“Catherine has been absolutely amazing while taking care of my cats! From the start, she was incredibly communicative and reliable, providing detailed daily updates that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She took the time to play with them, made sure they ate well, and was very observant of their behavior—something I really appreciated. It’s clear she genuinely cares and goes the extra mile. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter.”

“Andrew stayed in our home for a week He took good care of the litter boxes snd was respectful of the space. His very laid back, “chill” demeanor was perfect for our 2 cats.

“Donna was great. Extremely communicative with us and, most importantly, attentive and loving to our senior cat. I trust her in the house and she was kind enough to go out of her way to scavenge for a package that went missing that was said to have been delivered in our absence. We're so happy we found her and will continue to use her as long as we can!”


About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. From energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra patience and care, I tailor my approach to each pet’s needs. I’m confident in handling feeding routines, administering medication, and maintaining a calm, safe environment, whether during walks, playtime, or overnight stays. What sets me apart is my attention to detail and commitment to each pet’s well-being. I treat every dog as if they were my own, ensuring they feel comfortable, engaged, and loved while you’re away. I’m also highly dependable, responsive, and respectful of your home and your pet’s routine. I currently work part-time, which allows me flexible availability to provide quality pet care. I’m available for dog walking and sitting before 4 PM and after 7 PM from Monday to Thursday, and on Fridays & weekends, I’m free before 1 PM and after 5 PM. This schedule ensures I can give your pet focused attention during these times while fitting care reliably into my day. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment that respects their routine and space. Whether I’m walking your dog or staying overnight, I follow all your instructions carefully, from feeding and exercise to medication and playtime. I maintain open communication with you throughout the care period, providing updates and photos to keep you connected. As a dog walker, I always make sure that leashes and harnesses are secure, stay aware of surroundings, and ensure your dog is safe and happy during every outing. For overnight stays, I treat your home with respect and maintain a clean, quiet atmosphere so your pet feels secure and relaxed while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities, and I strive to build trust with both you and your furry friend through responsible, loving care.

“Michele was a wonderful, tentative, and flexible caretaker for my pet. She was easy to communicate with and very accommodating of my constraints, i felt safe leaving my cat in her care and will 100% rebook next time i go out of town!”


About: I believe in maintaining your pet's routine as closely as possible, minimizing stress and making their time without you feel seamless. I'm not just a sitter; I'm a dedicated, compassionate companion who genuinely loves animals and treats every pet as if they were my own. As a teacher, my summers are completely free, making it the perfect time to dedicate myself to pet care. I live only a half block from a large park and am very close to the lake, which is ideal for long walks. I genuinely love walking, so integrating multiple walks throughout the day for your dog is a pleasure, not a chore. This prime location also offers easy access to plenty of green space for playtime and exercise. Services include feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box/cage cleaning, medication administration, and plenty of cuddles. I'll also bring in your mail and water plants, giving you complete peace of mind while you're away.

“I lucked out when I found and booked Mira. She was very responsive and on time, took great care of my two cats (including one who needs injections every 12 hours) and kept in constant communication. I would not hesitate to recommend her!”

“Michelle did a great job checking on my cat! She kept me updated throughout with pictures and details on her overall health and demeanor. She must be a cat whisperer because she was able to befriend my shy kitty by the end of a few days!”
