About: I have had dogs myself for 9 years which I walk and take care of. I've also been petting neighbors pets off and on for about 9 and a half years. I did a lot of pet sitting in middle and high school, and now I'm looking to get back into it. I'm currently working part-time and in school, but my classes are online so I am free all afternoon, evening, and most mornings for dog walks or drop-in visits! To care for the pets in my own home, we have a designated fenced in yard for them to play and do their business in. For clients pets, the dogs I've watched all had fenced in yards for me to watch them play if they want to go outside.

About: With a deep passion for animal welfare, I have developed a lifelong affinity for dogs. My household has always included at least one dog, and I have gained extensive experience in caring for them throughout my adult life. My children, now adults, grew up in dog-friendly households and have continued this tradition with their own families. I strongly believe that a home is incomplete without the companionship of a four-legged friend. I am well-versed in handling various breeds and sizes of dogs. Your dog and I will enjoy exploring the neighborhood together, discovering new sights and smells. On occasion, we may visit our local Starbucks for a pup cup treat, with your prior approval. We may also take a stroll through the nearby park, weather permitting. I understand the importance of providing dogs with opportunities to experience new environments and sensations. My ultimate goal is to ensure that your dog remains comfortable and stress-free at all times. Please feel free to contact me to schedule a meet and greet. I am available seven days a week, 24 hours a day, to provide pet care services for your fur babies. On Sundays, I am available anytime after 12:30 p.m., following church services. My residence features a fenced yard, providing a secure environment for my five pets. I diligently supervise them, limiting their time alone to brief intervals. We participate in regular walks, adjusted according to weather conditions. I prioritize their comfort, avoiding walks in extreme temperatures and taking measures to protect them from the elements.

About: With over 15 years of hands-on experience, I bring a lifetime of love and care for dogs of all shapes and sizes—from tiny Chihuahuas to towering Great Danes. I’ve been a devoted dog owner my entire life, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. I’m known for being dependable, patient, and genuinely passionate about dogs. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or simply providing a calm and loving presence while you’re away, I’m here to make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and loved every step of the way. I work full-time Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 2:45 PM, which allows me to provide attentive pet care during afternoons and evenings on weekdays. I’m fully available all day on Saturdays and Sundays, giving your pet plenty of dedicated time for walks, play, and companionship. My schedule allows me to balance reliable, loving care with consistent availability to meet your pet’s needs throughout the week. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on maintaining their familiar routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I follow your instructions closely—whether it’s feeding times, exercise, medication, or play preferences. I make sure to give lots of attention, affection, and positive reinforcement so your pet feels safe and happy while you’re away. I also keep the environment clean and secure, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident your furry friend is in good hands. My goal is to create a calm, loving atmosphere that feels just like home.

Liz is fantastic! Extenuating circumstances arose while I was away that complicated her care schedule (twice), but she was willing to help me work on the issues and did so in a timely manner. I really appreciate that because I don’t have anyone else in town to call on when I’m out of town, so being able to trust that she’d make time to sort it was a HUGE relief. I would work with her again!

Fennel was truly amazing with our puppy, Cooper! They were so attentive and communicative. As new dog parents who work full time, we wanted to ensure someone was there to care for Cooper while we were out of the house. Fennel did that and then some! Above and beyond! Many many thanks to the best dog sitter we could have asked for! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! We will be booking with Fennel again any time we need assistance!

This is our first time using a service to take care of our dog. We were a little apprehensive. Lorena came for a meet and greet, and alleviated our worries. She was warm, kind and friendly during her visit with us and our dog. She took great care of him for the 5 days we reserved. Great pictures, and communication throughout the process. We could tell that she truly cared, and took great pride in taking care of our pup. We will and are going to ask her to help us again. She is terrific.

About: While you are away, let your dogs enjoy a pupcation! My wife and I have been caring and training dogs for 10+ years. We have a fenced yard with a lake just beyond that. We currently have 2 friendly dogs who love to play. We can guarantee your dog will have an awesome time! We will train your dog as well if you would like. Dogs will get walked every day and plenty of play time. In this house hold, dogs are part of the family! Able to adapt and provide whatever care you require for your dog. I work 6am - 2pm and my wife works at a hospital over night. So there is always someone home to look after the dogs. If you want, we can take the dog out to the lake. We take ours out there all the time, it is shallow. But if you don't want them to, they don't need to. Our yard is fully fenced and cut off from the pond. Both my wife and I work, but she works night and I work days. So at all times we have someone home watching the pups. We treat your dog just like they were our own. We give them all the love, attention and care that they need. Your dog will gets plenty of play time, cuddles and care.

About: From being a dog walker at 13, to being in the medical geriatric field at 18, to now being a personal nanny for 2 children and their dog… I can truly say helping anyone I can is my calling. I’m currently working as a private nanny, but only needed when the kids are home from school. Therefore, I’m available any weekday (Except Tuesday) from 9:30am-3:30pm and, if needed, I’ll be free at 8pm. Saturdays I’m free all day, Sundays are my days off. I personally have a mini zoo in my house, but I always give my unconditional love and respect to all equally. Whether it’s taking the time to train, clean, groom, feed, walk, etc. I could never get enough of anyone’s fur babies (and/or maybe furless babies).

About: Hi! I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have cared for all kinds of pets over the years. Growing up, my family always had dogs, so I learned early on how to handle everything from playful puppies to senior dogs who needed a little extra attention. As an adult, I’ve personally owned small caged pets and currently own 2 cats, giving me a well-rounded understanding of different animal personalities and care needs. I currently share my home with two adopted cats, each with their own unique story and background. With patience and care, I was able to successfully introduce them to each other despite their age difference and differing temperaments—it was so rewarding and relieving to see them become friends! I understand that every pet is unique and deserves compassionate, individualized care, and I treat every animal I meet like one of my own. I currently work a full time job with the military during the week, but am home early in the afternoon to provide care, comfort, and cuddles to my furry friends and yours! I have a spacious apartment with lots of toys and 2 friendly cats to keep tour furry friend company. Walking around my neighborhood is a breeze with pet pickup spots along the way and a safe environment for walks no matter what time.

About: My husband and I truly treat pets like family. We’ve cared for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior pets, and I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. I’ve taken pet training classes and have hands-on experience reinforcing basic commands and good behaviors. If you’re working on training, I’m happy to help keep things consistent while your pup is with me. I also provide enrichment activities like snuffle mats, puzzle toys, and interactive play to keep dogs mentally stimulated and happy. I work from home full-time, so your pet won’t be alone much during the day. I give regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m also flexible and happy to follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible. They’ll get lots of company, care, and cuddles while they’re here. Your pet’s safety and comfort are really important to me. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely. My home is clean and pet-friendly, with space to play and relax. I use positive reinforcement, patience, and lots of affection. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or visiting yours, I treat them like they’re my own.

About: I have experience with dogs ranging from 3 pounds to 130 pounds. I run a rescue and have fostered many dogs. I've raised numerous puppies. I have the most experience with older animals that need extra attention. I have administered all types of medications ranging from oral, topical medication, pills, insulin injections and ointments/drops in dogs & cats eyes and ears. I also have given vaccines. I work from home so your furry family member will rarely be alone. I will always be able to step away to give some extra potty breaks or extra play time. I have a very large grassy yard with a 4 foot fence. My dog is use to other dogs coming and going. He is happy to play or just coexist. I require all dogs coming into my yard/home be on flea/tick preventative, up to date on rabies, distemper, bordetella and canine influenza. I’m working from home so I’m around the whole day. I’m able to give extra potty breaks if needed. I’m typically able to accommodate last minute requests. I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog to keep yours company. I never leave them unattended. I have extra crates if break time is needed.

Jennie was absolutely amazing. I had a last minute emergency trip and she went above and beyond with my dogs. One of my guys is going through a bad health issue and I was extremely worried leaving him. Jennie not only completely put me at ease with her attitude, she also took care of Henry as if he was her own, got some amazing pictures as well! I can’t express how grateful I am for her. Would absolutely use her again, no hesitation.

Kelly was an absolutely wonderful cat sitter for Luna and Oliver. She was very proactive in her communication and provided detailed updates on how the two were doing, which gave us peace of mind during our travels given Luna’s regular health issues. The cats were clearly very comfortable with Kelly and we greatly appreciated the care and attention she gave to them to ensure they were happy and well-taken care of. She even went the extra mile to help us out during an unexpected incident, which was a huge lifesaver for us. We highly recommend Kelly if you are looking for a sitter who truly cares about your pets and wants to give them the best experience when you’re away!
