About: Dog owner for many years - puppies to senior. I am very active and strong. I love to walk Victoria every day and would love to walk your dog. Work from home with a spacious backyard with doggie door access. My last dog passed at 15 years and I would love to treat and care for your dog like family. I sell Real Estate, I am a licensed Realtor and work from home. I make my own schedule and have the ability to be flexible to care for pets in my home or look after a pet at their home. I live in a quiet area. I have a large fenced yard and doggie door for easy access. I Live by myself and currently have no pets. My last two dogs were rescues that lived a long time and I would care for your pet as a family member.
About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, so taking care of them feels completely natural. I have experience with cats of all personalities and dogs of all sizes, and I currently have two cats and a puppy, so I’m familiar with daily routines, walks, feeding, basic meds, and giving each pet the attention they need. I pay close attention to behavior and energy, and I always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I really enjoy spending time with animals and treating every pet like they’re my own. I work during the week, but can do early morning or evening visits as needed. I’m reliable and do my best to stick to your pet’s routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free. Happy to coordinate timing to make sure they get the attention they need. I care for pets by sticking closely to their usual routines and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, and giving lots of attention based on each pet’s needs. I monitor behavior and wellbeing and keep owners updated so they feel confident their pet is well cared for.
About: With over 10 years of experience in animal care, I offer a unique, compassionate approach to pet sitting. In addition to my extensive history working with animals, I am a certified Animal Reiki Practitioner, having completed specialized training specifically focused on energy healing for pets. I find deep fulfillment in being around animals and am dedicated to providing them with a calm, therapeutic, and loving environment. I have a flexible schedule that allows for consistent and reliable availability. I balance my time between coaching youth sports, managing a part-time role as a caregiver for an elderly man, and occasionally servicing a local Airbnb. These varied roles mean I have significant free time during off-seasons and non-peak clinic times. My current commitments are easily manageable, ensuring I can offer ample availability and dedication to new opportunities. I welcome pets into my home and provide a spacious, safe environment designed for their comfort. I have separate rooms available to ensure that any visiting animals have their own private space, completely separated from my own cats who have difficulty with other pets. My house is well-suited for active animals: we feature a fully fenced-in backyard, a dog park conveniently located right next door, and a larger park just down the road perfect for longer walks and exercise. Whether the pets are staying at my house or I am staying at theirs, my guiding philosophy is centered on maintaining consistency and routine. I believe routine is everything for an animal's well-being—much like it is for a child. I prioritize keeping their day predictable: I make every effort to feed them, take them out for walks, and ensure bedtime occurs around the same time every day, minimizing stress and maximizing comfort for your pet
“I’m so grateful Casey was available for a last minute booking when our sitter had an emergency. She took great care of our dogs and sent photos and updates on how they were doing. She paid attention to our instructions and left our home in perfect shape. We would definitely book Casey again.”

“Arica was incredibly attentive and kind to my two cats. One 10-month old and one 14-year old. She checked in regularly and sent amazing photos of them. Definitely would recommend to others.”

About: I’ve spent the last 10 years caring for both dogs and cats, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m a big believer that great pet care is a mix of love, routine, and understanding what each animal truly needs. Whether your pet thrives on long walks, quiet company, mental enrichment games, or a consistent daily schedule, I’m there to make sure they feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for. I’ve learned a lot about dog nutrition, behavior, and enrichment over the years, so I’m always happy to support special diets, picky eaters, anxious pups, or pets who need a little extra stimulation to feel their best. I follow routines exactly as you set them—mealtimes, meds, walks, play, bedtime rituals—because your pet’s comfort matters most. Most of all, I’m here to give you peace of mind. You’ll get reliable communication, plenty of photo updates, and a sitter who notices the little things. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m free after 1 pm on weekdays and wide open on weekends, so your pet gets plenty of attention whenever you need it. I’m only available for overnights on Fridays and Saturdays but I can house sit till late night on the days I can’t stay overnight. If you’re looking for a time that doesn’t quite fit this schedule, just reach out—I can see if I can make it work with a little notice. A day with me starts by following your pet’s routine—meals, potty breaks, and plenty of snuggles. Dogs get walks, playtime, and mental enrichment, while cats get attention, cozy cuddles, and interactive play. Drop-ins include feeding, meds, and extra love, and house sitting means continuous companionship and care. You’ll always get updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
