“Wendy is kind and trustworthy. She took the time to get to know my dog and made sure she was comfortable at the first visit. My dog is a unique breed so I really appreciated the patience. She was very professional!”

“Kylie stopped in to bring my dog Patsy out when I had to work longer shifts at work. She was a great communicator and I felt very comfortable having her care for Patsy. I could tell Patsy loved her too based off how happy she looked in the photos Kylie sent! I would definitely recommend any of her services!”

“Emma was super sweet and so helpful. My usual sitter canceled extremely last minute which left me scrambling and Emma was able to help with essentially 12 hours notice. She saved me from having to call out of work. The dogs seemed to love her and she took adorable pictures. Thank you so much for being a lifesaver!”

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I have two Bernedoodles, Cosmo and Shep, who are the loves of my life and have taught me so much about caring for dogs. From daily walks and playtime to keeping them happy, healthy, and comfortable, I’ve gained years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different personalities and energy levels. I’ll treat your dog with the same care, attention, and affection that I give my own. I currently work as a host in the evenings, which gives me flexibility during the day for dog walks and drop-in visits. I’m generally available throughout the week and love spending my free time with animals whenever I can. While I am unavailable on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, I strive to be as available as possible on other days to provide reliable care, exercise, and attention for your pets. Whether your dog needs a walk, a quick check-in, or some extra companionship during the day, I’d be happy to help! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I understand that every dog has their own routine, personality, and needs, and I take the time to follow your instructions carefully to help them feel comfortable and secure. During walks, I prioritize leash safety, pay close attention to my surroundings, and make sure your dog gets the exercise and attention they need. For drop-in visits, I’ll ensure your pet is cared for according to their normal routine, including feeding, water, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of affection. I also believe in keeping owners updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Katy was a lifesaver! We had a last minute need for a dog sitter and Katy was quick to respond and she was very flexible. She took great care of our dog each time she came by; she walked her, played with her and fed her regularly. I highly recommend her!”

About: I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and energy levels. I am comfortable with walking, feeding, playing, and making sure pets feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I pay close attention to each pet’s needs, routine, and personality to make sure they are comfortable and happy. I am reliable, patient, and truly enjoy spending time with animals, treating every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine as a student because I keep a consistent schedule and have dedicated time before and after classes for walks, visits, and feeding. I’m also usually more flexible on weekends, which allows me to spend extra time with pets. Since I enjoy being around animals and staying active, taking care of pets is something that easily fits into my day. When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always focus on keeping them comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding them on schedule, giving them fresh water, taking them on walks, and making sure they get plenty of playtime and attention. I also make sure they have a clean, safe, and calm environment where they can feel relaxed. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs, whether they need extra exercise, quiet time, or lots of affection, and I always keep owners updated so they know their pet is in good hands.
“Lucy was really wonderful with my two cats. She was always on time and made sure to give me details. I love her short stories of how they were doing, definitely my favorite. She also gave me lots of pictures and videos. The kitties seemed to warm up to Lucy very quickly. She was awesome with them and very respectful of our home.”
“Sarah was absolutely fantastic taking care of our Ragdoll kitten while we were away for a week. It was our first time leaving our cat, who's still pretty young and energetic, so we were a little nervous. But Sarah made us feel so much better, and visited our cat twice a day for care and play. Sarah always gave us updates and photos, and communicated well both before and during our trip. Can't recommend her enough, and looking forward to working with her again.”


“Samantha was great! We recently adopted a very active and playful kitten. She did a fantastic job keeping him occupied and safe while we were away. Samantha was very punctual and had great communication. We will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”

About: The Pet Whisperer: I have decades of experience both caring for AND owning pets; mainly cats and dogs. My first dog was already in the family when I was born; I don't know life without caring for a pet. Dog walks and cat play have always been a part of my lifestyle. Looking to carry my love of pets into caring for yours! I currently have flexibility in my schedule from 6:30 am - 10:30 pm seven days per week; ideally with advance notice especially for boarding and/or around holidays. If an opportunity arises where I am at my home with your pet, I have a fenced in backyard for outdoor play. Indoors I have several dog beds of varying sizes for your dog to feel comfortable and right at home and dog toys to enjoy (both of which get cleaned after every use dog visit)
“Charlene took great care of my dog for about two weeks while I was gone. She was super nice and just fabulous, sending us pics and movies with kind voice and humor everyday, we felt very relieved and comfortable as soon as seeing them. When I came back, my dog seemed definitely been in good mood with her everyday visits and care. I would definitely rely on her for my next travel.”

“Jessica was great! Booked a drop-in with short notice. She was responsive, flexible, and showed a care and understanding for my pooch's well-being as well as any concerns I had”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was three years old and trained most of them! I often take care of my sisters one year old Pomeranian and take him to the local dog park and on long walks on the nearby trail! With my full time job as an interior designer, I’m free to spend time with your pup on the weekends and on the Mondays or Fridays that I’m working from home! Unfortunately my apartment does not allow dogs but I can care for your pup at your home! I know every pup is different so I can care for her/him according to how you would like :) I love going for walks so I do not mind taking long walks!
“LIV is the best cat sitter we have ever had. It doesn’t matter how many days later in which you walked back into your home. It feels as if you were never away. The place is tidy the cats are happy. They look rested and playful. I would recommend her to anybody”

Devon took such wonderful care of Dutton and Ranch again! She always goes above and beyond and gives us so much peace of mind while we’re away. She’s thoughtful, reliable, and clearly cares so much about our cats. We always come home to happy, well cared for pets and couldn’t recommend her more.

Emily took care of our cat like she was her own while we were out of town. She was incredibly responsive, gave us regular updates, and went above and beyond to make sure our cat was happy. It gave us such peace of mind knowing she was in such loving and capable hands. We came home to a very happy cat—and a spotless home. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and genuinely caring.
Erica was awesome! Punctual, attentive and an excellent communicator! My pup didn’t feel well and she went above and beyond to send pics and comfort Essie while I was out of town- even cleaned up and checked back to see if she could help clean up after her last “shift”!
