Hannah was so great with Daisy! She followed all of the instructions we left and made sure to bond and make Daisy feel comfortable while my husband and I were gone all week on vacation. She provided us daily updates with pictures and was very communicative, which made it so much easier to be away from Daisy for a whole week. I would definitely recommend Hannah to anyone needing a gentle and attentive dog sitter!

About: I’ve been taking care of cats and dogs for over a decade. I am comfortable with all ages of animals and can administer medication, as needed. Comfortable walking a variety of sizes and ages with a collar or harness. Most of my dogsitting experience has been with senior dogs so I am happy to accommodate their special needs. I work full time but have a remote position, allowing for dog and cat sitting at guest’s house - and I’ll be home all day! I am also available for walks and drop ins. I will follow all instructions, as presented. Whatever your pet’s personal quirks may be, I’m ready to meet their needs. I am happy to maintain their normal routine.

Maya was a wonderful dog sitter. I would not hesitate to use her again. Maya took the time to meet with me and my puppy prior to the scheduled dog sitting. It was clear immediately that she was loving, caring and an experienced dog sitter. I felt very comfortable leaving my puppy with Maya from the beginning. Maya took very good care of my puppy and played with her. Although my puppy was glad to see me, I could tell she had a really good time with Maya.

About: We work from home full-time, which means your pup will get lots of supervision, attention, companionship, and cuddles throughout the day instead of being left alone for long periods. Dogs staying with us typically get up to two walks a day, usually 1–2.5 mile walks at nearby trails. If your pup enjoys walks and adventures, they’re welcome to join! We also make sure dogs have plenty of supervised playtime, enrichment, rest, and individualized attention depending on their personality and energy level. We genuinely love pets and try to make them feel like part of the family while they’re here. Whether your dog is playful, cuddly, shy, energetic, or prefers a calmer environment, we do our best to adapt to their needs and routine. We're also happy to provide regular updates, photos, and videos so you can feel comfortable while you’re away. We know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and we aim to create a safe, loving environment where both you and your pup feel comfortable. I have a flexible schedule to give your pets the love and attention they deserve! I take my dog on walks twice a day for 1-2.5 miles in the park and typically spend the rest of the day at home, treating your babies like my own. I have a fenced yard and live walking distance from a park with wooded trails. I have a friendly pup in my home who loves having friends to play with. I will care for your pets like my own!

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for many years and have experience pet sitting for multiple families, including drop-in visits and overnight care. I’ve cared for cats regularly over several years, watched dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals of all kinds. I also volunteer through Doggy Day Out at the shelter, where I help walk and socialize dogs, and I grew up with a family dog, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I enjoy walks, playtime, cuddles, and making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I have experience incorporating caregiving and pet care into my daily routine and enjoy creating consistent schedules for feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. I am organized, dependable, and make it a priority to ensure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. My schedule allows me to provide regular walks, check-ins, enrichment, and quality time, and I always work to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel at home. I spend a lot of time at home and have a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and consistency throughout the week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routines as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and reduce stress. I make sure pets have fresh water, are fed on schedule, and receive plenty of attention, enrichment, playtime, and companionship. I prioritize safety by keeping doors and outdoor areas secure, being attentive during walks and potty breaks, and cleaning litter boxes as needed. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel informed, reassured, and connected while away.

About: Growing up, my family always had pets. From the tiniest hamster to a large pitbull, I have always been surrounded by pets. I’ve been babysitting pets since I was young and even had the opportunity to foster a dog as a teenager. I understand how important our fur babies are to us! I am out of school for the summer and have plenty of time on my hands! I am available to dog walk or simply just pop ins during the day to check on your pet. I’m my home, pets are members of the family. They’re given the same love and respect that any other family member would receive. For me, this has always reflected when I’m caring for a pet that I am pet sitting. When they’re in my care, I view them as family.

About: With 11+ years in hospitality, I’m all about attentive, reliable care and that extends to dogs. I follow routines, communicate clearly, and make sure every pup feels safe, loved, and understood. Your dog’s comfort is my priority, and you’ll always know how they’re doing while you’re away. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m able to accommodate most requests. I work in hospitality, so I’m used to managing time, staying organized, and being available when people need me. I’m typically free for drop‑ins, walks, and sitting throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. If you need early morning care, late night check‑ins, or a specific routine for your dog, I’m happy to work around that. Just let me know what your pup is used to, and I’ll match their schedule so they stay comfortable and consistent. Your dog’s safety is my top priority. I’m detail oriented, calm under pressure, and I follow instructions exactly as they’re given. I take the time to understand each dog’s routine, comfort level, and any special needs so they always feel secure and supported. I never take risks with pets leashes stay on during walks, doors and gates are double checked, and I keep a close eye on behavior and energy levels. I’m also mindful of your home and privacy, treating your space with the same respect I give to your dog. You can expect clear communication, honest updates, and full transparency. My goal is for you to feel completely confident that your dog is safe, cared for, and in good hands every moment they’re with me.
