“Chelsea did a wonderful job and made me feel at ease with someone else watching my dogs. She had great communication through the whole process, I will definitely be booking her again!”


“Can’t say enough great things about Caroline. New to the area and feel lucky to have found a responsible occasional caretaker for our shepherd. Caroline was just great to work with. From our initial meet and greet to the actual dog sitting….everything worked like a charm. Hats off to Caroline.”


About: For the past four years, I’ve been the dedicated sitter for a family who entrusts me with their pets every time they travel. I care for both their 2 dogs (Golden Aussie and Brindle Pitbull) and 2 senior cats, handling everything from feeding and playtime to clean up and companionship. I grew up with dogs and birds, and currently have a cat of my own, so I’m comfortable with animals of all kinds. I’m reliable, observant, and truly love spending time with animals—whether it’s a high-energy walk or a calm cuddle session. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family. I work full-time, but pet care is still a meaningful part of my routine. I’m available for boarding on weekends and for drop-ins or walks in the early mornings, evenings, and some lunch hours depending on your location. I’m used to coordinating around a work schedule, and I always make time for the animals in my care—they’re never an afterthought. When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize safety, routine, and respect for your space. I follow instructions exactly, stay in close communication, and treat your home and animals with care. Whether it's keeping up with feeding times, administering medication, or helping your pet feel less alone while you're away, I bring a calm and reliable presence to every visit.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I have experience with diabetic dogs. Dogs that need medicine. Special needs dogs. I love to play with them, walk them and I will treat them as my own. We raise horses so I have a lot of experience where you have to pay close attention so I would notice if something is off with you dog and I would address it immediately. I currently work 6 hours a day so you would not have to worry about your dog. I would walk, brush, and play with your dog. I would take care of your dog as my own at your home. I would make sure they are loved like my own. If they have special needs or need shots, medicine or anything extra you can feel safe with me.

About: Dogs have been a part of my life from an early age. I participated in many dog related 4-H programs growing up and raised a guiding eye puppy as a teen. I have completed obedience training and agility training with my own dogs. I love to meet new dogs and share in the joy and love that they bring to the world. I currently have flexibility in my schedule. I do have to care for my own dog (Nina), but we can work around her schedule and needs. I have a big yard with walking paths in the back that are provide lots of opportunities for sniffing and potty breaks. We will be getting a fence in the near future.

“Thank you so much Haley for taking care of our fur babies! We were so appreciative to get updates and pictures and know that they were okay while we took a date night. We’ll be booking again, for sure!”


About: I've taken care of furry critters my whole life. My neighbors, family, and friends always know they can rely on me. Have trained many dogs/puppies the basics and even how to rollover. I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time for taking special care of your furry friend. Whether that be an extensive diet, strict schedule, or just special care. I always make sure my animals are living their best life and would do the same for yours. I have a big fenced in yard the dogs love to interact with one another in and play. The cats aren't excluded either, mine are living their purrfect life as well.

About: I had dogs as I was growing up and have many friends with dogs or cats now. I have gone on walks and runs with dogs and given them baths. I am very flexible and can give walks throughout the day. I do not need too much notice before taking animals for walks just basic information about what they are like and what they need. I take care of pets with lots of respect and will always clean up after them no matter what situation they get into. I give them the attention they deserve and love they need.

About: I have always had a cat or dog since I can remember and they are the best companions. I truly enjoy the company of animals, sometimes more than people! I do work 8-5 Mon-Fri but am willing to help if needed. I can stop in before work and/or after work. I am usually a planner, but could take last minute jobs, depending on the area. We have a LARGE yard and our dog (for the most part) stays in his yard. Our cats are strictly house cats. I could feed them, clean the litter box, keep them company for a little while and love on them. If there were other little things that were needed, I wouldn't have a problem helping.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for over 10 years with experience in small and large dogs. I love to go for walks and take direction well with each dog because each parent loves their dog a little differently! I’m home by 5 everyday and love to go for walks or to the beach. I work very close so I can come walk the dog during the day as well. And I allow dogs on the furniture and in bed for extra snuggles. I don’t have my own dog but love dogsitting to fill the gap! I have a home with an unfenced yard but a lead in back for easy potty breaks and will walk dogs at least twice a day. I will also travel to homes/house sit and have lots of experience with this as well.

About: I haven’t met a dog I didn’t LOVE! With every unique personality and quirks, dogs have always held a very special place in my heart as companions, hard workers, and adventure buddies. Patience and understanding are a virtue when I introduce myself to a new dog. I am a persistent, positive reinforcement driven owner who loves to have lots of fun! I would absolutely enjoy getting to know your dog and creating a special bond. I offer basic commands training, puppy training, and special needs help (one of my two dogs is blind and deaf), along with administering any medications needed. I own and operate a restaurant Wednesday afternoon through Sunday night, so my schedule is heavily leaning towards Monday and Tuesday all day availability. I am also available in the mornings every day until about 2pm. I’m a routine person, we go potty every morning around 8:30-9am, have breakfast, and go outside again for another potty. Depending on the weather, Koda and I usually go for our walk around 12pm, lasting about 30-45 minutes (unless we are hiking a nature trail). Upon return it’s time for another potty break, then a few times more every 3-4 hours until it’s time for bed. In between those breaks are lots of playing inside and outdoors with toys and training with treats or cooked meats. I have a degree in wildlife biology, and focus on bird watching. This makes me very apt to sudden changes in the environment around me. I am quick to respond, and think critically on a whim to act on which is the best and safest approach to handle a situation. In the event that is beyond my control I would contact the owner (and possibly a veterinarian) immediately and let them know that I would like to take their dog to receive professional attention. Your pet comes first and I always make sure that our walks and training sessions are positive, exciting, and safe. While I seem energetic, I also have a relaxed disposition that is quite necessary when meeting a dog for the first time. They want to know that you are a safe and comfortable human that won’t harm or agitate them. I get down on their level, offer a hand out to encourage them to interact with me first, and then reward with a treat or toy. This is usually effective with repetition, but I understand that every dog is different. Trust is earned and I am persistent!

Mckayla W.
“I have had the pleasure of knowing Mckayla for more than 18 years. Over this time, I have been able to observe her with a variety of animals ranging from dogs to horses. The respect Mckayla has for all animals has been instilled in her from a very young age. She is always eager to interact with the animals around her. Mckayla is familiar and confident with a large variety of dog breeds, sizes, and temperaments. She is incredibly diligent and attentive to her responsibilities. I have had Mckayla look after my own (spoiled) dogs several times and they all love her. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a pet caregiver.”

Ashley H.
“Ashley has a passion for animals. And that’s putting it mildly. She worked for me at a nature center for more than a year, where she took great care of our resident salamander, frog, snakes and turtles. She brought guppies from her home aquarium to have on her desk, and they each had a name! She developed a live butterfly exhibit, bringing in monarch caterpillars so that visitors could watch them transform into butterflies and help her release them into the wild. Taking care of cold-blooded animals, maintaining fish and turtle tanks, keeping hungry caterpillars in fresh food requires a lot of thoughtful effort, with no “cuddle factor” as a reward. But Ashley loved it all! Her reward was just being around them, and handling them, and watching them thrive in her care. I can’t recommend Ashley enough as a pet sitter. She has a true heart for animals!”
