About: Very patient with pets. I’ve cared for different types of dogs and sizes since 9 years old including some puppy training, cleaning up after them, feeding them and even washing the pet if needed also I’m pretty timely and your pet will have enough backyard space to play around or play indoors. I’ll be working part time and the days i will be available for now are Sundays after 3 pm then Wednesdays and Thursday’s at anytime. I have a dog gate inside my house if needed as well no harmful products near by . Also I have family members who love dogs and will give plenty of love and attention to your pet so they feel cared for. My backyard has a huge dog cage just in case for separation if anything. Lastly I currently have no pets so no jealously will happen.




12. Katie L.
About: I am a lover of all animals and am equally a dog and a cat person. I have owned a variety of breeds throughout the years and I respect all fur babies for their unique personalities and needs. I have some dog training experience, having gone through a dog training retreat with my own dog, Wrigley. I learned skills on dog communication, leash training, building trust and mutual respect. Wrigley and I hike almost everyday, and if not we’re at the dog park or playing in the yard! If you have an active dog, you can be assured that he/she will get plenty of exercise and smell all the smells outside! For kitties—I grew up having at two cats in the house and they were my first pets. I have a strong connection with them and understand their way of communicating quite well. I have lots of daytime availability during the week and on weekends. I work my full time job Wednesday through Saturday in the evenings. I generally have holidays off and will update my calendar for additional availability for those days. I encourage a meet and greet for new clients! Understanding the your pet's need and routines is important to me. For pet sitting I like to familiarize myself with the home, pet food and supplies, and safe spaces. I strictly follow my client's instructions for diet and treats, fresh water, exercise and play. Making sure your pet feels cared for and gets the companionship they need is top of mind!


13. Megan D.

“We came home to a happy dog! Nothing better than that! Megan was excellent and we felt our dog was in safe and caring hands. Megan kept us well updated with tons of cute photos! I feel so happy knowing Megan took absolutely the best care of our girl!”


14. Stephanie C.

“Stephanie did a great job with our husky Maya while we went away for a couple of days. She messaged us with updates and pictures which gave me peace of mind. We came home to a happy dog, I will definitely use her services again.”


15. Mindy W.


“Mindy is INCREDIBLE! She is so detailed oriented in asking all the right questions ahead of our trip, and staying in constant communication with us. Based on her photos and check-ins alone, I know my girls LOVE her and were so happy to see her each time she visited. Both of my babies gave her their full personalities, and were very comfortable with her even from the first meeting. She went above and beyond, choosing to hang out with them even longer than requested because she genuinely loves our fur kids. We will 100% book her again when we need her!”


16. Daniela P.

“Have asked Daniela to come visit and let our dogs out a couple times. She does a great job. She communicates well! And makes sure the dogs have everything they need. They seem to love her! She is very good with them. We are happy to have her care for our dogs when we are not there”


17. Mackenzie K.

“Mackenzie was awesome with my scardy cat Button. She was patient with the fact that he’s pretty fearful of new people and she eventually got him to come out and they became friends! She asked great questions to get to know Button, gave very thorough updates and sent lots of pictures. Overall an awesome experience and I felt very good about leaving my boy in her hands and will definitely be doing so again!”


18. Mariah S.
“Mariah has watched my two full sized dogs on countless occasions. I rest assured knowing that they will be just as spoiled by her as they are with me. She brings them on long walks to the dog park, snuggles them endlessly and gives them lots of treats. Mariah always sends multiple picture and video updates to put my mind at ease and easily gives my older dog all her medications. She truly will treat your pets just as you would!”


19. Heather R.

“Heather is amazing! She dropped in to take care of our two cats while we were traveling for the holiday. She was super communicative during her visits and she sent great pictures. Heather totally understood that I was nervous about leaving our cats and she made me feel completely at ease. She is fantastic!”




20. Jeanne F.

“Jeanne is great! Excellent communication, shows concern and is perfectly punctual!”
