About: I have been walking dogs including my own as well as done plenty of dog sitting for up to 3 weeks at a time. I have been doing this on and off for about 15 years. I pride myself on being a dog person and being someone others can count on. I’d love to take your dog on a walk! I have open availability and keep myself flexible to fit into your pets routine. Times may be adjusted on days when it’s too hot or too cold. I walk dogs with patience, calmness, and understanding. I grew up with Australian Shepherds and currently own two Siberian Huskies, so I’m very experienced with energetic, intelligent, and strong-willed breeds. Safety is always a priority for me, and I stay aware of other dogs and surroundings during walks — I’m happy to cross the street or create space when needed to keep everyone comfortable and safe. I believe in positive, respectful handling. If your dog pulls, I won’t yell or punish them; instead, I’ll calmly stop and wait until they’re ready to continue. I also believe walks should be enjoyable and enriching, so your pup will have plenty of opportunities to sniff, explore, and enjoy all the exciting spots along the way. Every dog is different, and I’ll always be mindful of your dog’s individual abilities, energy level, personality, and needs to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for on our adventures together.
“Melanie was amazing!! This was my first time being away and having a sitter for the dogs and I was nervous; but Melanie was awesome. Sent pictures and updates on happenings. I felt at ease knowing she was checking in on them.”
About: I have always grown up with dogs in my family, from small to large! I love all dogs of any breeds, and any size. I am a very active person so I would love to take your pup for an easy walk or a good hike! I am currently employed full time 10-4. I am very flexible with my schedule, just let me know what works best for you and I will try my best to make it work! I grew up with many different breeds of dogs, from low energy to energetic, so I am excited to meet your pup! I can come straight to your pups needs directly from work! I’m flexible in my hours and will be open and honest about what times work best for us both. I know I am an unfamiliar face to your pet, so ensuring they’re comfortable in their own home is one of my main focuses. I can promise to keep your pet as safe as I would keep my own, you can never be too safe with the ones you love!!

About: I grew up with animals: dogs, cats, a rabbit, a guinea pig, birds, fish, a degu, and hamsters. I can’t imagine my life without animals. I currently have two large dogs, and our cat unfortunately passed away almost a year ago. I am trained in animal-assisted therapy because I deeply believe in the connection between humans and animals. I am currently on maternity leave, which allows me to have time during the day to take care of your animals. I can come with my baby during the day on weekdays if that doesn’t bother you, or without my baby on weekends. I take the time to give them treats, pet and cuddle them, while also making sure they seem to be doing well and are eating properly. I clean the litter boxes at each visit.
“Bree took amazing care of our cat. Fed and cared for him as well as sending some time with him so he wasn't lonely. Bree provided great care for our cat and was very kind and respectful. Wouldn't hesitate to book Bree again to take care of our cat.”
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet care professional, offering dog walking, in-home visits, and home sitting. I grew up surrounded by all kinds of animals—dogs, birds, amphibians, Guinea pigs, bunnies, and even the occasional wile rescue—so caring for pets is second nature to me. Over the years, I’ve helped with post-surgery recovery, administered medications, physio movement routines, and even bottle-fed newborn puppies, rodents, birds and kittens. Whether it’s a quick visit or an overnight stay, I treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away.❤️🐾 Let’s create a schedule that suits your needs. I can be available Mon-Sun at various times of day or evening, including weekly walks or drop-ins or holiday visits in your home. ❤️🐾 I adore pets and I will treat your fur baby with the same kindness, respect and fun-loving care that I offer my own. I can’t wait to meet them! ❤️🐾

I am so lucky to have found Karine and Sarah. They are the best sitters someone could ask for. My dogs are high energy and can be a bit of a handful to handle and I feel so confident leaving them in their care while I'm away. Thank you both for all that you do!
