“Great work Jason. We are grateful for your promptness and attention you have to Ash. You really helped us out for this last minute drop-in.”
About: As a proud owner of 3 dogs and a cat, I will strive to make your pet feel like my own. Loved, cherished, and lots of belly rubs. Right now my only priority is to focus on my upcoming school year! Besides that I am free on weekdays and weekends. Day and night! I care for my dogs in my home by providing them with the enrichment they need. Whether that is playing tug of war or treat hide and seek!
“We had a family emergency and needed to travel suddenly. Kristin responded so quickly when we asked if she was available, made time to come meet the cats the next day and go over the routine, and was great with the cats while we were gone. Both cats need medication and one is skittish enough that sometimes that can be challenging with new people/cat sitters, but she seemed to do great with Kristin! Photos and notes from each visit helped a lot too, knowing that the cats were doing well helped mitigate some of the stress.”
“Jess did a great job taking care of our two cats while we were out of town for a week. She was very communicative and gave us thorough updates.”
“Samantha did a great job with my old buddy. She provided pictures while I was away and took care of issues that came up. She was really good with Sanford. I returned home and he was very relaxed and chilled. I would definitely use her services again.”
“Ryan is fantastic, and I highly recommend him. He came over for a meet in-advance, and said/did a lot to help us feel confident in hiring him. He was prompt, clearly loved our dog, played with her a lot, and took great pics (it helps that we have a gorgeous dog).”
“Natalie watched our dogs while we were on a 2 week trip. She kept us updated and 3x daily photos of our pups. So glad she could take care of them 🐶”
“Lin took great care of my cat Pepper while I was out of town. She gave Pepper lots of attention on every visit. Lin even got her to take her medication on schedule. I am very happy with how well she took care of Pepper.”
About: I have always had dogs and cats growing up, which peaked my interest in animal care. In high school I worked as a kennel technician at a boarding kennel and gained an internship at the local veterinary office. now in college, I am studying animal science to hopefully get a degree in veterinary medicine, and continue to pet sit for my friends and family including both cats and dogs. I'm currently home from college for the summer, and home most of the time! I do have a car, and am available almost any time of the day. I have pets in my home that are not socialized, so I would not be able to pet sit in my own home, but I am happy to make the trip to the comfort of their own home.
“Moriah was truly a god send! Our dog is very protective of our home and the people in it. We were afraid we wouldn’t be able to go on our vacation this year because of our dog’s behavior. Moriah knew how to handle our situation with care and discipline with our dog. She sent pictures and updates every day. With each day our dog feel in love with her. I would recommend Moriah to anyone looking for a not just a dog sitter but a dog whisperer! ~Angel”
“Lora was great! We asked her to drop in on short notice and she was very accommodating. She has great communication and was wonderful! We are planning to book her again going forward.”
About: Hello, I’m Shelby 30 years old with 2 pit bulls of my own and a 13 month old son. We love to get out of the house and check on other pets. I have worked in the vet field as a tech and a receptionist for 5 plus years. I work from home and take care of my son. Can step out any time to walk or check on pets. My son will be with me most of the time I Would check on pets at home owners house and can take on walks or just let out to use potty and feed if needed
About: Hey! I’m a 20-year-old college student who’s been caring for dogs for the past 5 years. I’ve looked after all kinds of dogs — from energetic dogs to senior dogs—and I always try to make sure they have fun. I’m also a lifeguard, but I have a flexible schedule. If you’re looking for someone reliable who likes being around animals, I’d love to help take care of your dog! I am available every day of the week to take care of your pets but am also working as a lifeguard so will need to work around that at times (I mostly only work as a lifeguard 2 or 3 days of the week for 4 hour shifts) When I’m staying at your home to care for your dog, I follow their usual routine—whether that’s meal times, walks, or just hanging out. I also make sure to treat your home with the same care I’d want for my own.
“Kristen watched our 4 kitties for an extended weekend. She did a fantastic job. She was prompt each visit and did just as we requested. I will definitely use Kristen again in the future.”
About: In our home, your dog will enjoy a spacious backyard to run and play! We offer play time and cuddle time, with walks along our quiet street.

I have a fenced yard that offers a safe enclosed area for your fur baby to play and enjoy. I pride myself on building a connection with your pet and adhering to the schedules of care provided by owners.
