“Dinira was a fantastic catsitter for our furball over Christmas. She was always responsive, diligent and thorough in both her care for our cat and keeping us informed of how he was doing. She was wonderfully helpful and we hope to utilize her service again if we leave town. Thank you so much!!”


“Barber did a wonderful job with our 2 very shy cats. At the meet and greet session, our shyest cat actually stayed close by which demonstrated a level of comfort and trust. Barber updated me daily, shared pictures, and kept in contact. I would definitely recommend Barber and will ask her to pet sit on our next vacation.”

“So happy with Tricia. Cats are calm and look well cared for. House is also in good shape ( she house sat as well). She was very flexible and helpful when we discovered that I hadn't been clear about needing her an extra day. I was very fortunate that she was available. I would highly recommend her and I will use her services again.”


“Kamie did a wonderful job. She kept us well informed of her drop in visits and although our neurotic cats didn't come out while here, she provided photos showing cleaned out liyter box along with filled water and food dishes. We look forward to her services in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone else.”


About: I’ve always had a passion for pets, and my experience caring for animals runs deep. I've looked after my neighbors' dogs and cats, and I’ve taken care of my sister's big 110-pound dog along with her two mischievous kittens. Growing up with dogs, I’ve developed a solid understanding of their needs, and right now, I’m lucky to have two amazing pups of my own: a 12-year-old Chihuahua and a lively 5-year-old Pitbull. They’re the best of friends, and they’ve taught me a lot about senior dog care and playtime balance. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, and I’m committed to making sure your pets feel loved and well cared for while you’re away. I am a line dance instructor full time, so I have no issues fitting in pet care! I teach classes 4 times a week and sometimes I do dance events on Fridays. I am available for casual walks or play dates on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Friday mornings-afternoon, and am available for overnight boarding most weekends. I have two dogs in my home, one senior Chihuahua/Beagle mix and one young Pitbull mix. Both are up-to-date on all shots. I do have 1 crate available if needed. My pitty does typically get crated when I’m not home. Both dogs have access to food and water bowls. I do not have a fenced in yard, so I am very used to leashes. I love to take my dogs to the local dog park (5 minutes away). Both of my dogs are potty trained and leash trained. I am comfortable with walking dogs, feeding dogs, and administering oral medications.

About: Let me begin by saying I LOVE animals. My family and I have always had dogs and cats ever since I was a child. I have experience in house sitting and caring for multiple dogs at a time, as well as administering medication. As an owner of a 7 year old German Shepherd named Oliver, and his younger siblings that are 4 year old German Shepherd/Husky mixes named Mango and Wylie, I completely understand the hesitancy in trusting a stranger to care for your fur babies. I love every dog like they are my own. I also have experience in taking care of cats and cats that are elderly. I had the opportunity to take ownership of a 20 year old cat, and I got to love and care for her for the last two years of her life. I am currently in between jobs and working towards a certification online. Which means, my availability to care for your pet is very flexible and will be able to give your pet the attention they need. For potential clients: I will be out of town from August 15th 2025- August 24th 2025. I will not be able to respond to any requests during that time. But will respond promptly after said dates. I care for your pets with the utmost love, care and flexibility. If there are routines/rules in place, I will abide by them strictly, as I understand that sometimes diverting from those routines can be traumatic for your dog. Routines includes meal times, treats, walks, being let out to use the bathroom and playtime. If you are looking for photo updates as well, I’m more than happy to send those over.

About: Hello! My name is Abigail, and I’ve been passionate about caring for animals for as long as I can remember. I currently have three wonderful fur babies: two Shih Tzu’s and a husky, along with a lovely cat. I take great pride in treating every pet I care for as if they were my own. Whether it’s feeding, watering, administering medication, cleaning litter boxes, or engaging in playtime and cuddles, I ensure each animal receives compassionate and attentive care. I especially enjoy the special bond that forms through play and affection, making sure your pet feels loved and comfortable while you’re away. My schedule is flexible during the summer months (June and July). The rest of the year, I am available in the evenings and on weekends since I am a full-time college student, soon to be teacher in January. Therefore, I can meet your pet’s needs! I am also happy to stay overnight in your home and be your pet’s friend if you wish. Additionally, I will send daily updates and pictures during your absence. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. Thank you! I will provide the utmost care when taking care of your furry babies. I ask that you let me know your pet’s usual routine, and I will continue it while you're away. I have experience caring for pets in their owners' homes. Therefore, I will water, feed, and administer pills (if needed) to your pets. I will also clean litter boxes and tidy up, ensuring any pet hair and related messes are taken care of. Additionally, I will play and cuddle with cats, and play, cuddle, and exercise with dogs.

“Betty did a great job taking the time my boy needed to get more comfortable on his first visit. He's a super sweet boy but shy and apprehensive at first. She helped make him feel comfortable and he warmed up quickly. I expect the next visits will be even better. Thank you Betty!”


About: My family has always cared for animals since I was a little girl! I love to get each animal’s unique personality so that I can cater to their unique needs and routines. When I pet sit, I make sure that I communicate with the pet owner regularly through pictures and reports. As an educator with a flexible schedule, I am able to come home twice a day to walk and feed my pets and other pets in my care. We are home on weekends and the entire summer and holidays! I have a finished basement with plenty of space for lounging and playing. We have 2 friendly small puppies that loves to play and interact with other animals. We are also installing a fence in our back yard soon!

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover and current pet parent to one energetic German Shorthaired Pointer puppy and two independent (but secretly snuggly) cats. Caring for such a high-energy breed has given me lots of experience with exercise needs, structure, and gentle training — while my cats remind me to always respect boundaries and read body language. Whether your pet is playful, shy, anxious, or a total goofball, I meet them where they are. I believe in kind, attentive care and keeping pets as comfortable and happy as possible while you’re away. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely love getting to know each animal’s unique personality. With a flexible schedule and ample free time, I’m able to provide reliable, consistent care tailored to your pet’s needs. Whether it’s frequent potty breaks, medication on a schedule, or just keeping them company, I’m fully present and available. Whether your pet stays with me or I come to you, I do my best to create a calm, safe, and loving environment. At my home, pets have room to play, relax, and feel like part of the family alongside my friendly GSP pup and two laid-back cats. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’m always respectful of your space and stick closely to your pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals and always been a lover of all things that don’t speak lol. I’ve worked at a boarding and grooming place and been in charge of medication and special allergies for those in need. I can usually work around with anyone that is within certain distances between my area and where I’m willing to travel without putting too much on my vehicle. I do not offer in home staying due to having three dogs and no other area for any animals to stay with me. I do offer full care in owners homes, pop ins or daily care for the out of town trips. I can go for walks and make sure they get proper exercise and play time.

About: I’ve worked in vets offices with 2 years experience. I am capable of giving medications or treatments. I can also do light grooming nails/ brushing. I’m available throughout the week and weekends, I have the weekends marked out as of right now but I’m willing to do them as well! I am comfortable with any type of kenneling a dog, cat. I am able to understand stressors for a dog and read their body language. If they like music or prefer to be outside I will be right there with them!

Abigail D.
“Abigail is an absolute gem! She’s cared for our beloved Husky many times and is truly the kind of person every pet owner dreams of finding. Not only is she incredibly reliable and responsive, but she also brings genuine love and joy into every visit. She has stayed in our home on multiple occasions, and I can say with full confidence that she treats our fur baby like her own. Abigail is kind, polite, and attentive to every need. She doesn’t just “show up” for the job—she spoils our dog with affection, play, and care every time. One of the most heartwarming things is watching our dog’s reaction when she walks through the door—even after months apart, he can’t get enough of her. That bond says it all! We feel so lucky to have found Abigail and will always welcome her into our home to care for our pup whenever our schedule allows. Trust me—you’ll be just as impressed as we are!”
