Alexis watched our senior dog for us for an entire week while we were on vacation. She sent lots of pictures, gave updates and took very good care of him. We will definitely be booking her again!

Dana is our go to sitter for our dog Felix. He is always excited to spend time with her and her daughter. Our pup has had ongoing medical issues that has made caring for him and leaving him alone tough for us. Dana has taken care of him like her own and I feel confident about leaving him in her care. She is also so accommodating and thoughtful while we have had some tough times dealing with Felix’s health this past year. We truly appreciate all the help she has provided us.

My friend’s birthday was downtown Saturday night and despite knowing about it ahead of time, I waited until the last minute to find someone to hang with Caesar. Megan helped me out with no hesitation. The thing I appreciated was the most was she didn’t bombard me with questions or updates during the stay. I feel like it is hard to enjoy yourself when you are second guessing if the person hanging with your pup is up to the task. Highly recommend and will book her again.

Melissa took care of our three babies. Our dog Pita is a bit high maintenance due to her allergies. Melissa was patient and provided excellent care. Dewey, our youngest cat is very shy. It usually takes a while for him to warm up to new people. He had no problem getting to know Melissa within minutes. She gave our other cat Boogie lots of love and attention as well. We definitely will ask Melissa to stay with Pita, Boogie and Dewey the next time we go away. We cannot thank her enough!

About: There has never been a day in my life where I haven't had a dog, so I will love your dog like its my own. I have experience from training two of my own puppies to caring for my senior dogs. I have been pet sitting since I was 13 so I have a wide range of experience with different types of breeds, personalities, training, etc. I currently work part time during the daytime 11am - 4pm throughout the week so I'm available anytime in the evening or morning to help! I am a very loving person when it comes to pets, so I will do all the things your fur baby loves to do! Whether that's long walks, going to the park, playing with a frisbee, or just hanging out, I will do it! I want to make your pet the happiest it can be!

About: Caring for animals has always been one of my greatest joys. I have a genuine passion for animals and helping others. As a lifelong pet owner and animal lover, I understand that pets are family, and I treat every pet in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. Growing up, my family always had pets, including dogs, guinea pigs, rabbits, and hamsters. I have owned and cared for dogs throughout my life, including my beloved Golden Retriever, Rocky, who was my loyal companion for 13 wonderful years. Losing him two years ago only strengthened my appreciation for the special bond we share with our pets. Over the years, I have provided care for dogs-including seniors-and cats belonging to friends, relatives, and neighbors. Whether your pet enjoys walks, plenty of time to sniff and explore, play sessions, or simply relaxing with cuddles and affection, I tailor my care to their individual personality and needs. I understand the importance of consistency and will follow your pet's routines, feeding schedules, and any special instructions to help them feel safe, comfortable, and secure while you are away. I am also committed to keeping pet parents informed with regular updates and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is happy and well cared for. My schedule is currently flexible during the week and most weekends. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! 🐾💕 I live in an apartment, and unfortunately pet sitting is not allowed. I am experienced in providing drop-in or overnight care in your home. My schedule is flexible as I am currently working part time. Besides the typical 9-5 I'm open to early mornings or late day drop-ins. I'm available most weekends. I will do my best to accommodate your schedule. My clients trust me to keep their pet safe by following the owners care guidelines and I treat them as if they were my own. I enjoy learning your dog's personality and how I can make them happy. I respect my clients' homes and make sure I follow the rules of the house you have for your pet. I will make sure I leave your home in the same condition as when I arrived.

About: Hi! I'm Grace (middle name). I have years of experience dog walking and a year of experience working at a professional doggy daycare. I also am involved in a service dog training program on the side. If you're looking for someone you can trust who has experience giving medication, handling special food regimens, and specializes in dog behaviors, I'm the one for you! Worried about your dog trusting new people? I have experience working with dogs with PTSD, history of abuse, and shelter trauma. I believe in patience and letting them go at their own pace. I do not believe in forcing physical touch on a dog that has not given me cues of consent. Though I do work a job part time, pet care is a joyful part of my life—it's not just a job, it's part of my lifestyle. As a previous dog handler at a doggy daycare, I used spend my days managing group play, monitoring dog behavior, and ensuring each pup gets the attention and care they need. Outside of work, I enjoy walking, training, and pet sitting. I enjoy a life filled with tail wags, muddy paws, and lots of cuddles. I’m used to early mornings, structured schedules, and adapting to the individual needs of different animals. Whether I’m in a doggy daycare or in someone’s home, I take pride in making pets feel safe, happy, and loved. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their usual routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I provide personalized walks, playtime, feeding, medication when needed, and lots of affection. During home visits or house sitting, I make sure the home stays tidy, prioritize any special instructions, and keep pet parents updated with photos and notes. My goal is to ensure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. If you choose me to care for your fur baby, you won't feel guilty for being away. As a hobby photographer, I take and edit meaningful photos for my clients to make them feel connected to the joy and fun activities their dog is experiencing. On top of that, I try to be detailed in my notes during visits. I want my client to feel as though they were there.

About: I've been a full time veterinary assistant for 5 years now. I've loved animals since I was a child. I pet sit friends and family pets. I work really close to my apartment. I am able to take care of your pet before and after work. I can stop by my apartment on my lunch break and take care of your pet, if needed. I do not work on weekends. My apartment has a dog park, but I do like going on long walks. Play time is essential. Giving treats as a reward for training.

Vickie was exceptional with our boys (large dog, Indy, and cat, Sprout). She always kept the line of communication open and sent us pictures and updates of the pets every day. She is kind, respectful, caring, and clean, and she will go above and beyond to make sure you and your pets are comfortable and happy. Would highly recommend!

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 12 and have had dogs of my own since I was 4. I have experience with dog socialization including working with local humane societies and volunteering for 4 Paws 4 Ability, where I trained service dogs in training. I have experience with many breeds of all ages and am comfortable handling medication if needed. I will have plenty of time to take care of pups this summer as I just graduated college and am waiting to find employment! I am available to stop in to let your pup out or take them for a walk when you need if I’m in town! My top priority is making sure your dog or cat gets the love and care they need. As a pet owner, I know you expect someone who is qualified, reliable, and will put your babies first!

Katherine was wonderful with my 2 year old active dog/puppy. She made sure to walk her and played with her in the yard. Katherine sent just enough updates and pictures. I felt totally comfortable having her stay in my home. She left the place clean and left Clementine happy.

Gianna was reliable, considerate, caring towards our puppy! She left our house as clean as we left it. Everything went smoothly. She really spent quality time with our dog, playing and getting his exercise in. He's been sleeping a lot since we got home. She really tired him out! We feel so much more comfortable getting a weekend away knowing Gianna cared for our dog and house as her own. Highly recommend!! Hoping to book her for future trips!

We had the absolute best experience with Michaela and truly can’t recommend her enough. We were out of town for our wedding, and knowing our two dogs were in such caring, capable hands gave us so much peace of mind. She went above and beyond in every way—taking our dogs on runs to keep them active and happy, sending us frequent pictures and videos so we could stay connected, and even taking the time to vacuum and keep our home clean while we were away. It was such a thoughtful and unexpected touch, especially during such a busy and meaningful time in our lives. It’s clear how much she genuinely cares, not just about pets but about the people they’re helping, too. We came home to two very happy, well-exercised dogs and a spotless house. We are so grateful and would absolutely trust her again without hesitation!
