Christine does a phenomenal job caring for our puppy while we are at work. She responds immediately, takes a bunch of pics for us, and always ensures he is comfortable before leaving. Christine always makes sure to meet our specific needs and is very attentive with Arlo. We are so thankful to have such a reliable and kind person to assist us when needed.

I contacted Erikah, last minute, to walk my mom's energetic Golden Retriever. She responded within two hours and adjusted her plans to walk the dog the same day! My mom raved about her approach--super friendly--as well as how well she handled Beamer. He jumped all over her when she arrived, but she stayed cool, calmed him down and got to the walk. She walked him for the full hour and actually wore him down. Absolutely A+

I have NEVER heard my dog scream in excitement like he did when he saw Matt again yesterday! If I ever die, I really hope Matt & Jenni would consider taking him in! Their dog, Daisy, is seriously my dog's favorite girlfriend. Thank you both for so lovingly enriching his life!

About: As a pre-vet major, I am especially passionate about animal care, behavior, and health. Because of that, I pay close attention to each dog's behavior, comfort, and overall wellbeing. I'm patient with puppies who are still learning and gentle with older dogs who may need a slower pace or extra care. I truly love spending time with animals, and I make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and cared for while they're with me. My goal is to make your day a little easier by keeping your dog active and cared for. Since I am a college student, I schedule dog walks around my classes during the week. My current availability is: Monday: 9:15 AM-1:00 PM and 4:15 PM-9:00 PM. Tuesday: 9:45 AM-9:00 PM Wednesday: 9:15 AM-8:00 PM Thursday: 9:45 AM-4:30 PM Friday: 9:15 AM-8:00 PM Saturday: OFF Sunday: 8:30 AM-8:00 PM I always do my best to be flexible within these times and make sure your dog gets the care and attention they deserve! My priority is making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I always follow the owner's routine for walks while making sure dogs get plenty of exercise and attention when needed. As a pre-vet major, I am especially attentive to animal behavior and wellbeing, and I treat every pet like my own. 🐶

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life from small pets to large dogs and caring for them has always been second nature to me. I grew up helping friends and neighbors with their pets, which gave me a solid foundation in handling dogs of all sizes and personalities. Now, I have a 1.5 year old Lab named Knox who’s full of energy and love. He keeps me active, patience’s, and always on my toes! I also have a 9 year old cat named Levi, who brings a calm, loving balance to our home. Because of them, I understand how important it is to trust someone who will treat your pet like family Whether your dog needs a long walk, some playtime, or just a calm presence while you’re away, I’m here to help. I’m reliable, communicative, and will always make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for as if they were mine. Let me know what your pet needs. I’m happy to accommodate special routines or preferences! I’m a full-time nursing student with plenty of free time during the day, so I’m great for helping out while you’re at work. I know how important it is for pets to get attention and exercise in the middle of those long days. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, or just some company to keep your animals happy and relaxed on your busy days. I have empathy for those who having to leave their animals so safety is a top priority for me when pet sitting. I will always use a leash when on walks and at home if there is no fenced in yard available. Also would like to know if the pet has any special instructions and their likes/ dislikes.

About: I’ve always had a soft spot for senior dogs and pets that need a little extra patience, attention, or understanding. I’ve participated in shelter skip days at the SPCA, and I’m almost always drawn to the older dogs. That’s just where my heart is. I genuinely enjoy taking things at their pace, helping them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m also a huge cat person. Whether your cat is social and playful or more reserved and independent, I’m happy to meet them where they are and make sure they feel relaxed while you’re away. I understand that every pet has a different personality, routine, and comfort level. I know how important trust is when someone is caring for your pets, and I try to be the kind of sitter I’d want for my own animals, responsive, dependable, calm, and genuinely caring. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, medication routines, companionship, or just giving your pet some extra love and attention, I’m happy to help. Pet care is the perfect fit for my current life schedule. I took early retirement from my day job just so I could provide pet services. It’s way less stressful and more rewarding. I can provide overnight care for a dog in my home as well as provide drip in visits and walks. I can do extended drip in visits for cats so they have a chance to get to know me.

About: Four cats total in my life and one dog, helped clip their nails with regular vet appointments. I’m motivated to take the dog outside and play with the pets every day! I’m responsible for feeding my dog and two cats every day, taking the dog for walks and as a bonus playing with them, which they love! We have a fence and our home that the dog plays in. All pets get along and are treated very well! Enough food and water is supplied every day

About: Ever since I was a child I have always been the go to Pet sitter for all of my neighbors . Now it's for my friends and their friends. I treat all of the animals I watch as if they were my own. Each one deserves that. I am great at waking and giving baths. My favorite part of the job is getting to know each animals destinctive personalities. The only problem I seem to have is giving too many hugs and kisses. Pet care is my favorite job , but not my only one. I do however work an evening job some nights till about 9 pm. I have fenced yard with plenty of room for your pet. We live in a quiet neighborhood with plenty of long streets for walking safely.

Lillian is awesome! I just rescued a 5-month old puppy and she loved Lillian from the moment we met at the meet and greet. Lillian gives her a walk, lunch, and plenty of attention while helping to teach some manners on which we've been working. It's great having someone trust worthy that my puppy also loves! Thank you! ♥
