Amy was fantastic! We appreciated her updates and pictures, and especially her wonderful care of Theodore. It's always hard to leave him when we travel, and coming home to him purring and happy from having been well-loved while we're gone makes us feel better about being away.

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.

Michelle took care of my two elderly cats, one of which needed medication twice a day. Everything went very well and I will book her again if available.

About: I have been around dogs my entire life. I have dog sat in home and at my home walking them, bathing them, and loving on them. We love dogs at our house!

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.

Melissa is exceptionally caring and had a wonderful approach with our Great Dane, Kota. She left the perfect level of details after each of her visits and was thoughtful about our dogs knee (recovering from surgery) while still giving her plenty of time to play. Our dog was clearly comfortable and happy to see Melissa each visit- which is saying a lot for an anxious pup! Could not recommend Melissa more highly!!

About: Hello! We are an active family with a young son and an almost three year old Aussie Doodle named Marley and our newest addition is a cat named Moon. When it is nice out, you will find us outside! Marley loves having other dogs around whether it be a playmate or a snuggle buddy. Moon is usually hiding and can be kept in a separate area of the house, if needed. My partner and I have opposite schedules and Grandparents that double as babysitters. That means there is someone at the house the majority of the time to help take special care of your pet. We can be pretty flexible with drop off and pick up times. We have lots of love to give out and they will be pampered on their doggy vacation! I can also accommodate if your dog would prefer them to be the only pet in the house. Marley frequently stays at his Grandparent's house and plays with his Cousin- Pongo :) If it is your first time booking with me, use promo code KIMS56130 for $20 off.

About: Passionate Pet Care for Your Furry Friend! As a lifelong dog lover, I've spent years caring for our canine companions and creating unforgettable experiences. Whether it's a leisurely stroll or an energetic play session, I adore spending quality time with our furry friends. I understand that schedules are crucial for many dogs, and I'm dedicated to ensuring their routines are met with precision and care. Beyond just walks, I'm passionate about keeping our pup clean and happy. From grooming to playtime, every moment is an opportunity to show your dog the love and attention they deserve. Let me help provide your pet with the care and companionship they need to thrive! Imagine your furry friend enjoying a day filled with comfort and companionship. As a remote worker, I have the flexibility to care for your pet throughout the day, providing them with a cozy and welcoming space in my home office. They'll feel right at ease as they lounge nearby while I work. But the fun doesn't stop there! In the evenings, my family joins in on the fun, showering your pet with love and playtime. We create a warm and lively atmosphere that's perfect for socializing and making unforgettable memories. Your pet will feel like part of the family, receiving all the attention and affection they deserve. Let us provide your beloved companion with a second home where they can thrive and feel loved! At our home, your pet will enjoy the freedom to play safely in our fully fenced yard, while we ensure their well-being at all times. Whether they're exploring the outdoors or cozying up indoors, we prioritize their safety and comfort. We also understand that sometimes it's best for your pet to stay in their own familiar surroundings. That's why we offer flexible care options: we can welcome your pet into our home or visit them at yours. If a home visit is what you prefer, we'll work closely with you to tailor a schedule that suits your needs and ensure that distance is never a barrier to providing top-notch care. Your pet's comfort and happiness are our top priority, and we're committed to giving you peace of mind while you're away.

About: Hi! I’m Alex, and I’d love to be your dog’s next best friend! ❤️🐶 Animals have been a huge part of my life from day one—my dad was a veterinarian, we had multiple cats and dogs at home and I spent much of my childhood helping out in his clinic. That early experience gave me a deep understanding of animal behavior, care, and most of all—a serious soft spot for furry friends. Sorry scaly guys, you just aren’t for me. ❌🐍🦎 I’ve had many different breeds in my home and I currently have a sweet English Setter who loves to run and snuggle as much as I do. I’ve helped potty train and teach basic obedience to my puppies, so I’m comfortable with high-energy dogs and understand their needs. Whether it’s a long walk, a drop-in visit, or a cozy day at my home, your pup will be treated like family—spoiled with love, attention, and plenty of belly rubs. I’m an active person and a runner, so if your dog loves to get outside and burn energy, I’m your girl! I offer: ✅ Dog walking ✅ Daytime drop-ins ✅ Doggy daycare ✅ Doggy House sitting ✅ Limited boarding (non-reactive dogs and kid-friendly dogs only – I have two young children at home) I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment and truly enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality. I know how much your pets mean to you, and I promise to treat them with the same care and love I give my own. I can’t wait to meet you and your four-legged family member! 🐾 I’m currently working a hybrid, part time position and care for my two preschoolers. My schedule gives me flexibility for walks during the day most days of the week and long runs on Mondays, Fridays and the weekend. I have limited availability for house sitting and boarding through the week, please inquire with specific times. I hope to become a part of your weekly pet care routine. I treat your pet as my own. I ensure a secure leash when walking and I have a fenced in yard at my home in a quiet residential area. I am also able to crate your pet as needed.

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. My experience caring for pets began when I was a toddler and has continued throughout every stage of my life. Over the years, I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals and have built lasting relationships with many happy clients who trust me with their beloved pets time and time again. One of the first things people notice about me when animals are around is just how much I genuinely love and adore them. Whether it’s stopping to say hello to a dog on a walk, earning the trust of a shy cat, or spending extra time making sure a pet feels comfortable and loved, caring for animals is something that comes naturally to me. My home is filled with furry family members, giving me hands-on experience with pets of all personalities, ages, and needs. I have my own dog and currently live with two dogs and five cats, so I understand the daily commitment, patience, and attention that excellent pet care requires. From energetic dogs who need plenty of exercise and playtime to independent cats who appreciate a calm and caring presence, I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique personality and routine. What sets me apart from other sitters is that I don’t see pet care as just a job—it’s something I truly enjoy. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone who will treat them like family, not just another appointment on a schedule. I take the time to learn their routines, understand their quirks, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is not only to give pet owners peace of mind, but to make sure their pets are happy, relaxed, and excited to see me again. When your pet is in my care, they receive the same level of attention, affection, and dedication that I give my own. Pet sitting is a part-time job for me, which allows me to maintain a fairly flexible schedule and dedicate quality time to the pets in my care. I do my best to accommodate each pet owner’s needs and can often work with a variety of schedules, including weekdays, evenings, weekends, and holidays when available. Because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, I make it a priority to provide dependable care, timely communication, and plenty of attention for every pet. If you have specific scheduling needs, feel free to reach out—I’m always happy to discuss availability and find a solution that works for both you and your pet. Safety is always my top priority when caring for pets in a client’s home. Before walks, I make sure collars, harnesses, and leashes fit properly and are securely fastened. I’m careful when entering and leaving the home to ensure doors are closed so pets can’t accidentally escape. If pets have access to a fenced yard, I always check that gates are closed and the area is secure before letting them outside. During walks, I stay aware of our surroundings and do not allow dogs to approach unfamiliar dogs, helping avoid unnecessary stress or potential conflicts. Along with keeping pets safe, I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and consistency with their normal routine so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away.

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 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.

This was our first experience using a sitter and it was the best. We felt so comfortable with Emma, and the way she loved our babies. She went above and beyond making sure they were taken care of and gave them so much attention. They were not used to strangers but the loved Emma! Would definitely use her again and again! Thanks Emma!
