About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for about 10 years, including my own pets as well as pets for friends and family. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, basic grooming, and following care instructions. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like my own. I’m currently a radiology student & work PRN at a hospital as well, so I have flexibility of all kinds of hours during the week and more availability on weekends. I’m happy to discuss scheduling and find something that works well for both you and your pet. I’m very respectful of clients’ homes and follow all instructions closely. I focus on safety, cleanliness, and making sure pets feel relaxed and cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to accommodate specific routines or needs.

Julianna agreed to a last minute house sitting request for our dog Augie, who suffers from separation anxiety. She made it a point to show up early to meet Augie and ensure she understood everything he would need for the evening. Augie loved her right away and Julianna took great care of him, giving him lots of attention and affection. We highly recommend Julianna and will definitely keep her on the top of our list for future sittings!

About: I've taken care of pets since I was a teenager. Pets that belonged to my sister to pets that have belonged to my neighbors. I have experience feeding and walking dogs. I'm currently in between jobs at the moment, but that'll change in a little while. So, take advantage while you can. Of course, when I do get a job, I'll still make time to care for your pet! I'm always dependable to feed your pet on time and walk your pet for however long is needed. I also enjoy playing and interacting with your pet.

I booked Megan for a second time. This time was for a long weekend trip and she was again amazing with my pup. Stuck to his walk and food schedule. Included photos of my pup while I was away. Communication was strong and I didn’t have to worry about anything while on vacation. 100% recommend!

About: Loving, reliable care for your pets - because they deserve the best while you're away! I want you to have one less worry while you’re gone.

Kellie was so great with our boy, Tyson for a weekend. She communicated clearly before the trip, during our trip (we loved the updates!), and after. She was respectful of our home and a perfect house guest. Tyson was immediately comfortable with her and we were so comforted knowing he was not only being taken care of, but really loved on, while we were gone. We will absolutely use Kellie in the future, if possible.

Mikayla was fantastic! She took such great care of our dogs while we were away last week. The girls absolutely loved her — they were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when we got home. She was reliable, communicative, and followed all of their routines perfectly. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. I would definitely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!

About: I have been a dog/cat/house sitter for my family and friends for over 20 yrs. I will take care of your pets like my own I currently have a lot of time on my hands. I had to say goodbye to my dog last year and wanted to help other owners with theirs until I’m ready to adopt one of my own. That’s going to take some time. I’m I will have a lot of fun with pet(s). I enjoy going to the park or a hiking trail or staying in the backyard. They will be cared for and receive many hags and kisses. I understand the importance of a routine for some pets and will do whatever I can to keep them safe and happy.

About: The first time I had to pickup dog poop, I cried; 32 years later, I can scoop poop without shedding a tear. I’ve had dogs and cats since I was 4 years old — I currently have one dog (Walter, 2) and two cats (Diane, 17, and Babycat, 13). Walter LOVES other dogs and wishes I would get him a permanent sibling, but it’s not in the cards just yet, so we’re on Rover to fill the void! I work from home, so Walter’s new best friend/your dog will have my undivided attention and most likely be annoyed with my constant affection in no time! I have a fenced in yard for quick potty breaks & playtime. My dog Walter will be a constant source of entertainment and friendship, while my cats will perch in high places and watch your dog from afar. (Basically, they’ll just… be cats???)

About: I have lived with dogs all my life. I love playing and cuddling with the sweet ones. Once I can I will be getting a dachshund or pitbull. When my neighbor of 2 years is out of town, I take care of his 2 pit bulls, both over 10 years old. I work Monday to Friday 8:30-5:30pm with an hour lunch starting at 12:30. If your house is close enough to my warehouse I will be able to visit them during my lunch hour. In my house, the pets are fully inside cats. We make sure to open blinds during the day so they have places to lie in the sun, which they love. They are dry food once a day and wet food every other day. Whatever the client needs to be done for the pet I will do to the best of my abilities.

About: From a young age I’d bring home every stray in the neighborhood because I didn’t have a dog of my own. At the age of 10 my mother finally got me my dream dog… a collie I affectionately named Laddie. Since then I’ve owned dogs of every shape and size. I am comfortable around bully breeds(rottweilers, pitbulls,mastiffs) having shown and bred rottweilers for many years. I also have experience with special needs dogs and can administer medicine and provide specialized care as needed. I’m currently a full time nanny to an infant, toddler, and preschooler but have availability before 9am and after 4pm Monday-Friday and any time on the weekends. I will follow the directions and recommendations of the pet owner to ensure the pet’s time with me is both a safe and happy experience.

About: I have owned many types of pets throughout my years. Everything from lizards to horses. I am a Certified Vet assistant and have worked in the animal health care field for years. Pet care naturally fits into my daily life because it’s already part of my routine. From morning walks to check-ins and evening wind-downs, caring for pets blends right in with my day. I’m used to planning around their needs and enjoy giving them attention, structure, and comfort along the way. It never feels like an extra task. It’s just part of my everyday life, and I make sure each pet feels happy, safe, and well cared for. Whether pets are in my home or I’m caring for them in theirs, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow feeding schedules, walk times, and any specific instructions closely, and I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and rest. I’m big on noticing the little things. Making sure they’re comfortable, safe, and happy throughout the day. I also keep pet parents updated so they can relax knowing their pet is in good hands.
