About: For a little over four years I've been the go-to pet sitter for my coworkers when they go on vacation. I've researched all things related to dogs pretty much from the moment I learned to use a computer because I've spent almost all my life trying to convince my parents to get a dog. Spoiler alert, I was unsuccessful ): but not for lack of trying ("dogs are too big of a financial commitment" according to them... but four kids isn't??? but I digress lol)! Training has always been fascinating to me, it never fails to amaze me how smart dogs are! Overall I just love their energy and how loving they can be, being around dogs is truly therapeutic and does wonders for your mental health! You're so blessed to have one in your life and I would be honored to care for them (: <3 Sunday-Wednesday and Friday I work 7-3 and I’m off all day on Thursday and Saturday! Currently taking a break from school, so as soon as I get out of work I'll be free to devote my time to your doggies (: I live in a big apartment with a home office that I turn into the doggy room essentially although they are welcome to roam throughout the apartment of course! My neighborhood is very walkable (one of my favorite things about where I live) and I’m about a mile and a half away from like 3 parks!

Great service! Brad is an excellent communicator, and took great care of our dog and home. He kept me up to date and was always fast to reply. Our house was spotless when we returned and he was very tidy (which was also important to us).

About: I grew up on a farm and have experience for many years with many different animals, including dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, and even baby deer! I am the go-to pet sitter for most of my friends. I promise to care for your pet like my own ❤️ I would primarily be available on early mornings, evenings and weekends since I work full-time as a pediatric physical therapist. I can occasionally do mornings starting in the fall. I am happy to accommodate your needs the best that I can. Reach out with any questions or concerns. Eager to meet your furry friend!

Kayla was great with my baby Cassie. She came over to meet her and I knew instantly she was the perfect person to watch my dog. She sent me pictures daily which eased my mind. I don’t like leaving her but after my experience with Kayla, I feel comfortable going on vacation knowing cassie will be taken care of.

We had a wonderful experience with Ivy, who stayed overnight with our two Bernese Mountain Dog pups. She was incredibly attentive, engaging them with playtime and making sure they were comfortable and happy throughout her stay. Ivy provided regular updates, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Above all, she was professional, polite, and courteous. We highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a dependable and caring sitter.

About: Growing up with all kinds of animals has made me comfortable taking care of multiple pets at a time! Being an avid animal lover I take pride in bringing comfort to owners when needing to sit their pets! I’m currently working full-time, so I have plenty of time during the weekends for boarding as well as during the week any time after 6 o’clock! When caring for pets in clients homes I always feel comfort in a well fenced yard and comfy beds for the animals to have a relaxed time!

About: I have been around dogs my entire life, and held part-time jobs & volunteer positions fostering and helping animals find homes. I work from home full-time and my partner is a registered nurse, so we have very flexible schedules. I also do have my own amazing, handicapped senior dog, so will only accept dogs that are friendly and we’ll trained. I would love the chance to spend time with your pets & make them feel safe while you're at work or away! I know how hard it can be to find good dog sitters, and I want to be that person for someone else! I work from home full-time so am available day or night to help take care of your pets whenever you need. Usually available on weekends too. I have a one bedroom apartment in a high-rise luxury building that is pet-friendly. There are dog parks nearby and nice areas to walk, so I will make sure your pet gets exercise. I also have dog treats and some toys if your dog needs anything.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have had my own since I was younger. I currently have two small dogs, so I’m very familiar with daily care, routines, and making sure pets feel comfortable and safe. I’ve also helped take care of friends’ pets, including dogs and cats. I’ve done drop-in visits where I fed them, played with them, and made sure they were well taken care of while their owners were away. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy being around animals. I always make sure pets feel I work mornings, but I’m available for pet care in the afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I’m off on Sundays and Tuesdays, so I have extra flexibility those days for walks, drop-ins, or longer visits. I’m reliable and like to stay consistent with schedules. I’m also easy to communicate with and happy to adjust based on what works best for you and your pet. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I make sure dogs are secure on walks and always pay attention to their behavior and surroundings. I’m patient and adjust to each pet’s energy level, whether they’re playful or more calm. I also send updates and photos so you always know your pet is safe and doing well.

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 9 years old and have always had pets in my home. From playful Golden Retrievers to energetic Jack Russells - and cats with all kinds of personalities - I’m comfortable providing attentive, loving care that keeps pets happy and safe. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I currently have a very open and flexible schedule. That means I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, stick to their usual routines, and be available for last-minute or extended care when needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent so they feel comfortable and stress-free. I provide lots of attention, playtime, and affection, while also making sure their feeding, walks, and any special care needs are handled exactly as instructed. I treat both the pets and the home with the same respect I would my own.

Stefanie took care of our big pit/mix while we were away and did an excellent job. She communicated frequently and often sent pics of what he was up to. Roland can be a bit of a garbage digger and she managed him well and kept him happy during our time away. She was very clean in our home and even left us a lovely card at the end of her stay and brought in a delivery for us. I would gladly use her again for any of our pups!

Mike did a great job with our crew while we were traveling over Spring Break. We have one dog who takes some time warm up, but she was calm and easy with Mike and was behaving well throughout his stay. Mike watched both our cats and dogs, followed their schedule and kept us in the loop. He was responsive and easy to work with. Highly recommend.

I am unable board your pets in my own home but can pet/house sit at your house or take them on walks regularly I work full time in healthcare Monday-Friday from 8-4 but am available for evening walks. I get major holidays off and am available most weekends to care for your pup as well. I cannot board your dog in my home due to behavioral issues with my own pup however I am able to stay over and care for your pup in the comfortable of their own home. I follow all instructions and guidelines provided to care for your pets appropriately and never allow dogs off leash or to interact with other dogs for safety unless otherwise specified

About: I’ve cared for dogs for years through family, friends, and people in my neighborhood. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, boarding, giving lots of attention, and keeping up with each pet’s usual routine. I know every dog has a different personality, so I try to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule and I’m available seven days a week. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day. I do my best to keep pets on their normal routine and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in my home or in their owner’s home. I pay close attention to instructions, routines, feeding schedules, and any special needs. I keep a clean, calm environment, make sure doors and leashes are secure, and give pets plenty of patience, affection, and supervision.
