About: What Sets Me Apart from Other Sitters? I treat every dog like they’re part of my family—because while you're away, they are. With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments, I specialize in providing personalized care that fits your dog’s unique needs. 🐶 Puppy Pro? Absolutely. I'm skilled in helping puppies stick to potty-training routines, basic commands, and gentle socialization. 🦴 Senior Dog Savvy. I have experience with senior pups who need a slower pace, medication management, mobility support, and lots of patient love. 🛏️ Stress-Free Environment. My home is calm, clean, and kennel-free (unless otherwise requested), with plenty of space for play, rest, and snuggles. 🏃‍♂️ Active & Engaging. Whether it’s daily walks, fetch in the yard, or mentally stimulating games, I keep your pup engaged and happy. 💬 Clear Communication. I send regular updates with photos, so you never feel far from your furry friend. Working from home allows me to give pets my full attention throughout the day—not just during breaks or after hours. I structure my workday around their needs, which means: 🐾 Morning Routine: We start the day with a walk or some playtime to burn off energy and set a calm tone. Midday Breaks: I take regular breaks to give them attention, bathroom breaks, or just some cuddle time—great for both of us! 🍽️ Meal & Medication Schedules: I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and on track. 🐶 Supervised Play & Rest: Whether they’re playing in a safe, fenced yard or napping nearby while I work, I’m always close by to supervise and ensure they’re happy and relaxed. 📸 Daily Updates: I take a few minutes each day to send you pictures or notes so you know how your pet’s doing. Because I’m home all day, your dog is never left alone for long—and that peace of mind is something I take pride in offering. 🐶 Supervised Play & Rest: Whether they’re playing in a safe, fenced yard or napping nearby while I work, I’m always close by to supervise and ensure they’re happy and relaxed.

Jamie did great with our two dogs while we were gone for a night, they’ve never really been apart from us so it was an ease of mind to know she was there to keep them in routine and give them good company.

Claire was the perfect sitter! She is professional and a great communicator. We were out of the country and felt completely at ease knowing she was with our two dogs. She kept in touch daily with updates and pictures. When we got home, we could tell the dogs (and our house) were well taken care of. She also proactively offered to stay longer, knowing a snow storm was on the way that may delay our travel. Would highly recommend her to anyone needing a long-term sitter.

Elizabeth did an excellent job with our 2 big dogs, for a 2-day out of town trip (on rather short notice). She kept us updated with videos, walked both of them and now has 2 new furry friends.

About: I’ve taken care of animals that aren’t mine regularly throughout my college career. I LOVE all animals and have plenty of experience with all kinds of breeds. I’ve stayed in homes for as long as two weeks and enjoyed every moment! I know my schedule for this summer already and have plenty of availability! Being new to the area I will be exploring different trails and will be more than happy to take your pups with! In my house the dogs are not allowed on the couches, but are allowed in the bed. Most clients I have had have similar rules for their animals. I LOVE sleeping with the pups!! They make the best cuddle buddies!

About: I have always found the company of animals to be my space of joy. The journey of my own dogs over the years makes me very experienced the needs and comforts needed for our furry friends. I’m confident in administering medication and there isn’t anything I wouldn’t do to provide comfort to your babies. Added bonus I am going back to school to receive my certification in being a veterinary assistant 😊 I have a flexible weekday schedule and am available most weekends. I have plenty of time during the week for dog walking and am usually up quite early. I have a fenced in yard and two energetic spaniels. I also live right next to two parks with plenty of paths for walkies. I do have an xtra large crate if your animal is more comfortable kenneled at night .

About: I have had at least one dog in my home since I was born. I currently have a puppy and he is a blast. I love going on walks, playing at the park, or even taking pups for a swim. I have also working in a boarding facility and in large group play classes. I currently work part time and I am home every night by 5 pm. I come home on all of my breaks to check on my animals daily. Animals would never be alone for more than 3 to 4 hours at a time. I have a very friendly puppy that loves making new friends and I have 3 cats that love to play. I do not have a fenced yard but I do have leads in the yard to allow dogs time to play outside, as well as extra harnesses and leashes to walk then every 2 to 4 hours. I do not like walking without a harness for the animlad safety and mine, I do have extra harnesses if needed.

About: I have taken care of different animals growing up dog sitting, and dog walking is what I normally did! I love going on walks with dogs combines my two favorite things, the outdoors and animals! I have two other jobs but don’t work full time, I usually have a couple days off. When I’m off i like to be outside and doing things! I help make the animals feel safe! I know how some animals can be with their parents gone and it can make them feel scared or abandoned. So being there with them and playing with them can help calm that sense of abandonment!

About: I’m the kind of person people trust with the important stuff. I’m patient, reliable, and experienced with different personalities and routines—including administering medication when needed. I focus on keeping everything calm, safe, and stress-free while you’re away, and I’ll always keep you updated so you can feel at ease. I work until 4 PM most days, with some flexibility to get off early depending on my schedule. That means I’m available for afternoon, evening, and weekend care!

I provide a calm, loving environment where pets get plenty of attention, supervision, and care. I’m experienced with both cats and dogs and can follow any specific routines, feeding schedules, or medication instructions you provide. I pay close attention to behavior and body language to make sure every pet feels safe and comfortable. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel secure, happy, and well cared for at all times.
