“Cindy was so loving and gentle with my little chihuahua, Pan. This was our first experience with a sitter, and Cindy made sure it felt right in every possible way. Pan trusted her right away, and over the next few days became even more playful and affectionate. Cindy was incredibly patient and gave Pan all the space she needed to feel comfortable. I’m so happy we found her and will definitely book drop-in visits again whenever we need them!”


“Kristiaan did a great job doing check-ins for our two dogs, even though one of our dogs decided to be a bit of a menace! She communicated with us well and sent cute pics as well.”



“Hannah went above and beyond caring for my cat while I was away for a few day. Her visits were always on time and I got detailed updates after each visit. She spent the entire half hour every visit and managed to win over my very shy cat. I am definitely going to try to book with Hannah any time I travel in the future.”

“Kendra was sure to give my old girl lots of love when she came by and made me feel at ease with a lot of pictures. :) She was also very communicative and took the initiative in setting up our first meeting before I went away for the weekend, so that she could become familiar with Smokey’s feeding/medication schedule. Thank you, Kendra, for your hard work!”


About: Attention to detail, flexibility with times and days, friendlines with people and comfortable with all types of dogs. I have owned and cared for dogs and cats for many years. I'm retired so I will have plently of time to care for your pets. I'm avaiable based on your needs. I'm also avaible to do in-home pet sitting I have two friendly dogs and plently of walking trails in my neighborhood to make sure your pet gets plently of exercise and playtime as needed.

About: I grew up with dogs and also had a cat for a few years as well. I love all size dogs and I will care for your pet just like it was my own. I can play, walk, feed, and give all the love to your pet. My #1 goal is their safety and providing the attention your pet needs when you are not available to do so. I only accept dogs and cats that are spade/fixed. Let me help you be the best pet owner! I currently work a full time job during the week and can be available: • Open availability on Saturday’s and Sunday’s. •M-F: 6am-7:30am and 5:15pm-11pm for walks/drop in visits. I also have an hour lunch break usually between 11:30-12:30 (it’s flexible), so I can be available during that timeframe as well. •If booking for house sitting: I have a WFH job so I would be working at your home during the day, if requested to be there during the day. I currently take care of my 2 dogs while working, so it is something I am very accustomed to and have no issue doing 😊. I will be able to walk, feed, and provide medicine to your pet. I can also play, give treats, and cuddles if they are a cuddle bug! I usually like to message with the person who books with me so I can better understand their dog quirks and requirements.


“It was a great experience to know that your dog is taken care of and even given special attention during thunderstorms when we were away. The great pictures sent to us of Westin were a great and comforting. Thank you so much!”



About: I grew up in a home where mom & dad always took in needy strays and nursed them back to healthy long lives. As a 15-year pet owner myself to a loveable Maltipoo, I learned how to administer medication properly on a routine basis while affording her all the pleasures she deserved. Sadly, it's going on almost three years without her so my passion & love for pups longs for some part-time furry pals to look after. I'm really looking forward to meeting you and your pets, and thanks for taking the time to read my profile! Have a wonderful day! I am currently working part time but have many free hours on weekends and throughout the week to devote my full attention to your precious pup! I have a safe area of my apartment to keep your fur-baby during sleepovers. My complex has a large, fenced in, communal yard where we can run and play. Otherwise leash walks around the neighborhood are fully accomodable. To keep them the safest, we'll never fully engage with other pups unless that is a must. We'll never get into situations that may cause stress on you or your pup while you are away from eachother.

jeffrey b.
“Jeff is a responsible, caring individual that would provide the best care for any animal. He will ensure that any pet under his supervision would receive attention, be safe, and provided anything that is needed for that pet to be happy and healthy. He has a great rapport with any animal he meets, and he absolutely doted on his pet which he had for approximately 15 years. Anyone who has Jeff as a pet sitter or dog walker will be able to relax knowing that their pet will be well taken care of by him.”
