About: I enjoy cats and dogs as I have had my own, currently pet sit for my roommates cats while she’s on vacation. Cuddle puddles are my favorite pastime Evenings and weekends are preferred, can be flexible. I can do drop ins anytime past 6pm on the weekdays and anytime on the weekends. Emergency calls can also be arranged. I care for pets by slowly introducing myself, first by smell then when comfortable, by touch. I give treats when warranted, but ensure no over feeding/snacking. Lastly I cuddle with pets who are most comfortable.

Absolutely incredible. I needed a sitter for my pup last minute and Jess went out of her way above and beyond to squeeze in a meet and greet as well as watching my furbaby. Super sweet, punctual, great communication and absolutely love and care for my furbaby. Highly recommend and would definitely rebook with when needed.

About: I’ve been around animals since I was a child, whether they were family or friends or my own pets, I made sure to make myself available when they needed me. My experience includes dog sitting, dog walking and even taking care of medication. I’m currently finishing up college so I am available before and after my classes with any availability on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. When summer starts I will be working part-time at an internship so I will have continued availability that I will update as soon as I can. I have one dog and one cat living at home with me. They are both older now but I’ve had them since they were babies. I am responsible for both animals, for example cleaning up after both of them, feeding them, taking my dog out 3x a day.

I highly recommend Donna for any pet sitting needs. She was an amazing sitter and took wonderful care of our three dogs, guinea pig, and fish. Our dogs have become very attached to having someone home since my husband started working from home, so it was a huge relief to know they were happy and calm in Donna's care. Her calm demeanor and warm personality made our dogs very comfortable, and we appreciated the daily photos and messages she sent to keep us updated. We also returned to an immaculate house. Donna’s care truly made our vacation much better. Please do not hesitate to book her for your pet sitting needs.

Bridget was a wonderful sitter! She accommodated our dogs nervousness and high energy. She sent pictures and video throughout the night and accommodated us when we extended the time. I will be using her again! I would highly recommend her!

About: Dog walking is something I love to do. I take my dog (a boisterous standard schnauzer with quite the mind of his own!) on a walk everyday and love to help others out by giving their pup some exercise! I know that all dogs are unique, so I will take great care to make sure that I follow any instructions given and make this a great experience for the dog. I am good at reading a dog’s body language and know techniques to help calm a dog down if it gets overstimulated and will take necessary steps to ensure the dog’s comfort. I also know my way around the neighborhood, and can take the pup to new and exciting places (within the owners comfort level of course!) so they have a great time! As a recent college graduate, I have a very flexible schedule with ample time to dedicate to taking care of pets. I usually do morning and evening walks (as to avoid too high temperatures) and throughout the day can provide general pet care. I have a large, fenced in yard that pups can run freely in with my own dog. There is also a pool that they can use (under strict supervision of course!) and they have free access to all areas inside the house. We are also conscientious about making sure there are no dangerous things lying around (eg. socks, small items) that the dog can get to.

This was the first weekend that I had asked Maya to stay with my two dogs. Maya has walked my dogs many times prior to staying the weekend. And as always, she is very responsible, very caring, and is willing to go above and beyond to be helpful as she asked if I needed my plants watered or garbage taken out. Always willing to help in anyway she can. I am extremely happy to have found Maya to trust my two dogs with as I know she takes very good care of them and she takes them on almost a mile walk each time. I am very confident and having Maya stay at my house and careful, my pets, and I will definitely be asking her to do so again in the future.

About: My dog is the most important thing to me. Therefore I know what it’s like to worry about whether my fur baby is in good hands. I will treat your baby just as I treat mine and will try to make their time away from you less stressful for both of you. You can be assured that they will be in good hands. Whether it’s for a walk or to take care of them for a couple days. I understand that all pets are different and they all have different needs. I will try to know as much as possible to provide the best service to you and your pet. I have a lot of personal experience with dogs in my own personal life and would love to share that experience with all :)

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for friends and family since I was much younger. I’ve helped take care of small dogs and bigger dogs as well. I work full time but have flexibility to help with your pet before work, during lunch, and after work. My availability on the weekends is much greater. I treat every animal with respect and kindness as if they are my own. Every animal is special and deserves to feel valued! I stand by that

About: Cozy area, lots of attention, run with dog, walk around yard, can meet my dogs! Lots of playtime, food & water, outside time. I’ve owned dogs for over 10 years in my family, I’ve dogsat before in a clients home for a week, whom was also a diabetic, so I had to also give insulin. I am a huge dog lover, and always love being around them. We can go to dog parks, take plenty of walks around the neighborhood, and have great treats! I hope to provide great hospitality for your dog or dogs, and have them enjoy their time just as much as I would be. By letting me watch your dogs, I will make sure we all have the best time together! **please ask about availability during the week as the options on here aren’t the best** I have a full time job during the week.. On weekdays I am usually available on Mondays after 6pm, Tuesdays after 5pm, and Fridays after 5pm! Weekends vary, I’ll do my best to keep my calendar updated! It depends on what the client wants me to do to care for them! Making sure they go to the bathroom, hanging out with them inside, taking them for a walk, etc. overall, I like to make sure the pet(s) are getting attention and being entertained.

About: My friend and I raised our pup from when she was only 8 weeks old, so I have experience with all of the puppy to dog related things :) I'm a teacher and a volleyball coach during the school year, so I have plenty of free time in the summer to help out with your fur babies! Being a dog mom myself, I am super cautious when it comes to taking care of any animal. I make sure we are in a safe environment, harness / collar / leash is connected properly, and I stay alert to make sure your dog can have a fun and calming walk! For at home care, I am timely for potty breaks, making sure your pup gets some love and anything you ask for while I am there!

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs. I’ve done dog sitting and dog walking for different breeds and personalities, and I’m comfortable keeping up with routines, giving extra patience and care when needed, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m a teacher, so I have more flexibility in the summer when I’m off. I’m very active and enjoy staying busy by being outdoors—going for walks, spending time at the beach, and staying on the move. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely love animals, and spending time with them is something I enjoy as a hobby. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after while sticking closely to their normal routine. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care needs. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while also respecting their space and the home. My goal is always to keep pets happy and stress-free while their owners are away.

About: Hi! My name is Shelby. I am a dog owner and a recent graduate with a Bachelor degree in Animal Science on the path of becoming a veterinarian. I am looking to take care of pets of any size. I have experience from all over but the most significant one is my workplace where I functioned as a veterinarian technician, so I’m more than confident in my pet handling skills. With that job came responsibilities like medicating animals, watching and understanding body language, looking out for problematic symptoms, etc. all things I succeed in. At the practice, we dealt with dogs and cats of all different sizes and temperament, so there’s little room to worry if you book with me. With that being said, getting to meet your fabulous pet would be a great pleasure for me not only because I love animals but because it moves me forward in what I strive to become, which is, an understanding and caring doctor of veterinary medicine! I’m currently working on expanding my pet sitting business so this is my main focus. I am also in the midst of taking college courses online so I am available for most days. I have a fur baby of my own so I know how important it is to make sure whoever takes care of your pet is doing their very best and nothing less of that. I am an active listener so whatever you want me to do it will be done to a tee. Crating, giving medicine, enrichment activities, etc. are all things within my capabilities and even if something isn’t I will be sure to let you know beforehand. I have house sit before so updates on anything will always be given and I will leave your home just as it was. Your home and pet is like another part of you so I would never treat it as less than that.

About: I bring a calm, reliable presence and genuine love for animals. I’m experienced with both puppies and senior pets, including reinforcing training, maintaining routines, and providing gentle support for older pets who need extra care. I’m detail‑oriented, safety‑focused, and communicate clearly so owners always feel informed and confident. Every pet is treated with patience, respect, and the same care I’d want for my own. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I plan my days around consistency. I’m comfortable with early mornings, scheduled walks, feeding times, and regular check‑ins. I treat each visit as a priority, making sure every pet gets dependable care and attention throughout the week. When I care for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and predictable environment. I follow each pet’s routine exactly as outlined — feeding times, walks, play, training reinforcement, and any medication needs. I take time to understand their personality, comfort level, and energy so I can adapt my approach and help them feel secure. For puppies, I reinforce the basics: crate routines, potty breaks, consistent schedules, and positive training habits. For senior pets, I’m patient and gentle, offering slow walks, mobility support, and medication reminders. No matter the age, I keep communication open with owners through updates, photos, and honest check‑ins so they always feel confident and informed.

This was our first time leaving our dogs with a sitter and also the longest we had ever been away from them, so we were understandably a little nervous. Our dogs can be very anxious and reactive around new people, but by the end of her stay they absolutely loved Staci. Staci was incredibly attentive, thoughtful, and proactive throughout the entire time we were away. She kept a close eye on anything that seemed even slightly out of the ordinary and always kept us informed. We especially appreciated the many photos and updates she sent each day, which gave us tremendous peace of mind while we were traveling. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our dogs and their well-being. We came home to two happy, comfortable pups, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would highly recommend Staci to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter.

We are so glad we had Sam! She stayed in touch with us throughout the week. We gave her quite the task —taking care of a 14 1/2 year old husky and a 5 year old energetic golden doodle for almost a week! We felt so comfortable with her especially because she was so proactive in checking in. She stayed in our house for the week and even when we came back the place was super clean and our girls seemed so happy with her time there!! We loved Sam and we will most definitely be reaching out to her again!! Thank you Sam!!!! 💛💛💛

Nadine watched our senior pitty for the second time in the past 7 months. She is so loving and attentive to our fur baby. Nadine noticed her arthritis acting up and notify us so some additional medication could be administered. She is just a wonderful sitter- for our dog who has a lot of issues. I never worry when Jazzy is in her care since I know Nadine will treat her like her own!
