About: We've always had fur babies until now. We had to let our last pet cross the rainbow bridge at 17 yrs old. We rescued him when he was 5. Such a sweet boy!! We've also had German Shepherds, a Beagle, Rabbits, and Guinea pigs. Experience with Puppies and Senior dogs. FYI--I tend to be a bit over protective. I was able to retire early, so I'm home ALOT! Home is my happy place. My husband of 31 yrs still works a few days a week but is also home often and loves animals. We have a fenced in backyard with grass areas, and a pool. I'm very protective and would take your baby out front on leash, and out back on leash or under strict supervision, whichever you dictate. We have a large front yard and side yard and live on a quiet dead end street which is perfect for walks. We also have a fairly large home where small dogs can get plenty of indoor exercise. Home is my happy place! I retired early so I'm home most of the time. My husband of 31 yrs still works a few days a week but is home other than that. He loves animals too! I have a fenced in back yard and a large front & side yard. I'm over protective and will keep your pet on leash outside and well supervised.
“Amanda has watched our cat several times now and he’s always very well cared for! She sends plenty of pictures and updates so I know how he’s doing and when we come home I can see everything has been cared for to keep him comfy and happy!”
“Alexa was amazing! She went above and beyond, providing excellent care and even sending adorable photo updates of my cat enjoying his time. Alfie was so happy and relaxed when I got back. She's a true animal lover and a pleasure to work with! Thanks so much for comming to check on Alfie with such a short notice!”
“Ali is the best! She took great care of our kitties, send pictures and left a note! 10/10- would hire again!”
About: I started walking and sitting dogs back in high school and haven’t stopped since! With over 15 years of experience caring for my own pups—as well as helping friends and neighbors—I’ve built a strong foundation of trust, responsibility, and genuine love for dogs. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and great at remembering the little things that make your dog feel safe and happy. Whether it’s a high-energy walk or a calm visit with extra belly rubs, I’m here to give your dog the personalized care they deserve. As a mom with a flexible schedule, pet care is the perfect part of my weekly routine. I love having the chance to get out, enjoy some fresh air, and spend quality time with animals—it’s a rewarding way to recharge and do something just for me. Whether it’s a mid-morning dog walk or a quiet evening check-in with a cat, I genuinely enjoy making pets feel loved and cared for while their people are away. When caring for pets in their own home, I treat their space with respect and follow their routine closely to keep them comfortable and happy. I provide loving attention, playtime, and ensure they get all their meals and medications on time. My goal is to create a calm, safe environment so pets feel secure while their owners are away.
“Jackie did a great job keeping my kitty happy while I was out of town. I really appreciated the pictures each day.”
“Annabelle is the absolute best! She walks our dog and checks on our 2 cats when we are away. Super communicative and the animals absolutely adore her. 10/10 recommend!”
About: All my life I have had animals around me of several sizes, including birds and reptiles. I am always happy and excited to meet a new pet! My dad regularly uses me to house sit for him and his two dogs every months or so and I befriend just about every animal I meet! Me and my girlfriend take care of our cat Smokie together. I currently work part-time as a forklift operator and supplement my other time with Doordash or Rover. I make sure if I'm scheduled for a task, I make the time to be free! My wonderful girlfriend and I have two cats. These animals have very different personalities and are very active with their language. We make sure their water fountain is always running, they have wet food consistent each night and make sure to not over feed them. They are loved tremendously we make sure all their needs are met. Including their outside time! My dad has me house sit for him and his two dogs and one cat. Both dogs are rather large and the cat is mostly outside. I can give dogs and cats oral medication but I am a little out of practice since the last pet I had who needed those meds passed away a couple years ago.
“Mandy accepted a last minute booking when our original plans fell through and did wonderfully with my Dad’s three cats, including one that needed medicated. She took pictures as she could (2 of our cats are skiddish) and updated us when she had to contend with a snowstorm. Overall wonderful pet sitter!”
About: Obviously i love animals but i can also add that i have been a Kennel Tech at an animals hospital for around 3 years. I am very good about time management and showing up when needed I currently am home for the summer and free most days of the week. I would love to come help someone with any animal needs anytime they need. I have 2 animals of my own, a golden doodle named Jax and a cat named Ollie. They are both very easy going but i have a lot of experience taking care of animals for working at the Animal Hospital. I take dogs on walks, feed, give medicine, and anything else that they may need. I have plenty of experience taking care of all sizes of animals.
About: Pretty much never without a dog, Have walked friend and families dogs. Even took taken dogs from owners who could care anymore! Familiar with many breeds ! I am pretty much flexible all afternoons during week days, might be able to do mid mornings, and unless no kids events or traveling Can make time for weekends too! I spoil a little too much! I take my dog to warriors park nearly everyday , try not to go crazy on treats like to keep him healthy!

Melanie B.
“I have known Melanie for over 13 years. She had her Yorkie for 12 yrs, plus two other dogs before we met. She played and cared for my own 4lb. Yorkie many times and treated it with loving, gentle, caring and responsible behavior. I can't say enough for her integrity and trustworthiness. She will put any pets needs above all other. As a pet owner that my dog is my family I never would allow my dog to be boarded and only a few people I trusted enough to let keep my dog, Melanie being one of the best of those persons! I feel her love for dogs, or any pet, would make her ideal for a pet caregiver. To have her care for your pet would truly give you a peace and worry free about how your pet is being treated and cared for!!!!”
