“Samantha was amazing, as always! She takes great photos that always make us laugh, and I can tell our dogs our comfortable with her. She provides wonderful and expert care to our dog who has special needs due to cancer.”



About: I’ve had dogs all my life and it seemed the family dogs always gravitated toward me. I can’t imagine life without them! I’ve been caring for other’s dogs ever since I got my drivers license. The first dog I watched for a family (a beautiful Alaskan husky) had diabetes and required diabetic shots twice a day. Even though it hurt to have to give him shots, I loved having the opportunity to care for dogs other than my own. Since then I’ve had the opportunity of being the go-to dog watcher for several families with several different dog (and cat) breeds. I will make every effort to give your dog the same care that I was able to give Skyler and the rest of the dogs I’ve had the great fortune of watching and taking care of. There’s not many things that give me more joy than spending time with dogs. I currently work from home Monday and Friday so in addition to the weekend, it opens up availability to be present for the doggie. I’m in the office Tuesday - Thursday but available for morning/evening. I have a fenced in backyard and ample space inside the house to make your dog comfortable. I can crate if needed, but also have rooms that can function as “dog” rooms for the periods when I need to leave the house. I have my own Belgian Malinois, who mostly does her own thing. :)

“Kellie was awesome! The pictures were great and completely brightened our day. Based on the descriptions she sent in her messages and updates, it was clear to us that she took the time to get to know the individual personalities of our two pups. It’s so comforting to know that our dogs are in such good hands with her. We are so very happy that we found her, and can’t wait to have her back!”


About: I've been taking care of dogs almost my whole life, and cats for at least 10 years. I'm most experienced in taking care of bigger dogs, but can do smaller as well. For age, I've had puppies, seniors, and everything in-between. Neighbors, family, and friends have always enjoyed whenever I take care of their loved animals. I currently have a mostly open availability, especially on week days. I take care of mine, and my roommates pets on the daily, and would have plenty of time to come take care of yours too! I would not be able to board in my home, but I am more than willing to stay as long as needed in your home to give your pets the best care I possibly can. I would follow your instructions on your specific pets care routine, and ask any questions I have. As well as walks, I can play with your pets or give them space.

About: I have loved and owned animals as long as I can remember. I was raised with dogs, and other small animals! My daughter and I lost our Ollie in August 2022 at 4 years old to lung cancer and would love to care for your pet until we are ready for our next family member. I am comfortable taking care of pets of any age. I can provide food and water bowls, blankets, dog beds, stuffed toys, and I have a medium size kennel. All you need to bring is food, treats, leash/harness and any special comfort items. My daughter loves to go outside every chance she gets so they will have a lot of outside time when the weather permits. They will be allowed to roam the house as they want and are allowed on furniture – like I said- spoiled. I love to send pictures while you are gone to share their adventures while they are here. I work from home so I will be around a majority of the time to play and take care of your family member while they are here. I have a fenced in yard – it is a short fence so fence jumpers are probably not the best fit for me. We can crate them when we are gone if needed and will do our best to stick to their regular routine.

“Suzanne did an AMAZING job accommodating my last-minute request for a dog walker. And on a Saturday to boot! She was very polite and professional, and my boy warmed up to her immediately! She's very confident and arrived promptly as scheduled. I will definitely be using her again!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs from puppies to seniors. I’ve worked with dogs that are special needs and require medication. I love all dogs but have a soft spot for giant breeds. I have fostered for a giant breed rescue and had 2 big boys of my own for over 10 years. I work a pretty flexible day job that allows me to be available to take care of any pet needs. I am a single dad and my daughter loves helping me out with the pet snuggles. I live in an apartment that is very accommodating to pets of all kind. I am 2 blocks from a great park for walking and running. I have 2 cats that live with me and always love meeting new furry friends. I also have professional animal care experience in a zoological setting.

About: I have been a dog lover my whole life and an owner for 10 years. I absolutely adored our family dog and loved playing with him and taking him on long walks. My current work schedule, as a nurse working long shifts, does not allow me to provide the best possible home for my own dog but I would love to spend my free time taking care of yours! I enjoy living an active lifestyle, including long walks with my friends’ and neighbors’ dogs, spending time outdoors, and reading. On my days off I have a very flexible schedule and am willing to visit when it works best for your pets. I’d be happy to answer any questions you may have about my experience with pet care! I am available weekends and Wednesdays to care for your loved ones! I am also available some evenings after 6:00pm. If you have any questions about my availability please reach out! I will care for your pet in the best way for them. Please feel free to tell me their likes or dislikes. I prefer to take them on walks, but whatever your pet needs are I am willing to help!

About: What sets me apart as an animal sitter is not only my deep love and compassion for animals but also my unique combination of skills and experience. I have a proven track record of successfully training puppies and providing dedicated senior care to older pets, ensuring their comfort, safety, and happiness. My background in puppy training equips me with the patience and expertise needed to establish positive behaviors and routines early on. This not only benefits the puppy but also provides peace of mind for pet owners. Additionally, my experience in senior pet care allows me to attentively address the unique needs of older animals, including administering medication, managing mobility challenges, and providing the gentle care and attention they deserve. Beyond specialized skills, I am known for my responsible and reliable approach. Pet owners can trust that I will adhere to any specific care instructions, maintain open communication, and create a fun and engaging environment for their furry companions. My commitment to maintaining a safe and nurturing space for animals, combined with my ability to adapt to individual needs, truly sets me apart in delivering exceptional care as an animal sitter. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine, and I've structured my commitments to ensure that every pet under my care receives the attention, care, and love they deserve. Despite having a part-time job, I have established a well-balanced schedule that revolves around the needs of the pets. In the mornings, before heading to my part-time job, I dedicate quality time to feed, exercise, and engage with the animals. I understand the importance of regular exercise and play for pets, and I make it a priority to ensure they have stimulating activities to keep them mentally and physically active. During my lunch break, I always make a point to check in on the pets, whether it's a quick walk, playtime, or simply ensuring they have fresh water and a comfortable environment. This midday break allows me to provide them with some companionship and reassurance throughout the day. Upon returning from work, I allocate a significant portion of my evening to the pets. This involves feeding, longer walks, interactive play, and any specific care needs they might have, such as grooming or medication. I understand that pets thrive on consistency and routine, and I work diligently to maintain this routine to ensure their well-being. During the weekends, my schedule is more flexible, allowing me to dedicate extended periods of time to pet care. This is when I can engage in more elaborate activities, training sessions, and outings to provide enriching experiences for the animals. Incorporating pet care into my routine requires careful planning and commitment, but it's a responsibility I take seriously and wholeheartedly. I believe that every pet deserves personalized attention and care, and I am fully dedicated to providing them with the best possible care within the framework of my daily and weekly routine. When caring for pets, whether in my own home or at a client's residence, I am committed to providing a safe, comfortable, and nurturing environment that meets their unique needs. The specific care approach can vary depending on the service I am offering. Caring for Pets in My Own Home: If I am providing pet care in my own home, I make sure to create a welcoming and pet-friendly space. I ensure that there are designated areas for rest, play, and meals. Regular exercise and mental stimulation are key components of my routine, so I schedule daily walks, playtime, and interactive activities to keep pets engaged and happy. Additionally, I adhere to any dietary requirements and feeding schedules provided by the pet owner, and I maintain clear communication to keep them updated on their pet's well-being. Caring for Pets in a Client's Home: When offering pet care services in a client's home, my goal is to maintain a sense of familiarity and routine for the pet. I start by discussing the pet's daily routine, preferences, and any special needs with the owner. I strive to replicate their regular environment as closely as possible, ensuring that the pet feels comfortable and at ease. This includes following feeding schedules, walking routes, and playtime activities that the pet is accustomed to. In both scenarios, safety is paramount. I take precautions to pet-proof the environment to prevent accidents or incidents. I am diligent about administering any required medications and providing the appropriate care for pets with specific medical conditions or dietary restrictions. Regular communication with pet owners is a fundamental aspect of my approach, as I believe in keeping them informed about their pet's activities, behavior, and overall well-being. Ultimately, my pet care philosophy revolves around treating each animal as an individual and tailoring my services to cater to their unique personalities, needs, and preferences. Whether in my home or at a client's residence, I am dedicated to ensuring that every pet receives the love, attention, and care they deserve.
