“Holly did a great job house sitting our two boys and what turned out to be, during a blizzard. She was responsive and flexible when our flight home got cancelled, delaying our return. We had great peace of mind knowing the boys were well cared for. We will be booking with Holly again!”
“Fabulous! Definitely book Madeline! Her schedule is flexible because of school and she is able to be at your house for as many hours as you need her. We have a one year old and a puppy. Our house is crazy! She handled everything with ease. Honestly, I hope her schedule stays open so that she’s available for me anytime I need her.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and other pets of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I worked and helped run a dog day care and I really like it. I also grew up on a small farm at the age of 13 and helped my friends with their animals on their farms and in their household. I currently have 2 dogs and 1 cat with me. I currently am a traveling cna right now and miss meeting new dogs . I do have days off and when I do I would love to watch and take care of your pets needs. I have a fenced yard that your dog can play in and if your dog needs to be carted I can do that too. Can work with what you need done with your pet.
About: I’ve always loved animals ever since I was little! I grew up with a dog and she was my best friend! Right now I have 5 cats and I love each of their different personalities! I worked at a boarding resort for 2 years and took care of dogs and cats and I loved it! I have also taken care of several family and friend’s pets for the past 6 years!

About: We have had the pleasure of owning a small business called "Pet-Inn" and boarded many dogs! Me and my mom took care of others dogs for quite some time and really enjoyed it. This experience helped me become passionate about entrepreneurship as well as working towards a compassionate connection with your pets! I currently have a part-time small business I'm running apart from being a "SAHM" so I will have plenty of time to get to know your beloved pet and get to know them so I can take care of them in the best way I know possible! I have some free time in my schedule, so finding a slot during the week to care for your pet works well for us. I have a now 6-year-old who adores small dogs, cats, and other animals! I am well aware of the responsibilities of pet care, but I want to emphasize that your pet's safety is my top priority.
About: I’ve cared for a variety of pets over the years, including dogs of all ages. I have hands-on experience with puppies who need structure and patience, as well as senior dogs who require extra attention, medication, and a gentle touch. Whether it’s going for long walks, playtime, or just providing comfort and companionship, I genuinely love caring for animals and making sure they feel safe and happy. What sets me apart is my attention to detail and calm, caring nature. I treat every pet like they’re my own, taking time to learn their personality. I’m reliable, communicative, and always go the extra mile to make sure both pets and their owners feel comfortable. I fit pet care into my routine during my free time, usually in the mornings and evenings during the week, and more flexible on weekends. I ensure a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment. I build trust through gentle handling, consistent routines, and lots of affection. I follow specific care instructions and prioritize the pet’s comfort and well-being.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience with both young and senior pets, including those with medical needs. I’ve cared for my parents’ dog after a major surgery, which involved giving medications, monitoring recovery, and making sure he stayed calm and comfortable. I’ve also watched my aunt’s senior dog and her kittens, so I understand the different care routines, energy levels, and attention each age group needs. I’m very patient, responsible, and always make sure pets feel safe and loved in my care. I work full time from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m., which gives me plenty of availability in the afternoons, evenings, and on weekends for pet care. I’m very organized and plan my schedule around the needs of the pets I’m caring for. Whether it’s evening visits, feeding, litter box cleaning, or just spending quality time with them, I always make sure they get the attention they need. In my home, I make sure pets have a safe, calm, and clean environment where they can feel comfortable and relaxed. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any medications they may need. I also make sure they have quiet spaces to rest and lots of attention and love throughout the day. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect I would my own. I stick closely to their normal routine to help reduce stress, keep everything tidy, and make sure the pets feel secure in their own space. I give regular updates so owners know how their pets are doing and can feel at ease while they’re away.
About: I’ve had dogs growing up my whole life. I currently have 2 beautiful babies that I love very much. I know how to care for all types of dogs, young or old. I work from 6-2:30 everyday so your pet wouldn’t be alone for too long. I am available everyday for as many days as you need. I am very cautious when it comes to watching other people’s dogs in their home. I will treat the dog and the home with much respect and abide by all rules you have.
