“Tiffany was great! She was available for a last minute trip and was able to easily adjust the days to match our plans. She also brought in an unexpected package that was delivered while we were away.”

About: Have had 6 years experience with dogs and have petsat for multiple friends, family, or family friends. I have a fenced yard and always willing to go for walks. Used to volunteer at an animal shelter in college Available every day since I usually stay at home due to flexible work schedule or in the local area to study. Usually free to outdoor activities or be a stay at home body I have a fenced yard and a 1700 sq foot home with no roommates or other pets!

“Lauren was so great with our dog and cat! We reached out to her on short notice and she responded so quickly. My pets warmed up to her and I feel like she really treated them like her own!!! Definitely will be using her for our next trip out of town!”

About: I have been around animals my whole life and currently have one dog, three cats (one senior with chronic illnesses/daily meds), four hermit crabs, one ball python, and 10 quail. In the past, I have cared for fish, snails, horses, rabbits, ferrets, a tarantula, and a variety of birds. I am open to watching animals of all kinds! I am able to provide drop in care any time on the weekends and morning/lunchtime/evening during the work week. I am also able to provide dog boarding in my home. I work Monday-Friday but my office is in the same neighborhood as my house - and is pet friendly! For drop in care, my goal is to provide care that keeps to the pets' regular schedule as much as possible in order to ensure they feel safe and cared for. I am able to medicate cats and dogs. For in home care, I am able to accommodate up to 2 dogs from the same household. I have a large, pet friendly house and fenced back yard. All boarding dogs must be cat friendly and good with other dogs.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my whole life. I have always loved animals and even made a career out of it. I am a wildlife biologist. I have a sweet girl named Bell at home who is lovable and playful. I will treat your furbabies with the same kind of love I treat my own and guarantee this treatment for any animal I encounter. I get off of work at 3 pm M-F and right after work I always take my own fur baby to the dog park for at least an hour. I live in a house with 4 furbabies that all have their own special needs. In a clients home, I will treat their home like fine china and their pets like my own ,with lots of care and love.
“5 stars doesn’t adequately reflect how incredible Nicole is at what she does. A number of factors make pet sitting my two guys DIFFICULT but she is attentive, patient and prioritizes safety. The peace of mind that comes with finding someone so reliable is priceless-I would recommend her to anyone!”

“Jennifer is so nice and was great with my two cats! I felt comforted knowing that she was there to take care of them while I was gone. Would definitely book her again in the future :)”
About: About Me Hi, I’m Sharon! I am a mom of 3 boys. We love caring for healthy, active dogs of all sizes and energy levels. From playful pups to mellow seniors, I provide a fun, loving, and safe environment tailored to your pet's needs. Important Note I focus on caring for dogs without special medical or behavioral needs to ensure consistent, high-quality care. If your pet requires specialized attention, I recommend a sitter experienced in those areas for the best fit. I mostly work from home. When kids are out of school - we mostly stay home and go on walks. We have a great neighborhood for dog walking and my kids love to help! I have a fully fenced private back yard with plenty of space to play. We do have a pool that is unfenced. Our neighborhood is great for dog walking! I can use a crate or baby gate if we leave the house at anytime.
About: Having Dogs around makes my world a better place. After my dog of 17 years, I’m not ready for forever but want to extend my heart to care for others. Vacations were always stressful to find someone so I want to help others to go and not worry. I currently work parttime during week so I have weekends as well as other time available to make sure your dog is well cared for. My house is dog friendly. I have a special gated courtyard for outside time. I even have a hallway that can be gated if needed.
About: I am a mature, flexible retired RN who loves all animals. I’ve taken care of cats, dogs and non-traditional pets. I have a penchant for setting the pets and the pet parents at ease! I’m happy to keep your pet(s) company so they are not lonely while you are away! I perform the usual services: take the dogs out, clean the kitty litter daily, feed & provide fresh water on their schedule, keep them safe and give them treats, if allowed. There’s time for snuggles, playtime & exercise. I will go above & beyond to meet your needs.for pet care. I have experience with senior & young pets. I can accommodate special diets, medications and special needs. I have experience with a blind senior dog and many rescue dogs and cats with emotional, as well as physical needs. I am attuned and equipped to handle medical problems that may arise and would contact you immediately in an emergency. I can perform first aid on mammals if needed. I am available for drop-in visits or overnight stays, depending on your preference. For drop-ins I can come M-F mornings, late afternoons and anytime on weekends. I’m happy to do a meet & greet before you leave to assure you are comfortable. I look forward to working with you and your awesome pets!! I am free most weekdays, weekends and holidays. My standing commitments are from 10am to 1pm M-F, so pet sitting can easily be scheduled around those hours successfully. I am very at ease with most pets and they usually like me right away. It’s a little different with cats & some dogs sometimes, who may have a wait & see stance. I am very patient in that instance and allow them to check me out in their way & in their time. I build trust with patience, kindness & love, respecting the animal’s boundaries.

Nancy is amazing! She has been doing week day daily drop-ins for my Suzie for over a month now. She is super reliable and just wonderful with Suzie. She gives her lots of love and pets and takes her on walks. Suzie just loves her and her sweet mini me! I highly recommend Nancy! She is very attentive and trustworthy. I have long days and she is very flexible with scheduling and sometimes will come for 2 drop-ins in 1 day. Her help is so appreciated and I really can't say enough great thing about her! 😊

Kendall was a fabulous pet sitter, she took great care of all three pets. She walked and fed my dogs daily, and gave my cat plenty of attention. Kendall was fantastic. Great communication, sweet with the animals, and I came home to happy pets and a tidy house. Highly recommend!

Isabella is fantastic! I am so relieved that she was there to take care of my babies. She went above and beyond when my oldest was unable to get up. She took her to the emergency clinic and stayed with her until they took over. I just love Isabella and her caring manner.
