“Great service. He was prompt and extremely helpful. Did extra little tasks like bringing in the trash and watering plants … appreciated that a lot. Always sent pictures of our doggies.. The dogs loved him. Would highly recommend.”


“Meredith took care of dog when we were away. She came over for a meet and greet before hand which I really appreciate it. Meredith took lots of pictures, and made sure everything was taken care of before leaving. It was great to have someone who cared about our animals. I would definitely ask her to care for our dog again. Thank you!”


“Meghan was fantastic with my nervous Beagle! The updates she sent to me were detailed and the pictures precious! Meghan was prompt, followed all my instructions, and most importantly was so patient with my Jewels! I highly recommend Meghan and I certainly will be using her again!”


“Lauren did an excellent job at taking care of my 2 dachshunds while I was at work. My female is very shy and apprehensive. Some dog walkers in the have not been able to get her to go outside. Lauren had no problem. My male was born blind and deaf. He also has many health problems. She had no issues taking care of an elderly sick dog. I would recommend trusting your fur babies with her and I’ll certainly be using her again!”


“Sarah was very good at taking care of our cats, especially the old one that is on a special diet. She sent details of our cat’s health and routine diligently. I am going to contract her services in our next trip for sure! Thanks Sarah for taking care of our loved cat ladies!”


“I felt very comfortable having Terri do drop in visits to care for my cat. She checked in and gave updates with pictures each drop-in. My cat needed special care with antibiotics, which Terri could do no problem. My shy cat even let Terri pet her eventually, so I know my cats felt comfortable too. Thanks Terri!”


“Jake took phenomenal care of both mug pets while I was gone. He McAfee sure that Lark was getting all of her meds and made sure she was eating a she is sensitive to my absence. He was a hot to work with.”

About: I have worked at the pet shop in town for almost 4 years. I have learned a lot about nutrition and am here to help with that as well. I have always loved dogs & animals. I have 3 dogs now and use to have cats growing up. I have always helped family/ friends with their pets. My cousins would call me “ the dog whisperer” I am very patient and understanding- a dog sometimes is anxious just like us humans. I think taking time out of the day and using interactive toys is so important for stimulation and keeping them busy. I usually am off on sunday & tuesdays. I typically work in the morning until 3pm. Can do walks/feed them/ check in’s on the dogs after work and most likely before work. I have lots of grass outside & a gate inside.I would play with them outside, make sure they have a harness and a longer line ( so they are safe)& take them for walks. I can brush the dogs as well. I do prefer to stop at the clients house. I have 2 dogs at my house - it can be a lot. In the clients house I would first make sure the dog goes outside to the bathroom upon arrival. I would take them for a walk, play with the dogs outside( depending on the gate situation) Make sure they have lots of water, food & i can brush them.

About: I’ve spent years caring for my neighbors’ dogs and I love them to death. This is a great opportunity to hangout with and walk more dogs!!! I love dogs of all sizes (but I have a soft spot for the giant ones). I’m patient by nature, so I’m happy to work around your needs as well as your dog’s. I’m adaptable and will make sure I keep my word! Not doing what I say and will when I say I’ll do it makes me incredibly anxious, which is probably not great for my mental health but it makes me a good worker! I don’t have a job so really whenever works, I just need sufficient warning. This also means your pet will be my number one priority! I can walk your pet and feed them at your home or around your neighborhood! I can’t pick them up and take them anywhere, but I’ll make sure they have a good time.

“Vanessa was great! We did a meet and greet with Loki and right away she gave off a great vibe with him. Loki sensed a good person and wanted to play with her right away. She was punctual and I’m happy i reached out to her. I would 100% recommend to anyone. Thank you!!”


“Mark was great with our dog Moose while we were away in Europe! He was very thorough at the meet and greet, asking very good questions that I hadn’t thought of myself. During the week while we were away, he sent multiple pictures of Moose eating, playing and walking with Mark in our back field. Moose looked very happy in the photos and our landlords made sure to let us know how great of a job Mark did while we were away too! Very prompt with communication as well. Thank you, Mark for taking such good care of our fur baby while away!! We will definitely be using him again!”

About: Hi, I’m Kimberly! I was born an animal lover, and I’ve spent my life surrounded by all kinds of pets—from puppies and parrots to ponies and hedgehogs! Over the years, I’ve worked as a vet tech, kennel tech, dog breeder, handler, trainer and breed judge. I’ve also raised a family alongside a full house of animals, young and old, healthy and in need of extra care. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s who I am. I’ve helped nurse many pets back to health with patience, time, and love. I believe every animal deserves gentle, attentive care—especially when their humans are away. Let me be your pet’s loving caregiver and companion while you’re gone. I’ll treat them like family! ⸻ Why I love pet sitting I’ve loved animals my whole life! Pet sitting allows me to do what I love most—care for animals—while giving peace of mind to other pet parents. ⸻ Can I administer medication? Yes! I worked as a veterinary technician for 5 years and have experience with oral medications, injections, wouand care. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs early morning walks, midday playtime, or evening snuggles, I’m available to accommodate your routine. I’ll work with you to make sure your pet stays happy, comfortable, and on schedule while you’re away. There truly is no place like home, especially when it comes to our beloved pets. I wholeheartedly believe that animals find their greatest joy and sense of security within the warmth and familiarity of their own surroundings. That’s why I provide gentle, trustworthy in-home care designed to maintain your pet’s routine and minimize any stress they may feel. Whether it’s a nutritious meal, a refreshing walk, administering medication, or simply sharing some cuddle time, I promise to care for your pet with all the love and tenderness as if they were my own, right in the comfort of their cherished home.

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them comes as naturally to me as breathing. I’ve grown up with dogs since I was a kid and currently have two of my own—both well-behaved and trained beyond just basic obedience, including fun tricks to keep them engaged. My full-time job keeps me surrounded by dogs who come in and out of the office. I also have a deep understanding of senior dog care, puppy care and canine nutrition, ensuring every pup in my care gets the best possible attention. When I’m not working, you’ll likely find me hiking with my dogs or planning our next dog-friendly adventure. I don’t have human kids, but my dogs are my world, and I’ll treat yours like family too! I currently have a full time job that I work 4 days a week so I’m available 3 days a week - Tuesday, Friday and Saturday. I will abide by the owners preference on letting their dog out as I understand everyone has their own way of handling this. If their yard is fenced and a simple open the door and go - that’s a plus but more than happy to put the leash on and go around!

“Isabella is great! When she came for the initial meet & greet my dog was super comfortable with her right away. I’m looking forward to her help with my dog and cat through the summer.”

“Jordan was absolutely great! We were in need of some help rather last minute and she was very responsive and happy to help. It was clear from the photos, and when we got home, that our pup was very well taken care of. We will definitely be contacting her again as it is so nice to have someone in the area that you can trust.”
