“Shelby was absolutely wonderful! Prior to booking our first visit, she came to meet the pups and discuss all care expectations. On the day of the booking, she gave me a heads up when she’d be stopping over and arrived right on time. While Shelby took the dogs outside to roam and blow off energy, she snapped 4 cute photos to reassure me they were behaving well for her. 10/10 would recommend Shelby for any of your pet care needs!”
“I am very impressed with Cilyr, from the speed she answered to the request, to her detailed (and funny) reports, to how my two cats took to her in no time. Strongly recommended!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my experience as a dedicated dog foster. I've cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Fostering has taught me how to read dog body language, build trust quickly, and create a calm, loving environment where every pup feels safe and cared for. Whether it's playtime, walks, or just some extra snuggles, I treat every dog like they're my own. Dog care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I work from home and live an active lifestyle. I’m able to provide plenty of attention throughout the day, with regular walks, playtime, and potty breaks. Whether it’s a quick cuddle or an afternoon stroll, your pup will be part of my everyday rhythm. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special needs or medications. In my home, pets have a cozy, pet-friendly space with lots of attention and supervised play. In client homes, I treat their space with respect and make sure pets feel comfortable and secure while sticking to their normal routine.
“Great communication, wonderful care of our 2 cats while we were out of town. Sidney even picked up some extra food because I had miscounted the number of cans we needed. Thanks so much!”
“Savannah is caring and compassionate, I have a peace of mind knowing Indie Rae dog is in good hands while I am working. She takes the best photos and I love that she takes Indie out for walks. My worry dissipates, knowing my dog is being cared for while I’m away. I am so grateful for Jorden and Savannah and happy to have met them!”
“Pamela was very responsive and friendly! She came over beforehand for a meet and greet. She also sent a nice summary and pictures each day. I would highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve had a dog most of my life, and most recently had an English bulldog. I have always loved animals and enjoy caring for them. I’m very familiar and experienced with dog behaviors, training and the responsibility of taking care of an animal. My schedule is flexible, and I have plenty of time to care for your pup! Whether you need a dog walker or sitter, you can feel peace of mind knowing your pet is in good care and getting extra attention. 😊 I love walking and playing in the yard with pups! I will be sure to follow any specific instructions on caring for your fur baby while you’re away. I know it’s hard to leave a pet but I want you to feel at ease knowing your dog is in good hands. I’ve been caring for dogs my whole life, and I would love to meet your fur baby!
“Rose was able to stop by and check in on my dog even at a very last minute request! She did an amazing job taking care of my dog and had good communication with me. Definitely would book her again in the future!”
“Donna did ann excellent job watching our two kitties for a week while we were away. She is super communicative and sends photos from each visit. We had peace of mind while on vacation knowing Donna was taking care of our fur babies!”
About: I have had one dog for 4+ years, and another dog for 2+. I have dedicated a lot of my life since getting my two dogs as far as training them, taking them on long walks, playing with them, and most importantly, loving them and giving them all the attention they need and deserve. I have plenty of time throughout the day to take care of dogs because I currently do not have another job! I prefer to work early in the morning/afternoon. At my home, there is a lot of space for my doggies to run around because there is a park right outside my door which is great! They also have their own play space inside.
About: Will make sure your animals needs are met and that they will get lots of attention and playtime. I'll send you pictures of our adventures! Weekends I am available any time but do have some flexibility during the week. I look forward to being a part of your pet's playtime or walks. I'll follow any detailed instructions you have for your dog or cat so that they remain on a schedule/routine they are used to and comfortable with.
“Jayde once again did a wonderful job taking care of Sophie! Sophie even let her pet her! Jayde does a thoughtful and skilled job and is eager to do little extras while we are away. Thanks so much!!”
About: I’ve been around pets pretty much my whole life. I grew up with cats and dogs and had the responsibility of taking care of them since I was a young kid so I’m basically a professional. I have a passion for animals and would love to get some more exposure outside of the ones I have at home! I currently work a full time job so I don’t have as much time to do long term care, but I do work second shift so it’s perfect for those of you with a day job who can’t get home during the day to walk your pets or let them outside! I’m comfortable with handling your pets in your home as well as outside. I currently watch my friends dog here and there and I’ve handled her on walks outside as well as transporting her via my car.
About: Be worry free, and enjoy peace of mind with James on your team! Seasoned animal skills, both as a long time dog companion, and petsitter for both dogs and cats for the past decade! Your beloved animal companion comes first! Building a loving relationship with your pet is the foundation of my service to you; making sure they are safe on all levels, and offering them physical, emotional and mental connection that comes from the heart. I am dedicated to staying in touch with you - sending photos of your pet and also quickly responding to your inquiries and special requests while you are away. I'm also well versed in a variety of bodywork modalities and have supported animals during aging and end of life time. I'm confident with animals of all ages and stages. It also deeply matters that your mind and heart are completely at rest for the well being of your beloved pet/s and the security of your home. I take care in locking doors, taking in the mail and keeping your home cared for. I am also a non smoker and non drinker. Flexible schedule and I will work to fit your needs! I continue to work part time as a musician - singing for children the past 35+ years. I'm happy to sing for your beloved animal companion while I'm there or even consider a custom song creation as an add on service! Safety is number one for me and your pets. I will follow the rules you set up and be conscious to keep your pets safe on all levels.
“Laura again took excellent drop in care for our senior kitty, Sophie. Laura was even able to gain her trust and Sophie welcomed her petting after a couple of visits! Sophie is extremely shy with most people!”
About: I’ve worked at Feeder’s Supply, where I cared for a variety of animals and regularly bathed dogs of all sizes and temperaments. My experience there helped me build strong skills in animal handling and care. I’ve also owned many types of pets over the years and currently have two cats of my own. Whether it’s feeding, walking, bathing, or just giving them love and attention, I’m passionate about making sure every animal feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I currently spend most of my time caring for my daughter and cats, but am looking to share my love with other animals in need of care while their parents are busy! This can include regular services Monday to Saturday between 8:15 am and 4:45 pm; if you need something outside of this, message me and we’ll see what we can work out! For dogs, any equipment must be provided by you to ensure I am using leashes, toys, etc. that fit your pet and they are comfortable with. For cats, I can provide a cat harness or stroller to take them outside in a controlled environment for extra enrichment. I also have a set of cat toys to bring if needed.

Sara V.
“Sara and her two sons have been caring for our two boxers for many years, and we couldn’t be more grateful. They treat our dogs like their own—playing with them in our fenced yard, taking them on long walks, and showering them with love and attention. While we’re away, Sara keeps us updated with photos and videos, which gives us so much peace of mind. We trust her completely and feel incredibly lucky to have her and her family in our dogs’ lives.”

Azaria O.
“Great job. My guy was super happy and seemed comfortable. He got to go out a lot too! She took tons of pictures and was easy to get ahold of.”
Erin V.
“I’ve witnessed first hand, Erin’s love and constant nurture towards all animals. When my pets are under Erin’s care, they always return home happy, tired from an afternoon of play, and their belly filled with treats. It’s an incredible feeling knowing I can leave my loved ones under her care. With complete trust. It allows me to unplug and relax - and brings a smile to my face knowing they are getting pampered / spoiled. She is the first person that comes to mind anytime I leave my household for an extended period of time. I recommend her to anyone who wants to get away for a couple of days or needs their pup walked during the day - she is an absolute lifesaver. Though, please don’t hire her too much so I can have her when I need her!”
