“Kristina was a lifesaver when our usual dog sitter had to cancel last minute due to a health emergency. Kristina was available on short notice and even made time to come meet our dog Lorenzo a few days ahead to get him comfortable with her, and learn his routine and care needs. After that brief visit and her warm and patient approach with him, he took to her, and we felt completely at ease knowing he was in great hands. She kept us updated on how he was doing during the day and took great care of him. We will definitely be using Kristina again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for help with their pet!”
“Absolutely incredible. I needed a sitter for my pup last minute and Jess went out of her way above and beyond to squeeze in a meet and greet as well as watching my furbaby. Super sweet, punctual, great communication and absolutely love and care for my furbaby. Highly recommend and would definitely rebook with when needed.”
“We went away for 10 days to Portugal, which was the longest we ever have been away from our dogs. Rose made us feel much better with her excellent care. She sent countless updates, pictures, and videos. I can tell my dogs were happy and relaxed. She followed our instructions exactly and left our home exactly how she found it. We will use her again!”
About: I have owned dogs almost all my life and treat them as though they are my family. I have dealt with dogs who have to take medicine and dogs with different medical conditions. I have taken care of dogs of many different sizes from pugs to huskeys. I currently take care of my childhood dogs that live with my mother when she goes away. I am currently an unemployed college student, so over the summer I have all the time in the world to play, walk, and care for your pets! I will make sure that your pets follow all your house rules from putting them in a crate or not being allowed to use furniture.
“Ava stepped up for us last minute when previous arrangements fell through. She is kind and considerate and wanted to make sure Tucker and Zeke had the best time while I was gone. I came home to a tidy house and she even stripped the sheets off the bed she slept in. I was not expecting that. I got daily photos of each dog while I was away, but I know deep down they did not miss me 🤣. I would reach out to her again.”
“Jess was wonderful with our golden retriever! She was prompt, efficient and communicative which eased any worry we had. I would definitely recommend Jess for any dog service you need!”
“Linda is absolutely amazing! She watched our two dogs for a week and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was super flexible, easy to communicate with, and so sweet with our boys. It was clear she genuinely cared about them and treated them like her own. We came home to happy dogs and a cleaner house than how we even left if (after cleaning people!)— total peace of mind the entire time. Can’t thank her enough! Highly recommend and will definitely be booking with her again. 💛🐾”
About: I have taken care of my family friends dogs for years, often ranging from elderly mini poodles to energetic border collies. I also have my own dog, however, because I am away for college she is currently not with me. I am also a Division 1 Athlete so I love taking them out on walks and having fun with them. I am available on mornings of weekdays and all day on weekends, because I am a full time student-athlete. In addition, late evenings of weekdays work well for me as well. I will often take pets on walks and make sure they get adequate exercise. Having a pet of my own, I understand how important nutrition is to your pets and will follow whatever plan you have for them. In addition, I also acknowledge how important it is to have a clean pet, and can wash your pet.
“John was excellent. He went above and beyond in every respect. We give our highest recommendation. John not only was very conscientious with our 2 dogs but also cleaned up our yard after the storm, hung our flag and fixed our trellis! We will definitely be booking again!”
About: I've spent my whole life surrounded by pups and animals. I love having them around & I know how great it feels to come home to a happy dog. I've watched over several of my friends & family dogs/cats as well as fostered dogs for 2 years, and would love to help you feel great about leaving your animal home while work or need some time out! I currently work remote and am therefore pretty flexible as long as there is wifi.. I can stay how ever long is needed and/or visit as often as you'd like! I'd be willing to care for pets at the client's home, up to the parent's wishes. I can play with them outside, take them on long walks, keep them company, whatever makes the client comfortable.
“Andrea did such a wonderful job with our boys. We have a dog and a cat, and they both clearly loved spending a whole week with her. She had great communication, sending us photos throughout the day to keep us up to date. She was also incredibly respectful of our home, leaving it in perfectly clean condition for our arrival. We never worried about our boys throughout the week, which is the most we can ask for! Thank you Andrea!”
About: Hello, my name is Anna, and I’m a dedicated and experienced dog caregiver with a lifelong passion for animals. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of owning and caring for three wonderful dogs—a Bichon Frise, a Lab mix, and a Pitbull—each of whom taught me something unique about loyalty, love, and responsibility. My Experience I have hands-on experience managing all aspects of dog ownership, including training, daily walks, vet appointments, and all related care expenses. I'm comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes and am confident handling multiple dogs at once. Whether it’s a high-energy pup or a gentle senior, I tailor my care to each dog’s individual needs. I work full-time, but pet care is a meaningful part of my life and something I make time for. I’m available for evening walks, weekend dog sitting, and flexible drop-ins. Caring for animals brings me joy, and I always ensure they get the attention and love they deserve, no matter how busy life gets. In my home, pets stay in a safe, clean, and loving environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I follow their usual routine to help them feel at ease. In a client’s home, I respect your space and stick to your pet’s schedule—feeding, walking, and giving them the love and attention they’re used to. Wherever your pet is, I care for them like they’re my own.
About: I currently own a mixed breed dog who is 14 years old. I also currently own a 20 year-old Bengal cat and 7 year-old Siamese cat. I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life and have plenty of pet experience. I am recently retired so I have the time to take care of your pet(s) when you need a reliable dog/cat sitter or dog walker. I can come to your home for drop-in visits while you are at work or away on vacation. I can also come and walk your dog if you are away from home for extended hours.
About: Hi there! My name is Paige, and I’ve never known a life without dogs. Since I was around 6, I’ve been helping out around the house with pet-related chores. My passion and love for animals has shaped me as a human being, and I can’t wait to give your furry best friend all my love. :) I currently work part time, leaving me with lots of free time to care for your furry friend! No need to worry about me cancelling last minute! Ever since I was born, there has been a dog in the house. I was taught at a young age to care for and unconditionally love animals. Your pets safety is of utmost importance to me. When I am taking care of your pet I am alert, aware, and focused.
About: I’ve been around dogs of all shapes and sizes for most of my life, and honestly, I think they’ve raised me more than I’ve raised them. When people say there’s nothing better than a dog, they’re absolutely right unless that dog just ate your sandwich or rolled in something “mysterious” at the park. Still, I’d do anything to give my dogs the best life possible. They've brought me so much joy, unconditional love, and a healthy fear of leaving food unattended. Some of my best memories (and worst carpet stains) have come from having them by my side. Availability: July 13 - July 20 Friday: 7:30 PM – 11:00 PM Saturday: Open Availability Sunday: Open Availability Availability: August 3 - August 10 Friday: 7:30 PM – 11:00 PM Saturday: Open Availability Sunday: Open Availability As a dedicated dog owner, I am always fully aware of my dogs' locations at all times. No matter the service request, I will prioritize their safety above everything else. Their well being is my top priority, and I am committed to ensuring they are secure and protected in every situation.
About: I may be new to pet sitting, but I have real-life experience caring for my own three dogs and a cat. I’m familiar with daily routines, managing different personalities, and giving pets the love and attention they need. I’m patient, dependable, and treat every pet like my own. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine since I care for my own pets every day. I’m used to early feedings, regular walks, playtime, and cleaning up after them. I enjoy being around animals, and I’m happy to fit pet sitting into my schedule—whether it’s mornings, evenings, or weekends. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s, their safety and comfort come first. I make sure the environment is clean, secure, and free from hazards. I follow feeding routines, keep a close eye on behavior, and always respect any special instructions. I aim to create a calm, loving space where pets feel safe, relaxed, and right at home.
About: I am an employee of a well known private shelter, so I have a lot of experience with many different types of animals including (but not limited to), puppies, old dogs, dogs with special needs, dogs with medication, post-operation dogs, and many many more. I am also training to become a veterinary technician, so i have a bit of experience with veterinary medicine. I do have a part time job, but my schooling is fully on my own schedule, so i can work around my work schedule very easily. I work from 4-8 every night except Monday and Wednesday and I work Saturday mornings from 8-4 I can provide walks, food on any schedule, playtime, medication, and any other needs your pet may have. As intimidating as they may seem, I love working with puppies and I will provide them as much attention and care as they may possibly need.

Jeanne S.
“Jeanne has been a very caring and conscientious sitter for our two sweet dogs. She always makes sure their leashes are secure and brings water and snacks if the walk is more than just around the block. She is very caring and considerate of both the animals and their parents, and is always ready to take the time for a belly rub or behind the ears. She's always happy to play with them as much as having the fur babies sit, lie down, and stay!”

Dakota W.
“They did an amazing job taking care of my very energetic dog while I was away. My dog is super hyper and full of energy, but Dakota handled him with patience and care. One of the things I appreciated most was how they managed his medical needs. My dog needed topical medication applied to a sensitive area. I could tell my dog was comfortable and well cared for. I came home to a happy, healthy pup, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. Truly a responsible, attentive, and compassionate sitter!”

She will always go above and beyond to make sure he's happy; walks, pets, playing, you name it, she showers him with attention and treats him as if he were her own dog. She can get along with any dog and of any size. My dog is big and she handles him so well. It's great knowing that I can rely on her and don't have to worry about a thing when she is there!”

I know I can always rely on Anna to take care of Willow.”
Nancy Q.
“Nancy is the loving pet owner of a 14 year old dog , a 19 year old cat , a 7 year old cat, and a turtle that she took in when a friend couldn’t care for it any longer. When Nancy and I married she took in my 6 year old German Shepherd Jackson and treated him as one of her own pets. Jackson was unfortunately diagnosed with degenerative myelopathy and Nancy provided constant care with helping him get around the house and up and down the stairs, taking him to physical therapy, and just keeping him happy. Nancy is a great and loving pet parent and is a very responsible person.”

Anna A.
“Anna has years of experience of caring for pets working at the animal shelter. She pays attention to detail and special needs of those pets she takes care of. Our Indy is terrified of most everyone and has terrible anxiety. She gains a little more of his trust each time he sees her. He is taking treats from her and giving her kisses. That make us very happy. Our experience in having Anna take care of our pups was a wonderfully pleasant one. We left them in perfectly capable hands. Our dogs absolutely love her. She is knowledgeable and experienced, nurturing and comforting. Anna will be an excellent asset to your team.”
