“Kayci was so professional and communicated and sent pictures from every visit. She was very on time for every visit and gave us lots of details about how our pets were doing. She was also accommodating to what I felt was a relatively demanding schedule. I will definitely hire her again. Thanks Kayci!”


“Thanks so much Clarisse! Charlie enjoyed his drop-in visit and cuddles! Thanks again for taking the time to listen to my instructions for a comfy drop-in for you both! 🤗🐶 See you soon for another dog walk on Thursday!”


“Aimee was amazing! She took care of both our cats and even our very shy cat loved her. She is very communicative and is detail oriented. I will definitely book her again in the future.”


About: My love for animals began at birth, when I met our two family Labradors named Buster and Cody. Since then, it has only blossomed further and I love caring for dogs! I have run my own dog sitting business since 2010, taking care of dogs of all backgrounds, breeds, ages, and mannerisms. I can also provide positive reinforcement behavior training and pet transport for separate rates. Let me show the level of care and attention I can provide your pet with! I'm currently working part time and have lots of flexibility to care for your pets on your time! Same Day bookings are available for home visits and dog-walking. I'm available mornings, most of the afternoon, and all evenings. I am available for overnight stays at any time during the week! To ensure the safety of your pets, I will schedule preliminary meetings where I get to meet your fur babies and make sure all needs are accounted for. I also have a form for you to fill out, describing normal routines for each special animal such as feeding schedules, daily meditation, and any other special instructions to ensure their needs are meet! I will always be available for contact if you have any questions or concerns.

“Thank you so much! I really appreciate the detail and the pictures. The fact that LV even laid down was big. And yes Trix is a love bug. We would love to have you both in the future—and meet you! You both seem so great with dogs. Out of curiosity, and no big deal either way, were you able to clean the mess?”


“Nika is very kind and caring. She handled my wiggly puppy easily so I could put eye medication in her eye. My dog lived her and always gave her kisses. I had to make some time changer for her visit and she was flexible. I would recommend her for any pet needs. She was a delight to work with.”


About: I’ve been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. I raised my dog from a puppy during high school and she’s been by my side through college and beyond—now a happy, well-loved 10-year-old. Through the years, I’ve experienced every stage of a dog’s life, from potty training and teaching tricks to nail trims, baths, daily walks, and tailored play. As she’s aged, I’ve learned how to adjust care to meet her changing needs, and that’s helped me develop a thoughtful, compassionate approach for pets of all ages. Whether your pet is high-energy or in their golden years, I’m committed to giving them the love and attention they deserve. Right now, I’m on summer break from teaching, which gives me a very open and flexible schedule to focus on pet care throughout the day. During the school year, I’m available after 4 PM on most weekdays and have open availability on weekends. Whether it's summer or the school year, I always make time for animals—they’re a meaningful part of my life and routine. I currently don’t have any pets in my home, which allows me to provide focused, one-on-one attention to any pets staying with me. I’m also happy to care for pets in their own environment and always aim to follow each client’s specific routines and preferences. I understand how important it is for pets to feel comfortable and secure, and I respect that every animal has their own personality and needs. Whether in my home or yours, I provide care that’s consistent, compassionate, and tailored to your pet’s normal routine.

About: Avid foster mom, and dog-related charity volunteer. My experience with dogs spans decades, across many different sizes, breeds, and personalities. From my Cavalier King Charles, to my Pittie, to my gentle giant English Lab. I promise to give your dog the same excellent quality of care I've been providing to animals in need for the last 30+ years. I am the proud pet mom to three cats. An orange girl, a tabby, and a sweet siamese. My kitties' care is of the utmost importance. They get supervised outside time, enrichment activities, and homegrown catnip from my garden. My cats are beyond spoiled, and that's exactly how it should be. Through my services, your animal will receive top quality care. I promise to follow every instruction, no matter how silly, because you know your furry friend best. I will play with them, love on them, take them for long walks, and do whatever else they may need. Your animal will be safe, cared for, and happy under my watch.

“Jessica has done a great job checking in on my dog while I’m at work. She replies to messages promptly and she makes sure to take lots of pictures during her visits.”


About: I have always been around animals. I have 10 dogs at home and I babysit my family friends dogs and have trained a couple of animals in the past. My grandma also runs a dog rescue up the hill and I go up there all the time to help her with them. I am very careful with all animals and would protect your dog with my life. I currently am unemployed and watch my sister for my mom and she works Sunday through Wednesday so I would be a perfect fit if you need a quick weekend vacation. I have my own transportation and I have other family to help watch my sister if I am needed sometime earlier in the week. I care for all pets, I am a gentle and patient person. I have no issue with needy pets and I respect all boundaries of your house and your animal.

About: I’ve grown up with pets all my life. I’m known as the dog whisperer in my family. My friends have always relied on me to watch their babies! Always feel free to reach out with any questions. I have pets so it’s already an essential part of my daily routine to care for animals. I’m very organized and plan ahead to have enough time to get to them. I have doggies at home with a fence and lock that way no one can escape into the street. I have playtime with my dogs every two hours in the yard .

About: Though I myself have no dogs, I have looked after a friend's dogs on multiple occasions. As a cat owner, working with shyer dogs comes more naturally for me, as I'm used to using slow, non-threatening body language to communicate that I'm safe to be around. I also have experience caring for snakes. I always make sure their food is warm before feeding them. I'm currently on summer vacation and my pets are rarely alone, so I have plenty of time for pet care. I will soon start college, but will be a part-time student, so I'll still have lots of free time. From Monday through Thursday, I will have time for pet care in the morning and for Friday through Sunday, I'll have the whole day off. I'm always keeping a firm hold of the leash during walks to makes sure your dogs won't wander off and I carry waste bags with me to pick up after them. I also make a point to set reminders for myself ahead of time for feeding times.

“I really appreciate Kristyan. She is so patient even with one of my pups who doesn’t deal well with change. She follows direction to a tea, trust I’m a particular person and I like things a certain way and I can trust her follow through. She is now apart of the frenchie family”


“Soren was super nice and informative. She does know a lot about dogs. She was very patient with my Bella being anxious and did her best to help make her comfortable. She communicated throughout her visits. Would recommend and use again! Thanks!”



“Alyce dropped in to check on our four-month old puppy for a few days while we were at work. We felt extremely comfortable having her in our home to take care of our little guy. Updates were provided each day after her check-in. Would definitely recommend her!”

Marcy F.
“Marcy is the kind of woman you could trust to care for a mountain lion. She is responsible, level headed, resourceful, and a lover of animals to her core. Marcy watched my german shepard puppy (Maxine) while I was away for a work-related trip, and let me tell you, Maxine is not an easy dog. She came from a bad home, and has from major anxiety and behavioral issues from that. I trusted nobody but me and my fiance around her, so hiring help while I was away was scary..Until I met Marcy! Marcy and Maxine were instant besties, and Maxine received the best quality support while I was gone. I truly came home to a whole different dog. Marcy was exceptional and really helped Maxine become ok with strangers overall. I can not thank her enough for the amazing things she did for my little family. I am so grateful that we enlisted Marcy's help, you really should too!”

“Knowing Ann is knowing the love she has towards Dogs. I have known her for 13 years and she has always loved and cared for dogs. She has puppy sat for me in multiple occasions and my dogs love her! They forget I’m even there if Ann is over. Honestly the best Dogsitter anyone could ask for! She will always ask and make sure with the owner if they need anything specific to care for them.”

Jocelyne G.
“I can’t recommend Jocelyne enough for anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet caregiver. They are one of the most responsible, kind, and caring people I know. Whether it’s making sure a pet gets their favorite toy before bed or taking time for an extra long walk to get all those zoomies out , Jocelyne always goes the extra mile. What really sets them apart is how respectful they are not just to people, but to all animals too. They treat every pet like their own, always showing patience, understanding, and genuine affection. I would feel completely at ease leaving my own pets in their care, knowing they’re in safe and loving hands. If you're looking for someone dependable, gentle, and thoughtful to care for your dog, you won’t find anyone better than Jocelyne!”
