“Shelly did everything I asked her to do. She was great about posting updates each day. I have had sitters in the past who didn’t pay careful attention to instructions and texted me often while I was away. Shelly paid attention and handled this job as a professional. I would definitely hire her again!”
“Christopher and Cassandra really came through and helped my dogs and I urgently. They did everything perfectly and interacted with my dogs understanding each of their different personalities. Thank you so much!”
About: I have had cats and dogs my entire life! I’ve personally owned a beagle, basset hound, three standard poodles, and a collie. I am a long time pet sitter for my friends and I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and breeds (proud pitbull auntie). I will love your pet as if they’re my own. Pets are family. I work full time but I’m usually off work by 430pm. I don’t have children so I have a pretty open schedule otherwise! I only work Monday through Friday, so I’m available all weekend as well. I will have some holiday availability! I have 2 cats who are comfortable with other cats and dogs. I’m currently in an apartment so I would take the dog out and walk them often.
“Jill is great. She makes sure the instructions are clear and she understands them. She’s confident with my dog which helps me relax! I definitely have zero anxiety knowing that she is caring for my nugget!”
“Maria was available on short notice and did an amazing job. I was heading out of town and she not only came over for a meet & greet the night of the booking, but she was able to check in on my dogs over the upcoming weekend.”
About: Born & raised in a family with just as many pets as people, I’ve stuck out for getting along with every animal I meet, very well and very fast. If your pet needs a new best friend, I’m just a booking away! My calendar is very flexible, just communicate with me beforehand :) As of right now, I’m a job-searching student with seemingly all the time in the world. I enjoy establishing daily routines that keep me busy. I personally own one happy parakeet and a healthy tortoise, but I also care for 2 of my family’s dogs (1 small, 1 medium) and one sweet cat. I have also assisted in potty training for dogs, and I work well with meal schedules.
About: I have a flexible schedule, as someone who does pet care and grocery shopping full time. I grew up with dogs, cats, fish, guinea pigs, rabbits, turtles, and more! I currently have one senior daschund and care for my daughter’s dog all the time as well. I’m truly happiest when spending time with animals! I hope you consider me to care for your sweet fur babies, they’ll be in great hands and I’ll treat them as my own! Unemployed so I have plenty of time. I lost my sweet Lola a year ago and I’m still trying to heal from that loss so I’d love take care of your family pet I’ve got much love to share 😊 I have a fenced yard and one long hair dachshund named Lenny 💜 Lenny is 15 and has slowed down a bit but is friendly with other dogs 😊
“You will not find a better cat sitter than Amber! She gives our pets so much love and attention. I cannot say enough about how helpful and thoughtful she is. Amber always goes above and beyond for us!”

About: I have dog and kitty sat all through college and beyond, even cleaning homes. My kids are old enough now that we can jump start this fun again! We love to walk, play, and give overloads of attention to pets! My kids are 16, 13, and 10 and are eager to serve your family. The best part is that we homeschool, so pets are not left alone for long periods of time. We also live in a dynamic subdivision that is very pet-friendy. We school from home, so there's many opportunities for walking and playing throughout the whole day. There's lots of energy for pet attention in our home. Whether it's walking or boarding, we are delighted to host your pet! We have a fenced in yard with lots of space to run and play. We are a smoke-free home and have a lot of love for animals. We also love animals, especially because God made them and he cares for them and cares about how we treat them.
About: Starting 4 years ago, I began working in the pet care field as a kennel technician. I have now added veterinary assisting to my repertoire. With my past jobs I’ve been fortunate enough to work well with many types of pets of all sizes, from rats all the way up-to Great Danes! I am currently a full time vet technician, but I can definitely fit in pet-sitting, walk-ins, and or dog walks throughout the week. I usually am home for free time and love to keep busy so I have flexible availability. I usually let my dog free roam the house when we are winding down after a walk or fetch. Interaction is key to a healthy mindset for pets, so I try to entertain them as much as possible!
