“Bethany was reliable and a great communicator. Even though our cat was a little shy she put in the time with her and tried different approaches to engage her and make her feel comfortable. Will book her again. :)”
“Jenny was a FANTASTIC sitter for our two cats! She sent detailed updates with multiple photos most days we were gone. She worked with our boys’ quirks and earned the love of them both, even our grumpy old guy. We definitely recommend Jenny to anyone!”

“Best cat sitter ever. Went above and beyond by keeping our two cats active with toys, happy with cuddles and even took professional quality photos of our fur babies quite worthy of a frame (and this is coming from a photographer). Seriously, Anna is an overachiever!”

“My cat, Olive can be a little rough with new people but Ashley handled her with care and administered her oral antibiotic beautifully. She communicated well before the visit and provided me with updates. Olive even rolled over for her which is pretty much the biggest compliment she can give. It’s clear to me that Ashley really loves and cares for animals. Ashley also took the care to bring in a package and left a light on for Olive which was very much appreciated. I will be hiring Ashley again very soon!”

“Vanesa is amazing!! My cat Penny warmed up to her so fast. She was great with communicating with me everyday with pictures and videos to make sure my cat was safe the entire time. Extremely friendly and even left us a cat treat at the end of the drop ins. Would 1000% recommend Vanesa to anyone looking for care.”

“Liz is very communicative and is super sweet. She did drop-ins for my cat over the holidays and I got the best updates, pictures and videos. You could tell they hit it off and Liz showed Mischa lots of love in my absence!!! SO grateful!!!”

“Yoo Jew was lovely. She was timely with the visits and kept the house neat (food and litter box). My girls seemed very content when I returned. I’ll happily hire her for my next trip.”

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong love and understanding of dogs of all ages. I cared for my senior chihuahua for 15 years, giving me hands-on experience with older dogs who need patience and gentle care. I’m now a dog mom to another senior pup and a foster mom to a young pit-lab mix, so I’m comfortable with every personality from calm companions to high energy pups. You can count on me for reliable, loving care and lots of attention to detail. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine because I have a very flexible schedule. I make sure to plan my days around the pets I care for so they always get the time and attention they deserve. I care for pets in their own home where they feel safest and most comfortable. I always take things at the pet’s pace earning their trust through calm, gentle interactions. I respect both the pet’s boundaries and the owner’s rules to make sure everyone feels comfortable and cared for.
“Mikayla was so great! She was detailed in her reviews and really worked hard to get our shy cat to play. We felt comfortable traveling because we knew Mikayla was taking care of our three pets. Thank you, Mikayla!”

As a student, I appreciate the flexibility this role offers, enabling me to provide attentive, reliable care while managing my schedule. This combination of flexibility and purpose makes pet sitting an ideal part of my daily life. When caring for pets, I prioritize their well-being and happiness.

My schedule is wide open, and I’m home throughout the week, so your pup will get plenty of love and attention. Pet care is a natural part of my day—I enjoy being present, going on gentle walks, and keeping a calm, comforting environment for every furry friend who visits. I provide a calm, safe environment that’s especially great for senior or special-needs pups. I’m gentle, patient, and very mindful of each dog’s comfort level. My own dog, Bella, is a quiet 13-year-old who keeps to herself, so your pet will still get all the attention they need without feeling overwhelmed. I’m happy to follow any instructions, use a stroller or sling if needed, and make sure your fur baby feels cared for and secure.
