“Shauna is great! She walks our (very energetic) dog weekly. She is responsive, flexible and always on time. Our dog (Kyla) is skid-dish with new people but she warmed up to Shauna very quickly and is always excited to see her. Kyla comes back from her walks happy and tired - well worth it!”

About: Hi! I'm your always-available, neighborhood friend with 10+ years of experience in being the one you call for when you need a vacation and can't take your pets with you. I have a deep love and respect for all animals and make sure they are well-fed, appropriately stimulated, and taken care of while you're away. I am very loving in nature, but have a good understanding of boundaries set by you & your fur fam! I love taking status update photos and will communicate with you as frequently as you desire. I know leaving your pets home could cause some anxiety, but I hope I can help you enjoy your time off with peace of mind 😌 I am currently self-employed, so I have a lot of free time to take care of your doggo! 🐾 I prefer to be booked around 8:30am-8pm on the weekdays. I'm usually free on the weekends as well, but please reach out first & I can make arrangements ☺️ "Always leave someone's place better than you found it" is a quote my mother always told me growing up. I am very respectful of your space (and your pet's space) & I am always committed to learning your boundaries. You'll always have control over the care I offer, and I will always hear you out and provide care you approve of.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 14 years old. I've taken care of puppies all the to senior dogs. I have experience in walking, feeding, and and playing with my fur friends. I'm currently working part-time and doing school part-time as well. I'm free on the weekends and free after 3pm (6pm on Friday) on the weekdays except for Tuesday and Wednesday. I usually have the holidays off, so I can take care of pets during that time as well. Being a cat mom myself, I have toys, treats, scratch posts, and clay litter at my house for my cat. I always make sure to keep harmful objects or liquids away from my pet. I also make sure she gets plenty of pets and playtime throughout the day.

“Edward is friendly and dependable and also, obviously loves dogs. He walked my larger dog for 1 week, due to my health situation, but also took the time to make friends with my older, smaller dog. I’ll definitely be calling on him in the future as I have ongoing dog-walking needs. It’s nice to have someone trustworthy, who is near by, with a flexible schedule!”

About: I’m an experienced and loving pet sitter who’s been caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, breeds, and personalities for several years. I started out helping family friends and my mom’s clients, and I quickly realized how much I love spending time with animals — whether it’s going for walks, giving belly rubs, or just being a calm, trusted presence while their people are away. Volunteering with animals has taught me to be gentle, patient, and responsible. You can count on me to show up on time, follow instructions carefully, and treat your pets and home with respect. If you’re looking for a reliable, caring sitter who will love your pets like her own, I’d love to meet them! I’ve always enjoyed being around animals. I have 3 cats at home and enjoy being able to eake up every morning with them by my side. I spend plenty of time with them during the day and even at night when they sleep at the foot of my bed. Spending time with animals isn’t something forced or unwanted towards me, it’s just something I enjoy being a part of my day. I offer drop-in visits, walks, and weekend stays, and I always provide updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I’ve been around animals my whole life, and I understand that every pet has their own routines and quirks — I take the time to get to know each one’s personality and make them feel safe and loved.

About: I’ve had dogs growing up my entire life since I was about 10 years old and currently have one of my own. I’ve been responsible for walking, feeding, and watching my own and family dogs since a young age. I’m mostly familiar with caring for small breeds, however, I have taken care of close friends larger pets as well and truly enjoyed it. I’m currently working remotely out of my house full-time and spend the days with my pup at home so it allows me plenty of time to go out for walks and play! My schedule is pretty flexible throughout the work day and am available for boarding after 5pm when my work day ends. I am also free to board any day of the week given my remote schedule and over multiple nights if needed. I have my own small fur baby to keep yours company. My pup is house trained so I let him roam freely and he is allowed on the couch and bed for sleeping. I also leave him out in the house if I must step out. I am happy to crate or provide any other need required to ensure a comfortable stay and routine!

About: I’ve had pets my whole life—dogs, cats, birds, guinea pigs, and more. Caring for animals brings me joy, and I hope you’ll let me care for yours. I have a pretty light course load at school, so caring for animals isn’t a burden to me. I’d love to treat your pets as I treat my own! I’m comfortable navigating your home and following all pet care instructions. I have experience with many different species, and I prioritize adhering to pet owner’s instructions as well as open communication.

About: I have been around dogs and cats my whole life, so I am comfortable watching both. I currently have a super sweet, one-year-old great pyrenees mix who loves to play. I currently work full time, so most of my availability is on the weekend. However, if needed during the week, we can make arrangements to work with your schedule. I will make sure your dog feels right at home while on their stay. They will receive lots of exercise, enjoy plenty play time, and many cuddles!
