“Stone was terrific!! The dogs immediately loved her from the first time they met her. We never worried about them in her care. She even took them for walks! She went above and beyond. We will definitely have her back again!”
“Audrey was fantastic with our two cats and chickens while we were away. Came back to happy, healthy animals and even got cute updates on them while we were out of town. 10/10 would recommend!”
About: I have over 300 volunteer hours with NOAH Center as a dog walker, cat kennel tech, and foster parent. I grew up with 5 dogs (2 Whippets, 2 Chihuahuas, 1 Boston Terrier) and 2 cats. I ride horses in my free time so there is no dog too big for me! I am currently in between jobs and out of school for the summer so my schedule is wide open for pet sitting and dog walking! My first jobs have been dog sitting at other homes, which I believe is the ideal situation as the animals are always most comfortable in a familiar space. I love to take dogs on frequent walks and breaks outside, they are easiest to manage when tuckered out.
About: im an animal lover and very experienced pet sitter of all ages and energy levels including puppies and seniors. im patient, Friendly and enthusiastic about giving your fur baby the best care, whatever they need. I am a college student and have plenty of time in my day to care for pets, especially now in the summer. I'll be able to spend as much time with your pets as you need, at any time in the day. im very patient and skilled at caring for senior dogs, including if they have mobility issues. im well versed in using crates and always make sure to give your dog water and shade when its warm out.
“Menisha was so kind and sweet. She checked in on our little guy while we were away, felt good to know that someone who loves animals was taking care of him. Thank you!”
About: I grew up training and showing med-large size dogs for 4-H (club) from the age of 10-13. Entered my dog in a dog agility course one of the years. Recently worked at a doggy daycare/training facility for several months. I took an online course about dog safety and health and have handled all sorts of dogs. I've helped raise 3 litters of puppies and sold them to responsible, loving families. I have a huge understanding of dogs and what they need from experience. An interesting fact- When I was 5 I got seriously injured by a pack of dogs but have not let that fear shy me away from challenges when it comes to dogs. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and make time for in my routine. I work a day job during the week, but I’m available for walks, drop-ins, or playtime most evenings after 5 PM. Caring for dogs helps me unwind and stay grounded — it doesn’t feel like work to me. I also aim to open up more availability as I settle into my new job. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always respect the space and follow the routine and preferences laid out by the owner. I keep things calm, clean, and consistent — whether that’s sticking to feeding times, giving meds if needed, or making sure your pup gets the right amount of exercise and attention. I pay close attention to body language and behavior, so I can respond to a pet’s needs with care and patience. Safety and comfort are top priorities, and I treat every pet as if they were my own — with kindness, respect, and lots of love.
“Darian watched our cat Cedar for 5 days, and she did a fantastic job! She took adorable photos of him for the Rover Cards, and he looked happy and playful in each of them! She also brushed him and played with him which he loves, and gave him lots of attention and cuddles. Usually Cedar is pretty nervous when we’re on vacation, so i’m very grateful we had Darian to watch him, she took such great care of him! Cedar and I say thank you!!”
“We’re so lucky to have found Milena in our neighborhood! She came in and got our dog out of the crate and play for a while when we are skiing. We also had a meet and greet because she’ll be house sitting for us, and it is clear that our dog adores her and vice versa. Highly recommend 🫶”

About: I've watched cared and watched dogs & pets of friend's, family's, coworker's, & even a wrong number for 15 years. I feel keeping animals in their homes and where they are comfortable when owners are away is important. As an animal lover I enjoy being able to give love and attention to as many animals I can since I am not able to have one or more of my own at this moment. I enjoy being outside and getting some exercise and would love to have a fur companion join me! I love to go hiking and would provide forest frollics for your dog! My schedule at the moment is extremely flexible. I am available to hang out with your pets all day if needed to ensure they keep their routine and have a stress free stay. I would treat your home like I was a guest there and make sure the pets routine is kept the entirety of my stay. Making sure your house is clean and tidy before your return.

About: I am available to walk dogs! I enjoy taking dogs to parks or trails where they can have fun. I have grown up with pets all my life and have had dogs of my own. I am reliable, kind, experienced and athletic. Growing up in Alaska I have been surrounded by all kinds of animals and value their experience. As well I have experience with old dogs who need a little extra care and young dogs with a lot of energy. Life can be very busy and so I want to help take care of the animals and pets you love.

I am always respectful of other folks spaces and homes. I often will house sit for people and am comfortable following instructions and making sure the pup is happy! In my own home, some dogs can feel a little anxious, I like to start with a tour! Usually led by the dog who is sniffing all there is to sniff. Other than that, it's good to take them out and make sure they have their time outside to get some energy out and let them relax.
