About: I've been pet sitting in my home for 8 years for friends and people at my church, since my cocker spaniel died. Love dogs but as retiree on fixed income feel I can no longer afford my own. I'd love to spoil yours. Fenced back yard, 4 steps-approximately 30/31 inches up to back door. Most of the time they are here they'll be on my lap if they want (let's hope), I generally ask every hour or two if they want to go out. I have a patio and always go out with them in the summer, winter I usually stand on the back steps and wait. If I go out , depending on the dog, they will either have full reign of the house or I will block them in the kitchen and enclosed back porch/laundry area which is vinyl with rugs. Clients may bring crates if their dogs are more comfortable but they will have run of the house when they want. I can't walk the dogs but will make sure they go out often and play with them inside. Will consider case by case staying with your pet in your home. If your female dog is not spayed please don't ask me to keep them. I no longer work at all so am home most of the time when I have a pet. If your pet likes to ride in a car then we will go out some. I have a fenced in yard and keep a padlock on the gate. I live on a busy street and am extremely careful with the front door. I'm now completely retired and normally only leave to pick up food or for doctor appointments, etc. If the pet likes to ride in the car, I will take them with me to a drive through. I have a fenced in yard and keep a padlock on my gate. I never leave a dog outside alone and will stay as long as they want in summer, I'm in charge of timing in winter. :)


8. Karis M.
“Karis has dog sat for me several times, and she always does a great job! My dogs love her so much, and I’ve never had any issues trusting her with my pack. They get so excited to see her, so I know they are getting just as much care & affection as they would from me.”


9. hannah l.

“I would definitely recommend Hannah as a pet sitter. She is very good at communicating with me and sending updates on my pets. I believe she did a great job pet sitting for me and was even able to give medicine and walk my very skittish puppy.”


10. Rachelle B.

“Rachelle was so awesome and accommodating! I will definitely use her services whenever I need a sitter. Silas was happy as could be when I came home!”


11. Jacquie Ray K.
About: Your pets are your family, and you want the best care when you can't be there for them. I can provide that care with love and attention to their needs! For over 25 years, I have been caring for all kinds of pets. I am also experienced in medication and senior pets. I am retired from the business world. I am able to be flexible to care for pets in their home. Given a day notice, I can be able to accommodate most demands. This service might be available. I do have three dogs at home in a fenced yard. They are friendly, but the service would depend on the client's dog.


12. Gracie R.

“Gracie did a wonderful job caring for our senior 14 year old dog named "Blitz" which includes a rather unique feeding routine and one med 3 times a day. Blitz told us to please have her come dog-sit me anytime!”


13. Makynna L.
“If you’re looking for a dependable person to care for your fur babies, I would hands down recommend Makynna! We know her and her family personally and they are all amazing, caring people. We’ve had Makynna pet sit for us on several occasions. We never had to worry about the care our doggie received while we were out of town and we knew she even went above and beyond to give him extra love to ease his anxiety.”




14. Peter O.
“Peter went above and beyond. He takes the time to really get to know the dogs he cares for and make them feel like part of the family! With a loving approach and caring dedication, Peter will always be my go-to dog-watcher!”


15. Rylee W.

“Rylee was fantastic in all aspects and we highly recommend her! She took great care of our cat, dog and home and was great to communicate and work with. It was a great peace of mind to know our animals were happy and enjoying their time with her. We look forward to taking another trip and having Rylee stay with our pets again!”


16. Jacqui G.

“Jaqui is AMAZING. Our dogs are bonkers and she even came every few weeks til we left, for them to get used to her. Then she even took care of them when her family got sick. AND she mopped and washd soiled blankets for us. Thank you so much Jaqui!!! A++++”


17. Kabody B.
“Kabody is fantastic with animals. He is patient gentle and seems to have a natural affinity with them. Animals like him without even trying, he does like to spoil the animals though.”


18. mitch m.
“Mitch is a very pet friendly and loving to animals and when we go on vacation we trust him watch and care for our two cats and German shepherd and now we have a female husky that he gets a long with and they all love him. They all get excited when they see him and then no longer want us when he’s around. He would be great at this type of work with animals.”


19. Eva A.
“Eva is an attentive pet sitter who took great care of our 3 cats and 2 dogs. She is very warm and friendly and sent us daily updates and pics of our animals while we were away. When we came home after our weekend away our pets were relaxed and happy!”
