“Eva K. was very accommodating and I'm so grateful that they were able to help me out! My guy is a social eater so having Eva there ensured that he would at least eat something while I was gone.”

About: I love dogs! I've been fostering dogs with The Bond Between, formerly Secondhand Hounds, for over 5 years. I used to have 2 of my own, a Miniature Poodle and a Shih Tzu, but they both died in June of 2019, one week apart. They were both 15 years old. Ever since then I've been fostering and it's the most rewarding thing I've ever done. Through fostering I've received obedience training and learned numerous tips and tricks for helping dogs to be successful and to find their forever home. I've learned about leash reactivity and how to avoid it, how to do loose leash walking to avoid pulling, and how important it is to keep them looking to me for direction. I've worked with shy, fearful dogs as well as easy going "I love everybody" dogs. Play time and cuddle time are my favorite things about being with dogs. My own personal preference is to let dogs on the couch with me and sleep in my bed at night. But I've done a bit of dog sitting for former foster dogs and fully respect the new owners’ expectations and boundaries. My goal is to do what makes you and your dog happy. I live alone in a townhouse so there are only my foster dogs and no children in the mix. I have a small front yard so all outside time will be on a leash and/or on a walk. I can't wait to meet your dog! NOTE: My 10% rating for sending photos is a bit misleading because I send them to personal cell phone numbers for convenience, therefore they don’t get tracked. But 100% of my clients receive photos and videos multiple times per day. I'm currently working a full time job from home, so I can attend to your dog's needs throughout the day and my break times are very flexible. I'm pretty much a home body, enjoying as much dog time as I can get! My house is set up for dogs more than people! I have area rugs down for senior dogs that have a hard time walking on a smooth surface. I have a small gated pen set up for separating dogs during feeding times and I gate off the stairs to go upstairs unless I'm up there with the dogs. I also have 2 crates with the doors open if a dog wants their own small safe space. I supervise all eating times and always put dogs on a leash when outside. I have multiple dog beds and comfy sleeping spots throughout my house.

“Carla was amazing looking after our fur babies! Easy communication and very friendly and reliable. This was our first time leaving them for the weekend. So glad we found her!”

“Molly did a wonderful job looking after our cats Harper & Monroe. From the pictures and texts she sent daily we could tell they seemed very comfortable with her from day one , she is a natural with cats!”

“Ben was a very kind and conscientious sitter for our elderly cat who needs daily medication. He was an excellent communicator and I would definitely hire him in the future.”

Lindsey D.

“Christine was awesome! She was only tasked with taking care of our rambunctious puppy, but still made the time to take photos and give treats to our two cats. She went above and beyond to play with the dog and tire him out (which is a tough task). Thank you Christine for taking on our puppy and spending time with him!”

Astin G.

“Brie was great to work with! She was easy to communicate with, on time, and provided pictures and updates that made me feel like my cat was well taken care of.”

Natalia N.

“Tori took great care of our cat for 5 days and I wouldn’t hesitate to have her back to take care of Mr T again. I appreciated receiving photos while I was away. Tori is great to work with!”

Britt O.

“Anna was an exceptional dog sitter for our senior cavapoo! She was extremely caring and trustworthy! We never worried at all while we were away. We loved her communication! She was very thorough and sent us the cutest pictures of our dog and notes to match of how she was doing when she came to visit her. We will absolutely call Anna again!”

“Jessie took care of my cat while we were gone for 2 weeks on vacation. She did everything I asked of her, checked food and water, cleaned the litter boxes, ect.”

Kimberly B.

“Bria was AWESOME with Brando. Had no issues with her. From the booking process and her quick responses to my impromptu requests; she met every requirement. Will definitely be using her again.”

About: I’ve had animals my entire life, those including dogs (small and giant), cats, small animals such as rats and hamsters, fish, turtles, etc. I have experience dealing with reactive dogs as well. If you would need care for an animal other than a dog or cat, feel free to message me and we could work something out! I work full-time, but working ten hour shifts I’m able to have three full days off during the week. If needed I would be open to stopping in before my shifts as I start at noon. Due to the tiny space and amount of animals I have currently in my home, I don’t feel comfortable having dogs or cats. I would consider caged animals if needed!

“Josephine was great. She showed up when she said she would and managed Greta who is often scared and prefers to be left with me. Would definitely have back. Thanks!”

Alyssa P.

“Dana was prompt, communicative, and even flexible when I accidentally had the wrong time arranged.”

About: I’ve cared for pets from high-energy pups to gentle seniors. Friends have trusted me to walk, feed, and love their animals like family, including overnight stays in their homes. What sets me apart is the way I tune in—I adjust my care to each pet’s personality and comfort level, whether that means silly playtime, quiet companionship, or sticking to special routines. I offer more than just pet care—I build trust and emotional comfort so your pet feels truly relaxed while you're away. I offer reliable pet care services, including house sitting (for both cats and dogs), dog walking, and drop-in visits. I’m generally available on weekdays and weekends, with services scheduled ahead of time. You can count on me to show up on time, follow your pet’s routine, and provide attentive, trustworthy care while you're away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space, follow routines closely, and create a calm environment where pets feel comfortable. I clean up after feedings, walks, and accidents to keep things tidy and stress-free. I handle keys responsibly, leave your home as I found it, and always prioritize your pet’s safety and well-being.

About: Hi! I have grown up with dogs my whole life and would love to take care of and play with yours while you are out away. I have experience with both puppies and senior care animals. I am a current graduate student and would love to care for your animal(s) in my free time. My schedule is always changing, but pretty flexible overall! I am unable to care for your pets in my home due to renting. I am sorry for this inconvenience, but would love to help out in your home.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is, my experience with many different animals, and different tempers, I am comfortable taking care of any dog breed and don’t have a preference or problem with any size! I currently do not have a job outside of petsitting. So i will have lots of time for your animals! I own many pets so proper pet care is a priority for me! I have a partially fenced in medium sized yard (fenced on one side with tree-line on another side), I am home all day so dogs can have walks, be let outside to go potty as often as needed, I do have a cat and dog (both friendly with other dogs) that live in the home as well!
