About: I am good with cats, dogs and guinea pigs. I can clean out litter boxes, change bedding for guinea pigs and also have extensive experience in caring for a guinea pig's special needs. I’m currently working Mon-Thurs from 8:15am-4:30pm and Friday from 8:15am-12:30pm and I get an hour lunch! So if you ever need me to check in on your fur babies, I can do that! And I can still stay overnight if needed! I will follow instructions how to care for your animals in your home. This can include baths, walks, potty breaks, play time and feeding times.
About: I have experience caring for high-energy dogs, including golden retrievers, managing multiple pets, and handling routines calmly.

About: I have taken care care of friends and family Pets for years and it’s with no doubt the best job. Time flies when I’m playing with them and they have the best cuddles Pet care isn’t just part of my routine—it’s something I genuinely look forward to every day. I’ve had a deep love for animals, especially dogs, for as long as I can remember. Spending time with them brings me peace, joy, and purpose. I treat every dog like family, making sure they feel loved, safe, and truly seen. Caring for pets isn’t a job to me—it’s my passion and something I pour my whole heart into. Whether in my home or a client’s, I care for pets with love, patience, and attention to their unique needs. I follow any routines or instructions closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, or favorite toys. In a client’s home, I make sure their pet feels safe and comfortable in their own space, keeping things clean, calm, and familiar. If they’re with me, they get a cozy, stress-free environment with plenty of play, snuggles, and supervision. I treat every pet like my own—always with respect, care, and lots of love.
“Madison was an excellent sitter and cared for my pets like they were her own! She is very professional, has excellent communication, and asked detailed questions to ensure everything was covered. Madison played fetch with them and gave them cuddles and checked on them during her work lunch breaks. Seriously, would book her again!!”


About: I have watched dogs of all sizes from about 7 lbs to 120. My best friend has two Great Pyrenees who I watch and play with all the time. I had a Shih Tzu for about 12 years that I was responsible for feeding, walking and taking to the vet to keep vaccinations updated. I also have watched my aunts Yorkie multiple times. Being on summer break gives me lots of time for any responsibilities necessary. I am a teacher on summer break so right now I can give your dog/dogs lots of love and attention. I have plenty of time to go for walks. I have no dogs at this time as I just put my last dog down in September. I have lots of time for walks, love and will be able to feed them whenever needed. My goal is to keep them on their normal routines to ensure they are comfortable.

About: I've cared for a range of animals including cats and dog since I was in middle school. Provided detailed instructions I can snd have cared for disabled pets. I understand a pet is more than animal they're family. Pet care is my only form of employment while going through college. So I am available most often. Expect school hours which I will provide Without extra charge if pet sitting a whole 24 hrs or more I will do general cleaning and upkeep of the house such as dishes, floors, and trash. I always pick up after myself and your pet of course.

About: I have been a dog mommy for over 25 years, and have taken care of the pets of friends and family forever. I’m especially partial to dogs, but cats are great too…once they deign to allow me to enter their kingdom 😁. I recently had to say goodbye to me soul mate dog, so I have a lot of love to give your fur babies. Can’t wait to meet them! I’m worked from home for 6 years, and I’m currently between roles. I have nothing but time to dedicate to loving on your darling pets. I am active for those who like to walk, and I enjoy my down time cuddles up on the couch with a book and a sweet sleepy dog or cat. Let’s keep your babies at home where they are comfortable! I can come to your home and feed, walk, and give them outside time. Or, if you prefer, I can stay at your home with them while you’re gone. I’m a rule follower, so your house rules will be strictly adhered to, no question! If your pup is high energy and needs lots of walks, let’s go - I’m on a fitness journey myself! If they are in charge and have a designated spot on the couch, I’ll cozy up wherever they “tell” me I can. I just miss my doggo, and I think this is the best way for me to start to heal from that loss. Let me lavish love on yours!
“Bailey is amazing!! She cared for our doggies and cat like we would and they love her. She also looked after our home which was an added bonus and so appreciated! Being gone for an extended period of time and come home to a clean house - again so very much appreciated- above and beyond the call - thank you and we will definitely be booking again”

“We had a great experience with Seth! Our anxious dog seemed comfortable with him from the first time they met. He sent really wonderful photos of our girls each day and kept us updated about how they were doing. We get nervous about leaving our girls with strangers, but we would definitely have Seth take care of them again. He left our house clean and the three dogs seemed well cared for.”

“Paige was always responsive and shared pics of the dogs. We weren’t able to meet in person before our vacation so she was open to communicating with my neighbor who let her in. She took the initiative to follow up with any clarifications we hadn’t covered beforehand. Our dogs are anxious and we appreciated her staying at the house with them while we were away. It is clear she has a heart for animals! ??”

“This is the second time Catelyn has stayed the night with our pup, Ruby. She was excellent, as we knew she would be! She played ball with Rubyeven when it was 15°! She sent us timely pupdates, and Ruby was smiling in every one of them. Needless to say she LOVES Catelyn.. and so do we! She’ll be hearing from us again soon! 😆”

“Billie went above and beyond while dog sitting at our apartment for 4 days! She helped with our dogs separation anxiety, gave helpful tips on training and things to help him, and kept us up to date on everything going on while we were away. She is very knowledgeable and eased our nerves about leaving our dog for the first time. Also very clean and apartment friends had great reviews about her too! Would definitely recommend and hope to book again when needed!”
