“Julia was super responsive and was really patient with my dog. My dog was really struggling at the beginning when she stopped over but she continued to update me and ensured he was feeling comfortable! She was also so flexible with what I needed. She was great! Would recommend!”
“God/Goddess thank you for Katie & her hubby too. Quilly was so so happy in the pictures and when I came home. Incredibly trustworthy and friendly lady (neighborly too! ) to care for pup.”
“Theresa was amazing with our boy, Remy. We booked with her last minute before leaving on a week long trip. She was extremely accommodating and understanding to our specific needs. Long story short, Remy is a 4 mo old puppy who still needs A LOT of training. Theresa was incredibly patient with our boy, and even spent time training him when we were away. I felt like Remy was safe when he was with her, and she sent pictures and updates every single day. I know that Remy did not make things easy for her, but she stuck it out and took wonderful care of our baby. I would highly recommend her services!”
About: I’ve taken care of my personal dogs as well as friends and family dogs for years now. I am experienced with dogs of all sizes, as well as all personalities. I am familiar with low energy and high energy breeds, and know how to cater to each of them. I also specialize in dogs that have anxiety as well as reactivity, and know how to monitor their behavior and understand them in a way that most humans and other animals do not. I currently work full time, Monday-Friday so all animals would need to be able to be home alone for around 8-9 hours during the weekdays. My current hours are 6:30am-3pm, so I make a point to be available in the morning before I leave for work, and then after I return from work. This also applies to drop-ins. I make a point to be fully available on weekends since I am away often during the weekdays, but am also home early enough during the week that I can spend the afternoon, evening, and night with your furry little ones. I will care for your pets by following the owners’ and pets’ needs, I never stray from instructions. I will ensure safety precautions are always taken, as your animals safety is my highest priority.
“KiAnna was willing to arrive by 6:45 AM so we could depart by 7:15 AM. She took great care of Chester and we will be asking her to house sit and take care of Chester again!”
About: I'm available to provide the best care for all your furry (or fur-less), scaly, and or feathered friends. I understand that each pet has unique needs, from daily walks and belly rubs for dogs to creating the perfect habitat for reptiles and keeping your cat’s world enriched with toys and cuddles. I offer compassionate care tailored to your pet’s specific personality and requirements, ensuring they feel loved, safe, and happy while you're away. No matter the species, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family, with lots of attention, patience, and of course, treats! I'm currently working and going to school part-time, but feel free to reach out and I'll see what I can do to help you out! I always prefer to provide care in your home, and will treat your home, property and of course your pets with the upmost respect. In addition to caring for your pets, I am happy to bring in the mail or delivered packages, and provide other random services at your request as needed. I may be able to provide boarding care in my home with notice on a case by case basis provided your pet is house-trained and gets along well with my personal pets.
“Jade is outstanding. She will keep you updated on your pet regularly with texts, pictures, and videos and takes such great care of your pet and house. My mind is always at ease when she is at our house!”
About: As a dog mom myself, I know how important routine, patience, and love are to a happy pup. I’ve personally trained my own dog and have years of experience dog sitting for all kinds of breeds and temperaments. Whether your dog loves long walks, belly rubs, or just someone calm and kind to keep them company, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and at ease while you’re away. Pet sitting fits seamlessly into my schedule—I work from home and have a flexible routine, which allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve throughout the day. Whether it’s midday walks, feeding, or just keeping your pets company, I’m able to adjust my workday to meet their needs and keep them happy and comfortable. In my client’s home, I aim to keep your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions closely—whether that’s feeding times, walk schedules, medications, or preferred playtime rituals. I also keep things tidy and make sure your pet feels calm, safe, and loved while you’re away
“Hunter was really accommodating when we got sick while trying to schedule our meet & greet for a last minute trip. She did great with the dogs & allowed us a stress free weekend away!”
“Where do I begin, Midori exceeded my expectations in every way! She is gentle and loving toward our pets, flexible and trustworthy. She kept me updated with pictures and daily activities. At the last minute my daughter dropped her cat over too and Midori took care of both animals with TLC!!! I will hire Midori again and again…she is wonderful and accommodating and I was so relaxed on vacation because of her care!!!”
“We instantly liked Sophia and the way she approached the dogs, a corgi and a German Shepherd, was with openness and a love of animals that showed, She cared for them for a three day stay and sent us some pics and videos with her laughing at their antics that ware great to see. She went out and played with them and gave the allergy meds to the big guy. We came home to a neat home, and a very nice and informative note. Sophia is a busy student, a young athletic sitter who can handle a dog as big as she is. We were lucky to find her and felt good knowing the pups loved her.”
“Lauren is wonderful! She went above and beyond to care for our dog and cat. Our cat needs twice daily insulin, so we are careful to choose just the right sitter, and we are so glad we found Lauren!”

About: I have two senior dogs (both 12 years old) who are still mildly active. I love to take dogs on walks or hikes and being outside with them. I have been dog watching for over 10 years and have experience with many different breeds. I am comfortable administering medications and any other kind of care that may be needed. I am currently in between jobs and about to start school so I have plenty of free time to spend with your little loved ones! I keep my dogs on a regular feeding schedule and change over their water regularly. I can easily crate your dog if requested and love to cuddle and play with your love bugs depending on their energy levels.
About: I’ve had dogs for most of my life and have been pet sitting on the side for over 2 and a half years now! I mostly do overnights, making sure dogs are well taken care of and attended to. I am currently pet sitting full time, so I will be available almost every day, at any given time! Whether that’s a drop in visit or an overnight stay! I try to spend as much time as much time as I have with your dog to make sure they have been let out to go to the bathroom and exercise if needed!
“Drake was great to have as a house sitter for our two pups. At the initial meeting the dogs went right up to him. He spent some time getting to know them. While we were gone Drake would text anytime he had a question. Hire him for any dog care you may have”

She is always working to educate herself better on dogs and how to make sure they are safe and comfortable. I have never worried about leaving my animal in her care.”

Jesse R.
“I can’t say enough great things about Jesse. He’s incredibly affordable, reliable, and just all-around amazing with animals. My dog is super friendly, hyper, and has an endless amount of energy—but somehow, he keeps up with her like it’s no big deal. She always comes back happy, tired, and clearly well cared for. He has a natural way with animals and so much experience—not just with dogs, but all kinds of pets. It’s such a relief knowing she’s in good hands with someone who genuinely loves what he does. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, energetic, and kind dog walker!”

We never left our pets overnight, let alone multiple nights. Both dogs are on medication, and one is diabetic. Hunter gave us consistent updates and photos, and it put my mind at ease after the first update. 100000/10 recommend Hunter, we will definitely be using her again!
