“We felt our baby was very happy and taken care of during our vacation. We had daily conversations with pictures to make us feel comfortable knowing that he was in good hands.”


About: I am an animal lover to the fullest and your neighborhood pet sitter! Being around dogs is a form of therapy for me; I also give the best chin and belly rubs a pet could ask for... so it's a win-win! I grew up in a dog household. I will properly care for your pet as if they were my own. My schedule is very flexible and I am open to working with your busy schedule and your pets' needs. I have experience with many kittens and full grown cats and puppies as well as elderly dogs. I am learning more about this industry and pets everyday and loving every day of it! I look forward to meeting you and becoming your pets' newest friend!

“Jordyn you were absolutely amazing. You took care of Denim as if he were your own pup. You were so patient with him. Gave him time to get to know you and to start trusting you. Thank you for the constant updates and for the kind note you left for me. I really appreciate everything you've done for us. Thank you.”


“Jennifer took care of our 3 dogs for a week while we were away. She communicated and sent pictures so we knew how they were doing. I felt very comfortable leaving our babies with her. I highly recommend her.”


“Tanya was great. Very responsive. She kept us up to date with pictures. The house was exactly as we left and the pets seemed happy. We would definitely like to book Tanya again.”


“Wyatt did a wonderful job with Bentley and our home. will call him again when we need help”


“Mark is a great sitter that my family has used twice now! The animals love Mark and I'm always getting updates with pictures of them for peace of mind. Absolutely recommend for your pet sitting needs!”


“Haylee was great with Duke and Zoe. She was communicative and sent pictures and videos. Given that Zoe is older and has a few special needs, she managed our anxiety about leaving her very well. Her experience with large dogs and meds was super helpful and put us at ease.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life. I’ve taken care of our family dogs for their care. I have years of experience in dog walking, feeding, and playing with dogs. I am a lover of all dogs. I am a college student and am free all Summer. I can watch your pets/home any day or time. I have a very flexible schedule. While watching your pets, their safety and well-being are my utmost priority as well as following owner's instructions. I provide a fun and loving companion for your pet while you are away.

“Haley and Alex came through for me in a very last-minute and stressful situation due to a family emergency. They stayed with my Boys and kept them happy and cared for in my home while I was out of town. They were great about keeping me updated, especially knowing how stressed I was since this was the first time anyone besides my immediate family took care of my pups. I would definitely book them again and will recommend them to all of my pet parent friends! 🐶🐾”


“Jacob was incredible. He stopped by to meet our boys last week. They immediately took to his kind calming demeanour. He was as very personable and kept us informed periodically throughout the day with pictures and updates on our boys. We are very thankful for him and would use him as our sitter again in a heartbeat.”


“Zoe was great with the dogs and with our home. She was very prompt with her timeliness when meeting for the meet and greet and when coming to take care of our pups.”


About: Hi, my name is Jocey, i’m a dedicated animal care professional with over 11 years of experience in the animal industry. My background includes working as a veterinary assistant, providing hands-on support, as well as 7 years of professional dog training experience focused on building trust and improving behavior. I specialize in dog body language, behavior, and psychology to better understand and meet each dog’s individual needs. I offer in-home pet sitting and dog walking services tailored to your pet’s unique needs, and I’m also experienced in caring for birds, cats, and reptiles. Whether your pet needs a walk, training support or loving companionship while you’re away, I provide reliable, compassionate care you can count on. As a dedicated pet owner of seven animals, I integrate pet care seamlessly into my daily routine. From early morning feedings and enrichment activities to structured dog training sessions twice a day, I prioritize each pet’s well-being and development. My daily routine includes regular grooming, health checks, and playtime, ensuring a balanced, attentive approach to multi-pet care and canine training in my own home. I have 11 years professional experience utilizing these skills with client pets and am able to defer to the unique personal routines of your pets.

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my lifelong experience with animals. I've always had pets, including those I've rescued and others I've raised from birth, so I'm familiar with a wide range of temperaments and needs. I've also provided loving care for several senior dogs and a senior cat I had since she was a kitten, giving me valuable experience with pets at every stage of life. Since I am primarily self employed, I am flexible in terms of availability! I am available day or night. I try mt best to accommodate client needs. Since I love in a second story condo, I walk my two canine boys several times daily for exercise and for bathroom needs. My cat, Gracie stays indoors but has everything she needs at her disposal.

“Ashlee was so great! She stayed at our house for a few nights and pup sitted our 2 pups. She was great at communicating and sending us updates! She was respectful of our house and cleaned up after herself. We really liked her and so did the pups!”


“Eddie was friendly and our dogs seemed to have liked him. He was communicative and checked in a few times while we were away. He was able to care for our senior dog and made sure both were well taken care of. The house and pups were in good condition when we got home! We’d book again.”


About: I've grown up with animals my whole life- cats, dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, reptiles, etc. I've taken care of pets of all ages, from young to senior. I am available all days of the week, including the weekends. My time schedule is flexible and I would also be able to do drop in visits or stay overnight as well. By following owner specific instructions when given, I strive to make both the pet(s), and thus the owner, feel safe while under my current care.

About: As a child, I used to walk all the dogs in my neighborhood for fun! I had a Dachshund growing up as our family dog, but now I have 3 big dogs of my own, and I wish I could have way more! That’s why I’m here, I love being around all breeds of every size, and I can’t wait to meet all the pooches! I’m currently earning my Master’s Degree in Social Work. My summer schedule is very open; 7 days a week, all hours! For the school year, I’ll be at an (unpaid) internship from Tuesdays to Thursdays, so I’ll be full available Sun,Mon,Fri & Sat at all hours, and partial for Tues-Thurs. -At my home, I have a 1/2 acre of flat land-no trees/bushes with a fenced in yard, with a bucket of all sorts of toys to play with, and available doggy pools for the warmer days! I have 3 dogs who live here, and love having play dates! -At other homes, I’ll be sure the dog is comfortable with me and gets to know me well. I’ll spend quality time with them, making sure they are fed, potty braked, and tired out from playing!
