“Margaret is absolutely amazing and super trustworthy. Was super stressed and anxious about leaving my pup at home all day and knowing she is stopping in even for 30 minutes to feed him, play with him and take him out is perfect! She follows all directions perfectly and I will definitely consider booking her for more long term care. Will continue to book reoccurring visits!”


About: I’ve been around pets my entire life, mostly dogs. I’ve owned my own dogs since I was 12, and I currently own a German shepherd and a Coton De Tulear. I consider myself a true animal enthusiast and I believe that caring for them is more than a chore, but something you need to be passionate about to give them the best care they deserve. I’m returning to college to pursue a career in veterinary medicine and I’d love to not only give your pets the care they deserve, but to add to my experience for the furbabies in the future! Caring for pets in my clients home will all depend on what I have access to. I am more than comfortable with taking dogs outside/on walks, crating them, and feeding/treating them.

“Thank you so much! Pamela is very respectful and responsible. She treats everything as if it was her own, hence the caring and love of my kitty while I was on vacation. Will definitely be reaching out to Pamela again upon my next vacation!”


“Kaeley stopped by to meet my dog and myself before our 1st booking. She was very friendly, interacted with my dog and I felt she was a great choice to do drop in visits. She was on time and communicated very well. We already have additional dates for Kaeley to do other drop in visits.”


“Lee was super awesome over the last 7/8 months. It was great to have her come check on my baby while I was at work. One less thing for me to stress about. Thank you! 😊🐶”


“We absolutely love Erica. We had multiple family emergencies all at once and needed aid with the cats during a holiday week, last minute. Not only was Erica responsive to our initial needs but she was extremely accommodating as circumstances changed throughout the week. Our cats have special needs and she has easily earned their trust when administering oral/topical meds. They’re usually skittish with anyone but those who live in the house but they just love when she’s around. Can’t imagine trusting anyone else with our furry friends, and I can’t sing her praises enough. Thank you, Erica!!”


“We have depended on Dana for the past couple of weeks now to do once per week drop-ins to take care of Laney while we are away at work and she has not disappointed! Dana has listened and implemented all of our little asks while dropping in to see Laney and Laney has quickly warmed up to her in a short amount of time already! We are looking forward to continue working with Dana :)”


About: I've been helping take care of dogs since I was about 10 years old, when my family got my childhood dog, Roxie. Since then I've ben helping neighbors, friends and of course my family take care of their pets. Mostly dogs but also some cats. We raised out current dog Freya as a puppy, and while frustrating and difficult, it was also very fun and rewarding. I'm very pleased to see how far she's come from the tiny little ball of energized razor teeth that she was! I am a Geologist with lots of regional travel involved. When I am not traveling I am often working from home, so I work and simultaneously take care of my dog, Freya. For sitting/boarding/walking services I would be confined to weekends only with few exceptions. Requests for non weekends are welcomed though, I may be able to help if I am in town! I have a fenced in yard with a pool. I understand the pool may be a worry, so I wouldn't let your pet outside unless I am with him/her. Upon request, I can take your pet outside on a leash. We have one dog and two cats in our house. All are friendly towards other animals, but if you'd like more information about any of our pets please let me know!

About: I have been a dog owner for the last 11 years. I also volunteer at a local dog shelter, which I have been a part of for the last 4 years. I will help w/ dogs of any size or breed and cats. I have also put my personal dogs through training, which can be beneficial when helping with someone else’s dog. I invested in a course called Shelter Playgroup Alliance to help me learn and improve my skills in reading dog behavior and body language. I currently work FT, but am available early mornings, nights and weekends to walk dogs or do drop in visits. My schedule on the weekends is very flexible. Your dog will get play time, a good walk and lots of love. I can also bathe them if needed. I have learned a lot about enrichment, which is great for mental exercise.

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my experience working with large, energetic, and even reactive breeds. I understand that these dogs often need extra patience, structure, and calm energy on walks, and I make it a priority to keep them safe and comfortable at all times. While I am not a certified dog trainer, I do use consistent handling skills and positive reinforcement to help make walks smoother and less stressful for both dogs and owners. Another big focus for me is communication. I always keep owners updated with messages, photos, and honest feedback so you never have to wonder how your dog is doing. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pup is cared for like family. I work full time during the day, but pets are a huge part of my life and I make sure to fit them into my routine. I’m available most evenings after 6 PM and on weekends, which is perfect for evening walks, playtime, or overnight care. Tuesdays are my completely free day, so I can give extra time and attention then. This way, your pup still gets plenty of love, exercise, and consistency even with my work schedule. Since I only offer drop-in visits and dog walking, my focus is on making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. During walks, I make sure your dog gets the right balance of exercise, stimulation, and safety based on their energy level and needs. For drop-in visits, I handle the essentials like feeding, water refresh, and potty breaks, but I also make time for play, cuddles, and attention so they don’t feel alone while you’re away. I always treat your home with respect and leave everything just as I found it.

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all types/ages. My family, friends, and neighbors have all relied on me for years. Puppies and senior dogs are always a treat to care for as well! Currently I have open availability! So please let me know what your needs are😊 I will be going back to working part time at some point but not for a few weeks! Drop in visits are a great opportunity for me to give your pet a break in their alone time! I’m happy to feed/water or give any medications necessary. Walks are a great chance to get some of their energy out too, whichever service you prefer for your pet!

About: I have 10 years of vast experience including but not limited to feeding my pets, providing them with water, giving walks to ensure they are active and healthy, and playing with them! For 10 years with my two dogs as well as other variety of pets, I have also provided them with the upmost love and care! My routine is very flexible and I am available most of the day to take care of your beloved pets! Though I have trained a routine with my own dogs, I can completely adapt to your schedule/routine as well! Your animals health and well being is my up most priority! Due to the many years of experience taking care of animals, I will make sure your pet or pets are always cared for and protected always! If you want someone who is completely dedicated to all animals and who is incredibly passionate about providing nothing but the best care for them, then I am your girl! I always have room in my day for your pets care! My schedule is completely flexible and I am available most M-F's from 8 am-very late in the night! So finding time for your pet will never be a problem! Feel free to check my availability and see when I am available, if a day or time is not available reach out anyway and I am sure we can work something out! I care for my clients pets as if they are my own! Due to me absolutely loving animals, I love to spoil them with tons of love and care! If my two dogs could talk, they would tell you how happy and spoiled they are by me! My service will include feeding, providing water, walks around my safe neighborhood, and giving them lots of affection!

About: Ive taken care of my families dogs for the last 15 years and always made sure they were well cared for. Friends also entrusted me with the care of their animals knowing that I am no stranger to difficult animals and messy situations. I have also been a volunteer at local animal shelters and know how to handle larger and more difficult to walk animals. I have a senior dog now so I also understand the care that goes into helping animals who are struggling I have a dog in my home who has a torn ACL. He has difficulty with stairs and walks so I ice his leg daily and carry him up the stairs. I make sure also to feed him his medication and ensure he is always comfortable given his aches and pains. While I cannot do boarding, within other homes, I will walk and play with animals constantly. I love interacting with pets and find joy in spending time doing what animals love, whether it be snuggled up on the floor, playing tug of war or going on long walks. Any dietary needs or medical care animals require I am well equipped and prepared for all the above


About: **NO DOGS OVER 20 LBS. FOR IN MY HOME CARE. I do walks & drop in visits for larger dogs up to 150lbs. Sorry for any inconvenience ** I have always had a passion for animals.

“I have a rescue chihuahua who usually takes a while to warm up to strangers. After the first visit, it was like he had known Tia’s family forever! Her and her family have routinely watched him overnight have treated him as if he was their 5th dog; approved ice cream outings, walks, parks, cuddles, and much more. Tia sends many photos, videos, and updates without asking, reassuring me that my chihuahua is always taken care of. I can confidently say any dog left with Tia will be in the best hands!”


Valerie S.
“When my dog, Stu, was still with us, Valerie demonstrated time and time again that I could trust her with my best friend when work/school kept me away from home. This was especially true as he got older (he had issues with incontinence, poor vision, and hearing loss) and required a lot of patience and TLC. I’d trust Valerie and highly recommend Valerie to take care of your furry friend and know that they are in the best care possible.”
