About: I grew up with always having and taking care of 2+ dogs in my house. Since I always had many dogs in the house, I was asked to dog sit frequently, as well. This included over night stays, administering medications and food, potty breaks, and walks! I absolutely adore dogs and their different personalities. I I adopted a Jack Russel Mix that is now about a year old. She is my best friend. I would love to put my love for dogs towards any pups that might need some care while their parents are out and about. I recently just graduated from college and am starting a Master’s program shortly. I am free mornings and afternoons for drop-in visits and walks for your pup. I can easily walk dogs on a in a designated area or let them roam in a fenced backyard. I can crate them/make sure they are safe and secure before I leave.
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life since childhood, and every summer I eagerly took on pet-sitting opportunities for friends, family, and neighbors. I have experience caring for pets of all ages…from energetic puppies and playful kittens to senior dogs and cats who need extra patience and attention. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing dependable, loving care so you can feel confident while you're away.🩷 I work full time during the week so I will be available for evening walks / drop-ins and open for weekend play. Peace of mind for you & tail wags for them! For dog walks and drop-in visits, I prioritize safety, reliability, and communication. I carefully follow each pet owner's instructions regarding feeding, medication, exercise, and home access. During walks, I use secure leashes and remain aware of my surroundings to ensure your dog's safety. During drop-ins, I provide attentive care, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of affection. I will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away.
“Dylan is a great dog sitter. I have a little dog what does not like many people and though she was still scared she warmed up to Dylan and let him walk her. He provided great notes and daily updates. I am very hesitant with who I let watch my dogs but I will for sure be using Dylan in the future.”
“Michael was great watching our boy Maverick! Maverick is a 110lb Doberman and Michael did a great job handling him on walks! He was reliable with letting him out 3x per day and making sure Maverick had food and water. Overall, we felt super comfortable with him taking care of our baby while we were out of town! We will definitely be using him again in the future!”
“! Brooke did an excellent job walking and feeding my dog! She was reliable, attentive, and made sure my pup was well cared for. Communication was a breeze. Btooke responded quickly to texts and kept me updated. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!”
About: I’m a hockey player at day and a pet lover 21/7. I am a very disciplined worker person who is a meticulous planner. I love pets and I will go above and beyond to make sure your pet is treated like a princess/ king. I am available during week days anytime after 3 some days earlier depending on my schedule. Open only some weekends. I am available for boarding but very rarely. I have trained my dog to be able to walk off leash during walks and will always make sure their little paws are clean by the end. Your pet will always have fun with me.
“Couldn’t be happier with the care my dog received after needing a last minute check in while I was out of town. Great communication and did everything I asked without a problem”

Angelina was able to take my last minute booking and immediately set up a meeting with me to learn all about my dogs and met with them in person prior to her first sitting. She is very attentive and kept me informed about my dogs the whole time I was away. I highly recommend her services to anyone.
Kristi was so wonderful with our dogs! We were worried about our 9 month old Rottie because he had never been cared for by anyone other than family, but Kristi made an extra meet and greet visit to make sure Goose was comfortable with her before we left. During the visit she went above and beyond to make sure my pups were happy. We are so glad we have found her to take care of our dogs when we are in need!
Our two kitties are friendly but shy of strangers, so we didn't expect much interaction between them and Catherine. Not so; by the second day everyone was the best of friends, Maybe the cats can sense kindness because we believe Catherine went out of her way to be kind to them. She spent time with them and communicated promptly with us while we were gone. We loved what she did for us, and for sure she is our "go-to" person for future pet care.
Frequent flier here! Morgan is so sweet and easy to communicate with, I always feel comfortable leaving my old girl Lucy with her. As Lucy gets older and more difficult to manage, Morgan continues to be patient with her and give her the love she needs while I'm away. I would recommend her to anyone with pet sitting needs in a heartbeat!
