“Missy was great with our 2 cats while we were away! I was worried about our older cat because she has recently been finicky about food but Missy kept me informed and up to date on everything! She was super responsive, sent photos and updates while I was gone and the cats were happy and the house looked great when we returned! I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets whether is be midday checks or while your away. Her animal care knowledge and attention to detail made me feel very comfortable while we were gone.”
“You were exceptional and knew exactly what personality each of my dogs have. You captured each one's personality in the photos you would send daily. Stop in and visit anytime. I will definitely be relying on you again!”
“Nina took great care of our two senior kitties while we were traveling abroad; she even went to the post office to pick up the pet meds that didn’t arrive on time prior to our departure. We returned home to two relaxed, happy cats. Your pets will be well looked after!”
“Emily instills a lot of confidence in her judgment on how to interact with our pup who can be skidding at times. She was comfortable and knowledgeable and we look forward to her working w Eva more in future.”
About: With over a decade of hands-on experience, I bring a deep understanding of dogs of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I’ve worked at a professional dog kennel and a grooming salon, where I gained valuable skills in handling dogs in both high-energy and sensitive environments. From daily care routines to recognizing behavior cues, I’ve developed a calm, confident approach that keeps pets comfortable and happy. I’ve also spent the past 10 years raising my own dog, giving me first-hand experience in everything from puppy training to senior care. Whether your pet needs structured attention or just a loving companion while you’re away, I provide reliable, knowledgeable, and heartfelt care. I’m currently not working, so my schedule is completely open. I’m able to give pets my full attention and be there whenever they need care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In my home or yours, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment where routines are respected and every animal feels secure. I keep a close eye on behavior and energy levels, making sure pets are always safe, happy, and stress-free. I treat each pet like my own, because I know how much they mean to you.
About: I offer pet photography! I am a photographer and would love to get your dog professional photos while I am pet sitting. I’ve had animals my entire childhood. We have never been without a dog in our home. I am experienced in dog walking, over night stays, check ins, and belly rubs! I am currently not working so I will have all the time to care for your dogs any day! Weekdays or weekends I will be there for your pup! I will follow any directions you give me based on your dogs needs. I am very rule oriented so anything you have to do for your pup will be done by me!
About: Growing up with and subsequently having my own pets, I understand the importance of having a trusted contact to call on when needed. My specialty lies with young, middle age and senior dogs. I love how each pup has their own personality and I do what I can to help them shine! Whether they are really active and need lots of attention or like to snuggle inside, I let them be themselves! I also have experience with cats and guinea pigs and am open to taking on more diverse pets. I am available for daily walks, overnights or day time activities for animals of all types! I am currently self-employed and make my own schedule, so I am able to fit in any kind of hours necessary! I am also available for overnights, extended stays and vacations. I am available to come to your own home to keep your pet(s) comfortable and safe within their spaces and routines. If extended overnight care is needed, we can explore the option of coming to my own home as well. I have a very large fenced in yard in a small, safe community.

Madelyn N.
“Madelyn has spent her whole life with pets, and is a caring and responsible animal-lover. She has experience with indoor and outdoor pets including fish, cats, bunnies, dogs and even birds; all of varying breeds and personalities. Growing up, she watched “Dogs 101” religiously and literally had a notebook filled with notes. Now, she helps dog sit my senior chihuahua mutt named Spencer for short and long periods of time and he loves her! Maddy has experience pet-sitting for friends and family, and would make a great pet caregiver!”
