About: When I was young I grew up with animals. Since then, I have spent a lot of time with my friends and neighbors dogs. For example, I walk my neighbor’s dog everyday (for no fee) as they are an older couple and Chloe waits for me every morning. They joke that she’s my dog. I have pet sat for my friends during their vacations, pregnancies, and chemo appointments. These dogs have a special trust with me so their owners always feel comfortable when they’re away. I usually send pictures etc to update how they’re doing. One special picture was of the dog lying on the baby blanket that the parents had sent from the hospital. The mother said she burst into tears of gratitude. I have a job where I’m actively at work only 3 days a week. I spend my off days outdoors hiking usually which makes dog sitting / walking perfect. When I stay in the clients home, I try to keep to the schedule that is already known to the animal. At my own home, I do have a fenced in area. There are neighborhood dogs that can come and play if the dog is sociable.

“Stephanie has been awesome with my cat!! She was extremely flexible as our travel plans had to change and made sure our furry friend was in the best company while we were gone. We will definitely be hiring Stephanie for all of our future visits!”


“Brooke is very friendly and quick to respond. She followed Hina’s care instructions exactly, and my kitty was comfortable and happy with her. Plus, she sent great photos and visit summaries! I highly recommend Brooke! :)”

About: I grew up on a farm, and always cared for multiple dogs at the same time. My wife and I have had, or cared for dogs almost all our adult lives. I enjoy caring for dogs and spending time walking with them, playing with them, and just being with them. I recently retired, and my wife works from home, so we’re both here all day. I take daily walks, and spend a lot of time outdoors. I have a good-sized yard, live in a quiet neighborhood, and my property borders conservation land. I can easily accommodate a crate, dog bed, etc.

About: As an experienced pet-owner and dog walker, I understand the different needs of a variety of dogs. From taking care of my German Shepherds, Pitt/Boxer mix and Jug (Jack Russell Terrier/Pug), I have learned to read the body language of dogs and can cater to their specific needs. As a sitter, I will ensure your dog receives ample attention and exercise, and is comfortable in a new environment. I have experience boarding in the past, and understand the responsibility of having someone’s pet in my care. I will treat your pet as if it’s my own! As a walker, I will adventure with your pooch, giving them the appropriate amount of movement and fresh air they need to stay happy until their parent(s) return. My apartment is pet-friendly and kept clean for optimal safety and comfort. I am currently in between jobs so am very flexible and can cater to your needs. I have a car and can travel as well. I treat all clients homes with respect and am observant of my surroundings. We can go over any ground rules together beforehand to ensure clear communication.

About: I’m a recovered former government employee transitioning back to something I love - working with pets!

My flexible, part-time availability allows me to focus completely on each pet during our time together, ensuring they receive quality, undivided attention. I have extensive experience in pet-care, and began my career working at a well-regarded pet hotel in a past life! I have a flexible schedule right now, and will work with you to find availability that works for you and your pet so that you can pursue your personal and professional activities with the peace of mind that your pet is cared for. I understand the importance of home security and respect for your private space. I'm happy to work with you to access your home in the most secure way possible, and will ensure a safe and secure visit for both you and your pet.

About: At 19, I’m a passionate dog lover who has been caring for my two poodles and other dogs for years. With extensive experience, I provide personalized care tailored to each dog’s unique needs. You can trust that your furry friend/s will receive all the love and attention they deserve while you’re away. My work schedule keeps me busy, but I make pet care a priority. I often dog-sit and walk during my free time, allowing for flexible arrangements that ensure your pet receives the attention they need. I’m committed to providing loving care while balancing my responsibilities. In my home, I create a safe and comfortable environment for pets, with plenty of space to play and relax. I ensure they have access to fresh water, toys, and cozy spots to rest. During walks, I maintain their routines and provide engaging activities. In my clients' homes, I prioritize their pets' comfort and follow any specific instructions provided. I maintain a clean and secure space, offer companionship, and keep them engaged with playtime and exercise. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every pet with love and attention to ensure they feel at ease.

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my deep sense of responsibility, patience, and genuine love for animals. I bring hands-on experience caring for both high-energy puppies and older dogs who require a gentler approach and extra attention. Whether it’s sticking to a consistent potty-training routine, handling medications, or just providing a calm and comforting presence, I tailor my care to meet each pet’s unique needs. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and loved while their owners are away, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m attentive, reliable, and make sure to communicate clearly with owners so they feel at ease every step of the way. Whether your pet needs extra playtime, slow walks, or a little bit of both, I’m here to give them the quality care and affection they deserve. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine, especially since I work a part-time job with a flexible schedule. It allows me to spend meaningful time with animals throughout the day while still being attentive and consistent with their needs. Caring for pets is not just something I enjoy—it brings balance to my day, keeps me active, and adds a sense of purpose. I love being able to provide companionship and care, whether it's morning walks, mid-day playtime, or relaxing evenings together. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s, I prioritize comfort, routine, and safety. I create a calm and loving environment where pets feel secure and cared for. I stick closely to their usual feeding, potty, and play schedules, and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. In a client’s home, I respect their space, follow detailed instructions, and make sure their pet feels relaxed in their familiar surroundings. Whether it’s walks, medication, or cuddle time, I tailor my care to meet each pet’s individual needs.

Jaimie G.
“Jaimie is the dog whisperer! Our shy girl doesn’t want much to do with people but Jaimie’s patience won out. Within a couple of hours Dyna (our black lab) approached her and Jaimie let her sniff and take her time - didn’t force her or even reach out to pet her initially. Dyna was very comfortable with Jaimie from there on out and would happily approach for pets. Taking Dyna for walks, playing frisbee - Jaimie dotes on her. Jaimie has made repeated visits to our home and Dyna is very comfortable with her. I trust her 100% with my dog and she treats her as if she was her own!”

Sarah went above and beyond what we expected for a dog sitter, and our dogs always greet her with wagging tails. I know she takes great joy in her work, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to look after the pets.”

“Ariana is an excellent care giver to my cat Papaya. Every time she looks after her I come home to a happy well taken care of cat. She will always go the extra mile whether that's giving you animal a longer walk, taking the time to play for a few extra minutes or noticing the little things like refilling their water bowl. I am always more than satisfied with the care she gives to my cat. Ariana always exceeds expectations and is an incredible pet sitter.”
