“Shelby took great care of my pups when I was away! She provided photos/updates, administered medication daily, and made sure my anxious boy was set during storms. Came back to well-loved pups and a house just as neat as I left it! Will for sure be booking Shelby again.”

“Ebony was great with our girls. She stayed for a quick overnight trip and our pups warmed up to her quickly. She even won over our nervous girl in no time. Great communication, and kept the dogs on schedule. Would definitely recommend.”

“Lucy is fantastic! While we are gone she will send pictures and videos. She always leaves a detailed note of key things that happened and she goes out of her way to vacuum/ clean up after the dogs!”

“Khalifa took the absolute best and very spontaneous care of our two dogs. She’s absolutely trustworthy, super communicative. Always kept me updated about my baby’s and they were so happy. I highly recommend her!”

“Caitlin was fantastic! She was so kind and patient when she first stopped by to meet the critters. She was a fantastic communicator while I was out of town and took some great pictures and videos that clearly showed my dogs were thriving with all the attention she was giving them. It offered me so much peace of mind to know my pets were in such caring hands. Thank you, Caitlin!”
“We were lucky to book Marisa on short notice. The pups loved her and she took great care of them. She communicated every day and we came home to a clean house. We would definitely use her again.”

“Absolutely amazing and very professional. Great communication and left my house in amazing shape. My dogs where very well taken care of and she was an absolute amazing sitter.”

“Elizabeth stayed at our house to pet sit for our senior kitty. Elizabeth gave picture updates and was communicative the entire time while we were away. When we arrived, our kitty had clearly gotten tons of care and attention! The house was also kept clean and tidy just like when we left. Will definitely be using Elizabeth on future trips!”


“Cheryl took fantastic care of Maya our pup. We got some great photos, and it was clear that Cheryl and Maya had a great trust and friendship built up. We hope Cheryl is able to cover for us in the future when we're out of town!”

“Ayanna was an amazing dog and house sitter. My pitty enjoyed spending time with her and going for walks. Ayanna sent me plenty of pics and videos showing me how happy he was. I highly recommend Ayanna, she has a great disposition and a positive vibe about her. My pitty, Zeke loves her and I will definitely use her services in the future.”

“Zoe is amazing! She’s super friendly, and knew the way to my girls’ hearts. She made sure to give them plenty of snuggles and made them feel comfortable even for the first time meeting them. She sent lots of updates and photos, which helped me overcome leaving them with someone new. I will definitely be reaching out to Zoe in the future for any sitting or drop in needs I have.”

“John was very communicative and took great care of my two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. Photos or videos each day helped me feel less sad while away. Also, he watered my plants & took great are of my home. I highly recommend John & will call upon him in the future.”

“Caroline watched my dog Gus for a long weekend and did a great job. Gus’ partner had passed assay about 2 months before our trip and was suffering from separation anxiety. Caroline did a good job and kept Gus comfortable while we were gone.”

About: What sets me apart is that I don’t simply “check in” on your fur babies; I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and getting to know their individual personalities, routines, and needs. I have years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, including regular and extended care while their families travel. For the past six years, I’ve been consistently trusted to care for pets when Dad and Mom go away on frequent trips, including stays of more than 30 days. I’m comfortable administering medications, staying at your residence, accommodating specific dietary needs and feeding schedules, maintaining established routines, regular walks and exercise, litter care, playtime, and, of course, plenty of companionship and affection. And please, give me ALL the instructions! You can leave me a legitimate PowerPoint presentation about your baby, and I will happily follow it to a T. 😂 I know every pet has their own routine, favorite things, quirks, boundaries, and very specific ways they like things done. (I’m a Virgo, so I know meticulous details. 😂) I’d much rather know every little detail so I can keep their world as familiar and comfortable as possible while you’re away. I will also send you pictures and updates to provide you with peace of mind. I’m patient with shy or cautious animals, attentive to changes in behavior, and happy to adapt to different personalities, ages, and energy levels. Whether your baby needs long walks and playtime, is a workout nut (to keep me in shape, too 😂), needs extra attention, wants a cuddle buddy, or needs someone who understands that affection happens strictly on THEIR terms, I’ll follow their lead. Most importantly, I understand that you’re trusting me with a member of your family and, often, your home as well. I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your babies are safe, your home is safe, and your babies are comfortable, loved, and having a pretty great time with their favorite auntie, while you take care of whatever needs your attention, without having to stress about what’s happening back at home. 🐾❤️ I have a very flexible schedule, so I’m able to easily incorporate pet care into my daily and weekly routine. Whether your baby needs early morning or evening walks, scheduled feedings, medication at specific times, regular check-ins, playtime, or simply someone around to keep them company, I can adjust my schedule around their needs. I’m also available for overnight and extended stays in your home, which allows your pets to remain comfortable in their own environment and maintain the routine they’re already used to. Since my schedule has flexibility, I’m happy to spend quality time with your babies rather than rushing in and out. 🐾❤️ When caring for pets in my home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible while you’re away. I’ll follow your instructions closely regarding feeding, medications, walks, exercise, litter care, playtime, bedtime routines, and all of those little details that make your baby feel safe and at home. We spend most of the day together, so they are not alone for long periods of time if I have to run off to check on another baby. I’m happy to stay overnight and spend quality time with your pets rather than simply popping in and out if you prefer. I’ll give them the level of attention and affection THEY are comfortable with, whether that means lots of cuddles and companionship, plenty of activity, or giving a shy kitty their space until they decide I’ve earned their approval. 😂 I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would want someone to give mine. I’ll keep things tidy, clean as needed, and secure, and send you regular pictures and updates. I want you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing that both your babies and your home are being genuinely cared for. 🐾
About: Every time I'm sitting for a dog I love to take them to the park and play, nap, eat treats! I'm very in tune with different personalities and take that into consideration with how to communicate with your dog. I'm very flexible with schedules and am always free during the daytime. The reason I am interested in pet sitting and walking is because I am not able to have my own furry friend but love doggies. When you choose me as your pet sitter I can handle anything you need; puppies, teen dogs, and senior pups so giving medicine isn't an issue but if something is wrong I know to call the vet as well as you. I am also open to overnights and long stays.
“Kelly was fantastic with house sitting my 2 dogs. She kept in contact, sending pictures and keeping us updated in their day which I really appreciated. Will absolutely book with Kelly again.”

“Asia has been PHENOMENAL. My dog is clearly obsessed with her, which helps ease the guilt of leaving. Asia checked in with me every day with adorable photos, and the place was cleaner than I left it, I’m pretty sure!”

“Molly took care of my senior and 3 yo huskies for 5 days and did a great job; I plan to ask her to help again in the future. She walked them according to what we agreed and they seemed healthy and happy upon my return. Her updates included pics, and she told me when she was "accepted into the pack" when my dog decided to sleep on the bed with her. Thanks Molly!”

About: I have volunteered for Zeus's Rescues walking dogs for three years. I previously owned two shetland sheepdogs for several years! There is nothing, absolutely nothing, in this world that is better than spoiling a dog or having extended playtime with a dog or pet. I am always reachable, overly communicative, and reliable in an emergency. My schedule is very open right now and I expect to be working part time soon. I look forward to communicating with you and your pet about your schedule and your needs. I can comfortably handle any breed or any size pet! I am offering dog walking, drop in visits for your pet, and house sitting. I am comfortable with and proficient at: measuring and feeding the proper amount of food, making sure your pets stay hydrated, administering the right amount of medication, taking care of your home while you're away, (I'm a homeowner myself,) playing with your pet, tiring out your pet, reducing your pet's stress, giving love and affection to your pet, and taking your pet to the vet in the event of an emergency.

Shelby took great care of my pups when I was away! She provided photos/updates, administered medication daily, and made sure my anxious boy was set during storms. Came back to well-loved pups and a house just as neat as I left it! Will for sure be booking Shelby again.

Sheer magic! We had to leave for three days after moving to a new town, and Deana fully won over our sensitive girl. We came back to a tidy home and a happy dog. We’ve left out with other people before and she’s been clingy when we got home. Not this time - she was really happy to see us, but quickly turned her attention to other things. 🙏

Zoe is amazing! She’s super friendly, and knew the way to my girls’ hearts. She made sure to give them plenty of snuggles and made them feel comfortable even for the first time meeting them. She sent lots of updates and photos, which helped me overcome leaving them with someone new. I will definitely be reaching out to Zoe in the future for any sitting or drop in needs I have.

Caitlin stayed at our home to take care of our older dog for eight nights, and she did a five-star plus job. As always, she excelled at keeping us updated throughout her stay, which gave us total peace of mind. Our dog absolutely loves Caitlin and was completely comfortable with her the entire time. Caitlin also kept our gardens watered and feed the birds for us. We returned to find our house in excellent condition—cleaner than how we left it! We highly recommend Caitlin to anyone looking for top-tier care for their four-legged babies.
She has watched my dog several times now - from occasional pop ins for feeds and pets to doing overnights while I am working out of state. I trust her with not only my sweet fur nugget but also my home while away. She's trustworthy and friendly and communicates with images during her appointments. Highly recommend.

Khalifa was absolutely amazing. She was very understanding and accommodating—she helped a ton when I made some scheduling and booking mistakes (don’t be like me). Most importantly, she made our pup feel at home at gave him lots of love. She’s an excellent caretaker. 100% recommend.

Caroline was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of Jasper, Max, and Stella and gave us total peace of mind while we were away. On top of that, we came home to a house that was even cleaner than when we left it. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone!

Sarah is amazing… She walked in and could read the personalities of each one of our dogs within one minute of meeting them. She is clearly an animal lover and will take great care of your home and your pets. One of the best we’ve ever had! Thank you so much Sarah for watching our pups!!
