“Kelly was amazing with our 3 dogs! They absolutely loved her. She is so friendly and went above and beyond to make both us and the dogs feel comfortable. We really appreciated the photo updates and check-ins—it gave us peace of mind while we were away. Kelly is reliable, caring, and clearly great with animals. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter!”

“Jaden is a fantastic and professional pet sitter. We have two dogs, two cats all with their own unique needs and personalities and she handles them like a pro and loves them like they’re her own. She sends along daily photos which is not necessary but so nice when you miss your fur babies. We’ve had her watch our animals a handful of times and it’s always been a wonderful experience. We know they’re in good hands!”

About: I care for my two pets I have at home. (German Shepard & English Bulldog) I also often care for my sister’s pets when she is away. (Basset Hound, Chihuahua & Dachshund) I am familiar with many different dog breeds & their needs! I have my own small business & I make my own schedule therefore I have plenty of time to watch your pup! Always free Mon-Fri! I have a fenced yard and I have dog gates throughout my house and backyard where my dogs have their own designated spaces. I am able to adjust as needed.
“Tatiana was awesome. She was very communicative and detailed and my boys, who don't usually care too much for strangers, absolutely loved her. 10/10 can't recommend her enough.”

“Sidney was a HUGE help. We needed a house sitter last minute and she responded quickly and was willing to do a meet and greet in advance for our peace of mind. We were out of state so it was very important we had updates and communication. Sidney went above and beyond to provide photos, videos and constant reassurance of how things were going. She respected our house rules and asked for permission before anything. We appreciated her greatly and are now rebooking her moving forward🤗”

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all breeds and ages since I was young. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets as if they were my own. I’m comfortable with energetic puppies, senior dogs who need a gentler touch, and everything in between. I always make sure each pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and affection while keeping their routine consistent. My goal is to make every pet feel happy, safe, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine! I make time every day for meal times, walks, playtime, and cuddles, ensuring your pet always feels loved and cared for. I provide a calm, secure space for pets to relax and play. I’m attentive to each animal’s needs and make sure they feel comfortable and safe.
“Kat was amazing with my girl! She kept me in the loop every time she took her out, fed her, and walked her. She responded quickly. She was very caring and loving to my pitty girl. Definitely will reach out again”

“Sydney was so great! She is so kind and caring. She took great care of Remi and my home while I was away on a work trip. It was so nice to have peace of mind while I was traveling. I will definitely recommend and use Sydney again!”

“Our pup, Tilly, was happy with Jess and so are we. He took her for her walks and the neighbors who ran into him and Tilly said that he was great. Upon our return, the house was neat and clean. Can't get much better. Will definitely use Jess again.”

About: I am another dog lover, especially furry ones, I give them their basic needs and analyze their personality. Give them a save environment and love as much as they give us. I am currently working on building a company part time and I am active in my faith, so I am able to care for dogs. I have a fenced yard with a dog run and a dog, I take Rocky out for his potty times, along with his food and water. He loves his chewie toy bacon flavored.
“Faith was phenomenal!! We were gone for over 12 days for our wedding and she house sat and cat sat for our kitty. We felt so comfortable being away to enjoy our wedding knowing Charlie was in good hands with Faith looking after him!! She sent pictures daily and she played with him, brushed him, kept him company and made sure he had with water and food. She kept our house nice and clean and was the perfect pet sitter. Highly recommend!! So happy he was well taken care of.”

About: ive taken care of dogs, cats, horses, even reptiles i have grooming experience as well through the ROC veterinary technician program i attended a while back i'm free Monday through Saturday to attend to your pets needs whether its walking, potty breaks, or paying them a visit at your home to play I am incredibly sensitive and extra careful when it comes to animals. when on walks im vigilant of my surroundings as to avoid something potentially dangerous for your pup, when visiting at the home all deadlines for feeding and bathing will be met as well as ample time to play and run all the energy out. if anything medically were to occur with your pet you would be the first to know and I will run them to the vet if that is something you would prefer
About: I’ve loved animals my whole life. Growing up, I was the kid in the neighborhood who always stopped to say hi to every dog walking by, and whose front yard became a safe, happy place for pups to play. I’ve always been the dependable neighbor people turn to whether you have to leave town unexpectedly or just want someone you trust to care for your furry friends at your home or mine. My love for animals runs deep, and caring for them comes naturally. I’ll always treat them with love, respect, and put their comfort first. I’m home full‑time, and pet care is my top priority. Your fur babies will always get the love, attention, and kindness they deserve. I’m 100% dedicated to walking, playing with, feeding, and meeting all their needs no distractions, just care. I also have two very well‑behaved fur babies of my own and have had dogs in my life since I was a child, so I know how important consistency, trust, and understanding are. Hello! Thank you for trusting me to care for your fur babies, animals have always been part of my life, and I understand how much they mean to you. Here’s how I care for them, whether in your home or mine: I follow your pet’s routine carefully feeding times, walks, bathroom breaks, playtime. I want them to feel as comfortable and safe as possible. I always get detailed information up front: dietary needs, health issues, medications, favorite toys/activities, comfort items, and any special instructions. In your home: I respect your space, clean and tidy up after meals or walks, keep everything as I found it (or better), and follow your rules for rooms or areas that are off‑limits. In my home: I have a safe, calm space with familiar items, a bed or crate as needed, access to water, a secure yard or play area (if applicable), plus lots of love, attention and play. I make safety a priority: clear floors, remove hazards, check for escaped pets, secure doors/gates/windows. I stay connected: I send regular updates with photos, so you know how they’re doing, eating well, playing, sleeping comfortably. Extra care: for pets needing medication, extra attention, or with special needs, I follow directions accurately and monitor their well‑being closely. I promise your pet will be treated like family, with respect, kindness, and full dedication. I have two well‑behaved dogs of my own and have cared for animals since childhood, so this is not just a job, it’s a passion.
“Atlas does an amazing job taking care of my cat while I travel. He is thoughtful and always lets me know how she is doing. He takes good care of my house while he is there. He does a great job at communicating about any details and any relevant updates. He’s a joy to work with!”
