Natalie took excellent care of our cat Milo while we were away. She was very detailed in her updates and even brought in a package that was delivered in our absence. I will definitely use Natalie again!

Tiffany is awesome! She did drop-in visits with our cat Marshall while my husband and I went out of town for a trip. He warmed up to her right away. She is very communicative and super quick to respond. Would definitely recommend her to others and will be re-booking in the future!

About: I have a deep love for animals especially since I have a 10 year old schnauzer back home in Florida who I miss every day. Being around pets again brings me joy and comfort, and I always strive to give that same feeling back to the animals I care for. I treat every dog like my own; with love, patience, and attention to their unique needs. I also genuinely enjoy walking outdoors, so your pup will always get the exercise and fresh air they deserve. Whether it’s energetic playtime or gentle care for seniors, I’m here to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I love going on walks every day, especially in the spring/ summertime. So taking dogs along just makes those moments even better. Since I work as a competitive gymnastics coach in the evenings, my mornings and afternoons are wide open for drop-ins, walks, and quality time with pets. It’s the perfect balance of movement, fresh air, and furry companionship! Whether I’m caring for pets in my client’s home or dropping in for a visit, I focus on making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I take time to bond with each pet through play, cuddles, or just calm companionship. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family, always making sure they’re happy, exercised, and well cared for while you’re away.

Myah did a wonderful job with our Stella! When I walked in, Stella was like "oh you're here," which is the perfect and desired response when any of us return. Stella should know she is safe at home and whoever walks through that door will take care of her. And Myah did very well, meeting our girl's needs in our neighborhood. Will definitely rebook!

Savannah was truly outstanding. I had just started fostering a dog a week prior to her coming in, and she stepped in flawlessly. Had no issue washing the bedding when an accident happened, exhausted both dogs and made them happy and safe through out the whole week. She’s competent, figured out where everything was, and professional to a T. Would rebook her for a longer vacation anytime.

Lauren was open to a thorough meet and greet prior to watching our two kitties, and she took the biggest weight off our shoulders while we were away. She sent plenty of updates, gave them their favorite treats, and lots of loving and play time. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for loving them like your own! They’ll be excited to see you next time!

About: As someone who has hired many pet sitters myself, I know exactly what it takes to give an owner total peace of mind: immaculate communication, unwavering reliability, and putting safety above all else. I have extensive experience caring for dogs (and cats) at every stage of life. Whether it’s keeping an energetic puppy calm and safe after a spay/neuter procedure, or providing gentle, attentive care to a sweet senior, your pet is in expert hands. Why we’ll get along great: Medical & Post-Op Experience: Fully comfortable managing medications and post-surgery recovery restrictions. Love for Long Walks: I regularly exercise my "doggy nephews," and long, stimulating walks are one of my absolute favorite hobbies. Tailored Communication: I communicate exactly the way you want—whether that means frequent photo updates, quick text check-ins, or a detailed summary at the end of the day. Safety First: Your dog's well-being and the security of your home are always my top priorities. I work a standard full-time job, meaning your dog or cat will have my undivided attention during peak prime times! My availability includes: Weekdays: Before 9:00 AM & after 5:00 PM Weekends & Overnights: Fully available! Your Home, Your Rules: Safety is My Priority I fully respect and abide by all the household and safety rules you have in place. I am incredibly meticulous and will always ensure your home is left exactly as you want it. Here is how I keep your pets secure: For Dogs: Whether they use a fenced yard or require a leashed walk, I double-check that they are fully secure. If they use a crate, I ensure they are safely tucked in and the latch is completely locked. For Cats: I keep a sharp eye out for curious kitties to make sure they can't get into any hidden hazards. For Your Home: I am extremely detail-oriented—everything will be kept in its right spot!

Kathleen is so great with Lucy, who can be a shy anxious cat. She has been attentive to the specific requests I’ve asked her to report on to give me peace of mind while I’m away. I’m so happy to have found someone Lucy feels happy and safe with. Every day she’s sent me photos of a contented cat!

I was so worried about leaving my cat who just had emergency surgery for a trip I couldn't postpone, but when I saw Mary's updates, I knew he was in good hands. Having a great cat sitter calmed my anxieties and allowed me to enjoy my time away. Thanks again for doing such a great job taking care of Oscar!
