About: Hi! I’m someone who genuinely loves animals and treats every pet like family. I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable leaving your pet in someone else’s care, so I focus on making both pets and owners feel safe, relaxed, and cared for from day one. I have experience caring for pets with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and needs — including administering medications, working with reactive dogs, senior dogs, and puppies. I understand that every pet is unique, and I’m patient, attentive, and committed to creating a calm, positive environment where they feel secure and comfortable. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime, or simply wants extra affection and attention, I tailor my care to fit their individual routine and personality. I’m confident reading body language and helping nervous or high-energy pets feel safe and understood. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates so you always know your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I also make it a priority to keep routines consistent to help reduce stress and make the experience as comfortable as possible for your pet. My goal is simple: to give your pet a loving, stress-free experience while giving you total peace of mind. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! I currently stay at home so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive, loving care for your pets. I’m available for boarding, daycare, walks, and drop-in visits throughout the week and weekends. Your pet will never feel rushed or overlooked — I make it a priority to give each animal personalized attention, exercise, playtime, and affection. I’m also happy to accommodate feeding schedules, medication routines, and special care instructions to help your pet feel comfortable and at home. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where animals can feel secure and loved while you’re away. I have a fenced yard for supervised outdoor play. I treat every pet like family and always follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding routines, exercise needs, medications, and preferred sleeping arrangements.

About: I've pet sit for my neighbors when they go out of town. I treat their pets as if there my own. I ask numerous questions about the pet in question in order to properly care for the pet. I'm also very observant and cautious when it comes to a pets safety I'm currently unemployed trying to start a etsy and ebay store as well as a youtube channel. I'm also helping take care of my 97 year old aunt. my schedule is quite open. I love animals and they bring me great joy. hoping to make a little money and some new friends whether they are human or four legged. my parents never allowed me to have a pet so when our neighbors went out of time I jumped at the chance of watching their pets, I treated them with love and care as if they were my own.

About: Your dog’s stay with me is designed to feel safe, predictable, and enriching so that it’s the perfect balance of comfort and stimulation. I run a structured boarding routine every day so pups know what to expect and owners feel confident about the care their dog is receiving. Daily Routine Includes: • Morning potty break & breakfast to start the day calmly and consistently • Indoor play and relaxation time to ease into the morning • Midday enrichment such as yard play, puzzle feeders, snuffle mats, and frozen Kongs • Afternoon quiet time for rest and decompression (dogs nap in crates or gated rooms with soft music and a frozen Kong) • Evening potty break & dinner followed by light play • Evening enrichment session with backyard time, training games, or cuddles • Daily photo update sent between 7–9pm so you can see how your pup is doing • Final potty break before bedtime • Late-night safety check to ensure everyone is settled and comfortable On weekends, when more hands are available, dogs enjoy extra outdoor play, supervised group time, and longer enrichment blocks. Every pup also goes home with a seasonal bandana as a fun, personalized touch to celebrate their stay. My goal is to provide a boarding experience that feels structured, safe, and full of love; exactly the kind of care I’d want for my own pets. I keep a steady rhythm throughout the day so dogs always know what comes next. Care is spaced out intentionally with time for activity, rest, enrichment, and evening wind‑down. This predictable flow helps dogs settle in quickly, reduces stress, and ensures every pup gets consistent attention from morning through late‑night safety checks. If your dog has specific routines at home, I’m happy to mirror them so their stay feels familiar and comfortable. Your dog’s comfort and safety come first in my home. I maintain a clean, supervised environment with secure spaces for rest, structured play, and enrichment. Dogs are monitored during transitions, given individualized attention, and separated when needed to keep interactions positive. I use crates or gated areas for decompression, follow owner instructions closely, and make sure every pup has fresh water, safe enrichment, and a calm place to relax. My goal is to create a space where dogs feel protected, understood, and genuinely cared for.

“Kassandra was great to work with and took great care of our dogs! She was on time, communicative and shared lots of photos. She even made sure their water bowls were topped off before heading out. Highly recommend!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that caring for animals is more than just a hobby for me it’s something I have professional experience with and truly love. I currently work at a dog and cat daycare facility, where I care for pets of all ages and personalities, including puppies, kittens, and senior dogs. I also have experience administering medications and providing extra care for senior pets and animals with special needs. I previously interned at a cat veterinary clinic for a year, which gave me valuable experience with cats and helped me learn how to recognize changes in behavior and health. I am also CPR certified in both dogs and cats, so your pets’ safety is always one of my top priorities. I have experience with many other animals as well, including guinea pigs, hamsters, mice, fish, etc. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, nervous and needs patience, or older and needs a little extra care, I’m comfortable adjusting to their individual needs. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away! I have school in the mornings and sometimes work in the afternoons, so I have flexibility throughout my week to provide pet care. I’m able to plan my schedule around your pet’s needs and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I’m especially available for walks, drop-ins, and care during the times I’m not in class or at work. I provide care in my clients’ homes, where I focus on keeping pets comfortable in their familiar environment and maintaining their normal routine. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and any other special needs. I’m respectful of your home and make sure your pets receive plenty of attention, love, and care while you’re away.

“Melissa clearly LOVES dogs. Gracie loved her immediately and was happy to go in the car with her to the park for a walk. Gracie didn't last the entire hour and Melissa didn't pressure Gracie to walk farther than she wanted to. She read Gracie's body language and responded appropriately.”

“Audrey was amazing! She really saved me when I had a last minute need. She does great with Billie, is SOO communicative and sends plenty of pictures! Definitely recommend her!”

About: Hi! I’m Taylor. I have been a pet lover my entire life and have had pets in the home since I was a baby. Growing up I watched many neighborhood pets and volunteered at the local animal shelter. As an adult I continued my volunteer work and became a pet foster. I just adopted my first fur baby in December. I am a teacher with summers off and would love to spend my days walking, playing and loving on your fur baby. With summer just a few short weeks away I will have a ton of available time and flexibility. I am happy to work with your schedule to plan what works best for you and your fur baby. I have been around animals since the time I was little. When I care for your pet I will give it all of the love and attention I would give my own. I also have had a range of experiences from working at the animal shelter so I have experience with all sizes of pets and a variety of temperaments.

About: Hi! My name is Lucie and I have a huge passion for all things dog, I have been a dog groomer for a year now and have been pet sitting for at least 4. I am very used to nervous or difficult dogs. Dogs are a huge part of my life :) I work 4 days a week but my job is very flexible so I can easily leave to quickly let pups out to pee on work days! Like i mentioned I have been pet sitting for 4 years and have built a lot of trust with my clients! I do lots of text check ins with pet parents so they know they’re baby is doing good!

“Amber has been an amazingly reliable, friendly and fun person to get to know and have walking Lucy!! Not sure how my luck turned out so well, but I am super grateful to have her helping with Lucy!!”

About: I have experience working with animals for years. I currently work at the animal shelter. Whenever I’m not am not working, I am available for drop in visits and walks! I am available Monday, Sunday, and Wednesdays. The other days I am busy at work or with my dogs. I am happy to help you care for your animals. When you’re away, I treat your home with respect and care. Your pet’s happiness and safety are my first priority. I make sure their day to day is going as smoothly as possible. 😊

About: I've been lucky to be raised in a dog household and have always been surrounded by dogs- both big and small! I truly treat every dog as my own and give them the love and care they deserve. I have experience with large breeds (I had a great Dane growing up!), puppies and senior dogs. I work fully remote so I'll be at home most of the day to care for and play with throughout the day. I'm available most weekends when I'm not traveling a few times throughout the year. I have an elderly dog, Titus, who has lived with other dogs most of his life and gets along well with all animals (except those pesky squirrels!). I have a fenced in yard where, weather-depending, I leave the door open to allow them to go in & out as they please. I like to take my dog on walks around the neighborhood almost daily and we'd love to have a friend join us!

“Great as always!”

About: As an animal lover, I’ve watched my friends cats & dogs while they’re out of town. My favorite part of watching them is taking them on walks along with giving them lots of cuddles & play time. I currently work as an esthetician & artist who creates my own schedule based off of appointments & gigs. My career is flexible & allows me to care for animals most time of the day & week! In my own home, I make sure my cats receive playtime, attention, pets & cuddles. Within a clients home, I’d make sure to understand each individuals animals needs and how they are typically cared for. This is vital to me, so the animals are able to maintain their same routine & schedule alongside receiving the care & playtime they deserve.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs. My family used to breed AKC Collie’s, owning 2 collies in total. Once I moved to college, I couldn’t have a collie where I lived so I got a Sheltie. He’s been with me ever since, though his “time” is approaching. (Passed away 4/6/2021) I’ve dog sat for several friends. I teach therefore summers off means a lot of availability for me to care for your dog! I’m no professional but I’m good with training and very patient with dogs. My sheltie was house broken in 6 months and knew all the basic commands. I have so much fun with dogs and have children to play with them too! Dogs must be good with other dogs and with children. I look forward to meeting your dog or dogs! I care a lot about animals! I do offer services year round, however, June through August are my peak times. I teach, therefore September through May are harder for me to care for other’s pets during the week. It can be done, but it is more difficult, as the pets will be cooped up from 7-3:30. I am always available on weekends! I offer discounts for repeat clients. Discount applied after booking. I am a teacher, therefore I primarily take on clients during the summer and on weekends. During the week is not out of question, just know they will be alone (must bring crate due to no supervision) from about 7 until 3/3:30 during the months school is in session. June through mid August, I am home except occasional errands and will be available for frequent potty breaks! I have a fenced in yard for your dog(s) to run around! I do have gentle giant (Great Dane) who loves to play. He can be intimidating, but he’s so sweet and just wants to play. Disclaimer- he drools a lot. I can keep your pet clean, though! I also have a Boston Terrier named Ellie. She is a very special story and although I picked her up as a 6 month old pup in 2012, we have been apart for 10 years and she’s back where she belongs. <3 If I come to your home for services, I am very professional and will be sure to follow your steps completely. I might sometimes need to bring my children with me, depending on the day.

About: Hi, I’m Diana! With over 10 years of experience caring for animals, I provide loving and reliable pet care tailored to your furry friend’s needs. As a proud cat parent to two kittens, I offer boarding for well-behaved dogs that get along with cats. Whether your pet needs walks, drop-in visits, or a cozy home while you're away, I’ll treat them like family. I can’t wait to meet your pup or kitty—let’s make their stay comfortable and fun! Pet care is a central part of my daily routine. I work close to home, which allows me to check in on the animals in my care frequently, ensuring they receive plenty of attention, potty breaks, and playtime throughout the day. I start my mornings with feeding, walks, and cuddles, and I make sure each pet gets the care they need according to their routine. In the evenings, I spend extra time engaging with them, whether that’s going for a walk, playing, or just providing a cozy, comforting environment. My flexible schedule allows me to provide attentive and personalized care, so pet parents can have peace of mind knowing their furry friends are well taken care of. In my home, I ensure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I provide a structured routine with regular feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and plenty of playtime and affection. Since I have two kittens, I only board dogs that are well-behaved around cats to maintain a calm and happy environment for everyone. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize following their established routine to keep pets comfortable and minimize stress. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care they may need, such as medication or specific training cues. I also provide regular updates to pet parents, so they can feel at ease knowing their furry friends are in good hands. Whether in my home or theirs, I treat every pet like family!

“Courtney was awesome with my shiba inu, despite her being a difficult dog. Her patience and kindness allowed her to build trust with my dog. She was prompt and provided a very detailed summary. Definitely recommend to anyone and will definitely book again!!”
