About: As a Certified Dog Trainer and seasoned privately insured professional with six years of experience handling dogs in the competitive show ring, my approach to pet care is built on a foundation of expertise that extends well beyond standard sitting. My work has involved guiding dogs across all breed groups, from high energy Sporting breeds to the Gentle Giants, using only positive reinforcement and evidence-based methods. I reject the use of intimidation or aversive tools, instead, my techniques are rooted in patience, a deep understanding of canine behavior, and current scientific principles. This extensive background means your pet is never left alone beyond our agreed upon times, nor are they ever exposed to unknown animals or guests without your consent. My training in first aid and CPR ensures I can identify a medical emergency immediately and transport your pet to an ER if necessary, providing you with complete peace of mind. Furthermore, because every interaction is guided by my professional philosophy, you can be confident that no punitive corrections will ever be used on your animal. I specialize in supporting fearful, reactive, and anxious dogs, helping them build confidence through structured, compassionate guidance. Whether maintaining training regimens, socializing puppies, or catering to special needs pets, I tailor every visit to the individual animal’s personality. My years in the show world have also cultivated a sharp eye for canine health, structure, and proper physical conditioning, ensuring your dog receives attentive, knowledgeable oversight. To maintain a safe and healthy environment for everyone, I do not care for pets on raw food diets, as research indicates they can shed pathogenic bacteria at levels that pose a risk to humans and other animals. The well-being of my clients is my priority, and I adhere to strict hygiene protocols to keep everyone happy and healthy. Currently a college student with a flexible schedule, I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing lively walks, enrichment activities, and a low-stress alternative to boarding by keeping them in the comfort of their own home. I look forward to discussing how I can provide your dog or cat with the expert care they deserve. As a student focused on building my pet care business this summer, my schedule is wide open and fully dedicated to my clients. I confirm availability right away and am typically able to accommodate last minute requests. Just ask and I'll let you know immediately. Whether you need early morning visits, evening care, or weekend support, I have the flexibility to be there when your pet needs me. I prioritize fear-free, positive reinforcement techniques tailored to each pet's specific needs, whether that means helping a reactive dog feel secure or keeping a high energy pup happily engaged. My experience includes medical care and rehabilitation, so I follow all protocols precisely, from medications and mobility support to post-op instructions, while keeping you updated throughout every visit. Handling is always low-stress and never forced, and I provide customized mental and physical stimulation through puzzle games, scent work, and enrichment activities. I also conduct quiet environment checks to ensure spaces are pet-proofed and free of hazards. With my background in medical care, I remain vigilant for any health concerns and am fully comfortable with injections, special diets, and post-surgical needs. For house sitting, I maintain your pet's normal routines to minimize anxiety and always leave your home cleaner than I found it.

“A constant 5 star sitter for our cat. They have come in snow rain and hail over the years. If you need a person who will care about your pet and their needs, this is your one stop shop.”

“Second time with Grace and very pleased. She even helped us out by taking a video of storm damage so we could quickly get a tree removal service. So appreciated this. Highly recommend. Love the pictures she sends me of my fur babies (cats). Will definitely use again.”

Jacqueline G.

“Jennifer did not just come over and feed my kitties, she bonded with them my giving extra attention, playtime, and love. We came home to two happy kitty cats and could not be more grateful for what she did as it eased our anxiety and concerns. We will definitely rebook for Jennifer all events and future vacations due to the compassion she exhibited. Thank you for all you did/do.”

“Bruna was absolutely amazing with my puppy, Kaia. From the start, she really took the time to listen and understand Kaia’s needs, and it showed in how comfortable and happy Kaia was in her care. Kaia can be pretty wary of new people, so I was a little nervous at first, but she warmed up to Bruna so quickly, even though they had only met once before at the meet and greet. That says a lot about Bruna’s calm and patient approach. Throughout the entire experience, it was clear that Bruna genuinely cared and paid close attention to what Kaia needed. I could tell Kaia felt safe and well cared for, which gave me so much peace of mind (I was out of town for 1 week). I would absolutely trust her again, and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and attentive sitter.”

About: I had an adult dog for 6 years who unfortunately passed a couple years ago. When he became a senior, it was like I had a whole new dog that I had to learn more about to take care of. He was my best friend, and I miss him a lot. Now that I'm in college, I can't have any pets, but I would love to take care of yours and give you peace of mind knowing that your pet is in loving hands while you're away. This summer I will have lots of free time off from college. I can visit your fur baby whenever you need me to, for walks, feeding, play time, etc! In your home, I will follow all directions you provide and be sure to take care of your pet the way that YOU want them taken care of. We'll play, go on walks, relax, and they will be fed on the schedule that they follow! I'll treat them like my own and make sure they're safe and happy.

“Elizabeth was professional and accommodating. I needed a last minute sitter for my 3 month old puppy and 7 year old lab and she responded fast and we were able to set everything up for the next day. She sends updates and pictures throughout her stay. She was great with both of my dogs and they loved her. I came home and couldn’t even tell anyone was there. I will book with her again in the future!”

“Tara was amazing with our pup Henry! He felt comfortable and happy with her. She kept us updated throughout the stay with photos and messages, which gave us such peace of mind. Highly recommend Tara if you’re looking for someone caring and reliable to care for your pet!”

“We always appreciate how helpful Jahada is and how wonderfully she takes care of our pets while we’re away. Our cat warmed up to her quickly and we loved all the photos. Thank you again!”

About: My entire life I have had a passion for all animals. Growing up I always had dogs. They were mainly large gentle giants. Great Dane, mastiff, newfoundland, boxer, English bulldog, shitzu, Maltese. Each and every one had their own beautiful personality and I clung to every single one. I've been dogsitting for close friends and just word of mouth. I would absolutely love to do more with pets and gain more experience with animals. Currently I have a 1 year old high energy boxer and a 5 year old cat who thinks he is a dog. The dogs I am watching go on walks, hang out in their yard, on cold days i will play with them inside or just sit with them to be company. They get treats for being good boys and girls.

“Thank you for dropping in on my little girl on such a short notice. Very professional and accommodating. The photos were great. Exceeded all expectations. Would highly recommend.”

About: I’ve taken care of foster cats, chicken, and dogs larger than me for over a decade! Folk have often relied on me whenever a safe presence is needed for their animals to gain trust around. I am currently a freelance artist, so I have a lot of free time to take care of your animals! I also adore the outdoors, so any sort of walks around neighborhoods are also a yes! Pets are family, period. They deserve the respect and love anyone else should get, so my approach to mine wouldn’t be any different to yours. Mine are regularly groomed, played with, trained well enough to respond to my voice, the works. They get all the affection and yummy treats as well!

“Amelia was super reliable and kept us updated (with pictures!) each visit with Jax. We are SO happy we found her and will definitely count on her for future dog sitting!”

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs of all ages, including my own. From puppy stage to senior. I’ve been trusted by friends and family to care for their dogs including walks, play time, and any special needs they may have. I work taking care of your pet into my schedule, early mornings or late nights are no issue. I set aside as much time as needed for play, walks etc. I have a very large back yard in a low traffic neighborhood. I have two dogs of my own that are very well behaved and love to play!
