“I have been using Leo for a little over a month now. I highly recommend him. Super great with communication, very attentive with my dog and super flexible. Biggie (my big boy) loves him and enjoys his time with him.”



“Jess is my go-to cat sitter! My old cats are so relaxed when I come home and I can tell they have been well-taken care of. Jess sends me great pictures and stories while I’m away and you can tell how much she enjoys her job. Highly recommend!”


“Natalie was wonderful! My cat can be territorial while were away. Natalie was patient, understanding, and extemely communicative. If you need a trustworthy and kind petsitter Natalie is your person!”


About: Hi, I’m Madi! 🐾 I’m a registered nurse with a big soft spot for dogs — especially Golden Retrievers (I recently adopted my own sweet Golden, Lexie!). She’s a gentle 6-year-old who loves walks, snuggles, and meeting new friends, so your pup will always have a built-in buddy if you’d like. I know how important it is to feel at ease when leaving your dog in someone else’s care. I bring the same reliability, patience, and attention to detail from nursing into pet care — whether that’s keeping to feeding schedules, administering meds, or making sure your dog gets plenty of exercise and love. I’m comfortable with all breeds and sizes, from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra TLC. I live in a dog-friendly space with access to walking trails, and I’m happy to tailor care to your pup’s personality and routine. When your dog is with me, you can count on: • Daily updates & photos 📸 so you never have to wonder how they’re doing • Lots of playtime & walks to get their energy out • Snuggles & attention (if they’re the cuddly type!) Your pup will be treated like family — because that’s exactly how I see them. ❤️ I work as a registered nurse on 12-hour shifts, just three days a week. That means I have 4 full days off every week to dedicate to caring for your pets. My shifts rotate, but I always know my schedule in advance, so I can plan pet care reliably. I also work every other weekend, which leaves me with plenty of flexibility on weekdays and some weekends free as well. On my days off, I’m home and fully available for walks, drop-ins, or overnight care. How I Care for Pets in My Home: In my home, dogs are treated like family. I live in a pet-friendly space with room to play and easy access to walking trails. My own Golden Retriever, Lexie, is gentle and social, so visiting pups have a built-in buddy if they’re comfortable with other dogs. I keep a consistent routine with feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and plenty of attention. Safety always comes first — I make sure the environment is secure, supervise play, and follow any instructions you provide to keep your pup happy and comfortable. How I Care for Pets in a Client’s Home: When I’m in your home, I do my best to maintain your pet’s normal routine so they feel secure. That includes feeding at the same times, daily walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any medications or special care instructions. I always respect your home and keep it as I found it, while giving your pets the attention and companionship they’re used to when you’re there. You’ll also get regular updates and photos so you know they’re in good hands.

“Kristis is very professional, knowledgeable, easy to work with and with strong communication skills. She is super reliable. Because Kristin is super reliable, we trust her judgment. We highly recommend Kristin and any pet would be so lucky to meet her. We as her client are so happy and impressed with her excellent services and professionalism”


“Svetlana was great and went above and beyond. One of our dogs unexpectedly pooped in the house and she cleaned it up and even picked up the poop in the backyard (though we did not expect that of her!) she jumped in when our sitter cancelled last minute. Thanks again!”


About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life! My best memories are bringing them to lakes growing up and playing in the water with them! I’m currently working full-time but I want to help take care of your pets on the side! After 6pm on weekdays work, along with any time on the weekend with a notice! Smoke-free apartment unit and a lot of walking trails around! I can accommodate to anyone’s living environment! I love going to parks with my dog.

“Sara reliably took care of our cat Pesto while we were away for 3 weeks. Communications was easy/quick despite my 18 hr time difference, and most importantly- I could tell from the photos that Pesto loved her company!”


“I chose melinda to check in on my cat due to his separation anxiety. She did amazing! My cat loved her and she was very responsive to any of my messages. I will definitely be booking her again in the future!! Thank you Melinda!!!”


“Frances was great and flexible! She took great care of my cat and was very responsive to all of my requests of getting more photos, leaving notes, pick up/drop off keys etc. I would recommend her to take care of any of your furry friends!”


About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. My cat journey began at 15, and today I’m the proud cat mom of DunDun and Nomi—two rescues I adopted and nurtured from shy, withdrawn kitties into affectionate, confident companions. I’m experienced in administering oral and topical medications, cleaning litter boxes, and making sure every cat feels safe, loved, and understood. My dog care experience started with my own family pup, whom I’ve cared for and trained since he was a playful puppy. I’ve also looked after friends’ dogs of all sizes and personalities, from tiny lap dogs to large, energetic companions. I’m confident in giving medications, providing light grooming such as nail trimming and ear cleaning, and ensuring every pup gets the right balance of exercise, affection, and care. Whether it’s cats or dogs, I treat every pet like my own, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. As a dedicated student who spends the majority of time at home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent and reliable pet care throughout the week. I’m available Monday through Sunday to accommodate your needs, whether it’s drop-in visits to check on your cats or dogs, regular dog walking sessions, or extended house sitting stays for your furry family members. I understand that pets need love and attention every day, which is why I’m committed to being there whenever you need me — whether it’s during busy weekdays, relaxing weekends, vacations, or long holiday breaks. My goal is to offer peace of mind to pet owners by ensuring their pets receive personalized care and companionship, no matter the time or day. No matter the size of your dog or the temperament of your cat, I’m ready and eager to help. When you can’t be there, I will be — providing trustworthy, loving care tailored to your pet’s unique needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and familiar environment for your furry friends. I follow your specific care instructions closely—whether that involves feeding schedules, administering medications (oral or topical), cleaning litter boxes, or providing exercise and playtime. I make sure to maintain your pet’s daily routine as much as possible to reduce stress and keep them happy. I also keep the home secure and tidy, ensuring all doors and windows are locked and that your pets have access to fresh water and a clean space. Most importantly, I spend quality time bonding with your pets through gentle attention and affection, so they feel loved and cared for even when you’re away.

“Julie, was punctual and my 3 dogs really liked her a lot! We booked her for 2 drop in visits as one of my dogs is very sensitive and doesn't walk well with others but she really took well to Julie. We will definitely be booking with her again!”


About: I assisted in training Golden Retriever puppies for over a year, I worked at a Doggie Daycare for 2 years, I have a 2 year old Golden Retriever of my own, and have worked with senior dogs! I’m currently trying to make pet care my full-time job. With that being said, I will be available practically all the time. I spend most of my day with my dog, and I already board/walk/do in-home visits for the old daycare I worked for. I have a fenced-in yard, that wraps around my house. It’s a pretty big yard. My basement is fully stripped, so hanging inside if it’s raining is no big deal! I have air conditioning to keep the pups cool, as well as a kiddy pool that the dogs can swim in!

“Lauren is a real jewel. She was incredibly caring with my terminally ill kitty, taking extra time to give her attention and cuddling. She did a great job cleaning up in a pretty messy situation. And when there was an emergency, she went well above the call of duty. Essentially she treated my pets and my home as if it were her own, and me as she would a friend. I can’t recommend her highly enough!”


“We can’t say enough good things about Yuzhou! She has been absolutely amazing with our dogs—so caring, patient, and attentive. Our pups are always sooo excited to see her and come home happy and well-exercised after every walk. We also love the detailed updates she sends after each visit—it gives us such peace of mind knowing the boys are so well cared for. Yuzhou truly treats our pups like family, and we feel so lucky to have her!”
