“Elizabeth did a great job taking care of our cats. She provided updates and pictures, and made sure that our cat Sonic (an escape artist) stays inside at all times. Definitely will ask for her help again!”


“Sarah is simply the best. I've never been away from my cat for more than a few days at a time, but knowing Sarah would take such good care of her (feeding, playing, cuddling), and be so communicative with me gave me such peace of mind while I was away for 11 days. I cannot recommend her more highly!”


About: I have 1 dog that is a golden retriever. I’ve had pets all my life and love taking care of them. I will walk, pet and give plenty belly rubs as needed. My schedule is pretty flexible. Ask me and I can accommodate. I am free most mornings and evenings. Let me know if you need any adjustments I offer overnight boarding and allow pets to sleep in the bed, on the couch or a crate. (You tell me how you want sleep!)

“Having Heidi check-in our our 3 cats gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. She went above and beyond to assure that they (and our plants) got the care they needed and we would entrust her to look after our kitties the next time we travel. Heidi is very experienced, friendly and responsible. We definitely recommend her!”


“Dakota is a lovely and attentive caregiver. My older lady cat needs a daily visit and Dakota was thoughtful and great in her communication. Odie was much more happy and relaxed when I returned. Will definitely work with Dakota again!”



“Venetia was so lovely with our dog who can be difficult with strangers. She was communicative throughout the whole process and flexible with our last minute travel changes. I couldn't ask for a better sitter.”

About: Friend to all animals.✨ I have walked and dog-sat two pitbulls (ages: 2 and six months) on a weekly basis since the fall of 2022. My additional clients include mutts, a pug, a belgian shepherd, dobermans, and more, ages ranging 10 weeks - five years. I have stuck with some clients for over a year until their schedules changed or they moved, and with some dogs on a temporary basis. I am intent on working with the owners to adapt to their training methods for their fur-babies and enforcing those gently. Walks are enjoyable for both the dogs and me: I keep it lax and adapt to what they want in that moment. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats and fur-babies alike since I was 15, when I would dog-sit and walk for family friends. I’ve had varying dog sitting and cat sitting gigs (both day visits and overnights) since then, some of which included overnight stays. Pet care is great supplemental time with pets and additional income while I full work remotely. I am flexible to work with clients on their schedules/their adorable pets schedules. I am also available some nights and weekends. My top priority besides providing love, fun and stimulation to your pets is their safety: both for their sake and my own. Making sure that we discuss your yard set up especially your fencing, and indoor set up (do you have animal gates/baby gates set up, areas they’re not permitted in), etc. Communication is key and I would love to know what works for your animal: what boundaries are set and what they’re comfortable with.

About: I’ve taken care of many animals every since I was 10. I hope to meet your cute furry friend soon because I know their pawfect! I’m currently available Monday , Tuesday , Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday. I will always have plenty of time for furry friends! If needed I will try to extend my days! I have a fenced yard where your pup can run around and go potty in. I also have two dogs that your pup can play with. I also have many crates that can be used if needed!

“Gillian stopped by ahead of time to meet yara. She was great, interacting an playing with her. An yara seemed very happy jumping and running around. I would definitely recommend Gillian to care for all my animals with no worries.”
