive and depart. I'm also prepared for any unexpected situations with emergency contacts at hand. In my home, your pet will enjoy a safe and stimulating environment with constant access to fresh food and water, plenty of active playtime (especially since I love the outdoors!), and consistent hygiene. Even my grocery shopping is adaptable, fitting in on Saturday or Sunday around my pet-sitting commitments. Ultimately, I'm dedicated to providing a seamless, stress-free, and loving experience for your pet, no matter where they are.

“Ingrid was an amazing dog sitter! She was punctual, dependable, and truly went above and beyond.

I would absolutely recommend Ingrid to anyone looking for a trustworthy and thoughtful sitter!”


“Allie took the best care of my two cats! She sent me pictures and videos of them daily, with updates, always stayed around 30 minutes, and even got them to play with her. I felt very safe leaving them in her care!”

Lena took absolutely wonderful care of my beloved Mia. Mia has some aging kitty issues and Lena was great at attending to the medication and additional cleanup required. The first few days Mia wasn't very playful but Lena took the time to encourage play anyway. I will definitely book with Lena again!

Chelsea is such a great sitter! My cat Lance loves hanging out with her. Chelsea does a great job at making sure Lance has enrichment through different toys and treats. She’s easy to communicate with and I would recommend her to others!

I can always trust that Victoria will take great care of my pets! She definitely makes my time away easier, knowing she will be keeping the boys well fed and entertained.

Lauren always does such a great job watching our senior cat and 1 year old cat. She is our go to pet sitter and we would definitely recommend to a friend.

I had a great experience with Cara and Tom while I was away this weekend. They sent me thorough updates and many photos of my cat Qtip, which really gave me peace of mind. Thank you both!

Katie was amazing! I have an elderly dog and a cat who requires a lot of petting and Katie took amazing care of them. She sent daily care report cards and lots of photos which made me anxiety free for them on my trip. She even watered my tomato plants and took out the cat liter trash when she left. HIGHLY recommend her

Kirstin is a thoughtful and thorough caretaker. Grateful for clear communication with me during my time away.

Mandy was awesome! She was really easy to communicate with and updated us with pictures every visit! We knew Norman was in good hands.

Kaylee was incredible in looking after our cat. She was very communicative with us, clearly loved and cared for our cat, and was flexible with some of our pet’s unique challenges. We will definitely work with her again!

As always, Adam was awesome with our dog Milo. He always gives great updates with photos! We never worry about Milo when Adam is looking after her!

Amanda was super helpful!!! I have two very skittish cats, and she was super understanding of that - so much so that one of them willingly came out to say hello!!! I rarely go away for long so I'm super grateful for the great communication and genuine care for my babies.

I always feel so confident when I know that Cassidy will be coming by to check on my pups! She sends the sweetest photos and updates which helps me feel total ease when I have a long work day and have to be out of the house for a longer day! Thank you Cassidy.

Another great visit from Kyle! Thank you again for all your care and attention to Silvio. We feel so comfortable leaving him home knowing Kyle is able to stop by and provide him all the love he deserves!

CJ is always my go to pet sitter! She is reliable, friendly, and makes sure my furry friend is well taken care of. I will always recommend her!

Jennifer was a great sitter for Gary the cat! She sent the best pictures and videos, filled out the report cards throughly and was just a delight to work with. Thank you so much for helping last Kim during an emergency. Highly recommend Jennifer!

I felt comfortable leaving my cat for a week with Skylar coming to check in on her! She sent tons of pictures and videos and was very timely and caring! I will continue to book her in the future!

Kelsey was amazing overall. Great communication and took good care of Luna. Uploaded plenty of pictures and was available even when I came back early to pick up my key.

Lanae went above and beyond to take great care of Elvis while I was away on a long vacation. She provided daily updates including lots of pictures and videos of my pet and ensured he received plenty of love and attention. She also paid keen attention to his daily needs.
