“Our pup was comfortable with Leslie from the first meeting. She did a great job communicating with me throughout her stay. We will definitely be asking her to sit again in the future.”


“Kristin took excellent care of our kitty and our home. We got updates everyday and she responded promptly to text messages. She clearly cares a lot about animals and gave our kitty lots of love.”

“Jinjer is an amazing dog sitter! We’re so happy we found her! She’s incredibly caring and kind! We were out of town for 5 days and Jinjer stayed overnight to take care of Mac and Kelsey, our 2 shelties. They’re older dogs, but still quite active! Our dogs have their quirks, and Jinjer was so accommodating! She got up very early with them as that’s their daily schedule; she walked them twice a day, early morning and after sunset to make sure they didn’t get too warm in our triple digit heat! She played with them and spent lots of time giving them attention and affection! She was careful to make sure they were safe from any predators as we have several in our neighborhood. She stayed in touch with me via text with daily updates and sent several photos and videos each day. I loved getting all her photos, videos and updates! We felt so comfortable with her taking care of our pups! We truly appreciated Jinjer’s exceptional care! Humans and dogs alike will LOVE Jinjer!”

“Kendall made living my little girl way less stressful! She came the day before to meet Bonnie, play with her, and make sure we were both feeling comfortable! She was super attentive to Bonnie and would absolutely recommend booking with her 😊”

“Vivian was responsible, dependable, friendly and all in all, very easy to work with. She followed all if the directions I left pertaining to caring for our Welsh Corgi. I would definitely use her again.”

“Andrew and Sophia were an absolute pleasure to have and treated our pups like their own. They were easy to communicate with, and flexible when it came to scheduling. Will definitely request their services again in the future.”

“Samantha was great with our dogs. It was a last minute booking since our sitter bailed, and it worked out great! She was very accommodating, kept us informed with how the dogs were doing and was responsive. Will definitely use her services again!”

“Marianne was so nice and accommodating. She took great care of our dog. She kept us updated daily with pictures. During our meet and greet, our dog took a liking to her immediately and I knew we found the right dog sitter for our pet. Will definitely call on her again.”

About: I love animals! Growing up I took care of dogs, hamsters, cats, turtles, and bunnies.. Since I nannied not only can I take care of kids, but nearly any animal under the sun! I love to curl up with a good book and give your animal some love! I just graduated so I’m currently working to save money! Sometimes I’ll pop down to the gym and normally serve weekend nights, but if I have your pup I will work around their scheduled needs.. If your cat is athome… chances are I am too.. I am an artist and a book worm, so having an animal to keep me company makes a huge difference! I am completely vegan, so I probably won’t be feeding your pup any table scraps, however I can get down with some animals.. walks, snuggles, deep conversations, and lots of playtime/love! If you want me to do something special for your animal just let me know! We can do story time and tuck them in.. or.. Your animal and I will send you some creative selfies! Truly the world has no limit to what I would do for our fuzzy friends.

About: I have been taking care of pets since before I could remember. I believe that pets are what make the world go round, and always strive to make them as happy as can be! I have a small, calm dog and cat here in Arizona, and two large, crazy dogs back in Maine. I definitely understand how both ends of the spectrum can be! All my pets have made it from early puppy, to late senior so I understand the vital importance and factors of taking care of a youthful/elderly pet. I am only working part-time at the moment so taking care of your pets on the weekend is not a problem for me! I also work early mornings so I am free in the afternoons/evenings during the week for all services except overnight stay! MY HOUSE: I have a small, calm/friendly dog that would love to keep your furry friend company. He can be locked away in a separate area of the house if needed! I also have a small, calm/friendly cat but she will be locked away for all visitations/overnights because she gets scared easily. I have a beautiful fenced in backyard with a pool and fake grass. All pet waste gets cleaned up so it’s always hygienic. I will take your dog for a long walk 2 times per day. I will follow your desired feeding/play schedule and administer any medicine if needed. YOUR HOUSE: I will do all the same as listed above! If you have no fenced backyard, I will take your dog on multiple walks a day to get their energy out. I will also follow any crate training instructions if desired.

About: I’ve been so lucky to have lived with dogs since I was born! I absolutely love dogs and have had my own dog since I was 4! I adore dogs, they have beautiful souls and I love caring for them to my best abilities. I’ve dogsat since I was 12 and always took the chance to for my neighbors or church families when they went on vacations. I enjoy spending time with them, whether that's playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company while you're away. I’m currently awaiting my abroad program so am willing to pick up any dog sitting jobs. It will be my first priority and become my routine. I leave June 5th so until that date I am available. Any jobs given to me until then honestly goes to help the kids I’m teaching in Costa Rica so thank you! I have cared for my own and other pets by treating them to their favorite treats, cuddles and quality time along with play time, if they wish. If there’s anything they need help with or need more assistance with, it makes me happy to help them. I’ve looked after blind, deaf and dogs that need assistance. I’ve cared for senior dogs, including my own. I am on top of medications and anything the dog may need.
About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover and owner, and my wife and I currently share our home with one wonderful pup. Over the years, we’ve also had the rewarding experience of fostering dogs, including a lively litter of puppies. I’ve always found joy in spending time with dogs—whether it’s throwing a ball for them to chase or just hanging out and enjoying their company (no small talk required!). Now that I'm retired my schedule is very flexible. I’m thrilled to spend more time doing something I truly love: caring for dogs and helping others. Whether your pup needs a walk, some companionship, or a safe and loving environment while you’re away, I’m here to help! I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged friends! I’m excited to offer dog walking and sitting services for dogs of all sizes and breeds. With years of experience caring for dogs, I understand the importance of trust and dependability when it comes to your furry family members. My goal is to give your dog the attention, care, and playtime they deserve while making your life a little easier.

I’ll love your pets like my own! I have a very flexible schedule at the moment - and i’m able to take multiple bookings. The only days of the week i’m planned to be gone from home are Mon, Wed, and Thurs - 3 hours each day. Other than that i’m home full time! I’m a perfectionist at heart, and very detail oriented. So you tell me exactly how to do something, and it will get done that way!
“We had a great experience with Therese! She provided daily updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our pets were clearly well cared for, and the house was tidy and just as we left it. She also took care of a few extra tasks we had asked about ahead of time, which we really appreciated. Would absolutely recommend and book again!”

“Michelle was great with Peppar, I could tell he was very happy and content with how Michelle provided for him and nurtured him, almost as if Peppar was her own pet. Cannot recommend highly enough!”

“Ashlyn was a great sitter for our two Goldendoodles. She truly showed them the love and attention that we show them and treated them like her own pets. She was communicative, punctual and incredibly helpful in every aspect. She even went the extra mile to pickup some necessities for my girls that they ended up needing. We would definitely recommend her and will be using her again.”
