About: Hi! I am your fur baby's new best friend! I've owned dogs for over 20 years. Volunteered at shelters, taken in strays and found them homes, and adopted as well. I have sat for countless friends and family over the years and now I'd like to become an entrepreneur of sorts, doing what brings me joy! Open schedule currently. I am able to accommodate and work around sudden schedule changes. Looking to sit at least 3 times a week. Book me please! I respect others pets and property and treat it as my own. Reputation and trust are important and if a family is so kind to consider me to take care of their furbaby, I would do nothing to jeopardize that trust.

“David was great with our dogs. They are very skittish and leary of people and he won them over. He was prompt and sent pictures. I will definitely hire him again.”


About: Hi, I'm Leslie! This is my alternative option since my husband refused to allow me and adopt another fur baby 😅. I've had dogs my entire life. From the time I was a toddler, dogs have been a constant and beloved presence in my world. Growing up, my family always had at least one furry friend, and caring for them became second nature to me. I’ve owned dogs of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments, and each one has taught me something new about love, patience, and responsibility. My daily routine includes long, enjoyable walks, playful training sessions, and careful grooming to keep my dogs healthy and happy. I understand the importance of personalized care and make sure to tailor my approach to meet each dog's unique needs and personality. My home is filled with love and laughter, with plenty of toys, cozy spots for naps, and, of course, lots of belly rubs. My lifelong experience with dogs has given me a deep understanding of their behavior and needs, ensuring they always feel safe, loved, and well-cared for. I genuinely love dogs and find immense joy in their companionship. If you’re looking for a reliable, passionate, and experienced dog sitter, I’d be thrilled to take care of your furry friend as if they were my own. MEET AND GREET REQUIRED Dogs MUST be vaccinated. I’m an elementary teacher who is off in the summer and looking to keep myself occupied during this long break at home. I’m home all day basically unless I run to the store. I live in a house with a big back yard where your fur babies can run around and enjoy nature! We will always have someone out there as well to make sure everything is okay.

About: Growing up I always had animals around me. My childhood dog, Twinkie was a cute little yappy Pomeranian. She was a picky eater, but would always save a treat in her bowl and only ate it with me after I came home from school. In high school I volunteered at the local Wildlife Rescue where I cared for various small injured animals. I was responsible for feeding and weighing them, cleaning their cages, raising meal worms, and even got to observe surgeries. After college I lived a veterinarian so I am used to caring for random foster animals without notice. I work from home with a flexible schedule to care for animals. I can type on my computer in the same room your pet naps. I can take your pet on walks at any time needed, though I recommend mornings and evenings due to the current heat outside. I cook and clean for all of my own meals and can do the same for your pet. I can schedule cuddles or play time as needed throughout the day as well. :) I have a downstairs lounge, an upstairs living room, and a few bonus rooms in which your pet can relax. There are no other animals or plants in these areas. Crating is fine, but I prefer animals to have more space and freedom to move about. If I am coming to your home I am happy to follow any rules or special instructions you may have. During down times I will be using my laptop quietly in the same room as your pet.

About: I have cared for different types/sizes dogs and cats for over 10 years while family/friends have needed assistance. I will treat them like they are my own and would be happy to provide pictures/updates through out the stay! I am currently working from home, so I am very flexible and can care for and love your pets like I do my own. I am able to make frequent drop-ins or stay with them, whatever makes you more comfortable! I have a 3.5 year old Staffordshire/Lab mix if your dog is needing a friend while you are away. I am also a self proclaimed tug-o-war champ and always enjoy a long classic game of fetch.

“Courtney is always great with our cat. She's very dependable and really understands how to work with our skittish cat. We're very grateful we are able to book her.”


“On time, and fantastic as always. Thanks again!”


“Chris is great! We've had him watch our boys (one of which is a bit of a handful) multiple times and we're always impressed with his service!”


“Miki is so sweet! My husband and I were immediately comfortable when we met her. Our cats loved her! She made sure our cats were safe and happy while we were gone. I’m so glad we found her. I would 10/10 rebook her again. ?”


About: I am a Licensed Veterinary Technician with 30 years experience caring for dogs, cats, pet birds, chickens, small mammals, reptiles, and other "non-traditional" pets. In addition to dogs and cats, my own pets have included rabbits, ferrets, box turtles, parrots, finches, and even a Texas spiny lizard! Do you have a senior dog or cat that needs some extra care and attention during the day? Or a special needs pet that has unique medical needs the average person may not be prepared to handle? Or how about a new puppy that needs mid-day potty breaks while you are at work, and could also use a few extra minutes of training to learn good habits? As a Fear Free Certified Professional, I only use reward-based training methods so your pet will look forward to my visits! I currently work full-time from home. My work schedule is unique which gives me the opportunity to provide mid-day walks and drop-in visits, as well as evening check-ins. I value the trust you place in someone to care for your furry, feathered, or scaled family member in the same manner that you would. I have dedicated my life to caring for and providing medical care for other people's pets, and will look after your pets as if they were my own!

“Karina did an awesome job! She was reliable and trustworthy coming to our home to check on our boys and play with them while we were out of town. We will be using her again!!”


About: Hi there! I’ve been around animals my whole life and truly enjoy caring for them like family. I currently have two dogs of my own—a playful Pit Bull named Nova and a sweet little French Bulldog named Coco Beanie Weenie. They’ve taught me so much about patience, love, and how every pet has their own unique personality and needs. I understand how important it is to feel confident when leaving your pets in someone else’s care. That’s why I treat every dog I watch as if they’re my own—whether we’re going for a walk, enjoying playtime, or just relaxing with belly rubs and snuggles. I’m comfortable with all breeds and sizes and experienced in giving medications, managing multiple pets, and recognizing when a pup needs a little extra attention or calm. Whether you’re heading out of town or just need someone reliable to stop by during the day, I’m here to help give you peace of mind—and your pets some extra love and care! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide constant attention and care throughout the day. I’m able to take breaks to walk, play, and check in on pets, and I love having animals around—they bring joy and energy to my workday! I also offer drop-in visits before and after work hours, making it easy for me to help with early mornings or evenings if needed. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a feeding, or some one-on-one cuddle time, I’m able to create a consistent and loving environment for your pet while you’re away. I’m a dedicated dog lover with experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. As a proud French Bulldog owner, I understand how important it is to find a trustworthy sitter who will treat your pup like family. Whether your dog needs playtime, belly rubs, or a cozy spot to relax, I’m here to provide a safe and loving environment. Let me know how I can make their stay comfortable and fun! I look forward to meeting your furry friend!

About: I have always been enthusiastic about animals since I was little. I have never once lived without a dog. Starting in my high school years, I have sat for multiple dogs belonging to different relatives, along with working at a doggy daycare. Currently, I have a senior chihuahua mix of my own! I have a completely open schedule and I am available every day of the week at all hours of the day. I am also very willing to adjust myself around my clients' schedules. Safety is a priority for me and I always pay close attention to a dog's unique needs. I make sure a dog is supervised as much as possible throughout the day. I also carefully consider a dog's body language and personal space.

“Cathy was great! She did drop in visits and spent plenty of time with Athena. She kept us updated with pictures. We will always request Cathy in the future.”


“Rachel was an INCREDIBLE cat sitter for us! She did exactly what needed to be done to make sure my kitty was comfortable while we were away. Will definitely be booking her again when another trip comes around.”


“Professional, friendly, on time. Excellent value for the fee”


“Great communication and lots of updates which I love. Would definitely book again!”

“A couple years back I had a wonderful lab/pit mix named Ari. Deborah was able to sit for me over a long weekend and the two bonded very well! She spoiled her like her own and Ari loved every minute of it.”

Leslie N.
“They are a great team that are lovely folks to trust your pet with. They took care of my rottweiler Myla for the whole weekend and gave her back to me cleaner than when I dropped her off.”


Jason C.
“As a veterinarian, I’ve met countless pet lovers and caregivers—but few have the natural connection with animals that Jason does. He’s not just reliable; he genuinely enjoys being around the pets he cares for, and they clearly feel the same way. Whenever he pet-sits for me, I can see on our home cameras that the moment he walks in, he’ll flop onto the couch—and within seconds, both my dog and cat are curled up in his lap. It’s their favorite cuddle spot, and it’s become part of their routine when he’s around. That kind of comfort and trust from animals speaks volumes. I always know my pets are in loving, capable hands when I’m away. He’s attentive, gentle, and calm under pressure—whether he’s giving meds, managing quirks in behavior, or just making sure everyone feels safe and settled. I truly wish he hadn’t relocated to Texas, because finding someone with that kind of intuitive, compassionate care isn’t easy. If you're looking for someone who treats your pets like family—and who your pets will instinctively trust—he's your person.”


Kevin M.
“Kevin is a dog lover that has taken great care of both of our dogs many times. He is responsible, responsive and willing to bring in mail and/or packages, water plants or other small jobs that may need to be done while you are away. I highly recommend Kevin.”

Wesley L.
“When Wesley petsitted my dogs, he treated them with the utmost care and respect. He always made sure of the needs of the dog; not just basic needs, but he went above and beyond to play with the dogs and make sure the dogs were very taken care of. I have a pet poodle and a pet chihuahua, and he has put so much love into taking care of the individual needs of their breed.”

She followed all the directions I left for the care of all my animals and made sure she gave love to everyone! Any time she had any questions she reached out to me and was very professional. She has watched my pets for just a few days and also for 2+ week trips. Anytime Alexandria was in my home taking care of my babies I felt comfortable and was able to enjoy my trip knowing that my fur babies were safe and being loved! Highly recommend her for anyone needing a pet sitter! Great experience with her!”
