“I highly recommend Amber for any dog sitting or dog walking needs, no matter the size or personality of your pup! I have a 110 lb lab mix and a 70 lb Great Pyrenees mix—both can be a handful at times—but Amber handled them with confidence and care. Her experience with larger breeds (including her own huskies) gave me peace of mind from the start. What truly impressed me was how she connected with my younger dog, who is very skittish and slow to warm up to new people. By the end of the week, not only had my pup warmed up to Amber—she was jumping on the bed and cuddling next to her, something she rarely even does with me or my husband. I was amazed! Amber also sent me photos of the dogs every day to keep me updated, which I really appreciated—it helped so much when I was missing them while away. Amber went above and beyond to make our dogs feel safe and loved while we were away. We’ll absolutely be booking with her again for future stays!”
“Abby was amazing with my dog Jackson. She was super friendly, and she sent the best pictures of Jackson while we were on vacation. She’s excellent at communicating with the host, and she is also super understanding. I highly recommend, and I hope to work with her again in the future!”
“Synene is a wonderful sitter! She watched my 11 year-old dog for a few days and stayed over nights. Very responsive and attentive and from the photos, my dog looked like she had a blast. Would recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter/dog walker. Thank you, Synene!”
About: I have cared for and been around dogs throughout my whole life. I have always had a passion for animals! I love to run and play with dogs that have as much energy as I do or even just hangout on the couch and enjoy a relaxing day. I want to meet all of your pets needs even in last minute circumstances so that their humans can enjoy a stress free experience! Traveling and unexpected situations can be difficult and I want to make sure your pet is comfortable. I’m familiar with caring for senior dogs, puppies, and dogs with special needs. I currently make my own work schedule and have extremely flexible days. I’m always willing to adjust when needed. I love all sizes and breeds so I can accommodate any energy level as well I have a very loving and super friendly puppy of my own who would love to keep your pet company! We go for lots of walks throughout the day and get lots of time outside. I have cats as well that are very friendly with dogs but they can also be kept away in their own space if need be!
“Adeline was absolutely amazing with my two pups! Had a very last minute booking and she not only was willing to accommodate my needs but went above and beyond to make sure my dogs were cared for, comfortable, and happy. She also gave great updates throughout the stay. I couldn’t recommend her enough for any pet needs. Thank you again!!!”
“Kandy is always so helpful when we go out of town! Our Henry is a handful of an old man and we were always so worried about leaving him with someone when we were gone! I am so lucky to have found her! Henry might not show that he’s having a good time, but I know that he’s been well taken care of!”
About: From Rottweiler to Boston Terriers, I grew up and have experience with dogs both large and small. I absolutely LOVE being outside (maybe as much as your doggy!) and would enjoy going on a hike together! Nurture in nature. Get out and play, and enjoy the day! I know lots of trails and spots your companion would love! Or we can chill at my house, I've got a fenced in yard and a super comfy couch (come on, let's watch a movie together)! Or maybe your pooch is a homebody? We can hang out on your couch too! Upfront and honest, I have very little experience with cats. I can give food and water. As for creepy crawly reptiles and amphibians, sorry.. I'm not the right fit for ya! I've got years of canine experience and basic common sense. I strive provide to worry-free care. Your best friend deserves a great day to relax and enjoy. My goal is to create a trust and bond between myself, pet, and owner. Over time, being a reliable friend to call in a time of need. I bake doggie treats, and I like to share. Each new client will receive a FREE bag of homemade treats! I am pretty flexible. I am a stay at home mom/freelance writer/independent delivery driver. My son may have to accompany on some trips, but for the most part, I'm available 24/7. I've got a medium sized fenced in yard. Two sweet little boston terriers who love to play BALL! I live on a quiet dead end street, very safe for dogs.
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of different dogs, senior dogs who need extra care, puppies who need basic training and hours of playing, and calm dogs who wanna watch the evening news with you, I will treat your dog like they’re my own and I’m confident in my ability to treat your pet in the special ways they need. I’m currently working two days a week, which means I am very flexible with pet care, and would love to do what I can to help my community! I have a 6 month old puppy who’s never met a stranger, he loves to play and we’ll make sure they get their energy out. Your pet will be allowed on furniture and treated as my own.
“Ashley was awesome! She did a meet and greet and took plenty of notes. She was very communicative during our trip and sent photos and went above and beyond for our pets! We will definitely rebook her!”
“I knew from the moment I met Kim that my Chewy was going to be in good hands and well taken care of. She is so sweet and patient when he was getting to know her. She sent pictures and sent daily updates while I was away! Chewy was happy when I returned. I will definitely rebook with Kim for future trips!”
About: I have been around dogs my whole life and have watched over more dogs than can count. I also have three dogs of my own at home and one dog I take care of full time I am a full time college student and can be gone for a few hours for classes during the day, but I am home often other than school and the gym, so I am able to provide adequate attention for your fur baby! I currently don’t have a roommate, so it is just my fur baby Oreo, a 6 year old Boston Terrier, and myself! Occasionally we have guests stay over.
“We love Jessica and so does our pup! He is always happy and relaxed when we get home. She is reliable, punctual and trustworthy. This is her second visit to our home, and we won't hesitate to use her again!”
“THE BEST! She took such good care of my 2 cats. She sent a lot of pictures and even checked in the day after to make sure I got home safe from my trip. I will 100% ask her to watch my cats whenever I go out of town :)”
About: I currently live in an apartment complex that doesn't allow pets. I love animals so in order to fulfill my need for furry companionship I volunteer with a local animal rescue group in my spare time. I work at a law firm Monday through Friday from 8:30 to 5:00. I have no children and few responsibilities so I am looking for some pet sitting opportunities in my spare time. I am very reliable, trustworthy, and honest. I have had pets (dogs, cats, fish) nearly my entire life. I feel very comfortable with cats and dogs of every shape and size and treat them as if they were my own. I have taken pet sitting jobs in the past whether it be staying in the home or just stopping by to feed, walk, love. Also, my rate is negotiable.
About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life so when I am watching your pet it will get the best care out there. I also love to go for long walks and hikes so if your dog need exercise I am your guy. I can also help train and teach your pet new things. Your pet will come home as happy as you left them. I am willing to follow notes you leave behind. Animals health is really important to me so if you have any concerns about your animals please run that passed me before i walk or care for them. I am happy to start watching your pet and getting to know them. Thank you I work for a county, I have a very flexible job, I work 830 to 430 and can make it to your home when needed I am a very neat person I will leave your home how I found it.
