“A wonderful and kind girl. Trustworthy above & beyond cat person. She stayed in touch multiple times a day and made the time pass for Bowie as if I had never left. My car has never been so at peace in my absence & I am so happy I found my new Catsitter.”


“Julie was very sweet, communicative, and followed every request. She sent lots of updates/photos and my animals warmed right up to her! She left my place spotless and would highly recommend her if you’re looking for a sitter!”

“Elise did a fantastic job dogsitting Athena! She was very responsive, gave daily updates (with pictures). She even took time meet Athena before I traveled, and to learn some commands. I had a complete peace of mind during my trip and Athena was sad to let her go. I would definitely recommend Elise, and book her again, 💯.”

“Josette did a wonderful job of taking care of our three dogs. She is responsive, reliable, was great with giving medications to our senior dog, providing updates and pictures. She stayed at our home while we were away, which we love because both my husband and I work from home. Our dogs are used to having someone at home almost all day long. She also walked our dogs in the morning and in the evening. She played ball with our dogs a few times a day in the backyard. She is also clean and tidy. She washed all the towels and bedding that she used. We did not expect that at all. We’re so grateful to have found her. She loves animals and understands a dogs’ body language. We will be returning clients. We highly recommend Josette to take care of your pets.”

“Catalina was a pleasure. It was my dog’s first time being watched in this capacity and she navigated with grace and patience. It was easy for me to breathe on my trip knowing my baby girl, Nike, was well kept. 10/10 Recommendation”

“Jennifer was great watching my pup while I was away! She was very communicative, sent photo updates and left my home how she found it. I also greatly appreciate her flexibility as I had construction going on during her stay.”


About: Hi! 😊 I'm a lifelong animal lover who's happiest when I'm spending time with pets. While reptiles and lizards are definitely my specialty (I have a bearded dragon named Beetlejuice), I grew up in a home full of cats and dogs and still help care for my family's pets whenever I can. Over the years, I've cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities—from Pit Bulls, Labrador and Retriever mixes, Chihuahuas, and Belgian Malinois to scruffy little mixed breeds—and I love getting to know what makes each pet unique. Whether your dog wants an adventure, your cat prefers quiet company, and everything in between, I'm happy to meet them where they are. Since I can't have furry pets where I currently live, I truly cherish every opportunity to spend time with cats and dogs. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away, and to give you peace of mind through dependable care and regular updates. I'll treat your pets like family because that's exactly what they are. I also have experience caring for reptiles and other small or exotic pets and am happy to provide specialized care upon request! I am happy to adapt my schedule to meet the needs of your furry friends as I am able to. I most available before 10am and after 3pm on weekdays, and all day most weekends. Please give me some pet time! I know every pet has their own routine, and I'm committed to following your instructions closely to help them feel safe and comfortable. I'll keep your home secure, communicate consistently, and send plenty of updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
“We love knowing that if Lori is looking after our Lucky when we are out of town, we do not have to worry about anything. She is so good with dogs and is so knowledgeable about them. We cannot thank her enough for everything she does for him. Highly recommend!”

“Isabella took such great care of my kitties! I’m so grateful to her! She communicates well and was amazing to work with. I am a repeat client and will continue to work with her in the future!”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole like. Growing up my mom had a dog rescue so I was constantly caring and loving new fosters! Whether it was playing with the pups or giving medicine to the seniors, I enjoyed every minute of it. I am currently working part time so I am pretty flexible. I work morning shifts and am off before noon. I am able to work around what works best for you! My pets are usually with me 24/7. I have a closed off courtyard that my dogs enjoy wondering around. My pets have portioned meals and are on a feeding schedule. My dogs are walked either in the morning or at night to avoid the hot pavement. My cat is pretty independent but when he chooses to want attention, we play for however much time he thinks is needed. He also has a feeding schedule. I clean his litter box weekly and ensure the litter is scooped out once or twice a day.
“Ryanne was amazing with my two cats! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure they were comfortable and well taken care of. I came home to two happy cats and would absolutely book with her again!”


“I can’t sing Michelle‘s praises enough. We were going abroad for about a week and had another sitter cancel at the last minute. Michelle followed up quickly, scheduled a meet and greet and agreed to sit our four pets while we were away. She is awesome. They warmed up to her so quickly, and she was communicative through both text and photos. We hope we can work again with you in the future, Michelle!”

“Naomi was amazing. She watched my nervous pup and was very patient with her. She provided clear and frequent updates. She even worked on some training with her! I will absolutely be rebooking Naomi.”

“Jay Lynne was great with our two very different cats. She catered to each of their personalities and made sure they were super well cared for. She provided us with frequent updates and was an amazing communicator. We really appreciate her and will definitely have her care for our babies again.”

“Leah took great care of our pup! We had such peace of mind while we were away. She spent lots of quality time with him at home and on walks, definitely goes above and beyond! Glad we found her!”


“Vivian was an awesome sitter for our 8 month old pup. She was loving, caring and playful with her to tire her out. She was on time and followed our instructions. We definitely will use her again! Thank you Vivian!”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I grew up with four dogs and have spent my entire life around animals, giving me a strong understanding of their unique personalities, needs, and behaviors. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve fostered cats and kittens through rescue organizations, providing daily care, socialization, feeding, medication administration, and support for animals of all ages and temperaments. I’ve also helped coordinate and transport foster cats to their forever homes, ensuring they travel safely and comfortably. I am also a photographer for work, so if you want pictures of your furry friends when you’re away- I can definitely provide that! I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, cuddles, or simply a reliable companion while you’re away, I’ll provide attentive care, regular updates, and plenty of love. I part time work remotely with a flexible schedule. Looking to play with some pets and make extra cash while I’m not working as much! I work remote with a flexible schedule and looking to hangout with some furry friends in my free time when I’m not scheduled! I can walk, play, cuddle, entertain any furry friend!

I could not be happier with our experience and will def be booking with Jaylynne again! She stayed the weekend with our husky (that has special/medical needs) and cat and they were happy and relaxed when we returned. She sends pictures and is a great communicator. The peace of mind her service brings is a game-changer. Thank you Jaylynne!

Josette is the absolute best! She’s taken care of Buster a few times now and I feel so fortunate that we found her. This neurotic dog mom no longer has to worry when she’s away. Buster’s an anxious senior with some aches and pains and because Josette’s so empathic she’s naturally in tune with what he needs. We just adore her and can’t thank her enough for taking such excellent care of our baby!

Ivet was an absolute lifesaver. My scheduled sitter was hospitalized the night before while I was traveling out of state, and Ivet stepped in at the last minute. She met with my first sitter for the handoff, was patient and understanding with Marcy while she warmed up, and kept me updated with plenty of messages and photos throughout the stay. Marcy ended up feeling completely comfortable with her, which gave me so much peace of mind. I’m incredibly grateful and would absolutely book with Ivet again!

Zakira was fantastic watching our dog, Bear, for a two-night stay at our house! She was super communicative and kept us updated the whole time, making it so easy to relax while we were away. Bear was clearly in great hands and well cared for. On top of that, Zakira went above and beyond by taking out the trash and stripping the bed sheets before leaving—things we didn't ask for or expect, but deeply appreciated! We would definitely recommend Zakira and look forward to booking her again.

Danielle has watched our dog Sophia and home 3 times and continues to do a fantastic job. She sends frequent updates and pictures of a happy dog, and we return to our home in perfect shape and even better than we left it. A huge thank you to Danielle for taking such great care of our dog!

I had a wonderful experience with Zachary! Communication was excellent from start to finish, and I always felt updated on how Stewart was doing. As the owner of a senior dog with mobility challenges, it's not easy leaving him in someone else's care, but I felt completely at ease. He was incredibly patient, attentive, and compassionate with Stewart, making sure all of his special needs were taken care of. It was clear that he genuinely cared about his comfort and well-being. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup, and that gave me so much peace of mind. I wouldn't hesitate to book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone, especially if you have a senior or special-needs dog who needs a little extra love and attention!
