About: I love cats and they are the funniest animals ever. I’ve owned a cat my entire my life so I know how unpredictable yet loving they can be. It’s important to me to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m attentive to each cat’s unique personality and routine, and I’m happy to provide feeding, playtime, litter box cleaning, and plenty of affection.
“Brianna did a great job of drop in visits for our cats over 12 days. Unfazed by winter weather, we received daily updates and pics. House was clean and cats very content when we returned. Great communications. Will definitely rebook.”
About: I’ve had the opportunity to care of cats while their owners were away, making sure they were fed on schedule, had fresh water, a clean litter box, and plenty of attention. I understand that every cat has a unique personality—some love to play and cuddle, while others prefer their own space—and I’m happy to adjust my care to fit their needs. As someone who truly loves animals, I’ll make sure your cat feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, companionship, or simply keeping their routine consistent, I’ll treat your cat with the same kindness and respect I’d give my own pets.
“Brian really came through for us at the last minute! Our usual house sitter had an emergency and had to leave two days before the end of our trip, and Brian jumped in to help even though he had never cat sit for us before. He was attentive to detail and kept us updated with pictures. Thanks again Brian you really saved our vacation!”

About: I have a 7 year old dog myself. I have always taken care of her, played with her, and even trained her as a puppy. She is puppy pad trained and knows basic commands such as sit, lay down, come, and drop it. I have also helped close friends take care of their dogs, walking and feeding, countless times. I work part-time so there are always a few days out of the week where I am available. I am usually always available at least 3 times a week. I have one pup who is loved immensely. I care for all animals as if they are my children. I love animals and caring for them so they will always be loved and cared for while in my care.
About: As an avid pet lover, friends and family turn to me to help watch their furry family members when they’re away from home. I’ve been a trusted cat sitter for years and hope I can help you with your pet needs!

About: Your dog will be treated as an honorary member of our family while in my care. I believe that our pets should be treated with love and respect. Your pooch will be pampered with plenty of walks (weather permitting), belly rubs, back rubs and playtime while you're away. If the weather is not permitting for walks, my yard is securely fenced in so we can always go back there for potty breaks! Why I love dog sitting I feel that dogs are a precious gift to be treasured and so I am dedicated to making sure they feel safe, secure and loved. I know how much I appreciate knowing my dog is in good hands and it's nice to provide the same experience for my fellow dog owners when they can't be at home with their pooches. Meet my pets I just have one dog, Emmy, and she is very sassy and loves being part of a pack when we have guests. About my yard I have a townhouse with a fenced in yard. I added chicken wire to the fence for added security so the tiny ones can’t squeeze through! My experience administering medication Yes, I am very comfortable administering medication. The price listed is for a 24 hour stay. Work remote on Fridays and Mondays. Not available T-Thurs. Available for daycare Friday - Monday Belly rubs and fetch are also part of the routine! I keep a close eye to make sure pets are staying out of trouble and I make sure they get plenty of love and attention.

I would definitely recommend using her. Thank You Jasmine.”
