Totally recommend Kelly! I will be a regular.”

About: I have been caring for dogs for myself, family and friends for more than 35 years. I am currently retired, so I have lots of time to spend with your pets. I have two dogs of my own - mini poodle and mini golden doodle - who are my babies. I will treat your pets just as I would my own, plenty of play, cuddles and belly rubs. I volunteer with a lost animal resource group, helping reunite pets and their families. I can also work with your dog on basic commands and administer oral and topical medications. I have a large fenced in yard for them to run in. I am currently retired and my schedule is free, so I can accommodate your schedule from morning to evening. I am available Monday through Friday and weekends. I am able to take your dog on a walk in the neighborhood, or I can let them out in the yard if it is fenced. I can feed and give medications if that is necessary. I am reliable and dependable and love being with animals. Whatever your pet needs, I will follow your instructions and provide the best possible care for them. If your dog is staying with me, they will be able to enjoy a fenced in .75 acre yard. They will need to meet my two dogs, so a meet and greet is needed to ensure they get along.
“Brittanie and Ryan are amazing and caring couple. They have a lovely family and 2 beautiful dogs. We were made to feel very welcome in their house and they did everything they could to give Zoe a comfortable stay at their house. They are very responsive and communicate well. Zoe comes home happy after each stay at their house. We recommend them highly....”
About: We’re lifelong dog lovers with two pups of our own. We’ve had many opportunities to care for our friends’ and neighbors’ dogs, so we’re experienced with different breeds and personalities. From post-surgery care to upset tummies - we’ve seen it all. Your pet will be treated like family! We work from home full-time, so we’re around throughout the day to give pets lots of attention, walks and care. We also tend to stay in on weekends, making it easy to stick to your pet’s routine and provide consistent companionship. In our home, your pet will get plenty of love and attention alongside our two friendly dogs for company. We can crate your dog if needed and always follow your care instructions. While we don’t have a fenced yard yet, it’s in our future plans - until then, all dogs will be leashed while outside and outdoor time is supervised. We also only host one family’s dogs at a time to ensure a calm, personalized experience for your pet.
“Naomi was great! Our house sitter had to take off early and couldn't wait till our flight arrives so we had to find someone to watch Kuma for the day. Naomi coordinated the drop off with the house sitter in the morning and brought Kuma back home safe to us at night! Kuma seemed very happy and we appreciate Naomi being flexible with us!”
“Thank you for taking great care of Geordi for the day! Geordi has been part of our family for almost one year and this was the first time that we had him stay with a sitter. Dorothy was wonderful! She cared about Geordi and she did a great job. Dorothy sent updates and photos several times during the day. Geordi got to play with her dogs which was a great experience. When Geordi got home, he curled up and took a nap which was awesome. Thank you Dorothy for the great care you took with our pup. A+ experience.”
About: Hi, my name is Susan and I am paws-atively changing the game in pet care. I have 17 years of experience, caring for pets from rabbits to cats and dogs. My life has been richer with fur babies by my side. They add joy to my life as they give back so much. Find your fur-ever friend here and I will provide paws-ative care for your fur baby! I am available seven days a week to give your fur baby plenty of good quality care! It is my job to protect them and I take that seriously. My clients find I am responsible and reliable. I am available for dog walks, doggy daycare, & boarding at my home. I feel it is important to exercise the dogs each day with daily walks & playing fetch/catch inside.
“Anand was proactive in sharing updates/pics on a regular basis. Taco got along well with his pets Oreo and Pace. Definitely gonna trust him with my pet again.”
About: Although I’m newer to professional pet sitting, I’ve spent a lot of time around animals and caring for them comes naturally to me. I’ve pet sat a sweet, shy cat before and did well keeping her comfortable and clean, including regular litter box cleaning and feeding. I also lived with a dog and loved taking him on walks and spending time with him—my gentle nature helped us bond quickly. Friends often comment on how calm and kind I am with their pets, whether I’m just visiting or spending extended time with them. I’m also a nurse, so I’m used to providing attentive, reliable care—and that extends to animals, too. I genuinely love being around pets and treat them with patience, love, and respect. I have a very flexible schedule since I’m in between nursing jobs, which gives me lots of time to focus on pet care. I’m available most days for dog walking, drop-ins, or pet sitting. As I return to work in nursing, I still plan to continue pet sitting and walking part-time. Whether it’s mornings, evenings, or weekends I follow the pet owner's instructions, especially when it comes to feeding schedules, portion sizes, and keeping water bowls full and clean. I make sure the environment is safe, calm, and free of clutter. My home is pet-friendly and quiet, with no other animals around—so it's a good space for pets who might be shy, anxious, or prefer one-on-one attention.
