About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 8. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I had my childhood dog for 14 years, and have since then gotten another dog. I have experience training puppies and taking care of older dogs and their needs. Flexible schedule which allows me plenty of time to take care of your pups. I am available for walking dogs and for drop-in visits Monday- Sunday from 8am-9pm. When walking dogs I avoid any heavily trafficked areas and am able to take dogs to different locations to walk/hike if needed (beach, dog park, etc.) I have my own dog who loves interacting with others that I can bring to walk with your dog if they want company.

she was absolutely amazing! She was reliable, caring, and very attentive to our cat’s needs. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were traveling. Our cat looked so happy and relaxed when we got back it was clear she was in great hands. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely reach out to her again next time we travel. Highly recommend!

Every time she came she sent me pictures and a short summary of what they got up to. She even invented a puzzle treat game for my cat, which never would have occurred to me! Will 💯 rebook in the future.

Mellissa is trustworthy, dependable, prompt, communicative, and affectionate. She was patient, kind, and caring to my two dogs (one is a 5-month-old puppy who is still potty training). Melissa went above and beyond to care for my dogs. She took them for walks, replaced their pee pads, supplied new food, drink, and treats, and played with them. I enjoy reading Melissa's notes and pictures, which she shares after each visit. Melissa is an amazing pet sitter, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.

Trent did amazing! He was very responsive in the booking and pet sitting process. All of the animals are happy and healthy after his time watching them, Poppy the dog loves everyone, but the fact that Cassie the cat let him pet her and Lyra the other cat let him SEE her is very telling of his character. Highly recommend.

About: I'm happy to walk and play with big dogs. I am patient and calm around wary cats but happy to be playful, too! I've been lucky enough to parent three dogs and four cats. I like all pets, and I think they like me, too. I'm a teacher to widely available in the summer. I'm available to house-sit including weekdays. I'm up early to exercise so happy to make early morning visits or walks. I have cats, so I don't plan to care for other pets in my home. In your home I will treat both your pets and property with care and professionalism. I'm happy to just pop in for food and bathroom breaks or to stay and keep your pet company for a while. I love playing with both cats and dogs, including just sitting with them on my lap.

Sam is one for the best pet sitters you’ll ever find! She is responsible, reliable, incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and truly a cat whisperer. Even my shy cat took a liking to her right away! Excellent communication and her beautiful spontaneous pet photos are a big bonus! She also watered my plants and they thrived. I came home after nearly three weeks away to two healthy and happy cats. I commend her to you 100%!

About: With over 75 dogs under my care, past and present, I bring unparalleled expertise and heartfelt dedication to every pet care assignment. My extensive experience spans all sizes, ages, backgrounds, and needs of dogs, ensuring your furry friend receives not just care, but genuine companionship and understanding. From fostering German Shepherds to volunteering at local shelters, I've honed my skills in nurturing pets through transitions. Each visit isn't just a task—it's an opportunity to forge a bond and tailor care to your pet's unique needs, leaving them wagging their tail with joy. I am a freelancer/contractor so I have plenty of time to fit time with your pups into my day. It's an excellent break for me and I look forward to every visit! As a provider of walks and check-ins I will meet with you and your dog the first time to establish a relationship and acclimate with your dog while making sure this is a relationship that works for everyone. After that we can work together to make the most of my time with your pup regardless of the service provided.

About: I don't have much experience with dogs as the only dog I interact with is my own, however, I am open to sitting all types. I'm currently working as a food delivery driver and have a flexible schedule. I'm fairly new to dog sitting and will try to provide the best service. I walk my dog about four times a day for roughly 30 minutes to and hour. Usually give her peanut butter as a treat or any vegetables that she may like.

I’m thrilled to offer a range of pet care services tailored to keep your furry friend happy, safe, and loved while you’re away.

Katrina was the first pet sitter we have had outside of family members. She is responsive and caring. She was very flexible with the changing needs of our three senior cats and took the time to make sure they got what they needed. She communicated with us during the booking and adapted as needed. We recommend Katrina and are planning to rebook for our next trip.
