“Teresa was amazing with our dogs! She spent the weekend with them and they truly enjoyed spending time with her. She sent sweet updates and pictures of them too. Which was such a bonus!! We would definitely love for her to watch our dogs again in the future!”
“Denise took stellar care of our toy breed dog and elder cat while we were away for a short trip. When my little dog wasn’t confident at first, Denise patiently won him over. She sent lots of photos (always appreciated) and took excellent care of all house related items too. Thank you, Denise!”
About: I've been around various breeds of dogs for as long as I can remember. During my time volunteering at Paws and Prayers Animal Rescue, I've handled as little as the Chihuahua to as large as the Great Dane! I am currently working part-time, so my schedule is typically pretty open most of the time. I am always open to meet your pups! Big and small! I have handled pups both big and small! Whatever challenge your dog throws at me, I can take it! I am able to crate dogs when necessary.
“Emma was awesome! I booked her for house sitting to stay with my pup. She was on time and took my pup for multiple walks. She was very responsive and sent updates and photos. I haven’t left my pup alone in a while so it was a good feeling knowing she was in good hands!! 😊”
“Working with Nicole was a dream! Her communication was easy and clear and she cares for pets as if they are her own. I came home to a clean home and a happy pup! I’ll be sure to book with Nicole again next time I’m out of town 😁”
“Anna was terrific. She was contentious and asked all the right questions on our pre-call. I left knowing that the dogs were in good hands. I will definitely have Anna watch my two dogs again. I highly recommend Anna!”
“Alyssa was great! She stayed in our house with our dogs for a few days. Our one dog that can be shy and difficult ended up loving Alyssa! She shared pics of the dogs and kept in touch the whole time, which was very reassuring. She did a great job with the dogs, and was always pleasant to talk to! We will definitely be looking to have her help with our dogs in the future.”
“Jessi was fantastic with our puppy! She took great care of her, kept us updated throughout the visit, and sent adorable pictures that gave us peace of mind while we were away. I could tell our puppy was comfortable and well cared for. I’d absolutely trust Jessi to watch her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.”
About: It won’t let me change my profile but i currently do not live with any pets but dogs are my favorite pet ever. i’ve watched many many dogs in my life and it is always the best. I’m more than capable of loving and caring for your pet! I have had 3 dogs in my life and currently have two but i’m away at school. I’m in college currently but i have two dogs back at home. I’m obsessed with them and love them so much. I’ve also managed to train them very well. I’ll do whatever you need to make you feel comfortable with me taking care of your pets. I’m very understanding and will do my best to make your pet feel safe and loved.
About: I have rescued two senior, nine year old, brother dogs in 2019, and they are absolutely thriving. I have also taken in a sixteen year old cat from my grandfather, and I currently live with three disabled cats. I am currently working on selling some things online, which means my schedule is completely flexible and lets me go out and take care of what I need to do, including taking care of pets! I quadruple check that all doors are closed, that there is plenty of water and food available, checking for any messes or hazards like yarn, magnets, reachable food containers, and I ALWAYS use a leash when necessary.
About: I treat every pet like my own—with love, patience, and respect. What sets me apart is my experience with a wide range of pets, from high-energy puppies to sweet senior dogs who need a slower pace and extra care. I’m comfortable administering medication, handling dogs with special dietary or mobility needs, and maintaining consistent training routines if needed. Whether it’s a long walk, a quiet cuddle, or playtime in the yard, I tailor every visit to your pet’s needs. I also provide regular photo updates so you can feel connected and worry-free while you're away. Your pet’s happiness and safety are always my top priorities! I have recently decided to challenge myself to make a living from side hustles rather than a corporate job. This means I have plenty of time and availability for any of your needs! I care for your pets the same way I care for my own. At the end of the day, our pets are our babies! In your home, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and rest—keeping things familiar to reduce stress. I respect your space, follow all instructions carefully, and make sure your pet gets one-on-one attention and care.
About: I’ve had dogs growing up my whole life. I helped care for them, as well as my neighbors dogs when they were unable. I love cats too and currently live with one :) I am a college student with a pretty set schedule. I am able to provide availability a month in advance to help with any planning! I am happy to stop by and send lots of pictures. I am in nursing school so any accidents will be cleaned up no problem! Anything to make you more comfortable please let me know!
About: I have been around animals, exotic and domestic, since I was taken home in the carrier. Animals are my passion and there’s no animal that doesn’t need loved! I am a first responder with no set schedule, so I would like to spend my free time with animals and helping people out if they are needed. I couldn’t think of a better way to help out! I am very flexible on my off days and would be willing to go above and beyond for your pet. I understand some pets require certain things that may be different or difficult, but I would be absolutely willing to work through that! Walking dogs, doing litter boxes, playing fetch, and giving attention are all my specialties!
