Olivia was great! She watched my 1.5 year old lab, Sophie, at my house overnight and I couldn’t have felt more comfortable leaving her in Olivia’s hands. We did a meet & great beforehand so everyone felt comfortable and Olivia even brought a notebook for some notes on how to care for Sophs while I was away! I loved all the picture updates while I was gone - it was much appreciated! When I got home from my trip, it was like Sophie hadn’t missed a beat.. which just goes to show that Olivia took great care of her. Will absolutely reach out to Olivia again the next time Sophie needs a sitter. Highly recommend her to care for anyone’s pups!!

Steph takes excellent care of our pups: sent me pics everyday, was very communicative, and even came home to detailed written notes about each day. My girls needs medication twice a day, on time, and Steph was always exact in giving her meds! Very grateful and would highly recommend!

About: I have 3 small rescued dogs and they love other dogs and enjoy playmates. We have a doggie door that they can access the yard from 6 AM to 9 PM. The yard is secure and the fence is 4 feet high. Your dog will get played with, loved and spoiled in my care. I do not anticipate any problem with my daily or weekly routine. I would not accept an assignment if I knew I was too busy that week. Your pet comes first with me. Your fur baby will be in great hands. We love dogs, and our dogs are very friendly and enjoy other dogs. I never get tired of giving attention to any animal.

We went away for just one night and have always had family watch our pup while we are away. We recently moved away from family and have never used any service like this and was a little nervous. Karlyn came for a meet and greet and took away all our worries! We immediately felt relieved knowing our pup is in good hands. She took her for a evening and morning 2 mile walk. She sent pictures and videos and reassured us throughout our trip! I would absolutely recommend using Karlyn- especially if you’re a big worrier about your pup like me!

About: Hi, I’m Sherman. I provide dependable walking and sitting services for both dogs and cats, with experience handling pets of all temperaments—including reactive dogs and shy or anxious cats. I focus on calm, consistent care tailored to each animal’s needs, whether it’s daily exercise, drop-in visits, or overnight stays. Pet owners can count on clear communication, punctuality, and a respectful, low-stress approach to in-home care. I’m currently on summer break and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to give your pets plenty of time and attention throughout the day. I’m available for morning, afternoon, or evening visits, and I’m committed to providing consistent care I care for pets in their own home to keep them comfortable and stress-free. Services include feeding, walks, litter box cleaning, and playtime. I follow your routine closely and provide regular updates so you can feel confident while you’re away.

About: I love dogs!! I live alone and it's nice to have company. Be sure I like to spoil them and take care of all their needs. I usually make appointments as early as possible so I can be free for daytime hours. I babysit my great nephew who's 4 and can come with me too. I have a fenced in back yard and lots of walking paths in my home. They are welcomed on the furniture if you don't mind.

About: I am a Certified Veterinary Technician who loves pets of all species and sizes! I have 4 years of experience in the veterinary field with 2 years of veterinary technician schooling. I have had a dog since I was around 4 or 5 and ever since then I have loved animals beyond measure! I have pet sat for multiple people in my area. I can accurately feed, medicate, walk, bathe, bandage, recognize signs of emergency, perform CPR (in only the most extreme cases), etc for any pet needed I will soon be home a lot more often. While I do have to take care of my pets at home, I will be free most days through the week and I can do overnights on occasion. I am not comfortable bringing other pets into my home to meet my animals due to them being easily stressed. I will happily walk, spend the day with, snuggle your pets in your home or in public.

Sherman King is an excellent dog sitter. We have a reactive German Shepard who does not like anyone, making it very challenging to leave him. Sherman demonstrates a genuine love and compassion for animals, making them feel safe and comfortable. He is patient, responsible and has a great attention to detail. We have used him several times and are always very happy.
