“Emily was great, very caring towards our dogs, sent pictures and gave updates every visit. She also kept on the Dog TV channel for them so they had white noise. It was nice to go away for the weekend and not have the stress of a kennel on our senior dogs knowing they were in good hands!”
About: I’ve worked in both ER and general practice veterinary medicine for the last 4 years. Before that I worked at a boarding/day care facility as a manager for 2 years. I have two dogs of my own. One being a senior and the other being a puppy. I also grew up with many cats I work full time at an animal ER and part time at a regular vet clinic. I have 2 days available for house sitting and on the other days I can drop in and walk/play with your pets between my shifts I’ve been pet sitting for my friends and family for the last few years. Pet care and safety is something very important to me after working in veterinary medicine for the last 4 years. My goal is to make their time away from you as stress free as possible. Giving them extra love and play time where I can.
“Kathleen was great to trust with my two pets while I was away! My dog is not always thrilled about new people, but she was very patient with him and even got a kiss from him. Will definitely rebook!”
About: I have been rescuing dogs and cats for the last 25 years with my husbands help. I love cuddling and loving on just about any animal. As of right now I have a Rottie/English Mastiff rescue named Demo and a calico rescue named MoMo. I frequently sit my granddog Kaito who is a Shepherd/Pyrenees. We briefly tried to live without animals and quickly realized that's no life to live. Pets have a special kind of love and affection you can't find anywhere else. I am currently working less than part time and my schedule is fairly flexible. I can fill in as needed usually with a few hours notice but do prefer at least 24 hours I cannot host any pets at my home as we are still not sure if my dog is reactive. I am more than willing to attend to your pet in whatever fashion you request in your home within reason.
About: I have been an animal lover and had dogs my whole life. My first job was working at a boarding kennel at 14 years old. I have worked with many different breeds. I am experienced with boarding pets in my home, pet bathing experience/groomer in training, nail trimming, ability to give oral medications, insulin injections (I have had two diabetic dogs), walking dogs of any breed or size. At this time I am very flexible. My life revolves around animals. I can commit to your schedule to suit you and your pets needs. I have a fenced in back yard and live away from high traffic for safe walks, I have dogs of my own for your pup to have friends to play with. I can keep my dogs separate from yours if needed. Patient, and quiet loving home with pet's needs as my top priority. Can take them for car rides or snuggle up on the couch and watch a movie. I can pick your pet up and drop them off if needed.
“We felt comfortable trusting our cats with Emily immediately after meeting her. She is very pleasant and thorough. She was also very accommodating adjusting our dates due to illness on our end. We will absolutely book her again!”
“Jade was amazing while my husband and I were away. She was very flexible with some of our scheduling issues and her communication was outstanding. There was a bad storm that came through and she was still able to check on our little ones with the power being out. Very thankful for her while we were away.”
About: Since 2014, I’ve cared for pets of all ages and pawsonalities — from shy kittens to spicy dogs, plus chickens, bunnies, and even a hermit crab. 🐶🐱🐔🐰🐟 Fostering over 200 pets has made me fluent in body language (pet edition). Whether your pet wants snuggles, space, or serious playtime, I tailor each visit to what makes them happiest. I’m comfortable giving medications and teaching basic obedience. I also make the experience great for you! I’m a reliable communicator, send plenty of cute pics, and if your pet’s up for it, you’ll come home to a handmade surprise “from your pet.” Pet care fits naturally into my routine — it’s something I genuinely enjoy! I’m available mornings, evenings, and weekends, with a flexible schedule that allows me to adapt as needed. I am able to care for about a dozen pets per week and I only book one house-sitting family at a time to ensure each pet gets my full attention. Walks and drop-ins can easily be added into my day, especially Monday through Friday. Pet care is both relaxing and rewarding for me — I love building relationships with the pets I visit, and I think they look forward to our time together just as much as I do! I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes, starting by learning their pet’s established routine to ensure they feel comfy and happy. I gather all the important info — like vet contacts, emergency numbers, and where cleaning supplies live (just in case!). I’m a tidy sitter too: I take out the trash and scoop up any yard “presents” to keep things fresh. Most importantly, I listen closely to both owner and pet to discover what makes each furry friend feel safe and loved, then tailor my care to their unique personality.
“Amber is so wonderful with our Chesapeake bay retriever who can be stubborn at times but he absolutely loves her. She always sends a picture and an update of how he did on the check in. She has been so helpful and puts our mind at ease that we know he’s being taken care of so well 😊”
“Grace was prompt and went above and beyond. Every visit had pictures and detailed descriptions of what happened. Grace was quick to respond and accommodated all my pups needs! Already booked with her again!”

About: I have never been without a dog in my life! I love dogs more than most anything! They give such unconditional love. I spend most of my free time with dogs. Whether that’s training them , showing them or just laying on the couch cuddle them. I am a very caring person that is very attentive to pets needs. I grew up on a farm. I have experience with all sizes of dogs.I am a preservation breeder of bloodhounds( last litter 6 years ago sadly). There’s nothing better than being in a whelping box with puppies climbing all over you. I have experience caring for every age dog, as well as different health issues. I’ve also worked as a vet tech and have a lot of veterinary experience from changing wound dressings to administering pills and shots. Although not certified I have been training dogs my entire life. I am also an empath and have special connections with animals . I can tune into what they need and read body language . I believe in holistic health for people and pets. If you have a pet that needs special food ( raw, cooked, live) I have no issue with that. I treat my dogs like my children. They have a schedule, they are fed, exercised and have nap time and bed time consistently everyday. They live in my house with me. Currently have 3 bloodhounds ( 9,7&7 mo) and one cat who thinks he’s a dog😊 I’m currently working part time and have a flexible schedule. I have time late mornings (10-3)afternoon and evenings after 6 for pet visits and walks. My dogs are treated like family . I do believe in consistency whether that’s their routine or in their training. They are loved and spoiled but are also made to behave appropriately. Although bloodhounds do like to test the limits. lol I would treat your family pet the same with love , patience and consistency.
