“This was my first time booking with Kiley and she exceeded my expectations. She was hired for a drop in visit but not only showed up on time, but stayed longer than the scheduled 30 mins to make sure my dogs were comfortable. Two out of my three puppers are typically shy around new people, but Kiley was patient and gentle with them. I would absolutely use her again and highly recommend her as a thoughtful and reliable sitter.”
“Sariah did a great job with Pastil. She is so organized and consistent with checking on my cat, she always kept her word and send me lots of pictures that gave me relief that my pet is in good care.

“Lauren was a great sitter. Book her when needed.”
“Sarah was wonderful with our two dogs! She is very friendly and easy going. Ellie and Toby were taken great care of! We will definitely use her again!”
About: I’ve got a house full of pets myself (dogs and cats), so I know how much peace of mind it brings to have someone trustworthy looking after your furry family. Whether your pet is full of zoomies or just wants a cuddle buddy, I’ve got you covered. I’m super easygoing, responsible with animals, and happy to follow whatever routine your pet is used to. I’ll treat them like one of my own — with lots of love, attention, and treats (if allowed, of course). I also love sending photo updates, so you’ll never feel too far away. Let me know what your pet needs.. I’m here to help. I work part-time over the weekends, so I’m available anytime during the weekdays. If an emergency comes up and you need a sitter last minute, I can respond to overnight requests and help out when needed. I’m very flexible and will do my best to accommodate both your and your pet’s needs, ensuring you feel confident and at ease. When caring for pets in their own home, I stick to their regular routine, whether it's feeding, playtime, or naps. I make sure they feel comfortable and secure in their familiar surroundings, offering plenty of attention and affection while respecting their space.
About: I’ve taken care of many of my friends dogs and I recently got a dog of my own. My friends have trusted me to care for their fur babies by walking, feeding and playing with their pets My schedule is completely open at this time. After getting my kids off to school at about 7:30 I have the entire day free to assist with any pet needs. I am always very careful in someone else’s home, I ensure the pets area is tidy before leaving and I like to make sure they are comfortable. When in my home I have designated areas for play and relaxing!
About: I come from a household with a love for pets. Combined, my family has 2 dogs and 5 cats. With that comes a lot of experience and love for animals! I just recently moved to the area to start medical school. I have lots of daytime and weekday flexibility as I will be doing most of my school work from home. In my clients homes I treat the animals just as I would my own. With love and care, making sure that they are always well cared for!
About: I grew up feeding and caring for strays. I've had several "fur babies" since 1987 and have done part time pet sitting professionally since 2006. I am very flexible with scheduling but would prefer reliability in scheduling of clients on my calendar, since I maintain a regular part time job. I would be more than excited to come and care for your fur babies. I've been Mom to an elderly blind dog and am currently Mom of two spoiled felines. I don't charge extra for unconditional love.

About: I've grown up with dogs and cats for almost my whole life, and I've loved the uniqueness of every single one. Whether you have a high energy puppy or kitten hat needs an energetic outlet during the day so they can sleep at night, or an older animal that just needs a companion and a slow stroll, I have you covered. In addition, I have experience providing medications to dogs and cats alike. Whatever their needs are, your fur babies will be treated and loved on like my own! I just finished my first year of dental hygiene school and am on my summer break. Instead of working a set schedule this summer, I am helping my boyfriend with his new home renovations, so I'll have a lot of free time to dedicate. I'm flexible and willing to help meet the needs of my clients! When watching or walking your pets, I prioritize consistency, routine, and a sense of caring compassion. I assure only the best for your babies! I'm happy to provide photo updates as well if you like to stay in the loop.

If there is a fenced back yard we can play back there or go for a walk on a leash whatever keeps you and your pet happy.

Sherry R.
“We live next door to Sherry R and know her quite well. She loves our Sheltie and enjoys taking him on a walk around the neighborhood just for her enjoyment of being with him. When I am outside at the same time as Sherry our dog really wants to run to her and enjoys the attention she gives. On two occasions we needed to be away from home, first for a long weekend and second for a two week trip to visit family in another country. We left our Sheltie in her care both times and were pleased with the care he received. We trusted her with the key to our house so our dog could stay in his own home (he is shy and does not do well in a kennel situation). Instructions were left detailing his daily routine of food, water, medication, and snacks which she carefully followed. It is so nice to come home following a time Sherry has cared for him and we are greeted by happy dog.”
