My dog took to him right away, and it was obvious Billy has a natural connection with pets. He kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Billy to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and trustworthy sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with him again!”

About: I love animals and have been around them my entire life. Starting out with cats, dogs, turtles and fish. My current animal family is 2 cats. I deeply care for animals so you can rest easy knowing your pets will be in good hands. I will provide your pet with the best services, such as; Dog Walking, Potty Breaks, Overnight Pet Sitting, Around the Clock Care, Dog Park Trips, Kitty Care. If you'd like I can check in with you as often as you prefer to update you on your pets. I love making new animal friends so I look forward to meeting your buddies! I work about 20 hours a week at the most depending how busy it is. So I am able to give your pets loads of attention. While I am away from home I will keep your pet in my bedroom away from my cats and plants. When I am home your pet will be free to wander around my apartment unless otherwise specified or if there are issues with the cats. Potty breaks every 2-4 hours and at least one long walk a day.


16. Lindsay P.

“Lindsay was an awesome Rover! She took great pictures and kept me very informed with how Lily did. Would definitely use her again in the future!”


17. April N.

“April always cat sits by 1 year old spoiled cat every time I’m out of town. She always goes above and beyond, even bringing in packages and taking out the trash. I love her thorough Rover cards and my kitty adores her. This time, I had accidentally booked the wrong dates one week out and when I messaged her about it, she immediately got in her car and went to visit, even though it was all my own fault. Thank you so much, April!”


18. Angela J.

“Angela was great! She is very experienced and very comfortable with any and all instructions I gave! She took great care of my cats, and I never worried about them while I was gone!”


19. Kerry S.
About: I am a walker because my joy comes from animals, being outdoors and exercise. I get all 3 in one activity! Weekly, I volunteer at the Animal Humane Society walking shelter dogs and volunteer as a Training assistant for clients who attend dog training classes. I am an owner of two sibling kitties that I adopted through a rescue group. I believe exercise and engagement are important for the well being of our animals. I look forward to visiting with your fur baby soon! I bring treats and lots of love! I am available most week days to drop in or walk your animals. If you need a weekend walk, reach out. I also work holidays. For dogs, I bring my own supply of treats, pooh bags and water for your baby while on our walk. If your pup has any food sensitivities, I will only use what you supply. I want to respect you and your dog needs. I do not walk with ear buds. My focus is on your dog and ensuring they are happy and safe. For cats, I bring patience, love and attention. Each kitty has their own needs.


20. Stephanie F.


“Steffie took great care of our kitties! We appreciated that she took her time with the visit, sent lots of updates, and was mindful of cleaning up a bit after the cats so we didn’t come home to messy food dishes and litter boxes. Will definitely reach out to her again!”
