“Jenny started doing drop in visits with my 2 doggos this week. I was a little hesitant at first because my dogs haven’t been around a lot of people. They warmed up to her very quickly! Jenny post pictures of them daily and it keeps my heart at ease. Highly recommend Jenny. You can tell immediately that she has a love for animals.”


“Gabriel did a fantastic job with our pups! He was very attentive and asked many questions during the pre-drop in visit. During our time away he made sure to take photos and keep us informed on how they were doing. I would recommend him for your sitting needs!”


“Ashley was absolutely amazing. This was our first time leaving pops with anyone and as soon as her first visit was over, we knew he was in great hands. She took pictures and spent so much time with her. It made our trip even better because we were not worried about a thing at home with our cat.”


About: **Please understand we can only consider requests with completed profiles. Think of it like online dating for pets—we just want to make sure it’s a good match on both sides! We share our home with one large, lovable dog—who just so happens to be the ultimate dog sitter! He’s incredibly gentle and gets along wonderfully with dogs of all breeds and sizes. With experience fostering through the Humane Society, we’ve developed a deep love and understanding for pups of all kinds. Spoiling them with love, care, and attention is just what we do best! **Just a heads-up—we’d really appreciate it if you could choose drop-off and pick-up times that match your plans as closely as possible. It helps us keep things running smoothly! If pick-up is after 10 PM, we kindly ask that your pup stays an extra night to keep things calm and comfy for everyone.** I work from home, so I’m able to take quick walk or play breaks throughout the day. Whether your pup needs a little activity or just some quiet companionship, I’m here to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. While we don’t have a fenced yard, we do have a cozy screened-in sun porch where our own pups love to lounge and keep an eye on the birds. If your dog prefers a crate, I’m happy to accommodate that. And if they’re more into the laid-back lifestyle, they’re welcome to relax on the couch or guest bed—whatever makes them feel at home!

“I had a fantastic experience with Matthew! They followed all directions perfectly and communicated with me throughout the process, which made everything so much easier. It was clear that they genuinely cared for my pet and ensured their comfort and happiness. I highly recommend Matthew to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive sitter.”

About: Hello! My name is Karissa and I'm 25. I've taken care of, fostered, and owned many cats and dogs throughout all life stages. As a child, I always had animals in the house to take care of, and I've been dog/cat sitting since I was 16. I am familiar with kittens and puppies, but also with elderly dogs/cats as well as dogs/cats with various medical conditions that may need different kinds of medicine administration or lifestyle adjustments. I am currently available full time for your pet, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your animals! I am available for house sitting and stopping by your home. I understand that keeping our pets safe and happy is of the highest priority, and how I will take care of your pets will reflect that. It is always important to make sure your pups are going on walks fit for their lifestyle/needs and that every cat is getting the stimulation they need while you are away.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10, providing trustworthy, attentive service to neighbors and friends.

I’ll provide thoughtful, attentive care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, ensuring their safety, happiness, and well-being while you’re away, just as I would for my own.

“Natalie did an amazing job! From the moment my husband and I met her, we trusted her and felt comfortable having her take care of our furbabies. Natalie's level of communication was a ten which made it easy to be away and trust that our pets were in the best of hands.”


“Amanda is sweet, professional, dependable and she loves my doggies. More importantly, they love her. She doesn’t commit unless she can do it and she’s flexible. If you come back early, I would highly recommend her and I would highly recommend tipping her very well.”


“Rebekah went above and beyond during her drop in visits with my dogs. I expected her to only feed and water them but she took the time to sweep their pen, play with them, and even took the time to befriend my shy pup. She truly cares about the dogs she looks after.”

About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life, from hermit crabs to horses. The last 15 years I’ve gone from volunteering with animals to now rescuing and owning 2 dogs and 2 cats of my own. I’m a resident physician but I’m currently on a research year so my schedule is pretty flexible for home visits or walks- but also for boarding given that I have a very animal friendly environment in my own home. I have a three bedroom, split level house with a large backyard and access to a huge field on the other side of my yard for things like fetch and walks. I have 2 energized and social dogs in my own home who are very friendly, love cuddling and playing fetch. I also have 2 cats who do well around my dogs, one younger one that plays along with them and one older one who is still social but keeps more of a distance from play time.

About: I've loved animals for as long as i can remember. I love seeing how their little personalities and quirks come out. It's a joy working with them, and getting to know them. I have experience working in boarding at a vet office, I do volunteer work at a horse farm, and I have pet sat many times. I am comfortable feeding, walking, giving baths, giving certain medications (such as pills or medicine for ears), or just hanging out. My goal as a sitter is to ensure that your pet is as comfortable, happy, and healthy, as they can be. I look forward to meeting your four-legged friend and making sure you worry less about them when you're away :) I have experience with the following animals: Cats, dogs, fish, chickens, horses, rabbits, guinea pigs, goats, and ducks. I’m a High school graduate with some free time, so I’d love to help anyone that I can! My schedule is fairly flexible but I do have some busy weeks. I’m often booked at around 11am-12pm, so I might not be available those times. Ps. No I don’t plan on going to college, so I should stay pretty free! I will ensure they always have fresh water and food, medications on time, walks, clean litter boxes/tank/hutch/enclosure, and love. As well as knowing where they are at all times. I can update you on how your pet is doing, and will make sure I know exactly what you require of me, so as to cut out any mistakes or misunderstandings.

“Cheryl was great with our 2 cats and 14 year old lab. I truly feel blessed that I found her to take care of my babies. She kept me updated and sent me pics of them as we were away for 10 days. I would highly recommend her to take care of your fur babies.”


About: I follow instructions and care for all animals like they are my own. I can care for your typical fur babies such as dogs and cats, but am also comfortable caring for reptiles, amphibians and other aquatic animals. I understand that all animals have different personalities, but all require patience, understanding and love. I work part-time during the spring and summer so I have extra time to help. I get up early, so if your pets like to be up and going around the crack of dawn, look no further. If you have night time creatures or animals that don’t like the heat, I can also accommodate that as well. I treat everyone’s home with upmost respect. I keep you informed throughout the day of all activities to make sure you know that your loved one is taken care of.
