“I chose Susan to watch our dogs while we were gone one night because she had great reviews. I'm happy to say she lived up to the previous reviews and took great care of our pups! I really liked her detailed updates and pictures she sent me whenever she dropped in. Would definitely recommend!”

“Jess is amazing. She is always on time and I know when I return home that my pets have been loved and well taken care of. Thanks Jess for all you do to care for Peanut and Salem. :)”

“Sarah did a fantastic job watching our pups while my wife and I were out. She kept us updated the whole time and made sure they were well taken care of. It was clear she gave them plenty of attention and love, and we came home to two happy dogs. We’ll definitely be reaching out to her again next time we need someone reliable and caring.”

About: I have over 11 years of experience caring for cats through both personal ownership and cat sitting for clients, friends, and family. Over the last 2 years, I’ve also gained experience caring for dogs through pet sitting for friends and family members. My experience includes feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box cleaning, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I truly enjoy being around animals and understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always do my best to provide dependable, patient, and attentive care. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, playful, or needs extra comfort, I want owners to feel confident knowing their pets are in good hands with me. Currently working full time Monday through Friday. I clock in at 7:30am & finish between 2:30-3:30pm depending on the week. If you’d like my services anywhere between those times, I’d just need 5 days to a week’s notice prior to booking. Always free Saturday & Sundays. I make sure to ask numerous questions during meet & greets, that way I follow all care instructions exactly! I keep the environment clean, and make sure doors and windows are secured at all times. I also keep a close eye on every pet in case of any changes in behavior/health and provide regular updates with photos and videos

About: Hi, I’m Jai! I’m a passionate animal lover, certified dog groomer, and dedicated pet caregiver who believes every dog deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved — even when they’re away from their family. 🐶✨ My journey with animals began through my 4 years in FFA (Future Farmers of America), where I gained hands-on experience with animal care, responsibility, and proper handling. I also have experience working on a farm, which helped me develop a strong understanding of animal behavior, patience, safety, and the importance of providing consistent care. Throughout high school, I completed 4 years of agriculture classes, including animal science and anatomy studies, which helped me better understand animal health, body structure, and overall well-being. Along with my dog grooming certification, I have built a strong foundation in caring for dogs and understanding their individual needs. I am also continuing my education with the goal of opening my own affordable, high-quality dog care facility, where every pet can receive loving, dependable care without families having to worry about the cost. My passion is creating a place where dogs feel at home and owners feel confident knowing their pets are in caring hands. I understand that every dog is unique. Whether your pup is a playful adventurer, a shy sweetheart, a senior needing extra patience, or a cuddle-loving companion, I take the time to learn their personality and make sure they feel comfortable. When your dog is in my care, you can expect: 🐾 Safe, reliable, and personalized attention 🐾 Plenty of playtime, enrichment, and affection 🐾 Walks and activities based on your dog’s energy level 🐾 Grooming knowledge and attention to their comfort 🐾 Regular updates and photos so you can stay connected 🐾 A patient, caring, and responsible environment Caring for animals isn’t just something I do — it’s something I’m passionate about and continue to build my future around. I would love the opportunity to meet your furry family member and provide them with the same love, patience, and care I would want for my own. 🐕💛 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as a stay-at-home mom because I’m already dedicated to creating a structured, safe, and loving environment. My days are built around routines, responsibility, and making sure everyone’s needs are met — including my furry guests. Being a stay-at-home mom gives me the flexibility to provide consistent care throughout the day, including walks, playtime, feeding schedules, bathroom breaks, enrichment, and plenty of attention. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure each pet feels comfortable, happy, and loved while they’re in my care. One of the things that makes my home special is my 4 acres of outdoor space where dogs can enjoy supervised playtime, exercise, and exploring. My property includes a walking trail, a river area, and an invisible fence system that helps provide an added layer of security while they enjoy the outdoors. Safety is always my top priority, and I make sure every pup is comfortable and cared for during outdoor activities. I love creating a home-away-from-home experience where dogs can relax, have fun, and receive personalized attention. Between my animal care background, grooming experience, and love for dogs, I’m committed to giving each pet the patience, care, and affection they deserve. I want owners to feel confident knowing their furry family members are in a safe, loving, and attentive environment. 🐾 When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where every dog feels like part of the family. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, energy level, and individual needs so I can provide personalized care. My daily routine allows me to give dogs plenty of attention, including regular potty breaks, meals on schedule, playtime, exercise, enrichment activities, and lots of affection. I have 4 acres of outdoor space where dogs can enjoy supervised adventures, including a trail for walks, open areas to play, and access to nature while being protected by an invisible fence system for added security. I understand that every dog is different, so I follow the owner’s instructions closely regarding feeding, medications, comfort preferences, and daily habits. My background as a certified dog groomer, along with my experience through FFA, agriculture classes, and working on a farm, has helped me understand animal behavior, safe handling, and the importance of patience and proper care. My goal is to provide a home-away-from-home experience where pets feel happy, relaxed, and loved while their owners have peace of mind knowing they are receiving dependable, attentive care. 🐾If a pet is crate-trained or an owner requests it, I can comfortably use crates for rest periods, meals, or bedtime to help maintain their normal routine. Throughout the day, pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and affection, and I work to keep their schedules as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and at ease while away from home.
“Alyssa was phenomenal! She communicated throughout all of her visits and took photos of our pets to keep us at ease while we were away. I really appreciate her attention to details and her willingness to go above and beyond. We will 100% book her again.”

“Victoria is a very caring and conscientious dog sitter. She genuinely care about my dog, played with him and bonded quickly with my dog. She provided exceptional and professional service. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter.”

“Katia took excellent care of our two cats! We enjoyed seeing the photos of our fur babies when we were on vacation and were very pleased with the care Katia provided them. We will definitely have her care for them in the future.”


About: Hi! I’m Olivia, a reliable and caring animal lover with experience around dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I grew up around many dogs with very different personalities and energy levels, which helped me become comfortable handling everything from playful, energetic pups to more shy or anxious dogs. I also have my own dog, Chunk, a 3-year-old black lab mix, who is incredibly loving with people, children, and other animals. Caring for him has taught me how important patience, consistency, and lots of love are when it comes to pets. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether your pup needs a walk, drop-in visit, or companionship while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m responsible, communicative, and happy to follow any routines or special instructions your pet may need. I also love sending updates and photos during visits so owners can feel comfortable while away. At this time, I am only offering walks and drop-in visits, and I am not currently providing boarding, overnight stays, or doggy daycare services. As someone balancing graduate-level healthcare training, I’m attentive, dependable, patient, and used to caring for others. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family member! As a graduate student, my schedule varies week to week, but I currently have availability Mondays after 3 PM, Wednesdays before 1 PM, and Fridays after 3 PM. Weekend availability depends on my monthly schedule, but I will always communicate availability clearly and promptly! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. During walks and drop-in visits, I make sure pets are supervised, secure, and cared for according to their normal routines and any owner instructions provided. I pay close attention to behavior, body language, and surroundings to help pets feel safe and comfortable at all times. I understand that every animal has different needs and temperaments, and I always approach pets with patience, kindness, and respect. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident and connected while away.
“Myranda sat for my two cats and did a great job. My cats are shy but she was able to get pictures each day and one came out during her sit. She is very responsible and followed my instructions (probably too many!) to a T. It was a great comfort to me knowing she was taking care of them while we were away. I highly recommend her to anyone with cats or dogs. She’s a gem!!!”


“Stacey was incredible!!! She came over the night prior to meet us and our dog which was so nice. She checked in right on time and with the experience she has, we felt so comfortable trusting her with our dog! Thank you so much for evrtyhing!”

I am very organized and detail-oriented and can guarantee that any instructions you have for your pet's care will be followed exactly as requested. I also have local vets and Petsmart on speed dial in the unlikely case of emergency. Beyond being qualified though, I truly love spending time with animals and ensuring they are as happy and healthy as can be! Some people on here are only interested in the money and do the bare minimum, but I can personally guarantee that I will go above and beyond to ensure you and your pet are happy! I work remotely, so I'm available pretty much anytime! Please check my calendar for availability prior to requesting services, I'll have it updated when I am unavailable. I promise to treat each pet like their own individual, making sure each one gets the proper love and care they deserve through long walks, scheduled food times, and endless pets!

Kristie was fantastic - came at the designated times, communicated and asked questions as needed, and kept the backyard clean; the dogs we happy and well taken care of while we were gone for the weekend. She made me feel so comfortable, especially with a snarky dog that is a challenge sometimes. Looking forward to having her watch the dogs again!

Donovan was an absolute pleasure to have! He cared for all three of my dogs at once, and trust me—they’re a handful with their different personalities. Somehow, he made it all look like a breeze while I was away on my trip. He went above and beyond, even sending me picture updates that gave me peace of mind. My dogs were clearly happy and comfortable in his care, which means the world to me. I’ll definitely be requesting him again for my future vacations. Thank you so much, Donovan!

Susan is amazing! My cat loves her and even though he’s shy, he’ll come out to see her while we’re gone. Such a nice service to have so your pet has a friendly face to check on them. Highly recommend her to anyone who needs drop-in visits while they’re away.
