About: I currently have 3 awesome pups! A Jack Russell mix, a pug mix and a Labrador ranging from 13 to 83 pounds. They bring so much joy to my family. Taking care of them is such a joy! I can be incredibly flexible about meeting the needs of my clients accommodating them and their busy schedule is my number one priority. Life can be a headache and I want to relieve that! Pets deserve our respect. They are fun, quirky and playful but their boundaries must be respected. Once the rapport is built, it is a pleasure to build a special relationship with your pet.

About: I’ve cared for family pets, walked neighbor dogs, and worked at Petco, where I learned to connect with animals of all kinds. As a teacher on summer break I have lots of flexibility to do drop-in visits and walks to make sure your dog(s) will get plenty of attention, love, and outdoor time! Also open to pet-sitting. I’m a teacher currently on summer break, so I have flexible availability most days—morning, afternoon, and evening! Whether you need drop-in visits, dog walks, or even pet sitting, I’m happy to accommodate your schedule and make sure your pet gets plenty of care, playtime, and attention whenever they need it. When caring for pets in your home, I treat each animal with the same love, patience, and respect I would want for my own. I will follow all your specific instructions to ensure your pet’s routine stays consistent and comfortable. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, or walks. I make sure to pay close attention to their needs and create a calm and safe environment, providing plenty of affection and companionship so your pet feels happy and secure while you’re away.

“Hannah was so wonderful with my cat Leo. Leo is an anxious kitty and Hannah was really great with caring for him. Definitely will be booking with her again for future trips!”


About: I have had a dog my whole life. I grew up with 1 or 2 dogs and always helped my parents care for them. 4 years ago my husband and I got our own dog, a black lab, who we adore! We often watch family dogs, ranging from puppy to 12 years old. My dog gets along well with all dogs and loves to play! The best part of my day is spent with dogs. I work full time in home health therapy so travel around for my job. I build my own schedule and am flexible with work allowing me to take breaks during the day for pet care if needed. After I get home from work, I walk and play with my dog. My house has a large living room with a box of toys and bones. The pets are allowed anywhere in the house and are allowed on beds and furniture in my home. I understand that not all people allow dogs on furniture and I would always respect that, enforcing the rules set by the owners of the pet. My yard is fenced in allowing for dogs to run freely in the backyard.

“Amy was amazing. She took the time to do everything she could to ensure my dog was cared for safely and met the expectations of the visit. She is a great communicator with clear and concise messaging. She gave very detailed information about the visit - thank you!”

“Aubrey did a great job with our three extra large dogs! You can tell she loves animals and was very comfortable being around them. Aubrey showed up on time, followed our directions and communicated clearly with us! We will definitely use her again! Thank you Aubrey!”


“AMAZING!! Best pet sitter EVER!! Takes fantastic care of my dog and is extremely nice.”


“Allison has taken on our puppy Ash while he is healing from his fractured growth plate in his knee. At only 5 months old and no activity (per Dr's orders) I knew I needed someone to come visit him on longer days that he would be alone. I appreciate her greatly coming to hang out with him for drop ins as he is a puppy and I know he can be psycho sometimes. :)”


About: I've always had a deep love for animals, and I bring that same passion to every pet I care for. I’m an active person who enjoys running and staying outdoors, which means I can keep up with even the most energetic dogs. Whether it’s a brisk walk, a playful run, or a calm cuddle session, I tailor every visit to your pet’s needs and personality. You can trust that your fur baby will be treated with the same care and attention I give my own. I'm currently not working, so I have a very open schedule! I go to the dog park every morning and love staying active, which means I can give your pup the exercise, play, and attention they need throughout the day. I'm available for walks and drop-in visits—just no overnights. When I care for pets, I focus on calm structure, positive reinforcement, and understanding each dog’s unique needs. I’m confident handling dogs of all sizes and energy levels, and I pay close attention to leash behavior—whether your pup pulls, reacts to others, or needs a slower, more relaxed pace. I also visit off-leash dog parks regularly (with owner approval) to give dogs a safe space to run and socialize. I don’t offer boarding, but I’m highly reliable and attentive during walks and drop-ins, and your pet will always be treated with patience, care, and respect.
