“Celeste is the best! You know those people you just instantly trust? Celeste is that person! She was communicative, thoughtful and so caring for my two dogs. I would recommend her to anyone!”


“Glendon gave us continuous updates with pic and videos of our happy pups. They were relaxed and well taken care of. Glendon cares for animals and makes us feel reassured when we are away. Will definitely book with him again.”


About: Animal Care Technician with extensive experience with dogs, cats and rodents. Cannot train but am trained on proper handling, walking and administering oral medication. 19 years of experience with dogs from pup to elder (including dogs with medical issues) and 5 years experience with cats from kitten to elder (including cats with medical issues). I am currently not working and have a flexible schedule for anyone looking for booking! I will not be allowing boading or doggy day care at this time due to remodeling but I am willing to house sit, do scheduled drop in's and dog walking. My current schedule includes every day except for Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday mornings due to current client bookings. I do not currently house any pets but I have owned dogs and cats for years before and have extensive experience caring for pets of family and friends.

“Ashley was a terrific house/pet-sitter while I was out of town for several days. Communicated well, provided updates and my pup had a wonderful time with her!”


About: I have 5+ years experience walking and sitting dogs, from miniature chihuahuas to 100-pound labradors and everything in between. I am available for walks, visits, and dog-sitting in your home/vacation rental. I’m available for walks and visits M T W Th F S after 2pm. I am able to do local overnight sitting any day including Sunday. When house-sitting in a client’s home I take care to make sure their dog has everything they need to feel comfortable, safe, and loved. On walks I always bring backup trash bags as well as snacks (with your approval) and I believe in letting dogs sniff for as long as they want. I also always keep dogs leashed (with the exception of off-leash trained dogs I've worked with for a long time, with owner permission) and practice safety when interacting with other dogs, people, or mysterious things on the ground.

“Rachel was wonderful! She looked after our pups when we went for a day sail and they were happy and content when we returned. She was very thoughtful and calm with our slightly nervous Aussie Shepherd X and kept us updated throughout the day. Thank you Rachel!”


“Jasmine was so sweet and caring with Kiwi. Kiwi has some special needs, she has separation anxiety and is in the beginning stages of degenerative myelopathy. Jasmine took great care of Kiwi and even got her through a thunderstorm. We are so glad that Jasmine became Kiwi's friend. Jasmine is patient and her demeanor is so cool and collected. We are very thankful for Jasmine keeping Kiwi safe and loved.”


“Sonia was wonderful watching our dog for the day while we were on a tour of Acadia National Park. She was friendly and took our dog on a walk to the park.”


“Kelsey was so great with our dog! She sent pictures and gave various updates throughout the day. We are so thankful we found her! I definitely recommend Kelsey.”


“Nicole was punctual and dependable for the meet/greet. She is an excellent communicator and responded to messages before and during the service dates in a timely manner. The house was left clean and tidy; linens and towels were washed which was an unexpected gift! She and Stanley got along well and he appreciated the daily walks! We did, too, as well as the photos that Nicole sent. We were very pleased with her stay as Stanley’s sitter and highly recommend her!”


“Rosie was amazing!!! I have 2 needy Aussies who need a lot of exercise!! She walked and played with them daily and sent me updates on the regular! Highly recommend if you need someone you can trust with the babies while away!!”


About: My husband and I have always had dogs and cats. We recently said good bye to our 2 16 year old mini-doxies. We miss the pitter patter of their paws and are looking to fill that gap. Although we are not ready to be full time pet parents right now, we would love to take care of your pups. As we had a paralyzed doxie and one with diabetes, we are adept at administering medication and expressing male bladders. Are you in the area on vacation and need someone to watch your pup while you go on an adventure, we can help. Just send a message. Pick up/drop off may be available. I work out of the home 2-3 days a week and volunteer drive for a local organization. Your pup would not be left for more than 4 hours without me or my husband checking in. At Our Home: We have a small fenced in yard. No pet is left unattended when outside. Walks and hikes with your pup are always an option, either in the neighborhood or if they like to ride in the car, there are many trails nearby. At Your Home: I will follow whatever instruction you give me. My preference is to watch your pup in your home as they will be most comfortable there, but they are welcome in my home as well.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for most of my life—both my own and others'. My most recent dog, Dozer (a dopey 70 lb pit mix who looked like a cow), was with me for 9 amazing years. I’ve regularly walked and pet-sat for friends, coworkers, and even former customers from my barista days. I’ve lived with both large and small breeds and feel confident handling a range of personalities and energy levels—from mellow seniors to spirited puppies. I genuinely love spending time with dogs! I'm calm, patient, and attentive to each dog's unique needs—whether administering meds, sticking to a specific feeding routine, or offering extra playtime and affection. I also love being outdoors, so if your dog enjoys adventures, they’re in good hands! Don't worry, they'll get a tick check before I drop them off! I work full-time but offer evening walks during the week and full availability on weekends. I'm also available for house sitting any night of the week, and always make sure your dog feels safe, seen, and cared for in your absence. I work full-time on weekdays, so I’m available for dog walking or playtime after 5 PM on weekdays. On weekends, I have full availability and love spending the day outside with pups—whether it’s long walks, hikes, or just hanging out and relaxing. I’m also available for house sitting any night of the week. I’m committed to fitting pet care seamlessly into my routine so your dog gets the attention, exercise, and love they deserve while you’re away or busy. When caring for pets, safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always make sure the environment is secure—checking gates, doors, and any escape routes—so your dog stays safe. I follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication, and any special care needs. During walks and adventures, I keep your dog on a leash unless you’ve specified otherwise, and I’m vigilant about avoiding hazards like busy roads, toxic plants, or wildlife. I treat every dog with patience, respect, and kindness, making sure they feel calm and loved whether we’re at home or out exploring. You’ll get regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in good hands.

“Very kind and sweet. Arrived on time and Dolly seemed to be fine. Thank you”


“We got lucky to find Caitlin available as I scrambled to find last minute care for our 11 week old puppies. She sat them two days in a row for a total of 14 hours in our home. We recommend her to everyone. Great personality, excellent communication, and she can give you home styling on the side! Yay.”


About: I have 4 years of pet care experience professionally as well as lots of informal experience. I’m comfortable walking and sitting all kinds of dogs- different sizes, personality, and needs! I love animals and I love getting to know new dogs. I have experience with giving oral meds, working with reactive dogs, and not afraid to clean messes! I currently work Thursday-Saturday, but am available the other days of the week. I can work morning and evenings and I am flexible with scheduling I always ensure I have a secure grip on leashes so that they won’t slip out of my hand if a dog lunges or starts to run. I stay aware of my surroundings and monitor what’s on the ground and whether there are other dogs around. I am also happy to communicate with owners as much as they would like and give updates on their animals!

About: Animals have always been a passion of mine. I grew up with several different animals and have always loved being around them and taking care of them! At a very young age I really wanted to work with animals and that same passion of working with them is still the same today! As of right now, my schedule varies! I could be working any shift from 6:30-2:30, 7:30-4:30, 9:15-5:15, or 12:15-5:15. I am a new mom who is trying to make ends meet but working still isn’t helping because daycare is so expensive! I am really trying to pet sit part time or even full time! My weekends and holidays are always open except for the occasional family trips in the summer! I do not have a fenced in yard at my home so that means that your fur babies will be kept on a leash when taking them outside. Your fur babies will also be kept company by 2 friendly dogs and 2 friendly cats! I also have to crate one of my dogs so I can easily crate dogs if needed!


About: I’m a dog lover and have owned several dogs throughout my life - a cocker spaniel, 2 English setters, one chocolate lab and a golden retriever. Right now I’m single, live alone and I like to travel a lot. But I enjoy dog companions and want to make myself available to help you with your dog sitting needs. I’m a daily runner so I can take your dog on runs or long walks. I live near a pond where dogs can swim, and in general I live in a safe and quiet neighborhood that is suitable for all types of dogs. I’m also a health nut, so I will only feed your dog good food and/or whatever is required of their diet. Thanks for considering me, I would love to take care of your dog when you need some extra help.

“Tiana was absolutely fabulous! Professional. Personable. Intuitive. Our young pugs had the absolute best time with Tania. She bonded with them instantly and them with her. Due to their bond, Mademoiselle and Captian (sister and brother), were very responsive and attentive to Tania. She took them on numerous daily outings such as: Little Long Pond; Pretty Marsh; Blue Horizon; and a hiking trail within walking distance from our home. Returning from our ten day trip, we were greeted by our two very happy little furbabies. Our home was immaculate (cleaner than when we left), bed linens, etc. were laundered and folded. Our plants looked better then ever and all our mail was organized neatly on our dining room table. To boot, early on in our trip, I needed help from Tania to put together an order placed on my Etsy shop. Having no experience in doing so, however, in no time Tania processed and shipped the order. Tania is truly exceptional.”


“Harmony was great! Our dogs had such a good time with her they weren't all that excited to see us when we returned. We have a tracker for one of our dogs so we know they were walked a couple of times a day. Harmony brought her own dog, and he got along great with my "girls." We will definitely ask her to sit again.”

Emily & Leroy M.

“Emily has cared for our beloved 5 year old cavachon, Divot on several occasions. By our second drop off to Emily’s home, Divot was eager to go with her. Emily is a careful listener. I gave her Divot’s instructions. She explains things well so you know what to expect as she will understand your expectations as well. Communication is one of the number of things Emily does well. She had Divot blend into her family. Which wasn’t hard to do as it is a perfect setting. If you are lucky enough to book with Emily you are sure to be pleased with her care of your pet.”
