My dogs have a lot of energy and require several walks. Shawnee was very punctual. Had excellent communication. Handled my dog barking at her well. And, took them on nice long walks. Would use her again.

Shannon was fantastic! I’m so glad we got a chance to work with her. Her communication was excellent, she arrived on time (slightly early actually) had a wonderful attitude and gave Jax lots of love and exercise while we were gone. He was pooped when we got home! I would highly recommend working with Shannon if you need a pet sitter.

Just moved to the area and was fortunate to find Zoe to house sit for us during a short trip. Professional, sweet, kind and a great communicator. She left our home clean and our pets well cared for. We hope to have Zoe sit for us in the future.

Karla was absolutely wonderful with my two Golden Retrievers, Shiloh and Snow. She was kind, responsible, communicative, and clearly cared for them as if they were her own. Throughout my trip, I had complete peace of mind knowing they were in such loving and capable hands. She kept me updated, followed all care instructions, and went above and beyond to make sure they were happy and comfortable. I returned home to two very well-cared-for and content dogs. I highly recommend Karla and will gladly book with her again!

About: I’ve dog sat for friends and fellow cast members for over 20 years! I’m truly devoted and prefer to keep your dog in its familiar surroundings. I’m a full-time Disney cast member that have scheduled Fridays and Saturdays off and would be more than happy to watch your baby over the weekend. I prefer to have the dog in its familiar environment and to have a comprehensive plan feeding, sleeping, emergency veterinarian etc. Comfort is the key word!

About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was 12 and have been pet and house sitting for the last 10 years. I love taking energetic pups on long walks or playing fetch in a secure yard, and I’m equally comfortable creating cozy spaces for senior dogs. I have two dogs of my own (one large, one medium), and I’m experienced with administering medications—even to picky ones who need a creative touch. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters off and on since 2020 and have worked with reactive and anxious dogs who may require extra time to warm up to strangers. I love spending time with both dogs and cats, and making them feel safe, happy, and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m a full‑time freelancer with a very flexible schedule. I’m available every day between 8 AM and 11 PM, and I can easily adjust my day to meet your pet’s needs—whether that’s a morning walk, a midday check‑in, or an evening visit. My open schedule also allows me to accommodate last‑minute bookings, so you can count on me even when plans change unexpectedly. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick to the routines your cats and dogs already know so they feel secure and comfortable. I follow your feeding, walking, play, and litter box instructions, keep their spaces clean, and make sure your home stays tidy and secure. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality—whether that’s a shy cat, an energetic dog, or anything in between—and I work to make every visit calm, safe, and stress‑free.

About: Hi, I’m Hannah! Animals have always been a huge part of my life—not just as pets, but as family. I’ve spent years caring for dogs and cats of all ages, personalities, and needs, including high-energy breeds, seniors, and pets who need a little extra patience and understanding. I have 4 dogs of my own, so I understand the day-to-day responsibility, love, and attention that goes into proper care. Being around animals comes naturally to me—they tend to trust me quickly, and I truly enjoy building that bond with each one. Their comfort, happiness, and safety always come first with me. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine. I structure my day around the pets in my care to make sure they get the attention, consistency, and engagement they need. Because I prioritize a calm and flexible environment, I’m able to adapt to different energy levels—whether your dog needs structured activity or a slower, more relaxed pace. I’m very attentive and present, so your pet won’t just be “fit in”—they’ll be a priority. Safety and trust are my top priorities. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible to keep things familiar and stress-free. I pay close attention to behavior, body language, and environment to make sure your pet feels secure. I’m especially mindful with: • Dogs with anxiety or fear-based behaviors • High prey drive dogs (secure handling and awareness) • Introducing or managing different environments carefully I always move at the pet’s pace—never forcing interaction—and focus on creating a calm, stable presence they can rely on. If your pet has quirks or specific needs, I’m happy to work with them. Every animal is different, and I respect that.

About: Growing up I'd go door-to-door with my dad to hand him tools while he did his handy-man thing. However, the qualifying question I would ask before going with him to someone's house was, "Do they have pets?" If the answer was yes, then I was buckled up before he could get his tool belt on. In my free time I enjoy reading and cozying up to my senior dog, Manu (Rat terrier), adoring my princess, Raya (siamese cat mix) and goofing off with Jack (black tabby mix). 🐕🐈🐈 I have experience giving medications regularly, i.e. eye drops, ear drops, liquid syringe by mouth, tablets, pill pockets, etc. I also bathe my dog and cats, which is an added service I can provide during our visits. Feel free to reach out to have your baby clean and ready for extra lovinz when you get back. I understand that our pets have their own timelines and "the boss" gets cranky if we don't have their food ready asap. Next thing you know, you're labeled the "Spare Human" haha. My availability is pretty flexible with the exception of crack of dawn and late evening visits as those will be accepted situationally. No one can treat your pets as well as you do, but I will most certainly try to fill those shoes. I will attempt to cater my services based on each babies needs, so please be prepared to brief me on your pet's love languages and basic needs.

About: I have always taken care of my family and friends animals while they were away. I have also always grown up with animals in my house. I like teaching dogs new tricks if I’m allowed and playing with them. Due to my job I don’t work during the summer which clears out my schedule and gives a lot of free time during the day and night. I like to spoil my animals in the ways I know they like to be. I have three dogs and two cats and they all have different personalities. I love showing them affectionate all the time.I like to give them the best of everything, some people say I do to much such as buying expensive food or safe toys but I see animals as my children or friends.

Shawnee was fantastic. She came out and met our fur baby a week before the visit, stayed in touch with us the entire time through the process. We received daily updates and photos during our four day trip. The entire process was easy and our pup and home were well taken care of. I can't recommend her enough!

Madison did an incredible job sitting with my pup Evie who is extremely anxious. Madison was so kind, patient and loving that gave us peace of mind that Evie was in good hands while we spent the day at the theme park. She’s super friendly and an excellent communicator sending frequent updates and photos. I would absolutely recommend Madison to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you so much!
