About: I’ve cared for animals and pet sitting since I was very young! I have farming experience, and I love helping animals feel at peace when their owner is gone. I’ve even dealt with and more complex situations in caring for animals with medical needs. I also have a passion for chickens so if they need care while your gone I’m a great fit! I’m free on the weekends, and work remotely throughout the week, which would leave me plenty of time to play and care for your special pet! I am happy to care for your animal in their home including walks and keep care of basic house sitting needs while you are away! I love to play with pets and snuggle them if they’ll let me!
About: Hi there! I’m a proud military veteran with a deep love for dogs and years of hands on experience. I personally trained my own service animal, which taught me patience, consistency, and how to truly understand a dog’s needs. Whether it’s a high energy pup or a senior dog needing gentle care, I’m confident and compassionate with all kinds of dogs. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do, it’s something I genuinely enjoy. Your furry family member will be in safe, loving, and reliable hands with me! As a dive instructor, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care throughout the week with enough notice. I treat every home with respect and make sure pets stay comfortable by sticking to their usual routines. I follow all care instructions closely and keep things clean, calm, and safe. You’ll always get updates and photos, so you know your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
“Chelsea is great! Animals were instantly in love with her. She’s very kind and loving to my high maintenance pups. Chelsea sent pics and was good about communicating with me. And the house was clean when we got home. So thankful we chose Chelsea !! I didn’t worry at all.”

“Lauren was so very gentle, respectful and attentive towards all my kitties, and I have a handful of them. I loved receiving the lovely photos she sent during her stay as it made me feel connected. During one stressful incident with one of my most skittish cats she took all the proper measurements to ensure we were updated on his status. She really went out of her way to make sure she did everything she could to ensure his wellbeing and always communicated so well. I would definitely trust her to stay with my pets again. Looking forward to seeing her again in the future and can highly recommend her to anyone needing a person that provides considerate care for their pets.”

About: I have been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember! I have experience with everything from horses and livestock, to birds, reptiles and fish. I am currently working very part time (3 hours a day) at a Kennel. I am usually always home by 11 am and am only away from home for a very short time. I have a large fenced yard, but will crate or kennel pets while unsupervised for a very short amount of time. I spend a majority of my time at home with my own pets and hanging out in the yard.
“Michael was fantastic! The meet and greet went well. There was a phone call just before the stay where he asked detailed questions about how to best to take care of my dogs. I got photos of happy doggies during the visit. Everything was exactly as discussed and I couldn’t be happier! Will definitely contact Michael again when my doggies need quality, home care.”

About: We’ve had dogs for over 45 years. We’ve taken care of them in all stages of their lives. We’ve administered medications, trained puppies and tended to senior dogs. Our last dog passed recently, and we decided that rather than getting another dog right now we would help others. We know how hard it is to find good dog care when you go away. When we wanted to travel, the first question would always be: Who is going to take care of the animals? With us, you get quality dog care, and we get dog energy in our lives! We are both retired. When we take care of your pet, we can devote our time and energy to their care. We only care for one family’s pet at a time. We treat your pet like it is our own. If we are at your home, we will treat your home like we would our own.
“Amy was available at the last minute. She was able to work around her schedule to accommodate my request. She did a great job! My cat warmed up to her, which is no easy feat. I would use her again.”

About: With over 40 years of experience caring for animals, my love for pets is a lifelong devotion. I’ve shared my home and heart with dogs and cats throughout my life, and I’ve been a trusted pet sitter for friends, family, and neighbors. I have experience with animals of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments—including senior pets and those needing extra tenderness or special care. In addition to hands-on experience, I bring a calm, grounded presence and a deep sensitivity to the emotional needs of animals. I’m trained in energy healing and often incorporate gentle, calming energy into my care when appropriate—helping pets feel safe, seen, and loved while their humans are away. My approach is intuitive, attentive, and heart-centered. I treat each pet as the unique soul they are, and I feel truly honored to care for them. I work from home a lot and I have the freedom to be available and present full-time. I’m devoted to being with your pet providing all their needs. I prefer to provide care in the clients home but I can also bring your pet to my home. I have a big yard and a deck that is fenced. Pets will are welcome.
About: I have cared for many animals over the years horses dogs cats goats fish racoon turtle rabbits. I am an animal lover! And they love me also! Open to about any situation and any time. It is all negotiable. I am very flexible and easy going. I prefer ocean settings or very natural settings I do live in my van on a property. So I am mobile and love hiking and exploring the ocean and nature. And walking alot.
About: I was born and raised on a farm, so caring for animals has been second nature to me from a young age. Almost all pets I care for become return clients. Animals are my first love, and I treat every one of them as if they are my own. I work mostly during the day, but not long shifts so I can still be there for your fur babies. Feel free to reach out and see if I’m available even if it’s not on my calendar as available. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I treat every animal like my own ensuring they feel safe, seen, and loved while you’re away.
“Tomi stayed with our dog over the Christmas break and went above and beyond to care for the house and our dog! Tomi stayed with her during the fireworks on NYE to make sure she wasn't scared, administered meds, and communicated with us every day! Sent pics and was easy to reach. We'll for sure book with Tomi again!”

About: From having a pet dog, to dogsitting and catsitting countless times throughout my life, I’ve learned how to meet the needs of each animal- from puppies & kittens to the elderly of all different shapes and sizes! It’s important to me to make sure they’re getting enough love and care throughout the day. I believe taking care of a pet’s emotional needs is just as important as meeting them physically, so I do my best to make sure they’re staying happy and comfortable while they await the arrival of their parents later on :) My week availability is very open as I’m in between jobs, so I have a lot of free time to dedicate to pet lovin’ on Mondays-Fridays, especially between 9 am to 7 pm. I respect the space and property of others, so I do my best to take care of your pet in whatever way you see best fit, and in a way that respects the home I’m coming into.

My dog absolutely loved Amanda! She was more comfortable with her than with any stranger I’ve ever seen her meet, and it was such a relief knowing she felt safe and happy while we were gone. Animals truly seem to gravitate toward her, and she has such a natural, empathetic way with them. She even went out of her way to buy Honey a toy, which was so thoughtful and sweet. She sent tons of photos and updates, was very thorough, and took wonderful care of both Honey and our home. She even left the house cleaner than we left it. I couldn’t recommend her more and will definitely be booking with her again!

Colleen was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter. She was incredibly flexible with our schedule and consistently attentive, patient, and loving toward our pups. She truly went above and beyond by taking them on hikes, giving them plenty of walks, and making sure all of their individual needs were met so they stayed happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Her attention to detail really stood out, especially since she gave one of our dogs medication and made sure it was administered correctly. What also meant so much to us was her communication. Colleen provided daily check-ins and updates, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away from home. It was clear how much she genuinely cared about our dogs, and we felt completely confident knowing they were in such great hands. We would absolutely recommend Colleen to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and dedicated dog sitter, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!

Bryan did a wonderful job housesitting and watching over our two boys, including a cat who needs daily medications. He seemed to make our cats very comfortable and provided daily updates to ease our mind while traveling, and took great care of our house. Will definitely book him again!

Callista did a FABULOUS job taking care of our critters!! Returned home to happy kidz, a clean house and complete calmness ... sure signs of a very good weekend for everyone. Highly recommend Callista if you are very selective of who takes care of your loved ones while you are away ... she's the best! :)
