“​We had an absolutely wonderful experience with her! She looked after our Basenjis yesterday while we were away at a wedding, and we couldn’t be happier. Basenjis can be a unique breed to manage, but she was incredibly attentive, responsible, and kept us updated the whole time. It was such a relief knowing they were in safe, caring hands. We will definitely be booking her again!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have raised several from young puppies into adulthood. I currently care for my three dogs—Nala, Sage, and Willow—and have experience with feeding, walking, playtime, basic puppy care, and giving each dog the patience and attention they deserve. I’ll treat your pet like they’re one of my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I receive my work schedule monthly, so I keep my availability up to date and am happy to work with pet owners to find times that fit both of our schedules. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’ll follow your care instructions closely, prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort, and provide a loving, dependable environment while you’re away.

“We would 1000% recommend Katie. Katie was kind patient with one of our dogs that takes a little while to warm up to new people, even making a couple trips out to take her on walks before we left. During our time away, a new medical issue came up for our elderly dog. Katie was amazing at communicating with us, taking her to the vet for us, helping 3 way call with the vet while she was there and keeping a watchful eye on her until we could return home. We found our house exactly how we left it, everything tidy and clean. We hands-down will be using Katie again knowing that our dogs will be well loved and taken care of while we’re away”

About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including my own dog who lived with diabetes and eventually lost her vision. During that time, I was responsible for administering daily insulin injections, managing a specialized prescription diet, monitoring her health, and ensuring she remained comfortable and happy. This experience taught me patience, attention to detail, and how to care for pets with unique medical needs. In addition to caring for my own dog, I have regularly looked after my siblings' dogs and friends' pets, providing feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and plenty of love. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work part-time and am self-employed, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be available throughout the day. I can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feedings, playtime, and check-ins around each pet's specific needs. Because I have control over my work schedule, I can provide reliable care and give pets the attention they deserve rather than fitting them into a busy routine. I enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority to ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I make it a priority to follow their established routine as closely as possible. I understand that pets feel most comfortable in their familiar environment, so I ensure they receive their regular feeding schedule, exercise, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of attention and companionship. I treat every home with respect, keeping it clean and secure while following any instructions provided by the owner. I also provide updates and photos so pet parents can have peace of mind knowing their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while they're away.

“David did a great job with all of our animals and kept in good contact the whole time we were gone with photos and updates. It eased our minds substantially while out of town for the holidays. We will definitely be booking again!”

“Very good.”

About: I have always loved spending time with pets. Since I was born, my family has had three wonderful dogs who have lived special lives in my care. When I was younger, I used to dog sit for friends and neighbors when they were out of town and I always made sure to spend a little extra time with the pets so they aren't too sad when by themselves. I am currently a remote intern with a lot of free time throughout the week, so spending time with pets will be easy to work into my schedule. My home is full of warmth and good vibes for dogs of all sizes. With a big park behind my backyard, your pets will love running around while we play.

“Rob did a great job watching our house, two dogs and three cats for 24 days! We were very nervous leaving all our animals with someone but Rob was great and would almost instantly reply to our messages and give us daily updates. We would definitely recommend him and would use again. Thank you!”

“This is the 2nd time Mercedes has dog sat Obasi. She is my go to. I wouldn’t want anyone else outside of my family to watch him. She’s caring, playful and patient with Obasi. She’s a great communicator as well, providing updates as often as you may want them. Although with her watching him, there is less stress and no need to check up on him daily.”

About: I worked full time for a shelter and loved working with every animal there. Meeting them at their level so that their needs were completely fulfilled was my passion. Whether they were high or low energy, dim or bright, friendly or not, I thrived on figuring out what would make the the most adoptable and what would make them most comfortable in the harsh shelter environment. It was a difficult and demanding job at times especially when I needed to provide first aid or medication/therapy for ailing animals but I always enjoyed coming home knowing I did something that meant something to those parent-less pets. I also had the lovely opportunity to work the social media for the shelter and take photos and videos of each animal to best display their personalities to the wider public who wouldn't normally see them otherwise. I currently work part time with very flexible hours so I am frequently available to provide service to both my own pets and others. I find it very fulfilling to be able to make time for my own furry friends! Working in a shelter environment I often met many animals at their lowest when they were beyond scared and upset. I got exposure to many dogs and cats that were horribly unadapted to life around people and had personalities on either end of the spectrum. I am more than comfortable with animals that are more aggressive in both appearance and personality and was frequently tasked with retrieving abandoned or lost animals using the company van.

“Cheyenne took amazing care of our pup! He was sick right before we left for almost 2 weeks and she administered all his medications, sent us lots of photo/video updates and was super responsive. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a kid. I have house sat for at least three different people and took care of their pets! I’ve worked with senior dogs and puppies. I also have a part time job at a pet store so I have a decent amount of knowledge on pets and am more than happy to get things from the store for you! I have also administered medicine to a dog with health issues so I am comfortable administering medicine. I work part-time at a pet store! But I have time in between these things to drop in on pets and walk them, play with them, and even feed them. I’m happy to do whatever needs to be done’ My cat is older so she doesn’t play much anymore, but I’ve played with lots of kitties before. I’ve also played with dogs, big and small. My old home had a fenced in yard that I used to play with the dogs in. I no longer have that, but I love taking my own dog on long walks to burn off some of that energy!

“Juliana was beyond great. She took care of my dog as if it were one of her own. My flight got canceled, and she happily took care of the dog for two more days. I don't know what I would have done without her help. I highly recommend her to others.”

“Alexis took great care of our home and pets during her second stay. She was communicative and thoughtful about updates and leaving our place tidy. Thanks again for sitting over the holiday! We'll be back. :-)”

About: With over a decade of hands on animal care experience, I provide dependable walks and attentive home visits rooted in patience, consistency, and genuine care. My experience in animal shelters, professional grooming, and veterinary medicine has allowed me to work with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, helping me understand their individual needs, adapt to different personalities, and remain calm in new or challenging situations. . Clear communication is one of my top priorities. After every walk or drop in, you’ll receive detailed updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I pay attention to the little things, from changes in energy and appetite to shifts in mood or behavior, because those details often matter most. . Whether you need recurring walks, midday check ins, or dependable care while you’re away, I show up on time, respect your home, and help maintain the routines your pet knows and trusts. As the owner of a very smart senior poodle, I understand the trust it takes to place your pet in someone else’s care. My goal is to build that trust through consistency, attentiveness, and open communication, while providing the kind of care that gives both pets and their people peace of mind. I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs throughout the week. Whether you need recurring walks, drop-in visits, or last-minute care, I prioritize clear communication and dependable service. My goal is to keep your pet on as consistent a schedule as possible. I follow feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, and any household guidelines you provide. Every pet is unique, and I’m happy to accommodate the little details that help them feel comfortable and at home. Whether that’s a favorite walking route, a special bedtime routine, or even a specific way they like their meals prepared, I’m happy to help.
