Our pup took to her right away when she visited and we appreciated the thoughtful questions she asked.

About: I have many years of experience caring for cats and dogs, I grew up with 3 dogs and 2 cats, and I have 5 years of experience dealing with cats with Feline Diabetes. I have 4 cats that I love and care for every day, they are my whole world! I am available on nights, weekends, and holidays. In my clients home, I would get to know the animals first and make them feel comfortable with me, and make sure I listen carefully to the clients instructions on how to care for the pet(s).
“Olivia was amazing with our Cavapoo, Lulu! They bonded instantly, and Lulu got to stick to her routine even while we were away. She made sure Lulu got plenty of playtime and attention, which we truly appreciate. Thank you again, Olivia, for keeping our girl company today! 😊🐶”
About: I currently own a mixed breed dog who is 14 years old. I also currently own a 20 year-old Bengal cat and 7 year-old Siamese cat. I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life and have plenty of pet experience. I am recently retired so I have the time to take care of your pet(s) when you need a reliable dog/cat sitter or dog walker. I can come to your home for drop-in visits while you are at work or away on vacation. I can also come and walk your dog if you are away from home for extended hours.
About: I’ve been around dogs of all shapes and sizes for most of my life, and honestly, I think they’ve raised me more than I’ve raised them. When people say there’s nothing better than a dog, they’re absolutely right unless that dog just ate your sandwich or rolled in something “mysterious” at the park. Still, I’d do anything to give my dogs the best life possible. They've brought me so much joy, unconditional love, and a healthy fear of leaving food unattended. Some of my best memories (and worst carpet stains) have come from having them by my side. Availability: July 13 - July 20 Friday: 7:30 PM – 11:00 PM Saturday: Open Availability Sunday: Open Availability Availability: August 3 - August 10 Friday: 7:30 PM – 11:00 PM Saturday: Open Availability Sunday: Open Availability As a dedicated dog owner, I am always fully aware of my dogs' locations at all times. No matter the service request, I will prioritize their safety above everything else. Their well being is my top priority, and I am committed to ensuring they are secure and protected in every situation.
About: I have pet sit other dogs prior but the one dog that sticks out is my sister’s black lab. Shakira was a black lab mutt with an auto immune disease. She needed twice daily medication and to be taken out side frequently. I work nights as a custodian for a school district ! So I’m available early to mid mornings for walks or house sitting over the weekends. As I have a cat, my number one priority for him is always making sure the doors are shut. He’s an indoor kitty and I ensure that it stays that way. Always guaranteed to have food and water and a clean litter box.
“John was excellent. He went above and beyond in every respect. We give our highest recommendation. John not only was very conscientious with our 2 dogs but also cleaned up our yard after the storm, hung our flag and fixed our trellis! We will definitely be booking again!”
“Ava stepped up for us last minute when previous arrangements fell through. She is kind and considerate and wanted to make sure Tucker and Zeke had the best time while I was gone. I came home to a tidy house and she even stripped the sheets off the bed she slept in. I was not expecting that. I got daily photos of each dog while I was away, but I know deep down they did not miss me 🤣. I would reach out to her again.”
“Ross took great care of our animals! He watched 2 dogs, 2 cats, a bird, fish, and a snake! He was very communicative, thorough in preparing for the weekend with the pets.”
About: If you require a morning walker or need someone to run a few miles with your energetic dog, I am your person. I have experience with various types and sizes of pets. I am also very meticulous about their needs and yours. Please let me know their preferences and behaviors so I can best meet their needs. As a student my schedule varies but it I am typically available for morning and afternoon services such as walks and check-ins. I could also accommodate afternoons services depending on the week and request. My weekends are typically free unless specified otherwise. Available to do overday dog sitting on weekends (Friday, Saturday) If you are requesting drop-in services at your house, please let me know what your pet requires. I can offer play time, refill water and food, medication administration, brushing, and complete certain household tasks. Occasionally, if I do overday dog-sitting, your dog will have a fenced-in backyard to run around in.

“Nancy is the loving pet owner of a 14 year old dog , a 19 year old cat , a 7 year old cat, and a turtle that she took in when a friend couldn’t care for it any longer. When Nancy and I married she took in my 6 year old German Shepherd Jackson and treated him as one of her own pets. Jackson was unfortunately diagnosed with degenerative myelopathy and Nancy provided constant care with helping him get around the house and up and down the stairs, taking him to physical therapy, and just keeping him happy. Nancy is a great and loving pet parent and is a very responsible person.”
