“Michelle was amazing with our dogs! We couldn't be happier. I would recommend her to anyone!”

“Tamilyn is so wonderful! She was respectful of our home and very attentive to our Ruby. She went above and beyond making sure she was comfortable while we were away. We had great communication with picture updates. I highly recommend her to watch anyone's furbabies! We will definitely be requesting her again!”

Kelsey B.

“Samantha is amazing and so so responsive. She watched our 3 dogs and 2 cats overnight. One of our dogs is a rescue who was previously very abused and extremely afraid of new people. She took her time with him and loved on him, he takes a long time to warm up to people and he laid his head on her lap the first night - this is HUGE!! We will definitely be using her over and over again. Could not recommend her enough!”

Kathryn R.

“Nate was awesome! Sent us furbaby pics daily and loved them when we couldn’t be there to! We highly recommend and will use his services again!”

Nikki G.

“Oceana is a great sitter! She was very empathetic and caring, especially with our senior cat who doesn’t have much time left. She communicated well, and sent us adorable pictures. Thank you, Oceana! You are awesome!”

About: I owned and cared for a variety of animals since childhood. Dogs are my fave but I like them all. I have an associate degree in animal science so I am comfortable with any medical care that might be required for their care as well. I have worked with obedience training and service dogs, though I never received credentials. I am a mom of 2 with a few part time jobs so my schedule is busy but flexible. Some weeks more availability than others. I can do walks, play time, snuggle time, whatever is needed to keep them happy and comfortable. I am able to administer meds etc. as needed.

About: I've always loved pets. When I was 8, I received a book about dog care and breeds and studied it until I'd nearly had it memorized. I got my first dog when I was 11 and trained her myself. When she had puppies (through a certified breeder), I was responsible for de-sensitization and counterconditioning trainings. I love volunteering at the animal shelter while I'm unable to have pets due to my apartment. I can promise to give your pets almost as much love as you do! I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to play with and care for your dog or cat! If I have enough notice (around 3-5 days) ahead of time, I can make most arrangements work! My apartment currently does not allow for pets, so they will not be visiting my personal home but I will care for your pet in your home with your rules! Feel free to leave me as many detailed and personalized instructions as your pet may need :)

About: I've owned animals throughout my life. Currently, I have a lasb/mastiff mix, 3 cats, 4 lizards and a trantula that I share my home with. I'll care for your pet to the best of my abilities and they will always be loved, safe, and protected In my day to day life, my fiance and I share duties in the indie bookshop and creative space that we own. In the mornings, I get ready and take our dog outside. I always pick up the poop and dispose of it - it's a requirement in our townhome community. I then go in and feed the dog and give her any medications and supplements she may be on. Usually, I leave the house and my fiance takes care of her letting her out and taking a walk during the day. We do have a fenced dog park one block over that we frequently visit to let the pup run around off-leash for a bit and play with any other dogs that may be there and/or throw the ball. In the evening, we always go for a nightly walk before bed. Then our dog has a comfy bed at the foot of our bed and some stairs so she can get on the bed and lay with us. Your dog will get the same experience and care as our sweet girl, along with a playmate so boredom won't be an option. All dogs will be on leash outside of the home and waste will be disposed of properly. There's a fenced dog park near by that will allow your dog to run around off leash with our dog, who is very friendly and patient - an older spayed large dog, gentle as can be. Your dog will get the same care and protection as ours including no access to the cat box or open food they can grab, lots of love and attention, access to clean water always, and extra emphasize on anything you tell me your dog needs. I take our pets health very seriously.

“Sierra was great to work with. I came home to happy healthy dogs and a tidy home. She was a great communicator and I felt secure that my boys would be well looked after. Would use her services again.”

About: We are excited to be back watching dogs after maternity leave. We have always had dogs growing up and quickly got our own once married. He is 7 years old and we love going on long hikes, to the lake, and settling down for some evening snuggles! We have two little girls who are obsessed with dogs and ready to play! We have watched dogs through Rover for 3 years now and absolutely love the experience! We are currently a stay at home mom/ remote workers so I would be home with the pet all day except for a few hours at a time if we go to run errands. Your dog will be in the home with us like our own pet! We only kennel if that is the dogs normal home routine Our yard is currently only fenced with a temporary 4 foot fence as we have just built our home so We can currently only take dogs who are safe being let out to the bathroom and to have supervised play time in that setting.

About: I am super flexible and able to cater to any of your dogs needs! I have experience in watching and walking dogs. I am quick to learn and good at following directions. I currently work part time as a waitress, so I am able to fit your pets around my schedule! I work 4 hours at a time at most, and am available every night to care for your dog I am comfortable walking dogs in any neighborhood and for any period of time. I can give frequent potty breaks and crate the pet if needed.

“Austin watched our 3 dogs for 10 days and was great to give us daily reports and pictures. He walked them daily and stayed at our house where he gave them lots of love and attention. We have one escape artist but he was very careful and followed our instructions to keep Cosmo safe. We will certainly hire Austin again!”

“Luckily our cats and dog still like us a bit more than Eva, though it's close! She did a great job taking care of them and it showed. Our kitty recently had spay surgery and Eva handled the meds just right. She even made us muffins!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs most of my life. I’m the first person my family or friends call to come house sit for them so they don’t have to board their animals. I do some light house work, hangout with the animals, and give them lots of love while their parents are away I’m currently a single stay at home mom so my schedule is pretty flexible. I can do weekends or weekdays- let’s try and make it work with your schedule I’ll play with the animals outside as much as possible. Take them on a walks if they do not of great recall and in my free time in between taking care of the animals I do some light house work

About: For more than 25 years, I have dedicated myself to providing exceptional care for pets of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. What started as a lifelong passion for animals has evolved into decades of hands-on experience in pet sitting, dog walking, and overnight care. Over the last 25+ years, I have built a reputation based on absolute reliability, deep empathy, and a thorough understanding of animal behavior. Whether your pet is a high-energy puppy who needs structured exercise, an older companion requiring a gentle touch and strict medication schedules, or a shy rescue who needs time and patience to warm up, I adapt my approach to fit their unique personality. What Sets Me Apart: *Decades of Expertise: With 25+ years of experience, there are very few situations I haven't encountered. I am highly adept at reading animal body language, preventing stressful situations, and keeping pets calm, safe, and content. *Medication & Senior Care Specialization: I am fully comfortable administering oral medications, following precise dietary guidelines, and managing the specialized routines of senior or special-needs pets. *Flawless Reliability & Professionalism: I understand that leaving your pet can be stressful. My priority is your peace of mind. I maintain open communication, provide frequent and detailed updates with photos, and strictly adhere to your home and pet care rules. When your pets are under my care, they aren’t just being looked after—they are treated with the same respect, love, and attentiveness that I would demand for my own. I look forward to giving your furry family members a safe, comfortable, and joyful experience! Full-Time Presence & Flexible Care: Because I work from home full-time, my schedule revolves entirely around being present and available. I am here all day long, which means your pet won’t have to endure long hours of solitude. Working from home allows me to seamlessly blend my professional day with high-quality pet care, ensuring a consistent, reassuring human presence for your furry family member. What This Means for Your Pet: *All-Day Companionship & Supervision: Whether your dog needs frequent potty breaks and a midday walk, or your cat loves curling up next to my laptop, I am around to provide companionship, monitoring, and affection throughout the day. *Strict Routine Adherence: Pets thrive on consistency. Because I don’t have a daily commute, I can strictly adhere to your pet's specific feeding windows, exercise routines, and medication schedules exactly when they expect them. *Perfect for Puppies, Seniors, & Special Needs: Being home all day allows me to easily manage the demanding schedules of energetic puppies who need structured attention, or senior pets who require extra bathroom breaks and close monitoring. *Flexible Breaks Dictated by Their Needs: My workflow allows me to take regular breaks to stretch my legs, play fetch in the yard, refresh water bowls, or simply offer some belly rubs, matching my daily rhythm to your pet's natural routine. Whether your pet is high-energy and needs active engagement or is a couch potato who just wants a human in the room, my work-from-home setup provides a safe, attentive, and highly flexible environment for their care. Uncompromising Safety Backed by Decades of Experience: With over 25 years of pet care experience, safety isn't just a checklist for me—it is an instinct. I understand that entrusting your beloved pet and your home to someone else requires immense trust. My priority is providing a secure, predictable, and hazard-free environment where your pet can relax and thrive, whether they are staying with me or I am visiting them in your home. Because I work from home and am here all day long, your pet is never left unsupervised for extended periods. This constant presence is the ultimate safety net, allowing me to monitor health, prevent separation anxiety, and immediately respond to any needs. Safety Protocol in My Home: *Constant Supervision: Working from home means eyes-on care. Pets are never left to roam unmonitored, and I maintain a highly structured environment to prevent any resource guarding or behavioral friction. *Pet-Proofed Spaces: My home is meticulously organized to ensure all cords, medications, toxic plants, and household hazards are entirely out of reach. *Secure Transitions: Doors and gates are strictly managed. I treat entryways with extreme caution to ensure "door-bolters" have zero opportunity to escape. Safety Protocol in Your Home: *Respect & Discretion: I treat your home with the utmost reverence, maintaining a clean space, securing all locks and alarms, and ensuring your privacy is fully protected. *Strict Adherence to Your Rules: I follow your exact instructions regarding off-limit rooms, crating, feeding, and neighborhood walking routes to keep your pet’s environment completely consistent. *Emergency Preparedness: Before you leave, I gather all emergency contacts, vet information, and preferred animal hospital locations so I am fully prepared for any scenario. Building Trust Through Transparency: I believe that communication is the foundation of trust. I am incredibly accessible. You can expect regular, detailed updates alongside plenty of photos and videos, so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. I care for every animal with the same vigilance, respect, and deep affection that I would demand for my own.

About: I have grown up with many animals in my lifetime from a very young age! I love being able to play and take care of any need they may have! I have taken care of puppies and older dogs with needs. My routine is very flexible so it’s not a problem fitting appointments around in my day for any amount of time! I look forward to meeting so many furry friends! I have two fur babies of my own who are the best friends a girl could ask for! I have watched many of my neighbors dogs growing up and now as they leave on vacations, they will be in great hands waiting for their best friends to get back!

“Took great care of our ‘girls’, very responsive and respectful of our home. Hailey is easy to communicate with and felt so comfortable with her. Highly recommend.”

“Molly went above and beyond to make our dog feel comfortable. She played games either her, brushed her, and took her on walks every day. We appreciated her daily communication with us while we were gone.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, so taking care of them has always been second nature to me. I’m comfortable with all sizes and personalities from playful puppies to older dogs who need a little extra patience.

I make sure every dog feels safe, loved, and cared for, just like they’re my own. I work two part-time jobs, but I still have plenty of time for pet care!
