About: I’ve grown up my whole life around having a dog and always treated our pets as family so rest assured your pets will be respected as your family. I’ve been around puppies, adults and senior dogs. Would love to do meet and greet before so your puppers can feel comfortable with me and not feel like I’m a total stranger! I currently work full time in office M-Thurs 7-3:30 PM and work from home on Friday’s. I don’t work weekends within my FT job. I can be available after I’m done with work if needed, but should have more availability during the day towards the weekends. I live in a townhouse so I have to keep my dog leashed when going on walks as ruled by our HOA association. In our home our dog roams free, but during his puppy and growing stages we had him in a large playpen.

About: Hi there! I’m Angeline, a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom to a 2.5-year-old corgi named Archie. He’s full of personality and pretty much my shadow—we go just about everywhere together! Whether it’s park playdates, a local brewery, walks or relaxing at home, I know how important it is to give dogs the care, attention, and affection they deserve. As someone who truly understands the bond between people and their pups, I’ll treat your dog like one of my own. I’m excited to meet your furry family member and make them feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away! As a full-time professional and proud corgi mom to my 2.5-year-old pup, I understand how important it is to find reliable, loving care for your dog. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine—I’m used to walks, playtime, and all the tail wags! I’m available most evenings and weekends, and I’d love to help care for your furry friend like one of my own. Please check my calendar for current availability! I have a corgi that loves all dogs! Whether I am in your home or your animal is with me, I can guarantee they will feel comfortable and safe. I will make sure your animal is receiving the care they need that fits their regular routine.

About: I have had animals all my life as I grew up on a farm . Recently both my schnauzers pass away from old age. I am not ready for another pet of our own but love watching other pets. I am experienced watching all ages of dogs and cats and also administering medicine if needed. Pets will need to be kid friendly in my house , they can keep up with the energetic ones but know to be gentle with the older ones. I also love to snuggle so your pets will get lots of kisses and hugs. I have a very flexible work from home schedule, so I am able to cater to your pet's needs. They will work alongside me and I am able to take regular breaks for play time and walks depending on your pet. Safety is our #1 concern so even though we have a fenced in yard they will always be supervised. I also have locks on all our fences just in case. Our environment can also cater to the needs of your pet's personality; I am prepared to snuggle on the couch or play until we can't play anymore. I also love to take pictures so will keep you very updated! I know it's hard to leave your babies so we will do our best to make you and them feel comfortable.

About: Born, raised, and still a dog lover! I have had Border Collies, a Labrador, Scottie Dogs and now the proud owner of a squirrel and rabbit chasing Beagle! I currently work part time and from home, so I have plenty of time to devote to your pet! I take Mia (our beagle) for long walks everyday. Everyone is welcome to come along! Our apartment requires key-card access to three doors before successful entry. Numerous toys on demand, super dog-tastic biscuits and treats on tap, plus dog spa and bath if permitted!

About: I’ve taken care of my own pets and pets for family and friends. I’m excited to meet your sweet pet and get to know them! I’m working, but my schedule is flexible during the week. I can do morning, afternoon, or evening walks. I can also drop by during daytime. I care for my pets through preventative care, making sure they’re uptodate on their shots and that they are getting enough attention at the house.

About: I will make sure that I treat your dog as well as my own. I love to walk my own dogs, rain or shine, and I enjoy giving dogs the attention they need in order to be as happy as possible. I have done home visits and boarded dogs in the past for family and friends. I make sure to visit and care for them every chance I get. I do work a little outside my home but the dogs will be exercised before I leave them. I am also a runner so if you need someone to run with your dog I would love to. I am up around 4 am for feedings and to let dogs out. My morning walks are usually around 10 am. I will walk the dogs again around 8 pm before bedtime. I do have a fully fenced in yard. I have kennels I can provide if the dog needs kenneled unless it’s a large breed dog.

“Sylvia has been so caring and compassionate toward our two pups. We can tell they are so excited when she comes to visit. She has always been great with communication and we love reading her notes after each walk!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs since middle school and became a proud dog mom over 5 years ago. My two miniature dachshunds are my whole world; I truly couldn’t imagine life without them. I’ll treat your pups like my own, giving them all the love, care, and attention they deserve as one of their new best friends.

About: Please read till the end…I have had cats my entire life, and have nothing to give to them, but love. However, only within the past 2 years have I had dogs. And boy, have I learned a lot. But, I took on two dachshund puppies at the same time, and if anyone knows much about small dogs, you know that is a nightmare/dream come true all in one. I currently have cats, dogs, my bunny, rats, fish…so, many animals in my home. And they are all happy and healthy, and loved. I have indeed been called “the animal whisperer” because people come over and are always baffled at how well my animals get along. I love animals more than anything, and their happiness is very important to me… I myself, may have a lot of animals, but I am by no means rich, or financially stable at the moment, so I understand the struggle of finding an an affordable pet sitter. PLEASE reach out to me if you cannot afford my prices, and we can work something out!! Ready to start right away!! As someone who views my animals as my children, it can feel like a full time job. But, I am very good at planning and spacing out enough time for everyone to get all the attention they need. And I am wanting to switch to a full time position as a pet sitter. Unfortunately, most care would have to be done at the clients home, because my animals (my dogs) Love other people and other dogs, but I do not feel comfortable putting that stress on my cats. However, I am reliable, I clean the cat boxes every day, and my dogs are out of the kennel as much as they possibly can be. They never smell too bad, kennel environment and cleanliness is very important to me, when it comes to their health and comfort. However, I do stick to my firmness and want them to feel like they can be themselves, but to also know that they need to listen.

“She did a great job with our dog. He's very old and she had great patience and was very attentive. She spent extra time with him rather than just get done and report often on how he was doing.”


About: Every friend or family members cat or dog has connected with me instantly, and I may not have professional pet sitting experience, but I do absolutely love all animals and will do my best to provide comfort for your fur-baby while you're busy. Even my sisters grumpy old boy Dobby loves me (and I love him too ♡). I have my own dog Piper, who is a shih-tzu turning four years old this month. She loves almost all other dogs and cats, and especially loves having new playtime buddies. We have plenty of toys and she is not aggressive when sharing. I do work fulltime with a night shift schedule. I walk and feed my pup before and after work, then we have plenty of playtime when I'm home. I treat pets like I would want to be treated, with love and respect. I give plenty of kisses and pats, and playtime is always a good time if the pet is up for it. I am hyperaware of toxins to dogs and cats, constantly keeping an eye out.

About: I've had cats my entire life, and my husband and I currently have two amazing but SUPER high energy little kitties named Eli and Finn. We are very obsessed, and they're spoiled! I have grown up in a very close, tight-knit family with LOTS of dogs and cats, and I've pet-sat more times than I can count. I LOVE animals and they tend to like me as well. I have experience with feeding, medicine, walking, vet visits, picking up animals from pet hotels, etc. I pet sit, house sit, and babysit for a lot of my family and friends, have been a nanny to my godson who has medical complications, and am well-trusted. My husband and I are going through fertility treatments, and the profit from my pet-sitting business will be supporting us in building our family! We would deeply appreciate your support while your pets receive great care in exchange! I'm in ministry school to become a hospital/hospice chaplain, a worship leader, and an entrepreneur, so my schedule is very flexible! I look forward to meeting your schedule needs. I am not able to keep pets at my home. I am able to go to the house site and take care of your fur babies, however, and spend time at your place to give your darlings some affection, give medicine, or whatever else you need done!

Jasmin C.
“Jasmin is an excellent person in general but when it comes to the care and love for animals she has such empathy. The way she cares for her pet is inspirational. Whenever she has cared for someone else's dog she is responsible but loving. What I mean by that is she respects peoples choices to how to care for their dogs but she makes sure to give them lots of love.”

Angeline P.
“I cannot recommend Angeline enough. Not only is she the most devoted and loving dog mother I have ever met, but she is also the most sincere and responsible individual when it comes to pet care in general. I once needed my two dogs watched for a week, while I was away on a business trip, and she graciously watched them with attentive and loving care. She kept me updated every single moment they would go outside, be fed, and played. She would send numerous pictures throughout the day and I never once felt worried about their safety as I knew they were in great hands. She did more than the minimum and spent up to hours playing outside and enaured they would safely eat their food. She allowed adequate time for bathroom breaks and even stayed extra to ensure they were comfortable before leaving. Overall, I cannot express how amazing Angeline Powers is at caring for pets and how she will treat them as if they are her own!”


Brittany M.
“Brittany has watch my little dachshunds and they absolutely love them! I had a lot of things I wanted her to do while they stayed with her and she respected everything I wanted! I appreciated her updates that she would give me throughout their stay and always sending me pictures. Definitely will be using her again for any future requests!!”
