About: As a dog mom of three very different pups—a goofy cuddle bug, a squirrel-chasing chatterbox, and a calm, loyal companion—I truly understand that every dog has their own personality and needs. What sets me apart is my ability to adapt my care to each dog’s unique energy level, quirks, and routine. I have experience with senior dogs, stubborn breeds, and high-energy pups, and I’m especially great with food-motivated dogs (because let’s be honest—treats are love!). Whether your pup needs a playmate, a cuddle buddy, or a calm presence, I’m here to make them feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I also have experience with medication administration, basic training reinforcement, and helping dogs feel comfortable in new environments. Your pet won’t just be watched—they’ll be cared for like family. Pet care is a natural fit in my life because I’m already surrounded by dogs and love spending time with them! I work full time, but I’m looking to do pet care part time—and I have flexibility in my current schedule that allows me to make arrangements as needed. Whether it’s early morning walks, evening drop-ins, or weekend stays, I’m happy to work with pet parents to find a routine that works for everyone. Caring for animals brings me joy, and I’m excited to welcome more furry friends into my weekly routine! I provide pet care exclusively in my clients' homes to ensure each pet stays comfortable in their own environment and to avoid any stress from introducing them to my three resident dogs. I’m respectful of routines and will follow all care instructions closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, medication, or cuddle time. I make it a priority to keep your pet safe, happy, and loved while you're away, and I always provide updates so you can feel confident they’re in good hands.

Miriam did a fantastic job taking care of goose and Delta. She was reliable, on time, and fantastic with communication. Set my mind at ease while I was away! I would happily refer her to anyone who needs a dog or pet sitter and will definitely be using her again!

About: I have been taking care of all kinds of pets ever since I was a young girl. Whether that consisted of a quick walk around the neighborhood, or an overnight stay while an owners away, I have a lot of past experience, taking care of each animal in their needs. I see each pet as an individual, as their needs may differ from others. My number one priority is making sure that all pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Pets come first always! I will make it a priority to make sure that I am available to be with any pet at any time. I can happily create a safe environment for different pet's needs. I believe spending 1 on 1 time is very important when making a pet feel comfortable, and most importantly loved.

We consider ourselves very lucky to have found Ashley on such short notice ahead of the holidays. Our dates were in flux and we couldn't book as far in advance as we would have liked. I was VERY anxious booking someone new for a full week (as our normal sitter was not available) especially given we have a senior cat that requires regular meds, but Ashley did everything in her power to make this paranoid cat mom feel at ease! She stopped by for a meet and greet ahead of the booking. She sent loads of pictures and updates, including regular updates on how my senior boy was doing taking his meds. Both cats seemed very comfortable with her as evidenced by the snuggles my senior cat gave and the very limited number of hisses from our spicy girl. When we got home, the house was in impeccable shape and Ashley even brought in our mail/packages, which I greatly appreciated! We will definitely be rebooking with Ashley next time we need someone to watch the buddies!

Gabby was a great house/pet sitter for me! She was communicative throughout her stay, sent pictures and updates and the dog was a happy guy when I returned home. She even took out the trash and stripped the sheets off the bed. Those little extra touches were so nice.

Kati took such wonderful care of my dog, Benji! From the start, I felt completely at ease, and it was clear that Benji did too. One of the things I appreciated most was Kati’s communication. She sent regular checkins along with the most adorable pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was obvious from the photos that Benji was relaxed, having fun, and getting plenty of love and attention. I’m so grateful for the care Kati provided and would absolutely trust her with Benji again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive dog sitter!

Corrinn was the best dogsitter! We needed someone for 9 days while traveling to California without kids and had our sitter fall through. She made it easy to pivot and was highly communicative throughout the entire process. Our pup was so happy to have her company and we loved the check ins knowing that our dog was in good hands. Would highly recommend!!

About: I’ve grown up around animals and currently have two dogs and two cats of my own. I’ve also helped family friends by caring for their pets while they’re away, including feeding, walks, playtime, and checkins. I love getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I currently work part time , which gives me flexibility for dog walks, drop in visits, and pet care throughout the week. I’m committed to being dependable, and I’ll always do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, a walk, playtime, or some extra attention while you’re away, I’m happy to help. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. As the owner of two dogs and two cats, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, and exercise needs. During visits, I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, care, and supervision, and I’ll provide updates and photos so you can feel confident while you’re away.

Reilly was an outstanding dog and house sitter for our three dogs (10 days). He provided frequent updates and photos, kept the dogs happy and relaxed, and followed our care routine exactly. Our house was spotless when we returned — better than when we left it. Reliable, friendly, and clearly experienced with pets; we’ll happily hire Reilly again and highly recommend him.

We had a wonderful experience with Laura and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter. We needed to be out of town helping family, Laura stepped in on short notice and was fantastic. Bentley is very much a part of our family—he sleeps with us and has an early morning routine—so we didn’t want to kennel him or leave him alone with drop-in visits. Having Laura stay in our home gave us complete peace of mind. She took the time to come over and meet Bentley with us beforehand, arrived exactly when she said she would, and took excellent care of him all weekend. She sent regular updates and pictures, which meant a lot to us while we were away. It was clear Bentley was comfortable, well cared for, and happy. Laura was trustworthy, communicative, and genuinely kind to our dog. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for in-home pet care.

We were so lucky to find Christina to take care of our big boy! She was wonderful! Beamer can be a bit of a puller and wild boy and we always felt confident that Christina had him well taken care of. We felt very comfortable (we are anxious dog parents due to past experiences) and her communication was excellent. We can’t thank her enough!

Kelsi knocked it out of the park we are so happy to have found her for house sitting with our dog! She’s the absolute best we’ve found yet for sending all sorts of pictures and videos throughout the stay. Kelsi also proved very quickly she can handle anything dog related, our boy can be reactive and high energy and she seemed to have no issues bonding with him right away. She also went above and beyond for us on the last day in dealing with a skunk incident! Would 100% recommend Kelsi for her professionalism and clear love of working with dogs.

We recently entrusted our beagle, Kylie, to Stacey’s care—and we couldn’t be more grateful that we did. We specifically chose Stacey because of her extensive experience as a vet tech, which was crucial since Kylie suffers from seizures. Her understanding of animal behavior was another key factor, as Kylie is a former puppy mill mama who struggles with significant separation anxiety. Normally, my husband and I don't travel anywhere without Kylie. But due to a sudden loss in our immediate family, we had no choice but to find someone we could trust. Stacey exceeded every expectation. She was incredibly empathetic and reassuring, understanding just how difficult it was for us to leave Kylie for the first time. Stacey went above and beyond—taking Kylie on walks to ease her anxiety and patiently earning her trust. To our amazement, Kylie eventually snuggled up and napped with her, something she only does with close family members. That moment alone spoke volumes. We wholeheartedly recommend Stacey and will absolutely have her care for Kylie again. She brought comfort and peace of mind to both us and our sweet girl during a very difficult time.
