“Megan was wonderful with our 2 large and rambunctious dogs! She kept them exercised and loved. One of our dogs is fairly skittish but he warmed up to her instantly. I loved getting pictures of them snuggling in the bed on a rainy morning.”


“Jen was awesome!! She house sat for 5 days and followed the schedule I left for my two fur babies. Both dogs are large dogs and she walked them every day without hesitation! They were happy and very well taken care of. I was able to relax and not worry because Jen would send text and pictures daily letting me know what was going on. I will definitely be using her again. Thanks Jen!”


“Lucas was great watching my husky! He sent lots of pics and videos and our dogs who seemed to have a blast playing together while I was away for the weekend.”


About: Hi, my name is Sergii. I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats for over 35 years. Now I have 2 dogs: a poodle and a boxer. My wife and I love dogs and they love us. We treat our dogs more like family members than pets. We know how it’s difficult to be away from your pup, regardless if it is only a couple of hours or days. We are a team - two very experienced dog owners. We have experience with senior dogs&cats, and pets with special needs; dogs&cats who are highly anxious, and pets who are hyper activity and need a lot of care and attention. Now we put our animal expertise to our small business for pet services. We aim to ensure your dog receives just as much love and care as it does in your presence. I’m willing to feed, walk and play with your dogs when you are not available. My schedule changes from week to week, as I’m still engaged in the transportation of pets, so always have wife for backup. We really care about healthy life style and guarantee the best care for them. I certified the American Red Cross for pet first aid as well. All animals under my care are insured, insurance policy included veterinarian reimbursement. Meeting new animal friends is something that will always bring me joy. Your dog will be in the professional and loving care when under my watch. If I sound like someone you could trust to care for your fur babies, please send me message. DROP-IN VISIT (At your house) I can go to your home multiple times per day to feed your pets food/water, go outside to potty & play, administer medications, etc. Just let me know how many times per day you’d like me to drop-in to check up on your pets/how much time you’d like me to spend while there and what you’d like me to do during drop-in visits and I will make it happen. A care summary report and photos of my drop-in visit with your pets will be sent after each drop-in. DOGGIE WALKS Walks are 30 minutes long, but can also include playtime if requested (e.g 20 minute walk + 10 minutes of play time). Meals, treats, water, and medication can be given before or after the walk if requested, just let me know and I would be more than happy to do that. A care summary report and photos from our walk will be sent after each walk. HOUSE SITTING I can care for your animals in your own home by ensuring your animals are safe and well cared for. I'll spend as much time with your pet as needed so that they have a true companion in your absence. I believe that the best pet care is done when your pet is in his/her own surroundings. I make sure gates and doors are closed and locked when needed, I follow safety checks in the home to ensure your pets are protected. In my clients home I will happily comply with any instructions to keep your pups safe. Anything that is needed for your fur babies!

About: From helping a friend groom her high-maintenance Maltese before shows to throwing tennis balls for Labradors until they’re good and tired, I am ready to do whatever your pups need to be happy and healthy! I’ve had dogs and cats all my life and pet sat for years off and on. I’ve learned a lot about dogs from friends who are trainers and volunteered at an animal shelter providing dogs with basic behavioral training. I want to earn trust and respect from each dog I’m responsible for, and ensure their health and safety at all times. I’m also organized and have a strong attention to detail, which is helpful when I take care of pets that need medications or any other extra TLC. I want each pet in my care to love me like I’m their favorite aunt! I have a flexible work schedule. I work remotely from home, which means I will be around to take dogs out for frequent bathroom breaks or exercise. If I leave the house, I usually make sure to return within 3 hours to make sure your pets aren’t left alone for too long. I keep an eye on pets if they are outside, even if they are fenced in! I like taking them for walks if that’s part of their routine, and playing with them to make sure they stay active.

“Skyla was very attentive, calm, approachable and so helpful with my little guy. I would definitely rebook with her.”

About: Hello, I'm Tana Lee, I love fur-babies! I will keep your fur-babies safe and relaxed. I specialize in in-home, long-duration pet care for those who travel frequently or face unexpected last minute challenges. While in your home, your fur-babies and I will keep to the scheduled walks you desire and give them loving attention. Let me be your go-to sitter!!! I'm currently studying music therapy and take my harp with me to practice while I'm house and pet-sitting. It is another way of providing comfort to your fur babies. I greet them with a smile and an uplifted voice. I do not reach for their heads. I find their happy spot for rubbing and try to give them the love they want or the playtime they want several times a day. I am in school so a lot of my time will be spent in homework and harp practice. I keep to the schedule you write down and set my alarms to ensure their schedules are kept.

“We appreciate Toni's effort in taking great care of our yorkie Sami (Samantha). Sami seemed very happy and relaxed the few days we were gone.”


About: As a mom, I understand responsibility routine, and gentle care. Your pets will feel right at home with me. Whether it’s daily walks feedings, play times or cuddles. I’m flexible and affordable and happy to accommodate your schedule. I typically do pet visits early morning lunch breaks evening and weekends. All pet visits will work around what is normal routine for their animal. Taking care of pets isn’t something I just fit in at something I enjoy and plan my week around. Sticking to a pets routine is what I find in the animals best interests. Feeding them, walking them playing outside and snuggles as if they were their own family.

“Sydne did a great job housesitting and taking care of our two small senior rescue dogs for a week. They both are quirky and very attached to us and she handled them with kindness and patience so they were comfortable and relaxed in our absence. Her communication was consistent and she sent updates, pictures and videos throughout the week. The house was clean and in everything in order upon our return. Thank you Sydne!”


About: I’ve been watching/ dog sitting for my bestfriends parents for years, I’ve also walked my friends dogs for years when they are out of town. I also have 2 cats of my own, who love their home environment. I do work full time mom-fri 8-5:30 but I’m free Saturday all day and Sunday mornings! I’m willing to work with you to make sure your fur babies are taken care of. I usually make sure food/ water bowls are full before leaving. I make sure they actually use the restroom before leaving and play with them if that’s something your pet enjoys and give them love since their owner can’t.

About: I have had a pet since I was born. I have helped my friends and family take care of their animals for years. I’m one of the first people that people call to take care of their babies because I treat them like my own I work from home most days and if I am not working from home all day I can work from home the days that I have your baby! I have a large fenced in back yard! I have 2 smaller dogs that get along great with other dogs! Any dog that is in my care will be loved and treated like royalty!
