About: I grew up with three dogs in the house! They were my wonderful furry siblings for 18 years and taught me how to care for them at all stages of their lives. I am comfortable caring for puppies and senior dogs. I have been pet sitting off and on since childhood for a variety of animals including cats, fish, rodents, reptiles, chickens, goats and a pig! Any additional pets won’t scare me off! If you would like some basic training or training up-keep, I am happy to do so. I can’t wait to meet your furry friends! I currently work at a day job and can only offer Fridays and Saturday mornings for walks and drop-ins. I would love to open up my availability to include more days of the week if I can schedule enough pets to support myself on those days. In my home, we have a large, fenced property where your dog would get to spend a fun day outdoors with supervision. The yard is a mix of dirt and grass with plenty of shaded area for rest. If I come to your property, I will follow set rules and schedules. I can clean up after your pet, make sure they have water and food, and administer medication if needed. My walks are typically 15-20 minutes and drop ins are 30-45 minutes.

“Kimberly stayed at our house with our cat for 5 days and was AMAZING! Very responsive, we got tons of pictures, and our cat loved her so much that she has been sleeping in the guest bedroom where Kimberly stayed instead of her usual spots, haha. Will definitely have Kimberly cat sit again for us. Thank you, Kimberly!”


“Marie did a fantastic job taking care of our kittens. She sent us adorable photos and videos throughout the day, kept us updated on how they were doing, and was extremely communicative! She lived in our apartment for a week and the place was perfectly clean and taken care of as well. Couldn’t recommend Marie more!”


About: I grew up with both a dog and a cat, and over the years I’ve cared for many pets belonging to friends and family. I’m especially fascinated by dog behavior and have a knack for building strong, trusting connections with pups of all kinds. I’m available for house sitting on the weekends, Friday or Monday can be negotiated ahead of time. During weekdays, I’m available for walks and drop-in visits mostly in the afternoon. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or my client’s, I always aim to create a safe, calm, and loving environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special needs—so they feel as comfortable and happy as possible. I also make sure to keep things clean, respect the home, and send updates and photos so you can see how your furry friend is doing!

About: I have spent my entire life around all animals you can imagine from chinchillas to birds. I have owned and cared for dogs and cats and horses for over 10 years and am passionate in providing the best care possible for these animals. I have exercised and cared for owners horses while they are out of town for 5 years, and am experienced in pet sitting overnight. I am extremely dependable, and will Always show up to each job on time . I can provide your dogs with the best care possible while you are gone. I would love the opportunity to meet and care for your babies. I will always make sure to treat your animals just as I would treat my very own. I am currently in school for my MBA (online) and working with horses part-time so I will have lots of time to care for your animals! I live in a very walkable neighborhood close to great walking trails! I am more than happy to accommodate any special requests for specific care instructions in your home.

“Gracie does regular drops in for my fur baby and is always on time and leaves great summaries of their visits! She’s been professional, flexible, and reliable. Highly recommend! 💛”


About: I've owned multiple breeds of dogs from overly energetic Jack Russels, to water-loving Huskies, to lap cuddling Maltese. I am excellent with dogs and would love to spend time with your fur baby. My specialty is tiring out active medium to large breed dogs, however I'm happy to tone it down to a stroll for your elderly or pocket-sized pup. Positive affirmations and personalized attention are a given as well! I am also a big gardener and am able to water and maintain your garden/indoor plants while you’re away as well. I have experience with caring for disabled dogs and for managing aggressive behaviors in dogs as well. I have full open availability for walks, dog park play sessions, hikes, beach outings and overnight stays. My dog can tag along or stay home depending on your preferences. I will treat your dog with as much care and love as I do my own girl, Chloe. It is a scary and daunting process to find and trust a pet sitter which I understand first-hand. I can assure you I am obsessed with dogs and would be honored to spend time with your fur babies.

About: Hi! I’m Megan, and I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I grew up with dogs of all sizes, so I’m confident handling everything from playful puppies to mellow seniors. I’m happy to help with walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of love! I’m patient, responsible, and understand dog body language, so your pup will feel safe and cared for. You can count on me to treat your dog like family! I work full-time from home but have plenty of flexibility to care for pets. I’m available for dog walks after work or during breaks throughout the day. Your pet will get plenty of attention and care worked right into my daily routine! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always respect their space and routines. I take the time to understand your pet’s needs, energy level, and any special instructions you provide. I double-check doors, gates, and food/water to ensure your pet is safe and comfortable at all times. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in, or just some quality time, I treat every pet like my own — with love, patience, and attention to detail.

“Alyssa was great with my cat and handled unforeseen circumstances (ie. A hairball and ants in the food) with ease! Will definitely be re-booking with her in the future.”


“Leslie was fantastic, and took great care of my 16-year-old kitty. She was extremely reliable, and was a great communicator, providing updates and photos of her time with my fur baby. I will definitely be using Leslie again :)”


About: I have taken care of dogs pretty much my entire life! I grew up with 2 dogs - a husky and a springer spaniel. I now own my own pup named Ziggy! He’s a golden retriever and the love of my life. I love all pets and can’t wait to meet yours! I am currently between jobs, I usually work as an RN so I have plenty of time to care for your animals whether it’s a drop in, walk, or pet sit in your home or mine. I will never leave a pet alone for long periods of time. Having my own dogs I am aware of the attention, love, and excercise they require!

“Casey was amazing!!! Excellent communication the whole time! I was only worried my cat would want to go home with her at the end of it! 100% would book again!”


About: Intuitive dog caretaker. Your pup's needs are my number one priority. I adapt to your fur baby's needs. When they want a long walk, I'm their guide. When they want extra belly rubs, I've got lots of love to give. I understand how tough it can be to trust someone with your dog. The good news is that dogs recognize "dog people." I'll make your dog feel comfortable and ensure every need is met. I'm a freelancer and work from home, so my schedule is very flexible. I can accommodate almost any schedule, and I'm usually available at a moment's notice if needed. For pet sitting, I offer services in the client's home. I feel like this is the best arrangement for the pup. They get to stay in their familiar environment, and they know they're at home. Maybe it's irrational, but I worry about how a dog will feel when they're left at someone else's house, especially if it's not something they're used to. When I stay at a client's home, the client can feel confident that their home and pet will be treated with the utmost care. I respect property and take care of any pet as if they were my own. I sympathize with the stress an animal may feel when their pack is somewhere else, so I do everything possible to ensure the pet is happy in your absence.

“Roxanne took great care of our cat. We came back to a happy kitty and enjoyed the updates every day. She is very nice and easy to coordinate with. We highly recommend her.”



About: I started caring for dogs and cats when I was eight years old and have been dedicated to their love and care ever since. I have always been in awe of the special bond and unique understanding that can form between us and these beings who aren't even of the same species. Nurturing this bond by creating a safe and loving environment for the animals and their humans is my absolute priority. I have worked with dogs and cats of all types and temperaments, and am adept at administering medications and following any personalized instructions and care that members of your fur family might need. I also have experience with positive behavioral modification training techniques that rewards good behaviors rather than punishes bad ones. At home, we have two wonderfully unique rescue dogs, Jasper and Wyatt, who have been integral members of our family for the past seven years. I currently work from home in the finance/investment industry, and am blessed to have the freedom to set my own hours and work schedule, so I can give your pets all the attention and care that is needed for them to thrive. I will carefully follow any and all instructions needed for the care of your animal(s), and am able to take them on walks, play-dates, and vet appointments, as well as administer medications and seamlessly follow any training techniques you already practice. Because of my flexible and work-from-home schedule, I am able to give as much attention as needed and more to make sure everyone is happy and well-cared for!

Our family fully trusts Adam with our beloved dogs.”
