“Olivia watched our little frenchie this past weekend and she took such good care of her! She sent us pictures every day and we could tell she was in good hands and having a great time with her. I highly recommend booking with Olivia and will definitely be reaching out to her again for future needs!”

“Terri did a fantastic job with our boys! From meeting them before our booking to making sure she gave excellent care throughout the night while we were away.”

Katelyn H.

“Sue did a great job with a houseful of critters: 3 cats and a dog. She walked and snuggled with our needy pit bull, fed the cats and stuck to everyone’s schedule while we were away overnight. She texted when she had questions, sent pictures and was very responsive. We appreciated having a responsible adult in the house and would use her again.”

Dana S.

“Danielle was great! She kept me posted on how my girls were doing, and didn’t hesitate to reach out with questions during her stay. I will definitely reach out to her for future care!”

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of pets ever since I was little, I’ve lived with at least one pet almost my whole life. Because of this, I am able to recognize body language in pets with relative ease, and how to react based on what signals they’re sending. Most of my experience comes from dogs, but I also have plenty of experience playing with and taking care of cats, bunnies, chickens, turtles, and more! I have lots of energy, patience, and love to give any little (or big) creatures that cross my path! My current work schedule is extremely flexible, and I’m working part time, so I will have plenty of time to take care of your pets any time throughout the entire week! I can frequently stop by since my job keeps me on the move and spend loads of time with them before and after my shifts! Both of my own dogs are trained with an invisible fence. I have a pretty big yard so they don’t need to go on walks super frequently, but I still like to take them out every once in a while. I feed the dogs twice a day (once in the morning and once at night), but I take it by a day by day basis as sometimes they have leftover food, etc. I usually spend at least an hour or so of my day specifically playing with my dogs, but I understand that your pets will most likely have different play wants/needs. I am always down to cuddle and give lots of pets and belly rubs, but I would never force your pets to if they aren’t interested.

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all kinds from rescues, seniors, puppies, and everything in between. I also have experience caring for cats and some smaller animals and reptiles. Feel free to ask me about your other pets and I’ll let you know honestly if I am able to provide care. I'd be a great fit if you're a detail-oriented or slightly worried/anxious pet parent who wants their routine followed to the letter, frequent updates, and someone who treats your home and family members with love and respect. Getting a routine right matters a lot to me. I ask lots of questions upfront and pay close attention to the small stuff: think feeding times, meds, favorite routes, comfort items, quirks, fears, or behaviors, because those details are what make a dog feel secure. I'd rather over-communicate than guess. I lived with and cared for a reactive dog for 13 years, so I know firsthand what it takes to help an anxious dog feel safe, and how to prevent conflict in the first place. All my dogs have been rescues, and I have a soft spot for dogs who need extra patience to warm up. I'm not a certified trainer, but I've spent years learning dog training, body language, and enrichment, and every interaction is rooted in positive reinforcement. I will require a meet and greet with your pet in advance of the first booking so they can become familiar with me, and so I can become familiar with their routine and needs. My schedule gives me plenty of flexibility to be present for your dog, whether that's extra walks, playtime, or just being around for company, and I'm happy to talk through what kind of availability works best for your pet! I work from home which allows me the flexibility to prioritize pet care in a way I wouldn’t be able to with a traditional office. This gives me the ability to keep anxious dogs company, breaks for play time, medication, cuddles or walks when they are needed, not when they can be fit in. I create a calm, secure environment where pets feel safe and comfortable. Whether in my home or theirs, I work on building trust by moving at each pet’s pace and honoring their boundaries. Safety is always my top priority, I supervise pets closely, follow all instructions carefully, and adapt to their unique needs. I keep spaces clean, hazard-free, and ensure pets have fresh water, proper food, and quiet resting spots. For reactive or anxious pets, I use gentle, low stress handling & positive reinforcement or redirecting to help them feel calm and supported. Every care plan is tailored specifically to your pet’s needs after we discuss what works best for them.

“Dana was terrific! We were in town to catch a baseball game and needed a sitter for our 9 week-old pup, Chester. She was available on very short notice. She immediately put us at ease: Chester loves her! She updated us throughout their visit. She even gave us useful advice about miniature schnauzer nutrition and separation anxiety—she has mini schnauzers of her own. We couldn’t have been any happier, and we look forward to booking Dana the next time we’re in town.”

About: I have experience with cats, Dogs, birds, and even pet rats! I treat every animal as if it were my own and love on all with my whole heart. I work full time. My days vary and I have every other weekend off. However, I can make adjustments as needed to fit your schedule to the best of my ability. I own my own home. I do not have a fenced in yard but am open to taking to parks or whatnot. I do also have a gated front porch. Requests of pictures and/or videos are welcome. Pets would also have free roam of the whole house as well.

About: I don’t have professional experience, but I have had dogs as pets within my circle of friends and family most of my life. I’ve experienced caring for small and big dogs, as well as caring for dogs of all ages. As a passionate animal lover, your pets will be in good hands with me. I currently work part-time as a server. This gives me plenty of time during the day throughout the week to play with and take care of your fur babies! I’m a big animal lover and looking to fill more of my time by doing something I’ll love. I will take care of your pets with TLC in your home environment and during our walks together. Their safety and care is of utmost importance to me. Just let me know any specifics you need from me to help make your pet(s) feel loved and secure.

“Maddy did an exceptional job watching Cinnapop! She was very professional, worked during our meet & greets to make sure Cinnapop liked her, and was great at keeping me updated while we where away! She left the house in great condition when we got back, and Cinnapop got along so well with her that she actually started looking for Maddy at the door the day after we returned!”

“Christina was amazing with my dog this past weekend! She was good at communicating and sent some pictures, it was very helpful and a relief to know that someone was there to pay just as much attention and care as I would while I was gone. Thanks again!!”

Katie D.

“We hired Megan for a nine night in-home dogsitting job. She truly went above and beyond and we came home to find our pups safe and well cared for. She took it upon herself to create handmade gifts for both dogs and my two children just because that’s the kind of person she is. Would highly recommend and we would be thrilled to re-book in the future!”

Kelly C.

“Would definitely recommend, she did everything we asked and took very good care of our dog, also very good with communication! 10/10”

“Bea did an exceptional job housesitting and taking care of our pups while we were on vacation! She was kind, dependable, and communicative. We felt a sense of relief knowing that our dogs could be comfortable in their normal home environment and well-cared for while we were away.”

About: Dogs and cats have always been a big part of my life, offering comfort through tough times. I genuinely love being around animals and caring for them. (I allow animals on my bed I’m not sure how to change that ) I have classes, but your fur baby will always be my top priority. I’m home every evening to care for them, except Fridays when I’m working on the ambulance. Walking, feeding, watering, bathing and getting all their zoomies out. I enjoy walking and physical activity meaning they will be tired out by the end of the night.
