“Joy did a wonderful job with my pups while I was away for nearly 2weeks. Unexpectedly she had to take my one to the vet as we noticed something just the day before I had to leave. She kept me fully updated along the way and I felt a lot better knowing she would show the same amount of concern and care as I would. I received frequent updates and lots of pictures too! My dogs are definitely a handful and take a good amount of patience, so I really appreciate all that she does for me. I would definitely have Joy stay at my house any time I am in need of a kind hearted pet lover.”

“Brittany was amazing! Our dog has separation anxiety, and she took amazing care of him - he usually doesn't do well without us but was clearly comfortable with Brittany and her family! We really appreciate the frequent updates and pictures, and Brittany went out of her way to drop him back off at our place. We'll definitely be using her services again!”

“Lori did a wonderful job, appreciate her care taken for both my big Cane Corso and my little Belgian Malinois puppy. She walked them, got them out for play and they enjoyed all the treats! Will definitely request her again in the future.”
About: Growing up I had a sweet little fur baby named Bruno. He was a pug and my whole life. My family and I loved him so much after rescuing him he lived to be almost 16 years of age! Since then, I spent many weekends dog or cat sitting as well as working at a doggy daycare, called Paws for a brief period of time where I was able to hone in my skills. Daily/weekly pet care comes from observing the comfort and behaviors of each pet. There are a big dog park just around the corner of my apartment as well as a hiking route I love to take dogs to run around with. It's a perfect place to go for a few hours so that your fur babys can have the most fun! Safety and trust are the most important part of having an animal in my home. I want to make sure your fur baby is given everything they need so they can enjoy their time with me. Animals lives are short, and they deserve the best with the time they have.

“Rose was absolutely amazing with Ghost 🐾 You can tell she genuinely loves animals and treated him like her own. She kept us updated, gave him so much love and attention, and gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Coming home to a happy, relaxed pup says everything. We’re so grateful for her and would trust her with Ghost again in a heartbeat 💕”

“Casey was excellent. He took care of all of our pets, including two cats, a dog, and six ducks he was considerate of our space, clean, and trustworthy. I feel grateful to know that we have someone now that we can rely on.”

About: I take care of my two dogs named Ivy and Cooper I rescued them both when they were puppies Cooper is now 12 and Ivy is now 4. I walk them once a day. I cuddle and play with them a lot. I’m currently not working so my schedule is very flexible right now to watch and take the dogs for a walk five days a week. I do not have a fenced yard but I am always outside when my dogs are outside I crate my older dog at night I let them out first thing in the morning and feed them first thing and fill up their water bowls.
“Amanda is amazing! They are so happy and comfortable with her. She supports the needs of the 5 month old puppy and the 13 year old dog (and the cat) with love and structure. Her years of experience with dogs really shows!”

“Kendra cared for our 2 large dogs for 5 days. I have a 2 year old Great Dane Mastiff mix and a 12 year old English Mastiff. They both instantly fell in love with her kind nature. My old guy needs daily meds and an eye drop in his eye, Kendra had no issues with that. We came back, our house was clean and well kept. Most importantly our babies were happy and had a great time hanging out with her. Will rebook soon.”

About: I am an experienced and dependable pet caregiver with a Lifelong love for dogs. Having cared for three dogs, including both puppies and senior dogs, I understand the unique needs that come with every stage of a dog's life. In addition to caring for dogs throughout my life, I regularly dog sit and walk dogs for friends, family, and neighbors. I have experience with small, medium, and large breeds, caring for multiple dogs at once, administering medications, following feeding schedules, providing exercise, and offering overnight care when needed. Because I work from home, I have the flexibility to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. My favorite part of pet care is getting to know each dog's unique personality, building a bond with them, and seeing their excitement and tail wags when they feel happy, comfortable, and loved. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to provide a safe, reliable, and caring experience that gives pet owners peace of mind while they're away. As a work-from-home pet caregiver, I’m able to provide pets with consistent attention throughout the day. I enjoy living an active lifestyle, including daily walks and regular exercise, so I’m comfortable handling dogs with a variety of energy levels, including larger and more active breeds. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or cuddles, I work pet care naturally into my routine and strive to keep each pet’s schedule as consistent as possible. I care for pets by prioritizing their comfort, safety, and normal routine in either my home or the client’s home. Because I work from home, I’m able to provide consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. I make sure each pet gets individualized attention based on their energy level, personality, and any special instructions from the owner. When caring in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all routines exactly as instructed so pets feel secure in their familiar environment. I keep communication open with regular updates, photos, and check-ins so owners always know how their pet is doing. My goal is to make pets feel comfortable, loved, and stress-free while their owners are away.
About: I have always had dogs my whole life growing up. Recently our two dogs have gone through a board and train program and I have learned alot from that! I’m currently working a full time job. I am available in the afternoons usually and could do pop in visit during the day depending on the time. I am usually available after 5pm for sure but can work out times during the day that would work! I have a fenced in yard on my property. I can take your dog for a walk ; let them out for potty breaks however you usually do. I can Crate your dog as I have experience with that as well.
“Paula was fantastic. We went through a lot of issues with our old cat, Wee Tee, who was in the last stages of kidney failure, and she was helpful and understanding throughout the process. In the end, we needed to euthanize him right before leaving on our trip. We were very concerned about leaving our younger cat, Archie, so soon after his partner had died, so Paula came, stayed with him and gave him so much love! We could not have asked for a more caring sitter and hope to use her again whenever we travel.”
“Craig was wonderful with my dogs. He sent pictures and responded to emails. He also stayed at my home and brought in packages as requested. I would highly recommend him for your dog and house sitting needs!”

“Grace was an exceptional for taking care of our dog/home She made sure he ate played was given attention She sent us pictures showing that he was happy with all of his favorite toys which is allowed us to relax and not stress about being away, knowing he was -being well cared for We will definitely request Grace for future trips Our dog has a new friend”

“Kylie did great with my animals when I was away for the weekend. Both my dog and cat can be wary of new people, but she was patient with them and they warmed up to her. I’m sure they would be happy to have her here again!”


“Rylinn was great! Flawless communication, animals and home well cared for. Thankful for her time and help last minute. Definitely will keep her in mind for future pet sitting needs!”

The only person I contacted that responded, was available and showed up to meet my pup on the date we set. My girl loved her immediately and I felt very comfortable leaving her for the day while I got my infusion. Being anxiety free for that is so important and her obvious love for dogs made that possible. She did everything I asked, including sneaking out of the back door when she had to leave for a little bit, so my dog wouldn't have separation anxiety. Very sweet and left the cutest little polaroid picture! Would gladly hire her again if she's available for my next one.
