About: I've been a pet lover since I was a kid. I started with frogs, lizards and snakes, and graduated to cats and dogs. Until I was able to have dogs of my own, I spent over 10 years pet-sitting for friends and family, volunteering in animal shelters, and have even worked in 2 seperate doggy daycares. My MO is always long walks and lots of attention. I have 2 dogs of my own, a cumulative 17 years of pet raising experience. I have experience caring for sick pets and administering medication both orally and subcutaneously. I've had my pups since they were young and would consider them very well trained. If you're looking to work on certain behaviors, I can absolutely work on that during their stay. I have a fenced yard, a safe neighborhood for long walks, and for longer stays, expect your dog to enjoy a nice hike! I mostly work from home, so your dog(s) would never be alone and would have access to my fully fenced backyard whenever they want. During the week, I can do a long walk during my lunch break, and another after work. Weekends I tend to go hiking, so if your pup enjoys nature, they will for sure have a great time. My yard is fully fenced, and I have 2 friendly dogs. Safety is paramount, so dogs would be supervised while in the yard together. If your dog requires a crate, I have both a plastic and soft sided kennel for indoors.

About: I have a deep well of patience, understanding and affection for your pet. When I am interacting with a dog or cat, they recieve my sole and loving attention. I can't wait to meet yours! I am a retired teacher so I have a lot of management skills and am supremely responsible. I am a retired teacher so I have a ton of time. I am moving from managing teen agers to having loving interactions with pets. I am a single woman in my 50's with no pets of my own, so I am very available to care for your animals. Since I have been back in the USA after teaching overseas for years, I have taken care of and house sat for many people who were pleased with my services. I would love to get to know your animals and make them feel safe and secure while you are gone!

“She did an amazing job with our dog! Often went above and beyond (staying longer than required, dealing with an excited, jumping puppy) and was amazing at communication, updates, and pictures. Definitely better pictures than I'm ever able to get of my dog. Highly recommend!”



“She is so awesome with my dogs. Always communicating if anything is going on. My dogs love her so much. We bumped into her at the dog park and they were so excited. I’m so lucky she walks my dogs for me.”


“Matthew was courteous and quick with communication for our first meet & greet + walk. It is very clear that he has worked a lot with dogs and understands their unique personalities. Thank you!”


About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 and have experience with all different kinds of breeds, sizes, and personalities. Currently my family owns two huskies, a German Shepherd/Border Collie Mix, and a German Shepherd/Pit Mix! Beyond my own pups, I regularly dog sit for six amazing families and truly treat each pet like they’re part of my own pack. I’ve also had the joy of caring for horses, cows, goats, and chickens, so I’m very comfortable around all types of animals and their unique needs. Whether your pet is high-energy, shy, or somewhere in between, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well-cared for! I’m starting a fully online master’s program in social work, which means I’ll have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention and care they deserve. When caring for pets in a clients home, my top priority is making sure that your pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved in their own space. I follow your care instructions closely and do my best to keep their daily routine consistent to reduce stress. I also respect your home as if it was my own- cleaning up after myself (and your pet!), keeping things tidy and making sure your pets feels at easy while you’re gone. I always send regular updates and photos so you can see how they’re doing and have peace of mind.

“Pazia has been great with my dog. He looks happy in the pictures she sends over. She made sure to have water for him and give him plenty of breaks as needed. I really appreciate so much.”


“Maycee has sat for us twice now and takes great care of our large shepherd mix. Grateful for her attention to detail and punctuality! Veda always seems happy and relaxed after a visit with Maycee.”


About: I have had many dogs and cats in my 30 year lifetime. I love my pets and want the best for them, so I understand how others feel about their animals. I have been pet and house sitting professionally for the last 3 years. I always follow owner’s directions exactly, and enjoy brushing, walking and playing with both dogs and cats. Currently my wife and I have a 7 year old cat whom we play with daily, brush and give all love to as well. I take him to the vet for a check up every year in a soft travel cat carrier and update his vaccinations. I would like to pet sit more cats in the future. I’m also a good communicator who updates pet owners and shares pictures if they want them. If I’m staying overnight, I leave the home picked up and clean. I have been learning a lot from my wife who has grown up doing dog, horse and sheep 4-H. She is my go to person for more information, or if puppies, kittens or farm animals are involved. My schedule is very flexible. I’m always able to care for pets throughout mornings, and afternoons. I work a swing shift in the evenings Monday through Thursday from 4pm - 9:00. I am able to take care of pets before and after this block of time. I can stay overnight any evening in the week. Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays I’m free anytime to care for pets. I give a high level of pet care. I am an active and fit person who will not just “watch” your pet. I will use their toys, play with them, walk the dogs, and even enjoy going on a run or to a park. I brush and bathe dogs when that’s needed too. It just depends on what you the owner prefers. I follow directions exactly and if the animal is old or sick I am happy to administer medication, help them move around the house or go outside and will be careful and mindful of their safety and limitations. I am used to dogs with food allergies and dietary restrictions as well. I do not disturb your stuff or property. I leave things as you left them and even keep things clean.

About: I’ve been pet sitting and house sitting since I was 17 (now pushing 30). I’ve taken care of many pets including birds, reptiles, rodents, and even puppies and kittens. I’m always looking to expand my repertoire of animals, so if you have an animal that isn’t listed, fret not! I’m ready to do to research required and listen to all of your concerns! I’m currently in between contracts so I can be reached most hours of the day any day of the week! If for some reason I can’t drop what I’m doing and come over, it’s probably because I’m taking care of other pets! I have a hamster, a cat, and a dog. Making sure my hammy is safe is quite easy when given time to plan. I have a room when I let her roam and explore while I’m in there supervising her, and my other pets are locked out of the room. I always keep my dog on a leash when taking her out, and luckily my cat is a homebody.

About: Hello! I have been working with horses for around five years, and in that time, I have watched and cared for many different types of animals. I am willing to watch, care for, and love on any (and all) animals. I believe that each animal has a different way that they want to be loved. Some dogs are energetic and want to return that ball to you for hours. Others may want to just sit and cuddle for that same time. Each animal has his/her own unique experience in life. Therefore I believe that each individual should be treated differently, but with equal love and attention. I am willing (love) to watch animals that may have abuse in their history, are shy to new people, or may have anxiety, or physical limitations. I have a lot of experience with anxious animals, seizures, and animals with physical limits. I used to have one of my own, now an angel. I require a meet-and-greet before I watch your animal(s), just so I can know exactly where everything is and make sure I can help your animal(s) be as comfortable as possible. A good meet-and-greet also helps me meet the animals that may have more hesitations about meeting me. I can provide references upon request! Thank you for your consideration of my services! I am avalible for pet care all days of the week. I am a full-time online college student, which allows a lot of time in my mornings and afternoon to spend time with your animal(s)! My evenings tend to be busy due to my equestrian team practices, but I am able to feed between the hours of 4-6pm. These practices are generally Tuesdays and Thursdays. I take the utmost pride and care of your animals while you are away. Their food always comes first. I enjoy morning/afternoon walks and/or cuddles! I also take pride in putting myself on their schedule for their comfort. What you would like me to do, that is what I will do and more! I have experience caring for abused, shy animals as well as animals that may have anxiety or physical limitations. Please message me if you are wondering about my experience with a specific special need that your animal has! I would like to make sure that I am a good fit for their needs and can provide what is necessary for their health and comfort.

About: Hi I’m Erica! I have 20+ years of caring for my own dogs as well as friends and relatives pets. Some who have needed constant care with medication and comfort for anxieties. I’ve had dogs of all ages and sizes and can accommodate any of their specific needs. My Corgi (Weasley) and Aussie (Sam) are both friendly. Weasley is very playful and loves making new friends while Sam can be indifferent to other dogs. They both love having guests and are good at sharing their toys, treats, and our affection. Speaking of affection, your dog will be treated as our own and will be given equal amounts of playtime, pets, kisses, and cuddles. I want your dog to feel safe and happy just as much as I want you to feel safe and happy leaving your loved one with me.

About: I love dogs!! For the past couple of years I’ve been a dog sitter for my neighbors and family. I am also a college student who is home for the summer! I am a D1 collegiate athlete who has summer training/swim practice every morning. Otherwise I am free the rest of the day to take care of your dog! I will give your dog lots of pets, love, and attention. Feed them their food, give fresh water, and take them outside for potty. I also love going on walks!

Nahun is a true dog person, and the dogs love him. It is always hard to leave our dogs behind when we go on trips that we cannot take them on. We feel that when they are with Nahun, there is nothing to worry about, and that they are enjoying their time. We highly recommend Nahun.”
