I've given Courtney a 5 star review in the past and would like to do so once again. She goes the extra mile every time my wife and I book her. Wonderful pet sitter!

Melissa is exceptionally caring and had a wonderful approach with our Great Dane, Kota. She left the perfect level of details after each of her visits and was thoughtful about our dogs knee (recovering from surgery) while still giving her plenty of time to play. Our dog was clearly comfortable and happy to see Melissa each visit- which is saying a lot for an anxious pup! Could not recommend Melissa more highly!!

Beth has been very helpful and friendly, so nice to work with. We adopted a new dog from the Humane Society, who needs some TLC right now in her strange, new environment. Beth has been doing drop-in visits while we are at work. And our dog couldn’t be happier about that extra attention, and chance to romp in the back yard! We are very pleased to have met someone who understands, and loves dogs as much as we do. Thank you, Beth!

Lucy is a very kind person, and my dogs love her. She comes and walks them twice a week when I’m busy with school and they are SO happy to get to spend some time outside with her. She sends photos and gives me little updates on them, and it makes me feel better about leaving my big, grown up babies.

About: I have taken care of my dogs and other dogs for 26 years. I love dogs. They are so happy to see us and love on us. I have not been trained but I love to train dogs. I really enjoy being a dog walker, it brings me so much joy! I would love to make dog walking my full time job! I am avaliable for daily and or weekly dog walks anytime! I can't wait! Although I would love to have dogs in my own home, I can not have animals in my home because of the condo rules and regulations. When I move into a home some day I would love to have dogs over!

About: Hello! We are an active family with a young son and an almost three year old Aussie Doodle named Marley and our newest addition is a cat named Moon. When it is nice out, you will find us outside! Marley loves having other dogs around whether it be a playmate or a snuggle buddy. Moon is usually hiding and can be kept in a separate area of the house, if needed. My partner and I have opposite schedules and Grandparents that double as babysitters. That means there is someone at the house the majority of the time to help take special care of your pet. We can be pretty flexible with drop off and pick up times. We have lots of love to give out and they will be pampered on their doggy vacation! I can also accommodate if your dog would prefer them to be the only pet in the house. Marley frequently stays at his Grandparent's house and plays with his Cousin- Pongo :) If it is your first time booking with me, use promo code KIMS56130 for $20 off.

About: As a dog owner of two and lifelong animal lover, I’m very comfortable caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. I’ve had dogs since I was 12 and am familiar with everything from puppy energy to senior dog needs. I enjoy staying active outside and making sure pets get exercise, attention, and lots of affection — including great puppy cuddles. Your pet’s comfort and routine are always my priority. I work from home and can work from anywhere so I have almost unlimited flexibility and can’t wait to meet and get to know your oets! I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level. In my client’s home, I aim to keep pets’ schedules as consistent as possible with regular feeding times, walks, play, and plenty of affection. I know how important familiarity is, so I work to create a calm, safe environment while you’re away. I treat every pet like one of my own and understand the trust it takes to have someone care for them in your home. I’m respectful of your space, communicative, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved.

About: I would love to help you out with your doggies! We always had dogs growing up. I’ve had dogs my whole adult life as well. I rarely have had just one and the most I’ve owned at once is 3. I’d have more if my husband okayed it! 😂 I am a teacher on summer break and have a lot of flexibility in my daily schedule. I would love to fill my days up with walking dogs! I am hoping to do some dog walking or playtime during the day, but I’m open to bringing them to my home to stay if needed. I currently have one chihuahua who likes to lounge on my couch. We have a regular client that we have about every other month. He is an adorable keeshound who loves to play. I have taken care of many types of dogs with varying temperaments over the years. I am happy to help you out!

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, personalities, and needs. I grew up in a family that always had dogs, and caring for them has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. Today, I share my home with two wonderful dogs—a Cocker Spaniel and a Bulldog—who keep life fun, active, and full of love. Over the years, I've gained experience raising two puppies of different breeds, giving me a strong understanding of puppy care, training consistency, socialization, and the patience that young dogs need as they grow and learn. I've also cared for senior dogs, including administering medications and accommodating age-related mobility and health needs. In addition, I have experience working with special-needs and disabled dogs, and I understand the importance of providing compassionate, individualized care tailored to each dog's unique situation. As a teacher on summer break, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pet. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, enrichment activities, or simply relaxing with a caring companion, I'll make sure they receive the attention, affection, and care they deserve. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I strive to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. I'll keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're away. My goal is to make your dog feel comfortable, secure, and loved—just like they do with you. I look forward to meeting you and your pet and providing the same level of care I would want for my own pets! I am currently not working a set schedule so I have plenty of time for all of your pet care needs! I can do house sitting, dog walking and drop ins on any day of the week. When I stay in someone’s home to care for their pet, I will treat it with the upmost respect, leaving it better than I found it. I am clean, respectful and responsible.

Tim is a contentious cat sitter. My cats look forward to getting treats and wet food when he visits. He brushes them and plays with them in addition to the liter box duties. He checks the fountain for fresh water and makes sure the auto feeder has food. He lets me know if they have left hairballs, etc. he also turns on different lights every day. I recommended him to my sister. He spends about a half hour with them each visit so all the boxes are checked.

Evelyn has been absolutely wonderful taking care of Yoko. She consistently checked in, kept me updated, and communicated with me throughout the entire time I was away. As someone who worries a lot about leaving my cat for several days, Evelyn gave me complete peace of mind. Knowing that Yoko was being cared for by someone so reliable, attentive, and compassionate made all the difference. I truly appreciate the care and attention she provided, and I always felt reassured that Yoko was in great hands. Evelyn is someone I can count on without hesitation, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.

Erinn was able to stop by today for a last minute drop in request. She spent some time with Buddy and took him on a walk in addition to the regular duties. She is very responsible, attentive and communicates so well. We look forward to being able to have her stay with Buddy in the future since we had to cancel her weekend booking due to a medical situation for me. She was very understanding!

I just utilized Michelle for a long weekend for my Lab for x3 visits per day. She is full of great energy! When we came home my lab was happy and acted like we’d been gone for a few hours instead of days! Michelle made the separation during a trip enjoyable for everyone. I will definetly look her up for future walks and drop in visits
