This was our first experience with Lillian’s and she took very good care of my 2 Rottweilers. She was timely, followed the instructions and I returned to 2 happy pups. Thank you!

Jennifer was great! I hadn't followed up with her regarding access to Legend but yet she remained diligent regarding gaining access to him. I also appreciated her willingness to work with Legend. Being that he is a pit bull that can be intimidating to most but she took on the challenge. Thank you again Jennifer! I hope to book you in the future.

About: Hi! My name is Allison, and I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I currently have a full house with 4 dogs and 2 cats so I’m very comfortable managing different personalities, energy levels, and care routines. I also spent 3 years working in the veterinary field, which gave me valuable experience recognizing health concerns, administering basic care, and understanding animal behavior. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding schedules, or just giving your pets extra love and attention, I treat every animal like they’re my own. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I’m committed to providing safe, reliable, and compassionate care while you’re away! Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life. I currently work as a 911 dispatcher, so I’m used to managing a structured but sometimes fast-paced schedule. I plan my pet sitting visits around my shifts, which allows me to stay organized and committed to each pet’s routine. Since I care for my own 4 dogs, 2 cats, and a horse daily, feeding, exercise, and attention are already built into my routine. Adding client pets into that schedule feels seamless, and I make sure each one gets reliable, consistent care and plenty of attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I provide drop-in visits that include feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of attention based on each pet’s needs and energy level. I take the time to follow all instructions closely whether that’s specific feeding schedules, medications, or preferred routines, so your pet feels comfortable and secure while you’re away. I also make sure your home is respected and kept tidy, bringing in mail, adjusting lights, and ensuring everything is secure. With my background in the veterinary field and experience caring for multiple animals of my own, I’m attentive to behavior changes and overall well-being, so you can feel confident your pet is in safe, capable hands.

About: I have been the lucky human partner of many cats and dogs. Your dog and/or cat will be treated like I would care for my own, with love, care and kindness. If they have special needs I'm happy to be your care extender. I am retired and self-directing, so my schedule can typically be tailored on an individual basis to fits the needs of Fido or Feline. I prefer advance notice and planning so there is a chance to build trust and familiarity with your best friend. I do not offer pet sitting in my own home. I can pet sit in your home if desired. Individualized plans are based on your needs.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I have experience with diabetic dogs. Dogs that need medicine. Special needs dogs. I love to play with them, walk them and I will treat them as my own. We raise horses so I have a lot of experience where you have to pay close attention so I would notice if something is off with you dog and I would address it immediately.

I would make sure they are loved like my own. If they have special needs or need shots, medicine or anything extra you can feel safe with me.

About: Hi, my name is Mariah. I have two pets of my own, 1 puppy named Lake and 1 cat named mango 💙🥭. I have two years experience caring for animals in a professional setting at a animal hospital. My biggest take away from that job was learning the importance of communicating with the customers and making sure their pets were always a priority. As pet owners we don’t always feel like our pets come first and that can be a very uneasy feeling. All animals deserve people with the right intentions and when finding the right person to take care of your pets you deserve to be able to relax knowing your pet is happy, healthy, and being treated well. Your pet will be top priority in my care and will be treated as my own. I have experience administering medication to both dogs and cats. I can follow raw food or special diet recipes. I am very detail oriented and can keep your pet on their daily routines, such as meal plans, and medication, exercise, etc. Requirements: I ask that your pets be up to date on vaccines and their flea and tick prevention, especially puppies they MUST have their dewormer, parvo, and distemper. I will not take a risk of getting my other animals sicks. I currently work full time Monday through Friday (7am-3pm.) I have open availability after 3 pm on the week days. My weekends are open availability. I have two outdoor runs, 40x50 outdoor enclosed fence for outdoor time. I also have multiple crates that can be utilized in emergency situations or for comfortability as some dogs just like using crates as a safe place to relax and decompress. I have two playpen areas in the garage that are great for puppies that I can bring inside. If there is a reactive dog in the bunch I will separate and place the reactive dog in another room to avoid fights. Your dog will be walked and engaged with while being outside as I try to make this a fun activity for my dog and a chance for him to get his energy out. For cats I would prefer to offer service at the owners house due to already having a cat and knowing she doesn’t like sharing her space with cats and prefers her own cat room.

About: I have been surrounded by animals my whole life, and through those years they interest me more and more. I had/have multiple cats and dogs, and the connection with them has been something I couldn’t imagine not experiencing. Plus, the knowledge I have gained from being around familiar animals makes me feel I would love experiencing new things with other pets, and get to know their unique personalities. With that being said, I am open to almost any training/service necessary for your dog(s) or cat(s) needs and would love to get to know your fuzzy family! I’ve just started school, and my classes are every weekday from 5:30 pm to 10 pm, just so you’re aware if that contradicts any booking requirements you need. I have my own pets to take care of, but other than that I don’t have consistent routines that would get in the way of the times and dates I’m available. For drop-ins, I will do feedings, outdoor/potty time, and get to know your pet(s). If there’s any questions or other service not noted that you’d like to ask I can do, I would be happy to answer. Walks- I do at least 15 minute walks, and up to 90 minute walks. More characterized questions, such as walking area or what certain necessities your pet(s) needs can be discussed once I have contact/a schedule with you.

About: Hi, I'm a 36 year old animal lover, I've had dogs and cats most of my life. Currently I don't have any pets due to the rules where I live, but I'd love to treat your pets like my own. Walks, baths or whatever the goodest boys and girls want/need. I have experience with older dogs and puppies. I currently have a pretty open schedule except 2-8pm Monday, Wednesday and Friday (can be worked around for the right situation). I have plenty of time to make sure your best friend is living their best lives while you're away. Pets are my top priority, potty and breakfast first thing in the morning, a nice walk around the neighborhood, lots of playtime especially for those high energy breeds, brushings and bathes for the dirty doggos and add in pretty painted nails for the pretty goodest girls.

About: I am a registered nurse with a passion for animals of all kind. I have Years of obedience and agility training with dogs and 20 plus years with horses! I have the options of in house or barn boarding/ combos throughout the day depending on what your dog prefers!!! In house would be access to my family and all home luxuries! The barn is a 10x12 kennel with matted stalls and access to a huge outdoor play lot. My dog yard is a spacious 1/2 acre and fully fenced! Your dogs will see a horse and donkey in the pasture behind the yard! Safety comes first inside of my home as I do have children. Let your pup come have some fun! Living the farm animals are my life! I am a mother and work a few flexible short nursing shifts here and there so home A LOT! I have a secure and sturdy fenced in yard with lots of room to roam around. When I am home they can be in or out as much as they please! Free range while I’m not home just dog dependent. If your dog prefers to be outside in the kennel with access to fresh air while needing a safe space while I’m away for a minute that’s an option too! Again dog dependent as safety is my priority but we love hikes, walks and outings which they are more than welcome to join in on!

About: I have always enjoyed spending my time with animals. I got my first dog when I was in elementary school - sadly he recently passed away - but since coming to college I have been missing my sweet fur baby. Being able to play with and care for someone else's pet while also earning extra cash would be an ideal job experience for me. Getting a new pet really isn’t an option for me right now. With all the free time on my hands, and I would love to get the chance to spend it walking and playing with your fur babies! In the past, I have dog sat for other friends and family and I really enjoyed it and having the extra company is always a plus!

Big huge Love to Celeste D. for watching after my 2 cats so I could get away for a quick trip. This was my first experience with any pet sitter, and I am extremely happy with the entire experience. Celeste was friendly, sent messages in a timely manner,and I also received daily check ins with pictures. I plan to request Celeste in the future.

We had never used Liliana before, but we were really happy with how everything went. She was very professional from the start and took the time to meet with us and the cats ahead of the visits, which immediately made us feel comfortable. She was thorough during each drop-in and handled everything we asked for without any issues. Her updates were thoughtful and detailed, and we really appreciated the photos and notes about how the cats were doing each time she stopped by. Overall, it was a great experience. We felt confident leaving our cats in her care and would definitely use her again in the future.
