About: I have two dogs of my own that I’ve cared for since they were puppies. Also I watch the family’s pets whenever needed. Would love to be able to give your pet that same love I give my own! I’m a work from home dog mom, so I’m able to be around at all times to take care of your pets needs during the week. I have a fenced in backyard and two friendly pups to hang out with your fur baby. If your pup needs a kennel during the day, I have one available. Also plenty of fun toys too!

“Diane did a fantastic job. This was my first time leaving my pets and I was so nervous at first. But with lots of check-ins and pics from my pets sitter, I felt much better. It's clear she took great care of them while I was gone. Not only will I be requesting this sitter in the future but I will highly recommend her to friends and family.”

“Emily did an excellent job during her drop in visits with Ivy. She provided great updates about each visit. She shows how much she cares for pets! I am so glad Emily helped my transition back to work and was able to care for our puppy! She is very quick at responding to messages and questions.”


14. Kylee S.
“Kylee has grown up helping care for the family pets including dogs, cats and a guinea pig. She has always loved animals and I was pretty sure at one point she was going to become a vet, however she decided on nursing as her career choice. She didn’t know how she could handle euthanizing animals on a regular basis so decided on caring for others in some of their worsts times. She is extremely responsible and helps manage feeding and medication schedules for our family dog who suffers from seizures. She is very caring and even as a young adult spent countless hours this past summer with 4 new kittens that we added to our family making sure they were getting fed and getting enough attention when they were first away from their mother. She considers our pets as part of our family and includes them on outings as often as possible. She can’t wait to get her own place so she can start rescuing pets and loves to dog sit whenever she gets the chance!”


15. Katie J.
“Leroy our Great Dane is very skittish with new people and does not like strangers. Katie was very patient and gentle with him and now he loves her and gets very excited when he sees her to go on walks!”


16. Melissa J.
“Melissa has watched my shitzhu a few times and once for 2 day weekend. I could tell she was caring and my dog felt safe. She followed her routine and sent pictures. Overall my dog was safe, had fun and has a new friend. Thanks Melissa!”


17. Kayla C.
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 16 years old! I love spending time with them and getting in lots of snuggles! I've trained dogs and love to get to know their personalities. I'm a stay at home mom and would love to take your pup out for a walk with my two youngest girls. They love animals and being outside. As much as I love children, I also love animals! Caring for them will be simple and easy! I'll also get my exercise in playing with them! So, thanks! Haha


18. Tasha C.
“Tasha has cared for family dogs all her life, including huge St Bernards & most recently an American Pit Bull. She has moved to college housing & misses caring for dogs! She is honest, dependable & trustworthy. She also communicates well with both humans & animals! Tasha loves to shower affection on all animals but especially dogs. Give her a chance & she may even surprise you with a portrait of your pooch as she also is very talented & loves to draw & paint them!”
