“Samantha was so amazing this weekend! She had 3 drop-in visits to watch my 4 cats and all of them were happy and taken care of. One of my cats is very very nervous around new people but he was comfortable enough around Samantha that he came out and ate on the second visit. So grateful!”


“Madison was great with my cats while I was gone for a long weekend! She was extremely flexible with their specific individual dietary needs and went above and beyond with their care! I will definitely be a returning customer :)”


About: Hey there my name is Danielle, I have taken care of dogs of all ages ranging from puppies going through their first heat to senior dogs with lack of abilities. Growing up I had all sorts of pets in my home and enjoyed sitting and dog walking in my neighborhood. Also one of my first jobs was at a dog boarding and day care facility. I love all breeds of dogs and cats and just want to keep them happy and healthy and have a fun time. I am new to the area and do not have a set schedule yet. I am free during most week days during typical working hours. I love the outdoors so any chance to get some sunshine. I have a fenced backyard, and my dog is friendly. I do not leave dogs unattended outside because I want to be sure they won't try to escape the yard or dig holes. When in a client's home I am sure to read all instructions given prior to my drop in. I make sure that the their pet is given my full attention during my time there. If I have any questions I am not afraid to ask. I will also send updates and photos if requested.

“Kristen is an amazing pet sitter! She took time to talk to and pet each of our four cats, dropped by every couple of days and kept the house super clean and litters waste free. She even dropped off some toys and treats for them. Highly recommend!”

“Claire is such a caring pet sitter. She has such a compassion and was able to help our family last minute. My three dogs immediately loved her and they normally don’t take that well to strangers. She has the magic touch!”


About: I’ve had animals my entire life - we’ve always had cats, dogs and horses! My experience ranges from 4-H and training my Christmas present (a Great Dane puppy) by myself at 11 to Pony Club with my first horse at age 13. I started taking care of other’s pets when I was 13 and worked at a veterinarian’s office in Montana where I grew up. In college my main source of income was petsitting and babysitting, so I have a lot of experience with dog walking, exercising horses, long term stays, etc. I work remotely full-time as a recruiter for a study abroad company. My schedule is very flexible so it’s easy for me to take breaks during the day! I unfortunately am not able to have pets in my home. I take care of any pet like I would my own, with patience, compassion, attention to detail, and a lot of pride.

“Great job, I felt very comfortable leaving my fur babies with him”


About: I have taken care of cats, dogs, birds, reptiles, and other creatures since I was 16 years of age. I enjoy the company of furry friends and happy tail wags! I am currently pursuing by M.S. in Cybersecurity and Information Assurance full-time, self-paced, and I am available for boarding any day during the week, including weekends, from 0900-1700. I have a fenced yard and take walks every 2 hours and play often. My own dog has several toys he likes to play tug of war with and is a toy enthusiast.

About: I started volunteering with animals at 16 with my local animal shelter and my love for working with them soared from there. I have ridden horses, trained dogs (basic obedience and service work), and have cared for horses, small animals, reptiles, rodents and fish. No pet, too big or small, has been a challenge for me. I own three large dogs! Two mixes and a purebred husky! I currently am living in Aiken, SC. I work at a family farm 5 hrs out of the day and have an 8 hour break in the middle of the shift! I have a very open availability currently! If there is EVER an emergency that comes into play that for some reason I can’t make it to a previously scheduled and planned visit, my Mom steps in and gets the job done. Never will your pet be ignored, forgotten, or neglected. I’m a person, that unless you give me freedom, will follow your exact routine and protocol for your animal. Going outside of a pet’s comfort zone can be unsafe and throw your pet off. Keeping your pet happy and safe is the main goal.

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.

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!

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.

About: I have been caring for a variety of pets ranging from cats and dogs to rodents and horses since I was 12 years old. Since then I have fully trained my own dog to do basic tasks but also to “find” things (such as an inhaler for my mom) and stand with her back to my calves if we are in crowded areas. I am always learning new ways to better care for pets and new tricks for my own dog! I have just graduated from university so I am currently searching for a full-time job in my field. That means for now I am completely free to help out with pets whether that means walking, drop in visits, or house sitting. If I am coming over to housesit I will likely be at the house for the majority of the day and stay over at night too (or whatever the owner requests.) I am completely flexible and open to negotiation.

“Hillary is top notch. She took care of our boys as if her own. Regular pics, play time, and all. When we got back the boys were out looking for her. Thanks so much Hillary for the exceptional care of our fur babies.”


About: I’ve been caring for all types of animals for as long as I could remember from birds to horses to ducks and fish. I love them all and I’ve never met an animal that I couldn’t form a relationship or bond with. My days are normally pretty quiet so on average I tend to give car at the we hours of the morning until five and six. I always let the pets do what feels comfortable to them as long as it follows the parents rules. I never force them to interact and do anything that makes them uncomfortable.

I can be available for overnight care, daily visits, walking as well as care in my home for any family or dog. I have a large fenced in back yard. I also live on a cul de sac in a lovely neighborhood. Allowing for safe walks as well. Caring for animals is what we do! My schedule flexibility can be constructed around your pets and family's needs. I have the space and time for dogs of all personalities! Each pet is different and special in their own right and I discuss individual needs and expectations so families and pets are cared for with the utmost consistency. Pets are family so caring for them is our daily life not a routine. Their comfort and well-being is our top priority. My day is usually based around those needs! In the way that is most comfortable for them and their family. Through great communication and understanding their specific needs. Usually, the dogs and cats are very good communicators!
