“Olivia did great with my dog! Lola can be very picky with people and tends to not eat when we leave. She was very comfortable with Olivia right away. Olivia sent me pictures and updates not only on Lola but included pictures of my two cats. She is someone I highly recommend and will be regularly using again in the near future!”
“Gigi was amazing! She made us feel at ease while we were away with her quick communication and updates with pics of my dog. She left our house spotless and maybe even a little cleaner when we got back.😄 We definitely recommend Gigi!”
“Abbigail was great with my dog and loved the pictures she took and sent to me with updates. It’s hard to leave my dog and be out of town, but with Abby I felt more comfortable. I will be rebooking again when I need to go out of town.”
“Alison was a life saver! I called her on short notice and she was able to help me with Toby who is very shy. She sent me pictures and comments on how Toby was doing while I was away overnight. I would definitely have Alison sit for my Toby again!”
About: Having grown up on a farm, caring for animals has always been second nature to me—especially dogs. From an early age, I learned the responsibility and joy that comes with tending to animals of all kinds, ensuring they are happy, healthy, and well cared for. Many of the pets I have today were either rescues or animals I took in to help owners during times of transition. Currently, our family dog is nearly 15 years old and requires specialized care due to multiple health issues. This has given me extensive experience in administering medications, monitoring health conditions, and providing the patience and attention that senior dogs require. Whether it’s a young, energetic pup or an older dog needing extra care, I understand the importance of providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for every pet. Dog sitting isn’t just about supervision—it’s about ensuring each dog feels at home, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. With my background and deep love for animals, I strive to make every dog feel like part of the family. I work from home and run my own business, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive and loving care for pets. Being home throughout the day allows me to ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for at all times. I provide a safe, loving environment where pets feel secure and at ease. From feeding and playtime to administering medications and offering plenty of affection, I tailor my care to each animal’s needs. Whether they need extra attention, a calm space to relax, or special care, I make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and right at home.
“Lexi is one of the best sitters out there! You can tell she is passionate for animals and treats them as her own. She was so great at communicating with us and is very responsive. We received a video update on our pups as well. The house was left in the same shape we left it in. Very kind, sweet, and caring girl!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since childhood, growing up with two loving Dachshunds and learning firsthand about their unique needs and personalities. Over the years, I’ve helped my parents with daily care, walks, and playtime. Currently, I’m a cat mom to two wonderful cats—one of whom I’ve cared for nearly three years, and a recent addition to our family. I understand the attention and patience pets require to thrive. In addition to my own pets, I’ve also watched friends’ dogs and cats, providing everything from daily walks and feeding to play and companionship. I’m committed to giving every pet the loving care they deserve. Right now, I have a flexible schedule, so I’m available most weekdays and weekends. I can usually do walks, drop-ins, or house sitting during the day and evenings, depending on your pet’s needs. For house sitting or boarding, I’m generally available after 2PM on weekdays, and I have full availability on weekends. I also have two cats of my own, so daily pet care is already a part of my routine — feeding, cleaning, and giving them attention is second nature to me. Whether it’s regular potty breaks, playtime, or sticking to a specific feeding schedule, I’m happy to work around what your pet is used to. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I try to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I’ll follow any specific instructions you provide. Whether that’s feeding times, potty break schedules, crate routines, or medication. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and love so they feel safe while you’re away. I also make sure to keep your home clean and tidy, and I’m respectful of your space. For house sitting, I’m available to stay overnight and can be around during the day depending on your pet’s needs. I’ll also send daily updates and photos so you never have to wonder how your pets are doing.
“We appreciated Ben's care of our girls so much! This was our first booking with him and he was very thorough and thoughtful at the meet and greet. Ben communicated with us and sent pics throughout the weekend. We will book him to stay with our precious girls again.”
“Shelby was great with the boys. They seemed happy and calm when I got home from a longish trip. She contacted me immediately when there was a bit of a scuffle and handled a couple of surprises well.”
“Kyla did an excellent job house sitting with my dog. She was very communicative, responsive to my texts and sent pictures of my girl through her stay. Will definitely be using her again. Thank you, Kyla!”
About: As a child, I had several pet dogs. As an adult, I had two great dogs for the family. Now recently retired, I occasionally sit and dog-walk two grand dogs. As a retiree, my schedule is quite flexible. I am available any day of the week. I can walk or check in on your pet at any time during the day. I'll be consistent with your pet and alter my interaction depending on your and your pet's style. If I'm at your home, I'll treat it with great respect and leave everything as it was when I arrived.
About: I have a family of dog/ cat lovers who I occasionally pet sit for as well as my own cat and a bearded dragon that I absolutely adore. I love all animals as if they were my own. I am currently a college student with most afternoons/ evenings available. I am flexible with scheduling as long as there is a heads up. If there are any questions about scheduling don’t hesitate to ask! I am very attentive to body language and your pet’s personality. If there are any health concerns or any concerns pertaining to your pets please let me know. I am always willing to work within the bounds of you and your pets!
“Amy did a fantastic job taking care of my senior lab, Frank. Each day can bring about a new scenario with him and she used all the tools and tricks to keep him calm and happy just as I would. great amount of communication and she spent a considerable amount of time with him. Highly recommend.”
“Emma stayed at our place to take care of my two Boston terriers and cat for a few days. She did a wonderful job with everything, was there when she said she would be, and kept us updated with pictures! Thankful for a great experience with a short notice booking. I would be glad to use her again!!”
“Kaylee did a great job with our two babies which are high maintenance. This was our first time leaving them with someone new and once we were able to clarify a few questions everything went wonderfully.”
About: Hi there! I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family for the past 4 years, and I absolutely love it! Whether it’s cats, dogs, or the smaller (but just as adorable) crew—like rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, rats, lizards, and other caged cuties—I’ve got plenty of experience and lots of love to give. I’m happy to care for your pets at my home or yours—whatever keeps their tails wagging (or whiskers twitching)! 🐾💕 I’m currently working full time but I am home all day on Thursday, Friday, Saturdays, and partial on Sundays. I can also stop by on days that I am working as well in the morning and late evening. I have a fully fenced in yard, and I do own an extra large dog cage. I have an 8 year old golden who loves other dogs. I do own two cats myself (both friendly with dogs), but if need be I can keep them in the finished basement if your animals are not fond of cats :)
