“Thank you Mackenzie! She was able to accommodate a same-week booking and was responsive, communicative, and reliable. She sent me pictures and updates about my cats while I was gone, followed all of the instructions, and did a great job! I’d highly recommend and will hopefully be using her services again when I need a cat sitter.”


About: I've had at least one dog since I was 23, and currently, I have two that I absolutely adore. Lately, I've been searching for pet sitters and thought, "Why not do it myself?" I’d love to help others by providing trustworthy care for their four-legged friends when they can’t be there. For drop-ins I can come 3 times during the day everyday except Tuesday and Wednesday, I can only do 2 on those days. I work in the office two days a week but am home on weekends. On office days, I’m there for 8 hours, but I can come home during lunch to let your dogs out if needed. If your dog gets along with mine, they’ll have free rein of the house. If not, they’ll stay in the kitchen when I can’t supervise them. My yard is secure since I have an escape artist of my own! :) I typically only take one dog at a time (or two if they're from the same family).

About: I have a lifelong passion for animals, nurtured since childhood, and currently share my home with two playful dogs and three affectionate cats. My supportive husband and three kids also adore our furry friends. With my experience caring for and fostering dogs at a local rescue, I love helping pets feel comfortable and happy. Our spacious fenced backyard and warm family atmosphere ensure your pup will have a great time playing and enjoying companionship. I am dedicated to providing all the love & care to make sure your furry friend has a great safe time’ As a stay-at-home mom, my schedule allows me to focus on my family and pets while my kids are in school. I usually run short errands or attend quick appointments, never gone for more than two hours, so I’m always nearby for my furry friends. I create a warm and welcoming space where every pet feels loved and comfortable. With my own dogs and cats at home, I know how important it is to keep a close eye on our furry friends, and I’m always nearby to give them the care they need. My time volunteering at a local rescue has given me the skills to handle a variety of dogs from playful puppies to gentle seniors. Sharing detailed information about your dog helps me tailor their care and ensure their safety, making them feel right at home. They’ll always be in a nurturing environment where they’re never alone for long and receive all the attention they crave!

About: Growing up with dogs as a part of the family I have taken care of them my whole life. When I was 15 my family brought home a new puppy and I didn’t have a summer job, so she was my responsibility. Over the years I have taken care of dogs of all ages from energetic puppies to senior pups that need a little more love and understanding. I have administered medications and eye drops with ease and few trick up my sleeves. I enjoy having training sessions with the dogs and even teaching them a new trick while their family is away. This helps give them something to focus on and encourages bonding between us. I would be honored to take care of your furry family member while you’re away. I'm currently working part time and would love to help out your family while I have the time. While in my current status I can do more walks, potty breaks as needed. Potty break is the first and foremost needed when I arrive at a client's home. Then a walk, a little time for some training and a little bit of play as well. It's just as important they have some mental stimulation.

About: I have been around animals for 43 years. I have volunteered at an animal shelter. I have had my own personal zoo at my house 😊 I am currently working part time so I have lots of time to entertain and cuddle your pets 😊. For the most part I am always available. I have owned my home for 20+ years. I have a large fenced in backyard with plenty of room for playing and lots of zoomies.

About: With 15+ years of experience caring for both cats and dogs, I provide loving, dependable pet sitting tailored to each animal’s personality and needs. From energetic pups to shy kitties, I treat every pet like my own—because they deserve nothing less. I’m a clear and thoughtful communicator. I keep pet parents informed and reassured with regular updates and check-ins. I currently work from home, so I’m very flexible with morning, afternoon, or evening visits. Let me know your schedule, and I’ll be there. Looking forward to meeting your pet! Although I don’t offer my in-home services, I am able to drop in on pets at client homes! I can easily follow feeding schedules and routines to make your pet feel safe and comfortable while you’re away!

“Jill is fantastic with our dog Wilson , he warmed up to her upon meeting her. She helped with his potty regiment , and feeding while we were away and kept him company. Jill is flexible with time Would definitely rebook Jill again next time or even on long work days !”


“Morgan was available on short notice and made adjustments as my schedule changed leading up to the booking. During my time out of town, it was a huge relief seeing pictures and details of what was happening at home. Morgan went above and beyond while she was taking care of my furbabies to ensure they had everything they needed, even turning on my heat when the temps dropped and checking on my turtle to ensure he was safe too! My pups are old and can need a little patience and alot of love...knowing Morgan was there gave me all the peace I needed to be able to focus on my trip. Thanks so much Morgan!!!!”

Kate W.
“Kate is the only one I trust to watch my 1-year old Aussie-doodle Mealla. I’ve used her numerous times over the years. I know that she will closely follow the care guidance I provide and look after Mealla like she is her own puppy. It is such a relief to have such a kind, detail-oriented and trustworthy person to care for my girl when I can’t.”


Alexandra J.
“I highly recommend Alexandra to anyone who needs a loving, patient, caring and fun place for their loved fur-baby to stay. Alexandra has watched out precious "Luna" on multiple occasions, and our normally shy dog gets so excited when we bring her to Alexandra to stay while we are out of town. It makes us feel much better knowing our girl is happy and safe when we need to spend time apart. Our Luna has pretty intense separation anxiety, but she does really well with Alexandra.”

She takes wonderful care of my 2 large dogs on a regular, whether it's for a 1/2 hour visit while I'm at work, or staying with them at our home for a week when I go out of town.!! I have known Nicholle for over 3 years. I completely trust Nicholle to stay in our home- she is dependable and loves my dogs!! She takes wonderful care of them and gives them treats and snuggles, which they Love! Nicholle has a lot of knowledge about dogs and knows how to care for them. She is good about contacting me if there is a question or an issue I need to be aware of. Nicholle has even taught my older dogs a few tricks, like how to sit and shake hands/ paws before they get a treat. She has also taught them to roll over! They get very excited whenever "Aunt Nicholle" comes to take care of them!!”

“Rebecca is the real deal. She has been super star with my GSD Jake. She has been wonderful watching Jake as a young energetic pup, a mischievous adult, and as a slow arthritic senior. From administer meds (pills and eye drops) to keeping my reactive boy out of trouble, she had been wonderful and Jake absolutely loves her. There is no one I trust more to watch my sweet boy when I cannot.”
