“Hailey & Destini, treat our dog Jethro very well! After they walk him he is always happy. We have had Hailey and Destini walking him for a few months now, and Jethro recognizes Destini’s name. When we tell him Destini’s coming today he gets excited. Best walker we’ve ever had!”

About: I am a professor at a local university with a flexible schedule who loves hanging out with all sorts of pets. I am professional, punctual, and playful. My wife, Diana, works from home so between the two of us there’s pretty much always someone home hanging out with our doggie guests. We live on 4 acres, about half of which is fenced in for the doggos to run and play safely. We only crate if they are comfortable with that, and if no one is home. My teaching schedule allows me to be home a lot during the week and I am open most weekends. I am also pretty flexible to do drop ins and walks, as well as pickup/dropoff. My wife, Diana, works from home and helps with the pet care. Pretty much someone is always home so the pet guests normally hang out with us most of the day. I know every pet has their own personality so I like to get to know each pet individually and speak with their owners to come up with a care plan. We aim to create the same level of comfort here that your pet has at home. Our guests are part of the family while they are here.

“Karrington was great with my dog Kahne. I had to make a last minute request and she helped me out a ton. My dog is shy and she was great with him! Thank you so much for taking care of my pet!”

About: As a doggie mother and animal lover, I will provide excellent and personable care for your furry family member. I have had pets my entire life and I never met an animal who did not absolutely adore me. I will love up on them, teach them and make sure that they are having the time of their lives. I offer dog sitting in my home or yours, play dates, walks and I even have a natural gift for potty training little ones quickly. I am more than happy to provide food and toys for your pet but feel free to supply me with their own special or favorite goodies. Let me care for your pet today! I’m looking forward to meeting you and your fur family.

“Cynthia is very patient with Kwame as he can be a handful. As I work externally and my daughter works at home this walk has really helped Kwame. Thank you Cynthia”

About: As a dog mom myself, I understand the desire for your pet to feel loved and well-cared for. I've had my sweet Australian Shepherd, Bailey, for 7 years now. Although she is quirky and weird, she is the most precious thing to me and my family. It is SO important to be able to learn the unique personalities of each animal you encounter. It is my promise to you that I will work with your pet in a way that suits their needs while giving them quality attention--the same way that I would want someone to treat mine. I've been around dogs my entire life and am comfortable with all shapes and sizes, from tiny pups to gentle giants. I also fostered a dog while I was in college, which really taught me how to handle different temperaments and help a nervous dog feel safe and comfortable in a new routine. Whether your pup needs a high-energy game of fetch or a structured walk, I will keep them safe, entertained, and most importantly healthy! I'm currently working part-time as a medical assistant, so weekends are great for me. I can also do more weekdays as my schedule is made and will post my availability as soon as possible on a recurring basis. I live in a pet-friendly apartment, but have great access to safe walking areas in my neighborhood. My apartment is big enough to accomodate dogs of all sizes, and is animal-proofed!

“We are so appreciative of Lindsey! She was willing at the last minute to come do a meet and greet with our pups and step in the next day for walking Bailey!”

“Daysi is amazing! We hired her to walk/check up on our two big dogs in the morning and afternoon while we were out of town one day. She sent lots of pictures showing everything they did on each visit and was able to walk them both together and make sure they had time to eat since we were gone all day. We will definitely be hiring her again for future short trips!”

About: Growing up as a farm girl taught me responsibility, patience, and how to care for animals of all personalities and sizes. I’m comfortable with high-energy pets, shy pets, senior animals, and multi-pet households. I also have experience caring for young animals, including bottle feeding kittens and providing extra attention to pets that need specialized care. What sets me apart is that I don’t just “watch” pets — I pay attention to their routines, behaviors, and comfort so they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I understand how important trust is when leaving your animals with someone else, so I provide dependable communication, photo updates, and personalized care for every pet as if they were my own. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just a calm companion, I adapt to their needs and make sure they receive attentive, reliable care every time. Pet sitting fits naturally into my weekly routine alongside my multiple part-time jobs because I’ve learned how to stay organized, reliable, and flexible with my time. My schedule varies throughout the week, but I intentionally plan ahead so I can give each pet sitting visit my full attention and consistency. Because my jobs are part-time, I have built-in availability during mornings, evenings, and flexible gaps in the day that allow me to provide dependable check-ins, walks, feeding, and playtime. I’m used to balancing responsibilities, so I’m careful about only accepting bookings I can fully commit to without rushing or cutting corners. Pet sitting is something I genuinely prioritize in my routine — it’s not just extra work, it’s time I set aside to care for animals, give them attention, and make sure pet parents feel confident and updated while they’re away. I offer flexible care depending on what works best for you and what your pet is most comfortable with. In your home, I focus on keeping everything as familiar and stress-free as possible for your pet. I follow their normal routine for feeding, walks, litter box care, medication if needed, and playtime. I also make sure they get attention and companionship so they don’t feel lonely while you’re away. I respect your space, keep things clean and organized, and provide consistent updates so you always know how your pet is doing. If care takes place in my home, your pet will be in a calm, safe, and supervised environment where they receive the same level of attention and routine-based care. I make sure they have a comfortable space, regular outdoor breaks or playtime, and a low-stress setting that feels secure and welcoming. I limit distractions and other animals as needed so each pet gets proper individual care. In both settings, my goal is the same: to make your pet feel safe, cared for, and comfortable while giving you peace of mind that they’re in responsible hands.

“Debbie is reliable, communicative, and thoughtful and my dog (who isn't good at making new friends) loved her. I would recommend her to anyone!”

About: It’s your new “Step Dog Mom” I believe every pet deserves Dog-Mom level care—the kind where they’re treated like family, not just a client. With years of experience caring for pups of all ages, sizes, and personalities, I pride myself on creating a calm, loving, and safe environment where your dog can truly relax. I’m extremely patient and gentle, whether I’m bonding with an anxious rescue, entertaining an energetic puppy, or tending to the needs of a sweet senior. I pay close attention to every detail, from their feeding schedule to their favorite belly rub spot, and I’m skilled at reading body language to ensure your pet feels comfortable and secure. You can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and respectful of your home. I provide regular updates, cute photos, and even fun paw report cards so you always know how your fur-baby is doing. Life can be unpredictable, and I do my best to be flexible and understanding when schedules shift. Most of all, I love building connections with each pet I care for—because to me, they’re not “just pets,” they’re family. 🐾 Im available Thursday to Sunday. On Thursday and Friday only I’m available after 5:30pm (due to me having a full time job from home). Saturday and Sunday I’m available all day 🙂 For any Drop-In visits or Walks I do require a complementary meet and greet before booking to ensure your pet is comfortable with me and their “home space” ❤️ Your pet’s comfort and safety always come first in your home. I take time to learn your pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs before each visit. I follow feeding, walking, and medication instructions exactly as given, and always make sure your pet has fresh water and a clean, calm environment. I respect your space—leaving your home just as I found it—and keep doors locked, alarms set, and your pet safely indoors or secured outside as requested. I’m gentle, patient, and attentive to body language, especially with shy or anxious pets. You’ll receive regular updates and photos for peace of mind while you’re away.

About: Customers will love that I love animals and they will be able to feel it! I have had many animals for long periods of my life. My Cagney ( a min pin) passed when she was 16. My Boo ( a black cat) passed also when she was 16. They were the best! My babies are always interesting - all their personalities make them all so different just like people, except that they love you unconditionally. They are always there no matter what! One of my all time favorites was a bulldog I used to pet sit. He was a funny slobbery clumsy little man. Sliming corners of my jeans and my shoes and running as hard as he could to me when I came thru the door and always ready to hang out and cuddle. Fun stuff!!!!! One customer had two cats that required lots of love visits! They loved to play and run all over when u visited. Mommy Suzanne loved pics so my son and I would get them playing and start taking pics. Sweet personalities. My weakness used to be taking in animals when I couldn't afford any more. I try not to do that now - instead I try to place strays that others bring me into other good homes. My brother took in one such cat that I took in as a rescue. Jazz brought him and my brothers wife a lot of happiness over the years! I am glad I took him in and that my brother added him to his household as a forever family!! The pics in my profile are: Thor the bulldog! Thor Thor bully Thor! Rocky the red min pin- big bark ! Little man!(he's older and whiter in this pic) Boomer is a good ole boy that my younger brother adopted. Just a super calm dog that you can only love. Mae Mae the cat - very RARE close encounter with her on my knee!!! #mustescapefromhumans The last one is good mix dog sitting in his front yard after I have taken him for a walk. His name is so different I can't remember how to say or spell it. Protective dog that I kept for my friend Val. Loves his regular walks. I currently work full time but work from home but and can work from your home if house sitting and/or visit when needed thruout the day(s). I follow your lead. Whatever you allow them to do i will allow and will restrict as you see fit. I go by your rules.

About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs my entire life, starting from childhood. Over the years, I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family, trusted to give their pets the same love and attention they get at home. About 15 years ago, I brought home my first cat and have been completely smitten with felines ever since! I have experience giving basic medications to pets and am comfortable caring for animals with special needs. In addition to dogs and cats, I have over 15 years of experience with bearded dragons and mild experience with many other animals—so I’m happy to watch reptiles, small pets, and more. No matter the species, I’m dedicated to keeping them safe, happy, and cared for like they’re my own. I have open availability for dog walks and any pet drop-ins, so I can work around your pet’s routine—morning, afternoon, or evening. Whether you need a last-minute walk, regular visits, or a quick drop-in while you’re away, I’m always happy to make it happen! I care for pets in their own home so they can stay safe, happy, and comfortable in their familiar space. I follow your routine for walks, feedings, clean-ups, and medications, making sure they get plenty of love, play, and attention. Safety is always first—secure leashes, closed gates, and supervised walks—so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring hands.

About: Current dog mom of 2 and love to care for all animals! I’ve always grown up with a dog in the home and I began my petsitting journey at age 13 when I began petsitting for my neighbors. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, hedgehogs, guinea pigs, hamsters, mice, and fish. I’ve cared for dogs with extra needs (blind, anxiety, behavioral issues, etc.) and am comfortable administering medicine. I’ve watched up to 6 dogs in one household and am comfortable if more are involved! I volunteered at my local animal shelter throughout college working to socialize cats and dogs to help find their forever home! I have a large fenced in yard and live close to walking trails. My dogs are very friendly and love to be social with other, well-behaved dogs! I currently work from home 3 days a week and can offer drop-in visits before 8am or after 5pm. I’m flexible to do one time drop ins or regular scheduled drop ins! In my home, I make sure to keep your pup in a normal routine while you are away. I’m respectful and want you to come home to pup(s) just how you left them!

“Gemma was absolutely flawless. All my animals, who are quite timid, trusted her immediately! Will definitely use her again I knew if she was there everyone was in good hands!! I really appreciate her and her kindness”
