“Alexis does an awesome job taking care of my kitties!! Wouldn’t think twice about having her take care of my animals again! She goes above & beyond! Would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter!!”

About: I have been an animal lover and had dogs my whole life. My first job was working at a boarding kennel at 14 years old. I have worked with many different breeds. I am experienced with boarding pets in my home, pet bathing experience/groomer in training, nail trimming, ability to give oral medications, insulin injections (I have had two diabetic dogs), walking dogs of any breed or size. At this time I am very flexible. My life revolves around animals. I can commit to your schedule to suit you and your pets needs. I have a fenced in back yard and live away from high traffic for safe walks, I have dogs of my own for your pup to have friends to play with. I can keep my dogs separate from yours if needed. Patient, and quiet loving home with pet's needs as my top priority. Can take them for car rides or snuggle up on the couch and watch a movie. I can pick your pet up and drop them off if needed.
“Kathleen was great to trust with my two pets while I was away! My dog is not always thrilled about new people, but she was very patient with him and even got a kiss from him. Will definitely rebook!”

“I've never felt so relaxed on a trip knowing my pets were being taken care of and safe. I could definitely tell there was genuine care for my pets. Thank you so so much.”

About: I am a Registered Veterinary Technician with over 20 years of pet medical experience, pet care, cat rescue, and TNR work. I have volunteered at Animal Rescue, Inc, walking dogs and caring for cats. I also volunteered for feral cat spay/neuter clinics. For over 20 years I have provided complex daily care, including medical needs, for my personal pets. This, and petsitting, have previously been accomplished during full time employment as a veterinary technician at veterinary hospitals. I have provided petsitting many times in owners' homes in the past. I can also pick up mail, water plants, close curtains, turn lights on and off, etc.
“I have three elderly dogs, two of which did not have not had a good past. They are fearful of people for good reason. They instantly trusted Mary. I have never before been able to go away without worrying the entire trip. She has truly enhanced our lives, already booked her a second time.”
“Colleen is wonderful with our 2 German Shepherds (at one point three!). She's prompt, very responsive, and caring! We are so thankful for Colleen whenever we are away for long weekends or family vacations. Thank you!”

About: I am experienced in walking, playing, and taking care of dogs. I will be playful, affectionate, and loving towards your dog and treat them with the best possible care. I previously have worked in a pet store driven more towards cats and dogs and had the best time! I take college classes during the day through the week and am looking for an enjoyable job about something I am passionate about. I would love to spend my free time with your pet! I will care for your pet in your home by using your provided supplies like food, bathing, and cleaning items. I love caring for animals and pampering them.
About: I’m a responsible college student with a genuine love for animals and a flexible schedule to give your pet tons of attention, exercise, and snuggles! Being home from college for the summer gives me the perfect opportunity to provide reliable, attentive pet care. I have lots of free time for walks, playtime, and snuggles. I love house sitting as well. I am a responsible college student home for the summer. I am happy to provide pet care in your home, where your pet feels most comfortable. In my home we have 3 dogs. Winston is a Bernese Mountain Dog, Rosie is a Yorkie, and Sofie is a Bernadoodle mix. So I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities.
“Great experience with Mark! Reliable and clearly loves animals. Our dog perfers being in his own space and I had peace of mind that Jubal was happy at home with Mark to check in on him. Communication was excellent with updates and photos. Highly recommend!”


About: I've taken care of pets for as long as I can remember, from farm animals to rodents, cats and dogs, reptiles & fish and even a deer! I've taken care of senior pets and very young pets! Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine because I work part time - a couple hours here and there. Other then that I'm home with my 10 month old baby boy who is excited to meet your pets! I do have my front yard fenced in but it is not the whole yard. I have a big back yard with a field behind! I can crate your dog if needed or just let them hang out with me while they’re here!
About: I've had a household full of pets for 12 years, and I can't go without! I bring my experience as a pet owner of dogs, cats, small mammals, and reptiles, as well as hundreds of hours of volunteer experience at a local shelter. I know how to provide many different kinds of enrichment to suit your pet personally, I have basic training experience, and I'm able to provide walks to all sizes of dogs in any weather on any terrain. I can also administer medication, and provide select grooming services to most pets. I'm currently available at any time Monday through Thursday, and available at 6PM or later on Friday and Saturday! I am not available on Sundays (exceptions can be made at my discretion). I can stop by at these times for any duties you require. I am happy to care for your pets however you desire in your home. If I'm stopping by for a check-in and some feeding, I'll make sure that I spend time with your pet to make sure they're alright. If you have an enclosed backyard you would like me to make use of, I'm happy to take any dogs out for a play session! Whatever you are set up for at your home and are comfortable entrusting me with, I will strive to meet those requests the best I can.
About: I've been surrounded by animals my entire life and can't imagine a home without them. Growing up, my family always had multiple dogs and cats, which gave me years of hands-on experience caring for pets of different ages, personalities, and needs. As an independent pet owner since 2014, I've cared for my own dogs through every stage of life, from energetic young pups to adult dogs with established routines. In 2020, I welcomed a second dog into my family, and today I proudly care for three dogs of my own. Managing a multi-dog household has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, safety, and understanding each pet's unique personality. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members. When caring for your pets, I treat them with the same love, attention, and respect that I give my own. Whether your pet needs exercise, playtime, companionship, medication reminders, or simply a comforting presence while you're away, I'm committed to making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care that gives you peace of mind and keeps your pets comfortable and loved while you're away. As an independent hair stylist, I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide attentive and reliable care for the pets entrusted to me. Unlike traditional 9-to-5 schedules, my flexibility gives me the ability to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, potty breaks, and plenty of one-on-one attention/play time throughout the day. Being self-employed has taught me the importance of responsibility, communication, and building trust with my clients—qualities I bring to pet care as well. I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines, and I take pride in providing personalized care that helps them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, favorite activities, and any special instructions provided by their owner. In a client's home, I strive to maintain their pet's normal routine as closely as possible to reduce stress and help them feel secure while their family is away. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, cuddles, and plenty of attention. I also respect and care for the home as if it were my own. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a clean, safe, and pet-friendly environment where they can relax and feel welcome. I closely supervise interactions, ensure pets have access to fresh water, regular potty breaks, exercise, and plenty of affection. Because I have experience with a multi-dog household (independently), I understand the importance of monitoring behavior, maintaining routines, and making sure every pet receives individual attention. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care, so I provide regular updates, photos, and communication to help owners feel confident and connected while they're away.
About: I have 10 years of pet sitting under my belt! On top of having four dogs of my own! I am able to pet sit multiple dogs or just 1 dog! I currently work full time with a pretty consistent schedule, i also am never busy after work. The latest i am off is 5 and that’s every other Saturday. I like to know the pets everyday routine. I also prefer to watch them at my client’s home so it’s less stressful the fur babies.
About: I have been around cats and dogs all my life. I just love all animals. Dog walking is great for their physical and mental health/improves their joints, and all around good therapy for me and your pet. Play time is also important. I will treat your furry family member with the utmost care & diligence. I am responsible, attentive, & detail oriented and will provide quality services. Currently available during the day. Just about anyday with a little notice. Can set up regular scheduled walk times. Or if you are in a bind, and need, on spur of notice. I am willing to walk from your home, or to a near by park. Giving attention and time. I typically like to know if they have a specific diet, medications, preferences, etc.
About: I am experienced in animal rescue, and therefore am familiar with all aspects from the routine, to special care for extremely young dogs, special medical, grooming or behavioral needs. I am comfortable with Dogs, Cats, Rodents, Aquatic, Reptiles, Farm Animals, etc. Just reach out and ask if you have a need you don't see listed! I am currently self-employed, so I can work and care for your animals flexibly. Please reach out and let me know your details and scheduling needs! I have a fenced in yard and 2 friendly dogs to be companions to your pet. Or, if your pet is solitary, I can provide their own space to relax while you're away!
“Lauren was a wonderful sitter. She stepped in last minute after I had a cancellation and was so stressed about finding someone. She took great care of my 3 kitties and was great with communication. I very much appreciated the picture updates and detailed notes she left for me each day. I would highly recommend her services and look forwarded to booking her in the future.”
“Brent has come to take care of River 3 or 4 times now. He does a very good job. He goes above and beyond every time, and River likes him! I will highly recommend him to anyone!!”

About: I love animals like they are my own! I have lived with animals and had to take care of them my entire life. Grew up with cats, Chihuahuas pitbull boxers, all kinds of different breeds. I believe life is better with animals <3 I am a college student, living on campus and miss my cat and dog! What a better way to make some extra money then being able to help some pets!
