“Brandi was awesome. Booked her last minute. And she came for a meet and greet that evening. Followed all the care instructions I asked. Very happy with her visit-follow up-and photos. Will definitely be a repeat customer!”

“Fabulous sitter, my kittens are skittish with new voices, she was able to snap some pictures anyway. She was prompt with visits and took good care of my little ones. I will call Elise again, definitely.”

About: Ive grown up with pets my whole life, and when I got old enough, I would frequently care for family members pets, as well as families around the neighborhood. I'm very comfortable with dogs of all sizes, cats, and other pets! I'm available for drop ins/walks in the morning, later afternoon and evening. During the weekend, I'm generally available anytime. My schedule can be flexible, so I'm willing to try to work with your schedule. I make sure to follow the owners instructions on how to care for their pet, and adjust accordingly to the needs of the pet. The safety and well being of pets is first and foremost

“Hawraa was great! She was easy to communicate with, and we received a daily report with photos. We will definitely rebook when the time comes.”

“Ashley was great with Penny! She was caring and prompt ♥️. I hired her for future walks already!!!”

“Anne took great care of our pups while we were away. Excellent communication. Instructions followed perfectly. Dogs happy when we returned. Highly recommend.”

“I highly recommend Dawnn! I was out of state attending a family funeral and needed someone I could trust to care for my dogs while I was away. Dawnn provided drop-in visits, feeding, potty breaks, and lots of attention for both of my dogs. She kept in constant communication with me throughout the entire time, sending updates and making sure I knew how they were doing. Savannah already knew Dawnn, but this was her first time caring for Selena, and everything went wonderfully. It was clear that Dawnn genuinely cared about their well-being and understood what was best for them. Being away from my dogs during a difficult week was stressful, but Dawnn gave me peace of mind knowing they were being well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter.”

About: My name is Sara and I have been an animal lover my entire life. I have had experience caring for dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles, and even wild animals! I have a Basset Hound named Minnow who wants to be friends with anything that moves. I can stop by your home to care for larger animals like dogs, cats, etc. But I am totally cool with your small animal (I.e. Guinea pigs, rats, rabbits, etc.) staying with me if needed. I would be honored to care for your pets, spoil them, and treat them like my own. I’m currently working full time 8am - 5pm Monday through Friday. I can stop by your house to care for your animal early morning, on my lunch break, after work, and any time on the weekends. I have a safe and separate room I can place your small animal in while caring for them. A cage provided by the owner is required.

“Kelsey was great! She took care of our cats while we were on vacation. She was great with communication and sending pictures/updates while we were gone.”

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a home with both cats and dogs, and I truly cannot imagine life without them as part of the family. That is not just something I say. It is how I live. I have had cats since I was six years old, and my wife and I have shared our home with both cats and dogs our entire adult lives. Right now, our little crew includes our ten year old dog Nara and our two younger cats, Chiri and Lulu. Living in a multi-pet household has taught me how to read different personalities, manage different energy levels, and create a calm, respectful environment where everyone feels secure. I do not see pets as property. They are sentient, emotional members of the family with their own routines, preferences, and boundaries. When I care for your pet, I approach them with patience, attentiveness, and genuine respect. I adjust to their temperament. High energy or shy. Playful or independent. Young or senior. My goal is always the same. Make them feel safe, understood, and comfortable in their own space. My wife brings years of pet sitting experience and previously worked as a dog trainer and consultant. I have learned a great deal from her about behavior, structure, positive reinforcement, and how to respond calmly in different situations. That experience has shaped how I show up with animals. Steady. Observant. Consistent. When caring for your pets, I focus on: • Keeping routines consistent • Providing appropriate play and enrichment • Maintaining clean food, water, and litter areas • Offering calm companionship when that is what they need • Sending thoughtful updates and photos so you feel completely at ease Leaving your pets in someone else’s care requires trust. I take that responsibility seriously. I will treat your pets the way I treat my own. With patience, kindness, and real affection. If you are looking for someone who understands that your pets are family, I would love to help. 🐾 My schedule is flexible, which allows me to give your pet the time and attention they deserve. I focus on keeping their routine consistent, with regular potty breaks, play when they’re up for it, and plenty of companionship rather than quick, rushed visits. I’m available for afternoon and evening visits, weekend care, overnight stays in your home, house sitting, and extended care when needed. Whether your pet needs a few check-ins during the day, weekend coverage, or overnight care, I’m happy to work around what fits best for you. I aim to be present, attentive, and easy to communicate with, and I’ll send regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is comfortable and well cared for. If you have specific timing or needs, feel free to reach out. I’m always happy to find a setup that works well for you and your pets. 🐾 Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for your pets, whether in your home or mine. In your home, I focus on keeping your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. I carefully follow feeding instructions, medication schedules, walking preferences, and any household guidelines you provide. I’m attentive to details like doors, gates, leashes, and secure areas so your pet stays safe at all times, and I treat your home with the same respect and care I would my own. My approach is calm, patient, and low-stress. I use fear-free handling techniques and pay close attention to behavior and subtle changes, especially for pets who may be more sensitive or require extra care. I’m also certified in Dog CPR & First Aid, so I’m prepared to recognize and respond appropriately if any concerns arise. I believe in clear, proactive communication. If anything seems off, I’ll reach out right away so you always feel informed and at ease. I aim to create an environment where every pet feels safe, understood, and genuinely cared for. They’re family, and I treat them that way. 🐾

About: I've had dogs in my home all my life. I have experience caring for a variety of breeds and sizes. I love dogs and will care for each one with whatever is needed. I'm not afraid to try something new. I create stories and share them with others. Whether it's through my YouTube channel or publishing books, I enjoy stories. I may even read to my pets my stories or other stories just for fun! I have a fenced yard, and currently have two puppies (about 1 year) that are staying for now. We have a dog crate, so I can move them around as needed. We're hoping to get a puppy of our own again when these young ones move out. I do have vision and hearing issues, which can result in some trouble seeing or balance issues. I can handle big dogs, but smaller is naturally easier.

“Phoebe is such a wonderful person! She was very loving and conscientious with our two big dogs. She knew it was our first time away from our newer dog and she kept us updated regularly with messages & pics. We will definitely hire Phoebe again!”

About: What sets me apart is my 25+ years of hands-on experience caring for a wide range of pets—from playful puppies to senior dogs with special needs, as well as cats and bunnies. I don’t just “watch” pets—I truly understand their behaviors, routines, and emotional needs. I provide a safe, loving environment with a fenced yard, personalized care, and plenty of daily walks, treats, cuddles, and playtime. I’m also prepared to handle extra needs like crate training, light grooming, and senior care. Most importantly, I treat every pet like my own—giving them the attention, patience, and comfort they deserve while you’re away. 🐾 With over 25 years of hands-on pet care experience, I’ve lovingly cared for dogs of all ages—from energetic puppies to senior dogs with special needs—as well as cats and bunnies. I provide daily walks, treats, cuddles, and playtime, and treat every pet like family. 🐾 I offer a secure fenced yard for safe roaming, a heavy-duty crate available upon request, and a variety of pet-safe toys and treats. If your fur baby needs a bath or light grooming, I’m equipped with hygiene supplies, brushes, and combs to keep them clean and comfortable. 🐾

“Communicated well. She took great care of our boys and sent me lots of pictures during the drop in visit. Would book with her again!”

“Kailee stopped by a couple times to care for our dogs while we were away. She followed our instructions perfectly and sent photo updates. Thanks, Kailee!”

About: I’ve had all sorts of pets growing up but I have the most experience with dogs and cats. I’ve been around many different dogs with all sorts of training and personalities. I have two dogs that we got when they were puppies and I helped train them. I taught them all sorts of things like the basics but also secret hand shakes and hand signals. I currently work full time and my hours vary. Sometimes I am available any time after 3 pm or any time before 12 am. But my schedule is completely free on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I care for pets by sticking to their feeding schedule, spread out times of play/interaction, walks, grooming, bathing, and light training. I do think it’s very important to make sure dogs are socialized with people and other dogs if able to. And for cats i know it is especially important to have activities for them or interactive play time to decrease the chance of boredom.

“Ellie is amazing with my pups! She juggles my energetic puppy and adult dog like a pro. She always sends so many pictures too, which I love because I can see how truly happy my dogs are in her care.”
