About: I am an animal lover to the fullest and your neighborhood pet sitter! Being around dogs is a form of therapy for me; I also give the best chin and belly rubs a pet could ask for... so it's a win-win! I grew up in a dog household. I will properly care for your pet as if they were my own. My schedule is very flexible and I am open to working with your busy schedule and your pets' needs. I have experience with many kittens and full grown cats and puppies as well as elderly dogs. I am learning more about this industry and pets everyday and loving every day of it! I look forward to meeting you and becoming your pets' newest friend!
“Jacob was incredible. He stopped by to meet our boys last week. They immediately took to his kind calming demeanour. He was as very personable and kept us informed periodically throughout the day with pictures and updates on our boys. We are very thankful for him and would use him as our sitter again in a heartbeat.”
“Hailey is the calm to my chaotic storm (4.5 year old boy, 11 year old cat, 8 week old dog). This day she came to help with my pup on my wildest morning yet. She was kind, calm, and non-judgmental. She made me instantly feel better and at ease when she showed up. Cannot say enough great things about Hailey!!”
About: I began doing pet sitting in 2016 for family & friends, and that was most of my sitting experience until I began my dog training certification. Now I’ve been in pet care professionally for two years, and have had my dog trainer certification for half of that. My weeks are based around pet care. I do it full-time and have a customizable schedule based around my various clients & appointments. I have special hours available at request. I make sure to get an exact outline of what is expected/allowed for the pet, and am not shy about requesting elaboration if there’s any confusion on my part. Additionally, I like to do what I can to keep them mentally stimulated with games, activities, and some light obedience training/reinforcement so they can hopefully carry that good behavior over to their daily life.
“Mark is a great sitter that my family has used twice now! The animals love Mark and I'm always getting updates with pictures of them for peace of mind. Absolutely recommend for your pet sitting needs!”
“Haley and Alex came through for me in a very last-minute and stressful situation due to a family emergency. They stayed with my Boys and kept them happy and cared for in my home while I was out of town. They were great about keeping me updated, especially knowing how stressed I was since this was the first time anyone besides my immediate family took care of my pups. I would definitely book them again and will recommend them to all of my pet parent friends! 🐶🐾”
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my lifelong experience with animals. I've always had pets, including those I've rescued and others I've raised from birth, so I'm familiar with a wide range of temperaments and needs. I've also provided loving care for several senior dogs and a senior cat I had since she was a kitten, giving me valuable experience with pets at every stage of life. Since I am primarily self employed, I am flexible in terms of availability! I am available day or night. I try mt best to accommodate client needs. Since I love in a second story condo, I walk my two canine boys several times daily for exercise and for bathroom needs. My cat, Gracie stays indoors but has everything she needs at her disposal.
“Alexandra was excellent! She followed my instructions and took very good care of Paula. I trust her completely. She also left my house in great condition which I have issues with in the past. I can’t wait to use her services again.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life. I’ve taken care of our family dogs for their care. I have years of experience in dog walking, feeding, and playing with dogs. I am a lover of all dogs. I am a college student and am free all Summer. I can watch your pets/home any day or time. I have a very flexible schedule. While watching your pets, their safety and well-being are my utmost priority as well as following owner's instructions. I provide a fun and loving companion for your pet while you are away.
About: I've grown up with animals my whole life- cats, dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, reptiles, etc. I've taken care of pets of all ages, from young to senior. I am available all days of the week, including the weekends. My time schedule is flexible and I would also be able to do drop in visits or stay overnight as well. By following owner specific instructions when given, I strive to make both the pet(s), and thus the owner, feel safe while under my current care.
About: I’ve been an animal lover all of my life! I move frequently so I can’t have a pet just yet. This makes it easier because I still get to spend time with animals! I live with my girlfriend so we can both help take care of your animal! This allows us to work together to make sure your pets needs are met! We will be very present so we will always have an eye on your pet! We will send quick updates to help owners stay connected and reassured. We are outdoor enthusiasts so your pets will get their daily exercise everyday!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and horses almost my entire life! I have experience with dogs who struggle with dog aggression, leash problems, diabetes etc. I am very patient and understanding and I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! I am self employed so I am able to move my schedule around as needed to accommodate your pet and their personalized schedule. I don’t mind early morning walks as I am up with the sun normally! I am flexible to work with your dog’s current life style, needs, or whatever they may require. I have my own Australian cattle dog who is extremely friendly and willing to accompany your dog if needed or allowed!

“Hannah is one of the most trustworthy and capable people I’ve ever had care for my animals. She’s watched our dogs overnight many times and always goes above and beyond. She’s also experienced with horses, ducks, and chickens—it's such a relief knowing she understands farm animals too. Hannah is smart, kind, and incredibly patient. You can tell she truly loves animals, and they love her right back. I always feel completely at ease when she’s caring for our crew.”
