“God/Goddess thank you for Katie & her hubby too. Quilly was so so happy in the pictures and when I came home. Incredibly trustworthy and friendly lady (neighborly too! ) to care for pup.”


“Liz met us at our campsite right on time and she immediately got along with our Catahoula, Annie. They were quick friends. Liz did a great job keeping her safe and entertained while me and my family attended a concert, and Annie was safe and relaxed when we got back to our site. Liz did great and I'll recommend her to anyone who needs help watching their fur baby for a few hours.”


About: I’ve taken care of my personal dogs as well as friends and family dogs for years now. I am experienced with dogs of all sizes, as well as all personalities. I am familiar with low energy and high energy breeds, and know how to cater to each of them. I also specialize in dogs that have anxiety as well as reactivity, and know how to monitor their behavior and understand them in a way that most humans and other animals do not. I currently work full time, Monday-Friday so all animals would need to be able to be home alone for around 8-9 hours during the weekdays. My current hours are 6:30am-3pm, so I make a point to be available in the morning before I leave for work, and then after I return from work. This also applies to drop-ins. I make a point to be fully available on weekends since I am away often during the weekdays, but am also home early enough during the week that I can spend the afternoon, evening, and night with your furry little ones. I will care for your pets by following the owners’ and pets’ needs, I never stray from instructions. I will ensure safety precautions are always taken, as your animals safety is my highest priority.

“Janice deserves 10 stars at a minimum! She was absolutely wonderful with our dogs, Charlie and Delilah! She took great care of them, making sure they felt comfortable and loved during their stay. It was clear that she went above and beyond to keep them happy, healthy, and entertained. Both dogs were so well cared for, and we could tell they had a great time with Janice. She communicated with us regularly, sending updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind. We would highly recommend Janice to anyone looking for a caring and responsible pet sitter. Thank you so much, Janice!”


“Daniel is so lovely and took amazing care of our pets while we were away! Our high energy pups seemed so comfortable with him right away. From the first message he was so quick to respond and a great communicator — which is so important to me. Will absolutely book with him again!”


About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life and began attending dog training sessions with my parents when I was just six years old. From age 6 to 16, I learned more than just commands—I learned how to connect with dogs, understand their behavior, and earn their trust. My mom always believed it was important to understand how dogs think, and that’s shaped how I care for animals today. Now, I share my home with Gracie, my sweet golden retriever, and two lovable female cats. Living with both dogs and cats has taught me how to balance different personalities and routines, and I love every minute of it. Over the years, I’ve dog-sat for friends and truly enjoy caring for all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pup is playful, shy, high-energy, or a senior in need of some extra TLC, I’ll be there with patience, respect, and lots of love. I genuinely believe dogs are better than people—so your pet will be treated like family while you're away. I'm comfortable with all breeds, offer dog walking and overnight stays, and will keep you updated with regular photos and messages for peace of mind. During the week, I work Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, but I’m completely open on weekends and available on all major holidays. Whether you’re headed out of town or just need someone to stop in and give your pup a walk or cuddle, I’ve got you covered. I have a fully fenced-in backyard for safe outdoor play, but I never leave any dog unattended outside—supervision is always a must, even in a secure space. I believe in providing a safe, structured, and loving environment for every pet in my care. I share my home with my golden retriever, Gracie, who is super friendly and loves making new doggy friends. I also have two sweet female cats. All of my pets are spayed/neutered, fully vaccinated, and used to sharing their space calmly and respectfully. Whether your dog is staying for a visit or just dropping by for playtime, you can feel confident knowing they’ll be safe, supervised, and treated like part of the family.

About: I'm available to provide the best care for all your furry (or fur-less), scaly, and or feathered friends. I understand that each pet has unique needs, from daily walks and belly rubs for dogs to creating the perfect habitat for reptiles and keeping your cat’s world enriched with toys and cuddles. I offer compassionate care tailored to your pet’s specific personality and requirements, ensuring they feel loved, safe, and happy while you're away. No matter the species, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family, with lots of attention, patience, and of course, treats! I'm currently working and going to school part-time, but feel free to reach out and I'll see what I can do to help you out! I always prefer to provide care in your home, and will treat your home, property and of course your pets with the upmost respect. In addition to caring for your pets, I am happy to bring in the mail or delivered packages, and provide other random services at your request as needed. I may be able to provide boarding care in my home with notice on a case by case basis provided your pet is house-trained and gets along well with my personal pets.


“You could not find more thoughtful and caring people to genuinely love your pet than Kelly and Nabil. They prioritized Elmer’s health and happiness to the highest degree and made sure we received videos and photos every day. We feel very lucky to have them in Elmer’s life.”



“Christine jumped in for a last minute request to sit with our very old baby dog for a long day. She had never met us or him before and her relaxed confident demeanor overcame his (and my) nervousness. I am grateful we found her and will ask her again to sit for us.”


About: What sets me apart is the level of care, presence, and attention I bring to every pet I look after. As a stay-at-home mom, I have the flexibility and availability to give pets consistent companionship and supervision throughout the day. I understand how important routines, comfort, and trust are—especially when someone else is caring for a beloved pet. I’m naturally nurturing, detail-oriented, and communicative, which means you’ll always know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. I treat every pet like part of the family, because to me, they truly are. I’m a stay at home mom of 2 wonderful animal adoring children. Because I’m home throughout the day, your pet will get plenty of attention, playtime, and care. During their stay, your pet will experience all the best parts of our family just as if they were our own. When caring for your pets in a clients home, I do my best to adhere to all routines and schedules so the pets can feel as comfortable as possible. I will respect your home and keep everything clean, organized, and calm. I’m more than happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel comfortable and at ease while you’re away. My goal is to provide a loving and safe environment for you and your pet so you can rest assured knowing that they are being taken care of to your standards.

“Katherine made us feel at ease leaving our dog for the weekend. She sent lots of pictures and check-ins which we really appreciated, and highly recommend her. After a long weekend we came back to a very happy boy.”


About: Hi y'all! I am an all around animal lover. My girls and I take any dogs that we are watching on walks with us every night, we have lots of fun. Pets are allowed on the furniture, unless you state explicitly state you don't want them to be. I prefer not to kennel overnight, but there are always exceptions to the rule! I am able to help with puppies and older pups alike; age is not an issue. Please ask any questions you may have for me, thank you so much we can’t wait to meet you! I am currently working part time but I am always available for nightly drop ins or for any early morning stops on my way in. I am always respectful of your safety protocols, gates are always double and triple checked, doors are always checked to be shut correctly. Food and water levels are consistently monitored. Instructions are always followed to the letter.

“Lucy was perfect for our high energy but attention loving dog. She was respectful of our home and had great communication. We will continue to use her when she is available.”


“Grace was an excellent cat sitter to our boys, Pax & Pickles, while we were on vacation for a week. She consistently provided updates on how they were doing, including photos and videos, and followed our directions for their care. She also went above and beyond to ask questions about how she could make the boys feel happier and more comfortable in our absence. She was able to give our one cat, Pax, his inhaler twice daily with no issues. Finally, she left our apartment very clean. I would rebook with Grace again and recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter for their fur babies 😊”


“Angela was very patient and sent us a lot of pictures. Kept a good communication through out the time that I was away and had a positive attitude when dealing with my "not too friendly" dog.”


About: I’ve had 2 Golden retrievers. One passed away in my arms. I can train puppies. I can take care of older senior dogs too. Specialize in friendly dogs, but I can work with any dog with any personality. I’m looking to make pet care a full time purpose driven endeavor. Right now working part time so I’m available for pet sitting TH, FRIDAY, SAT & SUN. In my home I have a fenced yard and my 8 year old golden, buddy. If needed I can offer in home services but I prefer to go to clients home.

“Stacey was wonderful! She was so easy to communicate with ahead of watching our dog and was also super self sufficient around our house. There was a bad storm when she was scheduled to watch our dog and we live in a pretty remote area and she had zero complaints. She was fantastic all around!”


“Sky was wonderful with our pets! She took great care of our dogs, ferret & guinea pig! She sent pictures & videos throughout our time away which we so appreciated. Our dogs have tended to be vindictive when they’ve come home from boarding but they have been completely happy & relaxed. This is the first time that we’ve had someone stay in our house but definitely not the last!”


“Hannah did an amazing job pet/house sitting with my dog while I was gone for almost two weeks. My dog banjo is very nervous around strangers and was hesitant when she first came over. But Hannah was so patient and calm with banjo and after a short time he was in love and totally happy. She gave daily updates and sent lots of pictures. She even offered to take care of my house plants when she noticed they needed water! I will definitely be reaching out to her in the future the next time I am out of town. 10/10 would definitely recommend!”


About: I have done petsitting for dogs and cats, and have both as pets myself. I love animals and I feel comfortable making sure they are well cared for, from food to walks to playing with them outside. I am reliable and really enjoy taking care of pets, so I am always on time and would never want to leave a pet alone for a long time. My schedule varies day to day and week to week. I am open to scheduling services ahead of time but am open to short notice as well! I am not currently offering care in my own home as my yard is not fenced in and my home is too small to allow more animals enough space.

Jesse R.
“I’ve known Jesse for a couple decades now. As a person: you can’t do better or get better. He cares, a lot. He’ll listen and express with compassion. He’ll be there, period. As a dog person?!: forget it, give them ALL to him. He’s fostered and adopted from every walk. Because he loves to. Because he needs to. Jesse has had bird children, dog and cat children, and he is the most responsible pet parent, giving them all the love attention, accessories, character appropriate toys, and play and walk time to suit their individual needs. I hope you find what you need in a care person, but I hope you try Jesse out, you won’t regret it.”

Nicole has suffered numerous debilitating trials in her life and not one of those trials has broken her kind loving spirit.
