“From the meet and greet through the housesitting, Katelyn was always very prompt and communicative. She sent us picture updates and it always looked like she and the dogs were having a great time. Our dogs gets stressed pretty easily when we’re out of town and they seemed unfazed when we got back which tells me they were well taken care of while we were gone. Katelyn took very good care of the house, leaving it as clean or cleaner than we left it. We really appreciated her help and would be please to have her watch out dogs again in the future!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life—33 years of understanding their personalities, routines, and needs. My pet-sitting journey started by caring for friends’ homes and pets and grew naturally through recommendations, which I believe is the highest compliment. Pet care fits naturally into my schedule. I work in-office Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM, which allows me to provide reliable early morning, evening, and overnight care during the school year. Depending on distance from my office, I can provide mid day potty breaks and snuggles! I have full availability on school holidays, making me a great option for extended stays or extra check-ins. During June and July, I’m off for the summer and have an open, flexible schedule with full daytime availability—ideal for pets who need more frequent attention, consistency, or longer-term care. I care for pets the same way I care for my own—with patience, consistency, and respect for their routines. Whether in my home or yours, I follow your pet’s normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest to help them feel comfortable and secure. I take time to understand each pet’s personality and needs, provide plenty of attention and affection, and ensure they are safe at all times. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with care and keep everything clean and orderly. I also communicate regularly with updates and photos so you always have peace of mind while you’re away (if this is something you’d like).

About: I've been pet-sitting for neighbors for years and I love the opportunity to spend time with different pets while offering peace of mind to their owners as they travel, at a more affordable price than a boarding kennel and with the ability to stay in their own home environments and accommodate their unique needs. I have plenty of experience with both dogs and cats, and I don't have a job outside the home so I am available to provide frequent care. I'm currently not working outside of the house, so I have plenty of availability to provide frequent care to any pets who may benefit from it. I don't care for pets in my own home, so there's no need to worry about any outside factors or unfamiliar situations for your pets. I will carefully follow your instructions to keep your pets happy and safe and your home in good condition, while making sure to respect your privacy and property at all times.

About: Caring for animals has been a lifelong passion for me. I’ve been volunteering in animal shelters since I was a teenager, and more recently, I’ve fostered and volunteered with the amazing non-profit Kitty Cat Connection. Over the years, I’ve cared for countless cats and dogs in need—and every one of them has held a special place in my heart. I’ve always had pets of my own, too—right now, I share my home with four wonderful dogs and five cats, including Snoopy, my 16-year-old Beagle-Basset mix who keeps me on my toes and reminds me every day how special senior pets are. With that kind of experience, I understand the love, patience, and responsibility it takes to care for animals of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. When your pets are with me, they’ll be treated like part of the family. Whether they need extra cuddles, a calm presence, or someone to match their energy, I’ll give them the same attention and care I give my own. You can count on me to keep them safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine—I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule, which means I’m home and available throughout the day to give your pets the attention they deserve. Whether it’s midday potty breaks, playtime, feeding, or just companionship, I can be there when they need me most. When caring for your pets in your home, I treat your space with the utmost respect. I will keep your home tidy and clean, making sure everything is just as you left it. I follow your pet care instructions carefully to ensure your furry family members receive the exact care and routine they need. You can trust that I’ll be a responsible and considerate guest while providing loving, attentive care to your pets.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life. Neighbors, friends and family have all relied on me to walk, feed and bathe and even style their pets! Not only did I take care of others but I have my very own fur baby that I’ve been taking care of since I was a kid. I’m currently a part-time college student, a dog groomer, content creator and an aspiring entrepreneur to open my own business one day. I love to stay busy and active so your pup will get plenty of energy with me! I love to work out routinely and it’s so much more fun with dogs at my side! I am available all week and weekends just shoot me a text to let me know ahead of time, what’s your schedule, etc. I have a fenced yard and I have a dog of my own to keep your fur baby accompanied! I can crate my dog or yours if needed. I love all dogs as they are my own. It’s in my religion that animals are most sacred, so you can trust your pet is in good hands! I’m not greedy, not in this for the money, I’m willing to negotiate prices, whatever’s easier for you and to make your life more peaceful. Seriously! I do not mind! :)

She sent us pictures and videos every day while we were away and even checked out mail and took out our trash. The house looked exactly as it did the day we left it. We will absolutely use Shantanice again and can’t recommend her enough!”

About: I’ve always grown up around dogs and have owned them throughout my life. As a student attending school to major in Veterinary Medicine, I want to get the best experience I can day by day. I currently own a doxie right now and she truly deserves the best. I am currently a sophomore student athlete going into my second semester. I want to be able to stay busy and get some experience with a variety of pets by understanding day by day. Also please understand that I will do my best to keep my availability updated, and as a student athlete please have patience with me. Thank you! I believe that caring for an animal is like caring for a child. The attention and care is a priority, as I do have a doxie myself. She is my whole world and she truly deserves the best along with all other pets!

“We couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch our puppy for our first time leaving him with someone else. She took great care of Winston and sent us many fun pictures showing how much fun he was having with her. She was great at sticking to his schedule we had in place already including food and naps as puppies need there naps. She was very good about communicating and asking questions if need be. I highly recommend Gabriella.”

“Maryn did a great job watching our kitties. She stuck to our routine with their feeding schedules and left our home exactly as we left it. She even went above and beyond with leaving food and water out for the neighborhood cats who were not included in the booking but who my husband and I look after. We will definitely be booking with Maryn again!”

We had the pleasure of having Amanda take care of our two high-energy dogs while we were out of town, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience! She kept us updated daily with pictures and notes, which really put our minds at ease. She was so great at handling our dogs' energy and gave them the attention and care they needed. Unfortunately, while we were away, my husband had a medical emergency and had to be admitted to the hospital, which meant we needed to extend our stay unexpectedly. Amanda was incredibly understanding and flexible, covering the extra time without hesitation. Her willingness to adapt to our changing situation was so appreciated during such a stressful time. We will absolutely be utilizing Amanda again in the future. She goes above and beyond what’s expected and truly cares about the pets she’s looking after. Highly recommend!

Erica did a great job house/ dog sitting while I was away on a 5 day trip. Erica was responsive with all requests and questions. Photos of my dogs and progress reports were sent regularly. Upon my return, I found my house to be clean and tidy just as it was left. I would not hesitate to recommend Erica’s services to friends or family and will hire again.
