About: I am a very fun-loving person who loves dogs of all sizes, especially the smaller ones as I had one of my own for most of my life. I have some pet experience as I have sat for a family friend's dog on a couple different occasions and my cousin's dogs. When I dog sat, I was very responsible and made sure that everything was done efficiently. I gave the dogs lots and lots of love and attention. I made sure the pet was fed at the correct times in the day. My availability is I am available all weekends, late afternoons, evenings, and during the summer time. I live in an apartment complex with lots of dog walking space as I live right near the green belt.

About: Hello! Dogs have always been a huge part of my life — I’ve had them since I was a kid and now have two sweet dogs of my own that I love with my entire heart. I know firsthand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your fur babies. I’ve been helping friends and family with pet sitting and dog walking for years, and I love giving each pet lots of love, attention, and playtime. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, a cozy overnight stay, or just some extra belly rubs, I’m here to help. I’d love to meet you and your pets soon! I am self employed and work from home, so I have plenty of time daily to walk and play with your pups! My schedule is very flexible so I can make most any time and day work. I do live in an apartment, so I am not currently taking on pet sitting at my home. But I am more than happy to watch your pup at your place!

“Anna is awesome! She’s flexible, communicative and she makes me feel at ease when I’m at work long hours and my dog is at home. She goes the extra mile and Lenny and I really appreciate her!”


“Did an awesome job walking my high energy dog! Turbo normally needs time to warm up to people and since he is a big dog people are usually scared but Damon did a great job handling him.”


About: Hi! I’m Erin, wife and mom of 2 teenagers. I currently have way more free time now that my children are older so I thought why not do something that I absolutely love! Caring for all types of pets! With years of hands-on experience, I offer dependable, compassionate care for pets of all kinds—from energetic pups needing long walks to senior or sick animals requiring extra attention. I've bottle-fed kittens, nursed sick pets back to health, trained dogs in basic commands, and loved every minute of it. Whether it's daily walks, in-home sitting, or just a comforting visit while you're away, I treat your pet like family. My goal is simple: happy, healthy pets and total peace of mind for you. I even have experience in farm pets from chickens to rabbits and even tortoises. Caring for pets is a joyful part of my daily and weekly routine. Whether it’s morning walks, afternoon visits, or evening feedings, I build my schedule around giving animals the attention, love, and care they need. Spending time with pets isn’t a task—it’s something I genuinely look forward to every day. I also do cleaning and errands if that is something you’re also looking for. You can trust me to care for your pets like my own—whether it’s in-home pet sitting or daily dog walks. I’m experienced, reliable, and truly passionate about animals. I ensure your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. From feeding and playtime to cuddles and cleanups, I provide attentive, personalized care that gives you complete peace of mind.

“Faith was absolutely amazing! Came thru clutch when our regular sitter last minute canceled and our little baby was stuck inside!”


“Brittani was very responsive and professional! She provided wonderful updates and followed all the specific instructions I had provided for walking my dog while he is still adjusting to living in a new place!”


“Maia walked my pup twice a day for two weeks and was awesome!! She sent lots of pictures and updates about each walk . I felt so much relief knowing my girl was having fun on walks with Maia while I was stuck at work. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy walker/sitter!”


About: About Me Hi! My name is Karina, and I’ve been caring for animals my entire life. I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, and horses, all of which were professionally trained or trained by me personally. My lifelong connection with animals has taught me patience, responsibility, and the importance of providing pets with a loving and enriching environment. Today, I share my home with my own beloved dog and cats, who are well-trained and socialized. I understand the unique needs of different breeds and personalities, and I go out of my way to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My Home & Setup • Large, fenced in backyard perfect for playtime and exercise • Doggie pool, grassy areas, and sprinklers for outdoor fun • Litter Robot and a standard litter box available for cat guests • Clean, safe indoor space with plenty of snuggles and supervision Why Pet Owners Love Me I’m dedicated to giving animals the best life possible. Whether it’s walks, enrichment activities, or just a quiet cuddle session, your pet will receive the same care and affection I give my own. I’m happy to accommodate special routines, training cues, or medical needs as well. Let me know how I can help keep your furry family member happy while you’re away! One of the biggest advantages I bring as a sitter is my incredibly flexible schedule. I’m self-employed and work from home, which means I have full control over my time and can easily prioritize pet care. Whether your pet needs early morning walks, midday check ins, or overnight care, I’m able to accommodate a wide variety of routines and timelines. I’m available throughout the week and on weekends, and I’m happy to adjust my schedule to fit yours. Pet care isn’t just something I squeeze in, it’s a natural part of my day. Your pet will have consistent attention, companionship, and care whenever they need it. I understand that every animal has a unique personality and set of needs, whether it’s a high-energy pup, a shy senior cat, or anything in between. I take the time to learn what makes your pet feel safe and comfortable. In my home, I provide a secure, pet friendly environment with a fully fenced yard, shaded areas, and indoor spaces that allow for both play and relaxation. I can accommodate crate-trained pets with a crate, maintain any training routines you have in place, and adjust my approach for pets who need extra gentleness or structure. When caring for pets in your home, I aim to keep their routine as consistent as possible, feeding schedules, walks, medication, crate time, and behavioral expectations included. I’m also experienced in administering both oral and injectable medications, and I always keep safety, cleanliness, and your pet’s emotional well being as top priorities. Your pet’s comfort and your peace of mind matter deeply to me.

“Love Rachel, as do our dogs! Having her as a backup allows us to go about our lives and do what needs to be done without worrying about our fur babies!”


About: Hello! My name is Vivian. What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience with animals of all kinds. I grew up an animal lover surrounded by dogs and large farm animals teaching me proper pet responsibility, patience, and deep compassion. I have hands on experience vaccinating large farm animals, administering medications, and providing attentive care to puppies, kittens, and senior pets. I am confident handling animals of all sizes and temperaments, and I always adapt my care to meet each pet’s individual needs. Whether this is crate training a new puppy, supporting an older pet with mobility issues, or simply giving extra cuddles and playtime, I treat every pet like family and my own! Your pet’s health, happiness, and safety are always my top priorities! <3 Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine since I work from home 3–4 days a week. This flexible schedule allows me to be available for pets throughout the day, whether it's providing company and care at home or doing check-ins and walks in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I enjoy building pet care into my day, it keeps me active and brings a lot of joy and purpose to my routine. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I always prioritize safety, comfort, and personalized attention. In my home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space, toys, and cozy resting areas. I stick closely to each pet’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, and playtime, to help them feel secure and at ease. I also have a sweet small dog named Harley, a rescue pup from Mexico, who absolutely loves all dogs and people. He’s gentle, playful, and always happy to make new His his presence often helps visiting pets feel more relaxed and welcome. When caring for pets in a client’s home - whether it’s dog walking, check-ins, or visits, I follow all instructions carefully, give pets the love and attention they need, and keep the space tidy and respected. I also send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether it’s daycare, boarding, or a quick visit, I treat every pet like they’re part of the family.

About: I have an extensive history of caring for my own personal pets including fish, hamsters, dogs, cats, and bunnies. Family members, friends, and even strangers have entrusted me with their pets for years and I would love the opportunity to continue being that trusting pet sitter. As an animal lover with a flexible schedule and who does not currently have a pet, I need an outlet to spread some love to furry friends. Being a current student with limited time spent at in-person classes, I have a very flexible schedule. I am able to drop in almost anytime during the day as long as your desired schedule works around my few in-person classes. Most of my weekends are free and flexible as well! :) I think comfort and ease is a huge priority when caring for a pet that is unfamiliar to me, that is why I prefer pet sitting in an environment that is familiar and comfortable for your pet. I try to approach every pet is compassion, gentleness, and most importantly, patience. You know your pet better than anyone and I am willing to follow any and all rules and guidelines you outline for your specific furry friend. I will go above and beyond to ensure your furry friend is cared for properly and most importantly remains safe.

“Love Grace! I have her for a re-occurring walks to split Sanders’ alone time during the work week. She really cares and is very mindful of your preferences. Definitely goes above and beyond for communication. Highly recommend her! :)”


“Valeria has been amazing. She was hired to walk my dog while I was unable to on Sundays and was extremely accommodating and made sure to ask all the questions to ensure that her and my pup had the best time. My pup always has a smile on her face when I get home after this long day and I can only imagine it’s because of the great care that Valeria gives her. Highly would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to take care of their animals.”

Aaron R.
“Erin R. is an absolute dog whisperer with a heart of gold and the patience of a saint. From the first sniff-and-greet, my two wildly different pups, smaller sassy Salsa girl and my oversized cuddle-monster Handsome boy were completely smitten. Erin didn’t just handle them, she *got* them. Salsa tried her usual dramatic performance (part potty, part soap opera star), and Handsome brought his full body leaning game, but Erin showed up with calm confidence, belly rubs, and just the right amount of silly voices. Somehow, she had them both behaving like perfect angels. Salsa stopped judging the mailman for five whole minutes, and Handsome didn’t try to sit on her (a miracle in itself). I swear they both cried when she left. If you're looking for someone who treats your dogs like family, Erin’s the one. Bonus: she leaves your pups happier, your pup space cleaner, and your heart lighter. Book her before word gets out and she’s booked solid!”

Karina G.
“10000% YES! We were in a bind right before we left for our trip from Phoenix to Europe with no one to watch our dog, Daisy for 11 days while we were gone. Thankfully we found Karina just in time for our trip and she swooped in to save the day! Daisy played with her dog Moose, went on walks together in the park, played in her grassy backyard, splashed in the kiddie pool and got ALL of the belly rubs. It was so nice to get daily pictures and videos from Karina so we knew Daisy was safe and happy. I actually think Daisy was a little sad we were home! It's so nice to know that the next time we need a pet sitter, for the weekend or for a long trip, Karina is there to help us. One thing checked off our list. Thanks again! PS. Daisy sends her licks & tail wags.”

“Vivian did a wonderful job with my big old Cane Corso “Kanye”. He loved her comforting presence and was patient with his patrol-like alertness while on walks, 10/10 would recommend her to keep your furry pal company while away from home!”


Nicole K.
“Nicole is absolutely amazing with pets! She has been a sitter for my dog Maisy, who has tons of energy and requires a lot of attention, and she handles it all with so much patience and care. Maisy adores her—which says a lot because she's not always easy to keep up with! Nicole goes above and beyond to make sure she’s not just cared for, but also happy, stimulated, and loved. I completely trust her with my dog and would recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and compassionate pet sitter.”

Braden S.
“Braden has been irreplaceable when it’s come to my pet care. He would take my dog out to play and potty when I was working long hours. When he decided to get a dog of his own I knew he would be great. He has raised his German short haired pointer so well, even without taking him hunting. His dog Bruno is so obedient that they go on walks with no leash. His dog and my dog quickly became best friends, despite their size difference. I am so grateful to have had someone as responsible and respectful as Braden to help me with my fur baby.”
