About: Animals are our passion, and we’ve built a life around caring for them. With over 20 years of combined experience caring for animals, we’ve looked after dogs and cats of all ages—from energetic puppies to senior pets needing extra love and attention. We also have extensive experience with reptiles, small animals, and pets with medical needs. Our home is full of love (and fur)! Our oldest dog is 13, and our youngest is nearly 1, so we’re familiar with a wide range of behaviors, energy levels, and care requirements. Melissa previously worked as a vet tech in training, so we’re also fully comfortable administering medications and understanding medical instructions. I’m a U.S. Army veteran, and my military background has helped shape me into someone who’s dependable, organized, and calm under pressure. I bring those qualities into every pet sitting job, aiming to keep your pets happy, healthy, and stress-free while you’re away. Whether your pet needs early-morning walks, medication, or just someone to stick to their routine—I’m here to help. We’re currently available any time, any day—including holidays and last-minute bookings. Our schedule is 100% flexible, so we can easily accommodate your pet’s unique routine. When caring for pets in your home or on their usual walking routes, safety and trust are always top priorities. We take the time to understand your pet’s environment, routines, and needs—whether it’s a quiet walk through the neighborhood or special instructions for your home while you’re away. We’re respectful of your space and treat your home with care and professionalism. You can count on us to follow your instructions closely, lock up securely, and maintain a clean, safe environment for your pets. During walks, we stick to routes your dog is familiar with (unless instructed otherwise) and always keep them leashed and under control. We’re alert to potential hazards like traffic, other dogs, or wildlife and will adjust as needed to keep your pet safe and calm. Communication is key—we’ll keep you updated and will always reach out if anything seems off or needs attention.

“Ellen was so good with my 3-legged pup! She was very kind, responsive, and on top of all of his needs and walks. Would definitely recommend her to anyone in the area!”

“Clair is great! She follows instructions, walked at Mo’s pace, and took care of him like I would. I booked longer because my dog(Mo) is a slow walker. She fed him, made sure his water bowls had fresh water and also gave him just supplements when needed, and treat. Will user her services in the future again!”

About: Animal lover here! I take very good care of dogs of all kinds as demonstrated by my volunteer and pet sitting experience. I have volunteered at shelters with scared dogs large and small, fostered and trained shelter puppies, was a babysitter for puppy raisers with Guide Dogs for the Blind and served client families as a professional pet sitter. My role for others' fur babies is to provide care so that they have their needs met in their parents' absence. I am a great surrogate parent! I like to keep dog routines continued to minimize stress on pets and their people. For parents that don't have the time or for dogs that can use additional exercise, I can take dogs out for walks. I have also been a cat mom of 4 at once and love cats too! I have my dog, Brodie, and my routine revolves around him. I make sure he gets the memtal and physical stimulation and exercise he needs to be healthy and happy. I want to help my clients and pets with this as well for their families. I have a fenced yard and very dog-friendly set up at home. At client's homes, I respect the space and help pets feel secure in their routines with attention and care.

About: Since I was young, I have always had large breed dogs in the household, Rottweilers and German Shepards, and have always been comfortable with them. While in high-school and college, my fiance and I raised puppies for Guide Dogs for the Blind, 4 of our 5 puppies finished the program and were matched with people in need. We helped co-raise around 6 additional puppies as well. We also love cats, we have a tabby-calico mix named Teva, a lyxn point siamese named Minnie, and a gray siamese mix named Baby. Pima, one of the puppies that did not complete the program has been with us for 11 years now, and we have loved every moment of it. Unfortunately Pima passed away from cancer, but we do have a new addition to the family! We now have a big boy named Koa, an 80 lb American Rottweiler mix we adopted after he was found roaming Lacey Wa. He was very aggressive and untrained when we adopted him, but now he is the prime example of a model dog with our training! My schedule is very open. My wife is a school teacher so I do prefer to have the weekend off, but weekend visits are fine as well. I do have a fully fenced yard, our cats are indoor only, but one does go outside on a leash because she is adventurous. Very respectful of other's space.

“Amy came to help us with walks on our trip and she was amazing. Our dog loved walking with her and we would absolutely book her again. Fantastic care?”

About: I adopted my first dog around 7 years old. Since then I have raised, rescued, fostered, and sat for all sizes and breeds for the last 30 years. I am a full time dog walker and pet sitter. My schedule is flexible. I would love to be best friends with your furry family members! I prefer to watch your pets in the comfort of their own home. I have a fenced yard, and we can try a meet and greet, but my older dog has gone blind and is not as accepting of new dogs as he once was.

“Margaret is dependable, has a wide knowledge of dogs and dog behavior, great communication, and you can tell really cares about the pups! Highly recommend.”

Sarah J.

“Benny enjoyed his walk with Ashley!”

“Annmarie was great! Quick to respond and gave a great recap of the walk! Appreciate the communication!”

About: I can hardly remember a time where i didnt have at least one pet. I volunteered at animal care and dogwash places throughout highschool as well as taking care of my grandmother and other seniors in life I am looking for work but currently unemployed and always able to give your pet only the best care and time I walk and drive I care for pets in my home by feeding them the proper food,giving them water,snuggling and playing with them,taking them on walks to excersize as well as getting them outside for bathroom breaks

About: I’ve taken care of cats, I have 2 cats as well! While I was in college my roommates had dogs that I would watch when they would leave or couldn’t come home in time. I’m good with both both cats and dogs. Im currently working part time, I don’t think pet sitting is a job it’s so fun to do so I would love it as a side job. I’m also getting my masters in biomedical sciences right now My pets have access to every inch of the house and are well cared for, toys, scratch post and many treats! I love playing with them, taking them outside, feeding and can also clean litter boxes

“Amanda is amazing 5atars Great communication Responded Within minutes of my inquiry . Responded with professionalism and was personable. Very sweet and easy to talk too. Gave me great updates on the walk. She handled my Belgian malinoise that's overweight about 150lbs. In addition so working with my other dog thatnis very timid - both were very responsive to her and trusted her. I would hire her again in the heartbeat. She has a very sweet and trusting demeanor.”

About: Hi! I work as a Paraeducator at a school, so I have summers off and I can’t think of a better way to spend that time than caring for dogs! I’ve always been an animal lover, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pup needs playtime, snuggles, walks, or just a calm and caring presence while you’re away, I’m here to help! ☺️ My schedule is pretty open during the Summer besides spending every other weekend with friends and family. Once I go back to work in September, I will only be able to house sit as long as it is in reasonable distance from my workplace. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely whether that’s feeding schedules, walk times, medication, or favorite toys and treats. I know every pet is different, so I pay attention to their personality and comfort level, whether they’re energetic and playful or more shy and relaxed. I will also make sure to keep the home clean and secure while you’re away. I’ll give updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. My goal is always to treat your home and your pet with the same respect and love I would want for my own.

About: I have had dogs, large and small, young and old since childhood and was the neighborhood pet sitter growing up. I'm a proud German Shepherd mama who would love to add a short term or extended stay buddy for Miss Ziva. Now that I work from home full time, my pupper needs a friend! We'd love to meet your fur baby. Don't let my baby's size fool you, she's a huge lover. I would prefer my home but can make arrangements to come to you! My dog is a free range dog in the house, but can adapt to changes depending on our guest. Definitely will respect your fur babies routine. We do have a dog park at my complex and would accommodate any anxiety issues. My 15 year old would give your baby extra attention as she is a regular Nana Nurse.

About: I love dogs and all Animals, I also have animal and human CPR training. I am in a great dog loving area. I enjoy dogs of all sizes and ages and have the flexibility to provide and care for any dog.
