“We had a great experience with Amy! She watched our two dogs, Zed and Bow, for the day. It was clear from the moment she arrived that she’s experienced and truly enjoys being around animals. She was attentive to their needs and communicated with us to let us know everything was going well. She sent us photos of them relaxing throughout the day, which helped give us peace of mind. Both pups were happy and relaxed when we got home, always a great sign! We’d absolutely recommend Amy and hope to book with her again in the future.”
“Max did a great job with my pets. I got lots of pictures and updates and felt that my pets were safe and well cared for even with their special diets and medications. Max also left my house neat and tidy and collected my mail and packages. I will definitely be booking Max again.”
“Emma is a great pet sitter. She is organized, responsible, and communicates well. She took great care of Buoy and Otto and my house. I was able to truly relax and enjoy my time away from home secure in the knowledge that she was taking care of everything. She goes the extra mile. We will be using Emma again and you should too.”
“Neive was great with our dog Coors. We got picture and videos update which we really appreciated. Her communication was fantastic. When we got home from our trip the house was it great shape, it was like no one was here. We will definitely use her again.”
“Laura provided care for Jaxon while we were away for a long weekend. Jaxon needs medication’s four times a day and sometimes during the night for anxiety and cognitive issues. I couldn’t have gone away without knowing that he was in good hands, and we were able to actually relax and have a nice time,all knowing Laura was taking care of things at home. I couldn’t give her enough stars, or be happier with her. You won’t be sorry hiring Laura!! She’s the best!”
“Riley took the dogs for a run. She provided some photos and updates while she was at the house. She responded quickly. I'd definitely recommend her to care for your animals. She provided a great experience.”
About: I've had a dog in my house from the day I was born, so I've cared for high-energy puppies all the way up to seniors who need special food, medications, patience, and love. I've been pet-sitting for friends and family ever since high school (and immediately locating the animals at any social function forever); I love to get to know each creature I meet and learn how they like to be shown affection. I'm always honored to be trusted with the safety and happiness of the furry members of your family. I'm currently working on finding more regular part-time employment, but at the moment, my days are free to take care of your little creatures! I love to participate in community theatre, so when I'm in a show, I might be gone for a few hours during the evenings for rehearsal, but I will update my calendar/communicate accordingly. I fully respect the homes people trust me to watch as well as the critters living in them. I find I'm able to make myself at home pretty much anywhere and leave the space as I found it.
“Shannon has been with my dogs twice now. First time was as a drop in visit and second time was house sitting for 4 days. She kept me updated throughout the time I was away as well as kept my dogs very happy. They loved being with her and I was pleased with her care for my dogs. Shannon will now be my regular pet sitter as she is available and willing!”
About: Hi there! I’m Katie, and I’ve been caring for dogs for over 13 years. I grew up surrounded by pups of all kinds—big, small, young, senior, purebred, and rescue—so understanding their unique personalities and needs comes naturally to me. Whether it’s playtime, cuddle time, or helping with medication and routines, I treat every dog like family. I’m here to give your pet the same love, patience, and care I’ve given mine my whole life! I’m a full-time nursing student with a flexible schedule and no other job, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pets! Whether it’s daily visits, overnights, or just extra cuddles, I’m happy to fit into their routine. In My Home: I live in a pet-friendly apartment in a quiet neighborhood that’s great for walks. While my backyard isn’t fenced, I have a secure in-ground leash for safe outdoor time, and there’s also an open field nearby where pets can play using a 15ft leash if they enjoy more space. Inside, your pet will feel right at home with my super friendly dog and two curious (but respectful) kitties. I provide a cozy, supervised environment full of love, playtime, and attention based on your pet’s needs and personality. In Client Homes: I stick to your pet’s normal routine to keep things comfortable and consistent. I offer feeding, walks, medication if needed, playtime, and plenty of affection. I always treat your pet—and your home—with the same care and respect I give my own.
About: I care for every pet like my own, because if it was me, I would want someone to do the same. With my own senior dog I have extra care and patience to fit all their needs I currently work 7:30-4 Monday through Thursday. So my best availability is at night or during the weekends! Availability can vary depending on request and location. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I am able to take your fur baby out on a leash if necessary, although caring for your pet at their own home would be preferred!
About: I've had various pets throughout my childhood ranging from iguanas, and turtles to hamsters and bunnies. I have experience potty training puppies, as well as some behavioral training. I also am experienced with senior dogs that may require medication and/or special attention including lifting if necessary. I am not currently working and am ready to book your babies for a fun, and safe experience for everyone involved. I am completely flexible and ready to work with your schedule Fenced yard with plenty of space to run around in case of zoomies. I have 2 dogs one small and one large so no matter what size your fur baby is there is a companion to ensure your baby will not get lonely. All animals will need to be crated to ensure safety, but supervised play can/will be apart of the experience. I also have experience with crate training.
About: Taking care of animals is exciting for me and comes naturally. I've been pet sitting since I was 14 and have loved every second of it. I work till 5:45 PM on some weekdays but am always out before 3 on Wednesdays and Fridays. I have all weekends off and I'll be happy to see if I'll be available to watch your animal!! I'll be happy to meet your pets and meet their individual needs. I will make safety a priotity for your pets and I can't wait to meet them!
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I also trained my parents dogs. I enjoy taking care of your animals while you go on vacation or need someone to watch them for a day. I will make sure they get the attention while you're gone. I will also send you photos of your fur babies while you're having fun on your vacation. I know it can be quite nerve wracking to let someone else look after your pets, when they become family to you. I am always willing to do meet and greets prior to the time you need me, to make you and your animals feel more comfortable. I do live near a dog park, if approved by dog owner to take them there.
About: I've successfully potty trained a pack of puppies, generally trained and settled a pack. Dogs usually love me, and I love them! I'm used to being around senior dogs and enjoy the energy of younger dogs, too! I'm currently at home, so I am usually available. I have freedom to fit my routine in around the needs of pet owners, and still care for my own animals! I am able to follow clients' instructions concerning health, physical, and dietary needs, including administering medications in a responsible manner. I'm also able to play with, give attention to your pet as he/she wants and needs.
About: Love playing with them and taking the on walks and taking them to the park and for car rides and giving them baths just plan love them Any time works for me if you need me I will be there for you furry 4 legged friend just let me know when you need me Have a nice yard for them to run around in and a nice loving house for them to feel home in and other dog for them to play with
About: I've taken care of small, medium, and large dogs since I was young. I have walked, fed, played with, and trained dogs for most of my life. Neighbors and friends have always relied on me to take good care of their pets whether on walks or overnight. My main goal is to provide your dog or cat with the least stressful experience possible and I am highly adaptable to any pet needs. I have experience with reactive dogs and I can quickly avoid any stressors before the dog notices them. I'm currently in college with a very laid-back class schedule, so I have lots of time to walk, play with, or watch your pets overnight. I always try to make any pets that I am responsible for as comfortable as possible. I understand the difference between a puppy needing lots of play time and walks and a senior dog who loves to nap and be left alone. I have experience walking pets outside and taking care of them in a fenced in yard.

Katelyn M.
“I can’t recommend Katie enough for anyone needing a reliable and loving dog sitter! She’s been absolutely amazing with my dog Ashe, who’s a Great Pyrenees mix. She’s not always the easiest to handle. Katie is incredibly patient, calm, and understanding, which makes a huge difference with a dog like Ashe who can be a little stubborn at times. Ashe warmed up to her so quickly, and I could tell she felt totally comfortable and safe in Katie’s care. Katie’s friendly, gentle demeanor just puts animals at ease, and she genuinely treats them like her own. It’s such a relief knowing Ashe is in great hands whenever she’s with her. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and totally in tune with your fur baby, Katie is it!”
Alexandria R.
“Alex is one of the most responsible and caring people I know—especially when it comes to animals. I've seen firsthand how attentive and gentle Alex is with pets, always making sure they feel safe, loved, and well-cared for. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, and kind to look after your pet, Alex is the perfect choice. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave my pets in their care!”
ryan m.
“Ryan currently pet sits, and house sits for me. He is open minded, sensitive, intuitive, receptive, and compassionate… about both people, and animals. In my opinion, these are traits that everyone needs, especially in someone who is responsible for watching over your pets, (family), and home. He’s has helped my two dogs, and cat, make great strides, with training, and developing better behaviors.”
