“I recently had the pleasure of entrusting Sera with the care of my beloved fur baby, Pixi, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Sera is an outstanding pet sitter who goes above and beyond to ensure the well-being and happiness of the animals in her care. From the moment I met Sera, I could tell she had a genuine love for pets. Her warm and friendly demeanor instantly put me at ease, and I knew Pixi would be in good hands. Sera took the time to ask detailed questions about Pixi's routine, dietary needs, and any special considerations, demonstrating her commitment to providing personalized care. Throughout Pixi's stay with Sera, I received regular updates, including photos and messages, which brought me immense comfort. It was clear that Sera was not only meeting Pixi's basic needs but also showering her with love and attention. Pixi looked happy and content in every picture, which was a testament to the nurturing environment Sera provided. Sera's professionalism and reliability were also exceptional. She was punctual for drop-off and pick-up, and she accommodated my schedule without any issues. Additionally, Sera maintained a clean and safe environment for Pixi, ensuring her health and well-being were top priorities. What truly sets Sera apart is her willingness to go the extra mile. She engaged Pixi in stimulating activities, including walks, playtime, and even some basic training exercises. Pixi came back home not only well-cared for but also with new skills and improved behavior, which was a pleasant surprise. I highly recommend Sera to anyone in need of a pet sitter. Her genuine love for animals, attention to detail, and exceptional care make her an outstanding choice. I am grateful to have found Sera and will undoubtedly entrust Pixi's care to her in the future. Thank you, Sera, for taking such wonderful care of Pixi!”

Our dogs absolutely loved her. She was very professional and flexible, and I appreciated her communication with me during her check ins. I would highly recommend her as a pet sitter and would be happy to have her sit for us again!”

“When we arrived after our five day trip, we encountered our two furbabies freshly woken from a nap, without a care in the world, as if they also had taken a vacation! Wordda made sure our boys were looked after and satisfied. Thank you for everything! <3”
11. Madison K.
About: I’ve had pets ever since I can remember. I currently have 2 dogs and 6 cats. I have experience with dogsitting, catsitting, and housesitting multiple times with multiple families. Currently I am in school and also work part time so I cannot take jobs where the animals need someone in the house 24/7. However when I am not at school/work I will be in the home with them and can stay the night if preferred. I also offer organizing and cleaning services during my stays for a little extra charge if wanted. Feel free to reach out with any questions! Looking forward to working with lovely families, thank you! :) I am available all days of the week. The only times I would be out of the house would be when I am at work/school. I have no issue with laying out my schedule for the time overlapping my pet sitting with the owners. Sleeping overnight at the home is no issue for me, and can be done if the family prefers it. I can follow any set rules for caring for pets, just write them down on a paper and leave it in view or text me instructions. I have had dogs I pet sit for sleep in bed with me, and also have had to crate others. Either way I am willing to do as the owner asks. I have no issue taking dogs for walks or just letting them run the yard. I have given animals medication and followed strict diets as well so no stress if your pet needs extra help in those areas!
12. Ryan H.
About: I'm an animal lover, dogs especially. I have two dogs at home, who are my kids, a golden retriever named Cal, and a puggle named Sadie. I also volunteer, walking dogs, at the Animal Welfare Society of Jefferson County. Spending time with the dogs and taking them for walks makes a difference in each of these dogs' lives. I like to think with each walk they become a little more adoptable. I love to work with dogs and to improve their overall health by taking taking them for walks. I'm extremely patient and empathetic. I'm also a very active person so I can't think of a more perfect fit. I will always treat your dog(s) as if they were my own. Thanks for reading a little bit about me!

14. Amber C.
About: I can’t remember a time in my life where I didn’t have an animal companion. Ive taken care of and have owned many dogs, cats, chickens, and many others. I am a reliable care giver that is always happy to spend time with a fuzzy friend. I work from home. I have an hour lunch break during the day that is perfect for checking on a pet. I am also available before 8:00am and after 5:00pm I do not have a fenced in yard but I do have many trails and a dog park near my house for lots of playtime. If you would like me to come to your home I am happy to follow your furry friends routine :)

16. Amanda S.
About: Hello, my name is Amanda! I currently am the mama of a 5 year old human. I also have a senior cat, snake, and a 7 year old, 75lb lab mix who I’ve trained and raised from 5 weeks old. I’ve lived with dogs and cats my entire life, dogs ranging in size from 15lbs to 110 lbs. I primarily have experience in taking care of and walking larger dogs. I’ve worked with dogs and cats alike with all different kinds of personalities and fears. If your dog has a hard time with leashes, don’t worry! I’ve helped leash train multiple large dogs (my own and others). I am a dog-walker, but I provide other services as well. I’m extremely flexible with my schedule, only unavailable during my part-time barista job and non-school hours on weekdays. Message me and I’m sure we can find a schedule that works! I’m eager to meet new clients as a fun “side-hustle” to provide a secondary income for my son and I. I hope I get the opportunity to meet and care for your pup (or pups). I’m currently working part-time at a coffeeshop, but my schedule varies by week. I’m usually available between 9am-3pm on weekdays and after 2pm on weekends. Message me to find a schedule that works for us! Finding someone (especially a stranger online) to watch or walk your pet can be scary, but I hope I can earn you and your pet’s trust quickly. I have walked strong dogs who pull, dogs who are nervous around other dogs and growl, and dogs on a diet who just don’t want to walk to begin with (even if it takes a couple treats to get them going).
17. Jessica B.
About: I have been walking/ taking care of dogs for many years. I have walked old dogs, young dogs, big and small. I have done transports and done overnights. I enjoy engaging the dogs in playing fetch or even just sitting on the couch and giving belly rubs. I am involved in my visits, I will feed the dogs and clean up backyard and house messes of any pet accidents that may have occurred. I will give treats and simple commands as the owners request. I will give frequent updates and pictures as requested and take good care of your pets while your are gone. i look forward to taking care of your four legged friends and you entrusting me to take good care of them.

20. Breanne S.
“Bre did an awesome job watching our puppy and kitty.. They were so happy when we got home. She took Peanut on nice walks and Loki was super happy. We would love to have her watch them again int e future.”
