“Annie and Dustin are fantastic! They are super friendly, prompt, and very knowledgeable about dogs. You can tell how much they love them! The best part about Annie and Dustin is how much my Ruby loved them! They embraced her licking and jumping like she wasn't annoying at all haha! I can't wait to work with them again!”

About: I have 5 pets at home including two dogs, two cats, and a guinea pig. I have grown up always having a dog so I can ensure a good pet lover. I'm currently a pet loving college student who is off for the summer, loves to run, and has a lot of free time and would love to spend time with animals. I have five fur babies at home who love attention. I will gladly give anyones pet just as much if not more of my never ending love and attention. I'm also very experienced in animal behavior so I know when a dog or a cat is stressed or happy.
About: I’ve been an animal lover all my life and have often been called on to pet sit for friends and family. When I was younger, I wanted to be a veterinarian. At 17 I did an internship at my local animals hospital. As a result, I’m confident working with most animals and know what to look out for in terms of health issues and can give medications. Although I eventually left the pre-vet track, my love for animals has never wavered. I’m a self-employed writer and artist so I get to set my own schedule! I’m generally available between 8:30am to 8pm. I love doing longer housesits! I’m confident with cats and dogs and I have a list of questions I like to ask to make sure I do things just as you like. If I have any questions while caring for your pet I’ll make sure to reach out.
About: I’ve had multiple years of experience with senior dogs, pets needing help with medication, or energetic pets requiring lots of play. I have two cats myself. I’m a musician with a flexible schedule so I can make time whenever they need me. Happy to do over nights or pop in visits. Ive found it best to try to keep animals routines and schedules as regular as possible from what they’re used to to minimize their stress.
About: I grew up with three cats and help train dogs through the Leadershape! Now I typically share my dog sitting assistance with my friends (for free even!) although I don’t have pets in my own all animals will find a warm welcoming home here I’m currently working full-time, but I work in the evenings and come home on my breaks so plenty of time to check in on our furry friend during the work week I live in an apartment that has a fenced in yard for dogs and a neighborhood park nearby. I’ve sat for large dogs while living here and their needs have been accommodated!
About: I have always been the first to offer to cat or dog sit for my friends. My own cat needs daily oral medication, so I understand the importance of timely medication. I can't wait to meet you and your pets. I am currently attending online school, so I will have a lot of availability to care for your pets! I'm new to the area, and excited to get myself out there. I'm attentive to animal body language, and know some animal first-aid. In case of an emergency, I'm also capable of lifting up to about 80 pounds.
“She is amazing!”
“Alicyn was friendly and very patient with our anxious rescue dog!”
About: I've been around dogs my whole life. I would walk my dogs daily, to explore and go to the bathroom. I would also groom them myself. I am also familiar with cats too.

Erik M.
“Erik is a very caring and responsible pet owner who I’ve seen take so much extra care for animals. Whether it be his own pet or one of his friends or even a stranger’s, Erik takes great care to make sure the animals around him are comfortable and taken care of. I’ve seen him researching best tactics for cat caregiving many times as he thoughtfully implements good practices into his routines with his best friend and kitty Bumi. Bumi was a starving street cat when they met and Erik and him slowly courted each other until a trusting bond was made and Bumi moved in. I hear many stories about training and caring for his past animals who he holds dear to his heart.”
Zaria P.
“Zaria was a perfect match for our Black Mouth Cur, Piper. Piper is a challenge due to her separation anxiety, but Zaria made her feel right at home. She and Piper seemed to be on the same wavelength, allowing her to feel comfortable and at home to keep her eating and walking schedule on point. Zaria definitely has a heart for dogs and her care and intuition was very appreciated especially when working with Piper who can be quite stubborn at times. I’d highly recommend Zaria and use her services again without hesitation.”
