“An absolute pleasure to work with. Elaina did a fantastic job taking care of our dog and sent us pictures throughout the day. She also left our home very clean. I highly recommend and will use in the future.”
“I have a Rottweiler and anyone with a big dog knows how hard it is to find a sitter. Kerri does an amazing job with him. She is an incredible house guest. I appreciate the love she has for my buddy. Knowing he is with someone that loves him allows me to enjoy my vacations, worry free.”
“Lora was absolutely phenomenal with our two high maintenance cats and anxious dog Stout. She followed every single one of our instructions to a T, and sent us numerous updates that made it possible for us to enjoy and relax while we were away. She also left the house in immaculate condition, even better than she found it! Lora far exceeded our expectations and would not hesitate to utilize her services again. Thank you so much!”
About: I love the babies and the old folks yelling, "Get offa my lawn!" I care for puppies who are at least partially housebroken (tell me your style, and I can adapt to it). I care for seniors who need medicine and/or mobility equipment. I care for all the dogs in-between. I have cared for dogs with skin allergies and skittish dogs who are terrified of storms. I will help your dog feel right at home everywhere we go. I go to college online, part-time, so your schedule is my schedule. I am free whenever you need me, generally within one day's notice. If you need me to housesit, as long you have wi-fi, I am good to go. I live in a townhouse, and I have a cat, so I can only doggy daycare small-to-medium dogs, but we can take walks all day long, if your pup wants! At your home, your rules are my rules. I will follow whatever reasonable instructions you have for your pets. (I can also water your plants and feed your fish/birds/small mammals/reptiles.)
About: I prioritize understanding animal behavior, which allows me to quickly pick up on your pet's needs. I know how crucial health is for pets, so I ensure they get plenty of exercise. With experience caring for both young and senior pets, I provide tailored care that includes training and gentle handling. As well as being accommodating to your special requests. Your furry friend will feel safe and loved in my care! I'm currently a student at SCF, and while my hours can fluctuate, I always prioritize my schoolwork and taking care of pets. You can count on me to be accommodating. I offer a safe, comfortable environment with a structured routine for feeding, exercise, and play, plus regular updates to owners. I also accommodate to owners special requests to make the experience more comfortable.
“Tifawni took excellent care of our brood (2 dogs and 2 cats) and was professional and reliable. She was a life saver after our original pet sitter fell through quite last minute. She loved on our pets, was amazing with our anxious dog, and left our house spotless. Book her, she’s incredible!”
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs and cats before. I also have plenty experience taking care of bigger animals as I used to be a working student at the barn I boarded my horses at from when I was 10-15. I’ve been trusted by many friends and family to take care of their furry friends including but not limited to horses, bunnies, fish, dogs, and cats. I have experience with grooming dogs as well due to having a golden doodle of my own. If you have any more questions feel free to ask! I currently work a Part-time job that schedules me 2-3 times a week so I have a lot of availability to make house visits or spend the day as much as you would need me to! I also love to go on walks and take hikes so if I am looking after an Active dog it is no problem! If your dog likes to play with other dogs I have a fenced in yard and two other dogs of mine who are very friendly. I am very neat and organized so the chance of your animal eating something or getting into something they’re not supposed to is very slim.
“We couldn’t be more thrilled with Ryan! Thank you again for watching our boys. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a dependable and loving person to watch over your pups!”
About: While I’m newer to professional pet care (3 years), I’ve spent lots of time walking and caring for dogs for friends and family. I’m dependable, gentle, and always make sure pets feel safe and happy. I’m especially good with routines and following care instructions closely, whether it’s feeding, walking, or playtime. I may be newer, but I’m passionate about animals and committed to giving every dog the attention and love they deserve. As a part-time worker, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to have consisted time frames to dedicate to pet care. I enjoy spending time with animals, and taking care of pets fits naturally into my routine—it’s something I genuinely look forward to. Whether it’s a walk before work or a check-in visit after, I always make sure each pet gets the attention and care they need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their routines closely to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they have fresh water, meals on time, regular walks, playtime, and lots of affection. I also keep the space tidy and provide updates to the owner for peace of mind, when needed. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I create a safe, cozy environment and stick to their usual schedule as much as possible. Whether in their home or mine, I treat every pet with the same love and attention I would give my own.
“We were away for 6 days. Mina stayed at our house with Bronc. She visited ahead of time to get the "lay of the land" and instructions. Bronc is a 4 1/2 yr old, active CBR. Mina did GREAT. She sent a couple phots every day. Bronc was happy to see us when we came home but not shot out of a cannon. He was calm. That says it all for an active CBR!”
“Alexandra is my Theo's new best friend. She sent pictures and stayed in contact while I was away, and she cared for him exactly as I asked. Alexandra will be my go-to sitter moving forward!”
“Jessica was great! She took excellent care of our pups and went the extra mile since they are deaf and have some special needs!! We were so lucky to have found Jessica to take care of them.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets most of my life. Friends and relatives call me to either walk their dogs or take care of their cats while they are away. Your precious fur babies are in great hands with me! My schedule will be 7 days a week. My wish is to do this full time☺️ What better job than taking care of you furbabies! ( That includes cats also) PLUS GET $20 off of your first service! I love dog walking because it gets us both outdoors and it’s great exercise for both of us! I can’t wait to meet your fur baby❤️
“My dog has anxiety and doesn’t do well being boarded. He needed someone to come stay with him in our home and that person was Tori. Tori understood his needs. In the past when I have traveled, I would come home to an upset dog. This time I arrived home and he was happy. I received so many photos and texts from Tori about how he was doing that I was able to enjoy my trip. The fact that she took such great care of him, made it easier to be away from him. Tori is AMAZING!!! I will definitely use Tori again.”

Cheryl B.
“Cheryl loves animals. I have used her a number of times. She has cared for my 2 Vizslas which require extra snuggling and attention. I like that she will house sit with them so they can stay in a familiar environment while I am away. She will play with them inside and outside, so they are closely watched. She knows by being with the dogs, she would be able to spot any abnormal behavior and then react appropriately.”

“I can’t recommend Alicia enough—she’s an amazing dog sitter! From the moment she met my puppy, it was clear she genuinely loves and understands animals. She’s reliable, attentive, and goes above and beyond to make sure my dog feels safe, happy, and entertained. The only downside? I’m beginning to think my dog likes Alicia more than he likes me! If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, Alicia is the one!”
