About: I’ve shared my life with cats for years — currently with my 10-year-old cat, Lux, who has taught me everything about patience, body language, and earning a cat’s trust. I understand that every cat is unique: some want constant attention and playtime, while others just need quiet companionship and a gentle hand. I’m experienced with everything from shy or independent cats to affectionate lap warmers. I know how to handle routines, feeding schedules, litter maintenance, and giving medication if needed. Most importantly, I take the time to make each cat feel safe and loved in their own space — with plenty of chin scratches, playtime, and peaceful company while you’re away.

“Kristin was very nice and welcoming upon arrival. Rose went to her with no problem which helped make the drop-off a lot easier as this was Rose first time at doggy daycare. Kristin was very responsive when I checked in on Rose through the app and also provided pictures of her as well. I know Rose enjoyed her time with Kristin and the other pups because she got in the car and went straight to sleep. Thank you again for accepting Rose on such short notice.”
“Hayley was great with my fur babies! She sent tons of videos and pictures while they were with her. It felt great to be updated about my dogs throughout the day, and seeing what they were up to. She was very kind and polite; overall great service! I will definitely be bringing my dogs back to her. I already know its a guaranteed great time for them. Thank you Hayley!!”
“Robin did a great job watching my dog! She was responsible, attentive, and made sure my pup was happy and well cared for. I appreciated the updates and felt at ease knowing my dog was in good hands. Would definitely trust her again in the future!”
“2nd Day that she’s kept my baby and we love her ! María has so much of energy which most sitters can’t handle but Lexie makes sure my baby has plenty of play time. After picking her up she comes back calmer which mama loves after a long day of work ! Not to forget she was able to pick her up instantly after booking. You can most definitely count on her reliability, empathy, and compassion when looking for the right sitter.”
“Malia has genuinely saved my life this summer. Getting a puppy in the busiest part of my season with my partner away wasn’t our smartest move but we just knew we’d never find another one like Bear and had to have him. He’s well crate trained and Malia pops over during the shifts I can’t have a family member over to let him out and play with him till I get home. This weekend she she watched him while I put in twenty four hours at work and it was such a weight off my mind knowing he was being so well taken care of. She’s a great communicator and sends photo updates and he’s just grinning away. I literally don’t have the words to express how grateful we are for her and the care she takes of our fur baby.”

“Holi is wonderful! Juniper is always excited to “go to work” as I say in the morning. I appreciate that I can drop Juniper off early and that she has some doggos can play with during day care. She always comes home happy and worn out from a day of play.”
“You can really tell Pamela loves what she does and is dedicated to caring for animals. I’m so happy my dogs enjoyed their time with her and we are looking forward to our next visit. Thanks again! 🐶🐾”

“I knew I made the right decision when, Patunia burst through the door to meet Elizabeth. She is trained (or so I thought) to wait for company to come in. I instantly felt at ease and knew she was the one for my girl. Very caring, communicative, and friendly I'm very happy with the help Elizabeth was able to give me. You'd do right by hiring her.”
About: I’ve taken care of many animals over the years and I decided to expand to outside of my family. Because of my love of pets and as a college student with free time I have decided to fill that time with something I love, taking care of animals. I love all animals and have taken care of a dachshund, terrier, cats of all kind, and even insects and amphibians. I currently work part time at a gym and am a college student but I have free time that I would like to fill with something that benefits the people around me. I have taken care of many dogs and am comfortable with any instructions you can give me and promise to do exactly what you tell me when taking care of your loved pets!
About: I’ve had many dogs all throughout my life, so I know all of the tips and tricks for a happy healthy canine! I am constantly taking care of my friends/family’s dogs! I am currently a nail technician. This means I make my own schedule at the salon I work at. I am extremely open with availability, and I want to make pet care as convenient as possible. My house is fully fenced in with a large backyard great for playing! There is never anything small on the floors that a dog could get into or choke on!
About: I am a full time and personally insured pet sitter with experience caring for senior, neonatal, disabled, medicated, and even show animals. There is no pet I can't care for, no matter how large or small! I am a full time pet sitter, so I can work my schedule around any time needs you may have.

Your pet will be able to follow their normal routine in the comfort of their own home.
About: Animals have always been part of my daily life — I currently share my home with a sweet 10-year-old cat and a 5-month-old terrier puppy, so I’m no stranger to different personalities or energy levels! Training my own puppy from the start taught me patience, structure, and how to keep even the most playful pets focused and happy. I also have a close relationship with a licensed veterinarian whom I can consult at any time. While I’m not a medical professional myself, this connection gives me added confidence in handling emergency situations calmly and responsibly. I treat every cat and dog like family, making sure they feel loved, secure, and cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet needs calm companionship, structured puppy play, or just someone who understands both meows and woofs, I’ve got it covered.

About: I have a lot of experience with handling dogs and pets including feeding, walking, playtime, and high energy or big pets. I’ve been around animals all my life and i’ve always loved them! My goal is to always make sure pets feel safe, cared for, and comfortable. I’m currently in nursing school, so my schedule is flexible during the summer! I have plenty of time to give your pets attention, playtime, walks, and care throughout the day. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability to make scheduling easy and reliable. I have a fenced backyard and live right by the beach, so there is plenty of space for safe outdoor playtime and walks. I always prioritize safety, supervision, and making pets feel comfortable.
About: On walks, I’ve been known to smile at dogs yet frown at the owners. Not really, but it’s true that seeing pets on walks is my motivation for doing them in the first place. I only have one little pupper (Bella) who is 14 years old! Although she has the energy of a toddler, the way she follows me into any room any time I’m in the house is something I’ll miss when she’s gone. We take walks daily, and I’m careful not to over feed her or harm her in any way. Even though this is my first app, I think the foundation of trust and looking for any signs the lore is showing (as well as my clear communication with pet and owner)

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and grew up in a household with five dogs and three cats, so caring for pets has always been a part of my daily routine. Over the years, I’ve become the go-to person for friends and family whenever they need someone reliable to watch their pets while they’re away. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that’s taking dogs on walks, playing with them, or giving cats the attention and affection they deserve. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I strive to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own. I currently serve in the military, which has helped me develop strong responsibility, reliability, and attention to detail. While I work during the day, I have the flexibility to stop by during lunch breaks and am available before and after work for visits, walks, feedings, and quality time with your pets. My schedule is generally very open outside of work hours, and I do my best to accommodate each pet owner’s needs. You can count on me to be dependable, communicative, and committed to making sure your pets are well cared for while you’re away Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my goal is always to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and making sure they get plenty of attention and exercise. My apartment complex has plenty of walking areas and open space, making it a great environment for dogs who enjoy getting outside and exploring. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to stick to their normal routine so they feel relaxed and secure while their owner is away. Every pet is different, and I’m happy to adapt to their individual needs, energy levels, and personalities.
“Ma'Liyah was a lifesaver! I had a sticky situation with a short notice need for dog boarding. Also, my dog is not nice to other dogs, and requires isolation from other dogs. Ma'Liyah was quick to respond, and understood all of Koda's needs. I got plenty of pictures along the way, and was so grateful to her for taking care of my pup! If I need boarding again, I'd definitely contact her!”
“My dog stayed at Sharon’s for 5 days, and she was SO accommodating and was even able to pick him up and drop him off because of my flight times!! She also sent a ton of pictures of our dogs playing together and Roo looked so happy. She is also my go to dog walker, I will always choose Sharon if she’s available and definitely recommend her!”
“Danielle did an excellent job with Missy. She stayed in contact with me and answered every text that I sent her about Missy. She sent photos of Missy daily, .the photos helped me to be able to see with my own eyes that Missy was being well cared for. When I came for Missy she was clean, happy and I saw no signs of neglect. Thank you Danielle for your hard work and dedication.”
“2nd time using Elizabeth and I can stop saying how lovely of a person she is. My partner and I were out of state for the weekend and we were not getting back until later than expected. Elizabeth understood and was able to take Ginny over night again and allowed us to pick her up the next morning before work. It was such a blessing and ease for our travels to not rush home late at night with and added stressor. We love Elizabeth and Ginny loves her too. Elizabeth is kind to sent updates as well to put you at ease. 💕🫶🏼💕”
