“Stephanie is AMAZING! I am so glad I found her. I was in search of a new cat sitter and found Stephanie. She recently watched my two kitties and did a phenomenal job. She was always on time, followed all instructions left, communicated with me during her visits, and sent tons of fun pictures. It’s clear that Stephanie loves what she does and has a true passion for taking good care of one’s pets. I will definitely be using her moving forward! She’s great!!!!”


“Destiny was great with our two kitties! She did several drop ins while we were out of town and she cleaned litter and food well, as well as our kittie water fountain. She even picked up some stuff the kitties had knocked over and let us know where she put it. Additionally, she tried to befriend our shy kittie, and even though he didn't want to come out it was nice that she kept checking on him!”


“Jasmine was great!! She took amazing care of our two cats while we were out of town. She’s super communicative, takes great photos, and really went the extra mile to keep the cat stuff (food/water bowls and litter boxes) clean. Would definitely recommend her!”


About: I love animals and have owned pets all my life, have cared for other people's pets, rescued birds, and even helped to raise a lizard. I have a sweet 120lb. dog, two spoiled cats, and an adorable bunny. Two of my pets were adopted from shelters. I am familiar with: house-training puppies, training dogs for obedience, fostering cats and cat behaviors, and caring for small animals. I will enjoy caring for your pets, making them feel safe and loved when you are away. Depending on your pet's needs, we can go on a relaxed or brisk walk, play indoors, play fetch in your backyard, work on basic obedience skills, or maybe learn a new trick. I currently work part time, have a flexible schedule, and can assist with caring for your beloved pets multiple times per day and multiple times per week. I can be available for longer visits if you are going on vacation or going away for the weekend. The safety of your beloved pet will be of greatest importance. With my experience caring for animals and protocols established by you, I will ensure your pet's wellbeing and comfort whether inside your home, in the yard, or on a walk in the neighborhood.

She's responsive, flexible, and has given us good ideas on how these visits can meet the needs of both dogs and keep them happy and comfortable.”


About: With 30 years of dog care experience, I’ve been a proud dog owner and caregiver, training and caring for a variety of pups — from Labs and Boxers to two wonderful Staffies. Whether their humans are off to work or out on the town, I’m ready to provide belly rubs, playtime, and lots of love while mom and dad are away. I am currently working full-time during the week, but I’m usually available after 3 PM, all hours on weekends, and holidays. Hope I can meet your furry friends. I can care for your dog at your home or take them to a field to play fetch if that's their thing. Regardless of their age, I will tailor to their needs and follow their dietary guidelines. For younger, more energetic dogs, I can offer intense exercise. The more they get, the more I get—it's a win-win!

About: I have had many breeds of dogs growing up (from German Shepard to Pomeranians) since I was 15. I am comfortable with energetic puppies to senior dogs and everything in between. I always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and cared for. Pet care easily fits into my daily routine as I work from home most days and my daughter is home from college and is able to take them on walks, give potty breaks, and care for them during the day. I have a very large yard perfect for your dog to run around and play and I also have a two year old dog who is really friendly and loves to play. I follow care instructions very closely, ensuring your pet is always safe and comfortable.

About: Hi, my name is Mindy! I have been caring for pets ever since I was a kid, when I began sitting and walking neighbors and family friends' dogs. So far I've raised puppies, cared for senior dogs, and everything in between. I'm sure to spoil and love your furry friend as if they were my own- while I don't currently have a pet of my own, I grew up caring for two geckos (shout out to Coco and Kiki), and I've fostered dogs in the past as well. I provide walks, drop-ins and house-sitting services. I also have extensive experience with fast walkers and dogs who pull. I'm typically available on weeknights and weekends. I am more than happy to help out with house sitting if you're going on a trip or with any additional afternoon/evening needs. I'll spend time with your pets doing their favorite activities, whether that's playing out back, going on a walk, or just getting some cuddles in. I use positive reinforcement of all kinds- a little extra praise, some treats, and plenty of ear scratches!

About: I have been the primary taker of my Golden Doodle, Luna, for all 7 years of her life. This care included two walks each day, providing her with food and water, playing with her, and crate training her when she was younger. During my summers in high school, I would occasionally help out a neighbor by watching, feeding, and brushing their cats while they were on vacation. Now, I hope to expand my horizons to interact with beloved pets of all shapes and sizes. My love for animals is so profound that I plan on becoming a wildlife biologist in the future to dedicate my life to animal conservation. I don't currently have a job, and I am looking for something meaningful and enjoyable to do over the summer. As such, I have plenty of availability to devote to your furry friends. Due to the services I am providing, I will treat your space with utmost respect. I also understand that each pet is unique and has different requirements to promote their comfort and well-being.

Our schedule is very flexible so it's easy for us to be there for your dog. We go on several walks a day, giving them a chance to go potty and enjoy playing with them to make sure they feel loved and secure while they're with us. Because we live on a 600 acre property, safety is our top priority. When we are taking walks with your dog, we will take every precaution necessary to ensure your dog is safe. You can bring your dog's favorite toys or blankets, however we have everything your dog would need to feel at home with us. I wash everything after each visit to make sure all of our things are clean for the next fur baby. We have food and water bowls, toys, beds, blankets, crates and even leashes. We want to make it as convenient as possible for you while ensuring your dog is comfortable with us.

Mindy K.
“Mindy has been an invaluable helper in caring for two of our dogs- Bella and Joey. In both cases, Mindy was a patient, kind, reliable, and responsible pet caregiver. With an uncanny knack for connecting with dogs, Mindy was a favorite of both pups, who couldn't hide their excitement when "Mindy walk time" was imminent. I wholeheartedly recommend Mindy toanyone looking for a trustworthy and competent dog walker!”

Erron M.
“I cannot recommend Erron highly enough! He has been taking care of my two mini Goldendoodles—Nala (8 months old) and Luna (7 years old) for over three years now, and he has consistently gone above and beyond to make sure my dogs are happy, safe, and well-cared for. He’s helped us out for both walks and drop-ins while we are on vacation. What really sets Erron apart is how dependable and responsible he is. I never have to worry when my pups are in his care—he communicates clearly, shows up on time, and always keeps me updated. Nala can be a handful with all her puppy energy, and Luna has her own set of senior dog needs, but he handles them both with patience and ease. I trust him completely with my dogs. If you're looking for someone who will treat your pets like family, look no further. Erron is awesome!”


Joshua M.
“Joshua and Jen were amazing with our two pups. They sent me updates every day (sometimes multiple times per day) as they knew I was nervous leaving them for the first time. My doggies looked so happy all the time. When I picked them up, they were all smiles and in good health. One of my dogs is very nervous around people and has pills to take daily. They did a great job giving him his medicine and keeping him healthy! We will definitely use them in the future!”


Lindsay H.
“Lindsay is an awesome dog sitter/walker. She has taken care of our 2 older big dogs for 3 years. She’s reliable, honest and trustworthy. She takes her time with our dogs, reports any issues and sends pictures for your reassurance. She’s just fabulous.”


Alayna L.
“Alayna often takes care of my two dogs, Coco and Mayzee. They are a Shih-Tzu and a Yorkie. She takes excellent care of both of them, and they’re always so happy when being dropped off at her house! She takes them on walks and plays with them, but also gives them plenty of love and care.”
