Whether it’s a playful walk or a cozy cuddle, I treat every pet like my own. I’ve worked with pets of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, ensuring they feel safe and happy. You can count on me for reliable, caring service and regular updates for your peace of mind! I’m a college student studying Nutrition and Dietetics while working an on campus job, this gives me plenty of time to take care of your pets!

You can also trust in my judgment and ability to care for your animals during visits while you’re not home!
“Emily is a great dog walker/pet sitter. I have a very high energy and excitable dog who loves her and she is very knowledgeable on how to interact with all different kinds of dogs. I will continue to use her and recommend her to anyone with fur babies :)”

About: I bring hands-on, real-world experience from working at a professional dog daycare called Fetch, where I regularly supervised groups of 17–20 dogs at once. This taught me how to read canine body language, manage group play safely, and ensure every dog feels comfortable and enriched. Beyond daycare work, I’ve also done individual dog walking and spent time volunteering at local shelters, where I walked dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. These experiences have helped me build patience, confidence, and strong handling skills. Whether your dog is playful, shy, high-energy, or needs a little extra reassurance, I’m committed to creating a safe, positive, and fun experience for them. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I dedicate Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays entirely to it. I treat pet care like a full-time responsibility on those days, making sure I have plenty of time for walks, play, feedings, and attention. When I’m caring for someone’s pet, they become my priority, and I make sure their routine is followed and their needs are fully met. In my own home, I’ve cared for my dog since he was a puppy—we started with crate training and now he enjoys playtime in our fenced yard and daily walks. Because of that experience, I’m comfortable with different routines and training styles. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m very flexible and always follow the routine their dog is used to. Whether that means crate time, specific walking schedules, certain feeding instructions, or favorite play activities, I make sure to care for their pet the same way they would. My goal is to keep each dog comfortable, safe, and happy by sticking to what feels familiar to them.
“Nicole is absolutely fabulous with our Cole. She is extremely reliable, and she has such a great understanding of dogs. Our guy is still young and can be aggressive. Nocole has really been a positive influence on him and he is not barking at dogs or people as much on his walks. She is so extremely friendly and personable. You will love her.We do!!”

“Wonderful experience - communication was on point and I felt completely comfortable having Allison walk my pup (first time I’ve ever had to leave her alone for over 5 hours)! I highly recommend her!!”

“Awesome all around! Kate even helped us out when our boy Rocky was having tummy issues by leaving us a sample of pumpkin powder to sprinkle on his food, which helped! Above and beyond care.”

About: I've always been an animal lover and have had many pets since I was 10 years old. I adopted my first cat from the shelter 7 years ago and he just turned 9 this past September. Before that, I've had experience with reptiles, birds, dogs (seniors included!), cats, and fish but love all kinds of animals. I guarantee that your pets will be well taken care of. I am available most days of the week and can be flexible when it comes to scheduling. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. I will make sure that your pets are happy and engaged during the duration of my time with them. If you are interested, I would love to set up a meet and greet. I am very flexible when it comes to scheduling so please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions, concerns or requests. I will always make sure your pets have fresh water and food (as needed). I don't try to force pets to engage with me unwillingly and will give them space until they are comfortable with me. I will still monitor them to ensure their safety. If there are any off limit areas in your home, I will make sure to keep your pets and myself away from there. If you or your pets have any allergies, I will make sure not to bring any potential allergens into your home.
“Devon is a trust worthy sweet caring person who luvs animals. She not only walks my dog. She takes time to entertain him. He gets so excited when he knows she’s there to care for him. This I truly appreciate! I’ve been a reoccurring customer now for several months.”
About: I was always nervous to leave my furry babies with someone I didn’t know. And I had not-so-great experiences at the kennel. I preferred them to be in a home, cared for by someone who understood their quirks. But I didn’t know anyone who could watch my dogs! Hi, I’m Deidre. And I know we don’t know each other yet, but I hope I can be that person for you. My husband and I almost always home, so your pup will have constant company, frequent pee breaks in our fenced yard, walks, and plenty of cuddles and laps to sit on (if that’s what they like). Ultimately, we want every dog to be happy and welcome quirky personalities and unique needs. We currently have one old-lady-hound who was born in the woods and was feral for the first years of her life. She is a sweet girl who spends most of her time outdoors. We recently lost our velcro cuddle bug, and miss her a lot. From fresh-air aficionados to lap-loungers, we know all dogs aren’t the same. And since you know your dog best, please tell us what will help them feel at home away from home. I’m happy to talk, and have a meet and greet, to see if there’s a mutual fit. Ultimately I want your dog to be cared for not by a stranger, but a friend! Since I work from home, I'm here pretty much all the time. So is my husband. There's usually at least one of us here, so your pup won't be alone. Tell me your ideal schedule for your pet, and we'll make it work! In my home or yours, I'm very flexible based on your pet's regular routine and preferences. When your dog is our guest, my goal is to keep them in their routine as much as possible. Do they like extra playtime in the yard? Long afternoon naps in the dog bed next to my desk? Whatever their style is, I'm here to make their visit comfortable and enjoyable. Plus, if it's okay with you, I'd like to spoil them a little with extra treats while they're here. :)

I have over 5+ years of experience in marine animal husbandry and training, and am excited to devote the same level of care and expertise to your fur babies. I am currently a veterinary student and am devoted to providing the best health and husbandry care to your animals. Given my flexible schedule, I am available for whatever you may need and can provide a wide array of care during those days. Animals always come first and am happy to accommodate your animal's needs. As an animal care professional, animal health and well-being is my utmost priority. When taking care of any animal I do it with the highest level of care and respect. I want to make sure your animals feel safe and enriched when you are away.
“Joanne is very reliable and accommodating. It is obvious how much she cares about the pets she visits and their owners. I would recommend her to sit for your pets.”

“Andrew did a great job walking my dogs. He arrived on time every day, followed the instructions I had sent, and kept me informed of how my dogs were doing during the walk.”

“Lucinda has been a fantastic walker for Luna. Punctual, professional, and great updates on the walks. Wonderful to work with and couldn’t be happier. We hope to have Lucinda walk Luna again soon!”

“John was great! He took wonderful care of our pup, who immediately bonded with him. We also appreciated John’s communication and updates. We’d recommend John, and will be booking with him again in the future.”

About: I have lived with dogs my whole life. I have a dog named Romeo who is 4 years old. I have learned that dogs deserve patience and quality time, of course love. I have watched others dogs, family and friends, and they have always been happy with the outcome. I have experience in cleaning, playing, feeding the right amount of food, and caring. I have 2 part time jobs! Currently, my one job is on weekdays in the mornings to mid afternoon (ranges from 8am-2) and my other job is consistently on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 5:30 to close. My first job tends to not schedule me as much so I have more leeway with my morning schedules. Sundays I have church at 11am to 12pm. My household has 3 Dogs, including a fenced in yard. When I let them go out to use the bathroom, I will stand outside to make sure they get inside safely. Around their dinner time, one of our dogs has a separate food bag because he has food sensitivities so I make sure to separate their food and give them a specific amount of food that is good for them. I will play with them all the time, give them love and treats, and make sure they are content. (I will be the only caretaker, no one else in my household will be accompanying me!)

I also offer a complimentary meet and greet to ensure we’re the right fit for both you and your furry friend. I can’t wait to meet you and your pet! Pet care fits naturally into my routine.

Reliable, loving pet visits are something I genuinely look forward to. When caring for pets in their home, I follow their usual routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I respect the space, keep things clean, and make sure your pet gets the attention, affection, and care they’re used to. My goal is to make them feel safe and loved while you’re away.
