I was so nervous to use a perfect stranger to watch my fur babies but Rachael and Logan came for a meet and greet. They instantly made us feel so comfortable. The 1st drop by visit went great and I loved all the pictures of their time together. It was awesome and it was super clear that our babies were having a great time. They are awesome

About: I’ve worked in veterinary medicine as a veterinary assistant and kennel assistant in multiple different offices and shelters for ten years. I also have owned numerous dogs and cats in my lifetime. I have experience with diabetic cats and dogs, and administering medication. There is no dog i cannot medicate when he needs them! I’m a stay at home mom of 1 with two dogs and one cat, so I’m always available. Rain or shine, day or night, I can always pop in on Fido or Fluffy! Unless otherwise discussed with the pet parent, my usual rounds would include cleaning and refilling the water bowl at every visit, feeding at the agreed upon times, bathroom breaks upon my arrival and departure, regardless of the length of my stay, and plenty of loves and scritches for your four legged best friend!

Izzy was great. She responded to my request quickly, so booking was a breeze. She followed all the instructions I left and made me feel at ease while I was traveling. My cat is friendly, but often shy with strangers. She warmed up to Izzy immediately! I was so pleased to see pics of them playing together on day 1. If I ever need a sitter again, I would definitely book Izzy

About: I’ve worked with pets since 2022 and have experience in both boarding facilities and veterinary clinic settings. I’m confident caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including administering medications and providing senior pet care. My background gives me the skills to handle emergencies and make even shy or anxious pets feel safe. What sets me apart is my calm, compassionate approach and dedication to keeping your pets happy, healthy, and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care has been part of my daily routine since 2022 through my work in vet clinics and boarding facilities. I’m used to working around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and giving medications when needed. Whether it’s early mornings, evenings, or weekends, I’m flexible and make caring for animals a priority in my schedule. Keeping pets happy, healthy, and on their routine is something I truly enjoy! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In your home, I follow their normal routine for feeding, potty breaks, walks, and playtime to keep them happy and stress-free. I’m careful to keep doors, gates, and leashes secure and always watch for any changes in behavior or health. In my home, I provide a calm, clean, and loving environment where pets can relax and feel safe. Whether in your home or mine, I treat every pet like they’re my own with patience, compassion, and plenty of love!

About: I’ve had my own dog for 6 years. I had family dogs for most of my life. I’ve also helped take care of many family members and friends pets over the years. I also volunteers with a rescue so I have experience with puppies. I’m a teacher so I will be home full time during the summer for pet sitting. I am also off work every weekend and most holidays. I have a fenced in yard and a dog of my own. I also have 2 cats. My own dog is crate trained so I do have experience. All pets are allowed on the furniture and treated as members of the family.

About: Hello! My name is Lexi, and I have a lot of experience dealing with dogs. For about 7 years now, family and friends have relied on me to take care of their dogs. I have worked at an animal hospital as a kennel technician as well as been a dog bather. I have learned so much from those jobs and gained a lot of knowledge on how to care for them. Working at those jobs has also helped me learn about dog behaviors and how to properly deal with them. If you choose me to be your dog walker/sitter, I can promise your baby will be in great hands! I currently have a full time job, so I will set up my calendar around that to show my availability! I will try my best to work around my schedule for my clients At my client’s homes I always make sure the dog(s) I am caring for are comfortable and happy. I am great at following directions carefully when it comes to instructions that pet parents leave for me, since that was my main responsibility at my previous job as a kennel technician. I also make time to cuddle, play with, and exercise your digs so they are as happy as can be!

About: I’ve been with animals since a baby. My parents always had a bunch of animals and dogs were a big part of my life. Once I turned 18 I’ve added a bunch to my own little family. I have two dogs who travel with us and enjoy the outdoors so much. I also have many reptiles, small creatures, and two cats. I completely love the affection and bond created with animals. My fiancé works full time while I stay at home. I’m currently doing at home projects and with being at home am able to have lots of time to spend with my animals and help others. I have two very friendly dogs who love playing with other dogs. Along with that I have two cats and many reptiles. All animals are like family and I wouldn’t want anything happening to them.

About: Dog Lover by Nature, Technician by Trade 🐾💼 Hi! I’m a full-time Piping and Instrumentation Technician at an oil refinery — but my real full-time job is being a proud dog mom to two fluffy Samoyeds who run the house (and my heart). 🐶❄️ When I’m not checking valves and calibrating instruments, I’m happiest covered in dog fur and surrounded by wagging tails. I clock out at 4:30 PM and go straight into dog mode — ready for walks, belly rubs, and all the ear scratches your pup can handle! Weekends and evenings are when I turn my passion for animals into something I can share. Whether your dog needs a stroll, a snuggle, or a buddy while you’re away, I’ll treat them like one of my own. Let me love your dog like I love mine — enthusiastically, responsibly, and with a pocket full of treats. 🐾❤️ • Weekdays: Available after 4:30 PM (Monday–Friday) — perfect for evening walks, cuddles, and dinner-time drop-ins. • Weekends: Full availability (Saturday & Sunday) for all your pet care needs, big or small. How I Care for My Own (Very Spoiled) Pups 🐶💅 Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s part of who I am! At home, I’ve got two fluffy Samoyeds who rule the roost, and I treat them like the royal (and slightly dramatic) snow dogs they are. I’m big on reading body language—every tail flick and side-eye tells a story. I always let the dog come to me first, especially when I’m in their space. It’s their territory, and I fully respect that! My pups eat like allergy-conscious kings: red meat-free kibble (sensitive tummies!), a splash of wet food for excitement, and daily vitamins to keep their coats shiny and their energy high. They get fed twice a day—7:00 AM sharp and 4:30 PM, just like clockwork. I make sure they get out for potty breaks at least 3–4 times a day, and I’m borderline obsessed with checking their water bowls (fluff equals thirst, especially in warm weather). Before I ever leave the house, I always do a quick scan to make sure there’s nothing they can chew, eat, knock over, or mysteriously destroy while I’m gone. Safety first! When I’m caring for someone else’s fur baby, I go by your rules and routines—but I treat them like my own: with love, patience, and the kind of care you’d expect for a four-legged child (because… they are).

About: I was always the go to person for pet sitting in my family. Growing up, we always had at least one dog in the house. And I was fortunate enough to have had one for 16 years. Her name was Bear. She was the best family dog anyone could ask for and I miss her very much. She is the reason I love taking care of animals so much. Recently, I have become very fond of cats and live with 2 of them. They have stolen my heart and take care of them every day. I also have two reptiles which are my whole world. No matter what animal, I would love to take care of them. I’m the sitter for you! I am in between jobs at the moment so my schedule is very flexible right now. I am very open and honest so I’m very willing to for the schedule that’s best for you and your pet! I am not offering services in my home. As much as I would love to, I rent and cannot have a lot of animals staying with me. I’m sorry for the inconvenience!

About: I’ve worked at a vet for about a year now in the back taking care of the dogs boarding. I’ve had the training and opportunities to take care of many animals, dogs, cats rabbits and of all sizes. Love working with them. I have had dogs for as long as I could remember. I’ve always been comfortable and very responsible while taking care of animals. I am also currently in school to be a Veterinary Technician which has helped me with learning to administer meds, CPR, wound care, behavioral concerns, etc. I have also gotten a lot of experience working at a vet as well as having my own animals or watching friends/ families animals. Pet is a daily thing for me, whether it be caring for my own animals, family friends animals, or even the animals I have to care for at school. It is one of the most important things to me, being a voice for animals. I have 3 cats and 2 dogs at home so it a a constant thing to make sure they’re all cared for. Feeding, walking, cleaning up after them etc. It would be the same for me taking care of a clients pet. Feeding, watering, playing or walking, or cuddles. What is best for your pet and most comfortable for them.

I can't say enough good things about Aaliyah! They've been a lifesaver for both me and my pets. Whether it's pet sitting while I'm out of town, taking my dog for daily walks, or giving them a fresh look with grooming sessions, the care and attention they provide are outstanding. My dog Feyra absolutely adores her walks and always comes home happy and tired (which is a huge plus!). The grooming services are top-notch—she always looks clean, smells great, and her coat has never been shinier. It's such a relief knowing my pet is in safe, loving hands. I trust them completely and highly recommend their services to anyone who wants the best for their furry family members!

Julia is a caring, responsible, and loving person especially with animals. I see how she is with her own dogs and would trust her with mine any day. She watched her neighbors dog for a week this year & went above and beyond, she showed us videos of her helping crate train the dog since the owner warned her that the dog gets aggressive when you get near it while it’s in there. She is such an animal lover and can help the dog in many more ways

I cannot recommend Kelsie enough as a pet sitter! I recently had her watch my 3-year-old Alaskan Malamute, Balto, and she was absolutely fantastic. Kelsie is incredibly compassionate and caring, and she has a wonderful way with large dogs. Balto can be a bit energetic at times, but Kelsie was able to handle him with ease. She took him on plenty of walks and playtime, and she always made sure he was well-fed and comfortable. I never had to worry about Balto while he was in Kelsie's care. She kept me updated with regular texts and photos, and she was always available to answer any questions I had. I came home to a happy, healthy, and exhausted Balto from all the fun he had with Kelsie. I am so grateful to Kelsie for giving Balto such loving care, and I will definitely be using her services again in the future.

About: I’ve worked at a vet for about a year now in the back taking care of the dogs boarding. I’ve had the training and opportunities to take care of many animals, dogs, cats rabbits and of all sizes. Love working with them. I have had dogs for as long as I could remember. I’ve always been comfortable and very responsible while taking care of animals. I am also currently in school to be a Veterinary Technician which has helped me with learning to administer meds, CPR, wound care, behavioral concerns, etc. I have also gotten a lot of experience working at a vet as well as having my own animals or watching friends/ families animals. Pet is a daily thing for me, whether it be caring for my own animals, family friends animals, or even the animals I have to care for at school. It is one of the most important things to me, being a voice for animals. I have 3 cats and 2 dogs at home so it a a constant thing to make sure they’re all cared for. Feeding, walking, cleaning up after them etc. It would be the same for me taking care of a clients pet. Feeding, watering, playing or walking, or cuddles. What is best for your pet and most comfortable for them.
