“Denise is the absolute best!!! We adore her. She loves our kitties as her own and she goes above and beyond every single time!!! I would give her more than 5 stars if I could!!!”
“Thank you, Kirsten, for looking after my dear companion in my absence. The daily notes and images really helped me feel at ease. Kirsten is personable, competent and, above all, reliable. My kitty warmed to her immediately.”
“Couldn’t be happier that we found Justin to hang with and care for our pup, Sango, and our two cats (Sushi and Nori). It’s a weight off our shoulders while out of town knowing that he is watching and caring for our pets.”
“Lauren was absolutely fantastic caring for our 3 female cats! Before we even officially booked, she was incredibly responsive, came by to do a meet and greet, and was so kind and warm. We felt so comfortable leaving the cats and our home in her care - great communication, kept their routines (& didn’t think all my notes were crazy), and we loved our photo updates ☺️ The biggest green flag? Our cats were just as relaxed and happy as normal when we got home - it’s like they barely noticed we were gone because Lauren cared for them so wonderfully! Will absolutely be booking Lauren in the future and HIGHLY recommend her to anyone needing your fur babies to be truly loved and cared for while you’re away!!”
“Emilee was thorough, detail-oriented, and her notes for Rover card were quite warmhearted. She was flexible with my needs which I REALLY appreciated. So glad she kept the kids safe and sound!! I will not hesitate to book her again : ) THANK YOU SO MUCH.”
“I recommend Jessie with the highest of praise! She took wonderful care of my two cats. She looked after my boys while I was away for my honeymoon, providing plenty of photos and updates. She is thorough, kind, and kept the cats rooms super clean and the boys happy! She went above and beyond.”
“Kiara was available for us when our pet sitter quit last minute. We were across the country, and Kiara help ease the stress. We were having to have a friend help but thankfully Kiara was available to take over last minute the next morning. She made sure our dogs were taken care of sent adorable photos. She was thoughtful and always considered their well being. We would definitely use Kiara again!”
About: I have four pets of my own and know how challenging it can be to find care you can trust. I have experience taking care of cats and dogs of all ages, and am adept at giving medicines, walking, house sitting, and engaging play. I value your animals as I expect my sitters to value my own.! I am a teacher Monday-Friday during the school year from 7am-2:30 pm, but I am happy to do drop in visits before and/or after school during the week and on the weekends I have full availability. I do offer house sitting as long as any family is ok with their pet/s being alone during the day while I am at my other job. On the weekends they would have my full attention unless I am at a drop in. Summers I have wide open availability. I am happy to visit your pet as often and long as needed during those time frames. Because I have two large dogs of my own, I prefer to care for pets in their own homes. I provide feeding, walking, medicine-giving, litter box cleaning, stimulating play, and really any specific needs your pet may have.
About: I’ve cared for pets my entire life! I’ve grown up in a house full of cats but we’ve also always made room for our dogs as well! I think I’m a great pet sitter because i’ve had plenty of experience caring for all animals alike. I’ve sat my aunts turtles and puppies, and my neighbors fish and reptiles. I can’t wait to get to know your babies! I’m currently working at a preschool part time but looking for another position. In the meantime I’d love to explore some of my other passions, one of those being pet care! right now my schedule makes me available anytime and when i do work for the school it’s from 2pm-6pm! All of your babies lives matter to me! I am fully committed to doing anything and everything I can to make sure your little one is safe and taken care of!
About: With 9 years of hands on experience caring for pets, I bring a flexible and intuitive approach to pet care that meets each pup where they are. Whether your dog needs a calm gentle companion, or a high-energy play, I adapt to their personality and needs. I have a little bit of experience with obedience training with puppies and can also care for senior dogs. I am currently only offering boarding, walks and drop-in visits but I am committed to making your dog feel safe, loved and right at home - even when you’re away! I am a recent graduate of UTC and just started working for Unum. I work from home most days but have to go into the office on Wednesdays and Thursdays! I’m available anytime that I’m not in the office as my at-home work hours are flexible. When caring for pets in your home, I first like to read the pets profile so I can see if there are any special instructions/needs that I need to know about. I offer a variety of services so how I care for your pet is based on what I am booked for. For walks, I like to find a safe/familiar place to walk them, like your neighborhood. I’ll usually walk them for the full amount of time and make sure they have water when we are finished. When dog sitting, I try to make sure I follow all instructions left by you, the owner. I usually make sure your pet has food, water, walks, and lots of cuddles/play time!
“This is the first time we have used Candace and she did a spectacular job! She had 2 elderly, fussy cats to take care of - both on meds. We couldn’t be happier with the care she gave them!!”
About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals for as long as I can remember! I love all animals, and will take care of your pet like they’re my own :) I am currently a full time college student with a flexible schedule that allows me to follow my passion: animals! I am able to visit your pet however frequently you would like. I provide the best care possible! I have taken care of high energy puppies to senior dogs with medical issues. I treat all animals like I would treat my babies (my dogs lol) and understand how important routines and special instructions are!

Bonnie F.
“Bonnie is my go to person when we are out of town… or in town. She has helped with all of our dogs (and cats) over the years. She has given my dogs medications, gone to our house for multiple feedings a day, and even brought my dogs to her place to watch them while we are on vacation. I know they are taken care of, safe, and comfortable with her. My skiddish Aussie isn’t even skiddish around her, which says a lot. 10/10 would recommend.”
Tiffani m.
“Tiffani is probably the best pet sitter I've ever gotten by far. My dog Angus can be quite shy around strangers, but he opened up to her so quickly. There was absolutely no issues during my time away and she even mentioned that he started to lay and push on her which Angus rarely ever does to new people. I've had her back to watch him 5 or 6 more times since then and I have nothing but praise for the care she puts in for my furry guy. 5 stars all the way around!”
