About: Hi! I’ve been around dogs my entire life, and caring for them is truly something I love. Over the years, I’ve gained a lot of hands-on experience through privately dog sitting for friends, family, and repeat clients. From energetic puppies to older dogs who need a little extra patience and care, I’m comfortable handling a wide range of personalities and needs. More recently, I’ve started working at a kennel, where I care for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments every day. This has given me even more experience with feeding routines, exercise, administering basic care, and making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every dog like they’re my own — with plenty of attention, affection, and reliable care. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, some playtime, or a calm and caring sitter, I’m here to help and make sure they’re happy and well taken care of! I currently maintain a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available most days for walks, drop-in visits, and playtime. This flexibility also enables me to accommodate a variety of routines and provide dependable, consistent care based on your dog’s specific needs. I prefer caring for dogs in their own home environment, where they feel most comfortable. I can come to you and maintain your dog’s normal routine, helping reduce stress and keep them happy.
“We are so thankful for the wonderful care our dog, Rudy, and guinea pigs received from Kade! It gave us such peace of mind knowing our pets were well cared for and happy while we were away. Communication was excellent. He gave Rudy lots of attention at each of his drop-ins with walks, playing with toys, etc. He was also attentive to our guinea pigs. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”

“Myah did a wonderful job with our Stella! When I walked in, Stella was like "oh you're here," which is the perfect and desired response when any of us return. Stella should know she is safe at home and whoever walks through that door will take care of her. And Myah did very well, meeting our girl's needs in our neighborhood. Will definitely rebook!”

“Dan and Stephanie took excellent care of my three kitties! They sent detailed photos and videos that made me feel so at ease about being away! My house is spotless and my cats are happy and well! I highly recommend Dan and Stephanie!”

“Abby is wonderful! She knows how to take good care of dogs and guinea pigs. Our pitbull mix Hazel got along with her really well. The guinea pigs were kept clean and healthy. I highly recommend her.”

“At the last minute, I needed someone to care for them for 18 days. I had some trouble with the airline and couldn’t bring my dogs with me on the trip. Daniel was able to help and looked after them while I was away. He kept in touch during his visits, sent pictures, and helped me feel at ease; including holidays visits without any problems. Trusting someone for that long was difficult for me, but Daniel made me feel comfortable and reassured. Would 100% recommend Daniel!”

“I am so glad we booked with Mary to watch our two cats for the week. Mary was fantastic and reliable. She spent time with our cats and made sure they had everything they needed. I really appreciated that she sent us feedback and photos after every visit. We would definitely book with her again!”

“Robin was amazing with our dog and cat. She was so patient with our dog’s anxiety and gave her plenty of love while we were away. She also made sure to set aside quality time for the cat to give her love and attention. Robin kept us updated and sent adorable pictures of the pets. We will definitely book with Robin again.”

“Sunny waits for Mia every morning and is her new favorite person!! She is sweet and kind to him, can handle his exuberance and she's really flexible and communicate thoroughly letting me know she's on her way. I couldn't be happier with Mia and an so grateful I found her!”

About: Animals have been a lifelong passion of mine. I have owned and cared for animals for many years and understand that pets are family members who deserve love, attention, and reliable care. My dedication, patience, and genuine love for animals make me someone pet owners can trust. As a member of our local Humane Society, I have gained valuable insight into animal behavior, safety, and the importance of compassionate care. Whether your pet needs a daily walk, feeding, playtime or a drop in visit, I am committed to providing a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience. My goal is to give you a peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring and capable hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and providing the loving care they deserve! I'm currently working full-time, so I'll have plenty of time to care for your fur baby. I am extremely responsible, dependable and attentive to your pet's safety, happiness, and well-being. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing dependable care, affection, and attention while you're away. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring and capable hands.
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom of two, so I truly understand the importance of trusting the person caring for your pup. I have hands-on experience with dogs of all ages—from playful puppies to wise seniors—and I’m comfortable giving medication when needed. Whether it’s a neighborhood walk, a long hike, or some good old-fashioned cuddle time, I tailor each visit to your dog’s energy level and personality. My goal is always to keep tails wagging and pet parents worry-free. Pet care is naturally built into my daily life—I’m already walking, feeding, and loving on my two dogs every day. Adding extra walks, playtime, and check-ins for your pets fits seamlessly into my routine. I enjoy being active, so heading out for walks or hikes is something I look forward to, not something I “squeeze in.” Whether it’s weekdays or weekends, I make pet care a priority and keep a flexible schedule to meet the needs of both pets and their people. When pets are in my care, I treat them as if they were part of my family. In my own home, that means a safe, cozy environment, plenty of playtime, and regular walks to keep them happy and healthy. I keep routines consistent with what they’re used to—whether that’s mealtime schedules, medication, or favorite bedtime rituals. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the pet’s space and the family’s. I follow instructions carefully, ensure that food, water, and litter needs are met, and give each pet the level of attention and affection they’re comfortable with. Whether it’s a quick walk, a snuggle session, or a calm presence for a shy animal, I adapt to what each pet needs most.

About: I have been watching our neighbors and family friend’s dogs and doing drop-ins since I was little. My family has also had a dog since I was in highschool. I take him on walks every evening and am responsible for feeding and letting him out when my family is out of town. As well as my sisters dog when she stays with us. I am available throughout the day to do drop-in’s, go on walks or spend time with them at home throughout the day. Aside from a random day I have plans, my schedule is very flexible. I have a dog I take on walks at home and enjoy being outside with. As well as playing/throwing their toys or sitting together at home.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since i was little. Not only have i learned responsibilities but my deep love and compassion for animals grows every day! I have a bulldog of my own and i couldn’t imagine a life without him. I’m working almost full time but i can make time most weekdays to stop and take care of your pets needs. Mostly day time availability I cannot use my home because of my fur baby but i would be willing to talk about possibilities of taking care of your pet overnight at your house. Just leave me a list and we can have a meet and greet and talk about all the details.
About: I got my first dog at 10 years old and have loved them ever since. I love to help get them outside and keep them company. I work remotely and have flexibility to pop in for visits and walks during the days and evening. We also recently lost 1 of our 2 dogs and would love to find more dog friends in the area. We have one senior mutt who spends the day with me and my toddler at home. He is a rescue who can be timid and appreciates his space at times. We love to take him for long walks and make sure he is comfortable with his people and surroundings.
“Marisa took great care of Toby during a drop in visit. He went outside multiple times and he enjoyed his playtime with Marisa. Toby had plenty of treats and water during the visit and I received great pictures of their time together.”

“Marissa was great! I highly recommend! She was right on time and gave my dogs plenty of time outside and gave them treats too. They were happy and well cared for when I got home. Thanks Marissa!”

About: Born into a family of dog lovers, some of my earliest memories are daily walks with my grandfather’s dog. I grew up with a black lab, a chihuahua, a shi-tzu mix, and a golden retriever, and now own a 12yo cattle dog-mix, socialized with humans and dogs, and extremely well-behaved and taken care of. I’ve never met a dog I didn’t immediately bond with and have watched the pets of family members, neighbors, and co-workers dozens of times over the years. Work full-time but available on the weekends and work from home with flexible hours Tues-Thurs. I live a dog-centric life. My own dog gets 3 walks daily for 2-6 miles (as long as the weather permits) Frequent walks, hikes, trips to the dog park, and plentiful opportunities to go outside. Been through a wide variety of doggy illnesses and injuries and happy to follow any instructions and specialized care your dog might require.

Abbigail did an awesome job taking care of my cat Toby! She was responsible and reliable and our cat warmed up to her quickly. My cat also requires injected medication 2x/day and abbi was gentle with him and was able to get his medication in. I will definitely be using her again!

Marisa was a great cat sitter for our cat. She was very responsive, took the time to meet with us beforehand to go over details and logistics, and already knew how to use our Whisker Litter-Robot, which made us feel very comfortable. Our cat seemed happy and well cared for when we got home, and we’d definitely book with her again!

Madison was excellent. She stepped up with very little notice to watch our two kitties while we focused on a family emergency. She went above and beyond what was required to help us out during a difficult time. I would definitely use her again and would recommend her to anyone.
