“Megan is so experienced! Our two dogs were happy receiving her TLC. That made me happy as well as coming home to find everything in perfect order. I certainly appreciated getting updates and photos, We have booked Megan for our next trip! We feel so fortunate to have connected with Megan.”


“Jen was awesome!! She house sat for 5 days and followed the schedule I left for my two fur babies. Both dogs are large dogs and she walked them every day without hesitation! They were happy and very well taken care of. I was able to relax and not worry because Jen would send text and pictures daily letting me know what was going on. I will definitely be using her again. Thanks Jen!”


“Kelsey was so good with Moose. He has a lot of anxieties but he immediately was comfortable with her and her daughter Kinsley. Kelsey was great and sent us pictures and updates the whole time we were gone. We will definitely be using her again.”


“Alexandria was great for our 100 lb Great Pyrenees Sheperd mix. She came before to meet Kai and ask questions, showed up on time and sent pictures and feedback during the dog sitting assignment. We will definitely be booking her again.”


“Highly recommend Kayce!!!!! We used Kayce to house sit while watching our senior cat Morticia. Kayce was AMAZING. Best vibes. Mature, fun, open & honest, responsible and patient. Great communicator! She was wonderful with Morticia and sent pictures of their interactions. She respected our home as though her own. We will not hesitate to use her again for sitting the cat and/or house sitting.”


“Meaghan did amazing watching our big dog and two cats! We could not have asked for a better sitter to stay the weekend at home with our animals. She was kind, very attentive to the creatures, played with them, administered medicine, and followed all instructions perfectly! She was also very communicative, sent tons of pictures, and cleaned up our house nicely before she left. We will definitely be asking her to come again!!”


About: I have had animals all of my life. I have been personally responsible for the care of my pets since I was seven years old. I was always raised to treat my pets like family, and I do the same with all animals I interact with. I regularly pet sit for my friends and family, and have been doing so since I was a teenager. I have experience with cats, dogs, lizards, snakes, birds, frogs, and most rodents. I am a stay at home wife and mother, so I have a lot of free time in my day. My children are young, so I cannot have animals in my home that don’t get along well with children. I have three friendly, well trained dogs to get along with each other greatly. They’ve gotten along with any other dogs that have been under my care. They are also great with my small children. My dogs get fed twice a day, they get walked on demand, and they are allowed to sleep where they please. When they were puppies, they did sleep in a crate in my room. But as they were trained, they were allowed to use the crate as they please. My dogs are very spoiled, they get plenty of treats, they have lots of toys, they have their own beds, and their own blankets.

About: 🐾 Hi, I’m Shermida—and caring for dogs isn’t just what I do, it’s what I love. With over 14 years of experience, I’ve looked after dogs of all breeds and personalities, providing everything from daily walks and feedings to baths, vet visits, and grooming support. Friends, neighbors, and family have long trusted me to treat their pets like my own. Growing up in a home full of animals, I learned early on how to connect with pets and understand their unique needs. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, senior, or somewhere in between, I offer personalized care that’s both compassionate and reliable. My mission is to make life easier for pet owners while keeping their furry companions happy, healthy, and safe. I’d be honored to be part of your dog’s care team! I work from home, so your pet will always have someone nearby to look after them. I’m available throughout the day to check in, take them for walks, and make sure they’re well-fed and comfortable. Your pet’s routine and well-being are my top priorities Safety and fun go hand in hand here.I keep a close eye on pets to make sure they’re not playing too rough, eating something they shouldn’t, or trying to escape. I’ve got a large, fully fenced-in yard where your pet can run, play, and explore freely—always under watchful supervision. It’s a safe space where pets can enjoy themselves while staying protected.

About: I love all animals. I have experience working as an animal control officer and an animal advocate in a shelter. I enjoy spending as much time with furry friends as possible. I have two dogs of my own and understand how much pets mean to a family. I'll treat your pets as my own. I promise to take good care of your loved ones and spoil them endlessly with love. I am available for dog walks, dog sitting, and dog drop ins. I am more than happy to watch large breed dogs and dogs that get the unfortunate label as "aggressive breed" dogs, as I own a German Shepherd and a Great Dane myself. I also have experience working with other animals as well (cats, bunnies, hamsters, horses, you name it!) I am currently available full time, as I have a WFH job with flexible hours. I prefer at least a week notice for longer stays, to make sure proper arrangements are made. Of course emergencies do pop up and I will do my best to be available for last minute emergency care. I have a fenced in dog run that provides sunlight, shaded areas, a pool during the summer, and a nice cot for sunbathing. I can also crate your furry friend if that is what they prefer.

About: I have experience with cats and dogs of many different kinds! I have taken care of both geriatric & adolescent aged animals. As well as having experience with animals who have special needs like blindness, deafness, and giving medication. I hope to meet your babies soon! I'm currently working full-time but wanting to supplement my income with jobs before and after my work hours during the week and on the weekends. PS. I will be in school starting August and will have more availability during the week then! I will not be able to provide sitting services for any pets inside of my home as I already have multiple animals like cats, dogs, chickens, and fish at my home.

“Caitlyn took great care of my fur babies. She also house sat too. I felt very comfortable with her staying. It was great to come home and know my pets and my home had been taken care of. I would highly recommend Caitlyn and would definitely use her again.”


“Your pets will hardly be left alone. Patrick is also good about leaving your house on the same condition you left it in. My back porch was even in better condition. He responds within minutes to your inquiries during the stay and he sends pictures of your babies too.”


“Jennifer is an excellent care provider. She is professional, punctual, responsible and trustworthy. My dog Josie immediately loved her. Would highly recommend Jennifer for dog sitting/housesitting.”
