“Sarah did wonderful with our golden retriever! She went above and beyond to make sure all of our needs were met. She is very attentive to the details we provided and made sure our dog was well cared for. I would recommend her any day. We will certainly book with Sarah in the future!”



“Daisy was a great Dogsitter for our puppy Archie this week. She stayed at our home and took great care of him, walking him, feeding him, cleaning up after him, and even playing with him at the park every day. She communicated with us every day and sent us photos, and she also look nice care of our home. We came back to a very happy Archie and a perfect home. We will definitely use Daisy again and recommend her!”


About: I have taken care of many types of pets ever since I was 13, either my home pets, neighbor's cats and dogs, and even at the humane shelter during highschool. I am currently working part time and would love to meet and care for your furry family members, treating them as if they were my own. I am currently unavailable Saturday evenings or Sundays, but if I have the time, I will gladly give some to your furry companions. Currently, I can only board cats. My dogs are super friendly with cats and kittens of all sizes, since they were raised by one. My kittens also get along with other cats, but they have their own room they can play in if your cat doesn't get along well with others.

About: I’ve had pets for as long as I can remember. It is so important that they stay happy and healthy. Nothing is better than getting greeted at the door by your fur baby. I can stay over night at houses, walk your dog, and let the dog outside whenever I possibly can through the day. Weekends work best for me. I waitress on the weekend for about 4 hours a day and other than that I can be with your baby for the rest of the day. Week days are harder with a busy class schedule but it certainly can be done! I will follow any instruction that you may have on how to care for your pet. You name it, I will have it done. There isn’t anything off of the table when it comes to tasks for your pets.

About: I have loved animals ever since I was a kid. I am very patient, willing to work that a variety of different animals, and greatly enjoy making your pet feel loved.

“Devin was absolutely wonderful with my two girls. It usually takes my two girls a little while to trust someone and when she came over for the meet and greet, they trusted her right away. I will absolutely use her in the future.”

About: Having grown up with dogs my whole life, I have gained extensive hands-on experience and know exactly how to take good care of them. I love animals and enjoy taking them on long walks, playing with them, and ensuring they’re happy and healthy. I currently work part-time at Brekky’s coffee shop, where we always close in the afternoons. So, after 3:00 PM, I am always available to walk dogs. My schedule varies weekly — sometimes I work early mornings and can’t walk dogs beforehand, while other times I start later and have more free time. Because my schedule changes frequently, daily communication would work best for me. I’m very flexible and responsive when it comes to updating and managing those changes I have a fenced yard — it’s small but secure, perfect for dogs to play in. I live right behind Morningside University, which gives me access to many great places to walk dogs. I share a house with my boyfriend and roommates; we have separate rooms in the basement, providing plenty of space for dogs to stay overnight comfortably..

About: I've never met a dog that doesn't end liking me. I usually take care of my sisters dogs when needed vet trips and all goodies I'm currently working part time twice a week until the end of September. My schedule is very flexible, when you need me just call me We go for walks I'll have them on leash, play with them in your yard always having an eye on them, water and feed them

About: I am wife and mom to 2 little girls and mom to 2 dogs and a handful of fish :) I have had cats since I was a kid and have been crazy about animals ever since. As an adult, I got my first dog and then another. My husband and I have been through basic, intermediate, and advanced training with each of our dogs. I have watched family and friend’s pets in the past as well as volunteered at the shelter in town—one of my dogs came from that very shelter! I am an all-around animal lover. I am the person that pulls over for any type of animal I see running around, and I always seem to have strays find me looking for their way home. I currently work from home 50-75% of the time, so I am available for short periods throughout the day for walks or potty breaks. My weekends can be available for more care. I am open to 24 hour house sitting or just drop ins/walks. I will be unable to care for dogs in my own home, because one of my dogs is scared of other dogs. In your home, I will be sure to follow the schedule you have given and clean up as needed. I am happy to have a lazy day inside or throw the ball around outside! If your pets like kids, my girls would love to give them some attention as well!

To walking them (not when it’s cold as Antarctica out) but I am willing to hang out with them and play! Currently pet care is my everyday job!

I respect everything in the house, if dog/cat makes a mess.. i will clean it up. You need me to help around the house, i ca. i used to clean houses.. i will leave your house in same condition or better when you come back home to your safe place!

About: Hi!!! I’m a Freshman College student looking for something to do in my spare time. I have many animals of my own and have have plenty of experience raising and training animals. I always say that I get along with animals better than humans but who knows lol :) I personally have two wonderful cats and a very old lab that I spend more than half my day with. Every morning I make sure they have food and water and while I may not have an extensive food routine for them they do get their occasional healthy meal every so often so that they don’t only get dry food. I have a fenced yard and two indoor cats. I don’t personally use a crate but I can easily stick to that routine if needed

About: I have been caring for all kinds of dogs since I was 15. From Chihuahuas to Mastiffs. I never cared for a Great Dane but I hope to one day run into one! Currently I can care for a pet 24/7. I run 2 times a day and love to play with dogs. Im studing online so when I need a break I choose to take the puppies outside and play. I make sure to show patience with every dog especially if they are young. They don't know what's going on and the world is so big! I consistently keep their attention in order to have them adapt to all kinds of situations.

About: I am great with dogs. I absolutely love them and will keep them occupied and above all, happy. Trips to the off leash dog park happen often and snuggles are always appreciated. I love to run, play fetch, give belly rubs and teach new tricks. I will make sure each of your pups gets real one on one time and maybe learn a new trick to impress mom/dad!! I hope you contact me to take care of precious pups while you have to be away from them. I’m very excited to meet them! I currently work part time so I will have plenty of time for your pups! My schedule at work changes weekly so scheduling may be a couple hours off. A weeks notice is best to ensure prompt service. I have a very easy going attitude. I am calm and alert. Your pets 100% care is of the utmost importance to me. Potty breaks happen immediately upon arrival and love, play, and attention is never held back. I hope to become a great friend to your pet and they will be eager to see me again!

Robert S.
“Robert will care for your pets like they're his own. He has cared for my dog Bear many times. Bear is older and has medication and supplements to take, which Robert always carries out without issue. Bear has arthritis, and a big furry coat, and Robert is very patient with his slower gait (especially in the summer when he slows wayyy down, and sometimes just wants someone to sit outside and chill with him). I'm very confident in his care and can't say enough good things. Last time they hadn't seen each other in awhile, Bear greeted Robert with the longest, sweetest hug. Robert loves pets, and they love him back. Hire him, he's awesome!”
