“Maura was a wonderful house/animal sitter. She gave us updates with pictures throughout our weeklong vacation & left our home in pristine condition. It’s always hard to leave your “babies” behind but having Maura there really gave us a sense of relief. We would highly recommend her and have already booked with her again!”
“Tatum was absolutely amazing! Last minute booking that saved our vacation! The updates through out the day and pictures where reassuring things were going well! Maverick enjoyed her company. Would love to use her again!”
“Elisa was so very wonderful with the boys. I received many pictures throughout my trip encouraging me to know that they were very well taken care of and loved, just as I would do if I was home. I will definitely be calling her again when I need some good spoiling for the boys.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I could remember growing up. And now more recently I’ve started watching family and friends animals as well while they’re gone on short trips I love visiting them and playing with them when I get there! Im currently working part time so I plenty of time to make sure your fur babies are taken care of. During the week is more better for me but I am flexible to do weekends sometimes as well! Since I have a full house I would prefer to come to you. I love to go for walks and play outside with my dogs or when I’m watching someone else’s and I make sure I keep them on the same feeding schedule.
About: I've had pets my whole life, being able to care for a variety of dog breeds/types. During my time at Wittenberg University, I fostered and cared for a service dog in training, raising the puppy from birth to trying to complete the program. This included grooming, cooperative care, daily care, socialization, and training. I also dogsat for others in the program regularly - providing weekly and overnight care which included grooming, feeding, walking, and socialization. I am currently unemployed, being able to provide care for your dog 24/7. Dog care is imbedded into my routine with my Golden Retriever - so adding a new furbaby will be second nature! I have a large backyard that will be getting fenced soon. We also have a friendly golden retriever who loves ALL dogs! We have a crate in our home that isn't used by our dog, so we are able to house overnight.
“Alana did a great job. My greyhounds can be intimidating at 90 and 120 lbs. but she handled them beautifully. No problems even with storms. She gave lots of updates. No problems staying at the house. Definitely will call her again!”
“Haley was really great and communicative with us! I could tell our pets were cared for and she took care our house while we were away. We will definitely be repeat clients for our next venture if she'll keep having us!”
About: There’s never been a time in my life without animals in the home! From a young age, I helped care for our dogs—feeding them (we even cooked their meals from scratch!), playing, and giving them lots of love. I have vivid memories of spending hours bonding with them as a child. Over the years, I’ve also helped friends and family care for their pets while they were away. I’ve looked after senior dogs and have experience giving medication when needed. My calm, nurturing nature helps animals feel safe and comfortable, whether they’re shy, playful, or in their golden years. I’m currently visiting home for the summer, I will be available until the 30th of July. My schedule is flexible as I’m not working right now. You know your pet better than anyone — you’re the boss! I’m happy to follow any instructions or stick to a strict routine to make sure your fur baby stays happy and comfortable. Please provide a strong description of your pets personality, as it will help me adapt quickly and build trust. I’ll always keep you updated with messages and photos so you can see just how happy your baby is while you’re away!
“Sydnee was a great house/dog sitter for my 2 dogs and my parent’s elderly dog. She gave many updates and sent lots of pics. It was a relief to know my dogs were getting lots of love and being spoiled and knowing my parents elderly dog was getting the care he needed. Can’t wait to have Sydnee come back! Thank you so much!!”
“Aliece took care of our two pups for a week in our home and was communicative, professional, and kind. We felt so good knowing that the doggos were in good hands and appreciated her regular updates!”
“Aaliyah is an absolute all-star! As one of those dog moms who views her pups like her children, I had full trust in Aaliyah. She is kind, considerate, respectful, communicative and responsible. She also took care of our home during her overnight stay and we felt such relief knowing it was in good hands. Nick and Nina loved her! We will definitely be booking with Aaliyah again!”
“Livia did an amazing job watching my two dogs at our house over the weekend. Their ease and contentment were visible in the pictures she sent - I could tell they loved and were comfortable around her. She is a true dog person, and is responsive, reliable, and caring. Thank you for putting our minds at ease while we were away!!”
About: My first pet was an adorable yellow Labrador named Buddy. He grew my love for animals and I have always had a pet since! I rescued my first cat, Patches, 16 years ago when he stumbled onto our front porch. He is an indoor/outdoor cat and is a senior cat, so I have a wide range of experience with all kinds of pet care needs. My second cat, Finn, who is 9 years old required daily medicine, so I can attend to a wide variety of pet care needs. I am flexible and willing to work with you to find the best solution for your lovely pet! I’m currently working full-time from 8-5, with a one hour lunch break I can take anytime. I work from home on Tuesdays, so I am available all day. I am available any night for overnight stays and I am happy to discuss my schedule with you to see how I can help meet your needs. I have two friendly cats that get along with all kinds of fur babies. I can crate your dog, let them outside in your yard, or meet any other at-home care requirements you have.
About: I’ve owned cats and dogs from a very young age. I currently have bandit and bean. I am a new mom so I have plenty of time to take care of my sweet girl and any fur babies that need loving I’m a new mom so I only work Mondays and Thursday afternoons currently from 5-7. I have plenty of time during the day for any activities. Ever since I was a little girl my dream was to own a pet sanctuary I have two crates at home if needed, I have a nice spacious yard with a tie out and plenty of space to play and get energy out.
About: I was a veterinary assistant for 3 years and before that I did part time pet care gigs. I’m very knowledgeable in preventative care as well as have some experience in dog training as well. Currently available most days. Weekends are typically open availability. If you have time constraints feel free to message me and we may be able to work something out. I DO NOT DO OVERNIGHT STAYS! I currently do not offer boarding, however, when it comes to safety with your pets it’s my first priority. I ensure there is very little space for escape when opening the door for all pets and to lock cages and doors before exiting the home.

“Erin is a respectable young lady who is responsible and caring. I left my two cats in her care while I was on a work trip, and she was amazing. In particular, she provided my youngest cat, Victor, with his medication after he had an asthma attack. Keep in mind, that the medication is an inhaler. It's no easy feat.”
