“Virginia was a godsend! She came and took care of my babies on a moments notice when I unexpectedly had to be gone for an entire day. She was so kind to do so and I deeply appreciative. I will call on her again, no doubt.”

“Brenda was an excellent fur baby sitter !!! We were leaving out of the country and she was available to help us out! She met the girls and then followed all our instructions, as well as communicated with us via text and WhatsApp (internationally) for all things daily which was very comforting. One of our fur kids got sick over the trip and she monitored her as well as helped and took care of clean up. We could not be more grateful! We would recommend her to absolutely anyone, and trust her with our girls. Will be using her for all future babysits!”

About: Hi! I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years through walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I treat every dog like family and focus on keeping them safe, active, and comfortable while you’re away. have a flexible schedule and am available most mornings through early afternoons, as well as weekends and late evenings. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to work around each pet owner’s routine and specific care needs. I understand the importance of consistency, patience, and making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I provide a safe, calm, and attentive environment for every pet in my care. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, administering basic medications, crating if needed, and making sure pets get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. I treat every pet like family and prioritize cleanliness, communication, safety, and creating a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners.

About: Life-long animal lover with experience across the board- dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and fish. I’ve raised my own pets for 18+ years and currently have 4 dogs & 4 cats. Multi-pet homes and big personalities, no problem! I use calm, positive reinforcement — no yelling or harsh corrections. 12 years of caring for coworkers’ and store pets. Your babies will be treated like family! I’m currently working part time as a barber and full time as a single mother. I am free in the mornings after school drop off, throughout the afternoon, and in the evening after school pick up. I’d make your pet my priority. I hope for a future in animal rescue, but will settle for helping my neighbors pets in the mean time. I have a fenced yard with a large dog door for free roaming pups. I walk my dogs in the evenings when it’s cool out. The litter boxes must be changed daily with 4 kitties running the house. I will show your home the same respect I require in mine.

“Alyssa was very responsive and very friendly. I thoroughly enjoyed the constant updates she provided about my major. I will definitely continue to use her and recommend her to everyone.”

About: I I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and energy levels. My background includes daily feeding routines, administering basic medications, leash walks, playtime, and providing lots of affection and attention. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, so I take the time to learn their habits, preferences, and comfort levels. I work a remote full time job. If I’m needed more frequently, all I’d ask is to be allowed to work from your location. Otherwise, I’m on a 9-5 work schedule and can be available for one hour, typically between 11am and 1pm, and every evening. Pet care fits smoothly into my daily and weekly routine. I am available after 3:30 pm daily, which allows me to reliably focus on feeding times, walks, okay sessions, and quality one-on-one care in the afternoons and evenings.

“Abigail took great care of my cat and gave great reports every day so that I could know he was happy!”

“Kathleen was great and took great care of our pups. She followed our instructions and kept us in the loop of the visits and any issues. Thank you!”

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. As a former veterinary technician with six years of experience in equine medicine, I have cared for a wide variety of animals in both professional and personal settings. I have lifelong experience owning and handling hunting dogs, giant breeds, cats, horses, and other farm animals. My background includes administering medications, monitoring animals with special needs, caring for senior pets, and safely and confidently handling horses. I also have experience managing multi-pet households and navigating behavioral challenges, including in-home dog-to-dog aggression, with a focus on safety, prevention, and stress reduction for all animals involved. My schedule is very flexible, and I typically offer drop-in visits in the morning and evening, with each visit lasting about 45 minutes to an hour. If your pet needs additional time, extra potty breaks, medication visits, or a more customized care schedule, I'm happy to work with you to find a routine that fits their needs. A quick note on pricing: my standard overnight house-sitting rate starts at $80 per night for dogs and $50 per night for cats. That said, I understand that many families have multiple pets, and costs can add up quickly. Unless you have a very large number of animals or pets requiring intensive medical care or specialized attention, I typically cap my overnight rates at around $100–$150 per night. If you have multiple pets, horses, farm animals, or a unique care situation, please don't hesitate to reach out. I'm happy to discuss your specific needs and create a customized rate that is fair for everyone.
