Finding a new pet partner to take care of your fur babies is isn’t always easy but I am confident to say that we found a perfect pet partnership with Laura. Laura arranged a meet in greet over the phone and then in person to get to know my two dogs. I could tell right away that Laura would be a great fit and it definitely showed when we returned from our trip and our dogs were happy and not stressed by our departure. Laura was always on time and her communication was incredibly helpful while we were away. I appreciated Laura’s flexibility in our schedules if something came up and know that our pups were in great hands ☺️. I’m only hesitant to write this post because I don’t want to lose her to other interested people! She’s great. We’ll definitely be rebooking with her in the future.

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give every dog like they’re my own. I’m patient, reliable, and experienced with puppies, senior dogs, and different personalities. Whether your dog needs extra playtime, medication reminders, walks, or just comfort while you’re away, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m currently working part time so i can be with them early in the morning, mid-day, and at night! I love being able to make sure they feel safe all day! I have two dogs of my own, so caring for pets is already a big part of my daily routine. I make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, and a comfortable environment. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s normal schedule as closely as possible to help them feel safe and stress-free while their owner is away. I treat every pet like family and make sure they get lots of love and care.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs of every kind since I was 14 years old. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to check in on their pets. Yes, I watched cats as well. Don’t tell my dog! In my house our lives revolve around them. That of course doesn’t mean that they run the house, but we plan around them. My favorite sound and site are when they are eating: because to me it means they are safe and happy! I am working from home so I can be there for the dogs. Other than shopping and chores, im around. I can make my schedule flexible to accommodate 4 legged guests. I have a fenced yard so your dog can go out to sniff and do their business. I am also walking the dogs at least once a day, sometimes 2 short walks

About: I have taken care of family/friends/other people’s pets since I was 13. I can feed, let out, walk, and provide enrichment/care for animals. I also have experience with administering medication to animals as well. I am a college student on break for the summer, so my availability is pretty open! I am available both weeks and weekends for most of the summer. I will care for your pets as if they were my own (I love my dogs)! I want to ensure that your pet feels safe and comfortable in my care, while also respecting your rules, such as keeping fence gates shut or crating pets when I am not there.

About: I’m a remote worker who has been lucky enough to love and care for my own cat, dog, hamster, and horse, as well as numerous other critters in kennels, barns, and animal shelters. I work remotely, so my time is very flexible. I’m happy to drop in for a visit or walk any time of day, rain, blizzard, or shine! I live in a quiet house with an eleven-year-old Miniature Schnauzer who loves playing tug-of-war and snuggling with his furry buddies. When I’m working with a pet, I always play off of the animal’s behavior and respect their boundaries. The health, safety, and cleanliness of your pet are my top priorities.

Maddie took a last minute booking for me when I found out my husband was going to be home really late and I had just had surgery. She wore the dogs out and they came back so happy. Super appreciative of her being willing to do it on short notice and take such great care of the dogs.

Michelle is great! She was very communicative and asked a lot of good questions to make sure she was prepared to give my dog the best care. My dog and cat instantly clicked with her. Looking forward to more future bookings. :)

About: Aside from taking care of my own dogs since I was little, I have been actively involved with animal rescue for many years and sat on the Board of Directors for Ruff Start Rescue for 5yrs Prior to starting our family. My husband and I have been fostering animals since 2010 ranging from dogs, cats, and a teacup pig. We welcome every furry friend into our home as if they were our own. We have also raised a young pup (Bruin) who love other animals. Our children are also growing up to be animals lovers themselves. Our home would provide someone who is home to keep your loved one company, a fenced in yard to run in back, and a comfy bed to sleep in. 🐾 I work from home, so your pet will receive plenty of attention, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, daycare, overnight boarding, and medication schedules. Whether your pet needs lots of playtime or simply a quiet place to relax, I can adjust to their routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every animal as if they were my own and always take time to learn their routine, preferences, and any special needs before their stay. My home is clean, pet-friendly, and supervised throughout the day. I carefully introduce dogs when appropriate and can separate pets if they prefer their own space. You’ll also receive regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.

About: I have been an animal person for as long as I can remember! I grew up around all types of dogs (Shih Tzus, labs, King Charles, Cocker Spaniels). I personally grew up having a Shih Tzu who I took care of throughout her life. As she reached her seniors years I adjusted her lifestyle to fit her needs. I am well acquainted with taking dogs/cats on stroller rides and the extra needs that come with senior care. I currently have a German Shepherd, Lola and a domestic short hair tuxedo cat, Gordon. Both pets love their sunshine and enjoy their walking time. I am used to getting in my miles with my German Shepherd and my stroller time with Gordon. Whether you have a cat or dog I would love to be a helpful hand in the drop ins/walks that they need! 🐾😊 I am a teacher so my summers are free! I am very flexible on times. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I am free for all mornings and days. Tuesday and Thursday I am very flexible on morning times and some evening times! I am will adapt to any routine your pets need. I am often pet sitting for my own friends and families and are able to help out with what is needed. Whether that be outside time, walking, or play time. If I know the routine I will make sure to follow it!

Jaci has been wonderful for our puppy, Lilly! She met with us before starting to walk Lilly, so Lilly could get to know her. Jaci is also very patient and caring with Lilly. I love all the pictures and details about how Lilly did greeting her and walking with Jaci. I would highly recommend Jaci. We look forward to working with her often!

About: I am a very loving person all around. I have many years and experience in pet sitting and in pet therapy, rescue and fostering. My friends and family trust me completely to take care of their animals. Myself and my husband and side kick Bob, love all kinds of fur babies and decided to turn our passion into a business, where both of us have the pleasure of meeting you, your pets, and doing drop in visits in your home. Mostly, we will treat and love your fur babies just like they are our own. I for sure will make visiting your home and your pets a top priority. I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule to meet your needs. I have a safe and clean environment. I have plenty of toys and cat treats. I have lots of playtime and keep a regular routine for them. I get down to their level and give them lots of love and attention, as I would with your pets as well. I also have a husband who is a great cat daddy and is a wonderful wingman and he loves animals including dogs as much as I do. We would treat our pet sitting responsibilities seriously, as well as respecting your home and pets for pet sitting.

About: I am experienced in senior pets, and reactive dogs. I can walk reactive dogs up to 30 pounds. I avoid busy times and know to look for triggers before the pup notices. I do not have a weight limit for non-reactive dogs. Additionally, I have experience with freshwater aquariums, parrots, hamsters, and mice! Play, cuddles (or space), and leashed walks will keep us quite busy! Expect a lot of photos. I do have a peanut allergy so I am not able to offer peanut based treats, and ask that they be put away beforehand. Thank you! I work full-time Thursday-Sunday so I have full availability to watch your pets on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday without distractions! Walks, drop-ins, and meet and greet availability would be anytime Monday-Wednesday or after 6pm on my work days. I will follow your instructions, set alarms for potty breaks and walks, and be available to send photo and text updates. During house sitting, I will let you know about my drop-in visit schedule. Your pet will never be alone without notice.

About: I have pet-sat and walked dogs in my neighborhood and for family and friends. I have stayed overnight, taking care of both cats and dogs for weeks at a time. I care for each pet like mine and take pride in offering reliable, personalized care. I’m great at reading animal body language and adjusting to their comfort level—whether that means lots of play or a calm companion. I work part-time, so I have plenty of time to play with your pets, including overnight care! I am available during the week and on weekends. Even though I pet sit part-time, caring for animals is a big part of my life. I plan my week around the pets I care for, ensuring I have plenty of time to give them the love and attention they need. I respect their routine and the household's privacy when caring for pets in their home. I maintain their feeding, medication, and exercise schedules exactly as instructed, giving pets the same love and attention I would give my own. I keep everything clean and organized, provide regular updates (including photos and notes), and ensure your pet feels safe and comforted while you're away. I'm always happy to water plants, bring in the mail, or take care of other small tasks as needed.

Yascha has been doing regular walks with our dogs for a few weeks now. Dogs are super excited when he arrives. Yascha has been very responsive and has been accommodating to all requests (harness type, protective dog clothing in inclimate weather, wiping dogs feet etc). Would definitely recommend Yascha!
