Jacob did an amazing job with our two dogs and home. He came out and met them the night before on short notice. He was a lifesaver and we will be calling him again! Our dogs can be choosy and they hit it off with Jacob right away. Great Experience!

About: I've taken care of many foster pets from puppies to seniors and have always had 2 or more dogs in my household. I volunteered for a few years at a local shelter cleaning cages and giving those babes as much love and attention as I could. I hope your pup and I can have a great time! I'm currently not working so I am available for your pup anytime! I'm dedicated to giving them the best care that I can and often! I have a sweet rescue husky of my own who loves to meet new friends. Your pup will enjoy running around on our 3 acres or even a trip to the park! If your pup prefers walks I live in a large suburb with many great routes!

Where do I begin, Gillian is an AMAZING person and sitter. Before leaving our beloved Moose in her care she walked him a couple of times and every time he returned with the biggest smile on his face. We had originally scheduled Gillian for two weeks but when we were faced with a family emergency and had to return she came to the rescue. Helping us update the booking and most importantly checking on Moose two additional times after we had technically stopped being booked. She is a savior and an angel and saved us so much stress and worry.

Maya did an awesome job sitting our home, cat, chickens, 2 cockatiels, and kinda hyper and quirky 60 lb dog for a week. She sent daily updates and pictures to let us know all was going well. Our fur babies had a great time with Maya and were well taken care of. Your animals and home are in good hands with Maya!

We loved Lena and so did our pup! Lena stayed in our home for almost a week and took great care of our dog while we were gone. She was great at communicating with us, giving me plenty of peace of mind since we don't leave our girl often. We returned to a home that probably looked better than we left it and a happy and at ease dog. Definitely recommend and would happily rebook!

About: Hi! I’m a local woman with years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I approach every animal with deep love, respect, & a strong sense of responsibility—safety and comfort are always my priorities. I’m currently studying psychology through online classes, which gives me a flexible schedule and an attentive, thoughtful approach to pet care. One of my favorite things to do is get outside, so if your dog loves adventure, I’d be happy to take them on trail runs or hikes with me! I always approach each pet with gentleness, patience, and respect. Whether it’s a trail run with an energetic pup or a quiet visit with a shy cat, I tailor my care to meet their needs. I’m currently taking online psychology classes, which gives me a flexible schedule and a thoughtful, attentive approach to pet care. Safety, trust, and love are at the heart of everything I do. When caring for pets in my home, I prioritize their safety and comfort above all. I create a calm, secure environment that’s free from hazards (no loose cords, toxic plants, or access to unsafe areas). I make sure each pet has their own space to decompress, especially for cats or anxious dogs. I stick closely to your pet’s usual routine for feeding, walks, medication, and rest, and I keep in close communication with you throughout their stay—updates, photos, anything that gives you peace of mind. I never leave dogs unattended outside, and I make sure doors, gates, and windows are always secure. I also do slow, supervised introductions if there are other animals in the home (or none at all if your pet needs solo time). My goal is to make every pet feel safe, seen, and genuinely cared for while you’re away.

About: I have had pets for my entire life. I currently have a dog and two cats. As a kid, I loved learning about animal communication so I have a pretty good read on how animals are thinking and feeling. I have also worked with farm animals and fish. I cared for a senior dog and cat for a while and have petsitted for friends and family members in the past. I am free most of the day on weekdays and until 3 on Sundays. I like to walk and don't mind going back and forth between houses. I currently cannot take your pets home at this time. However, I will be seeking houses within walking distance so I will never be too far away.

Schuyler was an absolute life-saver. The first day of our vacation my mother fell and broke her hip and I was extremely stressed and spent my entire vacation in a hospital in Charleston, SC. Schuyler continued to check on me daily and sent pictures and updates about Crosby and Murphy. She managed my house, checked my mail, and made sure everything was running smoothly at home so I could focus on my mother and her care. When I got home, the house was perfect and the pups were healthy and happy. I cannot recommend Schuyler enough. She was absolutely awesome!!! Jean Scott

About: As an animal person since birth I work hard to understand the specific needs and wants of each animal family member. I have worked with a wide variety of animals my whole life, in vet clinics, animal rehabs, farms, and homes. I can provide walks, hikes, senior care, interactive play time, personal attention, socialization, and general bathing and maintenance. I am incredibly intuitive and patient and pride myself in providing unique adaptive care to each pet. No pet is too big or small; too young or old! I care for all species as well. (dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, etc.) All animals deserve love and care! My work schedule is currently very flexible so most days are available at any time. I make sure to keep my calendar up to date. The safety of your pet is number one. I am more then happy to put in time to build trust with your pet. I even have a very patient dog of my own who can provide a friend to your dog or cat and help with socializing young or nervous animals. I not only care for your pet but your home. Any mess made by me or your pet I make sure to clean!

Alex recently watched our dog and cat while we were out of town on vacation. I can’t say enough about Alex and the care she took of our animals and home. I never once had to worry my babies were being well taken care of. She provided multiple daily updates and photos and I got a bit jealous by how much my pets seemed to love her. My cat is normally a bit timid around strangers and he quickly warmed up to her. I would definitely recommend Alex for your future pet needs.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I truly treat every pet like family. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages—from energetic puppies to sweet senior pups. I’m also a dog owner myself, so I know how important it is to find someone trustworthy and attentive. I stay active, love spending time outdoors, and always make sure pets get the exercise, love, and attention they deserve. Whether it's sticking to a feeding routine, giving medications, or just making sure your dog gets plenty of playtime, I’ve got it covered! I’m currently working part time but I’m very flexible. I can do early mornings, late nights, overnights, etc. if you need me, I’m there to take care of your pet! When I’m in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect and care I would my own. I make sure your pet sticks to their usual routine, gets lots of attention, and feels comfortable in their familiar environment. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and messages so you know how your pet is doing while you're away.

Emma provided fantastic care for my 2 cats! She was flexible, communication was great, and I loved all the pictures she sent me of my girls. I’ve already booked my next reservation with her! My girls are usually shy but it made me so happy and at ease that they were comfortable playing and exploring with Emma here.

Jacob was amazing and we felt comfortable knowing our babies were safe and being cared for. He was super quick to reply to my messages checking in and he sent me pics and thorough updates daily. I have an older dog who is diabetic and blind and jacob was great with him giving him his insulin shots with no issues. We also had a newly adopted dog and Jacob was comfortable taking care of a dog that we were still getting to know.

Gillian was great. She’s trustworthy and prompt. Unfortunately we have an extremely skittish dog who just doesn’t warm up to everyone and that made it impossible for Gillian to complete the job. Not her fault whatsoever. I would recommend her for “normal” pets.

We had a fantastic experience with Maya! She came over beforehand for a meet and greet, which gave us a lot of confidence going into the booking. She stayed at our house for three nights/four days and took excellent care of our two dogs and two cockatiels. One of our dogs is high-needs and requires daily medication, and Maya handled everything perfectly—just as we would. She kept in touch every day with updates and wasn’t afraid to ask questions if anything came up, which we really appreciated. Our cockatiels aren’t exactly the friendliest, but she still made the effort to care for them, and we’re so grateful for that extra attention. We came home to a clean house, happy pets, and total peace of mind. We would absolutely recommend Maya and would book with her again in a heartbeat!
