About: I have been a pet sitter for my friends and family for as long as I can remember and I am ready to branch out professionally. I’m a work from home medical engineer and can provide high quality services with a flexible schedule. Since I work from home my schedule is very flexible, especially in the afternoons. I can also do in-home long term pet sitting as I can be anywhere for work. I have a lovely small home in a rural part of town. Perfect for small dogs and cats, with no other pets on the property.
“Kimberly has gone above and beyond this week for me and my pup. My pup has been having some stomach issues and Kimberly gave me multiple suggestions to try before going to the vet and spending all the money on a visit. On top of that she gave me something of hers that she uses on her dogs to help them. She truly is an amazing person who loves your dog like her own. I cannot say enough positives about Kimberly.”
“I booked Jordan for walks with my senior dog! Jordan is highly organized and comes with great experience. She followed all specific requests and care instructions I had communicated. She took many pictures that showed my dog having a lot of fun and gave detailed write-ups after each walk. Side note: my cat was absolutely obsessed with her LOL. I highly recommend booking Jordan to meet your pets' needs!”
“Caitlyn was wonderful with my dad's dog. She was on time, reliable, stayed in good communication with great pics to show how much the dog enjoyed her walk and play time. It was a huge help, since my dad has had health challenges which interfered with good dog walks. Five stars!”
“Good communication. We had coordinated a broader time window instead of the exact appointment time on Rover. She was only going to be a minute or two off the exact time due to circumstances outside her control, but still let me know.”
“Maggie is very nice, friendly, and accommodating. She came during the requested times and took good care of our challenging dog and easy going cat. She responded to messages quickly and sent us updates throughout her walks.”
“Leah was a wonderful backup dog walker for me. She and my dog, Yen, got along great. It's so cute to see Yen greet and tell her goodbye. Leah was prompt, friendly and professional. I am happy with my choice.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals of all kinds since I was 8 years old—everything from energetic dogs to independent (or extra-needy!) cats. Having grown up with pets my whole life, I truly see them as family. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, or just a comforting presence while you’re away, I’ll be there with patience, love, and reliability. Their happiness, comfort, and safety are always my top priority. While I currently work full time, I’m available most weekends for your quick getaways, as well as weekday evenings to care for your fur babies. Whether it’s a weekend stay or a drop-in visit after work, I’m here to help give you peace of mind while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping your pets comfortable and your home respected. I follow your instructions closely,whether it’s feeding schedules, walk routines, medication, or playtime—so your pet’s day feels as normal and stress-free as possible. I make sure they feel loved, safe, and well cared for in their familiar environment. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.
About: With a lifetime of experience caring for cats and dogs, I know that pets are more than just animals—they’re family. I’ve raised three dogs and currently have both a poodle and a cat.

About: We have cared for numerous animals in our own home, as well as fostering dogs for years. I’m a professional and extremely responsible, seeking an enjoyable side job to build savings and tackle debt.

I work remotely, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me the time needed. This works perfect for visits to your home, housesitting, or dog walking. I have four dogs of my own and a fenced yard for them. However, I prefer to offer services at the clients’ homes to avoid any possibly clashes with my “pack.” I will not host dogs at my home.

Alexis A.
“Alexis was such a wonderful care taker for my 4 little dogs. They had the biggest smiles always when she sent me photographs. Took them on many walks even had them sleeping in bed with her also she gave them baths and groomed them so they looked amazing when I picked them up. Definitely will use her again”
Gemma T.
“Gemma has always had a special connection with animals, who seem comfortable and confident around her. She is loving and perceptive of individual pet needs while being very responsible, organized, and meticulous in everything she does. Gemma is also a student-athlete, so no pet is too large or too energetic. She has cared for several pets over the years, raised our 9-year-old dog from a puppy, helped take care of a neighbor's elderly/special needs dogs, and even goes out of her way to care for local wild animals (from frogs and birds to foxes and deer). Gemma is reliable and honest and often goes above and beyond what is required. You can rest easy knowing that your pet will be in great hands and is certain to have a lot of fun with their new friend.”

Nina S.
“Nina is wonderful! She has watched our fur babies multiple times over the years. The last time she was with them for over a week. We are always happy when Nina is available, because we know our babies are safe, well cared for and given lots of love and attention. She did a fantastic job of keeping them on their feeding, walking and potty schedule. We missed our fur babies while we were gone for that week, as we had never left them that long. Nina was gracious enough to keep us updated with photos of them. We 10/10 recommend her. You and your pets will be very happy to have Nina in your life.”
