“Chloe is an excellent dog sitter! She comes on time, makes sure my dog is taken out, and fed. She also walks and plays with her. She is very responsive and will ask if anything is needed. I also like her pricing as it is affordable. I definitely recommend her as a sitter!”

“Becky is great! Super timely, reliable, friendly, and took great care of our dog during her drop ins. She played fetch with Rosie and wiped the mud off of her paws before bringing her back in our house, treating our dog and home as her own :) Would highly recommend Becky!”

About: With over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, I understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and routines. I’ve raised my own dog and cat from puppyhood and kittenhood into healthy, happy adults, and I’ve also cared for the pets of friends, neighbors, and family over the years—ranging from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra support. Whether it’s daily walks, medication administration, special diets, or just lots of love and playtime, I tailor my care to ensure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy in my care. I treat every animal like my own—with patience, attentiveness, and genuine affection. Your pet’s well-being and happiness are my top priorities. Ready to spoil your pets with love, attention, and treats (if allowed)! Pet care is woven into my daily routine. I work from home, which means I’m able to give pets consistent attention, companionship, and care throughout the day—not just during scheduled visits. Whether it’s my own dog and cat or pets I’m caring for, I build my day around walks, feedings, playtime, and snuggles. Being home also means I can keep a close eye on pets, quickly respond to their needs, and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved all day long. Pet care isn’t just something I do—it’s a lifestyle I truly enjoy. In my home, pets have plenty of space to roam, relax, and feel right at home. I have a calm, pet-friendly environment with one gentle dog and one laid-back cat who both get along well with others. While my yard is unfenced, all outdoor time is supervised, and walks are part of the daily routine. I make sure visiting pets get the same love, structure, and attention as my own—whether that’s playtime, cuddles, or just a quiet spot to nap.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and sizes, from high energy pups to calm senior companions. Over the past 7+ years, I’ve helped friends, neighbors, and family by walking dogs, providing overnight care, administering medications, and reinforcing basic commands when needed. I’m attentive to each dog’s personality and routine, whether they need extra exercise, mental stimulation, or just a cozy lap and calm presence. Safety, consistency, and love are my top priorities with every dog I care for. I work from home full-time, which means I have great availability during the day to care for your pets. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting in your home. I’m flexible with scheduling and can easily accommodate midday check-ins, evening visits, or extended stays depending on your needs. For safety, I do not host pets in my home, as I have two cats. However, I provide trusted in-home care at your place, ensuring your pet stays comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow routines carefully and can administer medications, manage crates, or give solo attention if needed.

About: I have taken care of many dogs and cats in my life. I also volunteered at an animal shelter, feeding and playing with cats, feeding and playing with dogs, and feeding and playing with rabbits! I am a full-time teacher, so I have availability in the summer, weekends, and on school breaks. I can do drop in visits and/or walks! When I am going in to other’s homes, I am respectful of their space. I will make sure it is as clean as it was when I arrived.

About: I’ve grown up with animals around me my whole life, whether they be birds, fish, dogs - both small and large- cats, and guinea pigs! I have a love for animals unlike any other and value the importance of providing a clean, safe, and loving environment whether at home or on a walk. Moreover, I’ve lived with senior dogs and cats and am especially mindful of their mobility and assist in the best way I’m able to. I’m happy to do check in visits and dog walking on weekday evenings, after 5pm. I am also free on weekends, whether it be for pet sitting, pet walking, or check ins. I care for pets primarily through the clients home as my own apartment is far too small to house a cat/dog. Since I’ll be in clients home, my priority is not only caring for the pet whether it be following feeding schedules/walking schedules/ etc but also to keep the space I’m in just as clean as when I found it.

“Merry was great with the dogs! First time visiting and walking and they were both very happy.”

“Kate was very attentive to our cat's needs. We really appreciate that Kate went the extra mile to ensure Arthur was happy and kept us posted on how he was doing.”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I grew up with pets and currently have two wonderful dogs of my own. I’ve cared for many pets within my family and circle of friends, and I genuinely love providing patient, attentive care. While I run my own Salon Suite full time, I make room during slower months to care for animals because it’s something I’m truly passionate about. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are always my priority. I’m a full-time hairdresser, but during the summer months, my schedule slows down as many clients travel. This gives me more availability to work part-time as a sitter. I’ve primarily cared for pets belonging to close friends and family, but I’m now excited to offer my services to others who need a trustworthy and caring sitter. With my flexible summer schedule and love for animals, I’m ready to provide reliable, attentive care to new furry friends. Ensuring the safety, comfort, and trust of your pets is my top priority. I personalize each experience based on your specific needs and requests. I’m very flexible with scheduling and am most comfortable providing care in your home, as I currently have two dogs of my own. This allows me to give your pets my full attention in a familiar and stress-free environment. Your peace of mind and your pet’s well-being are always at the center of my care.

About: I have owned and cared for dogs throughout my whole life! Friends and family have relied on me to care for their pets (dogs and cats) while they're at work or on vacation.

I love animals and will take care of your pets like they're part of my family! I'm currently a full time stay at home mom! So I am home all day to love on and attend to your furry baby! Pets are allowed on the furniture and have potty breaks every couple of hours, or as frequently as they need. I have a yard that is not fenced in. I do however have a run in the yard, so your dog can hook up to that or remain on the leash in the yard. There are also plenty of nature trails right near my house that I like to take walks on with furry friends when the weather permits! I am happy to do day visits to your house to care for any and all of your pets. I am also happy to care for your dog in my home overnight.
