“TeAsia has done house sitting for us several times now, caring for our 14 year old dog and cat. She does great with our dog that has some mobility limitations. Is very responsive and makes sure to send us photos while we are away! Highly recommend if you are looking for a good sitter.”


About: I have a wealth of experience caring for a variety of pets, ensuring their well-being, happiness, and tailored needs are met with the utmost attention and love. I’ve cared for dogs with separation anxiety and have a senior dog. I work from home and love to break up the day walking and playing with pets. They bring an abundance of joy to my day and keep me active. I have a spacious home near ample trails. I’m on time and respectful of dog’s boundaries when entering their home. Love caring for your furry family members 💕

“Very reliable and I could sense Niqo loved having a sitter. I swear when i returned he acted a little full of himself🙄😁. She did a great job sent me updates and pics and was very obliging with my short notice change of plans. Will definitely recommend and use again!”



“This was our second time using Leigh. She sent lots of updates and pictures throughout the stay. It was clear our dogs were happy and getting lots of love! She left our home clean - we couldn't even tell she had been there. We will use her again in the future! Highly recommended.”


“Sheila was amazing! She sent lots of pictures of all my babies during her time with them. Our dogs have very different personalities and needs, and she was great with all of them.”


About: I have worked at an animal hospital for 4+ years, taking care of patients and overnight boarders at our facility. I have experience with every type of dog ranging across the board; from puppies to seniors; small dogs to big dogs; from friendly to reserved dogs. I’m experienced and comfortable giving any type of medication (pill, injection, etc.) and can give special care to dogs with special needs. There isn’t a mess that I haven’t had to clean, so I’m prepared to create a safe and healthy environment for any pet. I am also able bodied and can keep up with energetic dogs. I have a very flexible schedule and work part time at the moment, so I have plenty of time to devote to your pets. My work hours vary from week to week but no matter the hours, I’ll be able to provide consistent potty breaks and check ins. I genuinely care about the happiness and safety of all animals, and I’m prepared to provide such an environment. There’s not a mess that I can’t handle or that I haven’t cleaned in the past. I am very good at reading body language to know what the animal is thinking, feeling, and what they need in any given moment. I have experience giving animals medications and can follow special rules or intrusions for feeding, walking, or care.

“Brandy was absolutely wonderful! First time we’ve ever used in-home dog sitting, and then it was overnight as well. She did everything we expected and more. She took good care of our sassy, Enzo, and moose. It was refreshing to be way, but great to get back home to happy puppies and a happy mama. We will definitely be asking her back to watch sassy and Enzo. If you need someone to watch your pets pick Brandi she’s the best there is.”


“Abby was amazing! She provided so many updates and pictures. She is by far the best pet sitter I have had. Would definitely recommend her to anyone that wants someone who cares for your animals like they are her own!”

“Kimberly was so good with our little cat! She was so kind and took great care of our home and fur baby! She even gave our cat who doesn’t isn’t good with medication her meds twice a day and sent us pics of our baby while we were on vacation! Will absolutely be booking with her again!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs for many years from family pets, neighbors dogs, dogs of friends, and living with my roommates dog for almost 3 years. I have always been hands-on and very engaging with all dogs I meet. I have learned many important skills involved in puppy training, differing pet routines and needs, positive reinforcement, and how to keep each and every dog comfortable and happy. I prioritize consistent care and reliability, so you can feel confident that your dog is in good hands. I currently have an internship with a very flexible schedule, so I will have plenty of time focused towards availability and care for your pets. If needed I will pursue another part-time job to provide me with a livable income, but I will continue to communicate changes in my schedule availability. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in my client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and fun environment. I learn each pet’s routine include mealtimes, medications, walks, and any other needs the dog may need. I make sure each puppy is given the proper attention they need with positive interactions, any needed space, and I am very adaptable to each dog’s personality. I also prioritize cleanliness in every client’s home and use proper communication with clients to satisfy their needs along with their pets’ needs.

About: I have done checkins, dog sitting, and walks for my neighbors, families, and friends dogs. I have watched and worked with dogs of all sizes. I’ve spent afternoons caring for dogs. I’m adequate at cleaning up any messes dogs may make. I am good for afternoon to evening visits. I work until 4 pm on the week days. I’m free all day on my weekends of Saturday and Sunday. I’m very attentive to how dogs react to me. If they are on the timid side, I try to let them warm up to me. If they are on the playful more energetic side then I will be much more playful. I give the energy and attention to what the dog will need from me.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs as long as I can remember! From taking care of my elderly dog to welcoming home a brand new puppy, my love and affection for dogs ensures good quality care and extra attention for your fur babies. Outside of my weekend job, I’m totally free during the weekdays (unless of course I’m out of town!). I am good at balancing early mornings and late nights and providing my full attention and energy to your pet is my priority! From basic food, water, and play services to walks, hikes, and medical schedules, I offer a fun, energetic, yet reliable and easygoing experience for your pup!


About: Hi there! I'm Kristen, and I am so excited to meet and care for your four legged babies! Taking care of animals has always been a passion of mine, and providing your pets with quality care while allowing you peace of mind is my promise. I truly understand just how much they mean to you. I have over 20 years of experience caring for cats and dogs (plus a few fish and turtles over the here and there)! Before I had my son, I was employed full time at an animal hospital & pet lodge, working reception, kennels (doggy daycare, walks, feeding, 1:1 play time, etc) and assisting with patients working directly with veterinarians in the hospital. My time there not only expanded my veterinary knowledge but my experience in caring for a large variety of different cats and dogs. I have an 8 year old son who’s a HUGE animal lover himself. If your pet likes kiddos, I can happily bring him with me, and if not that’s ok too! (He can always stay with my husband) We are new to Hermann and currently have our one sweet cat. My schedule is incredibly flexible and essentially wide open at this point. I would love to become your pet caregiver for the upcoming summer months and beyond! I would be happy to share references upon your request. Can’t wait to hear from you! As of right now, my schedule is incredibly flexible! My 8 year old begins summer break after 5/16, but I can easily bring him with me if that’s okay with you! I am unable to offer care in my home at this time, but I can provide walks, check-ins, or overnights in your home. I’m available weekdays, nights, weekends and holidays.

About: I have been animal sitting now for the last six years of my life. I have taken animals of all sizes and animals with disabilities and special needs. I work Tuesday through Saturday from 9-5 but I am available anytime outside of the frame. Holidays I am always available for if given enough notice. I like to give lots of attention, let me know what your fur baby likes and doesn’t to help me take the best care I can for them. Lists are a big help for me on anything from what time they eat to when they need their medicine.

About: I have more than 20 years of experiencing caring for dogs and ensuring their happiness and wellbeing. From large to small, I love them all. I currently have a Newfoundland and a Labrador. I am comfortable giving medications to any pets who may need them. I work from home and therefore available to spend as much time with your pet or in your home as may be preferred. My schedule is highly flexible and I strive to be accommodating. I aim to treat everyone's home as if it were my own and will try my best to leave it cleaner and im better shape than before my arrival.

Kristiona L.

“Kristiona did an amazing job! And the most important part, Taco was super happy! Felt a sense of relief knowing he was being well taken care of.”


Kathryn C.
“Kate is an animal person through and through and loves nothing more than spoiling our dog. Over the years, she has dog or cat-sat for us as well as for friends and neighbors - always to rave reviews. She's dependable and caring (and yes I'm biased as her mom) but beyond that she truly enjoys spending time with animals and spoiling them with attention.”

“Kristen is absolutely wonderful! She is kind, and provides excellent customer service, and the dogs love her!! She always makes sure that they have what they need, and spoils them a little bit too! I would definitely recommend Kristen to take care of anybody's furry family member!!”
