“Marie is wonderful and kind. She is very communicative and responsive. Our Victor peed in his crate while alone and she was kind enough to clean it during her visit. She shared a lot of photos. We highly recommend her!”

“We just had another amazing experience with Emily and her stellar cat care! Our cats love her and we know that they are in wonderful hands every time she helps to care for them :)”

“Catie was excellent. We booked last minute for dog-walking, because our regular sitter canceled last minute. Catie met with Gnocchi beforehand and was very professional and reassuring. No issues, always very prompt with check-in notes and photos. Would absolutely book with Catie again.”

“Excellent sitter! I felt so comfortable with leaving my cat with them from the second we met, and I got wonderful updates my whole trip. They were on time every day, and gave my cat the attention he deserves. Would have them watch him every time”

“Jessica made me feel so comfortable leaving my 2 cats home while we were away. I got pictures for every visit and she really allowed me to enjoy my trip without stressing!!”

“Jen was a wonderful cat sitter for my very shy cat, coaxing her out gently each day and helping set routines while I was away for two weeks. Jen is so caring, kind, and helpful — would absolutely recommend!”

“Mary Rose is wonderful! Attentive, went back to our home when we thought one of the cats were locked in bathroom after she left. She gave my oldest cat his seizure medication and fed both of them, changed there water, and vacuumed the extra litter that they continued to kick out of there litter box that was left behind.”

About: I have dog sat my neighbors dog multiple times over the past two years. I have 2 dogs at home and take care of them by walking, playing, feeding, etc. I am a college student and have classes throughout the day. By being able to walk dogs it’ll be a good way to make some money while being able to go to class. I walk them daily, put food their bowls, and play with them. My dogs at home are very energetic so it is constant play and walking.
About: All my life I've loved all animals! (Yes, even bugs)! There was never a time when I didn’t have animals. Since I was 11, I would always dog/cat-sit my aunts and uncles dogs, neighbors and clients animals including hamsters, bunnies, cats, fish, guinea pigs, etc. (I still do). I recently spent the last 3 years working at a farm animal sanctuary. The last nearly 2 of which I worked my way up to being the barn manager for 35 horses, most of which had special needs and required specific medication and supplements. I also walk/sit a few dogs and cats at the moment, as well as some snakes. I’m eager to use this time between jobs right now to make money while doing something I love! I’m currently without a job, so it’s my whole schedule! I’ve been working with animals my entire life, so it’s really a joy to have this time to make money for bills while spending time with animals. I always ensure that their behavior is normal, that they’re not more fatigued than usual, showing signs of pain or unusual aggression, etc. When we’re out walking I always ensure that we’re away from cars and any other sort of hazard. I follow precautions the owners give me, safety is my first priority.
“Jessica was very accommodating with my relatively short notice trip. One of my cats can be very shy but he felt comfortable enough to come for most of her visits. Everything looked great when I returned home. I would definitely use Jessica again!”

I have a dog gate inside my house if needed as well no harmful products near by . Also I have family members who love dogs and will give plenty of love and attention to your pet so they feel cared for. My backyard has a huge dog cage just in case for separation if anything. Lastly I currently have no pets so no jealously will happen.

About: I’ve been an animal-lover since elementary school. I’ve had cats since birth, but at age 8 I saved my money up for a year to buy my own cat and I’ve been taking care of animals ever since. I have experience taking care of cats and dogs of all ages, as well as birds, reptiles, rodents, and aquariums (freshwater, saltwater, and reef.) I even have experience caring for wild animals in a rehabilitation setting, so administering medication or accommodating special needs is no problem! I love finding ways to provide enrichment in your pet’s life. I understand that every animal is different, so I’m happy to get to know your pet’s individual needs and provide plenty of love and patience! I’ll be starting graduate school in the fall, so I’m looking for flexible hours doing things I love! I am available for drop in visits or overnight stays. I’m happy to work with you and be flexible depending on your needs! I would love to spend some time talking with you to understand your pet’s individual needs so that I can provide the best care necessary! I am very patient and caring, so challenging animals are not a problem. If your pet has any special needs I am happy to learn more about what I can do to accommodate for that! I have experience caring for animals in a rehabilitation setting so administering medications or making accommodations for animals is something I’m experienced with!
“Carly is a very professional and caring person. Her love for animals and the care she gives them really shows. The attention she has given Daisy and the updates she gives me daily shows how committed she is to giving the best service possible. I would recommend her to anyone if they need a hard working professional to look after their animal companion.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 14. I have been a walker for other services for over 2 yrs. I've been told that I have a lot of patient with animals and can usually make friends with any animal. I'm currently working at home full time so I'll have plenty of time to take breaks to walk and play with your pet. I like to take walks and stay active, so I wouldn't mind frequent walks. I can crate your dog if needed. I treat every dog as my own with special care and attention. I leave nothing out that could potentially hurt any pet and I follow strict dietary needs for all animals.
