About: Hello! I have worked at a boarding kennel for 5 years and have volunteered at the Humane society for 2 years as well. I am comfortable with everything your pet brings to the table! I am proficient in understanding a dogs behavior, your dog will be in trusted hands. I am currently working remote on Wednesdays and Fridays and would love some more dog time! I am available throughout the days on these days. I am also available on weekends! I will be sure your dog has the most fun on our walks! I know my way around many types of harnesses/leashes/muzzles. I can’t wait to get my steps in with your dog!

About: Howzit 🤙 I’m excited to shower your pets with love! I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, always treating them like family—with patience, consistency, and plenty of love. Over the years, I’ve built real-life experience from long walks, silly play sessions, cozy couch naps, and learning the little quirks that make each pet one-of-a-kind. Whether it’s boarding, daycare, or house sitting, my goal is simple: to make your pets feel safe, happy, and cared for—just like they’re at home. Because when your pets are with me, they’re family too. 🐾 I work full time from home Monday thru Friday, with weekends typically spent at the dog park, hiking, or camping (with my doggies). Pet care isn’t just a task in my day—it’s part of my rhythm. I start and end my days with walks, play, and feeding routines, and I naturally build in time for snuggles, potty breaks, and play sessions throughout the day. Whether it’s a weekday or weekend, I keep a flexible schedule so I can give your pets the attention they deserve. Caring for animals has always been part of my daily life, so fitting your pets into my routine feels like second nature. Whether your pets are with me in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, the routine is built around comfort, safety, and fun. That means sticking to their feeding schedules, giving them the right balance of exercise and play, and making time for cuddles and rest. I treat your pets—and your home—with the same care and respect I give my own.

“Brianna did an outstanding job watching my 5 pets and house sitting while I was on vacation for a week. She sent a morning and evening update every day with lots of pictures. All feeding and medications were given on time for the cats and dogs (plus putting some food and water out for the stray cats in my neighborhood)! I even came home to an extremely clean house with fresh bedsheets. I was very impressed by how above and beyond the care of the pets and the house was. 10/10 recommend!!”


“I was impressed with Catherine from start to finish. My pets immediately took to her, and she gave them lots of love and care while I was away. She sent regular updates and pics, and I felt very comfortable with her caring for them in my home. I was extremely impressed and happy with her and her service. Highly recommend her!”


“Wendi did a great job taking care of our whole zoo full of animals and was very diligent about keeping us updated throughout our vacation. We knew the animals were in good hands and didn’t have anything to worry about. We would recommend her anytime!”


“Our 13 and 14 y/o high-maintenance kitties were so delighted with Kristie's care. They took to her right away which is definitely not common. She communicated with us well and understood our action-packed kitty schedule. We felt at ease while we were away for a weekend trip with Kristie at the helm!”


“We were absolutely thrilled with Kayla's exceptional house and pet-sitting services! From the moment we met her, her warm and friendly demeanor put us and Cooper at ease. It was evident that she had a genuine love for animals as she bonded with our energetic Labradoodle, Cooper, in no time. Throughout her time watching over our home and furry friend, Kayla consistently went above and beyond, maintaining excellent communication and sending us regular updates, which reassured us that everything was in capable hands. We returned to a happy and well-cared-for Cooper, and our house was just as we had left it. Kayla's responsible and caring approach truly made our time away stress-free, and we wouldn't hesitate to entrust her with our dog and home in the future.”


“Corinne was fantastic with our dog and two cats. We got lots of pictures and updates and she was very easy to work with throughout the process. We’ve already booked Corinne for our next trip and know the pets and house will be in great hands.”


“Jen was so great with my dachshund Cooper and 2 cats. She sent updates each day and took great care of our home while we were gone on vacation for 6 days. Our Cooper is slow to warm up but was snuggling here by the end of day 1. He even ran to say bye as she was leaving when we got home. We will definitely use her in the future to pet and house sit. Our vacay was worry free because we knew our babies were in good hands.”


“Courtney was very nice and friendly and very quick to respond during the booking process. She was in frequent contact during our trip and sent plenty of photos. I felt very comfortable that she was taking care of our furballs. The house was very clean when we returned home. I would definitely recommend Courtney for your needs. She was very professional and responsive.”



“Dana was terrific! We were in town to catch a baseball game and needed a sitter for our 9 week-old pup, Chester. She was available on very short notice. She immediately put us at ease: Chester loves her! She updated us throughout their visit. She even gave us useful advice about miniature schnauzer nutrition and separation anxiety—she has mini schnauzers of her own. We couldn’t have been any happier, and we look forward to booking Dana the next time we’re in town.”


“Karie was awesome! She took the time to make a trip over to meet our dogs before her first stay, which was so appreciated. She sent us pictures during her stay and kept us in the loop. Great communication. I know my dogs enjoyed her stay and were looking forward to seeing her again soon!”


“Jarett was wonderful. Freya was unfamiliar with him at first but they are now friends. We will happily have him stay with her again. He kept us informed of her well-being, which is always a big relief when you’re away from home.”

About: My 13 year old senior dog, Dixie, recently crossed the rainbow bridge. I’m honoring her by caring for other dogs with the same love and patience. I have 15+ years of experience with dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to seniors with medical or behavioral needs. I’m confident with reactive and shy dogs, medication, and custom routines because I’ve lived it. Your dog’s well-being is my top priority and I will always put your pet first. I provide honest, compassionate care tailored to their needs without judgment. I work full time from home which allows me the flexibility to prioritize pet care in a way I wouldn’t be able to with a traditional office job. This looks like breaks for play time, medication, cuddles or walks when they are needed, not when they can be fit in. I create a calm, secure environment where pets feel safe and comfortable. Whether in my home or theirs, I work on building trust by moving at each pet’s pace and honoring their boundaries. Safety is always my top priority, I supervise pets closely, follow all instructions carefully, and adapt to their unique needs. I keep spaces clean, hazard-free, and ensure pets have fresh water, proper food, and quiet resting spots. For reactive or anxious pets, I use gentle, low stress handling & positive reinforcement or redirecting to help them feel calm and supported. Every care plan is tailored specifically to your pet’s needs after we discuss what works best for them.

“Danyel was a wonderful dogsitter for my 2 American Akitas and 3 cats. She kept everyone safe and comfortable as she spent a whole week in my home. She even vacuumed, unboxed my live plant deliveries, and collected eggs from my chicken coops. She texted photos and kept me up to date. Would recommend and will book again!”


“She was so nice and sweet with our fur babies. Our youngest dog Deacon is every timid and nervous of new people, but he warmed up to her so quickly he was sleeping right next to her the same night she stayed. My husband and I have been recommending her to everyone in the family and anyone on here looking for a pet sitter.”
