About: I have been pet-sitting for my neighbors, boss, and co-workers since 2010. While I occasionally board pets in my home, I usually provide pet/house-sitting in the customer's home. I walk/feed/brush dogs, administer oral medication if indicated, and spend time playing with them. I also take in mail, water plants, and take out trash/recycling. I am a newly retired teacher, so I am now available full time for all of your pet care needs any time 7 days a week. If I am providing care in my home, I can offer to take dogs for a walk in a nearby state park. I try to keep the pets' feeding and walking schedules consistent with that of the owners.
“Grayson was so helpful when my husband was away and I started a new job meaning I was gone for longer than usual! She helped take our dogs on a walk for about two months for five days a week. She treated my dogs well and communicated with me even when needs changed! She was great with the dogs and very trusting. If we need someone in the future, we will book her again as I knew I didn't have to worry about the pups!”
“Helaina was great! She responded quickly and helped accommodate me last minute. The dogs instantly loved her. Will definitely be using her again:)”
About: Caring for animals has always come naturally to me. For over five years, I’ve provided reliable pet care for dogs and cats, from daily walks to overnight stays. I’m experienced with all ages and temperaments, including senior pets and those with anxiety. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe and loved Currently i work a full time job M-F 8-4pm. Open to pet sitting after work. Available all day on weekends. In August I will be starting law school and my schedule will open up to Fridays/Saturdays- Sundays all day I can accommodate pets who prefer alone time or need crating, and I follow any specific routines or instructions to make your pet feel at home. Cleanliness, comfort, and supervision are always a top priority.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for well over 10 years. I myself have a 7 year old and 3 year old dogs, and a 18 month old cat and a 4 month old kitten. Since we’ve had each of our pets since infancy, I’m well versed in the adorable yet tricky stages of pet care like puppy &kitten-hood. I can also care well for senior dogs, just like we loved our 16 year old rescue til she crossed the rainbow bridge two years ago. I’ll be working full time later this summer, but I’m looking to fill my days with your pets until then! I’m unavailable most Sunday mornings, but may be able to make arrangements if necessary. I am happy to keep your dog on a leash, in a fenced in area, or in a crate for your peace of mind at your request. I absolutely love dogs, and would make a fantastic guardian for your older dog, young puppy, dog with separation anxiety, or your family pup that you just cant bring on vacation. I also adore cats. I know each one has such a special personality, and I’d be happy to snuggle & play with them on the couch or let them lounge and entertain themselves, watching from afar. I’ve experienced the anxiety of being away from them, so I’m glad to send you pictures or texts to help you feel comfortable while apart. I look forward to getting to know your pawfect family member!

Rai D.
“I have never been away from my dog, Bubba, for more than 3 hours and when I met Raisa through a friend, it was like all of my worries were lifted off my shoulders. Raisa took care of Bubba for a 3 whole consecutive days until I came home for bedtime. She walked him three times a day, fed them, played with him (sometimes at dog parks), and kept up with his in-home potty training. It was a lot of responsibility for someone’s first time with my dog and she did an amazing job.”
