“My black lab Sophie loves Judson! She gets so excited to see him for her walks. Judson has been so great to work with her on training during their walks with a focus on her reactivity to other dogs. So glad to have Judson in Sophie's world!”


“Monica was wonderfully caring with Angel who is just a pup. She had recommendations on switching to a harness which is a very good idea for small dogs. This was just a short stint but would definitely hire again in the future. Thanks”

About: !!SAME DAY BOOKING AVAILABLE!! I understand things happen and we all need help sometimes. I am absolutely available for last minute changes in your life when you need someone to take care of your pets. I've taken care of animals of all types for years. As a previous volunteer for the HSSW, who has taken courses in animal behavior and veterinary science, I am extremely comfortable caring for animals of all types. Small or exotic pets, big or small dogs, cats, reactive or disabled animals- let's work together! I have experience with medication administration, so whether your pet needs pills, injections, or liquid medication, I'm here to help! My schedule is currently almost completely open. I'm available weekdays and weekends for all activities. As time goes on, my schedule may change, but you'll always be the first to know! For regular visits more than once a day, I can only provide services in a five mile radius. I make sure to follow your instructions exactly to make sure you can rest easy while your pet is being taken care of. I'll watch pets at your home, so your pet can have a familiar and comforting environment. I would like for you to rest easy as you know your animals are being taken care of.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life—dogs, cats, and everything in between. I’m a hands-on, attentive caregiver who truly enjoys getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether it’s high-energy pups who love long walks or older dogs who need a gentle pace and a little extra TLC, I adapt to their needs. What sets me apart? I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and I treat your pets like they’re my own. I’m comfortable with administering medication, handling large breeds, and managing pets with anxiety or reactivity. I’m also happy to care for multiple pets at once or follow specific routines you’ve built at home. I understand that leaving your pet with someone new can be stressful, so I always aim to communicate clearly, send updates, and provide peace of mind. Pet care fits perfectly into my current routine—I’m looking for flexible side income while I build my small business. That means my schedule is wide open, and I’m available for daytime walks, drop-ins, and even last-minute bookings. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine to keep things as comfortable and stress-free as possible! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your dog, cat, or another companion, I treat every animal with the same attention and respect I give my own. In your home, I stick closely to your established routines—whether that’s feeding times, medication, potty breaks, or favorite walking routes. I make sure pets feel secure and cared for by keeping their environment calm, predictable, and clean. I’m mindful of safety at all times: watching for open doors, avoiding hazards on walks, and making sure your pet is never left in a risky situation. I also send regular updates so you know exactly how your pet is doing while you're away.

“Kacey is great, she does such a great job caring for my dog. When Tana might have been stung by a bee she contacted Rover’s Vet, and monitored her just to make sure there would be no reaction. Highly recommend!”


About: I’ve always been the go-to pet sitter for my friends and family; whether it's dogs, cats, turtles, or even tortoises! I have a 12 year old cat named Rainy, and recently said goodbye to my sweet Shih Tzu after 16 years, so I have lots of experience with both senior pets and all kinds of personalities. I genuinely love spending time with animals and make sure every pet I care for feels safe, loved, and at home. Whether your pet needs playtime, quiet company, or just someone who gets how special they are - I'm your person! I also understand it’s a big deal to let someone into your home. Professionally, I work full-time in people operations and have worked for Google, Facebook, and Mercedes-Benz. You can count on me to be respectful, detail-oriented, and dependable every step of the way. I work from home so my hours are flexible. I usually like to stop in mid-day to make sure your loved one is well taken care of. I make sure your pet feels safe, seen, and loved. I stick to their routine, follow all care instructions, and give them my full attention whether that’s playtime, cuddles, feeding, or a quick potty break. I always make sure water bowls are full, litter boxes or yards are clean, and your pet is happy and comfortable before I go.

I will always be off of work by 5pm. I am also a student on summer break. I leave for school on August 26th! I'm super flexible! I'm able to watch your dogs when they go outside or take them on walks. I would love to snuggle and play with your animals whenever!

“Leaving our senior 12.5 yr old Boxer for the very first time for 8 days was unimaginable without Jared bring able to walk her everyday. We had more concerns with new diagnosis, but Jared was kind, caring and compassionate with the needs of our girl. Jared went over and above to make sure Alaska was walked in cooler weather and was so careful with her. We definitely were so fortunate to have found him and felt such at ease while we were away that Alaska was getting the best care.”

About: I have always had cats and dogs in my life. They were pets or they were the pets of family or friends. I also have experience with rabbit, birds and hamsters. I am currently only in school part time. I am unemployed, so I have all the time necessary to care for multiple animals and/or pets. Our fully fenced front and backyard gives lots of room for dogs to run. Inside dogs are only kennelled when necessary and allowed on the furniture with us when invited.

“Michaela is reliable and communicates so well. We have a high anxiety dog who is usually very nervous around new people and our dog has loved her since the very moment he met her.”
