“Rhiannon watched our cats during our Christmas vacation and we knew they were in great hands. She was very sweet with them, and we were so grateful to have her as our sitter. We definitely recommend Rhiannon, and will go to her first if we need pet sitting services in the future. Thanks again Rhiannon! -Aaron and Emily”
“Leslie was so wonderful to my babies. I cannot praise her enough! She helped me when I was in a bind which will not be forgotten. She took pictures of her playing with them with frequent updates, as well. She is definitely worth 5 stars. If there was 6 stars, she would get them!”

“Gabriella was fantastic. She was prompt with her updates and always updated me if life happened and she was going to be a bit late. It was so obvious that she genuinely care for my animals and enjoyed her time with them. I was hesitant to leave my kittens let alone have someone I don’t know check on them without me there but Gabriella quickly melted those worries. She was always quick to respond to me and I don’t plan to look for anyone else in the future. Highly recommend requesting Gabriella for any of your pet needs!”
About: I have had dogs for the last 10 years. Big and small I love to play and make sure all their needs are accommodated so they are happy tail waggers at the end of the day. I work full time however have plenty of time in the after noon to be able to care for your pets after 630pm. I also am free on Tuesdays and Sundays and Saturdays before 2 and after 630pm. I have a fenced yard giving your pet the room to run in and I can also easily crate your dog if needed. I do have a fur baby myself who loves to meet new friends so they can be buds.

“I was so hesitant about having someone I didn’t know come into my home and care for my pups, but I’m extremely glad I booked Taylor. She did a meet and greet with us, which made me feel more more at ease. She was flexible with my changing schedule and communicated well. I have already rebooked her for another need and will continue to do so.”

I love how she remembers to keep important information, such as vet records and emergency contacts, updated! It makes us feel much safer knowing our babies are in good hands! Thank you, Lillie!”
About: I have worked and volunteered at an animal shelter and provided care and enrichment for all ages of dogs from babies to seniors. I have loved every dog I've ever met even the ones who have bitten me or are misunderstood. I have seen dogs grow up and I have seen dogs pass away. I have been the reason dogs have been adopted and given a second chance. I have even taken dogs off the streets and foster-failed (adopted) dogs who were in shelters. I have never loved something more and have only ever wanted to work with dogs. I truly can't think of anything I would rather do then be with a dog. I promise to love your dog as if it was mine. I will be going to school starting Monday 08/18/24 and could do mornings from 7:30-8:30 and anytime after 2pm. Please text me for more details. I would prefer to only walk dogs and visit at owners home. I could not board them as I only live in an apartment that has restrictions.

And I willl set up a meet and greet and then we will go from there! I always make sure everyone's fur babies are well cared for!

“Vanessa visited with my girls while I was away, and took the best care of them. They were instantly comfortable with her and Vanessa took care in giving them the attention and play time they need before their dinner, keeping them happy during a lonely time :) thank you Vanessa!”
About: With 30+ years caring for my own pets and 15 years sitting for friends, I bring gentle, attentive care to cats and dogs alike. Belly rubs, cuddles, and kindness are always included. I prioritize comfort, routine, and emotional well-being—especially for shy, or sensitive pets. I’m currently in a relocation phase and not working full-time, so my schedule is wide open for pet care. I love spending time with animals—whether it’s drop-in cuddles, playtime, or checking in on their routines. I treat each visit like a little ritual of comfort and joy, tailored to their unique needs. I offer drop-in care only and do not host pets in my home. During visits, I create a calm, nurturing environment tailored to your pet’s routine and emotional needs. I focus on gentle engagement—playtime, cuddles, and reassurance—while also keeping an eye on food, water, litter, and any medications or requests. Each visit is customized with loving attention to detail.
“Erin was so communicative, and clearly so full of love for critters! I would absolutely recommend her if you’re looking for confidence in knowing your furry loved ones will be cared for like they are her own.”
About: “I provide personalized care tailored to each pet’s unique needs, including puppy training, senior pet care, and offering comfort and companionship that feels like home.” “Pet care is a priority in my routine, ensuring every pet gets dedicated time for feeding, play, walks, and affection, while maintaining a consistent schedule that aligns with their needs.” “In my home, I create a safe, welcoming environment with plenty of space for play, rest, and comfort. In clients’ homes, I follow their routines closely, ensuring pets feel secure and loved while maintaining their familiar surroundings.”
About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind off and on since I was 13. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk and feed their pets. A pet fits into my weekly/daily routine because I’m in school full time but my classes are very flexible. I have a lot of free time to be able to check on pets/take care of them. I care for a clients pet in their home by having a calming presence and bonding with their pet, having affection for animals, and concern for their welfare.
