About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for many years. I have provided pet sitting services for over 15 years and was a devoted dog owner for 15 years, giving me firsthand experience with every stage of a pet's life.Since 2018, I have been actively involved in fostering, caring for animals with a wide range of needs and personalities. My experience includes senior dogs, small breeds, cats, puppies, newborns, nursing mothers, and pets requiring medical attention or specialized care. Through fostering and pet sitting, I have become comfortable administering medications, monitoring health concerns, and providing extra patience and support to pets who need it most.What sets me apart is my ability to adapt to each pet's individual needs while treating them like family. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and cautious, a senior needing extra comfort, or recovering from a medical issue, I provide attentive, compassionate care that gives both pets and owners peace of mind. 🐾 Pet care is my primary focus, so I have a very open and flexible schedule. I do not work outside the home, which allows me to be available throughout the day for feedings, medication schedules, playtime, and individualized attention. My daily routine is already centered around caring for foster animals, so I am accustomed to maintaining consistent feeding times and providing attentive care to pets with a variety of needs. Whether your cat requires extra monitoring, a structured routine, or simply companionship, I have the time and flexibility to ensure they receive the care and attention they deserve. 🐾 Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and a pet-friendly home environment. I also have resident cats, so any visiting pets should be comfortable around cats or able to be safely separated if needed. With over 15 years of pet-sitting experience and fostering since 2018, I am experienced in caring for pets of all ages and needs, including seniors, medical cases, kittens, puppies, and nursing mothers. I closely follow each pet's routine, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special instructions provided by their owner. Because I have an open schedule and caring for animals is my primary focus, pets receive plenty of supervision, attention, affection, and enrichment throughout the day. My goal is to provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and at home while their families are away. 🐾🐱🐶
About: Dogs have always been family to me. I’m a behavioral trainer and founder of A Happy Dog’s Life Rescue. I love dogs of all sizes and have plenty of hands-on experience with large dogs, small dogs, shy personalities, energetic pups, and seniors. My focus is on dog walks and drop-in visits, giving your pets love, attention, and consistency while you’re at work or away. Whether your dog needs a good walk, a leisurely sniff around the neighborhood, a potty break, meals, playtime, or just some company, I’ll tailor our time to their needs and your instructions. Through rescue work, I’ve learned how important patience and trust are. I take time to get to know each dog’s personality and comfort level, especially those who need a little extra time to warm up. One of my favorite things about pet sitting has always been seeing dogs remember me—even after a long time between visits! I love building those lasting relationships and becoming a familiar face your dog is excited to see. You can expect photo updates, clear communication, and thoughtful care so you feel connected while you’re away.
About: I have been a dog lover my entire life! I have spent over 20 years caring for and owning dogs and would love to continue caring for them, assisting in drop in visits and dog walking. I have experience caring for all ages and breeds of dogs for long and short periods of time. My lifestyle is very active and I would like to assist in walking your dog and also providing drop in services to alleviate busy schedules. My schedule is flexible and allows for walks and drops in visits to provide supplemental pet care. If you have any questions or concerns I'm happy to discuss your preferences! I look forward to taking care of one of the most important members of the family! I currently work in a hybrid environment and spend most of my days at home. This allows for flexibility during the mornings, afternoons and evenings to assist in pet care! I look forward to helping you by walking your dog or stopping by to feed and let them out. At this time I am not taking dogs to stay at my home.
“Maja took such great care of Weezer! She knows how to interact with cats and always remembers his little preferences. I loved getting regular photo updates, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. This was my second time having Maja watch Weezer, and I’ll definitely book her again!”
“Bibiana was so kind meeting Cruz 🐾 today! He loved her! I’m so glad I know I have someone so kind and reliable to help me with Cruz when I need it. I’m sure Cruz will be so excited to see his new friend in a few days!”
“Anna did an awesome job taking care of our girl while we were put of town! She gave regular updates and shared pictures to help put our minds at ease while we were away! I didnt have to worry about a thing! Highly recommend!”
“Churro always loves when Emily comes to hang out!! We couldn’t love her more! So thankful churro has found someone she trusts and loves and same for us! Thank you Emily for taking great care of our girl!!!”
About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up with a dog and recently became a dog owner myself, and I quickly realized just how much joy, comfort, and companionship they bring into our lives. I’m completely obsessed with my own pup and know firsthand how important it is to have someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable when you can’t be there. There was a time when I needed someone to help care for my pup, and I remember how much that support meant to me. Now, I’d love to be that person for other pet parents. Whether your dog needs a walk, some extra attention, or simply a little companionship while you’re away, I’ll treat them with the same patience, care, and affection I’d want for my own. I’m excited to get to know each pup’s unique personality and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while they’re in my care. 🐾 With a flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to give your pup the walks, attention, and love they deserve! 🐾 I know how much peace of mind it brings to have someone you trust care for your dog, and I’d love to be that person for you and your pup. My pup is crate-trained and has his own comfortable space for when I’m not home, but otherwise he’s free to roam around the house as he pleases. We also have a backyard where he can safely enjoy some fresh air, play, and explore. I want any dog staying with us to feel comfortable, relaxed, and right at home.
About: I have had a family pet dog ever since I was little, including a black lab, a basset hound, and a toy poodle. I also recently trained a golden doodle to be a service dog, and she is now serving her family in Alabama. I work as a teacher during the day, but I am available in the evenings and on most weekends to house sit, let dogs out, or take dogs on walks. In the client’s home, I will provide care for the dogs as the client recommends. I am very flexible and will do what I can to make sure the dogs are happy.
“Jessica is great! She took wonderful care of my kitty. She did daily drop ins to play with my kitty, ensure she had her food, litter management, and of course chin scritches. I would highly recommend Jessica!”
About: Ever since I was a little girl I’ve always prefer preferred animals over humans! I’ve had cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters, and I’ve never met a species of pet I don’t like! I’ve cleaned litterboxes, taken care of sick cats and dogs, walked and bathed dogs, and am constantly doing research to know more about our four legged family members! I currently work for myself and make my own hours, so I’m very flexible during the week! I have four cats of my own and one beloved nephew-puppy I often help care for. I’ve taken care of pets my whole life! I can provide a clean and safe environment for animals such as puppy proofing, litterbox cleaning, dish cleaning, and accident clean ups while also providing other services to keep your four legged friends happy and healthy such as walks, play time, and whatever you feel your pet may need.
“Mona was absolutely wonderful!!! I had just adopted my cat a couple weeks before having Mona drop by and check on him while I was out of town. I was nervous since he had so much that was already new to him, but she was great with him and cared for him like he was her own! My cat was even on antibiotics at the time with a more difficult care regimen, and she treated it like it was no extra trouble. I’m definitely using her again!!!”

Julia was beyond amazing ! The nicest from start to finish. loved on my fur baby like he was her own . I was worried about being away for extended time but Julia wiped away any and all doubts before day 1 was even finished . She has a repeat client here for sure ❤️
I had a great experience with Lorrie!. Her and her Partner were able to do a meet-and-greet beforehand, which really helped me feel comfortable and for my dog. She was very patient with my dog Ava, and she completed all her check-ins with photos and great communication throughout. We were able to visit my fiancée’s parents with total peace of mind knowing our dogs were being well cared for. Highly recommend!
