“Erica really helped me out in a pinch by walking Kenai on short notice! I really appreciated her intentional positivity and skilled interaction with my dog. She worked really hard to ensure Kenai had positive interactions with other dogs. It’s obvious she knows what she’s doing and cares greatly.”
“Great with my pup! Warren has great communication and gives detailed updates about their walking adventures. He even cleaned Achilles up after a tromp through the mud before letting him back in the house! Will definitely continue their walks, Achilles is always one happy doggo when he gets home.”
About: Hello! I am a 31 year old rescue mommy of a 7 month old tortoiseshell kitten named Lizzie and I am a former dog grooming apprentice who has experience in animal product services (food, general medication, etc) and have owned mainly large breed dogs (Rottweilers and American Bulldogs) my whole life! I have done intern work at a veterinary clinic in the past and have worked with dog trainers as well! I have also owned small animals (rodents) and reptiles and am comfortable handling them. And of course, I love cats too! My best availability would be Monday-Friday in the morning and afternoon hours. Thank you for reading through my profile! I am a stay at home wife with my tortoiseshell kitten Lizzie so my availability is flexible to work with your work and travel schedules! I believe in a patient approach when meeting new animals of any species and I go at their own pace. A soft hand and even softer voice are the key elements to the beginning of every animal friendship and your pet’s safety and comfort is my number one priority!
“Sarah is a reliable dog-walker, gets my pup great exercise on her walks with him, follows any instructions we have, asks questions, responds quickly, and gets the cutest pics of our boy! I have used her as a dog-walker multiple times now and will continue to in the future. Thanks Sarah!”
About: Love to walk and hike, have one lovable six year lab mix that is super friendly and still thinks he's young and would love to take your dog out. I am busy most of the day but am able to house sit and/or walk your dog rain/snow or shine alone or with my lab mix. I have a six year old lab mix that could stay home, or can walk with your dog on walks/hikes. My dog loves everyone and other dogs.
“Ninia has done a wonderful job at walking Denali! She has been kind, a great communicator, asked some great questions that I did not think of, and really seems to care for animals so much! I’m thankful I have found her!”
“Ami was great! I was hesitant to give my “baby” to a stranger but she completely put me at ease and answered all of my questions. She is knowledgeable and much more than a dog walker, she is a great handler. Our girl is looking forward to her next walk with her.”
About: I have had pets my whole life and have always loved taking care of them!!! I have dog sat for so many families over the years and it’s always so much fun getting to know their pets. I am super reliable and would love to take care of your pets when you need! I only work part time so I have a lot of free time to tend to your pets! I am free almost any day besides Tuesdays & Thursdays! I can easily do almost anything you need me to, including feeding, walking, crating, and playing with your doggo!! I am easily adaptable to my environment and can help in lots of ways
About: Loved every animal imaginable since I can remember! Owned everything from horses to rats, bred mini poodles for years and current Nana to 10 grandpups and slave to 2 adorable yorkies. Pets are my babies, spoiled rotten and treated better than my kids...lol I am 2 months retired from the federal government and have all the time in the world to spoil your sweet love of your life. My day and world revolves around my, and your, pet(s). Love them like my own but follow your rules. Can provide training, if requested, but am not a certified trainer.
“This was our first walk with Carissa and all went well! She was on time, she did great with Lucy and locked up when she was done. Little report and picture at the end. We will be using Carissa again if available for our future needs! :)”
About: An active member of 4H since I was 8 years old I have regularly taken care of Horses, Goats, Chickens and Dogs. I've been professionally employed as a dog/home sitter since 2004 with rave reviews. Total pet wellness is very important to me as I take my commitments to animals seriously (with the intent to have a lot of fun and play as well). I regularly trim dog nails for friends and family and have been training dogs for the past 14 years. My dog is 13 years old, in excellent health and is frequently used to assist in training puppies (she's a great communicator). I have a clear and intuitive understanding of animals and animal behavior. 9/25/2022 Update - My books are currently open to new clients for daily drop-ins, walks and day care. All additional services are open to existing clients only. 10/16/2022 Update - My books are currently closed to new clients but if you would like to get on my waiting list please send me a message, I look forward to working with you and your dogs! I work part-time, from home and create a stimulating daily environment for my dog and any dogs I am responsible for (I only take one client at a time). Regular daily activities include indoor and outdoor sniffari's, daily training, multiple daily play sessions, 1-2 walks per day, and 1-3 hikes per week. Pet care is my daily and weekly routine! I own a condo in which dogs must be leashed and immediately picked up after. The first outdoor adventure starts at 5-6am and the last outdoor adventure ends between 9-11pm. We walk/hike 1-2 times per day and my dog, Nova, is always with me. When I care for pets in a clients home I adhere to the schedule they are accustomed too and incorporate more play and exercise as the dog is able. My goal is to have a dog that is happy to see their owner but would also be happy to continue living with me!
About: I'm a professional, fun, and responsible traveling sitter! I've been petsitting for over 20 years now and have loved every minute of it! Several years ago I quit my corporate job to be able to travel and pet sit. I've been so fortunate that I've been able to travel all over the country spending time with incredible pets! I am enjoying the freedom of life so I'm willing to travel all over the US to petsit, so message me about sitting, no matter where you are located! As well as dogs and cats, I have cared for chickens, rabbits, birds, reptiles, small rodents, and horses. What started as a "favor" to a coworker, has turned into over 2 decades of happiness, fun, and adventures in pet and house sitting! I have been highly sought after for my services and have even been flown around the country to care for pets. I love dogs and cats and completely understand how important it is to make them feel safe and loved while their family is away. I'm also well versed in what it takes to keep a house running while owners are away. I happily take care of any chores, ranging from tending of gardens to mail pickup. The care level I’ve given has varied from puppy house training, to older pets requiring advanced medical treatment. I have also volunteered and fostered with animal rescue for over 15 years, so I have dealt with a variety of dog behavioral issues. I've fostered dogs ranging from 4 week old bottle fed puppies to dogs recovering from traumatic surgeries. I'm a clean, respectable, and responsible adult. I'm a non-smoker, non-drug user, and non-drinker. I keep a very clean house and am always respectful of my surroundings. I'm friendly, patient, caring, gentle, and get along with everyone - human and non-human :) I love being out in nature and being active, but also don't mind spending time with those pets who just enjoy lounging around the house. I like to have a "meet and greet" prior to any commitments, to ensure that you and your pets are comfortable with me, and I'm able to provide what everyone needs. I care for pets in my client’s home in the manner that the clients and pets expect. If they are used to walks, they get walks. If they enjoy pool time, they get pool time. If they typically sleep on the bed with a human, they get that :) I’m all about what the pets are typically used to and enjoy! I do small amounts of work online, have to help out with family and friends in the area on occasion, and do have some drop-in and walking clients, but besides those small commitments, my time is dedicated to the animals I’m caring for. I’m all about the pet’s schedule and can usually accommodate it very well! I care for pets in the client’s home in hopefully the same manner they do! I want to learn and follow the pets’ routines and schedules so that clients returning home have a flawless transition.
About: I have had pets (dogs, cats, turtles, fish) since I was a baby. I’ve also pet sat for senior pets, pets with specific medication needs, and homes with several pets at the same time. I work from home, so I’m available almost all weekdays for pet care! My schedule is relatively flexible. As long as I don’t already have plans for an outdoor adventure, I can likely meet your pet care needs! For house sitting jobs, I will need to bring my husband and dog Dean. For drop in visits and walks, I may or may not have my husband or dog with me.

She loves to go on long walks with dogs for exercise, she's great at giving them food, water, and medicine as needed daily, and she is good at training dogs as most of the dogs she's owned were rescued as puppies. Nancy is a responsible mature woman who will care for your home while you are away as if it were her own, you can trust her to follow your written care instructions, take care of your dog and communicate with you while you are away through text.”

Meggan R.
“A Truly Wonderful Dog Sitter! I can’t recommend Meggan enough! She has had dogs her whole life and has a natural connection with them. With over four years of dog sitting experience, she’s worked with all types of dogs—big, small, young, senior, energetic, and those that need a little extra patience or care. She’s incredibly responsible, communicative, and genuinely loves animals. Every time she watches a dog, she treats them like her own—with tons of love, attention, and care. You can always count on her to provide updates and go above and beyond to make sure your dog feels comfortable and happy. If you're looking for someone you can trust to take amazing care of your pup, Meggan is the one!”

Jenna would keep me updated on my babies as I wanted. I always received cute emails with pictures of all the neat adventures they went on. You and your dogs will love the care Jenna provides!”
Emily D.
“Leaving my dog can always be hard, but with Emily I have peace of mind. She spent the time getting to know my pup and letting him get comfortable in a new place. You can tell she loves animals and definitely prioritizes making sure their needs are met with outside and play time. Emily is very communicative and reliable and sends the best photos while she's taking care of my dog. I trust her judgement and know I don't have to worry when my dog is in her care.”
