First time being away and letting someone new come to the house and take care of our babies, Phyllis, did not disappoint! I felt I could be updated and go out of town for a day and now next time longer! Phyllis did outstanding with both of our dogs. Thank you!

Annabella is great. She picked up a very short notice drop-in visit, and gave me and my wife peace of mind on our weekend trip. She followed every request I had exactly and I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a sitter!

Amanda was a great sitter, and I really appreciate that she was available to sit for me pretty last minute when she'd never met us before. She was happy to arrange a meet and greet for the next day and she quickly impressed both the cat and dog and myself (impressing the cat was particularly noteworthy!). She was always quick to respond, very responsible, and happy to use the reference document she was given. I'd would absolutely be interested in having her sit for us again.

Indiana was fantastic. I needed a sitter last minute and so thankful Indiana was available. I could trust her with my two fur babies and in my home. She took pictures during her visits so I could see they were happy and well cared for when I was away. Your fur babies are in good hands!

About: We have experience providing pet care for a variety of dogs, including short visits to let them out and extended stays while their owners are away. Whether it’s a quick check-in or a multi-week dog-sitting arrangement, I take pride in being dependable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs and routine. We currently own an energetic dog who loves people, pets, and anything in between. Me and my husband are currently home full time and can provide ample attention, love, and snuggles with your pet! We have plenty of time for daily walks as well. We have a fenced in yard with plenty of room for your pup to run around. We also have a friendly husky mix with a ton of energy who can keep your dog busy.

We came into town from LA for a wedding and Rebecca took care of my sweet girl like she was her own! Best idea ever to book time with her! In unfamiliar settings it was great to know that my pup was in caring and good hands, if we come back Rebecca will be seeing Wynn again!

About: My love for animals started at a young age! My mom and I were apart of an organization that transported dogs from kill shelters in the South to non-kill shelters in New York. I have 5 dogs, a horse, and a rabbit. I previously worked at a boarding facility for cats and dogs. I currently work as a vet assistant under Mission Pet Health. I am a junior at VSU and a first year student at Penn Foster to become a veterinary technician. I am dedicated to helping, improving, and supporting the level and quality of care that my clients need! I currently work part time as a veterinary assistant. I have a flexible schedule where I can assist clients with pet-sitting. I am available on weekends and holidays as well! I do not plan on bringing other dogs in my house because I have 5 dogs already, however the high quality of care that I provide for my own dogs will reflect the care that I provide for others!

About: I've been dog sitting since covid; things have changed but not the love for animals. Since my start I've dog sat for a wide varity of dogs. Puppies, oldies, big, small. Some requiring a lot of attention to help distract them, some that just sit by the door waiting for their pawrents to come home. From medications to special diets, specific schedules and give attention if you have the extra time. I will treat your dog as my own! Something you can count on is they will be loved and well taken care of. Pet care is my top priority. Making sure they are fed on time and they get plenty of play time and walks while you are gone. I do currently work but my schedule is constantly changing so I have a lot of freedom to change it as needed. I unfortunately can't accept pets into my home as I don't currently live alone. But I'm more than willing to stay over whenever you need me to.

About: I have taken care of dogs ranging from 10 pounds to 110 pounds my entire life. I have owned chihuahua dachshund mix, akitas, huskies, and German shepherds; so I understand big breeds as well as smaller ones. I have helped family members and neighbors with their dogs growing up with house sitting and dog walking. I know how important furbabies are to families, and treat each and every one as I would my own. I currently work full time with every other Monday off. I go to work about 7 am and get home about 430 pm. I do have volleyball leagues on Monday Wednesday and Friday nights that I am gone for 2 hours between 6-11pm as it varies based on game time. I love to hike and be outside so taking the dogs for walks a non issue. I treat all furbabies as if they were my own. I adjust my schedule accordingly to accommodate the animals as best as I can. I have given insulin shots and medication to animals and am comfortable with it.

About: I have taken care of family and friends’s dogs before. I own a 9mo old male doberman and I’ve taken care of him since he was 2 months old. I potty trained him and we run over a mile every weekday when the weather allows. I used to take care of my mom’s senior schnauzer who used to have frequent seizures during his last year of life. I gave him his medicine and we used to walk twice a day. I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to spend with and to take care of your fur babies. I am mostly available during the weekends and weekdays after 5pm. I might also have some weekdays off, based on my week’s schedule. I have a male 1y/o Dobbie who is very friendly and playful. When in home I can take the dogs to the dog park. Typically, I take the dogs to the dog park 3 times a day. We play and cuddle together on the sofa.

About: I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes! I raised two dogs from puppies to adulthood and trained them myself. At the time I lived on a farm and insured to keep all of my animals (3 dogs included) safe and well behaved. I am absolutely in love with animals (as many should be) and miss having that part of my life. I am a student and work part-time. Due to this, I have to be organized and prepared. As I have worked/lived off the land, I also am not afraid of getting my hands and knees dirty. I look forward to meeting you all and your beautiful fur babies! I am currently working part time and take classes purely online. This gives me a mostly free schedule and the availability to take care of your animals! I believe a dog's comfort is top priority. I always aim to respect a dog's boundaries by reading their body language and presenting myself as not threatening.

About: I have grown up with both cats and dogs and currently live in a household with four cats. I have worked at a veterinary clinic for well over 3 years now, so I am comfortable administering medications including liquids, pills and injections. I am knowledgeable about common pet conditions and illnesses as well. I currently work full time but I do go in late/get off early several days during the week plus I don't work Thursdays and only half a day every other Saturday. I will happily take care of your pets days I don't work or before and after my shifts! This of course wouldn't be my first time petsitting in someone else's home that I didn't know well, so I know there are boundaries that are necessary to respect and would never do anything that you have not allowed ahead of time.

Jessica has dropped by on my pupsters on two separate occasions, and I would trust her anytime I need some help. She always provides adorable updates and is communicative. The pups have a great time with her. I will book Jessica everytime if she's available!

When we go out of town, we want to make sure our two cats are checked on by someone who genuinely cares for animals. Caitlin was a wonderful communicator and I didn't have to worry about our boys one bit while we weren't home. I'd be happy to ask for her help with them again, with either our cats or our dogs.
