Melissa was an absolute dream to work with for my two standard poodles! She stayed at my house while I was away, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. When I came home, the house actually looked better than when I left it — everything was neat, clean, and in perfect order. She sent wonderful photos and updates throughout the trip, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing my pups were happy and well cared for. I came home to happy, relaxed, well-exercised dogs who clearly adored her. This was hands-down the best pet sitting experience I’ve ever had. I will definitely be using Melissa again for future trips! Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

About: I can accommodate your pets needs. My home is ideally suited for pets–a spacious, fully-fenced backyard for dogs to run around safely, I will maintain a calming presence with your dog. Walking/ running, fetch the ball are some outdoor activities to strengthen the bond with your dog. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I have a dog and have kept dogs for others. I take our dog out for walks and play-time with other dogs in the neighborhood . Diesel is very friendly, energetic and loving. My house has a large fenced yard. It’s not my practice to crate dogs. However, I can crate your dog if requested. I provide dog beds and allow dogs to move about freely. No one else will be assisting me with caring for your dog.

Family and friends have always been able to rely on me when it comes to caring for their pets. My schedule is fairly flexible and can easily be adapted to their needs. While I usually require at least 24 hr notice for a booking, I am willing to accommodate you in the case of an emergency if I am able.For those who live within a 10 mile radius of me, I shall waive the pickup fee. Generally I follow whatever instructions are left and then add in a few enrichment activities.

I make sure that strangers do not attempt to pet my clients; this is for everyone’s safety the dog’s included.

Grace did a fantastic and professional job house and dog sitting for us. She was able to help us with a last minute request and did so well with our dog. She had awesome communication with details and pictures. She was also extremely prompt with responses and kept beautiful care of the home. We initially thought our dog would be okay left alone, but when those needs changed Grace didn’t mind a bit. We will absolutely be using her again in the future and cannot recommend her enough.

About: I have over 15 years of dedicated pet care experience, I've consistently provided loving and responsible care for dogs of all sizes and breeds. My background includes daily walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medication administration, and ensuring a comfortable environment for furry friends. My passion for animals shines through in my attentive care, regular updates, and commitment to maintaining open communication with pet parents. I somewhat recently lost my last furry family member to lymphoma. I’ve yet to get another one as it is difficult losing our furry family member. I would take them out first thing in the mornings, if they didn’t wake us up earlier to go outside. Then give them their breakfast and play/cuddle with them.

About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for my own dog, including daily walks, feeding schedules, grooming, and maintaining a consistent routine. I understand the importance of patience, clear communication, and providing a safe, structured environment! 😊 I am comfortable with dogs of different sizes and temperaments, including younger puppies who may still be in training or that may have accidents. I am patient, attentive, and understand that consistency is key when working with younger dogs. I prioritize reliability, cleanliness, and carefully following all owner instructions to ensure each dog feels safe and comfortable!🐶🐾 I work full-time in the restaurant industry, so my weekday availability varies. I am generally available before 10:30 AM and after work hours, on mornings-only shifts, I typically get off by 4 PM, and on double shifts, availability may start later in the evening. Weekends I am fully available from morning until night, and occasionally I have spontaneous days off that I can dedicate to dog care. I always communicate my exact availability in advance. I provide attentive and loving care for pets in their own homes, including drop-in visits, daytime sitting, and walks. I follow all owner instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, and playtime routines. I make sure dogs feel safe, comfortable, and happy while keeping their environment clean and secure. On walks, I prioritize safety and exercise suited to each dog’s energy level. My goal is to provide consistent, reliable care so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.

I have a fenced backyard and my own socialized and friendly dog of my own. Also have a basement, if privacy concerns arise. Thank you.

About: Hi! I’m Amy, and I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years. What started as helping friends and family has grown into something I truly love—providing reliable, compassionate care for pets of all kinds. I have experience with a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, horses, reptiles, rabbits, goats, and more. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or extended pet sitting, I’m comfortable adapting to each animal’s unique personality, needs, and routine. For dog walking, I’ve been doing it consistently for the past 2 years and understand how important exercise, structure, and safety are. I always make sure your dog gets the attention, activity, and care they deserve. I treat every animal as if they were my own and prioritize keeping them happy, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pets are in good hands. If you’re looking for someone experienced, dependable, and truly passionate about animals—I’d love to help care for your pets! I am currently working from home and most of the time my schedule is flexible, so my weekends and most of the week is open for whatever your pets may need! We have 3 acres of property so lots of room to run around however our yard is not fenced in. We have four dogs and two of them would be more than happy to be a playmate if needed!

Nina was a lifesaver! After our previously scheduled sitter didn't show, Nina came to the rescue and took wonderful care of Bear and Sunny as well as our home! She communicated with us daily, we loved the videos and photos. It made us feel connected while away! Nina allowed us worryfree time away from home.

Shantae was a tentative on time and really took great care of our two year-old and six month old puppy. Our puppy had no accidents either in the house with her which is amazing while she still is still potty training. Shantae was able to look out for the signs to help her continuously be successful in potty training. If you’re looking for someone who will take care and treat your fur babies like royalty.
