“We are so grateful to find Pat!!! She let our 3 dogs move in with her for 6 days. Our dogs were so well taken care of. They loved Pat and Lexi. Pat treated our dogs as her own. She kept us updated with daily pictures and messages. We will be using Pat again. Thank you Pat for everything.”

“Danielle was easy to work with and set our minds at ease about leaving our newly adopted, very high energy, 7 month old puppy. Our original sitter plans fell through 2 weeks before our trip and we had never used Rover before, so we were a little nervous. Danielle allowed us to come over to her house to do a Meet and Greet before our trip and upon meeting her and her kids, we knew Bodhi would be in good hands. Bodhi took quickly to Danielle's son and we loved getting texts while we were on our trip about how he and Bodhi were cuddling on the couch watching a movie or that they were outside running around the backyard. We are so greatful for Danielle and her kids for welcoming Bodhi into their home and family for the week while we were away for a conference and would totally trust to leave Bodhi in their care again! Thank you Danielle!”
“I was super nervous about leaving my puppy Simba for the first time. Zachary and his family took great care of him. I love that the backyard is fenced in and the dogs are able to run and play. When I picked my puppy up, he wasvery relaxed and calm and you can tell he had a good time I will definitely book with Zachary and his family for all of my future dog sitting needs.”
“Heather was fantastic. She sent me multiple updates through the day and her communication was great. I was so glad to have her watching my dog while I was out of town.”

“Catherine took great care of Capri, took her on walks, visited the dog park and kept her busy. She sent daily pictures and updates. I highly recommend and will use this sitter again.”
“Kristen was amazing with our Koko. She was always updating us on her day. She liked being there so much that she did not have her usual excitement upon seeing us. I'm so glad we found her and we will definitely be using her when we need to be away. She also got along really well with Kristen's fur babies.”
“Skye had a great weekend with Gail. It was her first time staying at a strangers house and Gail did a great job welcoming her. Gail was patient with her as it takes Skye a little while to warm up. Gail sent us pictures each day and was quick to respond when we had a question. We will definitely use her again in the future for Skye.”
“My senior pup just got home from a wonderful weekend with Patti! He had the best care and we received regular updates and photos. My dog has vision issues among other senior ailments and needs medication at meals. Patti was so patient and helped him navigate the new space, always making sure he was safe. We felt so comfortable with Igor in Patti’s care and look forward to him visiting her again!”

“Rebekah was fantastic with my kitty Nyla. She is way more experienced than I am with cats, so it was awesome. She came to check on her 2-3 times per day, played with her, fed her & even turned on Cat TV for her. I got lots of notes each visit & pictures. I will for sure be using her in the future:)”

“I moved and had to find a new Nanny for my 2 Sphynx girls. I use a Nanny 12-16 days a month. I thought it would be hard to find a replacement for my previous Nanny bc They are very affectionate and personable and need someone who will be the same. I am so happy I found Michelle!! They all adore each other and my needy girl gets what she needs.”
“This girl is absolutely awesome. Highly recommend her. Very engaged, flexible schedule. My Sphynx warmed up to her immediately. They are social and needed interaction. Pariss delivered. Will rebook.”
“Dave was fantastic! He was quick to respond from my initial inquiry. The meet and greet was a success as I could tell my pup loved him right away. Dave was communicative, on time, and followed all instructions. He was tidy and respectful of my home. I felt so at ease knowing my puppy was in good hands and having fun and the photos showing how happy Corbin was were the highlight of my day. Thank you Dave for being so wonderful and taking such great care of Corbin. I know he'll miss you. Hope to book with you again and will absolutely suggest you to friends and family!”
About: I’ve owned cats for majority of my life and have watched them since I was in high school. I understand that every cat has a unique personality and respect their boundaries. I specialize in stress-free drop-in visits, keeping fresh water, clean litter boxes, and engaging play sessions. Always willing for a last minute drop in so feel free to reach out!
About: Cats are still seemingly new to me, since they are so different from dogs. I lived with my best friend and her cat, Ginger for two years. We got along well, especially when I was the one feeding her dinner when I got home from work. I even was even able to start interpreting her different meows. Even, though cats are still an enigma to me. I would treasure the opportunity to help you with yours.
“Zoey was wonderful, both my cats warmed right up to her even my shy boy! She was super communicative and did a great job with my cats I will definitely rebook with her and would absolutely recommend her as a sitter!”

About: I have always had pets of all kinds growing up along with much love for all wildlife. Currently I have 4 cats, 2 dogs, 3 fish and many snails, and a lot of plants! My dog growing up became diabetic (also blind) and I provided him supportive care for the remaining 5 years he had (including special meals and insulin shots)! I have rescued several cats and found loving homes after getting them medical care (I always keep in touch). One of my cats was a bottle baby after finding her on the side of the road at only 3 weeks old, she is now almost 2. I also provided supportive care for my two eldest cats (11years) after their major surgeries (perineal urethrostomy and gallbladder removal). I am also in the process of obtaining my wildlife rehabilitation permit for I always seem to be brought animals to care for and I would like to do more for them than just transporting to a rehabilitator! I have a lot of room at my house which includes the finished basement area with separate rooms, a mudroom, a large fenced in backyard, and kennels if needed. I'm willing to travel to you, or care for your animals here! All my animals are friendly (successfully introduced and integrated) but if yours needs some privacy I can absolutely provide it. I'm here to help, I hope it's clear how important your fur babies would be to me! I would love to make whatever it is you need happen. I am currently a stay at home mom with my own fur babies. My day starts at 6AM when I wake up to feed and walk the dogs and check to see if the cats need anything. I would be more than happy to care for your animal(s) here or get out of the house and care for them in their home! I have a large fenced in yard, a finished basement with separate rooms, a separate mudroom, and kennels if needed! My 4 cats and 2 dogs roam the house and would love to make new friends, but if your animals are shy, we have plenty of space to accommodate. All I ask is for a clear set of instructions if caring for your pet in your home and you can expect those instructions to be carried out with love and respect for your animal(s) and property. I am also insured for pet care/housesitting through PCI.
“Holly was able to accommodate my very last minute booking request and I am so thankful! She took Lucy for a few walks throughout the day and I could tell that Lucy was well taken care of. Thank you again, I really appreciate it!!”
