I always prioritize clear communication and will keep you updated throughout each visit. I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust, and I don’t take that lightly. I’ll always respect your home, carefully follow your pet’s routine and any special instructions, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

About: Hi! I’m Katy. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been an animal lover. I always brought the cats home from school with me and cared for my grandpa’s chickens as a kid. I have 6+ years experience of working in a vet ward caring for others animals. Our home knows no shortage of love as we have 14 cats, 10 chickens, and our dog. When you choose me, you can be certain you’ve chosen dependable, caring, protective, and proactive. I will always have your fur baby’s best interest in mind and will never hesitate to reach out if needed. I’m currently a home maker who spends most of her free time caring for her own animals. I’ve got more than enough love to share with your fur baby as well! When you hire me, you can expect quality care. Your dog/s will have plenty of time to stretch their legs. All animals will have a fresh, clean water and food bowl, and a clean space. You can expect the litter box to be cleaned and topped with fresh litter, scooped litter to be disposed of, and the floor around the litter box to be swept up.

“Heidi is great with both of our dogs and cat. I think our pup was better behaved when we returned home! I appreciate all the updates she provides and photos.”

About: I have recent hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and temperaments in professional settings. I also have a lifetime of experience as a dog and cat owner and lover! As a doggy daycare employee, I've safely managed groups of dogs in daycare, supervised structured play, monitored body language to prevent conflicts, and provided individualized care based on each dog's needs and personality. I also work as a dog handler for a professional goose management company, where I handle border collies in outdoor environments while maintaining focus, safety, and reliable leash skills around wildlife, distractions, and changing conditions. This work has strengthened my confidence handling energetic working dogs in public spaces. My experience includes: - Supervising group play and monitoring canine body language - Individual walks and exercise - Feeding, fresh water, and medication support with instructions - Cleaning kennels and maintaining a safe, sanitary environment - Crate rotations and rest breaks - Reinforcing good manners with positive interactions - Caring for puppies, senior dogs, and high-energy breeds I love every dog like it is my own and am ready to take care of your loved one when needed!

My professional experience in dog daycare has taught me to pay close attention to body language, energy levels, and individual personalities. Some dogs want to play nonstop, while others just want a calm companion and a good walk.

About: I am a Registered Veterinary Technician at a shelter I used to volunteer for, and have had my own dogs and cats my entire life. I’ve recently gone part-time and would enjoy walking your pets or stopping in for those needed potty breaks. I used to walk dogs for the shelter I now work at. I also foster animals for them, most dogs and puppies. I work at the shelter Thursdays and Fridays. I am available other days of the week on a part-time basis. I don’t have preferred days in mind at this time. I will certainly follow all instructions provided and will treat your pet as my own while in my care. I will respect and properly care for your home environment.

“WOW! Lindsey was amazing. More than amazing. Everything I could hope for in a sitter. Within 2 days she had my super shy girl sitting on her lap. This took my husband at least a year and a half to get to that point. She sent pictures showing the same shy girl playing with a wand without the other two cats butting in. They all loved her and from what I could tell, each kitty had equal play and loving. I came home to clean litter boxes, fresh water, happy cats, and a vacuumed house! She genuinely cared about my babies. I almost want to take trips just to have Lindsey come over and love on my cats ❣️”

About: Hi! I’m Jaelyn (aka Jae the Fur Nanny 🐾) I’m a full-time pet sitter, which means your fur baby gets 24/7 care, attention, and supervision while they’re with me. I’ve been caring for animals since I was 6 years old and have experience with dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles, and small animals. From energetic puppies to shy or sensitive pets, I take the time to understand each animal’s personality so they feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely at home. ✨ What you can expect with me: • Full-time care (I’m home most/all of the day) • Flexible routines based on your pet’s needs • Plenty of love, playtime, and attention • A calm, cozy environment where pets can relax • Consistent updates so you always know how your pet is doing I typically allow pets to free roam, but I also have crates available if that’s what your pet is used to or if you prefer it. My goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. 💗 My approach: I treat every pet like family. When your pet stays with me, they’re not just being watched—they’re being cared for, loved, and understood. I’m very responsive and easy to reach, and I’m always happy to answer questions or provide updates. Before booking, I’d love to know about: •Your pet’s personality •Any triggers or special needs •How they do around other animals This information helps me give them the best and safest experience possible ✨ I’m so grateful for the opportunity to care for your pet and would love to meet you both! 🐶💕 I am ALWAYS AVAILABLE 💞 I do this full time so your fur baby will have my care 24/7. I always try to be flexible & I am very easy to reach for the most part. I tend to allow them free range of the apartment but it is up to you as the parent on what you feel is best. If needed I have different crate sizes available if your fur baby feels more comfortable sleeping that way. Otherwise they are allowed to sleep wherever they please.

“Our dogs really liked Annabelle from the start, even one that is sometimes standoffish. She walked them several times and the house looked great when we got back.”

“Kirsten was marvelous! She was happy to meet the girls before we set up the house sitting - I wanted to make sure they weren't too rambunctious. Kirsten was great with them and my dogs were well taken care of while we were away. I will book with her again!”

Barb M.

“Gabrielle did a great job taking care of my old lab, Duke and our house while we were out of town. She contacted me regularly throughout the entire process of hiring her and while she was staying with my fur-baby. I highly recommend her and will call her back for future services if needed.”

About: Hi! I’m Lily, and caring for animals is genuinely one of my favorite things in life. I’ve had pets my whole life and have also worked at a doggy daycare, so I’m very comfortable handling dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I own dogs myself—they’re very docile and love having friends—so I understand how important it is to find someone you fully trust with your pets. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including anxious pups and dogs with special needs. One of my dogs is deaf and responds to sign, so I’m especially patient, attentive, and tuned in to nonverbal communication. Whether your pet needs high-energy playtime, structured walks, or just a calm and comforting presence, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll treat them like they’re my own—lots of love, attention, and updates so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. I’m reliable, communicative, and genuinely excited to meet your pets. I can’t wait to give them the care they deserve! I do work 730-330 M-F but my partner (Jeremy) is home by 2:30 PM every day, and we’re both home in the evenings, so your pet will have plenty of supervision, attention, and company. We make sure pets are never left alone for long periods and always prioritize their comfort and routine. I’m happy to work with your pet’s specific schedule and needs—just let me know what works best for them! Your pet’s safety is my top priority. We have a fully fenced-in backyard with turf, providing a clean and secure space for safe outdoor play and bathroom breaks. Inside, our home is pet-proofed to prevent access to anything unsafe, and we always supervise interactions to ensure a calm and controlled environment. I’m attentive to each dog’s behavior and needs, and I take introductions slowly to make sure everyone feels comfortable. You can trust that your pet will be in a safe, secure, and well-managed environment at all times.

About: I started pet sitting for friends in 2021 while covid precautions were still in place, and since then I've helped many friends whenever they were heading out of town for a while. I've always had a knack for getting along with cats, dogs, and other animals, even those who are shy or aggressive at first. Your pet's needs are my priority. I will review all of your provided instructions with you so that I may ask questions and make sure we're on the same page. And, if anything ever seems wrong, I'll make sure you know immediately so that you can make informed decisions regarding your pet's care. I believe every pet has a good heart - they just need the right care and attention to let that shine through! I work part time on a pretty flexible schedule, so I can always make time for your animal companions! I specialize in keeping pets comfy and cared for so that you can rest easy on vacation :) I pay close attention to and respect both behavior and body language - this keeps everyone safe, and allows me to inform you right away if something requires your attention.
