“I could not be happier with Dusty and the way she took care of our fur babies. She went above and beyond and even accommodated us when our plans changed. I wouldn't hesitate to use Dusty again !”


About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 5 years of experience caring for my own dog, cat, and bearded dragon. I also spent a year working at a kennel, where I gained hands-on experience with pups and kitties of all sizes and temperaments. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feedings, or just a little extra TLC, I’m here to treat your pet like family. When I’m not caring for animals, I love playing video games, writing, and spending time with my husband. I’d love to meet your furry (or scaly!) friend! I’m currently a full-time homemaker, which means I have plenty of time to take care of your sweet pets! It’s always been my dream to open up an animal rescue, so this is just another great step in that direction! I understand the anxiety of leaving your pets when going on vacation or a needed trip somewhere, but I can promise you’ll be leaving them in good hands, and that you’ll receive frequent pictures, updates, and anything else to ease your mind!

About: I have taken care of pets more than half my life. I am willing to take care of them however you need. They will get the care as if they were my own. I truly love animals! I am off for the summer and I am very flexible. I am available whenever is needed. I prefer to watch your pet at your house but I am also flexible with that. The dog will be able to be out all the time. We are at home all the time. Your dog will be treated very well in our home!

About: Personally I have 2 of my own dogs, I have experience with pregnancy and birth! Multiple breed care small and large! High energy, low energy, whatever needs to be done! I also have experience with medication distributions. I’m currently working part-time and have free time in my day-to-day schedule and I love animals and to help others! I am also available for overnights! In my clients home, I keep the house neat and tidy and pick up any messes made by your fur baby! I keep a watchful eye on them and make sure they are getting what they need plus a few treats!

About: I have had dogs of all sizes my entire life. Most recently I have raised an Australian shepherd, Bernese Mountain Dog and golden retriever. I have dog-sat since I was a teenager for friends and family. I am currently in medical school and although I cannot currently have a dog of my own here, I go home frequently to love on my parents dogs and would love to love on yours! I am free most days with the exception of a few hours when I am unable to be there due to class or clinic responsibilities. I am currently unable to take dogs in my home due to my currently lease but I have years of experience with dogs and am excited to care for yours!
About: I've always had animals in my life. Dogs, cats, chickens, cows, horses. All the fur babies!!. I love each and every animals different personalities.

“Alexander was a truly wonderful housesitter and a rare gem to find. He followed all instructions perfectly, stayed longer than requested to ensure Echo wasn’t left alone too long, kept the house spotless, and was flexible with a last-minute schedule change. I couldn’t have asked for better—I would highly recommend him. Thank you, Alexander!”


About: Though this is my first dog sitting job I have grown up with multiple dogs and love animals so much! I’m willing to watch over any sort of dog as I love all breeds:) I am able to train dogs fairly easy and am willing to help with whatever needs your animal has. I currently run an at home baking business that allows me to watch over my dogs and any other animals at all times. I’m an active person myself so I love to take dogs on multiple walks every day. My pets are my best friends and I treat them with love and respect. Every animal I take care of will be loved and never treated horribly.

About: I have taken care of many people’s animals as well as my own for years! I grew up on a farm and had several dogs and cats. I would love to get to know your animals too! I am currently working full-time, but would love to do overnight stays with your pet, drop in visits after 5:00 pm or before 7:00 am. I am available Saturdays and Sundays all day. I would love to take your pet on walks in the evenings as well! I have two very friendly and playful dogs of my own that would love to meet your fur baby! We could go on walks and I can even bathe your pet for you.

“Heather did an excellent job watching my pups! She went above and beyond taking care of them and my house. I just moved into a new home and she even helped clean/unpack some and it was truly appreciated! I would definitely use her again and trust she would do a great job!”


“Andrea is wonderful. She doesn’t seem to meet a stranger. Very comfortable with her right off the bat at the meet and greet. Sent pics and keep me posted. Definitely will use her again!”


“BK, Coco & Abby loved their weekend with Jewel. She is so good with them & our house was in very good order when we got home. It is so nice to be able to leave for a weekend & be very confident that our fur kids are in such good hands & well taken care of. We will def have Jewel back whenever her schedule allows. Thanks Jewel.”


About: I offer Exceptional Pet Care Tailored to Your Needs! Vet Office Experience, Puppy Training, Senior Care, Medications, and Injections – Your Fur Baby Deserves the Best! I currently work full time Monday through Friday but have flexible hours and can work some from home. My weekends are almost always free so I have pretty open availability for Saturday's and Sunday's and occasional Monday's. I typically do not offer in-home boarding because I have a 6 year old Beagle who does not get along well with Big Breeds mostly out of fear. Occasional exceptions may arise for small breeds as he gets along well with them, just message to see if it fits. At the clients home I will follow any rules that pertain to the house and follow any care instructions left. I will let them out several times per day, play and love on them, feed them and give any medications as needed, and take them for walks (unless specified otherwise) for both drop in visits and drop ins.

About: Loving, dependable, and experienced with puppies, seniors, and anxious dogs. I treat every pet like my own and always keep you updated with care and communication you can trust. I work part-time on weekends at Cracker Barrel. During the week, I’m in school from 7:55 AM to 2:30 PM, then I have football practice from 4 to 8 PM. Outside of those hours, I’m fully available and happy to care for pets with lots of attention and love. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I create a safe, loving environment where pets feel comfortable and happy. I follow their usual routines for feeding, potty breaks, and playtime. I give plenty of attention, exercise, and cuddles, and always keep the space clean and secure. Communication is key—I keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their pets are in good hands.

About: Neighbors and friends have asked me to pet sit several times in my life, and I have had the pleasure of owning dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, and even lizards over the course of my life. I own two lovely birds and one sweet, amazing dog named Suzy. I love animals and am excited to work in a field I love helping to care for dogs and improve their health through regular exercise. Currently I work as a custodian from 7am to 3pm, so I have plenty of time otherwise to help walk your dog or pet sit during the week. I will travel to your home to take your dogs on a walk, make sure they have fresh water, and possibly feed them depending on your schedule. I'll be glad to bring some treats and help your pets get quality exercise and exploration time in your neighborhood.

About: Hi! I’m Matt, a lifelong animal lover and proud pet parent to four wonderful dogs—from a gentle Great Dane to a spirited little Chiweenie. Living with such a fun and diverse pack has given me a deep understanding of dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. But my heart doesn’t stop at dogs—I’ve also had the joy of sharing my life with cats, and I truly enjoy working with them too. Whether your cat is outgoing, shy, playful, or independent, I know how to earn their trust and make them feel safe and loved in your absence. Whether you have a couch-loving kitty, a high-energy pup, or a full fur family, I bring calm, caring, and attentive support tailored to your pet’s needs. What you can expect from me: Consistent, on-time care with thoughtful updates and plenty of photos Genuine affection, one-on-one attention, and enrichment activities Experience handling pets with unique routines, medication needs, or senior care A calm and respectful presence in your home, plus basic household tasks as needed I know how hard it can be to leave your pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own—because that’s what I’d want for mine. Whether you’re away for the weekend or an extended trip, I’ll make sure your pets are happy, well cared for, and loved. Let’s set up a meet-and-greet—I’d love to connect and see how I can help! My furry fuzz balls are my family. I’m already up early feeding, walking, and playing with my own four dogs, and I make time throughout the day to check in, interact, and keep them comfortable. Because animals are already such an important part of my everyday routine, caring for your pets fits right in. Whether it’s morning drop-ins, midday play breaks, or evening check-ins, I structure my schedule around what your pets need most. I’m organized, flexible, and always make sure each visit is calm, unrushed, and full of attention—just like I would want for my own pets. When caring for pets in their own home, my top priority is maintaining their normal routine and environment to reduce stress and keep them happy, loved and secure. I follow your instructions closely—from feeding and medication schedules to favorite toys, walking routes, and cuddle preferences—so your pet gets consistent, personalized care. Each visit is more than just a check-in. I take time to connect with your pet, offer affection, play, and enrichment, and keep an eye on their behavior and well-being. I’m calm, respectful, and tidy in your space, and I always keep you updated with photos and notes so you feel confident and connected while you're away.

About: I've taken care of dogs professionally as a dog walker, bather and daycare attendant for the past 7 years. I've worked with seniors, puppies, disabled and special needs dogs. I understand how to care for anxious dogs and make sure they're well taken care of while they're parents are away. Working with pets is my full-time gig, so I'll have plenty of time to hang out with your dogs and make sure they get all the attention they deserve. I like to spend a lot of time with the dogs that I'm sitting. I give them my full attention by playing inside and outside (if there's a backyard), taking them on long walks and just hanging out in their presence.

About: I have had dogs my whole life and got on of my own when I was in college. Growing up around and with dogs has been something that I love about about my up bringing. Dogs add so much to a family and are life long companions. Getting puppy while a full time college student and having a part time job was hard, but taught me how to manage my time and make my dog training efficient. Now she is almost 4 and is my best friend. Leaving town and having someone watch your best friend can be nerve racking, but I am here to love your furry friend like my own! I believe in efficient play time and enrichment for your animals to help make your time apart not so difficult. As a teacher, I am only busy from 7:30 - 5 each day. Some weekends I may be gone traveling, but I would love to check in on your furry friend when I can! Sometimes pets can be unpredictable and it is important that you stay calm and let them warm up to you. It is important to me to build that trust on the first visit to ensure the animal feels safe.
