“Emily is the greatest! She is very attentive to our kitty’s needs and goes above and beyond to let us know how he is doing. She sends lots of pics and lets us know what he’s been up to. You can tell he thoroughly enjoys when she comes by to visit and she is extremely helpful with any odd requests we have. Thanks Emily!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10. I’ve been training dogs for eight years. I personally have a reactive dog back home, so I am happy to work with dogs that are more on the reactive side. I do behavioral training and performance/trick training. I did four so I have experience with obedience, rally, showmanship, and agility. I am used to handling multiple dogs. I personally have three back home. I’ve done work with therapy dogs. I did work with the vet clinic, so I’m used to giving medication’s orally or through injection. I’m happy to do spa days too, clipping nails, brushing teeth, grooming/brushing, and baths. I am also certified in canine CPR and first aid. I also have a lot of experience with other animals, such as goats, sheep, horses, reptiles, rabbits, rodents, Amphibians, and birds. My weekends are pretty open so I’m able to spend a lot more time with animals on the weekends. I would be able to run over before class especially Monday Wednesday Friday when I don’t start till 11 and I can go over after class that ends at two. Tuesdays and Thursdays I have class till later, but will still be able to go and check on the animals and spend time with them. I will always make sure the animals is in a safe environment, staying on top of schedules and following any house rules there might be.

“Allison was so amazing with my cat Gatsby! She’s a great communicator and sent very thorough updates. I can tell Gatsby really enjoyed her company and it certainly made leaving him less stressful for me. Would love to have her watch him again in the future. Thank you, Allison!”


About: I've been around animals since I was young, and have such a passion for them! I worked with animals in a professional setting for over 5 years, and stopped due to having a baby. So, now, I want to translate that professional and personal experience into a positive experience for you! I've done everything from drop-in care, staying overnight, walks, basic training, and just loving on any pet you may need me to take care of for you. I have experience with all breeds extra small to extra large, puppies, adult dogs, seniors, and special needs dogs. I'm more than happy to do a meet and greet beforehand to make sure I'm a good fit! And if I'm not I'll totally understand! You deserve the person who suits your needs best! I'll happily take pictures and keep you updated as well! I hope you'll consider me for you, your pet(s), and peace of mind 🙂 I'm currently a stay at home mom so my schedule is open and free! The only thing that would come up is someone booking before you. My daughter has me up between 6-7 AM and I don't ususally go to bed until 11 PM (my own doing lol). So I'm a great fit if you need a last minute animal caregiver! I will abide by whatever you want for your pets. Crate, out, walks, or playtime in the yard! In my home I do have my 6 month old daughter (who is fearless around any sized dog) and a cat! I can watch your pets in my home but those two things must be accounted for

About: I have had 5 dogs since becoming an adult. I am patient and have raised two puppies adopted from shelters. I now have a senior dog and consider it a privilege to know and love pets of all variety. I work from home so I’m able to take pets for a walk anytime and let them out frequently. My pets come first and add so much joy to my life . I have a privacy-fenced yard and nearly a half acre yard for plenty of space for your pet to explore and play. I ensure the animals always have access to clean, cold water and am able to take them out as often as needed.


“Phenomenal! I had a lot of anxiety about leaving my kitties for a whole week. I read all the reviews and Hannah seemed to fit the bill perfectly. My cats are healthy and happy because of all the attention that Hannah was able to give them. I am so thankful!”


“Jazmin watched our two cats for a week. Each day I received multiple photos of them as well detailed accounts of how much they are and their overall activity level. She communicates amazingly and is always quick to respond. Will definitely be booking in the future. And my cats loved her!”


About: I adore all our furry friends and I am a reliable pet sitter for your family pet. Enjoy a peace of mind while you are away. I am a work-from-home mom of 3 teenage kiddos. My schedule is very open, which allows me to take extra time to care for any animal's needs. I have a great routine of feeding, exercising, and letting them go outside. It is important for our furry friends to feel calm while they are in a new environment.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since my parents got me my first dog at the age of 5. Taking her for walks, playing with and feeding her every day were a highlight of my childhood. When I got older I started pet sitting and house sitting for friends and neighbors. I love animals and I take great care of them. My job is in six hour shifts, four days/week, so I’ll be able to check on your fur babies frequently. I’d love the opportunity to take care of your pets while you travel, check in on them during the day and take them on fun walk adventures. I am always conscientious about safety and security. I’ll make sure your pets stay safe even if they are escape artists! I’ll follow your directions for care, only feed them what they’re supposed to eat, and give them all the cuddles and pets they could want!

“Kendall did an amazing job! She was very communicative, sent pics of our pups, and just all around made us feel so comfortable leaving our pups in her care. We would definitely use Kendall again, the pups loved her and so did we!”


“We are grateful for Kaleah, especially with her knowledge being a vet tech. Our kitty needs a pill each day and it was very evident that her added experience and skill gave us confidence. She communicates great details from her visits that also made us smile. Great sitter!!! Thanks Kaleah!”


About: I’ve had a pets my whole life, and I absolutely love animals. Every year I take care of malemutes, one of the most aggressive dogs you can own and they took on their backs when they see me. I love learning about each different breed and how they are with people. I will never not own a dog in my life because they are my furry friends you can live without. I am currently full time at home so my schedule is very open to take on any pet care needs. I will take one pet at a time unless I know dogs are very friendly with other pets and children. My dog poppy is a very energetic rat terrier mixed blue heeler. She loves spending time with everyone and everything! She loves making new friends and I have the environment if needed to watch your dog at my place with a fenced in yard and a playful companion.

I am also able to care for your dog(s) in any way I can at your home.

“Sara was very good . She took care of Rex well and informed me each day about how he was doing. I would use her services again and would most definitely recommend her to anyone that asks. My dog grew to like her and I’m sure he will be happy to see her again when that time comes.”

About: My name is Joslyn, and I am a kennel-free, at home pet sitter with 9 years professional experience, 16 years all together. I board 3 -4 pups at a time and am considered small capacity. I take care of pets full-time. I have a family background of free-range cattle ranching & have raised, loved & cared for a variety of pet species- from guinea pigs to exotic parrots. Volunteering at several rescues, and helping raise several puppy litters, I have dedicated most of my life to learning about the spectrum of dog temperaments and behavior! I treat pets as if they our own, because in those moments, they really are! I love reassuring and bonding with animals. My effort is making them feel like they are on vacation themselves. I have a learned and experiential understanding of dog behavior. I specialize in a variety of dog energy levels and reactivities, including; rescues, elders, high energy dogs, hunting dogs, and puppies. I monitor constantly for their emotional states, taking note of confidence, over stimulation, and stress. This eye for behavior assures that I am in full control and always know where an emotional state is headed in a pack dynamic. I take away triggers like shared meal times with dogs from different families, with dedicated areas for feeding and bone chewing. Pets from different families are never left alone together or left alone outside. In the summer I have a dog pool, combination dog ball pit with XL BPA free commercial grade balls, a doggy sprinkler that shoots tennis balls! Backyard is shaded and grassy with a tree tire swing, a tree hanging bungee doggy toy, and a dog tunnel! The ball pit is indoors during the winter for fun :) Google webpage: https://maps.app.goo.gl/jYNFRALpE7P1HVpe6?g_st=ipc Pets must not have severe separation anxiety and be able to be left alone for up to 4 hours. Pets from different families are kept in separated areas of the home when I am away, or in a crate if they are trained. I have an XL dog crate that is 4x3 ft and 3.5 ft tall for ease of transportation. I adhere as close to your babies routine and schedules as possible! I want your animals to feel spoiled and absolutely adored, especially if they have anxiety from being away from their moms and dads. It is their vacation too! I take pride in so many of my clients pets turning to come back into my home instead of their car they had so much fun here! 😂 🔐Safety: All my clients pups are screened for friendliness, aggression, and severe separation anxiety. Rescues are allowed on a meet and greet basis, referencing their history and anxiety levels. I take exceptional care to help rehabilitate them to gain trust with other dogs and new environments, safely. Please ask me for my reviews on my rescue care! I pride myself on sending home rescues better than when they came, in terms of making stride in their confidence and sociability. It’s probably my favorite part of the job. I do not board pets with history of blatant aggression. These pets will need to be boarded by themselves, and book up all 2 slots. There are exceptions to pets who have been fully rehabilitated. This is the same for pets who cannot be left alone. I spend a lot of time with introductions within the pack, using separate areas of the house connected by doggy gates for initial smelling, neutral sidewalk introductions, or backyard introductions depending on everyone’s comfort level. Pets who pose a risk of running away / backing out of their leashes are equipped with an additional slip lead connected to their collar or harness with a carabiner. Please inform me of this behavior so I can guard against it. 🏡 Environment: I allow free roam in my 2 bedroom home. When sitting multiple pets, I have my home separated into 3 different areas separated by doggy gates, when necessary. I use exercise and play as a way to let dogs release anxieties from being away from home, followed by rest times to bring down their nervous system back into “rest & digest.” These areas of separation are the hallway and bedroom, living room, and kitchen / dining which are all viewable from the living room- the main area is the home. Pets have the ability to openly interact throughout the entire home while granting them their own space, for feeding time, and their bone / lick mat time. (When applicable) This means we vary the day between free-roam, their designated areas, and time rotating them between the 3 areas so that they get plenty of stimulation and down time, when necessary. Most pets I take in are comfortable sharing the same space. But low- confidence pups, or elders, might not want to be around dogs of more extroverted or higher energy nature all the time. 🌳 The backyard is 1000 sq ft, 6ft fence with no holes. It is 70% shaded by a large tree with a tire rope swing. It is nice and grassy. 🧼 I disinfect my floors, and everything nose height including baseboards, walls, cabinets, and furniture with a medical grade disinfectant between clients. I have never had a case of illness / kennel cough at my home.

About: I’m a super outgoing, caring person. I love spending my free time helping others with their pet needs, if it’s feeding, walking, playing outside, or taking them to parks. I work 8-4 Monday-Friday but have all the free time after to take care of your pets needs. And free on the weekends to give them extra love. I definitely make sure your house is clean and taking care of. Making sure your furry animals are safe from objects and the outdoors at all times and their needs are met.

“Jenna and I have been best friends since 5th grade (we've known each other since 1st grade), she has always been an animal lover, that's why we got along so well! Jenna can just read dogs like they're talking to her, even from a young age she was helping her father train their hunting dogs. She has a well trained 100 lb mutt that I adore and he adores my dogs too, which Jenna helped train. I know she also does professional training now, no one is surprised that's what she wants to do with her life. I can count on her to treat all my animals with love and positive care”

Amanda R.Star Sitter
“When I give my cats their flea/tick medication, I have to separate them for a 24 hour period to ensure they don’t lick the medicine off each other. It’s quite stressful to try and separate them in the same house so I had Amanda care for one of them during that 24 hour period and she did such a good job! She gave my cat lots of space to calm down and get comfortable and eventually my shyest kitty felt safe enough to come out of hiding for some pets and attention. Amanda was great with her and sent me regular updates and even pictures so I always knew how she was doing. I was maybe more nervous about the separation than my cat was but Amanda made the whole experience so much easier on both me and my cat. Highly recommend her if you need someone to watch one of your fur babies!”

Joslyn K.
Star Sitter

“Joslyn has cared for my pets for 2+ years now on and off and is by far my favorite caretaker. I have 3 cats and 2 dogs and she treats them all as her own. Playing, walking, feeding, loving, she does it all and my pets are obsessed with her (Haha). She even alerted me when my puppy needed a trip to the vet and was right on with her suspicion of the problem. Can't say enough. The kind of caretaker you don't have to worry about. 10/10.”


Abbey G.
“Abbey has been a reliable and trustworthy pet caregiver for my family over the past several years. She is always timely, responsible, and, most importantly, treats my dog like he is her own.

Her professionalism and dedication give me peace of mind when I'm away, knowing my furry friend is in the best hands. I highly recommend Abbey to anyone in need of a caring and dependable pet sitter.”
