“Audrey was fantastic with Dot and our home! She was flexible and accommodated us relatively last minute in her schedule. She communicated well and adapted kindly to our changing schedule. Dot would love to see her again, and so would we!”
“Once again Faith helped us out by staying at the house with our 3 fur babies! She even cleans up the dog poop after them and leaves the house clean! She is definitely our go to person! We love that she spends a lot of time with our girls.”
“Mark was amazing with our two dogs. Our dogs went on several long walks, enjoyed playing in the back yard with their Mark’s dog and loved all the lap time and belly rubs that Mark gave them. Mark was great with sending pictures and videos of our puppies while we were gone, too. We’ll definitely pick Mark again and we’d highly recommend Mark to you.”
“Kent is great! My dog is really anxious and has a lot of energy. He doesn’t warm up to people quickly but they became best buds right away. My dog was exhausted when I got home. The last time I had to use a dog sitter my dogs eating habits would change and showcase a lot of separation anxiety every time! This time I returned to a happy well adjusted puppy who had a great time with his best friend. My house was spotless when I returned home as well. Thanks!”
“Cierra was great! She arrived at the time she was scheduled to and took good care of my dogs. She stayed over night and sent me updates and photos of the dogs during her visit. When I got home the house was just how I left it and the dogs were very happy. She did an excellent job and I look forward to using her services again! Thank you, Cierra!”
“Linsee was amazing with my fur babies, Niko and grace adored her and her son. They gave them lots of attention and love while I was gone, and it was so no nice leaving them knowing they would be greatly cared for. Definitely recommend booking with Linsee”
“Sierra watched out two dogs for the first time and we could not be happier! We received updates and pictures of our pups and felt very comfortable having her watch them! We will be using Sierra again!”
“Everything was great. Beth did a great job. She sent me photos and updates. Sophie looked happy when we got home. The house was in order, everything was clean and even the parcels were inside. I really appreciate her service and highly recommended her as sitter.”
“Cassidy was amazing!! She sent pics, videos and took my baby to a game and the park!! She is a amazing sitter!! So happy to have found her!! Definitely will be booking with her again!!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs for two years now, from the big and strong pit bulls to the little shih Tzus. I can adapt and learn from any behavioral your pet may have, and work with it. I have been told how my kind actions and words help the experience of a new dog meeting me to open up. I know how to calm aggressive or hyper dogs without need of harsh words or abusive actions. I am completely free to take care of your pet(s), no matter the day or time. I am very flexible, so if you were to have a cancelation I will most likely be able to move around it. As I had said in a previous statement, I have pets of my own! While they are not aggressive, I am not able to keep any other pets at my home. At your home, I will be sure to keep track of your pet(s) at all times, making sure they are safe and comfortable. I will clean up after any messes they make, being sure to leave your place spotless as it had been when I arrived.
About: My family grew up with a cat only because my brother snuck it into the house one day. My siblings and I always pet sat for others though. I was lucky enough to take care of my roommates pitbull when I got older. My wife and I now have 3 dogs, 2 cats, and lots of plants. We love when our cane corsos, pitbulls, german shepards and kitten cousins come over. I will love your pets like my own. Whether that pet be a dog, cat, snake, plant, or other living thing. I’m a school nurse, so I am available early mornings and afternoons. I also have availability on lunch breaks and weekends. Feel free to reach out to see how I can accommodate your schedule. I work in the most trusted profession. A profession of caring and empathy. I will follow your rules for your pets. All pets outside will be monitored at all times. Common sense will be followed when opening doors to prevent escaping pets. Baby gates, doors, and leashes will be used as needed. The house is big enough to accommodate most pets. Meet and greets are required to make sure your pets get along with my pets when staying at my house.
About: I previously worked for my local humane society for over a year, caring for a wide variety of animals ranging from young kittens and puppies to senior pets. I also have experience with birds, rats, and rabbits. During that time, I cared for animals with special needs, administered daily medications, and worked with pets who were highly reactive or needed extra patience and understanding. I'm also a proud foster fail—I adopted both a tiny kitten I fostered at just a few weeks old and an older, grouchy cat who stole my heart. I work part-time and am very flexible. Caring for animals fits naturally into my routine, and I love spending quality time making sure pets feel happy, safe, and loved. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. I make sure the environment is clean, secure, and comfortable, with spaces where pets can relax and feel safe. I keep toxic items and hazards out of reach and follow any specific routines or rules you share. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and your pet’s routine, from feeding schedules to favorite toys and walking routes. I always keep a close eye on pets, use positive reinforcement, and take extra care with animals who have special needs, medications, or reactivity.
“Mikaila was a true God Send. She was kind, gentle, and attentive. Paloma and I are beyond grateful for being able to connect with her. I was close to giving up on Rover due to bad experiences, but meeting Mikaila and connecting her with my Paloma changed that. Her caretaking and attentiveness allow for the peace of mind and comfort pet owners endlessly search for. Highly recommended”

Animals are welcome to join me in my workplace. I take walks daily and would love to have a pup to walk with.

“Erica is a very mature and responsible woman who stayed in our home for the weekend. She spent a lot of time with Rudy and sent pictures throughout the weekend along with updates. We would highly recommend Erica as a dog sitter.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, I have dog sat for my sisters and friends. I can feed, walk, and bath them. I care for my pets as if there my children and I would do the same for any pet! I got to college online and work a full time job Monday through Friday, when I’m not working I’m home with my pets! They enjoy relaxing with me and my Niko loves car rides! I can do drop in visits and dog walking on weekends any times! Message me and we can definitely work something out! I live in an apartment so I don’t have much of a yard so when it’s not super hot I take Niko on walks let him run around, he enjoys laying outside and chillin. He has so much fluff the heat gets to him ☺️
“Naomi was great with our pups! She also took very good care of our home. The dogs seemed very happy and content when we returned. Very thankful for her care. Will definitely be requesting Naomi's services in the future! Thanks a lot!”
About: Ive taken care of a variety of animals ranging from all sizes & ages of dogs, cats, horses, chickens, rabbits, & guinea pigs. I currently have 2 of my own dogs, that are like my children! I’m able to feed, walk, daily visits, give any necessary medication. I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of free time to care for your animals! I am available both days and nights.

About: Hello and welcome to my page! My pet care experience had begun at the early age of 2 when I had my first best fur friend. He was a grey schnauzer and also mine and my grandma's protector. His name was Buster, but I called him "butt-two" and he lived a very happy and exciting life. At the age of 8 I had gotten two of my very first dogs, Sady and Chloe. They were Jack russells and extremely full of energy! With my mother working and my sisters busy with their friends, I took on full responsibility of them and completely loved it. Shortly after, we added a cat - Harley. Harley was a very loving yet independent cat. I loved her as if she was my own child. She has passed and that was a very tough loss for me. Now, I am without a fur friend and looking to care for any cat or dog to fill in that missing spot in my heart. I am pretty flexible with scheduling and will consider any price changes! If I seem to be a good fit for you, please do not hesitate to send me a detailed message of your pet(s), their health and needs, and the care you're looking to get from me. I am excited and looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you! Currently, I am self employed and working only part time so my schedule is open to book with you and your pets with little notice. (Preferably receive a 1 week notice) When caring for your pets- I love to go for walks with dogs and playing outside with them as much as possible. They will be well fed, groomed, and loved.
