“Isabella is pure joy. She is knowledgeable as well as professional. She kept in touch thru txts and sent pics often. I will book her over and over. If you are looking for a pet sitter Isabella is the one. Isabella I am grateful for the time you spent with my family. See you next time”


“Brittany genuinely loves animals. She connected with my German Shepherd right away and she didn't just check care taking tasks off a list she took care of our 7 year old puppy while we were away. She was professional and easy to work with. We don't need a sitter very often but I'm sure there will be more Brittany in our future.”


About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. The first dog I called mine was a miniature schnauzer named Poca. I got her when I was 5. I have had many dogs over the years, as well as cats, birds, guinea pigs, hamsters, reptiles, and other types of pets. I have worked at animal shelters for months of my life. I would feed animals, give them water, take them outside, help administer medicine, watch them in the yards, and just generally love on them. I also have experience working with wild animals at zoos. I have open availability for pet care services, as my main source of income is gig economy work. I am flexible, so no matter what you need, I can likely make it work. I make sure your pets always have access to fresh water, and depending on how your pets are usually fed, I can feed them on a schedule or set up free-feeding. I will also make sure they get plenty of attention.

About: I've had guinea pigs all my life, and I have taken care of my friends and families dogs and cats. Taking care of animals is a huge passion of mine, and I take it very seriously I have a lot of free time on my hands and would be available anytime of the week. If something does come up on my schedule I will let you know. I would prefer to take care of your animals in your own home and would be able to stay over or check in on them as much as you want.

“Serena was amazing! She sent me updates with pictures and videos multiple times. We will for sure be using her for whenever we need a pet sitter. I think my sweet Annie girl found a new bestie!”


“Marian is very experienced with dogs and provided some basic training and tips for the few hours she watched our dogs! One of our dogs is nervous and has separation anxiety and Marian worked well with him. She was professional and communicated well with us. We would highly recommend her for others.”


“Katie was great with our dogs. She left our house as we did. Thank you so much. It made our vacation more relaxing, knowing we didn’t have to worry too much about Fiona & Frazier because they were in good hands.”


About: Hi! I’m a full-time Veterinary Technician with a passion for animal care both in and out of the clinic. I have hands-on experience working with pets of all sizes, breeds, and personalities, I bring medical knowledge, attention to detail, and genuine compassion to every pet-sitting job. Whether your pet needs extra care, medication, or just a loving presence while you’re away, you can trust that they’ll be in safe, capable hands. I treat every pet like family—because they are. 🐾 As a full-time veterinary technician, I have a unique advantage when it comes to pet care. My schedule allows me the flexibility to either bring certain pets with me (when appropriate and permitted) or to stop in during my shift for walks, feeding, or medication visits. Because I’m close by and experienced in managing time around animal care, I’m able to check in on pets regularly and ensure they stay on their routine. I’m fully committed to providing dependable, attentive care, even on workdays. I respect your home and your pet’s routine. I follow all instructions carefully. From feeding and walks to playtime and medication. I provide updates and photos to give you peace of mind while you’re away. My veterinary background allows me to notice and respond quickly to any changes in behavior or health, so your pet is always in caring and capable hands.

About: I'm an experienced veterinary nurse with over 30 years, taking care of all kinds of pets. I am currently a surgical nurse and I specialize in senior care, diabetics, post surgical care and medical boarding. When your pet needs extra special care, call me! I work full time Tues, Wed, Thurs, which leaves me free to pet sit Fri, Sat, Sun & Mon. Perfect for those long weekend plans! I have a large, safe, fenced in yard for your dog to play.

“Jillian was great. Our 4 dogs took to her quickly and she did a good job caring for them and the cat. She was very considerate and kept us updated along the way. No issues came about and we will definitely have her again in the future if/when needed. I highly recommend her to anyone.”


“I was a little apprehensive about leaving my fur babies for 9 days, but Abigail put me completely at ease. She came over and did a meet and greet and was very attentive to the boys. While we were away, she kept in close contact and sent many pictures. When I got back, not only were the boys we'll taken care of, but my house was spotless! I will definitely be using Abigail again and would strongly recommend her to anyone who is in need of a sitter.”


About: I have been helping care for our dogs my entire life but I’m really only counting since I was 10. I’m not sure if I would count earlier as helping lol. I would dog sit for family, friends, and coworkers too. I always make sure they are happy and feed. Along with making sure all their energy is out too. I will follow all food instructions that they have. I have given dogs pills before if they require them. I have limited experience with both elderly dogs and puppies, however I am willing to learn what they will need from me. I do work full time but I have an hour lunch where I can run back to let them out. I work from 8-4 so if they don’t need to be let out during the day I will let them out immediately once I get back. I do not do much on the weekends so weekends will be spent with furry friends. I will care for your pet in your home and make it as close as to their routine as possible. I have walked dogs on a leash and have good control. If they do not eat human food they will not be given human food. I always stick to the portions that I am told when feeding them too. If I have a concern about one of the furry friends I will contact you immediately to see what you would like me to do.

About: Since I was 13, I have always been responsible for my bulldog, Oscar. He was a bigger, tough guy, so I am pretty experienced in handling tougher dogs. I also own a pit bull and have learned ways to deescalate situations with my own dog. I have consistently cared for my friends and families pets, walking, feeding, playing, even bathing them! I am a current college student, and work a per-diem personal care assistant job. I am available for overnights on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Weekdays can be accommodated depending on time, I am flexible so reach out! I am available throughout the week after my clinical rotations, and on the weekends. After my clinicals I am available at 8pm-9pm Monday-Wednesday, Thursdays anytime after 8pm. Friday-Sunday I am flexible, just reach out! My pets are crate trained, so I am able to operate them as needed for your pet. I have a fenced in yard but frequently take my pets for walks and keep them safe, like I would for your pet! Their safety and your comfortability is my priority!
