Breon has watched our dogs while we’re out of town several times now (see previous reviews :) ). This time our little one had some specific medical needs and I was nervous about leaving, however, when I saw our little dog squeal with excitement to see Breon it was reaffirmed they’re in good hands! Breon was super communicative (helps with my anxious dog mom self!) and tended to both of our dogs so thoughtfully as she would tend to her own pups. She was outstanding, she followed every medical direction perfectly and spent such quality time with our girls, which helped me feel at ease. It is evident Breon loves dogs and it warms my heart to see how much she cares for our girls. Thank you again, Breon!

August was wonderful with my fur baby and my home. It was so much easier to just leave and go on vacation instead of packing my dog up with all her stuff and trying to pick her up. I think it was less stressful for both of us. I definitely will be using August in the future.

SHE IS AMAZING. Seriously the best. She communicates well, sends pictures and videos every day, and obviously loves animals. My dogs loved her and they are normally very shy and picky with people they don’t know. I will definitely be booking again.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was in elementary school! I have experience taking care of and owning small and large dog breeds, cats, and even farm animals like goats, pigs, turkeys and cows! I also worked at a local alpaca farm and provided love, care and husbandry for a variety of exotic and farm animals, including horses, donkeys, alpacas, llamas, and more! I have extensive experience working with animals who have special dietary needs, who need basic veterinary care such as shots or insulin, and who have physical disabilities and need extra care and aid! Lastly I do have experience in basic behavior training for dogs, including click/reward training to teach sitting, lay down, and release. I also have experience in halter training, specifically for Alpacas, but also for any other animal that may require learning halter/lead walking such as horses or donkeys. I am currently working part time, and my part time college courses are all online/flexible, so I will have plenty of time for your pets needs and for playtime, and am able to make sure that bathroom breaks and meal/snack times are not spaced too far apart :) I make sure to follow any given instructions for pet care, including specialized instructions for a special diet or medications, to a T. I like to go over the details with clients of how their pet may like to play, how much attention they enjoy, what their favorite snacks are, and of course any special needs such as medications, dietary needs, insulin etc… to make sure that I am offering the highest quality of care and comfortability for their beloved pet. I also make sure to pay a close attention to timing between meals, snacks and potty breaks so their pets do not become uncomfortable or have any accidents. Lastly, I make sure to give lots of love to their furbaby so they do not feel lonely!

About: I worked and a vet assistant for 2 years where I learned to care for dogs and cats.I have experience with all types of dogs/cats and know how to handle certain personalities and behaviors. Growing up I constantly dog sat for friends and family and had 2 dogs of my own, a Morkie and a Golden. The past few years I have continued dog sitting and have added cat sitting to my repertoire. I will treat your furry friends as if they were my own and give them all the love and care I have to offer. I currently work a regular 8-4 M-F job and would love to care for your pets on my off hours. I genuinely enjoy taking care of animals and will give them my full attention when I see them. I am available in the off hours of my job and on weekends. I have no pets of my own currently in the house. So your pet will be given my undivided attention! I live in the city so if you are comfortable with your dog getting to explore downtown, then I am more than happy to board them with me. However if that is not the case, I am more than willing to come stay with your pet in their own environment. I plan to keep their schedule the same as if you were taking care of them to minimize disruption.

Maddie is a wonderful pup / house sitter. She has completed 2 in-home stays for us over holiday weekends and taken excellent care of our 2 huskies. She was proactive with communication before each stay to get keys and instructions. During the stay she sent daily updates and pictures. We were able to relax on vacation knowing our pups were happy and cared for. Thank you Maddie!

About: I grew up with large dogs, so caring for bigger breads comes naturally to me. I've also been a go-to dog sitter for family, friends, and neighbors, giving me experience keeping pets comfortable in their own homes and sticking to their normal routines. I'm currently working fully remote, so I have plenty of flexibility to help care for your dog during the week and of course over the weekend. I prefer to care exclusively in the client's home so that their pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I treat every home with respect - keeping things clean, secure, and exactly how I found them. I am careful to follow instructions on pet behavior and care, and make sure they are always secure on walks and in the home. Communication is key! I like to text regular updates and photos so you know how your dog is doing.

About: I have a miniature schnauzer who I trained and raised from a puppy. I’m looking to gain more experience with all kinds of dogs. I am very interested in fostering later in life and I am missing my pup while I’m away at school. I know life can be hectic so I am excited to help anyone out a little and meet some new pets in my free time! I am working part time and in school. I work mostly mornings and have classes at night right now, however Tuesday’s are my busiest days right now. The rest of the week after 1:00 and I am free and looking to fill that time earning a little extra money and spend time with some furry friends! Every week looks a little different and I don’t always have work in the morning so please feel free to reach out, I may be available! :) I know every pet is different and needs different things. I am very flexible and happy to cater to different situations as they come. I enjoy walking and exercising so I am happy to do long and short walks, parks and more. I have an anxious dog myself so I understand some pets need a little space when meeting new people and new environments. I’m looking to give your pets the best experiences possible and listen to any instructions you may have for them.

About: Hi friends! I've never know life or a home without animals—I’ve always had multiple pets in my home, and caring for them has been one of the most meaningful parts of my life. I recently lost my soul cat in January 2026, and for anyone who's ever experienced the loss of any pet, the pain of that is unexplainable and my heart is with you. Over the years, I’ve stepped in for a close friend’s pet sitting business and have been the go-to for many friends and family when they head out of town. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or keeping their routine, I’m very intentional about creating a space where pets feel safe and cared for. At home, I care for my two cats daily (my babies, I love love love them), and I’m experienced with administering medications and adapting to each pet’s needs. As a Reiki-certified practitioner, I bring a calming energy into my work. I’m especially mindful with anxious or sensitive animals, meeting them where they’re at and moving at their pace. I've even let anxious pets eat out of my hand just to make sure they get their meal in. lol I treat every pet like they’re my own. Because that's the bare minimum I want for my own two cats when I'm out of town myself. -Open to other services like watering plants, collecting mail or a small photoshoot for you pet while you're away! :) For anyone who's anxious, I have plenty of 'hard references' that would be happy to have a quick phone call and speak on their experience with me. Caring for others pets fits naturally into my daily rhythm! I’m self-employed and work about 3–4 days a week, which gives me a ton of flexibility and space in my schedule to show up consistently for the pets I care for. :) Because my routine is already centered around caring for my own two cats—who are relatively low-maintenance—I’m able to move through my days in a grounded and organized in my schedule. This allows me to give your pets my full attention, whether that’s for walks, drop-ins, or just spending quality time with them so they feel safe and supported while you’re away. Caring for your babies is never rushed or jammed into my schedule. Building pet care into my day in a way that feels present and thoughtful. I also send daily updates and photos of each pet and/or drop in! Safety, trust are at the main goal of how I care for your pets! I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, needs, and personality so I can create a space where they feel secure and happy. In a your home, I’m very mindful of maintaining your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible—feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific care instructions are followed with close attention. I always prioritize supervision, boundaries, and giving pets their own space when needed. I’m attentive to details, aware of pet body language, and proactive about safety. I’m also experienced in administering medications and handling more sensitive or anxious pets with patience and care. I want both you and your pets to feel a sense of trust.

When I had to go out of town for a week, Madison did an amazing job taking care of my cat, who is recovering from surgery and on 3x/day antibiotics. She kept me informed throughout and helpfully trouble shooted when my cat started resisting her medicine. I’m very grateful for Madison’s help over the last week and would recommend her to you!
