“Colleen did an excellent job taking care of our 3 Beagle fur babies! Each pup has a unique personality and she gave them each the attention they needed. They all ate while we were gone which was shocking, usually they don’t. She shared lots of pics and kept us informed on their care! Highly recommend her!”

“Alicia is great! Winston loves her and she took great care of our house. Communication was amazing and I felt so comfortable with Winston in her care. We love her and we can’t wait to have her back!”

“Very professional, polite, and friendly. My animals all seemed happy when we got back from our vacay so I believe they were well cared for when we were gone. Christian was very responsive to inquiries and was helpful in bringing in packages that were delivered when we were gone. Highly recommend.”

About: With over 25 years of experience caring for animals, I bring a lifetime of love, patience, and hands-on knowledge to every pet I care for. From energetic puppies to gentle senior pets, I’ve nurtured animals through every stage of life. Our home is filled with kindness and activity—my three children have grown up around animals and share my deep love and respect for them. Whether your pet needs playful attention, a cozy cuddle, or a calm and reliable routine, you can trust that they’ll be treated like family in our care. As a homeschooling family, we have a flexible and consistent schedule that allows us to be home throughout the week. This makes it easy to provide attentive, reliable care for pets without the disruption of a traditional 9–5 job. Pet sitting fits naturally into our daily rhythm—whether it’s walking a dog, feeding and checking in on animals, or offering companionship and playtime, we’re available and present. My kids also enjoy helping (with supervision), adding extra love and attention to the care we provide. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where they can feel relaxed and loved. Whether they’re staying for a day or a week, I make sure they have plenty of playtime, exercise, and snuggles—along with any specific care or routines they’re used to. I follow feeding schedules, administer medications if needed, and keep owners updated with photos and messages so they know their pets are happy and well cared for.
About: I have gained hands-on experience through volunteering and training at animal shelters, where I provided care for dogs of all ages and activity levels. My responsibilities included feeding, walking, and administering basic care. In addition, I have worked as a vet assistant, assisting in medical procedures, providing post-care, and ensuring pets' well-being. This combination of shelter and veterinary experience has equipped me with the skills needed to care for a variety of pets and address their individual needs. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine and something I genuinely enjoy. I make sure pets are fed, walked, and given plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether it’s morning playtime, midday potty breaks, or evening cuddles, I always set aside time to make sure they’re happy and comfortable. On weekends, I love doing longer walks or fun activities like fetch in the yard. It’s not just a task—it’s something I look forward to because caring for animals makes my day better too! At home, I ensure pets have a comfortable and safe environment to enjoy both inside and outside. I have a fenced backyard where they can get some fresh air and have free playtime while staying within the security of the house environment. Inside, they have ample space to roam around freely and safely, giving them the chance to explore and relax. I keep a routine of providing regular exercise, play, and interaction to keep them happy and engaged.
About: I've cared for dogs of various breeds and sizes since I was 12 years old! Friends, family, and neighbors trusted me to walk, feed, and love on their pets like my own. I'm dependable, gentle, and very attentive when it comes to your pet(s) needs. Whether it's a playful puppy or a senior dog, I will be here to care for them and give them the attention they deserve. I currently only do online classes, so I have plenty of flexibility and time to suit myself into your schedule to care and and play with your pets! I will provide the comfort and safety your pet needs in any environment you decide to put them in! No matter what, your pet will be my top priority wherever we go.

Jaelyne N.
“Jaelyne has watched my two dogs several times now, and I honestly couldn’t ask for a better sitter. From the very first time she met them, she connected with them instantly. One of my dogs is usually pretty shy around new people, but he warmed up to her within minutes—which never happens! She’s patient, super attentive, and always keeps me updated with frequent pictures and text messages about how they’re doing. It’s clear how much she genuinely cares, and I always feel completely at ease knowing they’re in such loving hands. I’ve recommended her to friends and would do so again in a heartbeat.
