About: Hi, my name is Jenny and I have a lifelong love of animals. I have cared for various types over the years including dogs, cats, birds, fish, chickens, goats, and horses. I have the most experience with cats, dogs, birds and fish. I am married to my high school sweetheart and we are the proud parents of five lovely girls (two are grown up and starting lives of their own) two amazing labradoodles and two sweet kitty cats who we fostered from our local animal shelter. We have a large family with lots of love to share and a large, secure fenced yard for furry friends to play in, plus a devoted indoor cat area where cats can sit back, relax, and enjoy freedom in a safe environment. Dogs have the freedom to go in and out at their leisure, and I also have a private area for dogs who don’t want to be around other dogs. I am interested in expanding my pet sitting clientele and I hope you will consider me for your pet care needs! Please feel free to ask me anything- I look forward to meeting you! I run my own business from home, leaving me plenty of time and availability to offer a loving and safe environment to furry friends who can’t be left alone. I have a fully fenced, dog-safe yard, and a dedicated room just for cats. All animals will be treated with love and kindness, as though they are members of our own family 💗
“Wendy was able to provide care for our 2 dogs and 1 shy cat in our home recently. We are grateful for her diligent work with our fur babies! I won't be worried about them on our next vacation, because I know Wendy will be caring for them as we would. Thank you, Wendy!”

About: I have always been drawn to the unique personalities and loyalty of our furry friends, and my passion for understanding their behavior has led me to pursue a studies and certifications in dog psychology. As a certified dog psychologist, I have undergone extensive training in canine behavior and have gained a deep understanding of the complex dynamics between dogs and their owners. I believe that every dog is unique and deserves a customized approach to their training and behavior modification. My goal as a dog psychologist is to help pet owners and their beloved dogs live harmoniously together by addressing behavioral issues, building strong bonds, and promoting positive reinforcement. I am committed to providing the highest level of care and support to both dogs and their owners. I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since my childhood. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to train, walk, feed and bathe their pets. I have great and deep experience of dealing with any size and breed of dogs. I find such spiritual peace and divine feeling to be with these furry creatures and love to spend time with them. I have been serving as a volunteer at local dog shelters as well. Its always nice to be around these pure souls and give them maximum love and care. I can make them a part of my routine and it's always fun to have them around and ensure they are happy, calm and engaged productively. I love to take long walks, play, and make them learn new things in a fun way. I always plan my day in an organized way to ensure the furry buddy is getting appropriate time for meals, training, play, rest, breaks and be merry. Its always fun to bond with them in a calm way to make them embed in your routines. So it comes so naturally and automatically that we spend a happy day and time just fly. With my vast dog handling experience, I always ensure safety, security and health of our four legged babies. I have seen all the scenarios and always apply prevention, intervention and correction approaches for making the babies well behaved and happy. I am a trained dog behaviorist and psychologist as well, that helps me to predict and sense any specific needs of our furry friends and ensure everything is proactively taken care.
“We had such a great experience with Deborah! From the start, it was clear she really gets German Shepherds—and Maple absolutely loved her. You can tell from the photos that Maple was happy, well cared for, and had clearly been running around getting all her wiggles out. It’s wonderful to find someone who connects so naturally with our baby girl. So grateful to have found Deborah and already looking forward to our next visit!”

About: Over 20 years as a dog owner. I'm semi-retired. I've been watching friends' and friends of friends' pets for years. I've been the only house/dog sitter for a pair of Dalmatians for the last 5 years. I've handled puppies that are still working on becoming housebroken as well as senior dogs that need regular medication and extra care. I do in-home tech support/ IT work. When a customer's animals have warmed up to me, I've been asked if I did pet sitting as well. It feels good when the pet picks you. My working schedule is very flexible, I'm usuably able to adjust it to make sure I'm available to see to your pet's needs. If I commit to caring for your critters they will be my scheduling priority. I don't have pets in my own home. When house/pet sitting, besides feeding, walking and picking up after the pets I'm capable of handling household issues that might come up.
“Excellent sitter. Very responsive and follows directions. Very helpful with helping to watch my cats and making sure everything was taken care of while I was away. Will definitely be requesting Stasha’s help in the future.”


“Thanks for taking such great care of my kitty cat! I'm hoping Bodhi didn't leave too many "messes" for you? :) Your efforts are always greatly appreciated, Tracey. Thanks again!”

I grew up with dog’s, cat’s and cows, and I’ve cared for everything from shy rescue pups to playful kittens and even senior dogs with special needs. Morning starts with feeding time and a quick check to make sure they’re healthy and comfortable. If I have a dog, there’s that refreshing morning walk — a chance for both of us to stretch our legs and breathe in the day ahead. If it’s a cat, maybe it’s a playful moment or just sharing a quiet breakfast together while they curl up nearby. I take pet care seriously and always treat animals with the same love and attention I’d want for my own. In my daily routine, I make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and well-cared for. I stick to feeding schedules, provide plenty of fresh water, and keep their living areas clean and tidy.

My doggies LOVED Debbie! And if the doggies are happy, then I'm happy. Debbie clearly knows her way around challenging dogs. Mine could pull a freight train (individually and collectively), but Debbie handled it with ease. I would definitely use Debbie's services again if and when the need arises.

I can’t recommend Lisa enough! She watched my dog for 2 weeks and did daily drop-in visits while I was at work. She made sure he was well taken care of—taking him on walks, feeding him, and always keeping his water full. I came home to a happy, healthy pup every day. She even got him a pup cup! Lisa was reliable, caring, and treated my dog like her own. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I’ll definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and kind pet sitter. 🐾

Faith was absolutely wonderful! She responded to our messages quickly and was attentive to all of our requests. During the drop-in visit, she followed everything perfectly and even went above and beyond what we asked. Our cat adored her and clearly enjoyed the visits!
