About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have seen them in every stage of life. I love spending time with them, and I have cared for puppies of all ages, sizes and breeds. I have also pet sit for multiple different clients. I have basic pet first aid skills, and your pets safety and happiness will always be my top priority. I am currently working part-time. Please reach out for my hours and we can arrange something that works for both of us. I can’t wait to meet your pup! The pet being comfortable, safe, and well-cared for is my top priority. I am familiar with dogs of all different needs and energy levels, and will customize my care to ensure that they are happy and healthy. As of right now, I am not offering boarding services.

About: I grew up in a family full of pet lovers and have been taking care of animals from a young age. I will play, snuggle and meet all of your pets needs while you are away. I will give your pet all the love and care they deserve! I currently work from home full time but have a flexible work schedule that allows me to be accommodating to different schedule. I am also free in the evenings and most weekends. I can feed, walk, crate, play and hangout with your pet as needed. I’m not afraid to clean up any messes or accidents while I am there either.

About: Growing up on a farm means I have an abundance of experience with animals of all shapes and sizes. This experience has only grown thanks to the 1000+ hours spent caring for a great variety of animals thanks to my preparation for and training in veterinary school. I have worked in several veterinary clinics, a couple of shelter settings, and a commercial aviary. This means I am incredibly comfortable caring for all kinds of pets of any age, as well administering medications and keeping up with unique needs. Much of my love for veterinary medicine comes from the opportunity to bond with people and their pets, and providing pet care is another amazing chance to do just that. I would love to serve you and your four-legged family! Being a student allows for a very flexible schedule, perfect for attentive and personalized pet care! Much of my course work can be done online, so I am often free to hang out with your furry friends while I study throughout the day. I try to build my schedule where I don't need to leave pets alone longer than 6 hours maximum, and I am willing to adjust according to your pet's needs. I take great care to keep your pet's routine as similar as possible to their normal to minimize stress. I love to schedule a meet & greet beforehand to get to know you and your pet, and get to know all the details of their routine. I know what questions to ask to make the process as enjoyable and stress free as possible. I also know how nice it is to come back to a clean home. Therefore, when staying in a client's home I take great care to leave everything exactly as it was or better. That way you can relax knowing your pets are well taken care of, and you have nothing to worry about when you return.

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for dogs and the care I bring to every interaction. I’ve taken care of my own dog for 9 years, so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and affection. While I’m newer to pet sitting, I bring a thoughtful, responsible approach and treat every dog like they’re my own—whether it’s helping with a playful puppy or giving extra attention to a senior pup. I’m currently a teacher on summer break, which gives me a flexible weekday schedule. I’m available throughout the day for walks or check-ins and would love to spend time caring for your pets while you’re away! I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow their routine closely—whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or medication—and give them plenty of attention and affection. Whether in my home or yours, I treat each pet like family and aim to make the experience stress-free for both them and you.

About: I’ve been dog sitting for friends and family as long as I can remember. I love all animals and enjoy spending time with them. I’ve looked after every type of animal and every age. I graduated college with a degree in Biology and a specialization in animal behavior. I’d love to spend time getting to know your pet. I’m currently taking care of my mother and am available any day and any time to take care of your dog. I’d love to meet your scheduling needs. I am happy to provide any sort of exercise and enrichment your dog needs. Whether your dog prefers to visit a park and run around, toss a ball, long walks, or get their daily pets and cuddle time in. I’m happy to to whatever makes your pets and you happiest.

“Rachel does a great job walking our dog each day at lunchtime. He is quite energetic and can be impulsive on leash. I appreciate her patience and the daily reports and pics. Gives me peace of mind that he is well cared for and getting exercise during the day.”


About: I’ve dog-sat (and house-sat) for friends for a while, and nothing brings me more joy than seeing happy dogs! I love taking them for long walks or runs, spending the day playing with them, and of course giving them plenty of hugs and pets! ❤️🐶 I’m currently working full-time, so during the week I’m available to go on short walks during lunch and make sure your dog is fed and can use the bathroom. I can spend time with them in the evenings as well, and I’m also available for house sitting to keep them company while you’re away! I don’t have any pets of my own at home, but I’ve had plenty of experience caring for pets of friends and family members. I like taking them for walks through neighborhoods or parks where they can meet other dogs or people and see new places!

About: Hello! I’m April — a proud dog mom and lifelong animal lover! I’m lucky to share my home with six amazing pups ranging in age from 5 months to 11 years. With over a decade of hands-on experience and a heart full of love for dogs of all kinds, I bring confidence, care, and compassion to every pup I meet. Thanks to my supportive husband and older kids, I’m able to dedicate my full attention to the dogs I care for, knowing mine are in great hands at home. I also volunteer with a local rescue group and have fostered over 35 dogs — from tiny breeds to gentle giants — all in my home. I truly love every dog I meet. I’m that person at the party hanging out with the family dog, and yes, I even have a leg sleeve tattoo of my dogs’ paw prints! Most of my wardrobe is dog-themed — being dog-obsessed is simply part of my personality. Your pet isn’t just a guest — they’re family. I’d love to meet you and your furry friend to see if we’re a great match! I work full-time, Monday through Friday, with hours that vary depending on my meetings. My position isn’t remote, so I do commute into the office during the day. That said, I make it a priority to spend meaningful, quality time with your pups whenever I’m with them! When I’m with them, they’re treated just like my own — with lots of love, attention, and care. I also understand how important clear communication and consistency are when you're away. My goal is always to give you peace of mind — and your pets all the love they deserve. Building trust and creating a safe, comforting environment is always my top priority. I take time to understand each dog’s personality and needs, which helps them feel secure, respected, and truly cared for. Earning their trust helps ensure they feel safe, secure, and truly happy throughout our time together.

About: I have always taken care of my own pets and have pet-sat for years, for both dogs and cats. I enjoy walking dogs and caring for them. I am looking for a part-time flexible job that will fit into my current schedule. I am available with notice and can be available early or late. I will only take care of pets in your home. I currently have a dog and 5 cats and could not upset their balance. I enjoy walking with the dogs and playing fetch. I also enjoy down time just talking with them and petting them.

About: Current dog mom to three little cuties and foster mom to many. I foster through a local Rescue and love giving all the dogs all the love and attention that they deserve. I have experience with dogs with different temperaments and personalities. I am available most weekdays and weekends to play, walk and love on your pet. I am available for drop in visits and walking during the week. I have my three friendly loving dogs that love to run and play. I feel it’s always best to go with what the pet is used to and follow their routines.

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes! My grandmother ran a pet sitting and dog training business, and I accompanied her from a young age. In addition, my family has always had boxer and pitbull mixes, so large dogs are no fret for me. I find taking care of animals very fulfilling in my free time. You can trust that I will be there to take care of your pet if I confirm your booking. Safety is my top priority and it’s my goal to make you feel at ease having someone take care of your pet(s). You can rely on me to keep your pet and your home safe.

About: I grew up with both cats and dogs as well as living with both in my adult years. I do also have experience pet/house sitting in the past. I currently do not have a pet at the moment as my cat passed about a year ago. I am looking forward to be able to meet and get to play with cats and dogs! I do work full-time during the week but am available on the weekends for house-sitting, drop-in visits, or dog walking. I will open up availability for walking or drop-in visits during the evenings throughout the week. I will be able to watch your pets in your home as well as do drop-in visits in your home. This will include doing walks or playing.

About: I may be no veterinarian, but I have had the opportunity to take care of a family friends dog(s) multiple times. Which includes walking, playing, feeding and giving love. I have dealt with animals that needed medical treatment as far as just the general giving them their pills. Every so often, with the owners knowledge, I like to take the dog(s) to a dog park for a few hours. For my house sitting services, I do general cleaning around the house; vacuuming, moping, dusting, etc. I do want to disclose that I do have a full time job that I work the whole week. Most days it would be at least 7 1/2 hours and a couple days will be at least 4 1/2 hours. I have two jobs at the moment. I work at a doggy daycare at least 6 days out of the week where of the shifts are 7 1/2 hour and others are just 4 1/2 hours. I also work at assisted stretching studio a couple times a week and hours vary between 4-7 hours (I sometimes can leave a little early). I tend to the dogs needs with instructions the owners have provided. If they need medical attention, I do my best to provide them with love when proforming medical treatments.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life. My current babies are Sugar who we just adopted & Miss Louisa who I’ve had for 13 years now! I have watched 2-5 cats at a time for 4 different households and up to 2 dogs at a time for 6 different households. I love seeing them and providing purrfect care! I will make sure not only your babies are safe, but your home and houseplants as well. I also have experience administering oral medications. I love sending picture and video updates on how your babies are doing 😊 I do personal shopping through Shipt, so my schedule is very flexible. I can stop by to check on, walk and feed your furbabies according to their normal routine 😁 We are already sad we can’t bring our babies with us, but I will always make sure they feel safe and cared for. When providing house sitting I can take in your mail/packages and am diligent with locking your home before leaving. I will always adhere to your animals schedule so you can be worry free on your trip :)

About: I worked as a veterinary technician for 2 years. My mom is a veterinarian so I grew up with plenty of critters to care for! I have done all of my dog Akira’s training and she is a working breed so I have a vast understanding of dog behavior and tons of patience. I am currently a part time student due to the veterinary practice I was working for went out of business. I love working with animals and want to continue that. I do have a fenced in yard. I love taking my dog to the nearby park with a 50 foot leash to change up the scenery as well. I have plenty of space to have the dogs run around and it’s all puppy proofed! (My dog is a chewer)

Elizabeth A.
“At a certain level, I can hire anybody to dog sit--how hard is it to walk or feed a dog. But my two girls--a Chihuahua mix and a Shiba Inu--are little lovers with big personalities who love--and structure (you know what I'm talking about O' Fellow Shiba Inu Owners!). Beth goes out of her way to make sure that they get all the attention that they need when Mom is out of town. I'm happy when they are happy and Beth makes sure my girls are happy. If you want your dogs to be happy, I recommend you hire Beth.”


Allana K.
“Allana has watched our three cats over the past several years. She is super responsible, caring and will make sure your fur babies are happy. Allana goes the extra mile by sending us pictures and checking in with us to let us know how the cats are doing. Allana has watched our cats from over night up to a nine day trip. I would not trust my babies with anyone else!”


Jacey T.
“Jacey is the most passionate person i’ve ever met when it comes to dogs and their behavior/training. It really could apply for all pets but i’ve found that’s just what makes her tick. Training and keeping pets as happy as she possibly can, giving them everything they need and more. Not only with her personal pets, but treats other pets owners little baby’s as her own! :)”
