“Left my very big, very shy cat alone for the first time, and was a little anxious about finding someone to check on him. Payton was the perfect person for the job! She sent regular updates, and even sent photos of the cat under the bed! I highly recommend you hire Payton to watch your furry friend - you and your pets will be glad you did!”
“Leah is so kind and understanding. From the first time meeting her, she made us feel comfortable and confident in her helping with our two very large and sometimes chaotic dogs. She listened to our concerns, their quirks, and all the information we threw at her. Finding her has been a huge relief knowing we have her to help us out when needed. She is the best!”
“Outstanding pet sitters! They went above and beyond to care for my cats—ensuring fresh food and water, clean litter, and a clean environment. They gave the beasts plenty of love, attention, and brushing. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets.”
“Erin was great at communication and updates! She was friendly and willing to follow our, very complicated, pet care instructions to the best of her ability! Dependable and reasonable rates with a ton of flexibility. I will definitely ask her to sit again for us in the future! Thank you, Erin!”
“Jamiela has been wonderful with my puppy, Enzo! She comes by midday to feed him, play with him, and give him a much-needed break while I’m at work. She’s always on time, very reliable, and keeps me updated with great communication. I know Enzo is in good hands with her, and it gives me peace of mind while I’m away. Highly recommend her!”
“So glad we found Jazmine, she is super thorough, detail oriented, easy to work with, and most importantly love cats!! She made sure to clarify & note all the instructions we had for our picky senior cat that also needs medicine and went above and beyond during her visit to make sure he eats 🥹she was also super communicative during the visit. we highly recommend her and we will book again :)”
“Jenna was great for checking in on my pup while I was at work! She took lots of photos and a video of their time at the park. It’s easy to tell she genuinely enjoys taking care of pets and spending time with them. I’ll definitely continue having her take care of my pets!”
About: I've cared for cats since I was 12 years old. I currently have 1 cat (14yo) and 2 small dogs (7yo and 6yo). I offer dog walking, drop-in potty breaks, meals, or play time. I'm currently working full-time but work from home 3 days per week and am available on weekends. I walk my own dogs each morning before work. On my remote days, they have access to our backyard until it gets too hot. Evenings typically include another walk, throwing balls in the backyard, or playing indoors. I will take care to ensure your fur-babies are comfortable on leash before leaving for a walk around the neighborhood or nearby park. I'll listen carefully to any special instructions given as well.
About: I’ve trained and cared for many dogs throughout my life, from agility training high energy puppies, to senior canine hospice. I’ve been a volunteer with the ASPCA since December of 2023 and have deployed to their cruelty recovery center in Ohio multiple times as a volunteer kennel technician. I am currently working full time from home, which gives me plenty of time to give your pet the attention and structure that they deserve. I can stay overnight with your pet, or do daily check ins starting at 6 am. Any time I leave your pet unattended I will provide them with a safe form of enrichment to keep them busy.
