“Melissa was absolutely amazing. She was prompt, CLEARLY concerned that she had all the information she needed to take care of my cats, and flexible about some last minute complications with my plans. Melissa sent me awesome pictures and notes each day, and had my shy, timid boy eating up her affection. I would not hesitate to recommend her.”


About: With a lifetime of experience caring for cats and extensive experience with dogs of all ages, I provide attentive and loving pet care. I’m comfortable administering medications (oral, SubQ, IM) and can handle everything from bathing and walking to drop-ins. Friends and family often rely on me for their pets' needs, knowing they’ll receive the best care while they’re away. I’m currently available every day for your pet sitting, walking, and drop-in needs. I live in the Norwood/Oakley area and love getting my steps in while ensuring your pets have the support they need while you’re away! Your pets will be in excellent hands with me. Our home features a small, secure yard and hardwood floors with HVAC for their comfort. If your pet is crate-trained, we’re happy to use their crate. Our neighborhood offers fantastic walking routes, ensuring plenty of exercise and exploration. Rest assured, safety and trust are my top priorities, and your pets will enjoy a cozy and caring environment while you’re away.

“Rover wouldn't let me leave a tip large enough to show my gratitude. Heather was amazing, thoughtful, and treated our baby with the best care we could possibly ask for. We will ask for her every time we travel.”


“I am beyond grateful for Alison’s exceptional care of my dog. Not only did they provide all the basics—feeding, walks, and playtime—but they went the extra mile to make sure my dog was safe during a snowstorm. She was incredibly. It was evident that Alison thought about my dog and when above and beyond and truly cares about animals, and I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such capable hands. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, thank you for your kindness and dedication!”



“Saul was really good with my cats and sent me timely updates. One of my cats is shy and hides away and he made sure she was doing ok every time he visited. Overall I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a nice person to look after their pets.”


“Angel was super attentive to my cats while I was away, and coordinated with me through complicated travel schedules to make sure they would get the care that they need! I’m super thankful for her 💙”


“Taylor did a great job taking care of our cats. She made sure they were doing well each visit (despite them being a bit a reclusive). She made sure they got fed, had clean water and had a suitable litter box. She been hung around a little to see if they would come out. Will definitely hire her again.”


About: I grew up on a farm surrounded by dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments—which gave me a lifelong comfort and confidence working with animals. From energetic puppies to senior dogs, I’m experienced and patient with every stage of life. I have hands-on experience with basic obedience training and I’m currently working toward my dog training certification. I currently work at FedEx ground. I'm about to switch to weekends only so I can be available mon-friday anytime. Weekend nights could work if planned ahead. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a spacious, pet-friendly condo where dogs have plenty of room to play and relax. My own dog, Foster, is friendly and well-socialized—he loves making new friends and is great with other dogs. We also share a backyard with respectful neighbors and their dogs, creating a safe and social environment. I'm always happy to answer any questions or provide updates,just reach out anytime!

“Kelsey was great! Our cat got sick during one of her visits and she stayed longer than she needed to, just to make sure our cat was doing ok. We really appreciated her professionalism and communication.”


“Lots of great updates, looked like they had great quality time together! Brought peace of mind to see pics of my kitty having such a fun time when I had to find someone to take care of her at the last minute”


About: I’ve been a cat owner for the last 4.5 years, after foster failing and adopting my current cat Mimi. I’ve had experience taking care of more vulnerable cats (traumatized, senior cats) and a couple of dogs through fostering as well. I mostly work from home, so I have flexibility during the week to check-in, feed, and play with pets and whenever I’m available during weekends. I’m happy to take any requests around feeding, play, clean up to make your pet feel comfortable. I personally love seeing pictures of my cat when I’m away so I will provide live updates so you know your pet is safe.

About: I grew up with plenty of dogs in my family, and I was usually the designated dog sitter. All of my family and friends dogs grew up with me so I've delt with puppies and older dogs alike. I have watched dogs for months at a time and have enjoyed every last minute. I work a 9am-5pm from Mon-Fri so I am mostly busy then. I usually work from home the second half of the week so there is some flexibility on those days. But I have a completely open schedule Saturday and Sunday. My complex has multiple large fenced grass areas. I also love going on walks, so I am definitely willing to take them to parks. I own extra leashes, footies, beds, treats and other doggie essentials. If there are any concerns, I am willing to accommodate for dog.

“Dana has been so awesome with our 8-yr old cat, Momo. Momo was recovering from a surgery and was on a cone, so we’d been worried about leaving her by herself. We trusted her with Dana and we’re so glad we did because Dana has reallllyyyy helped us out (and calmed our separation anxieties too). She is calm and kind, and was great with Momo—she sent us regular, detailed updates and pictures from her visits. Dana was also great about giving Momo her daily medications, food and pets, and she actually did MUCH more than what we had asked of her. Really appreciate Dana and will definitely reach out to her in the future!! Highly recommend her <3 :)”


“Maria has been fantastic and reliable in caring for our two dogs regularly over the past year. We are usually nervous introducing our dogs to new caretakers as they have behavioral struggles, but Maria put us at ease. She was very adaptable and intuitive to their needs. For our dogs with anxiety, she has always provided a calm and reassuring presence. For our dog with overprotective instincts, she was persistent and respectful to establish trust. We have relied on her walking, day care and overnight sitting services regularly during our busy work schedules. She is very reliable, available and a great communicator. There is no one we trust more with our dogs. We cannot recommend her enough!”


“Tori was a wonderful sitter for my cat while I was traveling. He warmed up to her extremely quickly. She was very attentive in making sure that he had fresh water and food and played with him with his favorite toys. She also sent me plenty of pictures and videos. I would definitely recommend Tori!”


About: I have been around dogs since I was young and know just what to do to make your fur baby feel safe and cared for. I am responsible and trustworthy and would love to give you peace of mind. I am available for walks/drop-ins in the evening and weekends, full time care on the weekends, and walks on the weekends/evenings. I will have plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve! I will care for your pets in the same way you do so your pet’s routine isn’t interrupted!
