About: Hi there! I was raised on a crop farm and grew up surrounded by animals of all kinds. My extended family owns cattle, dogs, cats, and more—so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and temperaments, and I treat every animal like family. Whether it’s a walk, cuddle, or just company, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe and loved I’m pretty flexible during the week and can often do last-minute bookings. I occasionally travel for work on weekends, but I’ll always keep my calendar updated so you know when I’m available! I live on a farm, so there’s plenty of space for animals to roam, play, and go to the bathroom comfortably. I make sure pets get lots of attention, exercise, and affection while keeping their routines as close to home as possible. Whether it’s feeding on time, giving them space to explore safely, or just offering calm companionship, I care for each animal with patience and love. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family!
“My wife and I went away for a wedding during Memorial Day weekend, and someone cancelled last minute. Thankfully Lauren was able to help out and she was attentive to everything. She did everything I had asked and more, and we couldn’t be more appreciative. 10/10 would recommend again!”
About: I've taken care of several family dogs well into being senior and cared for my neighbors dog who was also a senior. My current dog I've had since she was 1.5 months old and has grown to learn to use bells for potty time and previously used a button to request food and knows to sit, lay down, and responds to shake with both left and right paws. I've cared for seniors and puppies. From bathroom time, walks, feeding with and without special diets and supplements, command work, crate work, and general cleaning for messes that may be made, I've done it all. Every day if you're ready or not is an adventure with dogs and as someone who works full time and is constantly doing yard maintenance I still always make sure to set time aside to keep commands and play time in the mix to ensure they stay engrained. If I ever sit a dog at my house I have a fenced in back yard, plenty of toys, and two dogs who could potentially keep your own company under a watchful and active eye to maintain safety and comfortability.
About: I've been dog sitting for the past 6 years. It started off by my old boss asking me to dog sit for him while he and his family went on vacation, and it now I have 15+ families that ask me to dog sit for them. I watch all sorts of dogs, from 10 pounds all the way up to 100+ pounds. When I dog sit, I normally stay in the clients' home. I currently work full for a healthcare system and my hours are 730A-4P. I am mostly remote so I am able to stay with the dogs most of the time. I do work on-site every 5th week, so those weeks I will have to leave around 7A and won't get home until closer to 430P. I am a huge dog lover.. most people say I'm the dog whisperer. When I am with them, I am constantly playing with them or snuggling up on the couch. If it's nice outside, we will go outside and play or go for walks.
“Lydia was wonderful, she went above and beyond! I asked that she drop in and feed and let the dogs out a few days each day. We have one rescue dog that is very nervous and screams at new people Lydia was so kind and caring that she spent extra time at our home with the dogs so she could build trust with them. It brought such a sense of relief having her taking care of our dogs while we were gone! Also, we have two older dogs that need meds and Lydia was great about giving the dogs meds and helping our oldest dog up and down the stairs to go to the bathroom! Also, she sent us several pictures throughout the day to let us know how our boys were doing! We will definitely have Lydia house sit for us again.”
“Kristin is a wonderful sitter. She did drop in visits for my cat over the holidays. I could tell that she truly enjoyed taking care of him and that he liked her. She took care of everything responsibly and gave me frequent updates. My cat has separation anxiety and when I got home I noticed that he was at ease and that Kristin really helped him through it. Thanks, Kristin!”

About: I have always been a cat lover, owning several cats as I’ve grown up! My two current cats, Pika and Sushi, are my babies. They both have allergies and require a prescription diet as well as anti-allergy medication administered daily or as needed. I have experience administering injectable medications as well. I take special care of my kitties because they mean the world to me. I have experience in taking care of sick kittens as well as elderly cats (Pika just turned 13!), including bathing, clipping nails, vet visits, special diets/medications, etc. If you have a kitty with special needs, I would be more than happy to help tend to their needs whatever that may be. I’ve been known to be the go-to person to pet sit among my friends, even caring for 5 cats at one time! Monday - Friday: Morning/Evening Saturday - Sunday: All day Holidays - Varying schedule, please ask for special dates PLEASE NOTE: I work full time during the week (Monday through Friday). I have had no problem boarding cats while I am gone throughout the day and am very attentive when I am home! I am available before or after my working hours for drop in visits. I also have the whole weekend (Friday through Sunday) to care for your kitties! Special circumstances may be negotiated! :) I have two kitties of my own if your kitty wants some friends, and a separate room in my apartment if your kitty prefers to be on their own. We have plenty of toys, scratchers, and windows to look out of. Litter boxes are cleaned daily in my home and we have bowls for food and water as well as a water fountain with fresh filtered water.

About: Hi. I am Derya and I have a dog named Shenai. I have to mention that he is our activity coordinator. He welcomes the guest puppies with super fast tail wagging. He is very friendly and likes to share his toys with them. He plans the walks and indoor activities. He likes to show them the spring creek and many different trails nearby our house. I have full time job, I still make sure that your puppies will get plenty of walk and indoor activities during their stay. Shenai loves to play. When we have guest puppies my house turns to big playground for them. We have a big back yard and a lot of trails nearby our house. I can give oral medications if it is needed and Crete your puppies if it is their regular routine.

Andrew R.
“Andrew is a kind, caring,& loving pet sitter. We have never left our golden retriever with anyone but family before. We reached out to Andrew because he was highly recommended to us. He agreed to watch her at our home. He wanted to know about her so it would be an easy transition for her to his care. He sent us pictures and videos of her while we were away. He would text updates on her too. Our girl LOVES Andrew. We are worry free now when we need to leave her knowing that Andrew is caring for her. He was recently dog sitting for our neighbors and our dog saw him and began sprinting across the yard to see him. We highly recommend him to love & care for your pet as his own. 10/10 to recommend him.”

Emily C.
“Emily is very experienced in walking and pet sitting dogs. While she lived in my city, she was my go to sitter whenever I went out of town. My dog is very nervous and skittish, and Emily was very patient with her and understood her needs. My dog absolutely loved her after a couple visits. She communicated regularly with me while I was away, and she followed all instructions I gave her for watching my dog. I trust her completely with my dog, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a regular walker or an overnight sitter.”
Crystal S.
“Crystal is such a loving and caring person for people and pets. Crystal currently has 2 cats. Every time I have come over to her residence, she always has it neat and tidy for her cats to easily roam around. She is always taking care of her cats needs, whether it be taking care of the litter box, feeding her cats, or giving them care and love at all times (even when they are sick). When she is over at other people’s houses with pets, she always treats them with so much care and love. Based on the way I have seen her take care of her own pets and others, I believe she would make an excellent cat sitter. I know if I would need someone to watch my cat, she would be a reliable person to take care of them.”
Jonathan G.
“Jonathan is communicative and reliable, he puts the utmost care into any task given to him. When it comes to animals, he has a soft spot, and genuinely values their wellbeing.”
