“Hope was great! She took very good care of my cat while I was out of the country for a week. She sent lots of pictures and kept me updated on everything. Will definitely ask her for help again in the future.”

About: I love caring for all types of dogs. I have experience with large, medium and small, dog sitting for family, friends and neighbors. I enjoy walking, playing, and spending quality time with each dog while being attentive to their daily routines. I create a calm, positive experience and ensure every dog receives the activity, structure, and companionship they need. I am semi-retired and have a flexible schedule, having the ability to work around your pet's weekday and/or weekend schedule. I can simply drop in for feedings, or stay and play. I have experience administering medicine as well. I provide care in your home so your pet can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I carefully follow all instructions for feeding, medications, and daily care, and I pay close attention to behavior and well-being. I keep your home secure during each visit and always ensure doors, gates, and entry points are safely closed. My goal is to give you peace of mind and your pet a calm, safe experience while you’re away.
“Brittany was amazing! Our pup is a little high maintenance, and Brittany came through with flying colors. We would 100% recommend Brittany, as she will adapt to your dog's needs. She will do everything to make both you & your pup feel safe and provide timely updates.”
“This was my first time leaving my dog home while going on vacation. I was nervous because he's 16 years old and I've never used a dog sitter before. But Guadalupe was great. She was very sweet with my dog, Motley, during the meet & greet. I could tell he was comfortable with her. She walked me through how to use the Rover app and was very accommodating, pleasant, and flexible with the holiday. She communicated well and I appreciated the text and photo updates. The house was exactly as I left it when I got back and I could tell my little guy was well cared for. Thank you, Guadalupe!”
“Barb is a dream come true! She’s my go to walker for Josephine and she’s come to walk her last minute when we had a family emergency. You can’t go wrong with Barbara!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was probably around ten years old. Making sure they are fed, played with, and petted are all ways to show them they are pampered and loved, and that’s something I strive to do! I work a part time job, but I can always do my best to make my schedule flexible. The only unchanging thing I have is going to the gym for about an hour, but I will always come right back! My service is completely up to you! If your furry friend needs to go in the kennel for a little bit, I can do that. If he or she needs to be walked for an hour every day, I can absolutely do that as well. Once again, my service ends wherever you need it to!
About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life and have my own I care for deeply. I’ve cared for family members dogs for years. I adore all animals, especially dogs! I will give your pet the best care! I currently work part time and will have the time in the evenings to care for your pet! I’m available 3pm-12am Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday! I will care for your pet as if they’re my own! I make sure they go for long/enriching walks and make them feel comfortable and safe while visiting your home!
“Brookelynn was super nice! She took on a drop in visit last minute and made sure my fur baby was well taken care of! She was also very responsive and kept me in the loop every step of the way!”
About: I have been a Petco certified dog trainer since I was 18 and have dog/house sat many times since! I treat your dog like family and your home with respect! I am flexible! I am available Mondays and Thursdays all day. Saturdays I get off work at 2:00pm I work 9-5 during the rest of the days of the week. But I always need an excuse to use PTO so watching your fur baby won’t be problem! I just need a two week notice Quality time will be spent with your fur baby to make sure they keep busy. Plenty of playtime and mental stimulation. I love using puzzle toys, snuffles and other things to get a dogs mind working!
“Thank you so much Christopher. I can totally picture the excitement they must of had when they saw you. They're good boys with a lot of love and energy. I'm glad they could share some with you. They'll be happy to see you again in the future. Have a great weekend.”
“Julie did a great job!! We have 4 dogs and we never thought we would be able to go on vacation. Now we have confidence knowing that our babies are well taken care of. We would definitely use Julie again in the future. Jeff B.”
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 7 years old. I grew up on an acreage and we always had cats and dogs. I can administer shots and medication and have experience bottle feeding kittens and bunnies. I love animals and understand that each one is different and deserves love. I am patient and careful with each pet, giving them the attention they need and feel most comfortable with. I have a soft spot for senior animals. I am a teacher, so I am available all summer for your pet sitting needs! During the school year, I am only available on the weekends or after school check-ins. I will follow all directions and rules for taking care of your pet(s). Each one is special and I understand they all have their own needs. I am great at going with the flow with your pet and letting them lead the activity.
“Brianna took amazing care of my 3 kitties. They absolutely loved her. Her communication was excellent and my cats barely noticed I was even gone. She did the cutest arts and crafts projects with them, brushed them, took out the trash and left my place spotless (other than the amazing arts and crafts I came home to.) All of my instructions were followed perfectly, she never left any trash behind, and brought so many treats and toys for the kitties! She came to meet the kitties ahead of time and bonded with them so fast. I would trust Brianna with my cats in a heartbeat and I don’t even trust my parents with them.”
About: I have had 5 family dogs in my life, 1 of which is my dog, personally trained her. And my job throughout high school was dog sitting & dog walking! I am currently working part-time, only 5 minutes from home. My schedule varies weekly but I will always schedule dog visits or boardings when the pup will get my 100% attention. I have a fenced yard & an amazing roommate. We both love dogs and would absolutely love to have your dog join our little sanctuary for any time needed.
“Sara is wonderful! We have 3 dogs and 2 of them are puppies. Sara came over for a meet and greet with the girls and they bonded with her right away. She was so sweet to them and got right on the ground to have them check her out and let them know she was there for them. Sara comes daily and her willingness to be flexible if we need additional visits is above and beyond. We highly recommend Sara and would have no problem with her taking care of our dogs while we are out of town as well. Very trustworthy. Thanks Sara for coming into our lives and taking care of our fur babies!”
