“Ray was amazing!! I needed someone pretty last minute & he was willing to come stay with multiple dogs at my house. He kept me updated with pictures and videos. I could tell the pups were happy and well cared for. Highly recommend & will use again! Thanks Ray (and thanks to your sister Anna also)”

About: 🐾 Experienced and Loving Pet Sitter Ready to Care for Your Furry Friends! 🐾 Hey there! If you're looking for a professional pet sitter to take care of your pets like they're family, you're in the right place. With a lifetime of experience under my belt, I've got the skills and the heart to make sure your pets are happy and healthy while you're away. I'm proud to say that my clients trust me and my wife Dana to look after their pets time and time again as shown by my repeat clients and positive reviews here. Whether it's walking your dog, feeding your cat, or just giving some cuddles, We are here to make sure your pets feel loved and cared for. We take this caretaker job seriously, but we also know how to have fun with animals. From the most energetic pup to the shyest kitty, I'll treat each furry friend like they're my own. If your pet needs some extra attention or has special needs, I've got it covered. So, if you need a reliable and loving pet sitter who'll go above and beyond for your pets, let's chat! Reach out today, and let's make sure your furry pals are in good hands while you're away. 🐾 Here are some benefits to hiring us, where you get two sitters rather than one: 1. Double the Attention: With two pet sitters, your pets get double the love and attention! They won't ever feel lonely or neglected because there's always someone around to play, cuddle, or just keep them company. 2. Backup Plan: Life happens, right? Having two pet sitters means you've got a built-in backup plan. If one pet sitter has an emergency or can't make it for some reason, you've still got another reliable person who can step in and take care of your pets without missing a beat. 3. Different Perspectives: Every pet sitter has their own unique style and approach. With two sitters, your pets get to experience different personalities and activities, which can keep things exciting and enriching for them. 4. Specialized Care: Two pet sitters can divide tasks based on their strengths and preferences. One might be a pro at dog walks while the other excels at giving medications or grooming. This means your pets get specialized care tailored to their individual needs. 5. More Flexibility: With two pet sitters, scheduling becomes a breeze! You have more flexibility to plan around your own schedule or any last-minute changes without worrying about your pets' care being compromised. We are always available! Look to us for everything from workday walks and holiday vacations! Our last walk is 9pm, earliest is 6:30am, everyday of the week! When we meet before the first walk I will ask you to show me your routines and what the furry four legged children like to do for their walks and feeding times. We will go over health and behaviors and then integrate that into our dog walking plan.
“This is the second time we booked with Hannah. She is extremely reliable, responsive, and trustworthy. We needed to head out of town unexpectedly and Hannah respoded on very short notice and was able to help. We had peace of mind that our pup was well taken care of while we were away. We look forward to working with Hannah again and highly recommend her to others!”

About: For as long as I can remember, I have been surrounded by pets. My grandparents had plenty of dogs and cats on their farm when I was young. This probably helped develop the love and respect I have for these creatures. From a young age, I have always built a connection with most of the pets I meet. I am extremely comfortable around dogs of all sizes, which may be why dogs are very comfortable with me. I pay close attention to detail with each pet I meet-I learn their behaviors and personalities quickly so that they build trust with me. I am currently the owner of three cats, Quincey, Nabi, and Chai. I am a Cat Dad in every sense, and when I am able to buy a house, I will be a Dog Dad as well. I am currently working from home indefinitely, so my schedule is normally wide open all day long. I am very flexible with my hours, so I will do my best to accommodate your personal schedule preferences. As someone who has taken care of dogs and cats through his entire life, I am very aware of the level of trust and communication needed to perform care well. If you are to choose me for drop in visits or walking your dog, I will communicate with you thoroughly through the whole process. Of course, I believe every pet owner would rather care for their pet themselves than have someone else do it, but sometimes life gets in the way. Keeping this in mind, I will make sure that you feel comfortable and establish a level of trust and communication with you to keep your mind at ease. I am more than willing to meet you in person before my services to get your advice, input, and preferences as to how you want me to conduct my service with your loved pet. I work from home, so my schedule is flexible. I am a lead at my job, so I run a few meetings through the week. Sometimes the times requested may conflict with what I have going on, but I will always let you know if there is a modification needed. For dog walks, I can work around my meeting times and suggest times that work for me, if that is acceptable by the owners that are booking. For cat drop ins, it would be most beneficial to schedule it past 3pm Mountain Time. Cats are very punctual, and I respect that being a cat Dad myself. I care for each pet I provide service for as if they are my own. I will send plenty pictures and detailed updates of their habits, mood, and bathroom essentials. If I see anything concerning I will always let you know immediately. Worry not about packages in the mail, I will make sure I bring them inside while you are gone and update you on that as well
“David makes our dogs feel safe and loved. They run to him as soon as they see him. He followed all our specific instructions and was very conscientious. He snuggled with them and played with them. We really appreciated how positive he was about staying with Belle and Rory. We would definitely use David again!”

About: Hi! I am Mirielle and I started dog sitting 2 years ago and I have been sharing a cat with my sister for about 4 years. My older sister has a dog that I would take care of from time to time. I love dogs and cats and I would be glad to make sure your furry friend is happy 😊 I am a college student with classes during the week, so I am flexible with my weekend schedule. Please give me a heads up beforehand! I would happily send pictures of your cat or dog cuddling and playing with me! I am also willing to do other minor responsibilities at your home such as watering plants.
“Trista came and helped out with a last minute request to watch my 3 Pom’s (including one with pretty bad separation anxiety 😬) while I was at a wedding. She was very responsive, on time, and flexible! If I’m ever in the area, I will definitely reach out again if I need a sitter! 😊”

“Lauren was absolutely amazing. She took wonderful care of my dog Ghost and sent pictures and updates throughout the day. I had a day where plans went a bit off the rails and she was flexible with timing. It was such a relief during a hectic day to know my dog was well taken care of. Will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you so much Lauren!”

My job is to offer pet parents peace of mind and top notch service. I tailor every experience to meet the unique needs of your furry companions. A playful walk, a cozy overnight stay, or simply extra TLC while your away. I'll treat your pet like family. Your pets happiness and well-being are my priority. I'm currently working from home. Unless I'm on vacation, I am available weekdays and most weekends. Let's make sure your pets receive the love and attention they deserve. I will be sure to pet proof my home. Provide cozy beds in private areas where your pet can relax. Reward good behavior. Every pet has a unique personality I will give them patience and give them time to adjust and feel safe. I can provide toys that stimulate their senses and prevent boredom. Keep pet areas clean to prevent health issues.
“Jake is wonderful. We went on a trip for a week and he stayed with our older dogs. We got pictures and updates from Jake, he took them on walks and outside. The dogs are happy and the house was well cared for. I would absolutely recommend Jake. We never leave our dogs with anyone so this was a big deal and we can’t thank Jake enough for making this a great experience.”

“Christine was great watching our dog, Ozzy! Ozzy can have stranger danger and Christine did a great job managing this. He was so well taken care of and so was our apartment. I highly recommend Christine.”


About: I’ve been volunteering at Randolph Regional Animal Shelter since I was 12, working with dogs of all backgrounds and behavioral needs. I have hands-on experience with reactivity, resource guarding, and fear-based behaviors, and I’m especially patient with shy or anxious dogs. At the shelter, I walk, feed, and help socialize dogs to help build their confidence and trust. I also worked as a Scent Tech at Scenthound, where I assisted with bathing and safely handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. This strengthened my ability to read body language and keep dogs calm in new or stressful situations. A dog who means a lot to me is Henry, a fear-aggressive shepherd at the shelter who has learned to trust me over time. I’m currently saving and working toward adopting him once I find the right housing. Building that bond has been incredibly rewarding and reflects the patience, consistency, and care I bring to every dog I work with.🤎 I work a hybrid schedule as a cybersecurity consultant, with the flexibility to work from home most days and choose when I go into the office. This allows me to be present and attentive throughout the day, and pet care fits naturally into my routine. Even though I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I regularly make time in the mornings to volunteer at my local animal shelter. Caring for dogs is already a part of my daily life, and I’m used to structuring my schedule around their needs. Because of my flexible schedule, I’m able to provide consistent walks, check-ins, and plenty of attention, ensuring dogs feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. I take the time to understand each dog’s routine, triggers, and preferences so I can provide consistent, personalized care. I’m experienced in reading canine body language and handling dogs with behavioral needs, including reactivity and fear-based behaviors, which helps me prevent and safely manage stressful situations. In a client’s home, I respect your space and stick closely to your pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and secure. I ensure doors, gates, harnesses, and leashes are always properly secured, and I never take risks with unfamiliar dogs or environments. I’m attentive to details like feeding instructions, medications if needed, and exercise requirements. I also provide regular updates, photos, and clear communication so you always feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.🥰

About: I’ve been taking care of animals all my life and worked in a doggy day care for over a year. I am educated in general animal anatomy and common conditions given that I was previously enrolled in veterinary courses. I am on track to become a veterinarian so your pet’s wellness is at the top of my priority list!! I’m also extremely comfortable working with all kinds and sizes of animals! I am currently enrolled in a biology program for my pre-vet degree in which I am unavailable Mondays and Wednesdays. I can do day check ins/walks on Tuesdays and Thursday-Sunday at any time. I am also available Thursday-Sunday for pet sitting as well. I will be more than happy to go above and beyond the given instruction as per the client. This includes (if requested) long walks/runs, extra play time, and thorough clean up. I will ensure that the client comes home to a sleepy and happy pet!!
About: I was taking care of pets for friends and family for a while, I love to make sure that they are happy while taking care of.

And I am free Friday Saturday all day. I make sure to ask the right questions, about accommodations and any emergencies. I will keep a close eye on your pet. And make sure everything runs smoothly.
About: I have had experience with animals all my life, my mother is a service dog trainer and fostered many puppies while I was growing up. Later on we owned a hobby farm and I learned the care and work that goes into it. I have been through school and animal science programs, working with animals as a practice groomer. Now I work with all shapes and sizes of dogs as a veterinary assistant. I am working part time at a veterinary clinic and would like some additional work on the side. I love animals and working with them! I am good at adapting to new environments and new approaches when it comes to animals, especially ones that need some extra time and patience

About: I’ve had dogs since I can remember. When I was 11 I had my own dog that I took care of and eventually once I was able to drive I payed and did everything for her (she was my age). I’ve taken care of family members dogs as well. I’m currently working at a doggy boarding and daycare facility. My job is to make sure the dogs are safe, happy and healthy. We take them out to the yard and bring them in for playtime. We learn dog body language and how to deal with their body language. I currently do not have my own dog but I do work at a boarding daycare facility. If you dog needs to be crated I can easily get them in there. The facility has very high fences for when the dogs go outside. Some dogs we do have to keep on a leash outside so they do not run away. I also play with the dogs and give them lots of love. The same can be done in a clients home as well. I will do whatever is needed for the dog I am watching.
