“Courtney is excellent! She was awesome with our kitties and also great at communicating with us. She made it easy for us to be away. We'll definitely be using her again and recommend her with no hesitation!”
“As a nervous cat mom, I was worried about finding someone I could trust to care for Daisy. Jenny put me at ease immediately when we met and shared stories about her own cats I could relate to. I felt comfortable leaving Daisy knowing Jenny would take good care of her. Her notes about her visits were so helpful and Daisy was well fed and cared for when I returned. This was a wonderful experience for both Daisy and I.”
“Ali was an excellent pet sitter. Pictures everyday, and my pet was very comfortable with her. Very responsible and took care of everything. Took notes on first meeting showing conscientiousness to remember everything. Will use again.”
“We appreciate Gabbi coming over to our house and taking care of all the kitties we have. Special thanks for keeping both litter boxes clean as our cats grow senior. She also took in the deliveries. Will definitely recommend and reach out again.”
“Crystal has been an amazing sitter while I’ve been out of town for work. Great communication, sent pictures and kept me updated on everything going on when she arrived and left my house. She took excellent care of my three dogs, including my senior pup who needs a little extra attention. She went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and well cared for while I was away. I highly recommend her for all your pet sitting needs!”

About: My name is Brooke and I've been an avid animal lover for as long as I can remember.

I offer in-home pet sitting to ensure your furry friends can remain in familiar surroundings while receiving the love and attention they deserve.

About: I have loved animals my whole life and decided to become a fur mama 9 years ago. I have 2 dogs, 2 cats and 2 fish. I have no problem walking, bathing, feeding or crating your pets as I have a lot of experience with my own. I promise to love and care for your fur babies as I would my own🥰 I work from home, so I have free time to visit and play with your pups! My work schedule is flexible, so I can make myself available any day of the week. I do have a lot of experience with crate training from my own fur babies, so I can easily crate your pups if need be. I can take care of all of your pet care needs while you are away whether that be a bath or long walk.
About: I’ve had animals of my own since I was little. Growing up I would often pet sit for family. More recently, I’ve rescued two cats within the past 3 years. They’re my world! I’ve recently started pet sitting for my friend on occasion and wanted to find more pet sitting opportunities because I enjoy it so much! I work from home Monday-Friday 8-5 with a lunch break from 12-1. However, I work at my own pace so I am able to leave if needed. I also work a part time job on the weekends where the hours vary. I’ll always be available after 6pm. I pay close attention to detail specific to each pet since each pet has their own set of needs. I like getting to know their personalities and earning their trust. I understand that pets are an extension of the family and I respect them as such. I also understand the worry of leaving your pets at home and the separation anxiety that pet and owner can experience, so I always offer pictures of your pets so you don’t feel like you’re missing out on much!
