“Suzanne’s very kind and gave lots of pictures and information about my sweet boy. He is definitely a wild puppy and she spent time with him and cared for him well. I felt confident leaving him in her care and will book again for sure!”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for multiple dogs of different breeds and personalities, including my four dogs at home — two dachshunds, a yorkie, and a schnauzer. Over the years, I’ve been responsible for many aspects of their daily care, from feeding and walking to bathing, grooming, and administering medication when needed. Caring for several dogs at once has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to recognize each dog’s unique needs and behavior. I genuinely love animals and enjoy making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I also have experience helping family and friends with pet sitting, which has helped me become confident handling dogs in different environments and routines. My schedule is very flexible right now since I am home from college for the summer, so my availability is pretty wide open. I am available most days and can easily adjust to different pet care schedules, whether that’s daily visits, walks, feeding times, or overnight stays. The only times I am unavailable are Mondays and Wednesdays from 7:30–9:00 due to soccer practice. Outside of that, I have plenty of time and energy to dedicate to caring for pets and making sure they get the attention and care they need. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my everyday life. At home, I help take care of my four dogs and my cat by feeding them, walking them, bathing them, cleaning up after them, administering medication when needed, and making sure they always feel loved and comfortable. Having multiple pets has taught me how to manage different personalities, energy levels, and routines while still giving each pet the individual attention they deserve. I also have experience caring for other people’s pets in their homes through pet sitting for family and friends. I understand how important it is to keep pets comfortable in their own environment and to follow their normal routines as closely as possible. Whether it’s feeding schedules, playtime, walks, medication, or simply giving them company and affection, I make sure every pet feels safe, cared for, and happy while their owners are away
About: Hi! I’m Lucy, and I specialize in gentle, stress-free care for cats and small dogs — with a calm, attentive approach your pets will love. My journey with cats began in 2004 when my family and I found a mother cat and her kittens in our yard. Since then, I’ve personally cared for cats of all ages and personalities — playful, shy, independent, and cuddly. I’ve also grown up with dogs since I was born, and I enjoy offering the same level of thoughtful, loving care to pups with calm temperaments. Whether it’s a cat curled in a sunny spot or a little dog who needs quiet companionship, I create a safe, peaceful environment for them to feel secure and happy. 🐾 What I offer: Drop-in visits with feeding, litter box/potty care, gentle play, and affection Calm, respectful care with no large or high-energy dogs Medication administration (if needed) Daily updates and photos Extra love for seniors, kittens, or special-needs pets I’m patient, reliable, and committed to keeping your pets' routines as close to normal as possible while you’re away — because they’re not just pets, they’re family. Let’s chat! I’d love to learn more about your furry companions. 🐾 I'm available for drop-in visits between 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM, Monday through Friday, and also offer weekend availability upon request — perfect for mid-day feeding, litter box or potty care, and quality companionship. Whether your cat is independent or affectionate — or your small dog is calm and cuddly — I tailor each visit to their unique personality and needs. I'm a reliable, gentle sitter with a calm presence and lots of love to give. Need a sitter during your workday or a short weekend trip? I'd be happy to care for your cat or small dog while you're away. I prioritize creating a calm, secure environment during every visit. By carefully following care instructions and maintaining your cat’s — or small dog’s — routine, I help reduce stress and keep them comfortable in their familiar space. My hands-on experience with cats since 2004, and a lifetime around small dogs, has given me a deep understanding of their behavior and emotional cues. I respond with sensitivity, respect, and reliability to ensure every pet feels at ease. I believe trust begins with clear, consistent communication — that’s why I always provide honest updates and photos to give you peace of mind while you're away. Every animal is different, and I tailor my care to their individual personality and needs, ensuring they feel safe, seen, and well-loved in your absence.
About: Hello! My name is Hannah, I, have worked with dogs and cats for 5 years now, 3 years as a manager at a doggy daycare and boarding facility, the only reason i left was to pursue my career (a hairstylist ) but now on my off days i miss taking care of dogs and cats 😁. I love animals so much, I have owned animals as well. I enjoy playing and cuddling with them and I keep an eye on them to make sure they are okay. I have taken care of many dogs in all different stages of life. I have a soft heart for furry friends and want my clients to feel comfortable and relaxed knowing that I am there to watch their dogs. I am a great communicator as well. I have also rescued a puppy when i was in a foreign country and took him to a humane society. My boyfriend has a German Shepard andI work with a lot of German Shepard’s, huskies as well as tiny dogs like chihuahuas, spaniel mixes etc If you are also in need of a stylist 👀 (HannahAbbyHair) I’m a hairstylist, some weeks are busy some aren’t. My schedule currently that works is Monday-Thursday available. But you can always message me and work something out I’m very flexible!! I enjoy being goofy and having fun while also making sure they know the limits and guidelines! I worked at a daycare and would manage 15-30 dogs at a time so you learn the ropes pretty quick! I love cats as well but i don’t pressure them for attention. If they want to they will is my logic (:
“Remington was excellent. Communication lines were clear and open. And I could tell from the photos sent that my dog--who does not make friends easily-- was completely at ease. If my job brings me back this way, Remington will be high on my list of petsitters to contact.”

About: I’ve been a dedicated dog parent for 10 years and have experience dog sitting for friends with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’m comfortable handling walks, playtime, feeding routines, and giving plenty of affection and attention. I understand how important it is for dogs to feel safe and happy while their owners are away, and I’m committed to providing reliable, professional care. I am recent college graduate, so I am available pretty much anytime during the week and on Sundays! Saturday mornings are usually busy for me but we could work something out if needed. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I always follow instructions carefully and strive to create a calm and secure environment for your pets. I believe in building trust with both pets and their owners.
“Gary was great with Lilith! I could tell that she had a really fun time playing with him. I got so many good pictures from Gary and he was very communicative and responsive. Definitely recommend him to anyone and will keep his contact for when we need him in the future.”

About: For 3 years, I’ve consistently cared for my friend’s dog that include daily walks, feedings, and playtime. Reliable, loving, and always treating pets like family. As a full-time student, pet care fits perfectly into my flexible schedule. I’m looking for a part-time job with hours that adapt to my classes. In clients’ homes, I follow their routines closely specifically feeding, walking, playtime, and cuddles ensuring pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was twelve and have owned 3 Maltese dogs! I have also cared for stray dogs and cats in the neighborhood. My schedule is flexible, and I am available throughout the holidays! I am often free in the evenings so nightly pet bookings at my home are welcomed. Water. Food, Playtime, and Regular Potty Breaks! A dog bed can also be provided to accommodate your pet. Let me know of any special needs your pet may have, such as medication.
“Kasey did a great job watching my two cats on very short notice over the holidays! She was very good about sending me pictures and updates from her drop-in visits. I had never been away from my cats for this long before, but I was very comfortable knowing that Kasey was taking care of them. I know she made sure to give my cats some extra attention and love during her check-ins, and both cats warmed up to her very fast. Both my babies seemed very happy and content when I returned from my trip. I would ask Kasey to watch my cats again in the future!”


“Lori is amazing! She is super sweet and super understanding. She did wonderful taking great care of my fur babies while away and messaged me letting me know how they are with pictures. One of my fur babies is timid with new people but she was able to get her very comfortable quickly. They are my babies so leaving them was so hard but she made me feel so much better about the whole process. Definitely recommend her and will definitely ask for her help in the future.”

About: I have extensive experience caring for the animals of family and friends. With a great deal of patience, I can help even the shyest animals feel comfortable and secure. Over time, I build strong, trusting relationships with the animals I care for, ensuring they feel loved and well-taken care of. I'm a mom of one teenager who is an animal lover as well I'm always up at 6 am to see my daughter off to school on the bus and my husband to work I'm a stay-at-home mom I keep the house clean and other stuff around the house but I mostly love spending time with our 2 dogs and one cat When watching your loved one in my home I want your pets to feel at home and comfortable I want my house to be your pet's vacation away from Home my house is a big animal lover so your pets will get love and care with my family.
“Alyssa took fantastic care of our dog. Our dog immediately warmed up. She went above and beyond playing with her and giving her attention. We will definitely be coming back to her when we need someone to watch our dog.”

Steph is amazing! Took excellent care of our precious dog and even our home! She will be our Pet Sitter for life and we feel so lucky to have someone that lives in the same area as well. We had bad weather on our trip away while having bad weather at home too! Steph went out of her way to make sure our house could fear the storm as well as keeping Odette very calm and peaceful during her visits. I highly recommend her.
