About: I have been pet sitting since I was fourteen and have experience taking care of elderly, special needs, and young animals. I am a dog person at heart, but I love all animals and want you to feel assured while at work or out of town that I will take care of your pet. I work split shifts and have a flexible schedule where I can come home often on days that I work to let pets out and stretch their legs. I love playing with animals and make sure they have the attention they need while you are away. While at my home my dog Buddy loves other animals and will help them feel welcome.

About: I've taken care of dogs, birds and cats since I started grad school. Friends and strangers, alike, have relied on me to be consistent and adhere to their fur babies' routines. I'm currently working as an Airbnb host locally so I have plenty of time between setting up for guests to take care of your pets. I keep a staycation bag packed so I can be ready to housesit at anytime. I keep several alarms on my phone while housesitting to make sure I adhere to routine. When I'm sitting dogs, I'm sure to wait the 30 minutes after eating to take them on a walk for good digestion. When I'm sitting cats, I'm sure to clean the litter box nightly so they may stay comfortable.

About: I’ve worked at the rescue in my hometown for a few years now, I’ve worked in 2 different grooming salons, and have also been involved with some vets. Working at a rescue and a grooming salon gives you so much experience to learn more about each breed and each dog. You get to learn everything about each sweetheart so we’ll over time that you also start to love them like they’re you’re own. I had to deal with almost every experience when it comes to pets as well. I love dogs so very much they have such a soft place in my heart and it’s always great to get to learn about their owners as well when they’re steady customers! I am a college student so I do have to leave for classes at times. January 6 starts spring semester so I will have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays but will not be away for an extended amount of time. We live where there is a fenced in property, 2 large dogs who are very pet friendly. We take up lots of time with pets staying with us to make them feel as comfortable as possible and just because we absolutely love all fur babies!

About: I have been raised around dogs since I was a kid and have always owned a few at a time. I love animals with all my heart, and am always so happy to meet new furry friends! I have 4 currently that include a Basset Hound, Bulldog, Pomeranian, and a rescue mix. When I take care of your dog, you can trust that I will treat them like they are my own - with love and kindness! I am free most any day of the week and at most hours. You just let me know when you need help and I'll work hard to be there! I will be offering services at the client's home so if there is a fenced in yard, I always double check it before letting the dogs out (I even do this at my home for my own pets), and also just being extra careful and keeping an eye on everyone. I treat animals like they're children and I know they need lots of supervision!

“Just pick up my dog and I can tell he had GREAT STAY ! I love how Sterling gave me daily updates! Also in every picture he sent me my dog did not look stress! I will definitely be booking again !! -Sir Mom”


“Joule C. did an excellent job with my dogs. She kept me informed about their daily activities and sent pictures often. I feel confident that my dogs enjoyed their stay with her almost like a vacation for them. They were able to swim in her pond and be around her dogs. She is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to everything dog related such as diet and training. I appreciate that she took wonderful care of my dogs.”

Brandi L.
“Brandi was absolutely amazing! She cared for all four of my babies (two cats and two dogs), and gave them the same care and attention that I do! She was sure to ask what theirs needs were before hand and sent me plenty of video and picture updates. Even though walks weren’t required, she went out of her way to take them on walks and even got my pup who has separation anxiety to eat. I would DEFINITELY recommend!”
