“Kara cared for my cats for a few days and we came back to the cats healthy and happy. The scooper even broke on her and she went to the store and bought another one for us. Thanks for your excellent care!”

“Lindsay was wonderful with Kermit! She went out of her way to make our cat feel safe, even setting up a covered box she could hide in. She sent us pictures and updates every night and was prompt at communication. She is a very sweet woman and we would absolutely book her again.”

“Brittney did drop in visits for our cats while we were on an extended vacation. We met prior to leaving, and I knew we knew we were leaving our kitties to a wonderful sitter! Brittney went above and beyond to care for our shy cats, and was so helpful while we were away. We will definitely be working with her again in the future!”
“Bonnie has been amazing! Our pets love her and she always goes above and beyond. We highly recommend Bonnie for watching over your furry friends. She’s the best!”
“This was our 2nd time having Zoe come over to watch over our cat Luna while we were away. She is great at communicating, very accommodating and kind and took great care of both Luna our cat and Bruno our chinchilla while we were away. We enjoyed the cute photo updates and it made us feel a little closer to our pets while we were away. She also did a good job of making sure the house was secure each time she came over. Thanks Zoe!”
“Jo came to my rescue when last sitter needed to cancel for unforeseeable event. She agreed to a late meet and greet before the starting day. She was so patient with me explaining care detail of a new puppy. She stays longer every time, even helps me train my puppy. There is always very detailed feedback after each session, also gave me a in person evaluation session after a week of caring for my new puppy. I highly recommend Jo to pet parents with busy schedule or need help with your furry baby.”
About: I’ve grown up with and spent many years living with pets of all kinds! I love animals and have done many overnight sits, walks and feedings for the pets of friends and family. I work part time and have an extremely flexible schedule. I do not have any children and I do have my own vehicle so it’s easy for me to schedule pet care on almost any day. I can feed, water, walk, crate and care for your animals based around whatever your normal day-to-day care system would be. I’m very adaptable and believe in keeping your pet’s normal schedule as much as possible.
“Very easy to work with, she was patient with me even though I was disorganized and had to have the property manager come unlock my door for her. I’d highly recommend Serenity!”
About: I’ve grown up around pets and have experience caring for dogs and a bunny. While I don’t currently have pets of my own, I frequently help care for my sister’s dog, including walks, feeding, playtime, and keeping her comfortable and happy. I’m calm, reliable, and attentive to routines, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, and I’m dependable with scheduling and timing. I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and sitting with flexibility in the mornings, evenings, and on weekends. I’m happy to accommodate recurring bookings or last-minute requests when possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all care instructions and routines, keep dogs securely leashed on walks, and stay attentive to their behavior and surroundings at all times. I respect your home, keep things clean and organized, and provide updates and photos so you feel confident your pet is in good hands.
“Olivia is a very sweet person I was lucky enough to have take care of my precious cat Luna. She made sure she was well aware of her needs and went beyond her responsibilities by trying to just be a friend to Luna while I was away. I would recommend Olivia to anyone. 10 out of 10”
“Chelsea is an absolute sweetheart. She kept in contact with me and sent pictures. She answered all of my texts (and there were many, lol). My cat is not the friendliest cat, but Chelsea was able to hold her and pet her. Hands down, I would book her again.”
