About: I’ve had dogs all my life and have raised many from puppyhood to adulthood. Along the way, I’ve trained them in basic commands, housebreaking, and even fun tricks. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, including those with special needs, such as diapering and extra medical attention. What truly sets me apart is my deep love for dogs—I find peace and happiness when I’m around them. Whether your pup needs playful energy, gentle care, or extra patience, I’m dedicated to making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away! I'm currently enrolled in online school, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I'm home most of the time and only step out for short errands, ensuring plenty of time for pet care. Your pet will get my full attention, love, and care throughout the day! I create a safe, comfortable, and fun environment for pets, whether in my home or yours. They’ll have plenty of toys, space to play, and a cozy spot to rest. Dogs get regular walks or supervised outdoor time in a secure area to keep them active and happy. I only use crates when necessary—typically at night or when away, depending on the dog’s needs. Puppies are always crated when unsupervised to ensure their safety and prevent accidents. For cats, I provide the same level of attention, playtime, and care—minus the outdoor privileges. My goal is to make every pet feel relaxed, loved, and well cared for while you're away!

“Claire took such great care of my two very big dogs! I needed someone who would be able to stay in my home with them and she brought her two incredibly well behaved smaller dogs with her. Our dogs got along great. She kept my dogs company and maintained their feeding and walking schedule so well for the week I was gone. I received pictures daily of what fun they were having. She also cleaned up after herself completely and show great care and respect for my home. I will 100% ask her next time I need someone to come stay with my fur babies! I could not recommend her enough!”


3. Rebecca S.

“I feel very fortunate to have found Rebecca. There’s no other way to describe my dog other than special needs, and he was content comfortable and peaceful with her. It was such a blessing.! I booked her up through the holidays👍”

“Casey was great would definitely use her again”


5. Michele G.

“Michele was great! She took excellent care of our cats and our home. She even refreshed the food for our hermit crabs. :) Will definitely book with her again if she's available!”

About: I’ve always had a love for animals since I was a child. I used to bring home strays even though I would get in trouble for it. I’ve babysat dogs for friends and family in the past. I also used to be a dog groomer at Petsmart. One rainy morning on my way to work, I saw a chihuahua mix on the side of the road. I parked my car about 10 feet away from her. She was shaking and had a look of despair. I gently scooped her up and put her in my passenger seat. I noticed her leg was broken so I skipped work and took her to the vet. I took her home with me and cared for her until she healed. Today, she is the happiest and chunkiest chihuahua I’ve ever seen. She’s living her best life with my mom. I work a full time job but I plan to quit soon. If day care is needed then I will take the days off needed for that. Overall, my schedule can be flexible. For day care, I have a fenced in backyard for your dogs to run around and play. They will be supervised at all times and I do have cameras. I have a sun room they can lounge in as well. I have a bucket of toys they can play with. They will be fed and will have plenty of water. If your dog does not get along with others then I can create a safe space for them.


7. Loralei M.
“She's taken care of my 2 dogs a couple of times of year. One needs extra attention because he loves to eat to fast. She monitors him to make sure he doesn't choke. My other dog is very hyper. She plays ball and walks him while she here. My dogs love her company. I would recommend Loralei to my friends and family to watch your animals. She's responsible and keeps us up to date with how my babies are doing.”




8. Chuck L.


“We are so glad our friends referred Chuck to us for house sitting our two big boys! Chuck did an amazing job--not only did we come to a clean house, but our dogs were well taken care of and we received multiple updates throughout the day. We definitely trust Chuck with our boys and house and will be booking him in the future.”


9. Mary M.
“Mary could pet sit the animals on Noah's Ark! She's got the skills and the heart to handle any animal, big or small, from dogs and cats to birds and fish. She handled my household of pets with ease. When you need a pet sitter who's truly a cut above the rest, look no further!”


10. Ellie F.
“Ellie did an amazing job watching our pups and keeping them on their routine while we were away. We will be booking again and couldn’t refer her enough!”


11. Hunter B.
About: I am currently a student at Southeastern University And looking for part-time work. Taking care of your pets would be ideal! I was raised with and still take care of my two childhood pets, Gumbeaux and Roux. Gumbeaux and Roux are now in their older years (11 and 10. They are boxers who for years were full of rambunctious energy and need a lot of attention. They have been a full-time job, but I also have experience, taking care of friend’s pets as well. “ I am attending college and will need to work around my school schedule in the spring, which can be very flexible. Currently, I do not have any work or school obligations, and I would like to spend some time taking care of your pets” I usually feed, play, and cuddle with my own dogs at home. I know every dog is different and unique with their own needs and wants.

18. Kate L.
About: I have worked with all sorts of animals since I was born! I have provided services such as: grooming, overnight stays, in and out feeding/potty, etc.. I also have worked with senior dogs and puppies, as I have had 7 dogs of my own and 15+ fostered/co-watched! Currently I am in college at SELU. I have classes from 11am to 3pm on Monday and Wednesdays. 11am-5pm on Tuesday and Thursdays. I also work part-time at another place Thursday-Sunday, however, I am usually not there all of those days! I can easily offer afternoon, morning, night, and overnight care if needed! For Thursday-Sunday however, I may need a weeks early notice. I usually take care of pets by first getting to know them, their habits, and their personality to ensure a good relationship with them! Trust is a very important factor in animal care, so that always comes first. Other than that, I will usually base my care on your pet and their needs. For example, if your pet is more affectionate/dependent, I will be around them as much as I can to ensure a happy time for them. However, if said dependancy was a problem, I can also work with your pet to try and reduce that dependency through training/ finding out what they may need to fix that! That also works vise-versa!

20. David B.


“David stayed with our pets (cat and dog) for 3 weeks while we were overseas. Now, we’ve used David before (and had NO complaints), but let’s face it, 3 weeks is a long time and Australia is a long way away. David was fantastic. We received daily photos/updates and had zero concerns while away. We left lots of detailed info and ‘what if’ plans, and David’s only feedback was ‘I love lists’. He is always open to requests and specifics without complaint. We had a wonderful trip without the stress of wondering how our babies were faring. Highly recommend David for short and long-term sits. Thank you, David!”
