GeorgiAnna was professional, kind, and helpful from the start. As the owner of a pet with special needs, she understood and honored my need for "get to know you" visits and extra attention to details. My cats immediately took to her and received excellent care. I came home to happy, calm, well cared for pets and my home was also tidy the way I left it. GeorgiAnna will definitely be my "go to" pet sitter.

About: I have owned and lived with dogs and cats for my entire life. After losing my beloved shihtzu 6 years ago I decided I wanted to dedicate my life to helping others. I foster pets, dogsit/housesit board and walk dogs and I have a flexible schedule. I love dogs of all sizes but I only have space in my own home for dogs under 20lbs. I am available to do home checks and midday walks. I am available for overnights or weekends stays. I will of course follow your rules for whether pets are allowed on the furniture but as far as I am concerned, your pets are family and in my home they can go anywhere that I can go! If you’re looking for someone calm, dependable and responsible, look no further! I have a flexible schedule and can be available for midday walks, dinner, enrichment, and overnights. I love field trips and fun adventures with your pup and can also just hang out if they need companionship. I do not have any pets of my own so that I can dedicate my time to pet sitting and fostering. This enables me to host small pets in my home or to stay with pets for extended periods such as vacations.

Net was the best dog sitter during our short vacation from home. She left report cards for our two elderly dogs and sent so many pictures. It's nice to be able to leave and know your kiddos will still be cared for! Can't thank her enough.

Samantha took incredible care of my dog, arriving on time, providing consistent updates and photos that gave me total peace of mind while I was away!! It was clear Griffen was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Samantha again.

About: I have taken care of dogs, and cats my whole life, I have over 22 years experience. I’m very attentive, I like to keep everything according to their regular routine/schedule, I have a lot of experience with pets who have separation anxiety, medical issues, providing medications, extra care, etc. Patience is key to bonding, and gaining trust with fur babies. I always give fur babies space to come to me since I’m the one in their safe zone, and don’t want them to feel threatened at all. I am a very quiet person, I love to read books, and am currently studying consumer law. I would love to have a meet and greet so clients get the chance to know me, to be able to see from my interaction with your fur babies if I would be a great pick to take care of your pets, along with answering any questions you may have. I tend to ask a lot of questions so I can have all the information I need to be able to take great care of your pets. I also provide status updates to include pictures, videos, etc. during my bookings so clients can feel more at ease knowing their pets are in good hands. I can also provide references if needed. I have a lot of law enforcement clients along with friends of theirs who were referred to me by them. Your pets will always be safe, this is promise I never break. I also love to clean (I’m Asian lol), I take care of the mail, take care of trash/recycling when it needs to be taken out, and brought back in. I always leave the house the way I saw it upon arrival. I also will stay with your babies till you get home so you can see your pets are happy, and healthy, and to be able to see your home is in excellent condition. I don’t mind staying even if it’s past the time since delays can happen from car issues, flight delays, etc. so this way you don’t have to worry about your babies since I will stay till you come home, and answer any questions you may have before I leave, I never charge extra for that since that’s my policy, and anything could happen if I were to leave. I look forward to hearing from you, to our meet? & greets. I promise you won’t be disappointed ☺️ This is my only job so I’m available 24/7 to take great care of tint fur babies, to be able to tend to their needs, to be able to supervise them constantly, to be able to provide love, cuddles, and care. I’m also available on short notice I am able to stay at clients houses when house sitting, and never leave the house so I can ensure their safety, I can provide credible references, I send a lot of status updates, I encourage clients to FaceTime at anytime if they would like to see their fur babies, I like to ask a lot of questions during meet and greets so I can go over everything, get all the information I need so I can take great care of your pets, keep them safe, comfortable, and I am patient since it takes time to gain animals trust.

Vicki took fantastic care of our cat Zoey while we were gone for two week. She was very communicative, helpful and patient with all the odds and ends of such a long journey (complicated medicine schedules, snowstorms, and the like). we felt very secure knowing that Vicki was keeping an eye on our home while we were away. 10/10 would recommend

About: For a year, I walked my neighbor's Cavalier King Charles spaniel while she was recovering from a hip injury, until she could walk better. She and her daughter greatly appreciated my help and have said to me that their dog Cooper has been so much happier ever since he met me. I am a college student that goes to school 5 days a week from 7am to 2 pm. I can do early morning walks before 7am since I am a morning person, and I can do walks or come over after class. I am free on most weekends. I am free most of the time in the summer from June to August. I cannot bring pets into my home since I have two cats that are not very pet-friendly. But I can do all the care you need me to do at your house.

Karen was amazing at caring for our two cats while we were away for a week! Both were looked after lovingly and I appreciate how much Karen communicated with us and how reliable she was! Karen managed to bond with our more shy cat and get her to take her medicine. It was wonderful knowing Polly and Vinny were in good hands!

About: I’ve taken care of my neighbor’s dogs for many years. I make sure to walk them every day with a balanced meal. I will bathe your dog if requested or as needed. I’m a recent college graduate so I’m available most of the week. I’m ready to devote myself to giving care to animals and I love spending time with them. I live in an apartment with my partner and our two cats so, I’ll only be able to provide services at the client’s house. I will take the dog on leash if there is no fence. I have worked in animal clinic in the kennel so I experience with crating dogs at night. I additionally love spending time with cats and will play with them. I like to meet cats where they are at and not push their boundaries.

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 14 years old, whether it was for friends or family members. I have also taken care of older animals who need medicine and special care so I am experienced in that section. Additionally I’ve had multiple cats and dogs in my own home, that I’ve taken care of since they were kittens and puppies. I have a part time door dashing job. Which means I. En check in pets at anytime of the day. I’m free every day of the week. Whether it’s overnights or just checking in on pets. Making sure a pet is comfortable around me in incredibly important. So that the rest do our time together can be fun and safe for both of us. I love playing with animals, but not as much as snuggling them. (If they like that) :)

Sophia did an amazing job watching my 2 dogs! She sent detailed updates, lots of photos, and went above and beyond to make sure they felt comfortable while I was gone for 10 days. She maintained a high level of communication and I never had to worry. I highly recommend her for taking care of any pet you need!

Jessie has been visiting our pup for almost 6 weeks now. She is exactly what we needed for our energetic puppy during the day. Jessie is an excellent communicator and we always know when she is checking in and out with our dog. She also sends daily pictures which is great for us to feel like we haven’t missed a beat. We are so thankful to Jessie and highly recommend for your furry friends!

Kania puts my mind at ease when I'm out of town and require someone to care for Lux! She was very flexible and was able to accommodate a stressful last minute change of plans and still made sure Lux was looked after!

Our 14yo cat is finicky about food and craves lots of attention. We appreciated Marlee’s keeping in touch about feeding and petting. Ricky seemed content when we got home. We also were grateful that Marlee rolled with some schedule changes. Thank you, Marlee!
