“Erica was prompt, reliable and sweet to our two small pups. We received regular communication from her with photos. The moment we met her we felt confident that our puppies (who are like babies to us) would be well cared for and she exceeded our expectations. I recommend her for sure! Thank you, Erica!”


“I had a great experience with Robin! She did in my home sitting for 3 nights to take care of my 2 dogs and 1 cat. She sent me pictures everyday. I felt very comfortable with her care.”


“Sheyenne did an amazing job watching our chewie. When we returned chewie was in great shape, happy and very well cared for.

About: I grew up working on my grandmothers farm and helped managed a rescue of birds, reptiles, farm animals, rodents and house pets. I now have three dogs and rebuilding my farm! I’m a stay at home mom for a 9and 3 year old but I’m pretty flexible with time as I have help! I can work with what ever schedule you have and if not and can work to help find someone for you! I have an extensive history of caring for pets, whether my own or others, including feeding, playing with them, talking to them, keeping them company, and much more while their owners are away, at others home I try to play and confer them as much as possible try and keep them on their routine and try not to change much of their daily style.

About: Though this is my first dog sitting job I have grown up with multiple dogs and love animals so much! I’m willing to watch over any sort of dog as I love all breeds:) I am able to train dogs fairly easy and am willing to help with whatever needs your animal has. I currently run an at home baking business that allows me to watch over my dogs and any other animals at all times. I’m an active person myself so I love to take dogs on multiple walks every day. My pets are my best friends and I treat them with love and respect. Every animal I take care of will be loved and never treated horribly.

About: I have worked consistently with a couple families and several drop in services for family friends! I have taken the wonderful doggos on walks, assisted with their medications, fed them, provided baths/brushed their fur, gave them extra pets/hugs. I can provide basic animal care, I always do my best to observe their body language as well to make sure they feel comfortable and safe. I have also helped with a special needs doggo who was blind, gave him his medicine, guided him through his backyard to use the restroom, etc. I would also love to provide any cleaning such as cleaning their bowls, vacuuming up any hair, cleaning crates, etc. I do work full time on the weekends during the night and a few days of babysitting during the day during the week, but I am always flexible with my schedule! I always listen to the let parents and how their schedule typically is and go off of that, I really do love animals so I’ll spend more time playing with them, especially if the doggo wants that play time and extra love!

About: I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs; I don’t have a preference between the two. I have two cats of my own from the same litter. Im willing to stay overnight with your fur babies or make multiple visits in a day for care and play with them. I work a regular 9-5 working in ABA therapy, so I can make morning and evening visits for up to an hour at a time. I like to give my cats two meals a day with a mixture of wet food and dry food. They like lots of cuddles, which is perfect cause so do I. I mostly pet sit for my parents when they go out of town, and I like to take their lab for walks and pets.

“Heather did an excellent job watching my pups! She went above and beyond taking care of them and my house. I just moved into a new home and she even helped clean/unpack some and it was truly appreciated! I would definitely use her again and trust she would do a great job!”


About: I currently have two kittens about a year old. I’ve always had pets throughout my life. Dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, bearded dragons. I even had a prairie dog for a while. I love animals and getting to know each of their unique personalities. My work days aren’t totally set but I am able to be flexible when needed. I work Monday-Friday and have the weekends off. My days/hours can be switched as long as I have time to make them aware. I can’t board in my home but I’m happy to come to yours. I like to come by in advance for us to meet, and for me to get acquainted with your fur friends. It’s important to me that all of us are comfortable. I take notes of everything because every animal is different, just like us. I’m more than happy to send daily pictures/updates as often as you want. My goal is for you to have the most stress free trip away as possible.

About: I have had animals my entire life! They are my best friends! I have always had a passion for animals! Animals are so special to this world! I am currently working at a hospital full time. I am looking for some extra money to go to school. And would love to meet your pets! I have a big yard to play and have fun in! I have 3 dogs that live to make friends and play!! I have kennels for the ones that are crate trained.

About: I’ve taken care of all different types of animals, from large to big, from bathing them to giving them medicine. Friends and families always come to me when they need their pets watched after! I am currently going into my freshman year of college online to become a vet tech! and with having so much free time I’m able to give your pups all the attention and loving all day everyday! I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space, I also have a 6 month old pup of my own who’s ready to welcome your fur baby and also have company!

About: Ahoy, pet parents! I’m a retired Coast Guard veteran with 22 years of service and over 30 years of caring for animals—both on land and at sea. Whether your pup needs a daily walk or a comfy port to stay while you’re away, I’ve got you covered! I offer reliable, tail-wagging walks and safe, loving boarding with plenty of belly rubs and play. With me at the helm, your furry friend gets first-class care, every time. So drop anchor and relax—your pet’s in shipshape hands! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—it’s not just a job, it’s a lifestyle. As a retired Coast Guard veteran, I thrive on structure, reliability, and purpose, and caring for animals gives me all of that and more. Whether it’s morning walks, afternoon check-ins, or overnight boarding, I plan my days around the needs of the pets in my care. I’ve been around animals for over 30 years, so feeding, walking, playtime, and even administering medications are second nature. Every day is a mission to keep tails wagging and whiskers twitching, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. In My Home: Your pet’s safety and comfort come first. I have a secure, fully fenced yard perfect for supervised play and exercise, as well as clean, comfortable kennels for pets who need their own space to relax. I follow your pet’s routine—meals, meds, walks, and cuddle time—to help them feel right at home. My home is calm, structured, and always pet-friendly. In Your Home: When visiting your home, I treat it with the utmost respect and care. I stick to your instructions and your pet’s normal routine—whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or litter box cleaning—to minimize stress and keep things familiar. I also provide regular updates so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. No matter where I care for your pets, they’ll get dependable, loving attention—just like they’re part of the crew!

“Jessica was great! It's not easy letting a perfect stranger house-sit for you but Jessica did great and totally put my mind at ease. She was great with my 3 babies and I would definitely use her again.”


About: I’ve owned dogs my entire life and couldn’t imagine a world without them. My love for dogs eventually led me to working with them in ways such as being a kennel tech for boarding schools and even being a personal sitter for family and friends while they’re away. I am very comfortable with all sizes and breeds and would love to meet your adorable pups! Currently I’m a stay at home dog mom to 2 pups. This has given me a very open schedule to be able to care for your dog or cat at any time of the day. Although I haven’t offered it yet, I have 2 very friendly dogs and could potentially in the future be available for play dates at my home. Until then I can care for your pet in the very comfort of their own! I will be sure to be VERY respectful to your home and will follow any instruction given in curtesy to ensure your pets enjoy every visit. Cleaning up after myself and any pet messes will also not be an issue!

About: I have had dogs my entire life, as a four years ago I got an orange cat and could not choose between either for the life of me. I cannot wait to meet and take care of your fur babies :) I am currently in nursing school only taking up 2 to 3 days a week. I am not available for on boarding in my home yet due to my animals. I make sure that the bowls are always full, or their food has been given on time along with medication if needed. I also make sure they are getting as much outside time as they can get.

“Charlene was even more amazing the second time around when we asked her to house sit last minute. She kept our dogs entertained, well taken care of and our house exactly how we left it- clean! 😁 she is so great with my large dog who has separation anxiety and sent me tons of photos and videos of him having a great time which made me feel so comfortable. I will definitely be contacting her again for all of my house/dog sitting needs while we’re away.”


About: I've always had a deep love for animals, and caring for pets has been a big part of my life. From dogs and cats to chickens and rabbits, I have experience providing attentive care, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, administering medication, or simply offering snuggles, I treat every pet as if they were my own. As a pet-mom to 3 senior dogs, a calico cat as well as chickens, I understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities. I take the time to provide personalized care that keeps tails wagging and purrs coming!! As of right now, I have plenty of availability for petsitting with no other conflicts in my schedule. I am available at short notice as well. I have several unfenced acres for pets to play and explore on! My pets stay on our property but always have leashes for the babies that need it! Our dogs and cat are free to go indoors or outdoors at their leisure. I also have a room available to separate pets if needed. I have the room to bring in crates if your baby uses one.


About: I'm a lover of all animals, willing to accommodate special hours or instructions, if medications are needed I'm comfortable doing that as well. Have been pet sitting for 10+ years and have yet to meet a dog/pet I don't adore? I'm willing to work with anyone's pet and meet them beforehand to make sure they feel comfortable with me. A pet should always come first so I would want to make sure I can accommodate their needs. I'm a firm believer in in also having a healthy relationship with pet parents and most certainly encourage any questions to make sure your pet and I both be comfortable each other before accepting any job. Please feel free to contact me, I'll answer any questions about myself and background as well as provide references. I am currently a part-time student so my schedule can work around yours. I set my school hours accordingly, therefore it doesn't interfere with the care of your pet. Patience goes a long way when it comes to establishing a connection with a pet. Pets are attached to their owners and some can become sensitive or withdrawn to new people. It's up to me to form a bond with all pets. Most pets I have come across form relationships easily, however there are cases where pets may come with a past. Such as being rescues whose previous owners didn't treat them well . In such cases lots of love, attention and patience would be given on my part to ensure that your pet feels safe.
