About: Growing up with two dogs and a cat, I have life-long experience caring for pets. I am great with detail when it comes to pet care and I love keeping pets happy and active while their parents are away! I work Fridays-Mondays, although this varies and I am sometimes also available on weekends. I am usually available all day Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays for dog sitting, walking, and boarding. My house has a fenced in yard in the front. I also live right next to a lovely greenway to take the dogs out for longer walks. I also have a bed and bowls for food and water.
“If you are looking for a pet/house sitter, Laurie is it! She is absolutely amazing. I have two Australian shepherd's (ages 7 & 14) who are both very much Velcro dogs and”

About: I have grown up around and taken care of dogs, cats, and reptiles. I love animals and am confident, intuitive, and at ease around them. I am responsible and can adapt to whatever needs you pet may have. I am patient, reliable, and caring and you can trust me to take care of your pets as I would my own, so you can have peace of mind when you are away from home. I am currently working part-time and have plenty of time and flexibility Ito devote to your pet and house-sitting needs. I am very responsible, and when I have pets under my care, I prioritize them above everything else. Something important to note about my WEEKEND SCHEDULE DURING THE WINTER SEASON ONLY. I coach snowboarding ONLY on Saturday and Sunday from 9-2:30. I am available for walks and drop-ins outside of these hours. I am available to housesit on the weekends as well, as long as your pet has a doggy door or can stay on their own for that period of time. After coaching, I can give my full attention to your pet. If you have questions, please reach out to me! During the week M-F, I am available full-time for house sitting/pet sitting and drop-ins! I am responsible and will be respectful of your home when I am taking care of your pets and housesitting. You can trust me to take care of your pets and your space as if it were my own.
“Chloe was great as always. I know our pup is in good hands when she stays with him. She sends updates throughout the weekend. We are lucky that we found Chloe! Would definitely recommend!”

“Danica is THE BEST dog-sitter!! My pup tends to get stressed when I’m away, and this was the first time he seemed truly calm and happy while I was away! She took great, loving care of my dog, kept me updated, took fabulous care of my home, washed all used towels and bedding without being asked, and even left goodies for me and my kids upon our return!! Moreover, she was a perfect fit because she was able to commit to most of every day being company for my dog, which is invaluable. Thank you Danica!! Will definitely hire you again :)”

“Alice may be the best pet sitter I've ever had! My cats warmed up to her immediately. She brought them toys! She sent pictures and videos every day to keep me updated. She left my condo cleaner than I left it! Alice definitely went above and beyond to care for my pets and my home. I would certainly recommend her and would use her again.”

“Melanie was extremely friendly and communicative! She sent so many pictures and updates of Ralphie and always reached out if she had any questions for us. She was perfect and we wouldn’t hesitate to keep asking her to watch our Ralphie.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my enthusiasm and love to create connections with all animals as if they were my own with the best pet care provided. Open to all animals but most experience with dogs that need exercise in the mornings and afternoons. We can make it work! I work some nights doing pizza delivery and some mornings snow plowing during the week. All in all, most days are available! I have a big enough car to pick up a lot of animals for walks. I am very reliable in getting to and from a clients home on time and ready to work.
“amy is a fantastic sitter! she met with us for a long visit giving great attention to the care instructions. she sent daily updates with lots of photos which always eases my mind while away. it is clear that my cat was care for so well by her. she left the home in a beautifully clean state which was such a pleasure to come home to. i would hire her again & again.”

“Dreya was great. She filled in for us when another sitter had a change of circumstances. Dreya is very detailed oriented and gave our elderly dog great care and attention for the nine days we were away.”

“Windsor took really good care of our dog - he's dealing with a stomach bug we thought was over, but unexpectedly came back and she handled the whole situation really well. She cleaned up for us and made sure our pup was comfortable until we could get home. I'd definitely recommend her!”

“We’ve hired Louis to house sit and watch our cat three times now and he has gone above and beyond each time. He offered to drop by for an extra morning at no additional cost after our travel plans were extended and he even took out the track and brought in all our packages and mail during our absence. You can’t go wrong with Louis!”

About: I was born and raised alongside multiple dogs and most recently helped raised a rambunctious puppy. While I am new to the professional dog sitting scene, I have helped friends and neighbors with their dog walking and housing needs since I was old enough to take them for a walk on my own. I have part time positions so have lots of flexibility with my schedule! Although my daily routine fluctuates weekly I am very willing to accommodate your pets needs and adjust my schedule accordingly. I understand how important your dog is to you and will treat them with tons of love and keep them safe when with me. I am flexible and willing to accommodate any specific requests for caring for your dogs.
“My Lizzie can be a little skittish with stranger but Calvin went above & beyond to ensure she was happy & comfortable. Communication was consistent along with pictures & video. Highly recommended.”

“Reegan did great with our two pups! She kept us updated with messages and photos, and left our home as it was before she arrived. Great communication let us enjoy our weekend away with no worries!”
“I am so grateful that I found Clarissa - more importantly, my 2 pugs and cat are grateful I found Clarissa. From our initial meeting through my return home, everything was comfortable and smooth, including giving medications to a senior dog. She is communicative, reliable, and conscientious. I’ve already submitted 3 more requests for future house sitting.”

I couldn’t be more happy with having Valerie take care of our dogs. Her communication was awesome she spent so much loving time with them. They are usually stressed when we get back from trips but this time they seemed at complete ease. I would highly recommend using Valerie for your dog sitting needs.
