Once again Karla has come to our rescue. I needed nightly walks for a week. She braved some of the coldest days and walked them every evening to my doggies delight to see their favorite sitter. Much appreciated!

About: I’ve had dogs in my house for my entire life. Seriously, not a single day without a dog! I currently have 2 mini dachshunds, which if you know, can be known as one of the trickiest breeds. They are my babies, and they’ve inspired me to use my love of animals for good! I also have experience volunteering at the SPCA, caring for both small and large breeds. I work from home and have opportunities throughout the day to use my time for animal care. I live in a highly residential area that puts me very close to a lot of homes who may need care. I will follow the owner’s directions exactly, and treat their dogs as my own. I love spending time outside, allowing the dogs to get plenty of fresh air and play time.

About: I’ve had experience with different pets all my life. I was lucky enough to grow up with parents that never turned away a pet I wanted: cat, dog, frog, mouse, rabbit, guinea pig, you name it. I’ve loved it and cared for it. We currently have two Rottweilers and a cat. One dog unfortunately has stomach issues, seizures, arthritis and severe skin allergies. I am very well accustomed to administering medications, whether oral or injections, as I am an RN who is a current stay at home mom. I went back to work as an RN for a while but I am back at home and reopen for bookings! I am generally available from 8am to 4:30pm, Monday through Friday, unless there’s an appointment I need to attend. I am excited to get back to providing loving care for my clients! I have had great success with great clients that have given instructions on how their pets like to be greeted and behave. My pet parents know their babies best so I always use their suggestions. Sometimes it’s with treats, sometimes it’s with a ball, and sometimes it’s with creating space and honoring their wishes (usually cats lol).

Ruth has been so wonderful with my puppy Zoey. It's my first puppy and my first time using a sitter so I am so grateful to know that there is an agency with kind and pet loving people that are willing to help people like me. Thank you again Ruth.

I have a huge yard for my 2 big girls, giving them so much space to run and play! We love outside time more than anything!

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have raised my 7 year old golden retriever. I have trained her for the last 6 years and have also gotten the opportunity to train and take care of plenty of family and neighborhood pets. I’ve had the privilege of training puppies and older dogs as well. I have also gotten the opportunity to take care of a few senior pets that needed extra care and medications. I was also a volunteer at my local shelter for about a year so I have experience with lots of different breeds and personalities. I love all dogs no matter the breed or size, your pets are all family to me! I’m currently a college student on summer break so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I am willing to spend as much time with them as needed. I have a fenced yard and a friendly, loving golden retriever. I am able to help with potty training, crate training, and any other type of training you might need. I also try to maintain your pets on the same schedule you had them on so that it is an easy and fun time for them! My favorite pastime is to walk and play with all pets. I also love to send many updates so you can see just how happy they are!

About: Dogs need attention just as much as humans do, if not more! We provide games, fun exercises, walks, and most importantly a nice nap. My husband has experience with birds, cats, and dogs! I'm at home all day and my husband works close by. Minimum 3 walks a day as we really enjoy exercising. We both give a lot of attention to our dog! We have several dog play areas in our community. We have a balcony where our furry friends can sit and people watch. We also have several dog beds so our friends can recharge their energy!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, including family pets and those of friends, for the last 10 years. I now have two pups of my own! :) Family and friends have trusted me to feed, walk, bathe, administer medication to, and otherwise care for their dogs for many years. I love spending time with all the fluffy friends! I work from home and am generally flexible with my schedule! Just let me know, and we can find something that works for all of us. I have a fenced yard and my friendly own dogs can keep your fur babies company. We can also separate them completely if you prefer. We have two sides of the house with separate entrances to the backyard.

I want to thank Bethany and Nathan for being so awesome! They have cared for my baby Angel several times now. They are very reliable and responsive. I have been accomadated for last minute sittings. I am a nurse and sometimes get called into work a 12 hour shift at the last minute. I call Bethany and she sits for Angel with no problem. I feel very comfortable leaving Angel with Bethany, I don't have to worry about her. I can focus on what I'm doing with no fears about Angel. If you are a pet parent you know how important it is to find someone knowledgeable and reliable to care for your pet who is like your child. You can feel safe and secure that Bethany and Nathan will treat your pet just like their own. Just to wrap up I want to say that from the first time Angel meet Bethany and Nathan she took to them like she has never done before. I was amazed and knew then I had found the right person's to sit for Angel whom I love very much.

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up with a dog and two cats and honestly, I can’t remember a time when there wasn’t a furry friend by my side. I’ve always been surrounded by animals, from family pets to farm animals, and over the years I’ve become the go-to pet sitter for friends and neighbors. Now that I’m a college student, I really miss having animals around, so I’m excited to share my love and care with your pets! Whether it’s going for walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’ll treat your pets like my own. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members, and I’ll always make sure they’re safe, happy, and loved! I am currently in a social work graduate program, so I am in an internship during the weekdays 9am-4pm. I can usually work around those times, and I try to be as flexible as I can, so please reach out even if my calendar says I’m not available! I live in a pet-friendly apartment with two friendly cats (who can easily be separated if needed), a screened-in patio perfect for lounging, and access to a dog park and safe walking trail nearby. It’s a cozy, welcoming space where pets can feel relaxed and at home. I’m comfortable following any specific care routines or instructions you provide, and I’m also very intuitive when it comes to understanding an animal’s needs and emotions. Whether your pet needs extra playtime, quiet companionship, or just someone to make them feel secure while you’re away, I’m happy to provide that love and attention.

About: I’ve owned dogs my entire life and went to school to train them. I’ve dog (and puppy) sat for neighbors and friends. If only dogs could stay puppies forever. 🥰 I have a fully fenced in yard and two pups of my own so your fur baby will have friends to play with. They’re both super sweet, so you won’t have to worry about your baby being bullied. I supervise all playtime, especially outside. If you want/need to have a crate for yours, please bring it so I can absolutely accommodate. Your baby will be loved as my own. 🖤 I love taking my babies to the dog park to play with others, but if you don’t want your baby to be around many other dogs, just let me know. 😊 There will always be playtime inside and outside depending on the weather. I can send you pictures during your baby’s stay with updates of how everything is going. 🥰 I work from home so there is always someone around to supervise and there are cameras around the house to keep an eye if we have to step out. 🙂 I have plenty of toys they can play with, and you can bring their favorite ones as well. If I’m stopping by your house, I’ll make sure everything is as you left it and follow any and all instructions you have left. 😊

About: 30 + years experience with dogs. I've owned or cared for other people's dogs since childhood. I have a large fenced in backyard for your pup to play! I love dogs and want to spoil and snuggle yours because I currently do not have a dog. I work part-time/variable schedule and my roommate works full-time from home so there is almost always someone home. I have a very flexible schedule so I am available most days of the week consistently for caring for your pet. I have a large fenced in back yard for your pup to play. My neighborhood also has a dog park area if you are comfortable with your dog in that setting. There are two chill, snuggly cats in my home.

Thank you so much for helping me with my baby! I truly appreciate your quick response and willingness to accept the booking at the last minute. Since Gysmo isn’t very social, I was so happy to see him build a connection with you. It means a lot to know he’s getting out, staying active, and enjoying some exercise. Thank you again for your kindness and great care , I highly recommend you!
