About: I’ve always had a big heart for dogs. Caring for them comes naturally to me as I truly love being around them, giving them attention, love, and companionship. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I’m very flexible and love spending time with dogs. I can adapt to your pet’s schedule and needs. Whether in my home or a client’s, I make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. I stick to their usual routines, give them lots of attention, and keep their environment clean and calm. Playtime, walks, and cuddle time are always included!
About: I’ve had dogs and cats all of my life. I have always been the go to sitter for friends and family. I am especially experienced with senior dogs and understand the patience, gentleness and extra care they need. I’ve also trained my own pets from a young age, so I’m comfortable working with both older and energetic puppies. Above all, my husband and I treat every pet like family. I work full-time, and my husband is an independent worker with a flexible schedule, so we tag team pet care throughout the day. Our routine allows us to provide check ins and potty breaks approximately every 2-4 hours. We make sure pets are never left alone for too long and always have the attention they need. We’re also available on weekends and happy to accommodate your pets usual routine as closely as possible. Safety and trust are my top priorities. While I have an unfenced yard, I always use leash and supervise pets closely during outdoor time. I have a calm home environment with open space for pets to walk, play and relax. My senior chihuahua has their own separate room, which helps maintain a peaceful setting and allows me to keep visiting pets comfortable and safe.
“Kylee is a great sitter. She was very loving and attentive to my threw kitties. She went above and beyond for us. We can't recommend her enough. 🐱💖”
“Mikayla did a wonderful job walking our three Boxer dogs, Frankie, Xena and Ducky. Two out of 3 of our dogs can be a handful at times. But she did a great job! Thank you!!”
“Thank you for taking care of Kupah.”
About: I have cared for dogs for over 30 years. Mine, friends etc. I have watched dogs, cats, lizards, bunnies. Please no snakes. No issue with multiple animals. This is my full time job. If I have availability I can help you. I am open for last minute bookings because I don’t have another job. I only care for dogs in the clients home. If a situation arose where I needed to care for a dog in my home I have a fully fenced large back yard and a crate for them to feel comfortable in.
“Kathryn did a wonderful job with our 2 dogs and cat while we were on vacation. She sent daily pictures and updates and we highly recommend her.”
“Absolute lifesaver! She is so amazing!”
About: I have a lot of experience taking care of all dogs from breeding to just having pets. I have lots of knowledge when it comes to medical issues with dogs due to my experience with breeding and owning older animals. I work remotely so your animal will have someone home with them all hours of the day! I can take dogs for walks and to the dog park. They will also be able to play with my animals. I will take care of your animals as if they are my own. I love taking care of them and going for walks. They will have plenty of play time and walks.

“Danieris and Julian have been very close friends of mine since 2021. They are an excellent and very lovely couple. Also, I adopted a dog last year and they took care of him in several occasions when I wanted to go out of town for the weekend. They have a lot of experience taking care of pets because their families have rescued several cats and dogs in the past. In addition, their house is very big which allows pets to have a comfortable stay. I would recommend them 100%!”

Jenifer G.
“I own two rabbits and Jenifer has helped to pet sit them on multiple occasions, we were very happy with her caregiving every time! One of the rabbits requires medication at certain times of day and Jenifer never had any issue with this and medicine was always administered properly. On every return the rabbits were always happy, healthy, and certainly cared for. Jenifer also assisted in house sitting on some of these occasions and kept everything neat and tidy while we were away. I would highly recommend Jenifer for any pet or house sitting services!”
