“Something about Michelle….she always gave really detailed feedback and made me feel like she loved my pup like her own. She made me really comfortable will def use her next summer and highly recommend.”


About: I have several years experience caring for dogs of all sizes, as well as small animals and exotics. Worked for a couple years at a dog daycare/ boarding facility. I foster dogs with medical and behavioral issues so I’ve seen it all. (Currently taking a break from fostering so I have room to board dogs) I’m home full time right now! I may go out for a couple hours for dog walking, but other than that someone is always here. We have a spare room if they need their own space. We have lots of experience fostering and crate/ rotate. We always make sure to spend equal quality time with each dog. If I am caring for your pets at your home I will spend the night there with them.

“Sabrina is prompt, reliable, communicative, and worked with me on a last minute booking when my circumstances changed. She has been pleasant and flexible to accommodate our needs. She is great with Bruin and I have already booked her again!”


“Arin once again did a wonderful job with Winnie! She took her for a walk, and then played with her outside. She is very reliable and wonderful with Winnie. We are so grateful we met her!”


“My dog gets sooo excited when I tell her Karina is coming over! She loves Karina so much! I am disabled and she is a a Godsend to me helping me care for my dog! Thank you! 💝”

About: Hi there! I'm Bree, a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and personalities I know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and loved when you’re away. That’s why I always communicate clearly with pet parents to understand their needs before taking up a job. I want the best experience for all parties. I can send regular updates, photos, and even a few videos to keep you in the loop! I'm currently working 3 days a week, usually Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays from 8 am to 3 pm at the latest. Pet care can fit into my schedule very well, depending on the needs and wants of the owners and pets. I am very flexible and can adjust accordingly Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I treat every pet with the same level of love, respect, and attention I give my own. In your home, I do my best to keep your pet’s routine consistent—mealtimes, walks, play, and quiet time—because I know how important structure is for their well-being. I’m careful to follow your instructions exactly, and I always double-check details like feeding guidelines, medication, and home security (doors, gates, etc.). I also send regular updates if needed, so you know your pet is happy and safe while you're away.

About: Hi! Some of my first baby pics are with dogs and only recently has that changed. I grew up almost always with my grandmother showing, boarding, grooming, training dogs, and attended many shows with her each year. I even showed a few dogs! As an adult she gave me my first dog, a red male Doberman. I soon became interested in rescue, so volunteered and fostered with the Tarheel Weimaraner Rescue in NC. I fostered four dogs and only kept one- which is pretty good I think! I also worked at a doggy daycare for over a year in NC, introducing me to first hand experience with different breeds, daily meds, senior dog care, and managing a group. Over a decade has come and passed with my 3 amazing dogs, and I was soon empty nesting. I want to offer *walking and running* for larger breed, healthy dogs that need more exercise. My schedule of availability is mostly early morning, late evening, and weekends with limited availability during the week. Schedule will be updated on my profile I am offering walking and running services initially outside of my home; the answer to this is a discussion that would happen with the client prior to hiring!

“Our dog has special medical needs so we can’t trust just anyone with her care. Rachelle made us feel comfortable right away and our dog loved her. We will definitely be using her when I go back to work in the office.”


About: Hi I am Fiona! My boyfriend Filip and I are looking to make some extra money on the side of our full time jobs. We both love animals and would love spending our free time taking care of yours! We have 2 cats currently, but have had dogs of entire lives. We are both active and would love to go on walks with your dogs, but we wouldn’t mind a lazy pet who just wants treats and cuddles! Filip and I both work full time during the week (Engineer and Internal Auditor) so we are looking to do weekend stop ins and weeknight walks. We want your pets to feel comfortable around us as we do around them so we will care for them based on what you let us know.

“Donna is the absolute best! She's been walking my pup for the last couple months and she is amazing! 10000% trustworthy, kind, communicative, flexible, and just a joy to converse with! Added bonus: my pup absolutely loves her! Fully and confidently recommend her! Am so glad I found her 😃”


About: I have 5+ years experience of pet and house sitting for various breeds. Because of my flexible schedule I am always able to give your pets the one on one attention they deserve. Ideally, I am looking for someone who needs afternoon walks for their pet on a daily basis. On a personal level, I have been a pet owner for my entire life and understand how they can enrich our lives. I currently have 2 cute cats that love playing together on their pet apartment and with their toys. I am excited for the opportunity to get to know and care for your pets. Currently My fee reflects local clients only and will vary depending on your location. I am currently pet and house sitting part time with 3 repeat clients, and am looking to add more. My availability is flexible so don't hesitate to inquire. When caring for your pets I am happy to adhere to you and your pets specific needs, ie. Feeding schedule, playing, crating, etc. Rest assured your residence will be safe under my care.

About: I love all types of animals and I like going outside and playing fetch and playing other games with them. It’s so much fun. I love how excited they get when you play with their toys with them. I love dogs all the way from the puppy stage to older dogs. I have no breed limitations. The only thing I ask is that the dog is friendly of course. I can administer medications to any animal and I can follow a daily schedule of feeding and walks if needed. I also clean the houses I stay at as well so when you come home you will arrive to a cleaner house then when you left and a happy pets also! Can’t wait to meet them! I doordash daily so I am always out and about and willing to help any time I can! I work Monday-Friday every week so reach out! I have been doing this for years now and I have two pets of my own! I treat every animal like my own and make sure they are properly loved and taken care of

About: I’ve had dogs (big & small) my entire life. I absolutely LOVE animals. There’s nothing more rewarding than being in the presence of a dog. I currently work part time so I have plenty of time to care for your pet. I find great joy in walking, playing and just being around animals, especially pups! I am unable to care for your furry family member in my home. I give all the love and care in your home or on fun, stimulating walks.

About: I’ve pet sit for neighbors and friends since high school and always had a great time. I can be patient and am good with giving medications if required. I am planning on doing this part time while doing college online so my schedule is very flexible. I would also be open to doing weekly appointments. I typically try to be minimally invasive when I pet sit at others home and follow the directions left to me. I always try to get a dog I’m sitting for out every two hours unless otherwise told.
