“God/Goddess thank you for Katie & her hubby too. Quilly was so so happy in the pictures and when I came home. Incredibly trustworthy and friendly lady (neighborly too! ) to care for pup.”


“Liz met us at our campsite right on time and she immediately got along with our Catahoula, Annie. They were quick friends. Liz did a great job keeping her safe and entertained while me and my family attended a concert, and Annie was safe and relaxed when we got back to our site. Liz did great and I'll recommend her to anyone who needs help watching their fur baby for a few hours.”


“Janice deserves 10 stars at a minimum! She was absolutely wonderful with our dogs, Charlie and Delilah! She took great care of them, making sure they felt comfortable and loved during their stay. It was clear that she went above and beyond to keep them happy, healthy, and entertained. Both dogs were so well cared for, and we could tell they had a great time with Janice. She communicated with us regularly, sending updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind. We would highly recommend Janice to anyone looking for a caring and responsible pet sitter. Thank you so much, Janice!”


“Daniel is so lovely and took amazing care of our pets while we were away! Our high energy pups seemed so comfortable with him right away. From the first message he was so quick to respond and a great communicator — which is so important to me. Will absolutely book with him again!”



“Christine bailed us out at the last minute and totally saved us. She was just great, and I think our cats even decided they like her better than they like us. Couldn't be happier that we have made this connection.”


“Sally is amazing! She took great care of our dog and two cats - she clearly loves animals. Additionally, she did a wonderful job looking after our home. She left everything looking tidy, and went the extra mile by washing sheets and towels before she left. She also left good notes about how it all went. She made the weekend easy and stress free! And she sent wonderful photos, too. This was our first time having her in our home and I would have her back in a second. A+ petsitter!”


“Katherine made us feel at ease leaving our dog for the weekend. She sent lots of pictures and check-ins which we really appreciated, and highly recommend her. After a long weekend we came back to a very happy boy.”


About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life and began attending dog training sessions with my parents when I was just six years old. From age 6 to 16, I learned more than just commands—I learned how to connect with dogs, understand their behavior, and earn their trust. My mom always believed it was important to understand how dogs think, and that’s shaped how I care for animals today. Now, I share my home with Gracie, my sweet golden retriever, and two lovable female cats. Living with both dogs and cats has taught me how to balance different personalities and routines, and I love every minute of it. Over the years, I’ve dog-sat for friends and truly enjoy caring for all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pup is playful, shy, high-energy, or a senior in need of some extra TLC, I’ll be there with patience, respect, and lots of love. I genuinely believe dogs are better than people—so your pet will be treated like family while you're away. I'm comfortable with all breeds, offer dog walking and overnight stays, and will keep you updated with regular photos and messages for peace of mind. During the week, I work Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, but I’m completely open on weekends and available on all major holidays. Whether you’re headed out of town or just need someone to stop in and give your pup a walk or cuddle, I’ve got you covered. I have a fully fenced-in backyard for safe outdoor play, but I never leave any dog unattended outside—supervision is always a must, even in a secure space. I believe in providing a safe, structured, and loving environment for every pet in my care. I share my home with my golden retriever, Gracie, who is super friendly and loves making new doggy friends. I also have two sweet female cats. All of my pets are spayed/neutered, fully vaccinated, and used to sharing their space calmly and respectfully. Whether your dog is staying for a visit or just dropping by for playtime, you can feel confident knowing they’ll be safe, supervised, and treated like part of the family.


“We are so grateful to have found Kelly and Nabil! They are incredibly attentive, caring, and down to earth. We are already planning another trip knowing our dog will have such amazing care.”


About: Hi y'all! I am an all around animal lover. My girls and I take any dogs that we are watching on walks with us every night, we have lots of fun. Pets are allowed on the furniture, unless you state explicitly state you don't want them to be. I prefer not to kennel overnight, but there are always exceptions to the rule! I am able to help with puppies and older pups alike; age is not an issue. Please ask any questions you may have for me, thank you so much we can’t wait to meet you! I am currently working part time but I am always available for nightly drop ins or for any early morning stops on my way in. I am always respectful of your safety protocols, gates are always double and triple checked, doors are always checked to be shut correctly. Food and water levels are consistently monitored. Instructions are always followed to the letter.

About: What sets me apart is the level of care, presence, and attention I bring to every pet I look after. As a stay-at-home mom, I have the flexibility and availability to give pets consistent companionship and supervision throughout the day. I understand how important routines, comfort, and trust are—especially when someone else is caring for a beloved pet. I’m naturally nurturing, detail-oriented, and communicative, which means you’ll always know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. I treat every pet like part of the family, because to me, they truly are. I’m a stay at home mom of 2 wonderful animal adoring children. Because I’m home throughout the day, your pet will get plenty of attention, playtime, and care. During their stay, your pet will experience all the best parts of our family just as if they were our own. When caring for your pets in a clients home, I do my best to adhere to all routines and schedules so the pets can feel as comfortable as possible. I will respect your home and keep everything clean, organized, and calm. I’m more than happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel comfortable and at ease while you’re away. My goal is to provide a loving and safe environment for you and your pet so you can rest assured knowing that they are being taken care of to your standards.

“Angela took great care of our three dogs while we were away for 10 days. They were all comfortable and relaxed with her. She’s gentle and patient and she even taught our littlest wild one some better manners. She sent regular updates and photos. We highly recommend her!”


“We reached out to Angie to house sit our two older pups while we were away for a week on a family trip. The dogs have never stayed with anyone outside of family and friends, so we were a little nervous, especially with one of our dogs having some anxiety. Because of this, we were trying to avoid any kennels. Angie was quick to respond to messages leading up to our departure and even offered to come meet the pups twice before our trip. She did not need to do this, but it meant a lot to us that she did. The dogs warmed up to her immediately. Angie is friendly, responsive, and caring. Our house was just as we had left it. She even cared for our small flock of chickens while we were away. We will be reaching out to Angie again and would recommend her to anyone who’s looking for help with their pets.”


About: I've had cats since I was born, enjoying their independent nature and strong persona. They are my favorite companion as I feel a strong bond with them. Volunteering at a few ASPCA, helped me to understand dogs with issues, taught me patience and compassion. I adopted my first "mut" from one of the shelter. Living with five Islandic Sheppard dogs on a horse farm offered me the opportunity to take care of puppies, which I enjoyed. I love hiking with dogs, either on leash, or off leash, as long as they are able to respond. Also, going for short trips allows time for connection and togetherness. I can administrate simple medications if necessary as I worked with a veterinarian in New York City for over a year, and have done so since for clients. Horses have a special place in my heart as I used to have a horse and horseback ride. Living on a horse farm for a couple of years, I took care of them as it was needed. I also worked with horses on film sets, witnessing their amazing gifts as natural de-stresser. Being a Free Lance Photographer and a Reiki Practitioner allows me to have a flexible schedule. I enjoy spending some quiet time or/and playful time with our companions, depending on their nature and needs. Respecting your companion's need is important to me, as well as respecting your space. l like to either talk via FaceTime or WhatsApp, or visit ( if your home is within a short distance) prior pet sitting to exchange details and informations. I will be reachable by phone or text message for updates, and will send you photographs of your friend(s) if wanted. I will ask you to leave your Veterinarian phone number, as well as an emergency contact. Overall, making sure that your companion(s) feel loved and secure while you are away is what I care for.

“Stacey was wonderful! She was so easy to communicate with ahead of watching our dog and was also super self sufficient around our house. There was a bad storm when she was scheduled to watch our dog and we live in a pretty remote area and she had zero complaints. She was fantastic all around!”


“Lucy was perfect for our high energy but attention loving dog. She was respectful of our home and had great communication. We will continue to use her when she is available.”


“Sky was wonderful with our pets! She took great care of our dogs, ferret & guinea pig! She sent pictures & videos throughout our time away which we so appreciated. Our dogs have tended to be vindictive when they’ve come home from boarding but they have been completely happy & relaxed. This is the first time that we’ve had someone stay in our house but definitely not the last!”


About: I’ve had 2 Golden retrievers. One passed away in my arms. I can train puppies. I can take care of older senior dogs too. Specialize in friendly dogs, but I can work with any dog with any personality. I’m looking to make pet care a full time purpose driven endeavor. Right now working part time so I’m available for pet sitting TH, FRIDAY, SAT & SUN. In my home I have a fenced yard and my 8 year old golden, buddy. If needed I can offer in home services but I prefer to go to clients home.

About: I'm available to provide the best care for all your furry (or fur-less), scaly, and or feathered friends. I understand that each pet has unique needs, from daily walks and belly rubs for dogs to creating the perfect habitat for reptiles and keeping your cat’s world enriched with toys and cuddles. I offer compassionate care tailored to your pet’s specific personality and requirements, ensuring they feel loved, safe, and happy while you're away. No matter the species, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family, with lots of attention, patience, and of course, treats! I'm currently working and going to school part-time, but feel free to reach out and I'll see what I can do to help you out! I always prefer to provide care in your home, and will treat your home, property and of course your pets with the upmost respect. In addition to caring for your pets, I am happy to bring in the mail or delivered packages, and provide other random services at your request as needed. I may be able to provide boarding care in my home with notice on a case by case basis provided your pet is house-trained and gets along well with my personal pets.

About: I have done petsitting for dogs and cats, and have both as pets myself. I love animals and I feel comfortable making sure they are well cared for, from food to walks to playing with them outside. I am reliable and really enjoy taking care of pets, so I am always on time and would never want to leave a pet alone for a long time. My schedule varies day to day and week to week. I am open to scheduling services ahead of time but am open to short notice as well! I am not currently offering care in my own home as my yard is not fenced in and my home is too small to allow more animals enough space.
