About: I have worked as a vet assistant and groomer. Pets have been a part of the family for my whole life, everything from bearded dragons and guinea pigs to a wonderful St. Bernard. I might actually be part cat. I'm a stay-at-home mom. Every morning I give the insistent critters their breakfast and some play time before letting the dogs out. Play and cuddle time happens all day. There is a big basket of toys for both dogs and cats in the living room and jars of treats are scattered around the house. Our yard isn't fenced yet, but there is a runner and the yard is surrounded by woods. We're also on a dead end road, so there's no traffic. The cats have litter boxes in the basement, with a cat door for access. That gives them a bit of privacy, the dogs aren't allowed down there. The cats also have a water fountain and food bowls high enough that the dogs can't reach.

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with 3+ years of experience caring for cats and dogs for friends, family, and neighbors. I have two dogs and a cat of my own, so I understand just how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pets. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a long walk, or a cozy drop-in visit, I’m here to make sure your furry family members feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Their comfort and happiness are my top priority—because when they’re happy, I’m happy too! Pet care fits perfectly into my routine! This summer, I’m working just three days a week, which gives me plenty of flexibility and free time to dedicate to caring for your pets. Once school starts again, my schedule will be even lighter, so I’ll have consistent availability throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and quality cuddle time. I love spending my downtime with animals—it’s genuinely one of the most rewarding and joyful parts of my day. Whether it’s early morning, mid-day, or evening visits, I’m more than happy to work around your pet’s needs and routine! When caring for pets in a client’s home during drop-ins and walks, my goal is always to make your pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their familiar environment. During drop-ins, I’ll make sure your pet has fresh food and water, clean up any messes, and spend quality time with them—whether that’s playing, cuddling, or just keeping them company. For walks, I ensure your dog gets the exercise, mental stimulation, and potty breaks they need, always keeping safety a top priority. I tailor every visit to your pet’s routine and personality, so they feel calm and cared for while you’re away.

About: Hi, I’m Lindsey! Over the past 25years, I’ve had the joy of caring for pets, and it’s been an incredibly rewarding experience. I believe pets are family, and finding the right person to look after them while you’re away is crucial. I take this responsibility seriously and approach every pet with the same love and care I give to my own. Caring is embedded in my nature and when I'm not loving on my pets or caring for others fur babies, you can find me working as a nurse. I'm currently the owner of a special needs dog and feel comfortable caring for those pets that need a little extra care. Ask me about my pet wedding service I offer! As a nurse, I have a flexible schedule that allows me the freedom to have days off with no work obligations so I can give my full attention to caring for your pet. I know that ensuring your pet has a safe environment with someone they trust is of utmost importance, so a meet and greet prior to confirming services is required. I tailor my approach based on the unique needs of each pet and their owner. When caring for pets in my home, I offer a safe and comfortable environment with ample space to play, opportunities to potty and protected sleep space. My pets are used to a structured environment, which allows them + visiting pets to settle into the new arrangement with ease. In your home, I focus on maintaining the familiar routines and surroundings that keep your pets comfortable. I follow any specific instructions you provide and adapt to your pet's habits and preferences, ensuring they feel secure and loved. My experience has equipped me with the skills to accommodate a variety of needs, whether it’s sticking to a feeding schedule, administering medication, or providing extra attention and care. Overall, my goal is to provide seamless care for your pet so they feel safe, secure and calm while their owner is away. Daily updates with pics or videos will be sent to ensure the owner feels safe, secure and calm while they are away as well! Prior to your departure, a plan for emergencies will be discussed and I will ensure I have all necessary phone numbers and contact information.

About: I've had cats, dogs, geckos, and fish since I was little. Animals have always given me a reason to smile. Making them feel nurtured and loved is what makes pet relationships so meaningful. I miss my dog at home, and I would be honored to meet and care for yours whenever you need a loving sitter! I’m in classes during the day from 10 - 3, but I love a long walk in the morning, around lunch, and in the afternoon. House sitting, walking, and visits are easy for me to manage with my school schedule, so reach out to schedule a visit! I will gladly go for walks and play with pets. I enjoy learning what games they like best and playing those. I also won't shy away from scratches, pets, and cuddles, because we all need them from time to time!

About: Hi there! I am Emily and I am 29 years old and I have had animals my entire life! I have been around all types of animals from dogs and cats to horses and pigs!

Dogs will remained leashed and collared when outside of fenced areas. Parental rules/guidance always prioritized.

“Carol took Nora while we went to the botanical garden. She played with her and kept her safe so we could enjoy our time in the gardens. I wish we could take her with us every time we travel ?”


“Selena was so great to work with! She came over before the actual day I needed her, to go over the "routine" etc. While she was with Bud she was super communicative and checked in with photos and texts. Bud was well taken care for :). She wa also flexible about timing. Would definitely work with Selena again!!”



“Sadie was really sweet! My dog Copper has terrible separation anxiety which intensified during covid. This can be really challenging and difficult to leave him on his own. Sadie really saved the day and Copper immediately loved her. I was also concerned about safety due to Covid, but she was incredibly knowledgeable and safe. I’m so grateful I was able to connect with Sadie and will definitely be asking her to return. Thank you Sadie!”


“Lindsay was great! My dogs love her and she was absolutely amazing with them. She really cares about her clients. She took photos and kept me informed the whole time.”

I am happy to feed them, walk them, give them oral medicine and love on them! I love doing brain games and fun trick training for mental stimulation! I’ll be your pets next best friend! I am currently working part time, and have lots of free time throughout the week for all of the Dogs and Kitties that need some attention! My schedule typically is pretty open so just send me a message if you are looking for a specific day or time! I will always come gentle and give your fur babies time to feel safe with me.

About: I’ve taken care of plenty of family/friends pets for a few years. We have a 1yr old lab and a 2 yr old cat as well. I love to work with puppies on their sit and stays (or really anything you might want assistance with). I can be sure to keep the training going! Nothing is better than a well trained dog! I currently work Monday-Friday but am happy to do evenings/overnights or even weekends for your favorite loved ones! I can also stay overnight during the week as well and go back after I’m out of work if that is ok with you and your pets schedule!! We have a 1 yr old lab who loves to play and is happy to if your pets allow it!

We have a run we can hook them on to play outside if they prefer to not be on a leash. Lastly our favorite place to hangout is in our basement because our big guy can run around and be in a safe place!

“Very responsible animal lover, we got tons of great pictures.”


“Olivia was so great! Meet and greet process went very well, we have 4 cats and all were cared for exactly as asked for. Olivia even went above and beyond and grabbed an extra bag of dry food from the store for our cats gravity feeder because they devoured it long before they should have. Very grateful and will definitely be booking with Olivia again!”
