“Hunter was exceptional with our pets! We originally hired him to walk our pup but had also gotten a kitten at the time and he spent extra time with our kitten as well making sure she got some love! I would highly recommend! Was professional, well mannered and incredibly kind to our fur babies ❤️”


“Finn looks forward to Danny coming and going for a walk. I have to be careful to not say Danny’s name until he is here, or I have an overly excited German Shepherd boy looking for him.”


About: I have been fortunate enough to gain years of experience working with animals in both a shelter and medical setting. I am well trained in various routes of medicine administration as a result and love every dog I meet. I just want to be able to make a difference for the pets and their families within my community. I do currently work a full time schedule as a veterinary technician, and study part time, so I generally have a rather busy schedule. I am well-disciplined, however, and manage my time around all of my commitments appropriately, and your furry friends hold a high priority for me. I can prepare for overnight duties and have flexible enough time in the mornings and evenings, and could feasibly do drop-in care over the noon hour. My weekends are generally clear! I sincerely promise to be completely respectful of your living space if I am hired to provide care for your furry little loved ones, guaranteed.


About: I believe that pets should be treated like your own family member. Exercise, affection, grooming and good nutrition are all important to a Happy pet. I've had pets all my life, both cats and dogs as well exotic animals. For the past 15 years, I've had friends, family and co-workers seek me out to care for their pets. They trust my ability and love. I can be there at anytime you need me. Thanks for your concentration and I hope to hear from you soon.

About: I have always loved dogs and always wanted one. So since I can’t have one I would love to take care of yours! I have taken care of many dogs of the years. I have watched dogs through house sitting. The longest I watched someone’s dogs was a month. I’m very comfortable around dogs and love them very much. They would get all the love from me! I am a teacher so I’m on summer break. I have all the time in the world! I would love to include walking dogs in my summer routine. I always clean up after myself and your dog. I make sure your and your dogs needs are always met. I don’t have space for a dog at my own house though.

About: I’ve taken care of animals as far back as I can remember. Growing up we had horses, cats, dogs, and even pet crows at times. I’m a huge animal lover and currently have two cats of my own. I’d love to have a dog also but not quite ready for that full-time commitment…I’m happy to be able to help others with their dogs as I am able! I have been asked by friends and family members to house sit, do check-ins, dog walks, etc and I truly love it. I do work full-time but work from home on Tuesdays and Thursdays so I would be more available to do boarding, check-ins, or walking in the evenings and on weekends. Currently I have two cats so i don’t have any dog crates but would have plenty of space for you to bring your own. I don’t have a fenced in yard but will do regular leash walks. My cats are pretty friendly but could be contained in the basement if need be.

About: I have a lot of pet care experience and animal care in general! I’ve worked at two zoos and have always been surrounded by furry and scaley critters. I recently just went through the training of my own puppy as well. My schedule is very flexible and I am very willing to work with you! I can visits, but also can do whole days of needed. I have one dog and a fenced yard. I have a cat and a bearded dragon as well. My dog is very well trained, lives to okay, and has never shown aggression to anything.

Good with working with behaviorally challenged pets. Like to have open communication with fur parents. Willing to text and send pictures to update them during their time away. I currently work part time and getting my masters in counseling online. I'm looking for more time to spend with animals because I miss having them in my life. Let me take care of your fur babies! I currently work in both vet care and mental health. I have a very flexible schedule during the week and have 3 days off in a row. I make sure to prioritize the routine of the pets. I will care for your home and your pets as I do my own. I will make sure everything is as minimal stress for your fur child.

About: I have had pets in the house since I was a kid. Dogs, cats, hermit crabs, rats. I’m punctual and able to adhere to your rules/guidelines concerning your pet. I’m currently retired enjoying my time at home. Will work part time in the fall. We have 2 responsible adults and a teenager in our home that can take care of any needs or playtime your pet may need.

About: Welcome to my page! My passion is spreading the love, and we do that by being loving animal owners ourselves. I have been a caregiver for 25 years and have experience with animals small to large, hedgehog to horse. We love them all! My home is a Safe Haven for all or we come by your house where animals feel most at home. We enjoy caring for a variety of animals and sharing toys, walks, and of course belly rubs. It really gives us a happy boost so we seek it out often. Our home is an isolated farm house with plenty of roaming room, no electric fences or shock collars here. Just one on one attention. We are a house of many cards, actually animals. We have two dogs, 4 fish, 60 birds including chickens, Guinea fowl, and ducks. We’ve been blessed with the opportunity to help rescue and release some back yard birds like doves and finches. We really do have a niche for this! I'm currently a stay at home mom of kids and animals. During the day I’m available to come by and say hi, or you can drop off and pick up around your work schedule. We live in an isolated area in the country(only 3 neighbors within a mile). No fence but we do have a lead if needed and we are always outside with our puppy playing and running. Animals are allowed to sleep on the floors or in my bed. We do have crates when necessary and we only give pure freeze dried liver as treats.

I have so much fun with dogs and love taking them with me on walks! I currently am a college students who has class during the days, but my classes only take around 3 hours a day. On thursdays, I do have a job I work during the day from 7 am- 3pm. I also do have a part time job that’s schedule changes week to week but currently I’m not working much there! Regardless if you let your dog out in your yard without a leash, I will be requiring a leash (if there are no fences) to keep your dog safe and others around safe. I especially think play time and walking tim are important for animals and their health! I will not be someone who pops in and out super fast and I will build a connection with your pets!

Caring for animals is a natural part of my everyday life. Living on 5 peaceful acres in the country, I spend my days surrounded by pets—my own cats, dogs, and occasional farm animals. I build my schedule around giving each pet plenty of love, attention, exercise, and rest. Whether it’s daily walks, medication administration, or simply cuddling on the couch, I make sure every animal’s needs are met consistently and lovingly. My experience as a veterinary technician taught me the importance of routine, observation, and compassionate care, which I bring to every pet I look after. Pet care isn’t just a job—it’s part of my lifestyle and passion. I prioritize safety and comfort above all else. In my home, pets enjoy a calm, secure environment on our quiet 5-acre country property, with plenty of space to explore under close supervision. All areas are pet-proofed to prevent accidents, and I closely monitor each animal’s behavior and health throughout their stay. When caring for pets in their own homes, I respect their routines and spaces, keeping their environment clean and safe while providing attentive, loving care. I follow all instructions carefully—whether feeding, administering medication, or handling special needs—to ensure each pet feels secure and comfortable. Building trust with both pets and their owners is essential. I communicate openly and promptly, providing updates and photos to give pet parents peace of mind that their beloved companions are in caring hands.

Michele M.
“Michele was a perfect sitter for our Wheaton terrier. I was hoping she would be good for our dog as her rates are very reasonable. I couldn't ask for better care and concern for our dog. The experience was so much better than one of the kennels around town that I have used before. Michele definitely loves her guests and treats them as one of her own. I will definitely continue to use Michele to watch our pet when we are out of town.”

Sarah B.Star Sitter
“Dear Rover, Sarah Burnett has been such a wonderful caregiver to our 3 dogs (2 black labs & 1 Shih Tzu)over the years. Sarah is so affectionate toward them & attentive to their every need. We couldn't ask for a better sitter to care for them & they just adore her. Any dog would be lucky to have Sarah as a human companion.”

“I highly recommend Josh as a pet sitter. He has watched my dog multiple times, and each experience has been fantastic. He is incredibly responsible, attentive, and genuinely loves animals. My dog absolutely adores him and is always excited to see him! Josh goes above and beyond to make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for—whether it’s sticking to feeding routines, going on long walks, or just spending quality time with them. He’s also great at sending updates and photos, which gives me total peace of mind when I’m away. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, patient, and truly great with dogs, you’ll be in excellent hands with him.”




Jasmine G.
“Before Jasmine we had not used a boarder, and was very apprehensive because of so many horror stories. However, Jasmine has been a great asset in caring for our little furry four legged baby. She was both flexible and understanding with pick up and drop off, because we frequently visit our family out of town. We have used her several times since the initial time, and she has always been predictable in her care and we have been appreciative. Anyone using her will be satisfied with her care.”


Christina D.
“Christina has taken care of my dog Keegan many times. Keegan loves going to her home and playing in the large fenced in yard and hanging out with their dog, Valarie. Christina is responsible, reliable and honest and I would highly recommend her. In addition, she is a retired Navy Sr. Chief, so it feels great to support a veteran.”


Brittany S.
“Brittany and her family have been great with my 2 girls, they come every day to let my girls out while I'm working. They take the time to play with my girls and give them plenty of time to drink and go potty. Very reasonably pricing and even do clean up after the dogs for a small fee. I would recommend Brittany to anyone looking for a trusting person to care for their 4 legged kids.”


Veronica R.
“My Yorkshire terrier Cali is my world, and has some separation anxiety. Veronica did a great job making her comfortable while I was away and Cali was happy when I came back. I got so many pictures and videos of my happy puppy :)) Never had anyone else watch my pets from then on. She does great with my kitty and hamster Juice too, her enclosure was nice and clean when I came back, so was the kitty’s litter box.”

Gabrielle W.
“Gabrielle has been the best dog sitter I have ever used. My dog loves her because she goes above and beyond the bare expectations, spending extra time with him, taking him on more than just the basic walk but to the dog park (with my permission), and just genuinely caring about his wellbeing. I have recommended her to several friends who also have used her very regularly and are happy. She is trustworthy, hardworking, and reliable. She's the best.”
