“Tenay was absolutely amazing! She is knowledgeable and a TRUE lover of animals! It was love at first sight for my baby. He completely forgot that I was in the room...and I loved it! She communicated well, was prompt and went above and beyond. I will definitely use her consistently and would recommend her to anyone.”


“Michele was great! She took excellent care of our cats and our home. She even refreshed the food for our hermit crabs. :) Will definitely book with her again if she's available!”


About: Senior care, puppy care. I can do both! Bonus, if your dog likes to run, so do I! Medications no problem, clipping nails, no problem. I work full time, so I’m available evenings, nights, and weekends. I can house sit certain nights, can do drop ins any day of the week. I have worked with a variety of species. I have no issues with reptiles, rodents, amphibians, cats, and dogs etc. I am passionate about animal care.

“Kaitlyn was AMAZING! She took care of our babies for a week and they were so comfortable it was as if we never left. She took care of our home and gave updates and pictures. I have zero reservations about hiring her for every future pet sitting need.”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs of multiple ages and sizes. I follow schedules to a tee, feeding amounts, treat allowance, etc. I even have a friend on call who works in a veterinary office if ever needed. I currently work full-time Monday-Friday from 9:00am-4:00pm. I don’t work weekends unless necessary, but not often. I would let you know ahead of time or not accept on those weekends. I usually spend my free time doing school. I will follow your schedule to exactly how you wish it be done. Including the usual wake-up and bedtimes that they’re adjusted to, so that they’re not getting off of their usual schedule with you.

About: I have had and been around dogs my whole life. Friends and family have relied on me many times to watch and care for the dogs. I will give your pet constant love and support throughout our time together. Dogs are my absolute favorite! I currently work multiple part time jobs that I set my own schedules for so I am usually available at anytime of the day with a little advance notice. Evenings and nights are almost always free. Safety and trust is so important to me and that is my top priority when caring for your pet/home. After that, my goal is to be the best friend your pet has! I will give them plenty of attention and play with them as much or little as they like. Happy dogs make me happy!

“Carson did a great job again watching our mini dachshund. She administered her medications daily at the proper time, and took her for daily short walks. Very reliable. Sent us daily pictures which helped a lot so we could enjoy ourselves while being gone. She also left our home very clean. Would highly recommend her.”


About: I’ve fallen in love with ALL animals since I was a kid. Since then i’ve watched all sizes and breeds of dogs with all sorts of different personalities and has loved every single moment of it! I am currently unemployed and looking to start into the pet care business. I can sit and board at all times and any days as needed. If allowed I would absolutely love to take them to a local dog park to socialize with more dogs. I also have one friendly kitten and one senior pup!

“Lena was wonderful. Our dogs were very well cared for and we received several pictures each day where they appeared to be very happy. She followed several directions for medications and different foods for each pet. She is highly recommended!”


“David stayed with our pets (cat and dog) for 3 weeks while we were overseas. Now, we’ve used David before (and had NO complaints), but let’s face it, 3 weeks is a long time and Australia is a long way away. David was fantastic. We received daily photos/updates and had zero concerns while away. We left lots of detailed info and ‘what if’ plans, and David’s only feedback was ‘I love lists’. He is always open to requests and specifics without complaint. We had a wonderful trip without the stress of wondering how our babies were faring. Highly recommend David for short and long-term sits. Thank you, David!”


“Everything we do is last minute, so last minute changes were made to add an earlier departure date at the last minute. Keona was available and flexible to watch our two for 8 days. She did a meet and greet before we left and you can tell she is a dog lover. Will definitely use her services again.”


About: I’ve pet sat for family members ever since I was a kid. As an adult, I’ve worked in veterinary clinics and at a day care facility. I’ve also stepped up as, what my mom has dubbed, a “doggie doula” to young mother with both her first and last litters. I helped her raise them from birth to six-eight weeks and found homes for each one, as well as rehomed one of the pups. Two of her pups (one from each litter) are now living with my family, Shego and Mochi. I also own one seniors and manage the care for all 3 of my dogs. I’ve adapted our home to be suitable and comfortable for my senior, while also having space for my 2 year old pups to play and cuddle and entertain themselves. I am available in the mornings and evenings! I work for a summer camp from 10am-4pm during the weekdays. I can visit or do walks from 6am-8am and 5pm-9pm. As I am currently housing 3 dogs, I am unavailable for pet sitting in my home. I am open to spending the day with your pup outside of your home (Dog Park, Petsmart, Petco, Car Rides). Prices may vary.

I have also helped care for horses and have had different types of pet reptiles growing up. Additionally, I have experience as a kennel worker at a local veterinarian clinic when I was a teenager. I would have to care for the animals being kenneled over the weekends at the vet clinic, by feeding and walking them twice a day.

I currently work as a nurse extern parttime at methodist hospital while I am in nursing school. My current pet family is made up of two cats, a bearded dragon, a frog, and a snake.

The shifts are not guaranteed, so I currently have lots of free time on my hands. that is until I start my 3rd semester of nursing school in late August I will care for pets in the client's home and respect their property as if it were my own. I will follow instructions that are given to me and be available if the client needs to make changes or has any questions/ concerns

About: I have experience providing reliable pet sitting and dog walking, making sure pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away.

My goal is to give every pet the same care and attention I would give my own. On my listed available days, I’m open from 6am until 7pm. On the days I didn’t list as available, I still am! From 6am until 12 pm, I didn’t have the option to adjust times by individual days lol. In my home, I make sure pets feel comfortable and safe by providing a clean, cozy environment with plenty of playtime, walks, and cuddles. I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, and any special instructions, so they feel right at home. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and routines, keeping pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I provide regular walks, playtime, and companionship, and I always give updates so owners have peace of mind while they’re away.
