“Kayla was great with my rambunctious Dalmatian! She ensured to tire her out each walk. I received several photos and a detailed description each time. She even asked before treating my pup to a pup cup, which I thought was very thoughtful. I would definitely use her in the future!”


About: I am an all around animal lover who is looking forward to taking care of your furry companion. As someone who has lived with dogs for their entire life, I know what your pet means to you and I am fully capable of providing for their needs whenever you are not around. With me, not only would I be providing them with the essentials (food, water, etc.) but I would make sure to ensure their comfort since I know how much they'll miss you (and vice versa). I am currently working part time at a local business but spend the majority of time at home. I am available most hours of the day to compassionately care for your pet! I have a fenced-in yard with two friendly dogs with plenty of space for privacy for any nervous pets visiting. We have 1 large and 1 small crate that we can easily use if your dog prefers a safe, closed-in environment. Pets are also welcome on all our furniture, I just request a fore-warning if your companion is a chewer so I know to take extra care keeping an eye on them. :) If you prefer me to come to your home to care for your pet, I would love to schedule a day to visit your home ahead of time and you can teach me their routine so I can keep them as comfortable as possible. :)

“Sarah was really friendly to meet and great at communicating when we were away. She sent us pictures of the pets. We felt good that someone was dropping by the house while we were gone. Additionally, we loved that our dogs were getting worn out so they didn't focus their energies on the couch! I will most definitely be contacting Sarah again when we travel.”


About: I’m certified in Pet First Aid and Dog & Cat CPR.⛑️ I’ve taken care of dogs of every breed, size & age since I was 8! You can expect your pups to be played with, loved on and snuggled by me and my daughter! When you come to pick them up they’ll want to come back for more sleepovers with me! I’ll wake up take your dog out to potty and feed them breakfast (if that’s on their schedule). Periodically we’ll do spurts of 15 minute play sessions! My long outside okay sessions are usually once in the morning and once in the afternoon . After awhile and when they are worn out they’ll enjoy LOTS of snuggles and treats to finish out the evening. I have a HUGE fenced in yard that has a backyard camera as well so even if I Can’t see them my camera will. I have dog kennels as well that are here if needed. Like if they do best in a kennels when I’m gone. As well as if they prefer to be in a kennel at night!

About: I've had all sorts of pets growing up. I do have medical training and can handle difficult situations. I currently have two dogs that are rescues and a cat that was abandoned at one day old that I hand raised. My younger dog has an autoimmune disease so I am well practiced on giving medications. Thank you. I can schedule my own hours at my job so I'm pretty flexible on when I can be available. I am available weekends usually with no problems. I am unable to bring animals to my home due to renting. I am able to house sit or walk dogs only at this time.

About: I have been a dog owner for 3 years. I grew up with many dogs and cats in my home. I have been responsible for the dogs and cats of my family and friends. I am currently on summer break and I am available all day Monday-Friday to check in on dogs and cats, and walk dogs. I am available between the times of normal meal times. I care for pets in their own home by making sure they have plenty of food and water available and providing them with toys provided for them.

About: I have loved animals my whole life. I have 3 dogs I’ve raised since they were puppies and they’re currently 10 11 and 12! I also have my cat and have had to help him through a lot of medical issues. I currently work park time mostly on weekend so I’m available to walk your dog or care for your furry friends during the week mornings to afternoons I only had one cat so I don’t need a lot of space. I live in an apartment so I don’t need a lot of room and I only am looking to do dog walking but could watch a pet if needed!

About: When help is needed and you have to be away from your pet family, my wife and I can provide the love and attention they are used to receiving and keep them close to a routine that has made them feel secure. I have a special compassion for animals. We have created a home where both dogs and cats do very well together. We have had several pets, training them as pups and kittens, and caring for them as elderly pets. We had a poodle who lived to 18; Maltese dogs who were 16, and Baxter, our Havanese was 16. Our Boxer Gryffin was 13. That shows love and care and we are so fortunate to have had the love of these precious pets. Every visit I will provide fresh water, food as required, play time, and some quiet petting and conversation time. My pets always love being talked to and getting special treats. I will make sure they feel loved even by a new friend. My wife and I both retired from our careers and run a small business from our home, so I have a lot of availability. Attention is what your pet will get. I can make home visits, provide housesitting, or board your pet at our home. When you book us, it is not to have your dog crated all day or put in a room since we are home with them almost all the time. I have a large fenced yard that gives them a lot of space to run, play, or just spread out for some snoop-time! We will always give supervised play time together. I can take your baby for a walk if you would like, or crate the pup for alone time if he or she likes that. I will follow your directions and do my best to make them feel they are getting as much of their comforting routine as possible. We manage a small business from our home. This allows us to fit your schedule into our schedule. We can make it work for you!. Pets are allowed to enjoy the space and comfort of our home and with open access to fresh water and food as needed. Keeping your pet happy is our goal.

About: Very Flexible Schedule! I love every animal like they are my own! I would love to care for your animal, you would not be disappointed! I have animals (1 cat and 2 dogs) at home, so I,m always in pet care mode! Always on my toes, making sure my babies are safe and okay! I always make sure that the animals have food and water. (if your dog is on a feeding schedule then thats fine!) I will always take your dog(s) on a daily walk, and have some outside time!! I of course love to play with the doggos, and tire them out!

About: I’ve got a house full of pets myself (dogs and cats), so I know how much peace of mind it brings to have someone trustworthy looking after your furry family. Whether your pet is full of zoomies or just wants a cuddle buddy, I’ve got you covered. I’m super easygoing, responsible with animals, and happy to follow whatever routine your pet is used to. I’ll treat them like one of my own — with lots of love, attention, and treats (if allowed, of course). I also love sending photo updates, so you’ll never feel too far away. Let me know what your pet needs.. I’m here to help. I work part-time over the weekends, so I’m available anytime during the weekdays. If an emergency comes up and you need a sitter last minute, I can respond to overnight requests and help out when needed. I’m very flexible and will do my best to accommodate both your and your pet’s needs, ensuring you feel confident and at ease.

About: DOG CPR CERTIFIED. I have owned and been around dogs my entire life! They are a defining part of me as I have experience with many dog breeds of all ages.

If you have any questions about my availability please feel free to reach out! I have a large fenced in back yard that your dog can enjoy if you please. I do have my personal dogs at my house but they will not come in contact with your dog. I am a student during the week, and I work mornings on the weekends. So my availability is mainly during the evenings. If you have any questions please reach out! I have a large fenced yard where your dogs are able to roam around if you so please. I also live across the street from a park so we can go on walks as well.

About: I’ve taken care of many kinds of pups since I was 10 years old. Family members often reach out for me to watch/walk their furry friends. I work during the week at the hospital, but love any excuse to get out on the weekend and hangout with some new furry friends! I understand that each pet is different, and some may take some time getting used to new faces, so with that in mind I’ll try my best to make each pup as comfortable as possible, I won’t rush them into anything. I want to make each walk a fun experience for them!

Cheryl L.
“Hi I'm Brennan S. Cheryl is a co-worker and our pet-sitter confidant. She has been watching our animals for the past 4 years for when we go on vacation or have an emergency. My wife is a certified cat breeder (Maine coons) so we don't just let anyone watch our animals because if anything were to happen, we would be out a lot of money. The main thing that we love about Cheryl is how attentive she is with her care. She just doesn't show up to feed and water them. She sticks around and takes time to play with them and attends to all of their needs. I recall one time, we had just had a litter 2 weeks before vacation. While she was taking care of them she noticed that the momma cat wasn't allowing the babies to feed for very long. So Cheryl went to the store and got formula and individually fed the 5 baby kittens. We strongly recommend her to anyone that is in need a caregiver for their fur babies. You will not be disappointed!”
