“Amanda took away the guilt of going away on vacation and leaving our dogs at home. It was so nice to know that they were in their favorite spots instead of being boarded. They were so well cared for, and we are so grateful!”
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 5 years of experience caring for my own dog, cat, and bearded dragon. I also spent a year working at a kennel, where I gained hands-on experience with pups and kitties of all sizes and temperaments. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feedings, or just a little extra TLC, I’m here to treat your pet like family. When I’m not caring for animals, I love playing video games, writing, and spending time with my husband. I’d love to meet your furry (or scaly!) friend! I’m currently a full-time homemaker, which means I have plenty of time to take care of your sweet pets! It’s always been my dream to open up an animal rescue, so this is just another great step in that direction! I understand the anxiety of leaving your pets when going on vacation or a needed trip somewhere, but I can promise you’ll be leaving them in good hands, and that you’ll receive frequent pictures, updates, and anything else to ease your mind!
“Alexandria did an outstanding job taking care of our 3 dogs in our home over the holidays. She stayed in touch with us throughout the time she cared for them. Even sending us pictures. We highly recommend her for your dog’s needs.”
“Aleisa was very friendly and professional. She sent pictures and always kept me updated. She was also flexible and watched Luna fro an extra day because my flight got cancelled. I would highly recommend her!!”
About: I have taken care of pets more than half my life. I am willing to take care of them however you need. They will get the care as if they were my own. I truly love animals! I am off for the summer and I am very flexible. I am available whenever is needed. I prefer to watch your pet at your house but I am also flexible with that. The dog will be able to be out all the time. We are at home all the time. Your dog will be treated very well in our home!
About: I have had dogs of all sizes my entire life. Most recently I have raised an Australian shepherd, Bernese Mountain Dog and golden retriever. I have dog-sat since I was a teenager for friends and family. I am currently in medical school and although I cannot currently have a dog of my own here, I go home frequently to love on my parents dogs and would love to love on yours! I am free most days with the exception of a few hours when I am unable to be there due to class or clinic responsibilities. I am currently unable to take dogs in my home due to my currently lease but I have years of experience with dogs and am excited to care for yours!
“Alexander was great! He watched our pittie mix and husky mix and they were happy as can be when we got home. Our apartment was just as we left it and the room he stayed in was tidy. He was extremely responsive when I reached out to check in and when I requested to book. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs; I don’t have a preference between the two. I have two cats of my own from the same litter. Im willing to stay overnight with your fur babies or make multiple visits in a day for care and play with them. I work a regular 9-5 working in ABA therapy, so I can make morning and evening visits for up to an hour at a time. I like to give my cats two meals a day with a mixture of wet food and dry food. They like lots of cuddles, which is perfect cause so do I. I mostly pet sit for my parents when they go out of town, and I like to take their lab for walks and pets.
“Kimberly was a life saver. Our regular sitter was unavailable which left us scrambling to find another sitter last minute. Kimberly was able to meet with very little notice and the dogs loved her immediately. She took great care of our Great Danes and did everything we asked. I would recommend.”
“Andrea did a very good job of house sitting my dog for the weekend. Since she works at a Vet clinic she has experience with dogs in many things. I fully trusted her & will be using her to sit with Buster again!”
About: What sets me apart is the care and attention I give every pet, especially those with special needs. While I’m new to sitting for other dogs professionally, I have a senior dog of my own who is both diabetic and blind. I give her insulin twice a day and help her safely navigate daily life, so I understand the patience, consistency, and love it takes to care for older pets or those with medical needs. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I'm a newly registered EMT currently looking for full-time work, and in the meantime, I’m looking to stay active and productive doing something I enjoy—spending time with animals! Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule right now, and I’d love the opportunity to give your pets the attention and care they deserve while I have the time to fully commit to them. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my focus is always on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I stick closely to their usual routines—feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications—so they feel at ease while you’re away. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs, whether they’re energetic, shy, or require special care. Cleanliness, communication, and compassion are always part of how I care for animals.
About: I grew up with animals and have always felt a special connection with them. My family and friends always know that I will be there for their loved ones as if they were my own. I currently work full time in the evenings, however I find time within the mornings to make my rounds. I make sure the babies have everything they need in a timely manner! I do have a fenced in area as well as 2 spare bedrooms, in case of needing private space. I also own 2 dogs and a cat, that are friendly towards other fur babies. I do have a kennel as well, in case.
About: Has fostered over 200 dogs and owned over 5 dogs at one time, ranging from puppy to elderly. Has helped care for over 20 dogs at one time, and has experience with taking care of dogs with complex needs. Currently doing pet care and house sitting full-time, so my schedule is open for clients to fill. Available during the day and evening, as well as open to multi-day sitting. For my pets, I have one acre of fenced in yard, a doggy door, homemade food, and puppy care area in the front yard. For clients, I am willing and able to give medication as needed, meet their standards of food and cleanliness for their pets, and can let their pets out as needed.
“Samantha is wonderful! Very easy to communicate with. She showed up on time which is something I truly appreciate. She took great care of my kitty cat and sent me updates on how he was doing while I was gone. Definitely will rebook with her next time.”

Whether it’s morning walks, afternoon check-ins, or overnight boarding, I plan my days around the needs of the pets in my care. I’ve been around animals for over 30 years, so feeding, walking, playtime, and even administering medications are second nature. Every day is a mission to keep tails wagging and whiskers twitching, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. In My Home: Your pet’s safety and comfort come first. I have a secure, fully fenced yard perfect for supervised play and exercise, as well as clean, comfortable kennels for pets who need their own space to relax.

I also provide regular updates so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away.

I am available at short notice as well. I have several unfenced acres for pets to play and explore on! My pets stay on our property but always have leashes for the babies that need it! Our dogs and cat are free to go indoors or outdoors at their leisure. I also have a room available to separate pets if needed. I have the room to bring in crates if your baby uses one.
