“I’m so thankful we found Robin to keep our puppy and cats while we were away! I’m always so nervous leaving them but the frequent picture updates really gave me peace of mind to be able to enjoy my vacation. It was so nice to come home and everything already be taken care of. I could tell all our babies were happy and had all been well cared for. She has our full recommendation!”


About: I personally love seeing all different kinds of different pets and have taken care of ducks, dogs, cats, and chickens so i’ve had a variety of experience with different pets. i have a part time job and this is my other part time job i finish school in 2 weeks so i’ll be available all the time 😊 i’m from a well trusted family and have so many references from people i’ve pet sat for and they all love me and the way all of their pets love me 😊

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs. I currently have four cats (two I’ve raised for over 3 years) and two dogs — one who’s been with me for 5 years and is now a senior with different needs, and another I’ve had for 2 years. Over the years, I’ve helped groom and care for pets belonging to friends and family — including baths, brushing, light nail care, and general pet hygiene. I also have experience with puppies, helping young dogs learn basic routines and good habits with patience and positive reinforcement. I understand how important it is to keep pets on a consistent diet and exercise schedule, and I always prioritize their comfort, emotional well-being, and safety. Whether I’m walking, feeding, or just hanging out with your pet, I care for them like they’re my own. I have the flexibility to provide attentive and reliable pet care every day after 2:30 PM. This gives me plenty of time to focus on your pet’s needs—whether it’s feeding, exercise, grooming, or simply spending quality time together. I’m dedicated to maintaining a consistent routine, so your pet will receive regular care and attention without feeling rushed. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just companionship, I’m here to make sure your furry friend feels happy and loved while you’re away. When caring for pets in my home, I create a calm, safe, and loving environment where each animal feels comfortable and well-attended. I follow their specific routines for feeding, exercise, and play, ensuring they get plenty of attention and affection throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and household rules, maintaining consistency with their usual schedules for feeding, walks, and rest. I make sure to keep the home secure and clean, and I provide updates to the owner so they feel confident their pet is well cared for. In both settings, I prioritize the pet’s well-being, comfort, and happiness, treating each one like family.

“Jessica did a wonderful job with our pups! She kept us updated and informed. Not to mention she spoiled our bully rotten.I would highly recommend her if you want your pets cared for to help you have a stress free time away from home.”



“Crissy is a knowledgeable and professional dog sitter. She was able to easily navigate our different dynamics, having a newly adopted dog who is still getting used to her new home & also an energetic fun-loving hound who can be a lot to handle. Crissy came and handled them with ease. Even took them on walks and sent plenty of pictures and updates. We are so glad we found her!”

I am willing to walk your babies for their daily exercise, love them while you’re at work, and watch them while you vacation so you don’t have to worry! I have a cat of my own so cats are more than welcome as well. Unfortunately I can’t house any more pets in my own home, but I’m excited to come baby sit in your house! Dates and times are flexible.

I can walk your pet, play outside with them, or indoors only- whatever your preference is. Safety is priority so I would always be aware of surroundings and make sure your pet is most comfortable. Please let me know if your pet has any specific needs or is reactive so I can be alert for those things.

About: I have been caring for animals since I was 7 years old and was studying for Veterinary school until I had a falling out with my parents in my third year of college. I am working to get my degree and saving up for tuition to finish my studies so that I can pay back to my community what it has provided me with during the last 15 years. I plan to provide affordable healthcare for animals and am an advocate for pets. I believe in a world where you can afford to buy both good, nutritious foods and the vaccines your pets need. I am incredibly patient and extremely caring when it comes to our four legged children. I have never raised a hand to a dog, and of yet rarely been bitten. I work four days, off for three. I am off Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday and can also network with other caregivers who can take clients if I am booked. I no longer board due to moving, but I will gladly come spend time with your pets however you need. I do long distance, off-site walks for dogs with a strong migration drive, as well as hang out with your fur babies at home.
