“Nancy did a wonderful job staying at our house and caring for my two dogs. She sent daily pics, walked them and overall did a really nice job of taking good cared of them while we were on vacation. Great to know you can count on someone to be responsible and care for your dogs while away. We will definitely use her again.”


“Virginia was fantastic! She stayed with our hound, Lily, for a week while we were on vacation. She sent lots of photos and updates as to how our girl was doing. We definitely will use Virginia again in the future and highly recommend her! Thank you Virginia!!”

“Cydney took great care of Harper, was reliable and promptly communicated with me. She is a very kind and responsible person. I recommend her and will use her to watch Harper in the future.”

About: I have taken my mother's lab to trips to the groomer as well as getting her to be patient during bath time. I also taught her to wait for her food to be poured before eating, taught her a few tricks such as, sitting, speaking, and how to walk beside me appropriately on a leash without dragging. I only work part-time for the rest of the year, so my schedule is quite available. I have availability Mondays - Thursdays all day. I can also do overnight stays as well! I have my senior cat roam anywhere in the house, he is mainly outside. However, due to his old age, he is fragile and I don't want to change routine too much, he also needs lots of my attention and affection while I am home. I am willing to come to you instead! reducing the hassle of having to drop-off!

About: With over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes—from tiny Chihuahuas to giant Mastiffs—I bring deep knowledge and genuine passion to every pet care situation. I understand that each dog has unique needs, temperament, and personality, whether they're energetic puppies needing guidance, senior dogs requiring gentle care, or anything in between. My experience spans all life stages and temperaments, and I have excellent references from satisfied pet parents. I'm committed to providing the same level of attentive, loving care that I've given my own dogs over the decades. Pet care is my full-time focus, and I'm available for walks or boarding morning, noon, and night, seven days a week. Weekends are no problem—I build my schedule around your pet's needs.

About: AKC certified in puppy training, socialization, breeding health and more I have a professional background in dog care through all stages of life. Working with dogs quickly became my passion when I entered the field years ago. I am often acknowledged for my empathy for animals and ability to notice and address medical concerns, skin conditions, allergic reactions and hygiene needs. I specialize in dog whelping, neonatal puppy care. I have vast variety of areas I have become very knowledgeable, and always eagerly continuing education. Dog grooming and training are large parts of my work as well and all of these roles are ones that I truly enjoy doing. Your dog will be treated with compassion by someone with an educated and experienced background. I have always been great with animals, and once i got started some courses and professional work witb dogs it quickly became my passion. I walk at least one dog per day. Theyre our best friends after all and deserve the best I own a home on a quarter acre lot with a dog that has served multiple dogs very well over the last almost 15 years. The backyard is dog proofed and provides tons of space for physical activity. I am very conscious of foxtail prevention and ensuring a safe setting.

About: I have taken care of dogs my entire life as well as a bunch of other animals like cats and horses. I love taking dogs for walks, hikes and loving on them and playing with them. I also have experience taking care of senior dogs and reactive dogs. I make it my mission to care for your pet as if they were my own and give them the love and care that they deserve. I am currently in between jobs so I have a pretty flexible schedule to care for your fur baby. I can easily drop by or stay over with your pet. In your home, I will follow whatever directions you have and treat your place with respect and kindness. I will care for your pet as if they were my own and send you daily updates! Depending on your and your pets needs I would also love to take them on hikes and walks in the neighborhood!
About: My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is not just cared for, but cared for with genuine love. I’ve been caring for pets for years and truly treat every dog or cat like part of the family. From playful puppies with endless energy to sweet senior pets who need extra patience and gentle handling, I tailor my care to each animal’s needs. What sets me apart is my attentive, personalized approach — I don’t just “watch” pets, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I understand how important routines are, whether it’s sticking to feeding schedules, administering medications, or keeping up with daily walks and playtime. I work from home, which means your pet will never feel “left alone” during the day. My flexible schedule allows me to give plenty of attention, walks, and play breaks throughout the day — not just morning and evening check-ins. I also share my life with Barkley, my friendly dog who loves having new buddies around. He’s a great companion for pets who enjoy company, playtime, or just having another dog to nap near. Together, we make sure your pet feels safe, entertained, and part of the family. Whether it’s sticking to feeding routines, long walks, or snuggle breaks between meetings, caring for pets is a natural part of my daily rhythm — not something I squeeze in. Your pup will have the best of both worlds here — space to run, play, and explore, plus all the comforts of a loving home. We live on an acre of land with large fenced dog runs, so pets can enjoy plenty of safe outdoor time. Whether your dog loves to zoom around, sniff every corner, or just lounge in the sun, there’s room for it all. Inside, pets are treated like family. I make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and included in the daily routine. Walks, play sessions, and cuddle time are built into the day, and I keep a close eye to make sure everyone is safe and happy. With my own dog, Barkley, as a friendly companion, visiting pups usually settle in quickly and feel right at home.
“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my dogs, Cali and Louie, on Valentine’s night! Jillian was incredibly reliable, communicative, and caring from start to finish. She made sure my pups were comfortable, well cared for, and given plenty of attention. It’s clear she truly loves animals and goes above and beyond to make them feel at home. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and loving pet sitter, I highly recommend booking with Jillian!!”

“Jordan was absolutely awesome!! I had to take a week long trip to visit my in laws for the holiday season and it always makes me nervous finding a good sitter for Archie, my 13 year old senior dog. Jordan was nothing short of phenomenal! I work from home and Archie is used to me being home a lot so Jordan shifted his schedule around to make sure that he was able to stay at my home as much as possible. He was super communicative throughout his entire stay, constantly kept me in the loop of things, and gave me lots of updates. Another thing I really appreciated was how punctual he was! I have had other sitters who took care of Archie and did just fine, but I really feel like Jordan went above and beyond. I told Jordan about cougars in the area and Jordan was extra careful to make sure that Archie was safe and secure in the home. The entire trip I had zero concern knowing that Archie was so well taken care of. Jordan cares about animals and it shows, and he also cares about his clients. I came home to a house that seemed even cleaner than before I left! Jordan is super kind, reliable, and trustworthy. He is the kind of sitter you want - especially if you have to take a trip for an extended period of time. I will 100% book with him again and recommend his services.”

About: My professional house and pet sitting journey began in 2021. However, my connection with animals started much earlier, with many beloved pets throughout my childhood. This lifelong experience has given me the skills to provide comprehensive care, including administering medicine to older animals with specific needs. Im currently taking a gap year so that allows me to dedicate specific attention to your pets' needs, providing plenty of playtime, loving care, and ensuring their complete comfort and happiness. My focus is providing in-home pet sitting services. I come to you, allowing your pets to stay happy and relaxed in their own environment and surroundings.
About: I got my first dog when I was six, and growing up he was my best friend. I also had lizards, birds, fish, frogs, hamsters, and cats! Ever since then, I have always been passionate about helping dogs and other animals. I've taken care of many dogs and cats over the years of all sizes and ages, and now I want to make this passion my work. My favorite part about taking care of dogs is walking them. I have a Border Collie and know how to handle hyper and active dogs. I have experience taking care of disabled pets as well- I had a small dog that used a wheel chair for years and lived a happy life. All of my friends and family call me first when in need of a pet sitter because they know I'm capable and that I truly care. Whether you need walking, bathing, feeding, or someone to assist with your special needs pet, I have done it all and would love to help! I am available to walk your dog and take care of your pets any day of the week. So send me a message and I will respond quickly! First, I ask pet owners if there are any requirements or concerns to be aware of when I am entering their home to care for their pet. In addition, I always like to know what treats or activities their pets enjoy. For example, during an appointment, I will often greet pets with their favorite treat, check if they need water, take care of any potty or medical needs, and stimulate them with their favorite activity! Before leaving, I make sure I have performed all required tasks requested by the client.
