“Lauren was very responsive to messages, gave daily updates with pictures on her visits and my kitties seemed to love her! Will definitely be seeing if she's available the next time I need a pet sitter.”


“I cannot say enough great things about Jessica! She is fantastic!! She was so flexible with visit times to care for our kitty. She sent detailed updates and adorable pictures - I highly recommend her. It’s not easy to find someone you trust to care for your babies like you do, I will definitely be requesting her services again and will be referring her to others. You will not be disappointed if you hire her, 10/10!”

“This was our first time hiring Leah to take care of our three cats. We were very impressed and she paid attention to many close details we wanted done while we were gone. I can tell she actually cares and listened to us. Our cats are very social and like human attention. We purposely hired Leah on some visits to be an hour long so she can spend quality time with our cats. It was important to us that our cats receive the quality care and attention they deserve. Leah was always on time in stopping by and feeding our babies. If anything was of concern, she let us know and kept us up to date. She also helped medicate one of our cats while we were gone for a whole week. Whenever we travel again, Leah will be the pet sitter we will hire again.”


“Isabelle took wonderful care of my cats while I was on vacation. She was communicative and provided lots of photos which eased my mind, as I get nervous leaving them. I highly recommend her!”


About: I have always had a deep love of animals. I have experience with young puppies and have three cats and a dog of my own. I am my family’s and friends’ go-to petsitter! I have morning, afternoon, and evening availability throughout the week between shifts at my job, and I am happy to make things work for your schedule needs! I am detail-oriented and like to do things right. I am also super flexible to work with you and your pet with anything you need!

I hope to work with Natalie again in the future, and 10/10 would recommend!”

We truly can’t say thank you enough! We look forward to our next booking. Thank you SO much Nevaeh!”


About: I’ve fostered animals all my life. I currently work at a vet clinic as a kennel tech. I can administer any meds needed including insulin. I currently go to school and work a few hours at a vet clinic some weekends however I still have plenty of time for animal care. I have two cats in my house that love visitors. I don’t have a big yard but I love going to dog parks. I would treats your pets like mine with lots of love.

“Mattie was amazing to take care of our pets during the storm. She calmed them down and went the extra mile to take the dog on a walk during the breaks to stretch her doggie legs. Mattie also made sure our house was ok during the storm.”


About: My experience consists of watching family and friends dogs and occasionally cats. I had a small yorkie with hip dysplasia and cushings that required meds frequently and I had a black lab mix that has also passed away, who was blind in one eye and deaf. I offer companionship and exercise for your pets when you're away. I can help with training, taking them for long walks, going to the restroom, administering medications, or just being an awesome petter for your puppy (because all dogs are puppies, no matter how old). I usually work the weekends from 8-4pm, but am usually up very early and can walk your dog as early as 5am if needed. During the week I can stop by and check or walk your pet in the morning or afternoon. Wed-Sun I can watch/walk them at night as well. When I walk my dogs, I prefer them to be in a harness for their comfort and safety. I make sure to watch the dogs closely, so if I see any signs of stress, I will promptly remove them from the situation. During the summer months especially, I will make sure to walk them early in the morning or in well shaded areas to make sure their paws are well protected from the hot pavement. I carry a dog water bottle with me on my walks, so they always have access to clean water if needed. When dog sitting, I take them out constantly, offer lots of playtime and stimulation while there, and always make sure the area is clean.

About: I am an experienced dog owner and sitter. I grew up in a family that always had pets, including cats and dogs, and have owned multiple dogs since living on my own. Currently, I have one small chiweenie and regular dogsit dogs including Cocker Spaniels, Golden Retrievers, and Great Pyrenees. Shy or nervous rescue pets are no problem! I can handle any dog big or small, high energy, timid, low energy, giant breeds, counter surfers, etc. Pets with medical issues are welcome as I have experience taking care of dogs and cats with a variety of issues who’ve needed everything from shots throughout the day or diaper changes or to receive mobility assistance. I also have experience caring for chickens if you need someone to care for your chicks. I work full-time, but I am done at 4:30PM every weekday except for Friday - on Fridays, I am done at 1 PM. I also have flexibility in my schedule, so I can stop by to take care of any needs during the day or work from home if a pet needs additional care. I am up early every morning to give pets plenty of time to eat and play before leaving. When I get home, the first thing I do is let pets out to potty and to play. Throughout the evening, there is plenty of time for walks and playtime before bed. . First and foremost, I will strive to match or mimic the care and routine you give your pets at home. With a fenced in yard, your pet will have a safe place to potty and play. There are also many parks nearby to take your pet on walks or provide them with socialization. Pets are able to climb on furniture, sleep on my bed, and have mostly free rein of the house — my home is their home while we’re here. However, I have a pet gate I can put up and experience crating pets (as well as crate training dogs) for any pet who can’t be left free to roam.
