“Ingrid spent a lot of time interacting with my four dogs at every visit. She made sure they had plenty of outside playtime. One was a newly rescued stray that although lovable was quite a handful. She was completely unfazed. The dogs finished every visit with her happy and relaxed. She took care of the cats also and even my shy kitty warmed up to her. I will definitely use Ingrid again for our next trip.”
“Megan responded quickly after a previous sitter cancelled after I was already on vacation. She spent multiple hours playing with my cats over many visits making sure they were being loved on and even brought in packages. She took a ton of pictures for me and assured me Henry and Kip were doing great! I will definitely be using her again!!!”
About: I’ve cared for cats both at home and in a clinical setting, gaining hands-on experience with feeding, grooming, and maintaining clean, safe environments. I’m comfortable administering medications when needed and monitoring health indicators like temperature or behavior changes. I have a genuine love for cats and take extra care with things like deep-cleaning litter boxes and keeping their spaces comfortable and stress-free. What sets me apart is my combination of personal experience, veterinary practicum training, and passion for providing individualized care—making sure each cat feels safe, happy, and loved while their owner is away.
About: As a child, my step mom rescued cats from the shelter. I had many years of experience caring and playing with cats. We now have a sweet mama cat with kittens that we are loving. Our mama cat has adopted two kittens that another mom couldn't care for. It has honestly been a magical experience! My daughter, 17, and I can bring this level of care and affection to your sweet kitty cats!
“Nana O. Did a great job checking in on our sweet Sadie while we were out of town! It made our travels super peaceful knowing we could depend on her to check in while we were gone! Highly recommend her and will book with her on future occasions!”
About: Hello! I’m Desiree. I'm 21 years old. I have one dog named Athena. I love animals, and I am a certified vet assistant. I would love to keep your animals company and take them on walks or to the park! I’m currently enrolled in online college, so I have plenty of time in the morning and evening to take care of your babies. I can work with you to find the best possible schedule for you and your animals I have a puppy who is highly anxious and can be slightly reactive. I have learned about pets' behavior and how to ensure an animal is relaxed and happy. I will ensure your animal is well cared for to your standards and routine.
“Penelope was absolutely incredible! Our situation is a bit unique since we have donkeys, goats, and horses in addition to our cats, but she handled everything with so much care and attention. I can be very particular about how my animals are cared for, and Penelope followed every detail perfectly. While we were gone for two weeks, she kept me at ease with frequent updates and photos, which I truly appreciated. On top of taking such great care of the animals, she was respectful of our home, kept everything clean, and even did her own laundry before leaving. It gave us such peace of mind knowing everything was in her hands. I honestly couldn’t imagine a better person for the job, and we will absolutely be using her services again in the future. Thank you, Penelope, for everything—you’re a gem!”
About: I've been around cats everyday for about 1 decade. I enjoy their versatile personalities and especially enjoy caring for young kittens. I have experience bottlefeeding kittens and have had 8 in my care. I currently have 1 cat, Artemis, who is very affectionate. She gets along well with my dog and new cats/dogs.

About: I have been around dogs my entire life. From Dachshunds to Great Danes and every stray in between, I've owned fostered and adopted over 30 dogs of all sizes and different levels of need. My services include daily dog walks, hikes or runs for our high-energy clients (your preference), basic grooming (bathing and nail trimming) and obedience training. I understand your dogs aren't pets - they're people/ family and I'll treat them as such. "A dog will teach you unconditional love. If you can have that in your life, things won't be too bad." - Robert Wagner "I work hard everyday so that my dog can have a better life." - Unknown "My Dog Does this thing where she just exist and makes my life better" -Unknown
About: My family has always had pets. Growing up, we had dogs of every kind and size. As an adult, we have had several pets, but currently have one husky named Luna and one cat named Darcy Binks! They are well loved. Let us bring our care and affection to your sweet pets! I'm a homemaker mom of six babies, one dog, one cat, and 8 kittens. My kiddos will all be in school and out of the house, so, I'm wide open on scheduling. We have a fenced in yard and a quiet neighborhood with sidewalks for easy walking. We can play with your pets after feeding and watering. After the last visit of the day, we will clean and dispose of any droppings in the yard, so you can come home to a clean start!

About: I have 4 dogs and two cats of my own. I work night shift and my wife works day shift we always have someone at home. I also speak Spanish.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and currently own a miniature schnauzer, so I understand the daily care, attention, and love they need. I also have experience pet sitting for others, caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding routines, playtime, and making sure your dog feels safe and happy while you’re away. I’m currently attending school online, which allows me to be home full-time and provide consistent care and attention for your pets. Because of this, I have very open and flexible availability throughout the week, including weekdays, weekends, and holidays. Your pet will never be left alone and will receive complete supervision, playtime, and care during their stay. I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for every pet in my care. In my home, I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can play and get exercise, as well as a friendly, well-socialized dog who enjoys having company. I always supervise interactions to make sure everyone stays safe and happy. I stick closely to each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, and playtime. If your dog is crate-trained or you prefer they be crated at certain times, I’m more than happy to accommodate that. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow all instructions carefully to keep your pet comfortable in their familiar environment. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care so both you and your pet feel completely at ease.

Rebecca always answers very fast and is very attentive. Finally she always provides us feedback about Sussies day. Absolutely Recommend Rebecca and we look forward for her taking care of our pup.”

“Sarah was awesome! She sent us regular updates and videos of our dogs. Both of our pets are energetic, which usually makes me worry about other people taking care of them, but Sarah assured me that they did well”
“Melinda is wonderful, kind, caring and flexible. We feel so safe leaving our dog Dale with her and her family, and he loves being there. We will continue to visit Melinda in the future!”

About: My experience has never stopped me from striving to be the best I can be. I’ve had animals in my home for over 15 years, cherishing every moment of it. I'm a stay at home house wife..and caring for your pets is no inconvenience for me.. your pets are very important to me and that they are properly taken care of.. My dog Pinky is never out of sight and my cats are indoor. I will never let out my cats because to many bugs outside..
“Lillian is the BEST! We have used her many times for boarding and dog walking and she provides 10 out of 10 service. Ollie loves her and is super excited when he gets to see her. She also is great at accommodating late bookings. You will love her! Thank you Lillian”
About: I’ve grown up around pets my entire life, dogs, cats, birds, turtles, etc! I’m a huge believer that they’re like family! I had a dog of my own for most of my life that was blind and diabetic, so I’m familiar with taking care of dogs of old age and medical care. I currently work as a flight attendant as well so my schedule varies week to week! I typically have spans on days on/off that make it easy for me to take care of your pets for several days! I live in an apartment that has sidewalks and grass all around, it’s a pet friendly complex:) I have no other pets or children that affect the environment. I’m also nearby a jogging trail that I love to take pets on for walks!
About: What sets me apart is my six years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, combined with formal animal hospital training. My passion began when I got my first puppy, whom I personally trained in potty training and basic commands such as sit, spin, and catch. Over time, I also gained experience managing multiple dogs in a household, learning how to balance different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I’m available Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 12:00 PM to 10:00 PM, and all day on Saturday and Sunday. During these times, I can provide walks, playtime, feeding, grooming, medication administration, and general companionship. I plan my day to prioritize pets’ needs, ensuring they get consistent care, attention, and a safe, comfortable environment while their owners are away. I currently provide pet care exclusively at my clients' homes because I already have pets at my own residence, and I'm not permitted to bring in more. While at my clients' homes, I tailor my care for their dogs based on their specific preferences. Regular updates on their pets are a priority for me, and I always communicate promptly with clients if I have any questions regarding their pets.
