About: With 17+ years of pet care experience, I’ve earned the trust of friends and family by providing reliable, loving care for dogs and cats of all ages. Whether it’s daily walks, playing fetch, or giving special care to seniors or puppies, I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I love animals, and I love sending pup reports to keep owners updated on their pet’s adventures! As I work part-time, I have a schedule that allows me to provide pet care. Whether it's walks, playtime, or special attention for puppies and senior pets, I can easily fit pet care into my routine. I make sure to prioritize your pet's needs, offering personalized care at times that work best for both of us. I provide pet care in both my home and your pet’s home, depending on what works best. At my home, I ensure a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of space for playtime and relaxation. I offer cozy resting areas, along with time for fetch or cuddles. When caring for pets in your home, I maintain their familiar routines, ensuring they feel at ease while you’re away. I prioritize daily walks, feeding schedules, and lots of love and attention, making sure your pet feels safe and well-cared for in their own environment.

“I cannot say enough good things about Stephanie! She was available last minute to take our Australian shepherd Fig for multiple walks. Fig is high energy and Stephanie made sure to walk her for a full hour - I know she was good and tired afterwards! She sent me lots of updates, pictures and even a video of their walk! Fig also has hip issues we were already aware of - but Stephanie was observant and kind enough to comment about it in case we weren’t! I felt completely comfortable and reassured with Stephanie stopping in to care for Fig and would recommend her to anyone needing care for their fur baby!”


About: I cared for my own two cats for over 5 years (they’ve since passed), and I’ve always loved being around animals. I’ve lived with dogs, thanks to dog-loving roommates and family, and I’ve dog-sat for friends on and off for many years. I’m an expert cuddler, feeder, walker, and all-around caretaker. Whether your pup loves playtime or prefers a calm, cozy environment, I’ll treat them like family. I’m especially great with affectionate dogs and seniors who need a little extra care and patience. Your pet will get plenty of love, attention, and belly rubs while you’re away! (Additional note: I'm happy to board larger dogs, as long as they're older and super mellow. As a short woman, I just want to make sure I can stay in control on walks, and because I have small kids at home, I’m mindful about having dogs who won’t jump up or accidentally knock them over.) I’m home all day, and with the kids at school from 8:30–5:30, your pup will have plenty of time to relax, play, and enjoy lots of love and attention! Doggy Daycare: Happy to host your dog during the day with plenty of cuddles, company, and walks. Overnight Stays: I also offer overnight care for calm, easygoing dogs who are comfortable around young kids (we have a 2 and 5 year old). In my home, your dog will be treated like family! They’re free to roam the house, lounge on the furniture, and cuddle up with us. We have a large, almost fully fenced yard with plenty of space to explore and play (while we keep a close eye during outside time just in case). We also have great walking paths nearby for daily strolls. Whether it’s playtime, nap time, or cuddle time, your pup will get lots of attention and love throughout the day.


“Kathy again gave us a 5-star dog visit! Her communication is flawless, our dogs say they love her visits, and we are always comfortable knowing our dogs are in her care.”


“Mandy is great with my dogs! She was very patient and had good suggestions for meeting my dog who is reactive to strangers. Showed true care for my pup when I was away.”


About: Hi, I'm Anna, I have over 20 years experience caring for dogs and cats (I currently have a 15 yo cat named Ms. Cleo) from puppies and kittens to the very elderly and everything in between. I believe that a pet is part of the family, and as such I will take care of your pet as you do and expect. I'm currently finishing up a job contract at the end of the month that is not renewing. I would like to fill my time with taking care of your pet(s) as I figure out what my next steps will be in terms of full time employment. I always follow pet care instructions to a T. If I have questions I don't hesitate to ask. If I'm caring for your pet in your home, I make it a practice to leave your home in better condition than when I came in (ie do dishes in the sink, bring in the mail, water plants if told to).

“Wendy was everything we could have asked for! Poppy met her for the first time and walked out the door like she knew her! We look forward to more walks with Wendy :)”


“Hilary was responsive and a huge relief of support when we needed a dog walker. When I got home my dogs were happy and it was clear they got a good walk during the day. I will definitely book again.”


About: Hi! I’m Chelsea — a lifelong animal lover with a flexible schedule and lots of experience caring for pets. I’m available for in-home dog and/or cat sitting, day care and walks. I grew up in a home full of animals and got my start in pet care helping my family raise an assistance dog through Canine Companions. We’ve also fostered dogs for the program over the years, which taught me a lot about patience, training, and how to make animals feel safe and loved in any environment. During Graduate School a few years ago, I pet sitting regularly and absolutely love the chance to care for animals while people are away. I’m currently job hunting, so I have a very flexible schedule and can be home with your pets during the day — perfect for animals who love companionship. I’m also active and outdoorsy, so your pups can count on regular walks and playtime. Please feel free to reach out with any questions — I’d be happy to chat! Wide open during the week for all kinds of care! Available most weekends this summer for pet sitting. Open to booking ahead or last minute requests. I prioritize a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment, following each pet’s routine closely to help them feel safe and comfortable. I give lots of love, keep a close eye on behavior, and make sure they get plenty of play, rest, and attention.

“Victoria is great! She is my go to dog walker. She is very responsive, punctual, and caring with my 2 year old dog. I love the pics she sends me after walks too”


About: Hi, I'm Kiersten! I’ve always loved animals and grew up with dogs and cats! My family rescued a Rottweiler and later a Pitbull-Lab mix, so I've got a soft spot for rescues and big dogs with even bigger hearts. These days I love spending time with my mom's chocolate lab and you bet I'm saying hi to every dog I pass on the sidewalk! I offer dog walking, drop-ins, and house-sitting, and I especially love adventuring with dogs, from long walks around the neighborhood to exploring trails and parks. I don’t have a pet of my own right now, so I pour all my energy into making sure your furry friend feels loved, happy, and engaged whenever we’re together. I’m caring, reliable, and happy to follow your pet’s routines, give them plenty of attention, and treat your home with respect — leaving it even better than I found it. My goal is to make every visit fun, safe, and stress-free for both you and your pet! As a full-time online student, my schedule is very flexible, which means I can fit pet care naturally into my day. I can provide walks, drop-ins, or house-sitting at consistent times that work for you, and I’m happy to adjust to your pet’s routine. With plenty of time on my hands, I can give your furry friend the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I care for pets in their own home so they feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs, while making sure your pet gets plenty of attention, companionship, and exercise. I treat your home with respect and make sure everything stays clean and organized while I’m there.

“Melizza was awesome with our senior dog! She used the stroller for daily walks so he could enjoy the outdoors and hang out with people. She kept us updated with pics and messages, so we always knew how he was doing. We felt super comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend Melizza for caring, reliable pet care!”

Malvika A.
“can’t recommend Malvika enough! My dog was going through an anxious period and needed a lot of extra care — frequent walks, reassurance, and patience. Malvika was incredibly attentive and hands-on the entire time. She didn’t just take care of the basics — she truly showed up for my dog emotionally, which made all the difference. Thanks to her calm presence and consistent support, my pup was able to get through a tough stretch feeling safe and loved. I’m so grateful for her!”

Chelsea A.
“I have known Chelsea since she was little and she is great with dogs! She comes from a dog family who is active with CCI puppy raising and breeders (cci.org). So she has above average knowledge of training and management of dogs. That to me is the most important skill when it comes to caring for dogs. Most anyone can put food out, make sure the water is fresh and be dependable to show up - but it is understanding the dog's personality and ability to communicate with them that makes Chelsea valuable. Having dogs myself, I only want folks who "speak canine" to care for my critters when I am away. It is safer and happier for my dogs. Chelsea would be top on my dog sitter list.”


Victoria D.Star Sitter

“Victoria is great! She is my go to dog walker. She is very responsive, punctual, and caring with my 2 year old dog. I love the pics she sends me after walks too”


Kiersten K.
“My chocolate lab loves Kiersten and is always excited to see her. She has watched him several times and he has always been well cared for. She is a true animal lover and I have no doubt she will take great care of anyone’s canine companion.”
