“Amie was very professional, kind and helpful! Our pets were lovingly cared for, and our little dog Oscar was relaxed and content when we arrived home from our vacation. Amie took care of our home like it was her own, and she was excellent at communicating while we were out of town. We felt very pampered by her expertise and care for our pets and our home!”


“Daizee-Mae was incredible with our 2 pampered pups and cat. She even took care of our 12 chickens! The dogs were able to sleep with her like they do with us and feel comfortable in their own home which is priceless to us. She loved them as if they were her own! She kept us updated with pictures and text messages on how our pets were doing. She even let the cat sleep with her. We will definitely be having Daizee-Mae stay with our pets again. Great pet sitter!”


“Kat sent so many pictures and videos of my sweet Winnie. I am confident that Winnie got lots of attention and had all of her needs met while I was away. Highly recommend!”


About: Hello! My name is Arica. I have been taking care of pets for many years. Love animals, especially dogs. I don’t have any kids and most of my time is spent at home. I do have a job but it’s is all remote and I can control the days and hours I work. I will treat your fur babies like my own and will make sure your house is looking as good as you left it. If you agree to let me take care of your babies I will do the best in my power to make sure they are safe and comfortable. Message me if you have any questions. Thank you 😊 I work for a company that is remote. I have full control of try scheduling and when I work. So there would be no problem fitting it in to my routine! I make sure to treat them like family. I take care of the home as well. I would follow all of owners guidelines for walks, crating, and administering medication. Always making sure your pup is safe, having a tight hold onto leashes when walking!

About: I am an avid dog and cat lover that wants to live vicariously through your pet. I'm a full-time social worker whose career is caring for people in community. However, my passion doesn't stop there. I also love animals! I was born and raised with cats and dogs throughout my whole life. When caring for your dog or cat I treat them with love and care as if they were my own. I love giving lots of ear scratches and belly rubs along with taking them outdoors on walks. I feel better being in the outdoors hiking and if your loved one does too, I'd love to share my passion with them. I love animals of all ages and sizes. Please feel free to contact me with any additional questions or concern you may have about myself. I am working remotely and able to fit any fur baby into my flexible schedule. I have a reliable car that is dog friendly. I’m able to come to you, or pick up your loving pet. I have one fur baby to keep your pet company. I’m employed with the state and have passed all background checks. I will protect your fur baby as if one of my own.

“Morgan did an amazing job caring for my senior lab Cooper. I hope he would be interested in the future for long weekends etc. Thank you Morgan!!!”


“There is nothing Anissa could have done better. She was a perfect house sitter for our 2 dogs. She is an excellent listener and very attentive to the dogs needs. Its nice to leave town and not have any anxiety that the pets aren't in the best hands.”


“Casey was fantastic! I appreciated her communication ahead of tome and pre-meeting us and then updates and pictures throughout the visit. Will definitely be scheduling again!”


“If I could leave a 10 start review, I would! We left our 16 week old golden retriever puppy for the first time and Sydnee took all of the stress out of the experience. We were gone for a week and while we were away we received photos of our pup & frequent updates. She took great care of our home too. I can’t recommend her enough - we will absolutely reach out to work with her again.”


“Krystal did a great job on short notice and took care of my babies, I like that she would take pictures and share them with me, extra special attention, thank you”


About: As a pet owner (cats, dogs and hamsters), I am offering the same care I looked for when I had pet sitting needs—dependability and love for pets. I work full time remotely so I’m flexible during the week. I do travel with my job and many of my weekends are full. I will keep my schedule updated so times are known when I can help. I am willing to watch your dog or cat at your house. I currently have a friendly cat but he doesn’t understand not all dogs love him. If I watch your dog at my house, the dog would need to meet my cat first to make sure they are ok. I do have a fenced in yard.

“Nadia went above and beyond. She took our pup paddle boarding & on a hike. I think our dog has a new best friend! Nadia left our apartment sparkling clean. I highly recommend booking with her!”


“Mykala was amazing! Our pets were not great for her - the cats created havoc while she was at work, knocking things over and breaking things as cats sometimes do. She handled the situation in a very professional manner. She was very responsive and we always felt that our pets were in great hands. We would hire her again in a heartbeat.”


“April was wonderful. She responded to all of my texts in a timely manner. My dogs seemed at ease with her. She sent many texts and pictures while I was gone to let me know they were ok. I would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs. I would definitely use her again.”


About: I have lived and cared for dogs for about 15 years. Let me take care of your furry friend! I have a golden retriever of my own. We will have a great time! I am working part time. So I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule to check on your furry friends if they need to be walked, fed or let out to go to the bathroom. I typically take my own dog for a walk in the mornings and have some play time in the afternoon. I have a fenced in yard front and back of my house. I have extra leashes if you forget yours! I have plenty of room for dog beds in my house.

“Patti was awesome! The best dog sitter we’ve had, communicated throughout our whole trip, sent lots of pictures and videos and updates! Will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future! If you need someone who cares she’s your girl! Thank you so so much for taking care of my babies!”


About: Throughout my life I have cared for two cats and a Bichon-Frise/Poodle Mix. I was involved in caring for my dog from the day he came to us: showing him how to use stairs within those first couple of days and teaching commands for the next couple of years. Inevitably he aged, and over time I developed a familiarity with handling the many facets of caring for an aging dog: arthritis, anxiety, mobility challenges, and mood shifts. I learned the tricks for keeping him calm in the car, and those for getting him to take his medications. In all those years I consistently played with him in our fields, took him for walks, and ignored his grouching when I bumped him in his sleep. I love all animals very much, but as an innately energetic person, and as someone who is convinced (like most) that I had the best dog in the world, I find I bond most quickly and most deeply with dogs. I would be thrilled to meet yours. I am a recent college graduate looking for work while I job search. During the day I apply to jobs on my computer. Then, at night, I apply to jobs on my computer. My schedule is almost entirely open. In general I do my best to follow the pet's pace/lead, prioritizing the animal's comfort whenever possible. I follow provided schedules in a regimented manner, and if a schedule is not provided, then I will develop one myself. I take things like medication management and potty breaks very seriously, aware that when an owner is gone, pets are often stressed, and this stress can exacerbate pain and/or behavioral struggles. Regardless of the weather I am always happy to move and be active, so regular walks/exercise with pets is no trouble. As a pet lover, quality time is never an inconvenience either. I am more than thrilled, if your pet is more of a lounger than a runner, to just sit with them and relax.

About: I have experience taking care of several different types of animals; including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and reptiles. My own pets are all rescues; they have taught me the best ways to care for animals who can be timid, fearful, aggressive, or wanting constant attention. My miniature pinscher has diet restrictions as well, and when I first adopted him I had to administer medications. Whatever your pets needs, I am happy to make sure they are completely taken care of. I'll always make sure to update you with photos, so you can feel comfortable that your pet is getting the play time and cuddles that they deserve! I am super excited to spend my days with your fur babies! I am currently working a very flexible part time job. The rest of my life is spent with my own animals, but I always find myself with extra time; I'd love to devote that to giving your pet all of the love, attention, and comfort that they deserve while they're apart from you. I have 4 pets of my own, two dogs and two cats. They're all used to being around other animals, and are super excited to make new friends! I am not currently able to offer stays in my home, but if you would like for either of my dogs to come spend time with yours, just feel free to let me know and we can have a meet-and-greet! For Drop-Ins: While I’m at your home, I will take care of the basics such as food & water, outside potty-time, cleaning the litter box, giving your pets love and attention, and playing any of their favorite games with them! On top of that, I can administer medications or supplements they may need, keep an eye on any health concerns, take them on short walks, work with them on any training you’ve been doing, or anything else they may need. I also offer Bath & Brush, Nail Clippings, or 30 minute walks for a small extra charge. 😊 For Walks: I have experience with all sizes of dogs, as well as cats. If you are currently working on any training, commands, positive reinforcement with treats, etc. I will make sure to use those while on the walk to give you and your fur baby the best experience! I have trained all of my animals myself, so I understand the importance of consistency if you are working on training. I can walk them around in all their favorite places, giving them the chance to enjoy the smells and fresh air. If there is a dog park nearby that they enjoy, we can go there as well! Just let me know where they enjoy the most!

“Kinsay was great! My dog can be a handful at times and she did so well with her. Updated with texts and photos. I would definitely have her back and recommend her!”


About: I’ve had first hand experience in training and taking care of one client’s dog from daily walks and bathing and grooming. I absolutely love dogs and want to expand more! I’m currently working part time. I am also a single mom. I’m available on Mondays during school hours, during the week in the afternoon/evening as well as the weekends. I will provide safe environment for your dog! There is also a dog park nearby. So you can count on daily walks or runs! Any selfies we take will be sent to you! :D
