“Angela did an excellent job taking care of my two cats, one of them requiring two pills per day for his GI lymphoma. She even took care of a perishable delivery which came for me while I was gone. I recommend Angela highly.”

“Tisha was superb! She was scheduled drop-in services twice a day, primarily to feed our fur babies. We appreciate her great communication and daily pics requested. During our meet and greet, she asked if there was anything else she could. She went above our expectations. We highly recommend Tisha and will definitely use her again.”

“I was very pleased to have Katie take care of my cat while I was on a recent week long trip. She provided regular check ins, photos, and left everything neat and tidy. My dog sadly passed away the day before my trip and Katie was accommodating in changing the drop in schedule. I’ve already booked Katie for another pet sitting.”

Lisa M.

“Dani is the best sitter a cat mom can ask for. She took amazing care of our two boy cats, letting the shy one get accustomed to her at his own pace and making sure the naughty one didn’t make our house too messy. Will definitely book again!”

About: I absolutely ❤️ animals and have "always" had pets in my life from the very beginning. I've cared for SO many different animals in my life; such as: dogs, cats, bunnies, turtles, fish, etc. Over my adult years, I've cared for friends and family members pets when needed. 5 years back, I took on the responsibility of caring for grandpa's dog due to his increasing illness. Bottom line, I love animals and want them all to get the love and attention that they want and deserve whether from their parent/parents or from myself in the short amount of time they grace us with in this world. I'm currently a freelancer, so I make my own schedule. Thus, I can move things around to better fit the needs of you and your fur babies if needed. Then, I don't travel much and can be there for those who do. Safety is of the utmost importance to me because it's what I'd want for all my babies, weather it's my 2 legged or my 4 legged child. I'd make sure things that may be harmful are always put up and put aways. Before walking, I'd make sure the area is safe and animals are always leashed up for the entire walk.

About: All animals tend to love me, I have not met a animal that has never liked me, even the most timid animals feel comfortability when come in contact with me I do online schooling, so dog walking would be the best side hussle to take on to earn that extra money on my own time. I care for pets like any other owner would, which is feeding, playing and walking. May even bathe them if they are needed after playing or walking

About: I've taken care of animals for over 10 years. I have a 13 year old Shetland Sheepdog myself and I often pet sit for my daughter's 80 pound Bernese Mountain Dog. Throughout the years, I have pet sit many of my friend's dogs while they are traveling. And have even brought strays home until we reunite them with their families or bring them into the shelter. We've even nursed an injured squirrel that we found in our backyard back to health! All in all, I am very experienced when it comes to pet sitting. I would love to have the honor to pet sit your fur babies! I am currently working part-time 1 day out of the week, and my daughter also works from home so we have lots of time to care for and play with your fur babies! We have a fenced backyard where your fur baby can play, and I also have a very mellow 13 year old Sheltie that can keep your pet company! We also have several baby fences where we can fence off a certain area for your pet if wanted!

About: I have owned dogs and cats since I was 10 years old. I have been dog sitting for our neighbors and friends for the past 12 years. I am experienced with handling dogs of different sizes and temperaments. I am used to medicating pets, both my own and for the ones I am temporarily taking care of. I have volunteered with the Humane Society at different stages in my life and have fostered dogs and cats with them. I am now in a situation where I have a house and yard big enough to enjoy the company of more dogs or cats. I love animals and have two dogs and a cat. I work from home and can devote 100% attention to the animals I am taking care of. I work from home at least 4 of 5 days. I go on 30-45 minute walks twice every day and my puppies get access to our yard throughout the day. For cats they have access to a separate area of the house that has doggie gates, in case they want their alone time. I have a fenced yard that the puppies have access to during the day. They are never left outside unattended and will be always accompanied by a human. I also have doggie crates and beds inside the house if that's what the puppy prefers. For cats they have access to a separate area of the house that has doggie gates, in case they want their alone time.

“Liz is so great! She’s warm and friendly and adores animals! She was patient and kind with our somewhat nervous dog and our dog was able to warm up to her. I’ll definitely use her again!”
