“I had Megan stay at my home for 4 days to watch my dog. She did an amazing job, my dog might like her more now than me. Lol. I will definitely use Megan again, she is very trustworthy, she loves dogs and she is an overall great person.”


About: As a dog mom of three very different pups—a goofy cuddle bug, a squirrel-chasing chatterbox, and a calm, loyal companion—I truly understand that every dog has their own personality and needs. What sets me apart is my ability to adapt my care to each dog’s unique energy level, quirks, and routine. I have experience with senior dogs, stubborn breeds, and high-energy pups, and I’m especially great with food-motivated dogs (because let’s be honest—treats are love!). Whether your pup needs a playmate, a cuddle buddy, or a calm presence, I’m here to make them feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I also have experience with medication administration, basic training reinforcement, and helping dogs feel comfortable in new environments. Your pet won’t just be watched—they’ll be cared for like family. Pet care is a natural fit in my life because I’m already surrounded by dogs and love spending time with them! I work full time, but I’m looking to do pet care part time—and I have flexibility in my current schedule that allows me to make arrangements as needed. Whether it’s early morning walks, evening drop-ins, or weekend stays, I’m happy to work with pet parents to find a routine that works for everyone. Caring for animals brings me joy, and I’m excited to welcome more furry friends into my weekly routine! I provide pet care exclusively in my clients' homes to ensure each pet stays comfortable in their own environment and to avoid any stress from introducing them to my three resident dogs. I’m respectful of routines and will follow all care instructions closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, medication, or cuddle time. I make it a priority to keep your pet safe, happy, and loved while you're away, and I always provide updates so you can feel confident they’re in good hands.

“Jamie did an AMAZING job taking care of Hawk while we were out of town! She sent many super cute pix over, and we felt very assured that Hawk was getting tons of love and attention. We would love to work with Jamie again!”


“Gabby is always so attentive to detail! One of my dogs was recently diagnosed with diabetes which comes with a host of problems and I was so anxious to leave him, especially after a recent trip to the emergency vet. Gabby house sat with both of my dogs and handled my plethora of notes/instructions. She took Knuckles for a walk, gave him his insulin, and even did some things outside of taking care of the dogs - handled some package deliveries and brought in our trash cans.”


“Kam watched our two dogs while we were away for a weekend. We greatly appreciated the photos and periodic updates, as well as the excellent communication beforehand regarding feeding and medication schedules to maintain our specific routine, particularly for our dog, Rizzo, who can be a little more anxious at times. Thank you so much for taking such great care of them, as well as our home! We look forward to Kam caring for them again soon!”


“Faith was a life saver! She took great care of our dog Chloe while we were on vacation. When our flights got interrupted and we had to come home a day late she was able to come back and take care of Chloe again that night and the next morning! Whew! Will definitely use her again!”


“Corrinn did a great job! She provided updates often and seemed to really bond with my kitties. I have 4 senior cats that have special needs and I felt very at ease with them in her care. They are very routine orientated and Corrinn didn’t miss a beat with the feeding and medicine schedules. I would definitely rebook and recommend her.”


“Alli was professional and friendly. My dogs loved her, and that’s saying a lot for one of my two who is normally really skeptical of new people. I can tell they had a great time and had lots of snuggles and walks. We will definitely look her up next time we’re out of town!”


“Mallory was amazing and when she gets back from vacation, I will contact her again. She showed up on time and was professional and friendly. My dog loved her and was very calm when I returned home. I highly recommend her.”


“We highly recommend Elizabeth for the care of your pets. She took care of our 14 year old pug while we were out of town and was amazing. We really appreciated all the updates and communication. She is such a caring individual. Just the very best!!!”


“Kayla was great with our german shepherd when we were in a pinch. She communicated with us throughout her overnight stay, sent pictures & updates & offered to help in other areas as well. We would recommend her to care for others pets/homes. Thank you Kayla :)”


“Christina was absolutely incredible. She has been the best sitter we’ve had, hands down. She sent photos everyday with updates of their day, took our dogs for walks, had play time, and even tried to keep our normal work from home routine while we were away for 10 days. We definitely be having her sit for us again.”


“Jenna took really good care of our cat while we were out of town. She texted me every day and sent pictures. I will be sure to use her again in the future!”


About: Volunteer at animal shelter for 2 years great with any animal. College student on pre veterinary track. Friendly, reliable and hardworking with a strong love for animals! I’m a very free person with most of my days of the week free besides Thursday and Monday mornings. Also very flexible and willing to work. I follow any instructions very clearly based on what the animal needs and special care. Willing to walk, play, feed and make sure animal is safe at all times.

“Olivia went above and beyond in watching my dog! I came back to a happy pup and a clean apartment (which I didn't ask for her to clean my place before she left). I own a 75lb GSD who is shy and barky to new people. She warmed up to Olivia right away which I feel goes to show how kind and loving Olivia is as a dog person/sitter. My dog can get nervous outside to random noises and can take some patience as she starts to pull on the leash. Olivia handled her very well and gave her the time and patience she needs. I recommend Olivia as a dog sitter to anyone and have already planned on having her watch my dog again!”


“Erin watched our 2 large Shiloh Shepherds for 3 days (overnight) and she was wonderful! She took great care of our boys, took time to play with them outside, and gave them lots of love and cuddles. She also sent tons of photos, which was greatly appreciated. Our dogs seem to miss her already! Erin also left our house in great shape and was very communicative during the process. Would absolutely have Erin dog sit for us again!”



“Matt and Deb were beyond amazing. I can't say enough good things about both of them. It was my first time using the site and my first time leaving Zeus at home alone. Deb and Matt came to the house to meet us then sent me pictures/updates all weekend. They truly went above and beyond to ensure that both Zeus and I were comfortable. I recommend them whole heartedly and plan on working with them again!”


About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart—especially after caring for my own sweet Bella, who bravely faced mouth cancer until she passed in December 2023. Helping her eat, move, and feel loved during that time taught me patience, compassion, and the true meaning of care. I also care for Bulleit, our Frenchie, who’s overcome two spine surgeries and may not walk like he used to, but still lives every day with joy and spirit. With over 5 years of experience, I treat every pet like family—giving them the love, attention, and gentle support they need. Whether it’s slow, comforting walks, playtime, or quiet cuddles, I’m here to make sure your furry friend feels safe, happy, and truly cared for. I can’t wait to meet your special companion and be their loving second best friend. I currently work second shift from 4 PM to 12:30 AM, so my mornings and afternoons are free—perfect for walks, playtime, feeding, and giving your pet plenty of attention during the day. I’m also fully available on weekends, making it easy to provide consistent care and companionship whenever your furry friend needs it most. This schedule allows me to focus on making sure every pet I care for feels happy, loved, and well looked after throughout the day. Whether caring for pets in their own home or mine, safety and trust are my top priorities. I create a calm, secure environment where pets feel comfortable and relaxed. I always follow the pet parent’s instructions closely—whether it’s about feeding, medication, or special needs—and make sure to keep dangerous items out of reach. At my home, I provide a pet-friendly space with plenty of room to play and rest, free from hazards. In your home, I respect your space and routine, keeping everything just as you like it while giving your pet loving attention and companionship. I’m attentive to each pet’s behavior and needs, ready to respond calmly to any situation, ensuring they stay safe, happy, and stress-free at all times.

About: From the time I was old enough to ask “can we keep him” I’ve always taken care of my best friends. From walking them 3 miles to the vet (before I was old enough to drive) to daily feedings, bathing, grooming and of course, treats! While I spoil the pets, I’m always sure to give them the highest grade food and treats. I believe they deserve the best. Diet and exercise are important. A daily regiment of “fetch” is highly recommended by Duke, the black lab! I would love to take care of your best friend and ensure he/she is given the highest quality of care while keeping Duke company (Duke plays well with others.) I’ve been working from home for the last seven years. I always have time to make sure the water bowls are full and play time is given. Who says you can’t work from the patio while throwing a ball for fetch? Duke and I have a great fenced in yard for plenty of play time and potty breaks. All vegetation is harmless for pets. Grass is well groomed and “yard bombs” removed daily (or as often as required).
