“Courtney was absolutely wonderful with Tofu! I felt so comfortable being away from my cat because I knew she would be cared for. Courtney also provided frequent updates and pictures, which I really appreciated. <3”


“I’ve booked with Kathleen multiple times to care for my two cats, and I’m so happy to have found someone I can trust with my fur babies! Anyone with cats knows they all have their own little personalities and quirks, and it means so much to me to know they’re being cared for with patience and love. I know my kitties are in good hands while I’m away. Having someone reliable who takes the time to care for them and make sure they’re happy and comfortable gives me such peace of mind. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful, trustworthy cat sitter!”

“Lindsey was purely amazing. Her communication, photos, details, updates… the whole thing was perfect. As someone who had never done this before, I would hire Lindsey every single time to watch my babies! You’re awesome Lindsey! Thank you!!”


About: I have a long long history with dogs. I have had pitbulls all my life and I will forever hold a place for them in my heart! I love all dogs truly. I am open to cats if they are friendly 😅! I do work a 9am-4pm work shift and don’t get home usually until 4:45pm. I am open to drop ins and anything else that helps your travel time truly! I can do frequent walks as soon as I wake up, before I leave for work and any time after I am home from work. Weekends I am usually freed up with a lot of time so I don’t mind walks or anything needed for your pet☺️. I live in an apartment so frequent walks is something i’m completely okay with. I would say if you have pets that don’t work well with prolonged times not using the bathroom I wouldn’t be a great fit just do to my day to day work schedule. Weekends are completely free! I’m comfortable giving medicine on a schedule, long walks or baths or anything your pet may need so you can be worry free! I do have a son that has been around big and small dogs and i’m comfortable training or correcting if needed! Just know any dog or cat is in great hands with me☺️❤️!
“Sam has been a lovely dog sitter for our puppy. She’s watched our Bernedoodle, Kirkland, since he was a few months old, and we trust her with him more than almost anyone. This summer Kirkland had some GI issues, and our feeding instructions changed more than once, sometimes on short notice. Sam just rolled with it every time, no confusion, no complaints. She’s always on time, sends updates without us asking, and has even helped reinforce his training instead of just walking him and calling it a day. When he’s had accidents, she’s cleaned it up without a second thought. She really cares for our dog and she genuinely knows his personality. Anyone who books her is getting someone who treats your dog like her own. We recommend her to everyone we know with a pet.”

“Mason has been phenomenal! Took adorable photos of my cat and kept me updated daily! Vacations can be stressful worrying about who is caring for the pets but Mason eased my nerves and I knew my cat was in good hands!”

About: I’m a lifelong pet owner and true animal lover with hands on care experience. I’m calm, reliable, and confident.I also have experience administering medications, so you can relax knowing your pet is in safe, loving hands. Im currently working a part-time job, so I have plenty of extra time for your babies! I don’t mind early mornings or late nights. I prioritize safety, trust, and respect while visiting or staying in your home. I follow your pet’s routine closely to keep them comfortable in their own environment.
About: I have owned dogs and cats and love them like children. I love to play and cuddle with them. I am good at spoiling them and also make sure they get their routine checkups. Also have had their teeth cleaned and use flea prevention. I have taken care of multiple dogs and cats over the years on and off. I love to walk, the more the better. I also donate to rescue agencies to help them care for those in need. I am self employed so my hours vary and are fairly flexible. I don't ever work long hours so I am always available up to a few times a day or could possibly do overnight stays. I have 2 cats at home so it's best if I take care of yours in your home..It's still possible I could take them in mine if introduced and they get along. I follow directions well and give a lot of attention..

“Rileigh was amazing with my cat, Birdie! I was able to actually relax and enjoy my vacation knowing he was being so well taken care of and was happy at home. Getting updates and photos throughout the weekend made my heart so full and gave me so much peace of mind. I’m so grateful for how well she cared for him and would absolutely trust her with Birdie again! 🥹❤️”

About: I have pet sit for my neighbor’s cats multiple times. I have walked my other neighbor’s dog. I volunteered at Premier Pet Supply in middle school. I have owned fish, hamsters, and lizards, but have always wanted a dog or cat. I am a runner and am very active outside, so I will make sure your dog is well in shape. I am currently cleaning houses part time, but I have full availability on most weekends (Friday through Sunday) and weekdays after 4pm. Some days I can work sooner it just depends on my schedule. I keep on eye on my pets and all times to make sure they stay out of trouble while making sure they have the freedom to play and be themselves.
“Sarah was amazing, did everything I asked and more. Asked questions I didn't even think of. She texted while at the house. Cause I asked her too and sent me pictures. I will definitely use her again and want her to move in”
About: Hi my name is Danielle and I would love to watch your furry friend for you while you are at work, school, etc. I'm a dog groomer, I've worked at an animal hospital, PetSmart , activity centers as a midnight animal caretaker and I've had experiences dealing with special needs dogs and seniors, I know warning signs of seizures and I'm very alert. I've been surrounded by dogs all my life and i love them so much, I find being around dogs to be very therapeutic for me and it helps them as well. I'm also into professional photography so get ready for a lot of pics of your pets. I'm not quite ready to stop doing services for my furry friends . I look forward to meeting you and your pal:) Rover is my main priority right now, so I have open availability to care for your fur babies. I usually need a heads-up for booking purposes, but message me, and maybe we can make arrangements for a visit sooner. I'm always on high alert when it comes to watching your furry friends, especially when it comes to dog-aggressive pets when we're outside. I also believe safety is super important to me.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy. Right now I have four cats, two dogs, and two rabbits, so I’m used to taking care of multiple pets with different needs and personalities. One of my dogs is very old and has become blind and deaf, which has taught me a lot about patience, paying attention to details, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable. Caring for him has given me experience working with animals that need a little extra support and attention. I also volunteered at a horse rescue and rehabilitation facility for a year, where I helped with feeding, grooming, cleaning stalls, and caring for horses. Working with horses taught me how to safely handle large animals, stay calm under pressure, and understand animal behavior. It gave me a lot of confidence and responsibility that I still use when caring for pets today. Besides my own animals, I’ve helped care for pets belonging to family, friends, and neighbors over the years. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, litter box cleaning, basic medications, playtime, and making sure pets get plenty of attention while their owners are away. I’m a 19-year-old college student currently on summer break and working part-time, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets because I feel the same way about my own. My goal is always to make pets feel happy, comfortable, and loved while giving their owners peace of mind. ❤️ As a college student on summer break, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability outside of my part-time job. This allows me to dedicate time and attention to each pet’s needs, whether that means drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, or simply providing companionship. I’m reliable, organized, and committed to making sure pets receive consistent, quality care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines as closely as possible to help their pets feel comfortable and secure. I provide fresh food and water, clean up after pets, ensure they get plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention, and carefully follow any special instructions. I also treat each home with respect and keep pet owners updated so they can have peace of mind while they’re away.
“Jordyn took great care of our cats! She is super sweet and dependable. She went above and beyond during her stay with us- even during a three day power outage in the middle of summer.”

“Madeline was absolutely wonderful! She did daily drop in visits and took amazing care of my cat while I was away. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly genuinely cared about my cat’s well being. I loved getting updates and knowing my cat was in such good hands. It gave me total peace of mind while I was gone. I came home to a happy, well cared for cat, which says everything. I would 100% recommend Madeline to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!!! :-)”

“Venus was so easy to work with and easy going, I needed a cat sitter at the (very) last minute and she still took the job which I appreciate SO much. I would recommend her in a heartbeat!”


“Maria did an awesome job taking care of my 2 cats while I was out of town. She is professional, courteous, and caring. My cats are feral cats that I took in a year ago. They are scared of people and run from anyone but me. By the time I came back from my trip, Maria was playing with them and giving them massages. I would have never guessed this was possible. In addition, I felt comforted with the daily updates and pictures she sent. I highly recommend using Maria if you are looking for a caring person that you can trust with your pets and will definitely be using her again in the future.”
