About: I’ve care for family dogs my entire life, giving me experience with different personalities, sizes, energy levels, and routines. I myself had a pitbull mastiff and am comfortable caring for all dogs of all sizes. I’m comfortable providing walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and plenty of affection while following each owner’s instructions carefully. My experience caring for senior cats with changing health needs has also made me patient, observant, and attentive to subtle changes in an animal’s behavior or comfort. Whether your dog is playful and energetic or prefers a slower, calmer routine, I’ll provide dependable care and treat them like family. I’m available to take care of your pets with a 1-2 day’s notice - 1 for walking and drop-ins, and 2 for house sitting. If you need to cancel, please provide notice 3 days prior. I do not offer services regarding keeping animals at my home. I have no problem with crate-trained animals and will follow whatever specific instructions you leave regarding your animals’ care and needs.
“She always arrives on time, follows all our instructions carefully, and most importantly, makes our dog Coco so happy. We trust her completely with Coco’s walks, and it gives us peace of mind knowing he’s in great hands. Highly recommended!”
About: I’ve been around animals majority of my life, from dogs to cats, reptiles and small mammals. Dog sitting has been the most offered service I have provided for my neighbors, coworkers and friends. At the moment I am currently working part-time. I am available during the week of early mornings to mid afternoons to start off. The pet care service I will only be able to provide will be dog walking services, in the near future I may progress to other pet services. I care for pets based on provided instructions given by clients. If instructions aren’t available I will be able to adapt to the pet’s needs by observation and communicate with clients for guidance. I care for pets as if they were my own, so therefore my goal is to fulfill all pet’s needs while taking the load off for pet owners.
“Thanks for walking Riley and Archie, Davis! They had a great time and I was so glad I could find someone to help out with them on short notice. We will definitely reach out again 😊”
About: I have taken care of a family pet for over 8 years and helped with friends and cousins pets as well! I have a gentle yet firm approach and comfortable with dogs from 5 pounds to 99 pounds. I work from home 3 days a week and my schedule allows for flexibility with dogs of various breeds and sizes! I am available for most services and happy to discuss any not listed on a case-by-case basis. I do not have a yard myself and I am well prepared to care for dogs in apartments, houses, or any other homes regardless of yards or not.
“Sarah was amazing as a dog walker for my pups! She was very responsive, came exactly on time for the walk, and was clearly so sweet and loving with both of my dogs! One of my pups is quite shy and Sarah spent extra time with her to get her comfortable before the walk which was above and beyond amazing. Will absolutely book with her again in the future!”
About: 👋Hi! I'm August (they/them) and I have years of petsitting experience as well as a cat of my own. 📸I enjoy taking pictures of animals for pet parents! 💊I have experience with animals who have special care needs, including with dogs that need bladder expression, and cats that need oral medication administered. 🗣️I do my best to be both communicative and responsive to any pet parent messages and concerns, and my aim is to make the pet care experience as stress-free as possible for all parties! 😄 I currently work part-time and have 3-4 hour shifts throughout the week, though this varies. As such, I have quite a lot of availability, especially for jobs like house-sitting as I will be able to be at the house with the animal(s) for a large majority of the time. I do what is asked of me by pet owners and try to go above and beyond to be a good companion to the animal(s). I follow directions well and am very observant of pet behavior so I can meet their needs.
“We’re so happy to have found Matthew! He visits and walks our dog on a weekly schedule, and he’s always prompt, considerate, and very easy to coordinate with. He’s also clearly very skilled at understanding dogs, reading their queues, and adjusting to make sure they’re comfortable. Our pup definitely looks forward to his visits, and we know he’s in great hands. Highly recommend!”
“Mae took excellent care of our golden retriever! I really appreciated the photos she sent. She is friendly and was very responsive even with short notice. I could tell our pup loved her. I will contact her again the next time we need care.”
About: For me, pets are more than animals — they’re family. I believe every pet deserves patience, affection, attention, and care that makes them feel safe and loved. I’m responsible, attentive, and happy to follow your pet’s unique routine, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company. I’ll treat your furry family member with the same kindness and respect I’d want for my own, and I’ll do my best to make every visit a happy one! I balance pet care with my regular work schedule and make an effort to be dependable, organized, and communicative with every pet parent. I can coordinate visits, walks, and sitting around my availability, including evenings and weekends when arranged in advance. I understand that pets thrive on consistency, so I’ll do my best to follow their normal feeding, walking, playtime, and bedtime routines. I’ll also keep you updated so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in caring hands! Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I’ll take the time to understand their personality, habits, feeding instructions, and any special needs before caring for them. I’m happy to follow your house rules, keep doors and gates secure, use leashes properly, and make sure your pet has fresh water and a clean, comfortable environment. I also believe communication matters, so I’ll gladly send photo updates and messages to give you peace of mind while you’re away. Every pet deserves to feel safe, respected, and loved!

After our walker canceled last minute, I was so lucky to find Annie. She truly is a gem. The dogs took to her so quickly and I can tell she gave them lots of love while we were out of town this wknd. Will have to plan another weekend away soon so they can have more time with her! 🐾💕
I ended up in a last minute bind and reached out to Sierra to provide 2 dog walks for me the following day. She responded quickly, worked with my time frame, and had great communication. Thank you so much for taking care of my baby and being available last minute!!! Will certainly reach out if i need care again

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
