About: I grew up with dogs and cats, but have also pet-sat throughout my life. When I was about 13 I had a little pet-sitting side gig throughout the summers and after school. I am comfortable giving meds, taking them on walks, hanging out, feeding, etc. Whatever is needed! I work from home on Thursday and Friday, and am off Saturday and Sunday. I'm happy to spend the day working from your place as long as you have internet or popping in for a walk or feeding, whatever works! I'm happy to work with you for whatever your pet needs; if they need a snuggle buddy or a hands-off approach, I'm happy to do what works. I don't mind long or short walks, crating, feeding, or giving medications.
About: I believe that humans are no better than dogs. In the future, I would like to become a Veterinarian. I have had a lot of experience with dogs, including working at both dog daycares and veterinary clinics. I currently work full time at an animal hospital in the ER department, therefore I do well under pressure. In addition, I am used to seeing emergencies therefore I would be able to quickly to spot if something becomes an emergency. Outside of the animal hospital, I also work part time at a daycare, so basically my whole life surrounds around dogs. Fun fact about me: I have a 4 year old GSP and she is my whole life, she is the reason that I love dogs. I will treat your dogs as if they were my own. I tend to be unavailable Sundays-Tuesdays because I work at the veterinary clinic therefore I can do pet care the rest of the days, for day or night. I have a friendly dog to keep your dog(s) company and I allow them on furniture as well. Oftentimes I will recommend for you to bring your dog’s toys or bedding so they feel more comfortable.

“She was so communicative, and I felt so reassured having her take care of my puppy. Will definitely continue to book with her for any of my puppy needs :)”
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I could walk, literally. I grew up surrounded by pets on a small family homestead, we're talking dogs, cats, pigs, chickens, and the occasional bottle-fed goat among so many others I lost count. Now 28, I bring that same lifelong experience, calm energy, and deep love for animals into every pet-sitting job I take on. Whether your pup needs a long walk, your cat needs quiet company, or your senior pet needs gentle care, I’m here to help. I’m confident handling animals of all sizes and temperaments, and I take pride in being reliable, communicative, and kind. I treat your pets like they’re my own. Let me know how I can support your pet’s routine while you’re away! I work weekends in the hospitality industry, which gives me a lot of flexible time during the week to focus on my writing. Pet care fits in perfectly—I love having walking buddies and a reason to step away from the page and get outside. Whether it’s a midday walk or a quiet home visit, I enjoy building routine and connection with the animals I care for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I’ve worked with animals my whole life—on a farm and in private homes—which means I’m confident handling different energy levels, temperaments, and situations. I’m attentive on walks, avoid unsafe areas or off-leash encounters (unless discussed), and always keep water and waste bags on hand. During home visits, I follow your instructions closely, whether it’s feeding, medications, or just quiet companionship. I respect your space, lock up carefully, and keep you updated with photos and notes so you always know how your pet is doing. My calm energy helps animals feel safe—and I treat them like they’re part of the family.
“Rebecca is absolutely fantastic. She is incredibly attentive, thoughtful, and honestly the best dog walker/sitter we have ever had by a wide margin. Her experience and love of animals makes her extremely adaptable, down to the smallest details. Most of all I know that our pups feel loved and safe with her. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”
“Alex was so good with our dog! You can tell who is a dog person when you meet them, and Alex is definitely one. He’s very communicative and shared updates/photos. I’d highly recommend Alex!”
About: I personally have a cat that was initially my daughter’s but I inherited her and have grown to love immensely. I have cared for my daughter’s chameleon and tortoise in her absence on several occasions. I’m a big dog lover!!! They bring me lots of joy. I have had shepherds, Belgian Malinois, mixed breeds, and labs in my life. Currently I continue to have two full grown labs, and a yellow puppy lab in my life through my great friend. I could not imagine life without them. They are the definition of unconditional love. I’m currently working full time, but if needed I can be available in the evening for dog walking. And on the weekends I have availability for dog walking, feeding, or playing. I will care for them as if they were my own with care, compassion, and love. And ensure that they are always safe in my hands.
“Rachel was super nice and knowledgeable and clearly very comfortable around big dogs. Our dog Lila loved her, and she was very flexible with our schedule. Highly recommend!”
“Marie let me informed on when she was going to arrive. She walked Asher and also took him to the dog Park. I received videos and photos. Asher was sad to see her go.”

Lisa N.
“If you're looking for someone who treats your dog like family, Lisa is the one. She’s reliable, patient, and genuinely loves animals. My pup warmed up to her instantly—and that’s saying a lot, because he’s usually shy around new people. Lisa goes above and beyond, whether it's making sure your dog gets plenty of exercise or sending adorable photo updates that brighten your day. Her calm energy and attention to detail give you total peace of mind. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my four-legged best friend.”
