“Emily was amazing! She was so good with my 2 pups. I am so thankful for the care and love she showed for Wallace and Wyatt in my home for 2 days. I love my dogs and it was so refreshing to know they were in such great hands while I was away, i was able to relax for once without worrying about them! I would recommend her to anyone.”

About: Hello, I grew up in a household with 5 dogs and was always around helping with them in any way I could. I recently worked at a doggy daycare/hotel for about two years. Throughout my years of pet sitting I’ve done it all, whether it was feeding, bathing, or cleaning up after them. I’ve taken care of all ages of dogs, cats, birds, and even a pig before. I love all animals and would love to be considered for any pet care needs! I currently am working part time but am home most of the time. When I am home, the dogs and I play inside and out. Your pets won’t go more than 4 hours alone. I have a mostly fenced in yard for us to go out and play in. I have one older dog to keep yours company and I have one cat who minds his business and doesn’t bother dogs.
About: I have been taking care of my pets since I was 8 and have been pet sitting for family and friends since 12. I have done everything from stopping by to full on house sitting. I am currently working 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. I have every Sunday off. Every other week alternates Saturdays for a weekday. I am great with animals and will give them lots of love and play while watching. I can stick to a schedule to be sure not interrupt their usual day.
About: I have grown up with dogs in the house and I just absolutely adore them. I have to care for my own dog often since my family is very busy and I have dog sat multiple families dogs and just went to play with them as well. I am just as excited to spend time with them as they are with us! I currently don’t have a job and am looking for something fun to do! I am open to any times really, I can adjust my day to when you need things done. I have a fenced in yard and occasionally another dog to possibly keep yours company. I am fully capable of crating yours if need and doing whatever they need.
“This is who you want to care for your dogs! Fantastic experience leaving our dogs for the first time with someone not family. Zero issues. Home and dogs were well cared for and taken care of by someone who knows dogs and has experience.”

“Mackenzie was great! She took the time to come do a meet and greet prior to our booking so she could meet the boys, see the house, and make sure it was a good fit. We learned about her dog and were super comfortable leaving the boys (and our home) in her care. She is very responsive and easy to communicate with. The boys loved her. We would absolutely use her again and recommend her to others.”

“Makenzie did great with our 2 dogs, while we were out of town for 1.5 weeks. She was attentive to their needs and kept us updated during our time away. We highly recommend Makenzie!”

About: Hi there! I’m passionate about caring for pets and have a background in animal healing. With professional training and experience, I can provide your pet with personalized care and attention. I enjoy helping pets socialize and can set up playdates to keep them engaged and happy. As an avid hiker, I love spending time outdoors, and I’ll ensure your furry friend gets plenty of exercise and adventure in nature. Rest assured, your pet will be in loving hands with me. Let’s connect and make sure your companion has a great time while you’re away! Pet care is a big part of my daily routine, seamlessly fitting into my varied schedule. I usually start my mornings early, allowing plenty of time to spend with your pets. I’m rarely gone for long periods, so your furry friends will always have my attention. I give him full attention the whole time I give them rubbed downs and play with them and check and see how they're doing And make sure they're comfortable.
About: Taken care of all pets since a very young age. I've had multiple cats my whole life and a recently passed dog aswell as fish, rats, guinea pigs, and insects. Family and friends have asked for me to pet-sit and for a year I took care of 2 adorable puppies while their parents worked late to start their business. Currently working part-time with a very flexible schedule and have absolutely no problem calling off once or twice a week(I hate my job I wish I could care for animals full time) I spoil all of my pets and have no issue with treating your babies the same way! I maintain a clean environment with advanced nutrition and probably excessive play with my tabby cat!
“This is the third time Elizbeth cared for my two dogs and one cat. This was a 2-night house-sitting job. I can't say enough positive things about how Elizabeth ensured my pets' welfare. Both dogs are pretty sensitive and have been uneasy when we have been away in the past. Not so with Elizabeth! They had a great time playing and cuddling with her, and they settled in beautifully. When we got home, I could see how comfortable they are with Elizabeth. What a difference and what a relief! I recommend Elizabeth highly for her pet sitting skills and dedication to the best care for my pets.”

About: Have trained and raised 3 beautiful dogs and have family within the foster and veterinary fields. Having a few pit bulls, have basic obedience and leash walking training..we live super close to the water as well as dog parks and playgrounds and would love to help other pups have a good and safe life:) Or a cozy environment if your fur baby prefers a calm safe space. One of us works from home, mainly nights, so there is always someone around to take care of the precious pup..and our weekends consist of hikes, water adventures, less reactive trails, and movie parties! We have a closed in 3 floor apartment as well as multiple courtyards and doggy parks right around the corner from where we live. We live directly next to a school so a fenced in playground (without other dogs) is also available. We have a large and small sized crate with lots of enrichment treat, toys, galore !
About: I have had and taken care of dogs since a very young age. I have always taken pride to help care for dogs. Even with special abilities or medical problems. My dog Luna was Diagnosed with Epilepsy. So I am experienced and know what to do it high risk situations I work a full time job Monday through Friday from 8:30-5. I am free anytime after 5pm during the week. I am unable to do weekends or stay over nights. So if your looking for a 4-5 hour sitter. I'm your person! I will not be able to take your dog to my house. I can crate, walk, watch, or anything you would like me to do.
