“My dogs are particular hesitant with strangers and as soon as they met Bailey they seemed entranced by her; she was impeccable. My girls seemed to just trust her immediately which is incredible relief for myself. She has a wonderful aura that drew my girls attention to listen and depend on her. Thank you again for coming into our home and helping us learn to trust again.”


“Maureen is the best dog sitter we have ever used. Our dogs are so happy! Maureen also went above and beyond while caring for them and the experience was overall stellar. We received so many high quality pictures of our babies while we were gone and it definitely helped with being homesick. Some of those photos will probably end up framed in our house! She also left a wonderful heartfelt note with dog biscuits and was happy to take care of other things around the house for us during her drop-ins. I have never felt so comfortable and confident that our babies would be cared for well. We will happily book with Maureen again in the future ☺️”

About: Hello, my name is Kristina and I would love to become a pet sitter for you. I grew up in a family where animals were always a big part. From horses to dogs to cats, we always had furry friends around. I also grew up in a family where we were taught to take responsibility and care for our animals so I learned pretty young all the important things related to animal ownership. Some of the skills I possess are the ability to care for both puppies and older dogs. I have owned both and know that each has their own needs. I am also willing to administer medications and am a very observant person so I notice when things may not be quite right. I grew up with a veterinarian in the family and he taught me what to look for and what to do in case there is a problem. My goal is to make the time I spend with your pet comfortable for both them and you. As a pet parent, I know it’s tough to leave your four legged friend behind and I want you to be at ease about it. I currently work full time but work during the day so I have plenty of time during the early mornings and evenings to care for your pets. I would make sure to fit an extra-long play session in at night so that they can wear off that energy. Currently, I am not set up to care for other pets in my home as my older dog prefers her own space. As I know from experience with my own dog, animals are more comfortable in their home because it is more normal. My goal for caring for your animals in your home would be to give them as much normalcy in their routine as I can. I also would respect your home as it can be a bit strange letting someone come into it while you are gone. And of course, I would send as many pictures and updates as you want.

About: Ever since I can remember I have adored animals. I have always been the person who would go over to a friend's house and end up sitting by their pet the whole time! When I became old enough, I started volunteering at my local animal shelter and pet sitting as much as I could. At the shelter, I walked dogs, spent time playing with cats and kittens, and helped clean kennels and cages. I have a senior dog and senior cat that I have had their whole lives so I have extensive experience raising and training pets, as well as experience with senior animals. I also have a rabbit so am familiar with different kinds of pet care as well! I am currently unemployed, though I do have potential offers in the works, so for now I have full availability! I will update my availability as it changes. Due to having 2 senior pets that hate all other pets but each other, I am unable to offer boarding at this time. However, I will provide any sort of care necessary for your pets in your homes! I am very good at following directions if you have a list for me, but I am also good at just knowing what goes into caring for pets, such as watching for potty cues and noticing when they need mental or physical stimulation.

About: I’ve had family pets as long as I can remember, cats and dogs. Currently have the chillest cat I’ve ever seen. The whole family loves animals. I work as a teacher. Weekends are always open. Summer is completely open, home anytime. Great yard for animals to play, no backyard neighbors either 1/2 acre yard. I have a clean and orderly home to easily let pets feel not threatened or overwhelmed. Big back yard and trails, sidewalks to get out on. Park across the street as well. Quiet, secluded neighborhood.

About: I am a parent to 6 cats and 1 dog. I had 3 dogs but 2 recently passed after 12 and 14 years. I love all creatures! I feed the stray cats and opossums in our neighborhood. I work at a special needs/behavioral school and we’re off for the summer. My availability is open and my schedule is flexible. I’m available morning and night. I care for pets with the same love and attention I would give my own. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible whether that means regular walks, feeding times, play sessions, or quiet cuddle time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s space. I stick to their feeding, walking, and medication schedules, and always keep pets company so they don’t feel lonely while their family is away. Communication is key, so I send regular updates and photos to keep you reassured and connected. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and comfort are my top priorities!

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs of every kind since I was 9. Friends, family, neighbors have relied on me to watch, bathe and feed theirs pets. I’m currently not working so I am home all day everyday. I will be starting college soon but it will be online and I can do it from home. I have a friendly dog who can keep your animals company. I also have 2 cats who like dogs and cats. I can always put the cats in their cat room if your dog doesn’t like cats.

About: I have been around animals my entire 33 years of existence. I grew up raising German Shepard's with my dad. I have no problem working on basic commands and potty training. I work full time (occasionally from home), but I am available to run over to let your animals in or out to potty before work and around lunch time. After 6pm & on weekends, I am home all evening/night so I can keep your fur baby comfortable as well. I have a gated area in my front yard for my own friendly fur babies, they can keep yours entertained. :-) We go on frequent walks when the ground is cool.

About: I am well-equipped to care for dogs with unique needs, such as anxiety, special diets, and daily medication. Senior dogs in need of special care. I currently have availability Monday-Sunday. I currently work for a salon as an esthetician part time but I am pretty flexible for the most part. My services include playtime, walks, and complimentary treats for your dogs. Medication administration if needed, Exercise is essential in my care for younger aged dogs, as well as dogs that require special diets.

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and patience I bring to every pup I meet—whether they’re full of puppy energy or enjoying their golden years. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, including senior pups who need a little extra TLC and young puppies still learning the ropes. I’m calm, reliable, and attentive to each dog’s unique needs—whether that means administering medication, reinforcing training routines, or simply being their cuddle buddy while you’re away. I treat every dog like family, because that’s exactly what they are. 🐶🤍 I’m currently working a part-time job at the Dorthy Olson Aquatic Center so I have plenty of time in the morning before I head to work at 11:30, during our breaks, and after work at 7:30 to take care of your pup. I often have full days off where I can spend it loving your dog and taking them on walks. When I care for pets in a client’s home, my top priorities are safety, routine, and respect—for both your pup and your space. I follow your instructions carefully to keep your dog’s schedule consistent and stress-free, whether that’s feeding times, walks, play, or medications. I keep a calm, pet-friendly atmosphere and always ensure doors, gates, and any potential hazards are secured. I understand that letting someone into your home requires trust. I treat your space with the utmost respect—cleaning up after myself and your pet, keeping things tidy, and keeping you updated with regular check-ins and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and in good hands. 🐾

“Shannon was great help with her drop-ins. I can definitely tell that while she was looking after my dog he enjoyed it just as much as she did. Her reports were very detailed and left me at ease while he was in her care. I would definitely recommend her services to anyone in the future!”


About: As someone who grew up with animals in the house, i view cats and dogs as an extension of the family unit. In having grown up with and around both dogs and cats, I have an inside knowledge on what is required to ensure your fur baby feels safe, loved and cared for. I will make it my goal to ensure that my home is a safe haven where your animals see it as a "home away from home". I initially got into pet sitting after having my friends, neighbors, and co-workers, ask me to watch their pets for a few days so that they were able to go on vacation, have a date night, go away for a business trip etc, and from there I've found myself continuing to assist going on over two years. One thing that has compelled me to expand my services has been the cost-to-level-of-care ratio and the hassle that Boarding has had on my parents, co-workers, and friends. As someone who acknowledges the constraints and the need and desire of pet mom and dads when seeking out care for their fur babies, I invite you to book with me so that we can make sure that your pet can feel as if they are at a "home away from home". I work from home and am able to dedicate the time, energy, and care required to take care of animals with a spectrum of needs. Dedicated room for kennels and boarding, fenced-in back yard, safe neighborhood, ability to take extended stays due to a flexible schedule, bathing, walking, and potty training
