“Having Magan check in on Dot gave me such peace of mind. I didn't have to worry about my cat while I was away and the pictures she sent on her visits showed that my cat was just fine. She took the time to love on Dot which I know she loved! Magan showed up at the times requested and promptly delivered feedback after each visit. I will definitely book with Magan again!”
“Katelyn was so sweet and helped me feel at ease after my previous caretaker made me skeptical and worried. She gave feedback daily and pictures. I will definitely use her again.”
“Jessica is a GREAT sitter. She takes wonderful photos and is really good at taking care of my two cats. I've had her sit for me multiple times and I've never been disappointed. I would recommend her to any pet owner who needs a sitter.”
“Summer did a great job with my pets. I couldn’t thank her more for always updating me with photos and how their day went. I WOULD highly recommend Summer and i will definitely be using her again.”
“Susanna is first rate! She is flexible and understanding when there is a schedule change. She is so awesome with my pup and I could not ask for better care. She sends photos and updates and that is appreciated. I know my best friend is in great hands and I don't have to worry.”
“At the very last minute I asked and Heidi responded with a "yes" to check on my dog while I attended a funeral. I was so grateful. She sent me photos and let me know how things were going. I would love to have her check on Layla again. I highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets my entire life, starting with my childhood responsibility of feeding and cleaning up after our family cats. Since then, I’ve raised and trained multiple dogs, including tiny puppies and a 9-month-old stray who thrived with additional training. I worked at a kennel where I cared for both cats and dogs, gaining valuable experience with animals of all temperaments. Today, I’m a proud pet parent to a rescue dog and four cats, ensuring they’re safe, happy, and loved. I’d love to give the same care and attention to your furry family members! I have a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide attentive and timely care for your pets. Whether it’s daily visits, walks, or check-ins, I’m happy to customize both the care routine and pricing based on what works best for you and your furry family members. I’m committed to ensuring your pets receive the love and care they deserve while fitting seamlessly into their routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their routine to ensure they feel safe and comfortable. This includes feeding them on schedule, providing fresh water, cleaning up after them (litter boxes, potty breaks, etc.), and ensuring they get plenty of love and attention. For dogs, I offer walks, playtime, and any training reinforcement the owner requests. For cats, I respect their space while ensuring they feel cared for, with cuddles or playtime as needed. I also make sure to communicate with owners regularly to keep them updated on their pets’ well-being.
About: I've fostered dogs of various breeds and sizes, providing them with a safe, loving environment and daily care. My personal experience as a dog owner, along with my fostering background, has equipped me to handle everything from playful puppies to senior dogs. As a college student with a flexible class schedule, I have plenty of time and energy to dedicate to pet care. Whether it's daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays, I’m able to fit pet care into my routine with ease. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so it never feels like a chore; it’s a highlight of my day! When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize their comfort by sticking closely to their usual routines such as feeding, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I’m respectful of your space and always aim to leave your home just as I found it. On walks, I keep safety first by using secure leashes, avoiding hazards, and paying close attention to your pet’s behavior and surroundings. I always treat each pet as if they were my own, with patience, love, and lots of care, so you can feel confident they’re in good hands.
“Justine and Roman are fantastic. My pup was a little challenge because she plopped down and refused to walk, which she did to my brother-in-law the day before. (I guess she’s only used to going on walks with me). So I let Justine know I didn’t mind if they just played in my yard. She was able to coax my puppy back and sent me pics and video.”
“We hired Ali to take care of our four legged son, our standard Poodle Leo. She responded promptly when we reached out to her. The minute she met Leo, he fell in love with her. She has a kind and tender demeanor with dogs. Ali is very nice to talk and easy going. She is responsible and flexible, trying to accommodate the needs of her customers. Every day she came to our house, she provided us with a detailed report of Leo’s activities along with a cute photo. We appreciate that. Ali was always on time. We felt so at peace during our weekend get away knowing that Leo was being taken care by someone caring and responsible. Ali met all of our expectations. We will hire her again and we definitely recommend her to anyone needing pet sitting services.”
“Joslyn took care of our 2 senior cats for 2 weeks with daily drop-in visits. She was outstanding. Joslyn is very diligent and caring. I would recommend her to everyone and I will not hesitate to rebook the next time I travel.”
“She was amazing with my cat while I was away! I got photo updates and could tell Ben felt comfortable and cared for. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. Definitely recommend and will be booking again!”
About: I’ve grown up with many dogs in the house and have my own now! I love to meet new pets and get to know their personalities. I work from home at my own pace so I have lots of time for play time and cuddles! I live right next to a park as well! I have a fenced in yard and much time to care for them to make sure they are entertained. My own dog is a high energy breed, so I can care for all types of energies. If need be, my home has space to keep them separate.
