About: I have experience with both young and older pets. With puppies and kittens, I stay consistent with routines and can help reinforce basic training like potty habits, feeding schedules, and positive behavior. For senior pets, I’m gentle and attentive to their needs, whether that means giving medication, moving at a slower pace, or just providing extra comfort and companionship. I also make sure pet owners feel at ease by keeping communication open—I can send updates, photos, and check-ins so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to create a stress-free experience for both you and your pet. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for. I make time for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day, and I’m consistent with routines so pets feel comfortable and secure. Throughout the week, I stay flexible to meet each pet’s specific needs, whether that’s extra visits, longer walks, or special care. I’m reliable and make sure every pet gets the attention and care they deserve. In my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets are comfortable, safe, and kept on their normal routine. I follow all feeding instructions, give fresh water, regular potty breaks, and plenty of exercise and attention. I also provide playtime, affection, and calm companionship so they feel at ease while you’re away. I keep the space clean and always respect the client’s home just like it’s my own.
About: Hi! I cannot wait to get to know your pet! Learning their routines, behaviors, and boundaries helps me ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable. Making sure you return to exercised, well behaved, and happy pets is the always the priority. During inclement weather, I provide safe outdoor potty breaks, with indoor play like puzzles and scavenger hunts. Ensuring they're still getting to work out their energy and your money is well spent. I'm happy to help figure out which service is best for you and your pet. Please reach out with any questions. And I'm happy to set up a meet and greet so that I'm available to help out at a moments notice. I make my living providing pet care and housekeeping. Remember sleep away camp when you were a kid? Or that one really cool babysitter? That's what your pet's time with me will be like. Your vacation is also their vacation. Whether at your home or my own, walks, or drop-in visits, I provide regular updates and so many cute photos to help assure that they're in good hands. My home has a large, fenced in backyard for all the desired romps and squirrel chasing. I live in a beautiful, easily walkable neighborhood; which is great for multiple daily adventures, stopping to smell all the smells and learn safe social skills. Whether at my home or your own, I'd like to know what your pet's current routines are, and any anxieties you or they might have. I appreciate the trust and responsibility I've been given while taking care of your loved ones and home.
“Kimba had a great time with Kaitlyn. She took great care of Kimba and sent pictures throughout the day. Kaitlyn is very responsive and makes me feel at ease. Kimba has a lot of separation anxiety and it was clear from the photos and when we picked her up that she’d had a great day. I know Kimba was in good hands with Kaitlyn. I’d use her again next time we are in town.”
About: Hi! My name is Logan and I reside in St Matthew’s. I’ve worked in pet care since age 12 with my childhood dog Lady. I now have only 1 pet (a cat named Big G) and have previously owned an Australian Shepard , exotic fish, and geckos . I love pets of all shapes and sizes and animals more broadly. What differentiates me from other pet sitters is my experience with high maintenance fish in addition to the usual suspects of dogs and cats . I am a substitute teacher with JCPS and have an afternoons and early mornings free for care. I have a flexible schedule and can make things work for your convenience. I typically visit clients home rather than host at my own residence . I am clean, prompt , and responsive when dealing with pets and their owners .
“Robin was great! Our Ani loved her. She was organized and ready for her and flexible with changing timing of drop-off and pick-up. Nice communication throughout with a picture update per day.”
“Suki had a great time! Mariah was very sweet and texted immediately whenever I was being a nervous Nelly and checking in on my pup. Suki came home and went straight to sleep so I count that as a win!”
“Melody is amazing and treated my Boseman Duke Ellington Lord Baltimore VII as her own. Her family is wonderful! I received pics and videos and regular updates. He's my first pup so she provided advice for me as a new puppy owner. Bosey adores Melody!!!”
“Ami was so kind and trustworthy, she took amazing care of my dog and I would highly recommend her to anyone anytime. She sent plenty of pics and videos - your dog couldn’t be in safer hands.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Macy was absolutely amazing with Bruno! She cared for him for an entire week with so much love, patience, and confidence. Every morning he was genuinely excited to see her, and that gave me so much peace of mind. As the owner of a 120-pound dog, it isn’t easy to trust someone else with him, but I felt completely comfortable leaving my big baby in Macy’s capable hands. She handled him with confidence and kindness, and it was clear she truly cared about him. She was also incredibly flexible and gracious as my schedule kept changing, pivoting without hesitation and making the whole experience stress-free. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I highly recommend Macy and will absolutely book with her again!”

It is about a 20 minute drive for me and there are plenty of sitters closer, but I will continue to make the drive, because it doesn’t get any better than her.”
