About: I have been caring for pets and wild life of all kinds (hamsters, gerbils, Guinea pigs, cats, dogs, fish, lizards, frogs, birds, snakes, turtles) for as long as I can remember, dating back to my early childhood days. I had a dog and cats growing up. Buster Brown was my childhood dog, he lived to be 18 years old. He was a good boy. Once he passed, of old age, I rescued Shatei. Shatei was my first baby as an adult. She was a Chow/Shephard mix, beautiful girl, looked like a lion. She was my sidekick for 15 years, before she passed of Cancer 😢 I then rescued two labs, Henry and Gracie. Oh my goodness, talk about personalities. Both of them were such sweethearts. Sadly, they both passed from Cancer at the age of 10. Which leads us to current day… I have a senior fur baby, she is 15 years old, pretty much blind and fairly deaf. She is a pee pad baby and the Queen of the house, so I am used to regular clean ups and special care for our older babies. I treat all babies as my own. My home is known as “the dog house”. When friends need a safe place for their babies, they bring them to me. My “Wolfpack” is used to their mom bringing home strays 🤣 after all, that’s how they all got here! My girls are 11, 12 and 15. Macy is the 11 year old and the dominant (mouthy) leader personality. She likes to spend her time barking at the UPS driver, Me, Postal Workers, humans walking their dogs, Me, birds, boats, Me, wind, hopefully You…she’s not picky, equal opportunity with that girl! Sydney is my 12 year old gentle sunbathing beauty, she likes to spend all of her time sunbathing on the front or back balcony, it depends on where the prime sunning spots are. She typically checks in with me on her commute from one balcony to the other, make sure I’m still doing my motherly duties, petting her belly, maybe slide a quick treat or two in. She’s easy going…🌞 🐾 Callie is my 15 year old senior, she enjoys no walks, eating as often as I will allow, barking at me to feed her, eating some more, sleeping and pooping wherever she pleases, because she knows mom will come right along and clean it up. And finally, saved the best or last, I lost my lil man Winston, at the age of 20 years old, 2 years ago. He was a champ, lil 10 lb Chiweenie, that lived his best Beach Life and now watches over us 🏖️ 😇 🐾 To sum it up, I love all animals! I am really drawn to dogs and they are typically drawn to me. I strive to keep a peaceful environment and vibe in my home and it reflects in how relaxed my dogs are 90% of the time. When I hit the couch, to relax, they flock to me. No matter if I have 3 or 6 dogs in my house, they all pile into the cuddle puddle, my favorite place to be! Who needs Heaven when you live like this!? This is MY HEAVEN! 🤗 I am ready to give your fur baby all the care, attention, and affection they deserve! I look forward to meeting you and your special fur baby! Sincerely, your dog’s future Aunt B ☀️ I am a retired stay at home dog mom! I recently retired from a career of 30 years, so I could focus on Living my best life and providing the best life for my fur babies! I am home pretty much 24/7, so plenty of time to play with your fur baby, take walks and lots of snuggles! Our day typically starts with doggy breakfast served first thing, followed by a nice long walk to make sure we take care of all of our business and smell all of the other business that was taken care of before we got there! After all, dogs can smell the mood someone is in, based on the scent they left behind 🤯 so I fully support letting them explore and use all of their amazing senses! Then it’s back home for a Good Girl or Good Boy treat, which I also carry on walks to encourage good behavior, then nap time! Napping options, based on weather, are the front balcony, back balcony, couch, or any dog or human bed in the house. The front balcony allows for monitoring delivery services, such as UPS, FedEx, USPS, Uber Eats, you name it, we monitor for it, in addition to monitoring the walking path to ensure all dogs know who’s territory this is and let’s not forget the prime sunbathing! The back balcony allows additional prime sunbathing options, as well as monitoring for delivery services ACROSS the canal, yes, all services covered on that side too, in addition to boats, pelicans, herons, seagulls, loons (we really love the loons when they swim, it’s a special kind of freak out for Macy, oh and Dolphins 🐬 Macy REALLY loves the Dolphins and will let the ENTIRE Harbor know when one visits). 😃 We gets lots of attention from the boaters passing by too. Then it’s time for doggy dinner to be served, followed by another trip outside to take care of business and make sure the hood is secure! Then we typically hit the couch for some R&R and our famous Cuddle Puddle, with lots of pillows and blankets, because we like things cozy around here! Finally, a final potty break before bedtime. I have a gated balcony for your dog to enjoy and 3 older dogs to keep them company. I can crate dogs when desired and leash walk them for potty breaks. I have an unfenced side yard and close access to a walking path. Pets are allowed on all furniture, indoor and outdoor.

About: I have always had pets growing up, specifically dogs and cats. I currently have 2 dogs at home, which live at my moms house when I am on the road. My Nan also has 8 cats, who live right down the street from me and I see nearly everyday when I am in town. I love being able to spend time with animals when I am traveling because it gives me a comfort of being at home, and allows me to still see pets even though I am far away from mine. I always jump at the chance to pet-sit for friends and family members when I have the chance, no matter where they are in the world :) I travel full time and work remotely, giving me ample time to spend with your pets! Working from home, or in this case, your home, gives me the freedom to make my own schedule and care for your pets as they need :) As I travel for a living, I offer in home sitting within the clients home. As long as I am in the area, I am more than happy to care for your pets within their preferences at home.

“Hack was absolutely amazing ! He was very responsive, great communication and very knowledgeable about dogs ! My puppy Max loved his time with him and was treated with so much love and TONS of play time. I couldn't have asked for a better person to watch my fur baby! Will definitely be using his services again in the future ! Very reliable and great at what he does! Thank you so so much ! Can't wait to book again !”

About: I have ample experience pet sitting for neighbors, family friends, and community members since I was in my early teens. I adore all animals, so I have no problems administering medication (I don’t have a weak stomach), cleaning litterboxes or crates, and will love and respect them like they are my own babies! Your peace of mind and their comfort are my top priorities. I am currently getting my Master’s degree in Social Work, so I’m looking for a nice side hustle I can devote time too while I’m not doing my fieldwork. Wednesdays and Fridays are the best days for me in terms of all-day availability, but I can certainly be flexible if needed! Though I will not be caring for pets in my own home (leasing rules), I am more than willing to respect and uphold your own personal routines for your pets. I do not have a problem crating or following whatever routines are necessary to keep them safe and happy!

About: I have taken care of various animals throughout my life including (but not limited to) dogs, horses, cats, snakes, bison, goats, and chickens. I am comfortable working with all species and am flexible to fit their needs. I grew up working on farms and am experienced with providing medicine to animals as needed. I love walking, playing with pets, and giving lots of cuddles as needed ❤️ For reptile owners: yes I would be happy to feed your lizards, snakes, turtles etc. Yes, even if you breed snakes and have 50+ to feed. Just reach out to me- as a reptile owner myself I am 100% comfortable caring for them while you're out of town I work for myself as a full time artist and my schedule is completely flexible. My husband works from home as well and our family is committed to assuring pets are getting the best possible care. I am willing to follow whatever instructions are left by the pets owners. I can take animals for walks, feed them, play with them, and assure they are safely crated if needed.

“Barbara is a very thoughtful and caring Dogsitter. She took notes on their care during our meet and greet and double checked before her stay that she understood the needs of my pets. My dogs were very well cared for; I received lots of photos and they weren’t stressed when I returned from my trip. Barbara even did some light housekeeping, so i was relaxed when I got home too!”

“Amber showed up early and seemed to care / listen to our directions and concerns. She sent photo updates and took the dogs on a long walk, which they enjoyed! We appreciated her responsible nature and seemed genuinely kind to the dogs. We recommend her to everyone looking for a reliable person.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was in middle school. I’ve dogsat for family, friends, and neighbors! I love cuddling up with any pet but especially the senior pups who need extra love. I always make sure each pup gets enough attention and playtime when I visit!! I have a part-time job that keeps me busy midday but i’m always available to stop by for a few hours in the mornings and at nights! I understand that puppies that go into crates when home alone cannot stay there for more than 10 hours at a time. So i’ll make sure to at least take them potty between longer visits! Lots of love and care can definitely help a dog with attachment issues. My chorkie named Tebow is always nervous about something (the Chihuahua in him) and we let him know he’s safe with play time and cuddle time.

“Melissa was such a phenomenal dog and house sitter. I just moved to the area and was hesitant on leaving my babies with a sitter but upon meeting my whole stress level was relieved. She is very communicative and definitely treated my dogs like they were her own— to include allowing me to book with here with in 48hours of my trip! I will rebook in the future, she is definitely incredible!”

“Valerie was awesome. The day we were supposed to have our meet and greet I had to take Gidget to the vet because she was not eating. The vet wanted to keep her a few hours which pushed back out appointment time. Valerie was very understanding and flexible. Valerie was awesome with each of our dogs who have very different personalities. She was able to give Gidget the medication the vet has prescribed. Valerie contacted me to see if she could try something to help Gidget to eat. She went over and beyond to take care of our girls. Valerie contacted me daily to let me know how each of the girls were doing. Valerie was also very respectful of our home. I am very grateful for her!”

Crystal C.

“Bethany was absolutely amazing with all 3 of our girls who have different personalities. She was able to adjust and meet the needs of each fur baby. I checked on the girls halfway through our trip and Bethany gave me a good report with pictures. She was very respectful of our home.”

Crystal C.

“She was great, left the house just about as good as we left it before vacation! The dogs seemed happy when we got home and the updates were a great touch to ease my mind! We will be using her again on our next trip for sure 😊”

About: I’ve had a Cavalier King Charles for my whole life, the first one for 13 years and now my own for a year. He is my world and he gets along great with all dogs no matter size or age. I care for other dogs as if they’re my own and will always keep owners updated with pictures and/or text messages!! I have experience with giving meds, making food, feeding schedules, walking, potty breaks, etc. Let me watch your furry ones!! I’m currently in school Monday-Thursday from 7am-2pm and sometimes earlier, so weekends work better for boarding, however i’m willing to make it work. I can always pop in to walk your pup or take them out, or have them in my house! Up to you. I let my dog roam throughout the day and he does great. I always turn on a show for him:)) I have a fenced in backyard and take my dog for a walk everyday. I love taking him to the dog park as well and he would love to have a friend in the home, or I can come to yours and take care of them there!

“Fantastic sitter. Christa stayed at our house and made sure our two dogs and fish were well cared for. Exceptional experience on short notice.”

About: I love 🐕 🐶 . We foster a lot. It's nice to get all the unconditional love from our precious pets. Dogs are man's best friend I'm a stay at home mom. I have a husband and 8yo twins living in our home. I am a great caregiver. I love what do I have a fenced yard and 2 of my own medium size rescue dogs. I am very responsible and caring for my clients and their furbabies.

About: I have had a deep passion for dogs since I was a young girl. My experience in dog care began in high school when I cared for a sick loved one’s dog. Over the course of that year, I not only gained a best friend but also developed a strong sense of responsibility and an appreciation for the joy and companionship that comes with caring for animals. Over the past 3–4 years, I have continued building my experience through dog sitting, and for the past two years, I have worked in a dog daycare and boarding facility. These experiences have strengthened my dedication to providing attentive, compassionate care while maintaining a safe and structured environment. I am committed to supporting both pets and their owners with reliability and professionalism. I’m available anytime after dropping my son off to school @8:30am. Or before/after picking him up from aftercare, by 5:30pm. I box on weekdays but can go around what ever is needed. At my home I have a fenced backyard, enough space to crate 1-3 dogs if need be. I want the dog to be as comfortable as possible, a home away from home. As for clients homes , they are to be treated with respect & cleanliness it is their safe space, same as my home.

“Charlie did great again with our pups, as always! Made sure they were taken care of and sent plenty of pictures. Appreciate her for being able to watch them so last minute too!”
