About: I’ve had dogs since I was a kid and is something I just love. Whenever I go to see a friend who owns a dog, I spend more time with the dog often times! I don’t have any of my own at the moment since my partner has allergies, but being there to dog sit will allow me to spread that love and care with them. I have watched many of my friends dogs overnight or just for the day due to my hybrid schedule - which is wonderful! I work a hybrid role - so I might be able to offer walks during the day on some days of the week. But weekends work best for me to stay over and dog sit (for those traveling or don’t want their dog in someone else’s home). This will help build trust and love with the little ones, while keeping them in the comfort of their own home. I always want to ask, what are the do’s and dont’s since every dog is different. I want to make sure they are able to relax and enjoy the company as much as I would. If I’m able to stay at the sitters home, I will routinely send updates or photos (as desired) and give them peace of mind to know that they’re little ones are safe with me. I absolutely adore dogs and I want to make them as loved as they deserve. If I take them for walks, recap anything that they did to report back to the owner as well.
“Kat was wonderful. She loved on our dogs and treated them as her own. She is trustworthy and kept our home clean! She communicated and sent photos of our pups everyday. I hope to have her back. Our pups loved her.”
“Jenniffer was amazing with our little Frenchie!!! She arrived early, stayed late, and helped with feeding and medication. Her enthusiasm and communication are exceptional! We can't say enough kind words and appreciation for her.”
“Gary is amazing! He has been our cat sitter for a while now and just stayed at our house for the first time, for a week. He takes amazing care of our cats, we never need to worry about them when he’s watching them.”
About: With over 12 years of hands on experience, I’ve cared for pets of all ages and personalities, from playful puppies to senior dogs who require extra patience and gentle care. Friends, family, and neighbors have always trusted me to handle everything from daily walks and feedings to medication and overnight stays. What sets me apart is the way I treat every pet as if they were my own: with love, attentiveness, and respect for their unique needs. Whether it’s keeping up with high energy pups, providing comfort to older companions, or following a specialized routine, I make sure your fur baby feels safe, happy, and truly cared for. As a stay at home wife, pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. I’ve been doing this part time for years, even though this is my first time offering services on this platform. I love the flexibility it gives me to work around your schedule and focus on your pet’s needs. Because of this, I can dedicate the time and attention your pet deserves - from long walks and play sessions to mid-day check-ins and cuddles. You’ll never have to worry if your pet is getting enough exercise, love, or attention while you’re away. My priority is to keep pets happy and comfortable in the environment they know best — their own home. I carefully follow your instructions to maintain consistency, whether that means sticking to a strict feeding schedule, administering medications, or honoring your pet’s favorite routines. I’m attentive to every detail and treat your home with the same respect as I do your pet. You can expect regular updates, plenty of photos, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing your furry family member is safe, loved, and in the hands of someone you can trust.
About: As a lifelong dog lover, I understand that every pup has their own personality, energy level, and routine. I take the time to get to know each dog, so they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable, punctual, and attentive - whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just companionship, I make sure every visit is tailored to your dog’s needs. My goal is simple: to treat your dog like part of my own family, giving them the care, attention, and affection they deserve. I work 8–5, but evenings, weekends, and overnight stays are all about your pets! Walks, playtime, meals, and cuddles - I give them love and attention like they’re part of my own family. 🐾 I care for pets in their own home by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in the environment they know best. I follow their usual routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest, and provide plenty of attention, cuddles, and reassurance. I also keep the home tidy and secure, and send photo updates so you know your pet is happy and well-cared for while you’re away.
“Susana was nice and prompt. She showed up to all Aurue on time and mostly listened to my direction however, I think there was a bit of a language barrier, and we had complications around communication several times. At one point there was some serious confusion that caused me a lot of stress. I appreciate her helping to take care of Aurie, but unfortunately due to Aurie being so young and the communication barriers we encountered, I don’t think she was the best fit for us.”
“This was the longest we’ve been away and Leslie was the comfort we needed to stay in our home and take care of our girl. She sent tons of pics, communicated often with questions or clarifications, and helped us enjoy our vacation. Thank you and I would highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of every size and breed since I was 10 years old. My love for dogs began young. I read every book I could find about breeds, training, and behavior. Over the years, I’ve worked at animal shelters, dog boarding facilities, and even as a vet tech assistant. I’ve raised German Shepherds, Australian Shepherds, Huskies, and Dachshunds, giving me experience with dogs of all ages, breeds, and sizes. I currently share my home with my three dogs: River, Lumi, and Kenu. I recently lost my soul dog, Akela, to lung cancer after eight years together. I quit my full-time job to care for her through every stage of her illness. That experience taught me unmatched patience, love, and dedication. These are the same qualities I bring to every dog I care for. Akela required very specialized care, so I understand how important it is to meet each pet’s individual needs. Dogs aren’t just pets to me; they’re family, and I treat them as such. I’m home full-time now, so your pets will never be alone for long. I dedicate my entire day to spending time with my animals. This is truly my life, not just a side job. I’m available for boarding, walks, drop-ins, or daycare most days of the week and weekends, with flexible scheduling to fit your needs. Your dog will be in loving, capable hands every moment they’re here. I have a large fenced yard and three friendly, well-socialized dogs who love to make new friends. If preferred, I can host your dog solo for a quieter stay. My home is designed around dog safety, comfort, plenty of toys, cozy rest areas, and outdoor playtime. My yard includes a small plastic pool for pups to splash around and cool off in on warm days and lots of toys. I’ll follow your instructions exactly and make sure every meal, medication, or routine matches what your pet is used to. If requested, I also offer baths for an additional fee, so your pup can go home smelling fresh and clean after their stay. My goal is simple: to make your dog feel as loved and secure as they do at home.
“Nicole was beyond wonderful! I have a 16 year old Husky who needs a lot of assistance and care, and Nicole went above and beyond for her. Her communication throughout the stay was unmatched by any other person to have ever watched my dogs. She was also very respectful of my apartment. 10/10. Thank you Nicole!!”
“Josh did a great job with Millie. He was patient and attentive to her needs and she really warmed up to him. He was respectful and professional in my home and he will be my "go-to" when I need someone to house sit with my dog. Very nice and easy to work with and an excellent communicator. I wholeheartedly recommend him without any hesitation.”

Jessica was awesome with our boys (1 puppy and 1 senior)! She gave great updates and really made sure they were happy and cared for. You can tell she genuinely loves animals. It was such a comfort knowing they were in good hands when I’m not home. Highly recommend!

Genesis took great care of my two lil babies. One of my dogs has allergies & needs daily medication and she did a great job taking care of everything while I was out of town. Also kept me updated throughout the day with pictures and videos. Definitely will book again!
Darius was amazing he made an incredible connection with both dogs for 1 week of in house dog sitting He stayed in touch via text and photos which rally made us feel comforted and good He was always on time and thoughtful and diligent with the care of our pups especially they their 4th of July fireworks anxiety! we would absolutely recommend Darius and plan to use him again for our next trip Thanks Darius!
Shannon was a wonderful sitter for our two doggos and our senior cat. Shannon was very mindful and attentive to our diabetic dog’s diet and medicines and she gave her insulin injections twice a day. We received many updates and photos of the fur babies and felt relief knowing that they were in loving and caring hands. On the day we came back, Shannon even volunteered to stay later with the pups due to the thunderstorm (knowing they were going to be scared). Our house was in immaculate shape and more importantly our pets seemed to really like being with her! We will book Shannon again for our next trip!!
Rayna was absolutely wonderful! From the very beginning, she was easy to communicate with and made me feel completely at ease leaving my pets in her care. She did a fantastic job keeping me updated on how my dog and cat were doing, sending lots of detailed messages and tons of adorable pictures throughout her stay. It was so comforting to know they were in such good hands while I was away. Rayna is professional, reliable, and clearly loves animals. I’ll definitely be using her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter!
