“Emily & Timothy did a great job with our Daisy while we were away on vacaction! Dasiy was staying with my mom, and Emily & Timothy were flexibe, working with my mom for timing Daisy's walks. Daisy can be a stinker on walks, and Emily & Timothy were able to get her out for good, long walks, getting her the exercise she needed during our time away. Thank you Emily & Timothy, you were great!!”

“When new military orders came, we found ourselves in desperate need of someone we could trust to take care of our two very kind, but sometimes very anxious doggos. Despite having only a short introductions, Katherine was an answer to our prayers. She was incredibly professional in communication, took photos of our pups on long walks, and even helped us when we needed last-minute additional walks. I can not recommend her enough!”

“Kristine does a great job with my dog. He can be stubborn or get scared on walks and want to go home. If that is the case she will stay and play with him in the backyard. But she also gets creative and communicates with me on strategies to get him to walk and it has worked. Overall great communication and very timely. Would recommend her to walk or care for your dog.”

About: I have a family dog, and I have loved growing up with her. They are wonderful companions. I have been pet sitting for a family for over 3 years now, and I would love to do more! I am working part-time, so I have plenty of time to hang out and help with pets! Most weekdays/weekends, I am free for your pet needs. I am good at working with both cats and dogs of any size. Just let me know if there is anything specific I need to do!

“Erin was a life saver this week! With my husband out of town for a week and me with my hands full with a three year old and baby, getting out to walk our energetic and LOUD husky was going to be a challenge. Erin was always right on time and such a great communicator. I liked and trusted her immediately and Aurora Dog warmed up to her right away as well. She started waiting at the door for her in the morning. Thank you so much Erin!”

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and the responsibility I bring to every pet I care for. I’ve grown up around pets and currently have a rescue terrier mix named Benji, along with three cats, so I understand that every animal has their own personality and needs. I’ve spent a lot of time dog sitting, walking dogs, and caring for pets for family members, including my grandparents. I’m also currently helping train a puppy, which has given me experience with patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, and I’m happy to follow any routines or special instructions to keep your pet comfortable. I treat every pet like they’re my own and focus on making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. With plenty of trails near me, I can also provide fun, active walks for dogs who enjoy getting outside and exploring. Pet care fits well into my schedule because I have a flexible routine and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I currently work at a dog-friendly business where I interact with dogs regularly, and I make time throughout my week to provide reliable care for pets. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week, including mornings, evenings, and weekends. I can also accommodate overnight stays when needed. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, a long walk, or extra attention while you’re away, I’m committed to making sure they receive the care, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I always strive to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any specific instructions. I know that keeping pets on their usual routine helps reduce stress and keeps them happy. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, affection, and exercise based on their individual needs and energy levels. Whether that’s going for walks, playing with toys, or simply spending quality time together, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Communication is important to me, so I provide updates and photos to help owners feel confident that their pets are receiving excellent care while they’re away.

“Dylan helped us out today when we had to make a trip to urgent care! He stayed longer, helping our guy feel comfortable while we were gone! He goes the extra mile!”

About: I trained my own dog, chesapeake bay retriever, and we have not had any complaints on his behavior. I also take care of friends animals while they are away. I’m working part time and available almost always! i enjoy working out so the crazy animals don’t bother me at all! any time spent with animals is well spent. I tend to follow the guidelines owners have. The way you treat your fur baby is the way I also will. Routine is an important piece for animals.

About: I've been an all-animal lover my whole life. I grew up with dogs, bunnies, birds, turtles, guinea pigs, and even had a snake. To me pets are family, and when I’m with yours, I’ll treat them like my own and make sure they stay safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m currently a fur mom to Miley, a high-energy Rottie mix who taught me how to handle big, dog-reactive dogs in many situations. I’m also a fur mom to Bubbles, my 10-year old little Holland Lop nugget. I've administered many kinds of meds over the years, trained pets, cared for recovering pets after surgery, and cared for seniors. Any size, any breed, or any kind of creature is just another one to love. (Except maybe a tarantula... I can't do spiders.) My schedule is flexible since I have the ability to work from home. When booking, we can always discuss your expectations for time spent in your home with your pets. As a baseline for house sitting, I guarantee 9 hours overnight, plus a minimum of 1 hour every 4-6 hours during the day and evening. I love caring for pets in your home or neighborhood for their comfort and safety. Being in their own environment helps pets relax and adjust more easily while getting to know me. I do have pets of my own, but they do not accompany me during any service. • I also believe communication is key. I ask every new client a few initial questions and require a meet-and-greet to make sure all parties are comfortable before the first service. Also, during your pet’s time with me, I’ll send 1–2 message updates with photos per day (depending on the service) so you can see how things are going and have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I have a flexible schedule and am available for quick check-ins or over night care. I grew up with cats and dogs since I was 13 years old. I am capable of taking care of kittens, puppies, and elder animals that have special needs. My current job allows me to work remote when needed. I can tailor my schedule around your cat(s) or dog(s) daily schedule and current routine. We currently have two dogs and consistently take care of friends and families pets. I like to meet or communicate with any potential clients and animals to get a better understanding of their routine and needs.

About: Hi there! I work fully remotely and would love to give all my attention and companionship to your best friend while you're away. I truly enjoy computer breaks for leashed walks through my dog-friendly neighborhood trails—it's the best part of the day! I’m still missing my sweet 15-year-old boy, Jax, who passed recently. Caring for dogs has always been second nature to me, and friends and family often trust me to look after their pups. I’d love to be that trusted person for you too. Whether it's a weekend getaway or a longer trip, your dog will be safe, loved, and well cared for with me. Available weekdays and weekends. Work from home weekdays 8~5. Up early and attentive to night time bathroom breaks. No fenced yard but lots of green areas and trails for long walks. Lots of room to roam with no kids or other animals at my place but can make it work to watch at your place if you need that accommodation. Dog friendly home with amenities to make your pet comfortable. Experience caring for dogs with anxiety and stomach issues too.
