“Hannah promptly responded to our initial inquiry for sitting services. We felt very at ease leaving our high anxiety pup in her care at our home. She sent us updates and pictures during our time away for which we were thankful. If you're looking for a caring, responsible sitter, definitely contact Hannah!”
About: Hello! I have worked at a boarding kennel for 5 years and have volunteered at the Humane society for 2 years as well. I am comfortable with everything your pet brings to the table! I am proficient in understanding a dogs behavior, your dog will be in trusted hands. I am currently working remote on Wednesdays and Fridays and would love some more dog time! I am available throughout the days on these days. I am also available on weekends! I will be sure your dog has the most fun on our walks! I know my way around many types of harnesses/leashes/muzzles. I can’t wait to get my steps in with your dog!
“Sue was so great to deal with and made us feel soooo comfortable! Our old doxie rescue is anxious and moody, so we were so grateful that she was patient with him. We had a couple meet n greets before our daughter's wedding weekend, and felt so relieved with all of the updates from Sue! She is wonderful :)”

“Wendi was amazing. She stayed at our house of the weekend with our 4 dogs. She sent daily pics and texts letting us know our babies were doing well. She picked up after her self even picked up trash raccoon got into in our yard. When she left she left our fur babies a box treats that they are loving. I highly recommend her and we’ve already booked more sitting.”

About: I am a 19-year-old college student who has animal caretaking experience and a love for animals. I have pet sat for years with many dogs and cats (along with small animals) and worked as a kennel and daycare attendant at FuzzyPazws Pet Villa for 2 years. I am a wildlife biology major in school because of my lifelong passion for taking care of animals of all kinds. I have administered medications to my own dog, as well as dogs at my place of work. I have in person classes every weekday, however, I am only on campus for 2-3 hours daily and have the remainder of the weekdays and weekends to care for pets! My classes take place in the afternoons, so I am available to stop in or stay over in the mornings and after classes. In my home, I have a dog, cat, 2 frogs, and 2 guinea pigs. I administer medications to my dog, feed and provide water to all of my animals, clean the litter box, frog aquarium, and guinea pig cage, and walk my dog on a schedule. In clients' homes, I do what is asked along with spending quality time with the pets. This could look like cleaning habitats, feeding according to instructions, providing stimulation, activity, and walks, or whatever the pet needs!

I would prefer to visit my clients dog in there own home that way the dog or cat is not in a new environment cats can be weird to changes so bring them to a new place can be scary for them if the client wishes to bring them to my house I have a 1 year old cavapoo who just wants to make friends and would love it she has a bunch of toys they can play with and I do have a lead that I can use to let them outside if they need to use the bathroom
“Dana was terrific! We were in town to catch a baseball game and needed a sitter for our 9 week-old pup, Chester. She was available on very short notice. She immediately put us at ease: Chester loves her! She updated us throughout their visit. She even gave us useful advice about miniature schnauzer nutrition and separation anxiety—she has mini schnauzers of her own. We couldn’t have been any happier, and we look forward to booking Dana the next time we’re in town.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 13 years old. I have one dog named Zeus who is like a child to me and one cat named Tito who I also adore! Sometimes I think I like animals more than people😂. Animals always love me and I always treat them like my own:)) I currently do not work so my schedule is always open no matter what time or day of the week! I’m free almost all the time:)) I have an open yard with a long chain I use for potty breaks or outdoor play time! We also have many neighbor dogs who love to make new friends! All of my neighbor dogs play together and get along great with my dog.
“Jarett was wonderful. Freya was unfamiliar with him at first but they are now friends. We will happily have him stay with her again. He kept us informed of her well-being, which is always a big relief when you’re away from home.”
“Couldn’t have been happier having Almira watch my sweet baby echo! I had a last minute trip I had to take and she assured my pup was well taken care of. I was so grateful for her communication and flexibility! Would book her 1000 times over!”
About: I have taken care of dogs all my life. I love to play with and bathe them and treat them to something special on occasion. I currently work a full time job, but have free time in the evening and the weekends to care for your furbaby. I am a single mom of 3. My youngest is in college so I kind of have an "empty nest" while he is away, which gives me free time to spend with your furbaby. I do have a furbaby of my own, Toby. He is my best friend and companion. I know how important pets are to the family and I would treat yours as a part of my family. My furbaby gets fed and treats before I leave the house. He loves playing and going for walks. He loves car rides and is seatbelted.
“Danyel was a wonderful dogsitter for my 2 American Akitas and 3 cats. She kept everyone safe and comfortable as she spent a whole week in my home. She even vacuumed, unboxed my live plant deliveries, and collected eggs from my chicken coops. She texted photos and kept me up to date. Would recommend and will book again!”
“Rosie did such an amazing job watching our Forrest & Teddy! Both dogs loved her right off the bat during our meet and greet. She sent us plenty of pictures while we were on our trip, which made us feel good knowing our dogs were in such good hands. She spoiled our pups with the treats I had ready, which surely solidified my dogs’ love for her. I really appreciate that Rosie didn’t just stop by to let our dogs out; she went above and beyond spending quality time with them outside, giving them love and exercise while we were gone. I will definitely book Rosie again, and plan on having her become part of our travel routine when we can’t bring our dogs with us!”

Elena I.
“Elena is great with animals, kind and loving. She feeds and neuters strays and helps provide warm shelters for them during cold months. She has several cats and they follow her on her walks outside, like dogs, it's fun to watch. They clearly love her! She is also good with dogs, they seem to like her instantly too. I would trust her with pets hands down, I have no doubt they will be spoiled and pampered like family members while she is looking after them.”
