“Kristi took great care of our pets during the holidays. She sent pictures of them to ease our minds.”


About: I have taken care of pets for many years for friends, neighbors, and coworkers. I have cared for dogs, cats, hamsters, and turtles and am willing to care for any type of pet! I am currently in school with in-person classes on Mondays and Tuesdays. I work as a substitute teacher, so I may not be called every day, but if I am, I will be out of work by 3:30 the latest. I prefer to care for pets in your own home because I have a dog at home. I can pop in to check on pets during the day, as well as stay over for a longer period if needed. I will walk and feed pets and make sure to leave a clean house as well.

“Olha was amazing with the dogs and my kitten! She spent the whole weekend with them while my husband and I were out of town and took great care of them. I loved all the pictures!”


About: I’ve been helping take care of people’s pets for as long as I can remember. I love spending time with animals and giving them the care they need amidst your busy schedule. I can’t wait to meet your pet! I love playing fetch, dog walking, and going to dog parks. I also love helping cats exercise their energy through play. My schedule is fairly open as I am only working part time right now. I’m free all day Thursday-Sunday and in the mornings and evenings Monday-Wednesday. If you need a different time, just let me know and I’m sure we can work something out :) I like to leave things better than I found them. If you are trusting me with your pet and your space, I want to do my best to relieve any extra stress you have around pet care by keeping them clean and happy.


“I appreciate Maricel’s reliability so much! She is wonderful with my pups so I don’t have to worry about them when I’m out of the house for extended periods of time. 10/10”


“Love her attention to detail!!”

“Diana did a great job, Penny loved her. We look forward to using her again in the future.”


“Echo recently took care of our dog at our home when we had to be away for several hours. She obviously cares about animals, and our dog quickly became friends with her. We will not hesitate to reach out to Echo the next time we need someone to care for our dog.”


“Kacie did great with our dogs and cat while we were away over the weekend!”



About: I am a retired ER RN. Have always loved dogs of any size. We have three dogs. Mike, Sophie, Billie. Also Three cats. All of our dogs I have trained in obedience and Good Canine Citizen Certification. Mike is a Dalmatian Mix, he was my obedience competitor he did very well. He now has arthritis in both knees, he is now retired. Happy and content in his forever home! Sophie is our beagle mix and is currently training in dog agility. She either gets first or nothing! We have fun trying! Billie our Coon Hound Mix is going to start dock diving locally. I have actually talked my husband into training him! Positive training is the way to be most effective. I used to work 12hr nights and had to depend on neighbors to let my dogs out. I do wish "Rover" was an option then! I do have the knowledge to administer medications if needed oral or injections with my background as a Registered Nurse, Paramedic with 25 years of experience. We also have 3 cats they are all seniors. One is a diabetic and requires checking his blood sugar then giving insulin. Another has thyroid issues and requires oral meds twice a day. I am Red Cross Certified for Cat and Dog First Aid. I adore all animals. Most of all, the safety of your pet is my number one goal! Then having a safe fun walk makes everyone happy! Thank You for taking the time to read this. I am a retired ER RN.I make my own schedule a week in advance. Having a daily schedule because mine change from day to day, nobody ever forgotten. This is a service I do not offer at this time, Mike is our 15 yr old pup loving life with our other two pups.

“Iyshuri was amazing. She took care of our pups just as desired and was super accommodating. Highly recommend to anyone in the area. We will surely be using her time and time again. Thank you so much, from Leia and Vader!”


“Savannah was wonderful to have stay in our home while we were on vacation for 4 days. She took great care of our 3 pups, and they can be quite the handful and very needy! We also had cats that she was comfortable with. She stayed in contact with us and always responded in a timely manner. She even was kind enough to take the trash out for us as we wouldn’t be home for pick up. We would recommend Savannah to care for your animals and trust her in your home. She was very kind and personable which made us feel at ease to leave our pups for a few days. We would love to use her again!”


“If you're looking for someone dedicated to animals, Zachary is your guy! I don't think our pup wanted him to leave. From walks around the neighborhood to a fun outing at the beach - my pup was definitely spoiled. He sent us pictures and updates of their time together. This I greatly appreciated as a nervous dog mom! We've already booked him for our next trip. You won't be disappointed and your pet couldn't be in better hands!”


About: I have been around dogs, cats, and even horses my whole life, putting in the effort to train each other those animals in various ways, yes even the cat! I also spent time in the professional side as a dog bather in a grooming salon. Working in the grooming salon gave me knowledge of breeds and their different care requirements, as well as experience with aggressive/stressed/scared dogs that gives me confidence in dealing with all dogs ranging from saints to troubled pooches, from puppies to seniors. I work overnight shifts, which allows me to be available during the day time to check in on your animals. My main active hours are 6am-11am, and depending on the service, 3pm-10pm I promise you I am quite the direction follower! If there's anything you'd like done for your dog's care, rest assured it'll be done. As I've mentioned, I worked in a professional setting with dogs so I know basic first aid for canines as well as how to handle dogs when their stressed and uncooperative.

“She did a good job I just wish she would of followed directions to clean the dogs feet when bringing him in other than that no complaints”


“Evelyn was awesome! She took such care to spend time with my two dogs in my apartment while I was out of town for the night as one of them has really bad separation anxiety. She administered medication and took them for walks and they were calm. It gave me such peace of mind and I’ll be booking again! Thank you! 😊”

“Desiree was so wonderful with our dogs and we couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. They both loved her, would absolutely book again! Thank you so much!”


About: Hello, my name is Stacey and I am a huge animal lover! All of my pets have been rescued or adopted. I will treat your furry loved ones like they were my own. I am very detail oriented, friendly and compassionate. I will follow as close a schedule as I can to what your pet is used to. My goal is to have your pet and I become friends and build a bond of trust and fun. I take pride in caring for animals and will do whatever I can to make the transition as stress free and possible. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting your bundle of fur in the very near future. Thank you for your consideration, I aim to please. Respectfully, Stacey I am currently working part-time, so I have a lot of flexibility available, so I can tend to all of your furry baby needs. 🐾 I am currently available to care for your furry baby(s) at your home. Having them in their home environment gives them comfort and helps adjust better to your absence. 🐾

About: Hi! I have had dogs in my life ever since I was a baby. I currently own two dogs, one is a teenager and his name is Apollo! The other one is a beautiful dapple dachshund who's name is Diesel. He's my senior buddy. I also currently own a cat named Sebastian. I worked under a dog bather for about 7 months before I, unfortunately, had to leave because I was moving. I have experience in all types of care for dogs and will always put them first. I understand how important our pets are to us, and I'll never shame or judge anyone for what they may need for their pets. I am currently a college student, so I do have classes but they're only in the afternoon and typically only between 12 to 2. After that I will have all the time to give your furry babies my attention and care. If I'm ever unavailable I'll make sure to let you know. Otherwise I'm always here and would be excited to meet you and your pets! As I can care for your pup in your home, you can trust I'll always respect you and your dog's space. Any routines or details you may need to give me I will have on hand at all times. I know it is important to trust the caretaker you may hire to take care of your dogs. I would never want to ruin that trust and would love to make sure you feel comfortable with me!

“Brianna is a very sweet girl and my animals seemed to be very at ease with her and her happy when l got home. She will send photos throughout the day to let you know they are doing well. She even helped me out with a last minute schedule change and let me pay to extend the stay which l so appreciated. Would recommend her!”
