“Could not ask for a better pet sitter. Even when unforseen circumstances arrose she managed to take care of our beloved animals. And she ensured our puppers had lots of love. We had an issues with our automatic cat feeders malfunctioning and she helped make sure they were fed regardless. And we really appreciate how communicative she was answering any and all questions quickly. We'll definitely be using her services in the future.”


“Courtney was amazing. Thorough, kind, and great with our pets. She was very professional and personable. She went above and beyond. 10/10 would have Courtney care for pets again.”


About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 17, and over the years I’ve had the joy of caring for all kinds of animals big and small. From playful puppies and curious kittens to sweet senior pets who need a little extra TLC, I’ve done it all. I’m also experienced in giving medication when needed, and I truly love providing comfort, care, and companionship to every furry friend I meet. I work three days a week, which leaves me with plenty of free time to dedicate to pet sitting. It fits perfectly into my routine, and I love having the flexibility to give each pet the attention and care they deserve. My home is a safe, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for animals to relax and play. I live in a quiet, pet-welcoming neighborhood with minimal traffic, making it great for walks and outdoor time. Whether your pet loves lounging or being active, they’ll feel right at home here.

“Katie is a stellar sitter all around. It’s hard to leave your dog in someone else’s care, but we trust her and our dog loves her. She goes above and beyond to make sure the home is always safe by locking doors and bringing packages in when we don’t even ask. Cannot recommend her more.”


“Krista was awesome! Very communicative and flexible through the whole process. We dropped our puppy off with her for several hours. She was caring and did a great job caring for Libby. I recommend her and would use her again!”


“Ashley was fantastic with our corgi charles when we were away. Will be reaching out to her again for sure!”


About: I grew up caring for our family's Cocker Spaniel and Manx cat. At twelve, I started a dog walking service with my friends. We walked our neighbors' dogs into high school. I also frequently cared for neighbors' cats when they went out of town. I owned a Siamese cat and a Greyhound mix dog during my young adulthood. I fostered a family friend's Maltese-Shitzu for several months a few years ago. My current living arrangement does not permit me to have pets. I care for my dad's Pitbull and neighbors' pets when they leave town. I would love the opportunity to care for your fur babies, too! I am enrolled in an online MSW/MBA program. Therefore, I spend most of my time sitting at a computer or with a book. I enjoy taking breaks and going for walks. My daily/weekly routine is very flexible. I can easily manage your pets' daily needs and ensure a safe, quiet, friendly, and fun environment while you are away. Our fur babies know their routines. It’s my job to keep everything as similar as possible while their humans are gone. I have experience managing medications, strict diets, crate training, bathing, walking, commands, and cleaning up after pets. In addition, it’s my policy to leave the areas of your home that I used in the same or better condition than when I arrived. I promise you will not return home to mess.

“Skye was wonderful! She responded quickly and was easy to work with. She was very responsive and provided great report cards and photos! She was on time and my dogs loved having her. She also did a few additional things for us without hesitation. Definitely will work with Skye again!”


“Olivia was awesome with our kitty- he can be slow to warm up to new people, and she was very patient with him and his spicy tendencies. Olivia is very prompt in her communication and very thorough in ensuring that all directions are understood and followed. We will definitely be using her services again!”


“Caitlyn is awesome, she takes great care and patience with watching my puppy. She is my go to watch my Coco and my dog loves her. She is flexible and lives close, I would recommend her. It’s hard to find someone who cares and trust to come to your house and pet sit. Great service, friendly and trustworthy!!!”


“Samantha did an excellent job with Summit. She followed all of my instructions and he was a happy, tired pup when I got home.”


“Emily did a great job! Highly recommend!”


About: Since I don’t have pets of my own, I get my fill of animal love by caring for others’! I’m the go-to pet sitter for friends and family, and nothing makes me happier than loving on someone else’s pup like they’re my own. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or just keeping their routine steady while you’re away, I’m all about making your dog feel safe, happy, and a little bit spoiled — just like the fun dog auntie I am! Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine thanks to a flexible work schedule. I’m off on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, and on weekdays I’m home by 3 p.m. — perfect for afternoon walks, playtime, and keeping your pup company. I’m also able to pop in around lunchtime if needed. Evenings are all about spoiling the pets in my care, making sure they feel safe, loved, and completely at home until you're back! I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex with two fenced-in dog parks, plus a few grassy areas right behind my unit for quick and easy outdoor time. I'm also close to several walking trails — great for pups who enjoy longer strolls. There are no other pets or children in my home, so it's a calm, quiet space where your dog can feel safe, relaxed, and loved. Whether it’s playtime, rest time, or routine care, your pet will be treated like family in a secure and comfortable environment.

“Alyssa provided drop-in visits while we were out of town. I am giving her five stars. She let us know when each visit began and ended. I felt our pets were in good hands while we were gone.”


“TLDR; Anna is an absolutely incredible pet sitter and above that a truly kind, compassionate, and caring person who I feel immensely lucky to have met. There are not enough words to express how wonderful my experience with her has been, she has gone above and beyond in every single way. I have anxiety and my cat Brian has separation anxiety as well- I work from home and especially with the pandemic he has not spent a lot of time alone, this was his first time without my senior cat who he loves more than anything who is traveling with me (I couldn’t take them both on the plane with me as much as it broke my heart). I was so worried about leaving him alone with a sitter for the first time and worried about how much I would miss him too. From the second I messaged Anna I felt at ease and knew my little boy would be in the best hands possible. From the first visit, even though I knew she would take amazing care of him just from our initial conversations during which she was incredibly thorough and just amazing energy. She is extremely communicative and kind and has gone above and beyond in literally every way. I feel immensely lucky to have found a new best friend for Brian who she has treated with so much love and care, by the amazing pictures she has shared it is really special to see the bond they have formed in a short amount of time. He is OBSESSED with her. I cannot even begin to express how much love and care she has showed him-she truly has a special gift for animals that is unmatched. She has brought her own toys which he has LOVED, has gotten to know his quirks, she even brought him (of course she asked first to make sure it was ok) a cupcake for Christmas. She has helped with small things around the house without asking, she even offered to bring her own nail clippers and cut his nails. I hate cutting his nails!!! I look forward to her updates every single day and cannot express how wonderful it feels to know that he is not just “okay”, he is truly having the time of his life with her. She is amazing. No amount of money can fully express my graditude for her and how lucky I feel to have found such a special person and not just a new friend for Brian, but for me too. There are not enough people like her in this world. Hire her now.”


About: Apart from being a dog and pet owner for most of my life, I have cared for friends' and family's dogs, cats, birds and other small pets. Now as a mother in my 40s working part time, and with a 15+ year career in marketing & communications, I am ready to help you with your beloved pet including custom and senior care and will keep you informed along the way. I'm also not afraid to ask questions! I am Reiki Level I certified and have applied these skills with rescue dogs to help them feel more grounded and secure. I work part time and have a young daughter in first grade, so I have some more free time during the weekdays for drop ins and walks! Building trust and maintaining a safe environment is my utmost priority. Not only will I keep clear communication along the way, but I lead with my heart in everything I do.

About: I’ve taken care of my dog all her life! From puppy to senior care, I’ve adapted to whatever needs my dog has needed. I’ve also volunteered at the SPCA, taking care of a variety of different dogs. I’m currently going full-time to medical school, but my schedule has opened up a bit. My schedule changes monthly depending on what clinical rotation I’m in, but when I’m free I am more than happy to take care of your pet! My dog roams freely around my house. She is properly potty trained and mostly sticks to the living room (where her bed and food are).

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a teenager. I am now a retired ER Nurse, with lots of pet experience. I have trained, exercised, fed, and loved five dogs of our own over 25 years....Dogs of shapes and sizes and activity level. I am active so I can get your furry friends out for walks snow, rain or sunshine! I have a shepherd that we rescued at 8 months from the SPCA and he was poorly trained. I took him to a training class. Do to his energy level I get him out every morning for a two mile hike. He also enjoys ball time and stick throwing. I am now a retired nurse and would love to spend my free time with your furry family members. I have a fenced yard but also live close to lots of open space for my dog to run off leash. I can walk your pets in your neighborhood, throw their favorite toy to them, feed and play with them.
