“Gabrielle did a great job with Maggie! Gabrielle is very responsive and easy to work with. Maggie got lots of exercise and I got lots of pictures. I would definitely use Gabrielle again!”


“Amelia was Amazing! She gave up updates every day on how Maddie was doing and was very responsive to texts. Our minds were at ease during our vacation and allowed us to relax and enjoy the trip knowing that Maddie was in good hands! We'll definitely recommend and have her over again!”


About: I have had many dogs in my lifetime, around 9 different breeds in the past 18 years. I have also been pet sitting for multiple clients over the course of a year. I have taken care of frail senior dogs all the way to puppies. I don’t mind getting my hands dirty if I must. I also have a lot of experience with other animals! I’ve owned birds, lizards, rats, crabs, bunnies, fish, you name it! I will also gladly take care of any pets like these with no extra charge :) I have a flexible job and am able to work around that as well as my college classes as most of them are spaced out throughout the day. I always make sure to let the pups out immediately and change the water in the water bowl, and feed them if it’s time to eat. I typically make sure to wipe the grime out of their eyes in the morning- it bothers me for some reason, I like when dogs have a clean face. I’ll usually stay for around 20 minutes or longer and hang out with the pups. If a dog needs to get his/her energy out, I’ll normally play with them before I leave to ensure they don’t wreck the house. I’ll give a treat twice a day at most.

“Desire was absolutely fabulous!!! My pup just came home a week ago and she was able to take great care of our energetic little guy! Not being potty trained and in a new environment, she was able to keep him calm, provide updates of him and was very professional! Desire is GREAT!!! ?”

“Once again, Tracey came through in a pinch. She is always very communicative and sends great pictures. During a tornado warning, she even snuggled Shamrock and Kermit in the basement to keep them safe and make them feel more at ease!”


About: I’ve had pets my entire life and taken care of others pets for years. I can walk, feed, play, administer medications, have experience with injection medications with dogs, cats and even reptiles. I have some experience in training with my own animals. I work part time managing a cat themed winery, I have plenty of time around that to take care of your pup or kitty. I absolutely love animals, mine are my world (They run my house!) I can easily fit yours into my schedule and give them all the love and attention they need when you are away. I am really good at following instructions, I can do everything you require for your fur baby. In your home I can ensure it stays clean and they are always taken care of instead of locked up and lonely when you can’t be with them. They’ll be safely entertained and you can even get regular updates on how they are if you’d like!

About: I have thankfully had many dogs my whole life and my intuitive abilities created a special one of a kind bond with every single one. I am currently working on getting multiple life coaching certifications from home so I have a very open availability and can work around any schedule. I currently do not have any pets of my own. I follow the care of the owners for their pets and how they wish things to be done.

“Pat was absolutely fantastic with our dog Trigger. She provided exceptional care and attention, especially considering Trigger is a senior dog with specific needs. We were so pleased with her level of commitment and genuine care for Trigger. Pat kept us updated regularly with messages and sent us tons of adorable pictures, which really reassured us while we were away. It's clear she has a special connection with dogs, and Trigger definitely seemed to bond with her quickly. We are looking forward to having Pat stay with Trigger again in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. Her dedication and the peace of mind she provided were invaluable to us.”


About: My name is Kelvin and I attend the doctoral of physical therapy program at DeSales University. I am currently a proud owner of a beautiful 12 year old blue nosed pitbull/boxer mix named Otis. I understand and promote the idea that all animals need a proper balance of exercise, discipline, and affection (in that order). I have come to realize that achieving this leads to a well behaved dog. I also believe that calm assertiveness and patience is the key to achieving a solid relationship with your dog. Achieving this will gain your dogs trust and respect and once you have that the sky's the limit. Overall, I am here for the dog and his/her well being. I am a firm believer that all dogs need the proper amount of exercise each day to become balanced and obedient. I am a full time student Monday-Friday. But I am available all day over the weekend. If you really need someone to care for your pet I might be able to do anytime after 5:00 on weekdays. I am renting a home with a back yard. The yard is not fenced but quite private. I can make accommodations to keep the pet on leash the entire time.

About: Hi guys, I’m Hannah (: I would consider myself a very well rounded animal lover and caregiver.

I have owned and trained my own dogs in the past and currently have two cats. I am open and enthusiastic about assisting with any animal you may have (: I am currently working part time in the mental health field but am looking to fill my spare time looking after your fuzzy friend!! I am available Monday & Tuesday early morning and afternoon. I am eager to provide the best care for your pet in your home environment! I have experience with dogs and cats of all kinds and am adaptable with making sure any needs they may have are met accordingly.
