“Asia was great with our house and animals. We could tell by the way our dog acts when she see Asia that they are friends. Our requests were taken care of and our house was the way it was when we left it in her hands. We highly recommend her.”


“Caleb was wonderful! He took great care of our dog Sully. He even stopped by the day before to get to know him. Caleb was incredibly attentive, caring, and responsible. Sully was so happy that he did zoomies! I highly recommend him to anyone looking for reliable and loving care for their furry friends. We are looking forward to hiring Caleb again.”


“My dog decided to be difficult the day that Kathleen was pet sitting for us. She would not let her leash her, but Kathleen was consistent and gained her trust and was eventually able to leash her. Kathleen was wonderful with my dogs and I would highly recommend her.”


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.

“Trisha was AMAZING! She stayed for a week with my 14 y/o dog and two cats. She sent me updates with photos throughout the day, was able to give my dog his medicine and was so attentive with playing with them. I highly recommend and would absolutely book her again.”


“Lauren was so sweet and took great care of our Harvey! He was a little crazy when she first arrived, and she was so patient with him. We're looking forward to having her take care of him again in a few weeks!”


“Hannah was once again amazing and took great care of our dogs while we were away. She did great with providing updates and sent lots of pics to make being away from our pups a little easier 😊”

“Caylin was great!!! We are so happy she was able to sit with our girls…. She kept me updated on how it was going and sent pictures of them during the day…. My husband and I were able to enjoy our day out…. Thank you again Caylin! I hope we will be able to use you in the future….”


About: I am a loving dog-mom that has lived with pets my entire life. I have a genuine love for animals of all ages and needs. I have two bulldog-lab mixes that I adore (6 year, 1 year). I don’t just “watch” pets—I like to learn their routines, personalities, and preferences so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Here are a few things that make me unique: *I’m patient, consistent, and reliable. *I’m experienced in caring for older pets who may need medication or extra comfort. I’m attentive to signs of discomfort and always prioritize their well-being. *I’m skilled at reading animal body language and adjusting my approach; whether they’re shy, energetic, or somewhere in between. *I maintain feeding, walking, and play schedules to reduce stress and keep pets feeling secure. *I provide regular updates, photos, and notes so you always know your pet is in the best care. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a gentle senior, I treat every pet like family. I’d love the opportunity to care for yours! I work full-time Monday through Friday, so weekends are ideal for pet sitting, walking, and feeding—they give me the time and energy to fully focus on your pet’s needs. However, weeknights are flexible for me with advance notice. That said, I’m also available on weeknight evenings and can be flexible with scheduling for walks, drop-ins, or feeding visits after work. I make it a priority to ensure pets feel cared for and comfortable, even with a busy schedule. Whether it’s a weekend stay or a weekday evening check-in, I’m committed to providing consistent, loving care that fits your pet’s routine. I prioritize comfort, safety, and consistency, whether they’re staying in my home or I’m visiting theirs. In my home, I am the dog-mom of two wonderful bulldog-lab mixes. They are 6 and 1 year, and require a lot of my attention. I create a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space to play, rest, and feel secure. I follow my dogs' usual routine as closely as possible—feeding times, walks, play, and quiet time—to minimize stress. I also make sure they have access to fresh water, cozy resting spots, and lots of affection. If a pet has special needs or preferences, I’m happy to accommodate them. In your home, I treat your home with respect and your pet like family. I stick to their established routine, including feeding, walking, playtime, and any medications or special care. I’m attentive to their behavior and comfort, and I always make sure they feel safe and loved in their familiar surroundings. I also provide regular updates, so you know how things are going while you’re away. I dog sit numerous times for my colleague's senior dog while their family is on vacation and am very reliable. Whether it’s in my space or yours, I aim to make every pet feel at ease and cared for like they’re my own.

“Billie just watched my dog for two days and again I am blown away with her service. She went above and beyond to make sure he was happy active and attended to. Absolutely the best so happy to work with her.”


“We booked Katie to stay with our girl for our 9 day vacation June 18th. She was great, gave us updates everyday with pictures. She responses very quickly . She made us feel very comfortable being away. I would highly recommend her. Katie is the best!”


“Such a compassionate Petsitter that treats the animals like a pet nanny! The animals loved her. To boot, I had recently gotten an equine that had bloodwork come back the day before our trip which necessitated special treatment. She handled it like a pro and my girl took to her right away. Would highly recommend even at the peril of having her booked up when we might like to have her sit for us.”


“Marlena stayed at our house for a week watching our 2 dogs and 2 cats. I couldn't be happier with her service and professionalism. It's exciting to discover a sitter you can trust and that your animals love! While they were happy to see us come home - our furs really missed Marlena when she left.”

“I booked louis as a last minute house sit for both my Great Dane and French bulldog. We did a meet and greet and his presence with my usually very timid Great Dane was so relieving!!! My Great Dane became INSTANT friends with Louis!!! His approach with building a relationship with them was so appreciated!! He kept the house incredibly clean and provided great updates with how they were doing! Will definitely be booking again for my work trips/vacations! Thank you Louis!!”


About: I grew up on a small farm. I currently have four cats and I am experienced in taking care of litter pans, feeding and providing love to cats. I currently also have two dogs. I love spending time with animals and I love walking so this new adventure seems like a great fit for my lifestyle. I currently work part time as a Dental Hygienist so I am available to be there for your pets needs. I am experienced to do this because I have 4 cats and two dogs that mean everything to me! I am a very trustworthy and detail oriented. I take pride in having a strong work ethic. I treat animals with the utmost respect and kindness realizing that each pet has a unique personality just like humans.

About: I have taken care of pets since I was 16. I have gained valuable experience working at a veterinary hospital caring for patients. I am skilled in training puppies, dog walking, senior care and more. I am well versed in administering medication via pill or needle. I am currently open to all suggestions. I am not currently working a job so my availability is open! I am available all 7 days of the week. I am currently in schooling to receive my veterinary technician license so besides studying my main object is to care and look after your pet providing them fun and daily care to make them happy while you are away with no worries. I often enjoy walking and hanging out in my background with pups and kitties. I have a fenced in backyard but always use a leash per client request regardless for safety reasoning. If it is the clients home I am very respectful cleaning up after the dog, taking out the trash and following instructions clearly on the pets needs.
