“Andrew has been amazing during their drop in visits with my dog, Stryker. Each visit has been on time, and he makes sure Stryker has everything he needs, fresh water, potty time, playtime, and lots of petting. I appreciate the photos and messages I get after the visits. I highly recommend Andrew for your pet sitting needs.”


“Elizabeth was great with my dog and puppy! She was on time, communicative, and great for our girls. She helped keep our minds at ease while we were on a trip. I would definitely have her dogsit again!”



“Savannah is AWESOME!! She provides excellent care, when letting my two Furbabies out for a break!! Additionally, she always provides pictures and timely feedback!! I plan to keep Savannah as our Furbaby Sitter!!”


“Michelle was so amazing, what a life saver! Our cat is outside but needs meds. Michelle was so caring and thoughtful about making sure our cat got the pills, even on days where she was hiding and wouldn’t come out. Michelle’s updates were very detailed and allowed me to relax while on vacation. I’m so grateful!”


About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life! Neighbors, friends and family have always trusted me to take great care of there pups! I love all dogs but prefer big dogs! I am a competitive softball player that would love to help out with your dogs this summer! I am available Monday evenings and anytime Tuesday- Thursday along with Friday mornings! I can not take your pups to my house because I have an Australian bulldog already but I would love to help out however you need!

About: I have been house/dog sitting since the mid 1980's ( I know, a whole other century)! I have no problem staying at your place and taking care of your doggies, collecting the mail, watering your plants, or whatever keeps strangers at bay. I do have allergies to cats which is a bummer as I am a new cat-grandma but can do feedings or litter changing ( I wear a mask)- I just can't stay over. I have always had dogs in my adult life, and would love to be the "Mrs. Grandma" to your little fur baby! I work from 8am to 4pm Monday-Friday beginning Aug 8.. My evenings and weekends are free of work obligations. I do love to stay busy and explore fun things to do in and around the city or I can snuggle at home with my Winnie and a good book. I have had double knee replacements so walking dogs can be a tad difficult if it is a long journey. My dog (Winnie) has graduated to not requiring her cage during the day and a fenced in yard which she loves chasing the frisbee and tennis balls. We live near a park and Winnie loves to explore the trails. We also have a rabbit (Chip) who was originally a gift for my son and quickly became mine. Chip has an area where he resides inside but loves to be hopping around the living room.

“Riley's actions speak loud! She loves what she does! She's prompt and thorough for every drop in! She went above and beyond with the photos, notes AND she left our home neat and tidy! I highly recommend Riley to care for your fur babies while you're away, they will love her!”


“Alexa was AMAZING! We will definitely be using her in the future when we need a cat-sitter! Getting all of the pictures and the videos of Reece while we were away made it so much easier to be away. Alexa was super communicative and made things so easy. 10/10 would recommend”


“I had such peace of mind knowing someone was checking in while I was away. I really enjoyed the photos and comments. I would definitely recommend Patricia to anyone looking to book her.”


“Maddie is so caring! Our cat comes to see Maddie each time she comes. We couldn’t be happier about this. Our kitty is extremely shy and his love to Maddie is a sign of her genuine care.”


About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs. Growing up, I walked dogs in my neighborhood and helped raise my own pup from just 3 months old all the way to 16, alongside my dad. That journey taught me patience, responsibility, and how to meet a dog’s needs at every life stage. I have studied dog psychology and body language on my own. I’m comfortable administering pills and, with guidance, I can also give shots—always prioritizing each dog’s comfort and well-being. I currently work part-time in the event industry and my hours vary. I will have plenty of time to take care for your fur babies! I have a high commitment to trust and safety inside or outside of my clients home. I am extremely vigilant and aware of my surroundings. Your dog will always feel safe, protected, and cared for.

About: Hi! I'm a dedicated cat parent to three amazing kitties of my own. With years of hands on experience caring for my own fur babies, I understand how important it is to find someone who truly gets cats — their quirks, moods, and unique personalities. Whether your kitty is playful, shy, or a total cuddlebug, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. I offer gentle, attentive care tailored to your cat's needs because I know how much they mean to you. Let your cats stay in the comfort of their home, with someone who treats them like family 💕🐱 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to focus on giving pets the attention and care they need. Whether it’s morning feedings, midday playtime, or evening check-ins, I’m able to plan my day around your cat’s routine to keep things consistent and stress-free for them. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions carefully whether it’s feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, or any special needs your cat may have. I make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for in their own familiar space. I’m also happy to provide regular updates while you're away! I’ll send messages, photos, and videos so you can see how your pet is doing and feel reassured that they’re in good hands. I know how much it means to stay connected with your pet while you’re apart. In addition, I always respect your home, keep things tidy, and treat both your space and your pets with the same care I give my own.


“Laura has been lovely to work with! Not our first review and very likely not our last. She has sat for our pup multiple times in various forms and it’s always a positive experience. She sends multiple photos, keeps us updated on his potty and drink status, and genuinely shows she cares about him, which is most important in my book!”


About: I grew up with working line rottweilers on cattle farms. Later on went into the Army where I worked along side of some amazing dogs. Now I obedience train, walk, and house sit for people who love their fur children and want the best for them. I plan on getting certified in several forms of dog training, and will update this page as needed. I work with dogs full time and my schedule varies. Please feel free to reach out to me for specific time requests and scheduling thank you. At this time dog care will be limited to your home. I can easily walk your dog around your neighborhood or take them to a variety of parks. If socialization is needed for your dog I can also assist in this training.

“I was extremely pleased with Grace and how she cared for my fur baby. I took a bit of a chance on someone with no reviews, and I'm glad I did. My Dora is quite old, and normally I wouldn't have left her at this stage. I was concerned that Grace might be intimidated by her age and condition, but she jumped right in and assured me she would be in good and loving hands. I felt much better once I could see her attitude and maturity. Her visits were timely, as promised, and communication was right on the money. Knowing my concern for Dora, she even offered extra care, which I felt was a nice touch. Give her a chance if you can...I believe you will be more than satisfied.”

Krystal M.
“I can't recommend Krystal enough as a cat sitter! I've trusted them with my fur baby multiple times over the years, and every experience has been fantastic. She is incredibly caring, reliable, and attentive. My cat is usually quite shy around new people, but with Krystal she warmed up right away and felt so comfortable. They always go the extra mile to send me updates with pictures and videos so I never have to worry about how my pet is doing. It's clear that Krystal has a natural love for animals and a deep understanding of their needs. Whether it’s giving him plenty of cuddles, playing with him or making sure his food and litter are taken care of, she takes great care in everything. If you're looking for a trustworthy and compassionate cat sitter then Krystal is the one you want. My cat absolutely adores them, and I do too!”
