“This was Katelyn’s second time watching Shadow, and she was wonderful again! She kept me updated with messages and pictures, communicated any changes in her schedule, and let me know when his supplements were running low. I really appreciated her attentiveness and communication. it gave me peace of mind knowing Shadow was in good hands. I’d happily book with her again!”

“Katalina gave us great peace of mind watching our dog Avery. She gave regular updates and pictures of our pup, and she was clear and friendly in her communication. Such a professional who wants to make sure your fur baby is taken care ofb”

About: Hi! My name is heather and I am a total dog and cat lover! No matter the breed, age or quirky personalities I love them all. I used to volunteer at a shelter in Iowa where I spent most of my time keeping the immuno-compromised cats and dogs company as they had to be isolated from the others in the shelter. Since then, I’ve trained my own dogs to be potty trained outside and be comfortable riding in cars. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for over 10 years. The longest I’ve cat sat was for 10 days and left a personal “journal” for the owners from the cats point of view. The longest I’ve dog sat was 7 days. I love walking dogs, The longer the walk the better so when mom and dad come home they are ready for all the cuddles. I'm bubbly and have been told I'm "high energy" so I love to play with animals but also know when it's time to just relax and be couch potatoes while watching Animal Planet. I've taken care of special needs dogs who are leash aggressive, I've worked with senior dogs who move a little more leisurely and I've worked with puppies - helping them get acclimated to walking with a leash and harness. I’m working full time as a physical therapist but am available to care for your loved furry friend Wednesdays and Fridays after 2:30. I am available Sundays after 1pm. I have a fenced back yard and my little guy loves to run around and chase leaves. Loves to sniff every twig. For my past clients I take their dogs for long walks in their neighborhood, sometimes run with them on lease if they have a ton of energy. I have the animal earn my trust first, put my hands out to sniff, allow them to approach me as I am a guest in their home. I love to lay on the floor with them, let them know I am a trusted friend.

“What can I say about Yesi! What a dream sitter for our old man. I was able to go on a week long vacation and I can honestly say I did not worry at all while I was away. I received daily pictures and updates. Miles is old and anxious and very attached to me so I was worried about finding someone who would care for him like I do. Yesi filled those shoes. From our very first meet and greet I knew she was the one. Thank you Yesi! You went above and beyond for us and you’re such a lovely person. We can’t thank you enough.”

About: I’ve been around and caring for animals for as long as I can remember, with 15 years of experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. I’ve always loved being around animals and understand that every pet has their own needs, routines, and quirks. Whether it’s going for walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, or simply keeping your pup company, I make sure they receive plenty of attention, patience, and affection. I take pet care seriously and want every owner to feel comfortable knowing their furry family member is in good hands! My schedule is flexible, and I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s needs! Need someone to stay overnight or even for a few days? I’m your person! Planning a vacation or an extended trip? Don’t worry, I’d love to help keep your furry family member happy and comfortable while you’re away. Just need someone to stop by, check in, or take your pup for a walk? I’d be more than happy to help with that, too! Whether you need a one-time visit or ongoing care, I’m here to make your life a little easier and your pet’s day a little brighter. 🐾 I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable when they can stick to their familiar routines, so I do my best to make every visit feel as stress-free as possible. Whether I’m stopping by for a quick visit, taking your dog on a walk, or staying overnight while you’re away, I’ll make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, affection, and care. I’ll follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and bedtime routines. I also understand how important it is to trust someone in your home, and I will always treat your space with respect and keep things clean and tidy. I love sending updates, photos, and messages so you can see how your furry family member is doing. My goal is to give your pet the same love and attention I’d want someone to give my own!

“Sean was an absolute treasure to our girl, Luna. He was very responsive from the get-go and made sure that all of our accommodations were met. I’m not sure that we will ever book with anybody else as Luna adored Sean when we returned. I would give Sean 100/10 stars if I could. I highly recommend entrusting him.”

About: What truly sets my care apart is a balanced focus on both physical well-being and emotional happiness. I tailor every visit to your pet’s energy levels and needs—from high-energy play sessions and enriching walks to quiet cuddle time for senior pets. I listen closely to what makes your pet thrive, ensuring they receive thoughtful, individualized care that keeps their stress low and their tails wagging. One of the biggest advantages I offer as a pet caregiver is the flexibility of my career in real estate. I map out my appointments and client meetings a week ahead, which allows me to reserve dedicated blocks of time for walks, check-ins, and companionship. This blend of complete schedule control and advanced planning means I can accommodate midday drop-ins, sudden schedule adjustments, and focused, quality time with your pet when they need it most. Your home is your pet’s safe haven, and I take the responsibility of stepping into that space very seriously. I combine professional reliability with gentle, attentive care, strictly adhering to your house rules and pet care instructions. From maintaining meal schedules and administering medications to providing active companionship and house security, I ensure your home is treated with respect and your pet receives full, unhurried attention in the comfort of their own environment.

“Stephanie was a joy to have taken care of my kitties. I asked for pictures to be sent from each feeding, as one of my cats is diabetic and needs insulin (and I can be a nervous mama around his health!) She sent lots of photos right on time and my cats warmed up to her right away. She was super communicative– asking questions and always responding right away. House was left nice and tidy, and she even offered to put new clean sheets back on the bed when stripping the ones off from her stay. I will definitely be calling Stephanie again!”

“Micah was so great with our dogs! Would definitely book again.”

“Ariana is an absolute gem! She watched our senior dog Penny and took such incredible care of her. She took her on regular walks, sent tons of updates, and she even cleaned Penny’s water bowl. The little details really showed how much she cares. We came home to one happy pup and complete peace of mind. Highly, highly recommend Ariana!”

About: I've loved animals since I was a little girl, and caring for pets has always brought me so much joy. I've been pet-sitting since I was 12, caring for dogs, cats, and even bunnies, which has given me years of hands-on experience. I’ve been through many different types of situations with pets like walking, feeding, playing, and even washing and drying pets. Ive always had no trouble connecting with animals and I'll care for your pet with the same love and attention I'd give my own. I'm committed to providing safe, reliable, and attentive care every time. I currently work full time from 9-5, so I'm available to care for your pets in the evenings and on weekends. However, I'm happy to accommodate your schedule whenever needed. My office is pet friendly, so with permission I could bring your pet to work for full time supervision. However if you prefer your pet to stay at home, I’m happy to make that work as well. Spending my free time with animals is something I truly enjoy, so your pets will always receive plenty of love, attention, and care. I live in a house with a large, fenced backyard that animals love to explore. I also live with my pet-loving parents, who enjoy having furry visitors around. Your pet will always have a safe, fun, and loving environment while in my care. When caring for pets in your home, I will treat your space with the utmost respect. I'll always be mindful of your home, follow your routines, and leave everything just as I found it, so you can feel confident and worry-free while you're away.

“Destiny is a gem! She is incredibly sweet and thoughtful. She took great care of Eevee as well as my home. After a tiring work trip, I came back to a pristine home and a happy pup. It was reassuring to know Eevee was under great care since I don’t often leave her. I would highly recommend Destiny to anyone.”

About: Hello! My name is Beryl! I am a big animal lover, and have been fortunate to have owned 2 dogs in the past. I love being around animals because I feel that they teach me a lot about life, love, and patience.

I look forward to meeting your furry friend! Sincerely, Beryl I am working remotely at the moment and because of that, I have more time on my hands to look after your pet and make sure they receive ample attention. I live in a home that has a pretty big backyard so I’m sure I will be able to provide lots of physical activity for your pet!
