“Justine took wonderful care of my cat while I was away. She gave her her medication and played with her a lot! I have no doubts that my cat Effie had a wonderful time with her.”

About: I have had dogs my whole life, have helped train family pets, and am certified as a Comfort Dog handler. I have watched dogs from the wee size of a Chihuahua to big fluffy Newfoundlands. I love using patience and kindness to ensure your pups safety and well-being. I agrew up with the high energy of Border Collies, both young and older. I have dogsat at someone's house up to 5 dogs at a time, with varying food needs and medications. I try my best to be flexible and up for anything you need to ensure your furry friend is taken care of the same way I would care for my own. From walks, to watching them in my home, I am here to help you remain confident in your dog's care. For boarding, I do have two dogs that live in residence and would be available for a meet and greet prior to booking. I work a hybrid schedule, so some days I am fully working from home and other days I am in the office and usually pop home in the early afternoon to let my dogs out and finish the day working from home. Dogs get fed before I start work and dinner when I finish. If I work from home I usually take a break outside at some point to play with the pups and after work we can do walks or dog park or hanging out in the yard. I have a fenced yard and two other pups in the home who are relatively chill. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and get lots of snuggles. My own dogs are crate-trained but rarely use them. They are often left on the living room couch when I leave, with a baby gate keeping them in. Can use crates if needed, I own a size small and a size large. My dogs are 25 and 12 pounds. The smaller of the two is a rescue and is extremely chill and friendly to all other dogs. The bigger dog can be sensitive with other dogs sniffing his butt but the most he does is bark at them to move away. He usually minds his own space and doesn't play with other dogs much but also doesn't bother them.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for years, but done it more seriously the past three years. I do overnight stays with my friends/families dogs, and a lot of dog walking! I’ve done everything from administering medications to cleaning up accidents. I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible! I don’t have time constraints (for the most part), so I can take my time caring for your pets. I would like to say I’m very good at being aware of my surroundings. I’ve taken care of dogs that aren’t dog-friendly, so I know how to handle those situations when on walks, etc. I also realize that growing trust with animals is extremely important.
“Sydney is great! She was able to check in on my two pups multiple times. Sydney always leaves a detailed report and makes sure we get pics of the pups during her visits. We highly recommend her!”


About: I’m a graduate student looking for a lighthearted side job doing something I truly enjoy—caring for dogs! I’ve had dogs of my own my entire life and have more than five years of dog-sitting experience. I also worked for two years at a dog daycare and boarding facility, where I gained hands-on experience caring for dogs of many sizes, breeds, ages, temperaments, and activity levels. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine as a graduate student. I have no classes on Fridays, and my weekends are generally free, which gives me flexible availability for drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I also enjoy getting outside and would love to spend that time giving dogs the exercise, attention, and care they need. I do not currently offer pet care in my apartment, but I am happy to travel to clients’ homes for dependable walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and care.
About: My unconditional love for all animals. Every cat or dog that I meet I treat and cherish as if they were my own fur baby. I do work a full time job, 8-4 Mon-Fri. However, I am looking to use some of my free time taking care of your fur baby! I do my best to maintain whatever routine you have with your fur baby. I am willing to go the extra mile to make your pup feel safe and comfortable while you are away.
About: I am a dedicated pet caregiver committed to keeping your furry friend happy, healthy, and safe. I will strictly follow your pet's specific daily feeding and medication schedules to maintain their comforting routine. As an experienced and enthusiastic walker, I ensure they get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and fun outdoor adventures. Your pet will receive attentive, loving care and the absolute highest quality companionship every single day. I am a teacher so my schedule during the weekdays are from 8am-4pm. On the weekends I’m available all day. Feel welcome to send me a message! I will always follow the instructions that the pet owner gives me. Hiring me your pet will always be fed on schedule, enjoy play time, and treats. Every home I visit will be respected and well taken care of.
“Vanessa was great and really helped us out last minute. She was super communicative and really went above and beyond to get photos of our one cat who likes to hide under the bed. It was all appreciated!”


About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I’m a private concierge caregiver for the elderly, so compassion, attentiveness, and high-quality care are at the center of everything I do. When your dog stays with me, they’re not just supervised — they’re truly looked after. I don’t lock dogs away or leave them isolated. They stay in a clean, comfortable home environment and are treated like part of the family from the moment they arrive. I offer premium, one-on-one care, daily structure, safe play, and a calm household. Whether it’s boarding or walking, I focus on building trust, offering consistency, and providing the same level of care I give the people I work with every day. Your pet will be loved, respected, and cared for with genuine attention — the way you’d want, and the way they deserve. My lifestyle is perfect for dogs who love consistency, attention, and plenty of breaks. I’m in and out throughout the day, which allows for regular potty breaks every 2–4 hours. I’m always home every morning and evening, and your pup can expect daily walks as part of our routine. Weekends are wide open, giving me plenty of time for play, exercise, and quality companionship. Your dog will never feel alone or overlooked—they’ll be included in the flow of my day and cared for with the same attention I give my own family. Your dog will be welcomed into a clean, quiet, privately-owned ranch home with a fully fenced-in yard—perfect for safe play, potty breaks, and fresh-air time. I treat every pet like part of my family, not like a kennel number. Dogs have access to my entire home, including cozy lounging spaces, supervised outdoor time, and a calm, relaxed environment.
About: I love all pets, big and small! I’ve pet sat for family and friends (from puppies to tripod cats) over the last few years. I don’t have any pets of my own so I always enjoy meeting new dogs/cats :) I work 9-5 (mon-friday) and typically work from home once a week. I’m available when I wfh, weeknights and weekends! Would love to use some of my free time to take care of your pets. For overnight stays, I’ available to stay at your house. I know every pet has their own personality, routine and quirks - I do my best to stick to what makes them feel comfortable. I’ll follow your care instructions and treat your pet the way I’d want someone to treat my own. Whether that’s a long walk, trip to the park, pup cup or being a house hippo, I’m happy to accommodate.

“Emma is the best! There’s honestly only positive things I could say, she is so easy to communicate with and the genuine care for my dog she has is obvious! Ive felt comfortable leaving her in the hands of my dog and home every time she’s come over which in my opinion is the biggest complement! Me and Journey are so glad to have you there when I can’t be, see you soon and thank you always Emma!!”

About: I’ve had friends and family members rely on me to board, walk, feed and bathe their pets! I am very attentive and have been around pets big and small since I was born! I am currently graduated and working full time! I typically have off on Fridays and weekends. I work alternating hours so evenings and mornings are possible. Let me know little things your fur baby likes or dislikes! Every animal is different. I will enjoy playing outside with your furry friend no matter the weather!
“This chick is phenomenal! She has a great personality and is very engaged with animals. My German shepherd loves her and even gets to play in the water with her. Her communication skills are stellar. I received live updates and photos while at work. If you want someone reliable and dedicated to your fur babies, she is it. I HIGHLY recommend her! <3”

“DeeDee did very good with Sandy, which says a lot about Sandy. She allowed Sandy to pet her, and she sniffed Sandy, which is huge for DeeDee. Deedee is very skeptical of anyone, and extremely timid, so her to open up so quickly makes me so happy. Next trip, will be planned around Sandy’s availability.”

About: My personal zoo started when I was just a teenager! Growing up we had 4 felines, two of which are now in their late teens! Hazel, our beautiful chocolate lab, crossed the rainbow bridge when she was 13.5. My mother ingrained a deep love and compassion for animals in me. Professionally I have worked with exotic species ranging from reptiles, macropods, and even primates. My last year has encompassed working with more domestic species like dogs, cats, and small animals, in a shelter organization. Here I have learned fear-free and stress-free handling, body language, and enrichment for all four-legged companions. The behaviors of dogs I have worked with include, but are not limited to: fear aggression, separation anxiety, resource guarding, and leash reactivity. My own Beau suffers from leash reactivity so it is a behavior I am very comfortable handling and managing. Currently, I have a leopard gecko, African Pygmy hedgehog, senior cat, and senior dog! I’d be more than happy to build a loving bond and trust both with yourself and your companion! I am currently working full-time in animal care. My schedule is primarily first shift so I will best cater to those who work the long grueling second shifts! I also work rotating weekends so a couple of weeks a month I am available on weekends! I will practice stress-free handling for all companions involved! My services can rang anywhere from quick potty breaks for a breath of fresh air, litter scooping, to longer walks to get dogs out of the home for some exercise.
“Emily is a great sitter for my dog Scout! We've been working together for about a year, and she's able to handle senior/disabled dog issues, including lifting/carrying paralyzed dog & dealing with potty issues that occur when Scout is alone.”

About: Are used to take care of cats, dogs, and horses for as long as I can remember. My neighbors would always have me careful there’s. I have a lot of free time, so I normally take my dog on a walk or run every day. Let’s go on an adventure. I have a fenced in backyard. I have a spacious home. I live in a very quiet neighborhood. Always give them love and attention that they need.
“Carrie did a phenomenal job with my Dog, he is very old and deaf and needed someone who would understand, she did just that!. Sent me many pictures and updates so I always felt at ease about having left. I will be using Carrie again.”

Nicole was a wonderful sitter for our 4 cats. Throughout our week away, Nicole kept me updated with daily reports and photos of our cats looking very happy and relaxed. She spent lots of time playing with them everyday which they clearly loved. In addition she watered my patio plants. I recommend Nicole whole heartedly to anyone who loves their pets and values their happiness.
