“This was our first time having someone we didn’t know watch our pups. Elizabeth put our minds at ease so we could enjoy some time away by how professional, caring, and thorough she was with the dogs. She kept up up to date, but wasn’t over the top about it at all, and walked, played with, and fed them on time every day. We could not have been happier and will definitely use her again!”
“Deja is the best!! She watched our two crazy pups and was so positive and kind. She was responsive and helpful. We loved working with her and hope she’ll come back many more times. Thanks Deja!”
“I recently used Alicia for the first time, but it certainly will be the last! She took care of my dog and two cats for a week. My dog is a rescue who can be nervous around new people, but Sadie warmed up to her, and Alicia sent me lots of pictures of the cats on her lap, and Sadie sitting right next to her. That’s all I needed to know to know Alicia was great at what she does. The house was clean when I returned home, and everyone was happy. I highly recommend!”
About: I have been around animals all my life. I have always done very well with dogs and have been taking care of my own, my family’s, and my friend’s dogs for as long as I can remember. I can handle all sorts. I am an active individual and do great with dogs that like to play or go for walks. My availability often varies. I work full time 8AM-4PM everyday of the week, but have time in the afternoons to see dogs. I am up through the night and can do appointments in the night as well. My weekends are typically free for appointments. I am a very attentive care giver. I will tend to all of your dog’s needs and pay close attention to their behaviors. I am good at following schedules and instructions. I am great at keeping dogs entertained and helping to get some energy let out. I am active and can take dogs for any length of a walk and play with them for however long is needed. I am able to handle all types of dogs.
About: I had a cat from the time I was 3 to 17. She passed away unfortunately but I grew up taking care of her and of other family members pets as well. I’m currently on summer break.

I also have a spacious house and will plan accordingly to any requested information and wishes for your pets.
“Heather was wonderful with our senior dog, Pippin. Though he doesn't have a complex routine to follow, he's a quirky guy that likes to be VERY close to his person, is forgetful, and sometimes barky due to his age. Heather "got" Pippin right away. We felt she genuinely understood his habits and his singular approach to life. Heather sent just the right amount of updates and photos. Pippin was in good hands with Heather. We are very grateful to her and highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for a little over 5 years. I have my current dog and dog sat for family and friends. I’m entrusted to feed, walk, play and bathe (if necessary) their dogs when they have come over or if I go over to their house. My current dog takes medicine as needed (pill form) so always willing to give medicine to a dog. I work full time as a nurse, but on night shift and only 3-12s. If you were to book with me, I’d make sure I didn’t have work the nights you are booking with me. My schedule is flexible. I care for your pets like my own and my goodness my dog is spoiled. Dogs at my house are allowed on all furniture, negate tables, and will be treated like they are my own. I have a fenced in yard and dog door that allows them to be able to go in and out at their leisure or I’ll take out as much as needed. Treats (if your dog is allowed or they aren’t on a specific weight loss or diet plan) are always given. Meds , if needed for your dog will be given on a timely basis.
About: Tell your dog I said hi!!! I have taken care of pets since I was 10. My family and friends rely on me regularly to keep their homes and animals safe! I am in between jobs right now, so I have all the time to care for your loved ones and can stay at your home during the day if wanted! I unfortunately can't have pets at my apartment but dog sitting is a way to get my pet snuggles in! You'll receive cute pet pictures if you want as well! I would come to your home and meet your pets first and familiarize their routine with you before you leave. Very open with communication for your needs.
“What an awesome experience! Aydan took great care of my senior cat and kept me informed of how he was doing while I was away. It was such a relief to know he was safe and well-cared for, and got lots of cuddles! Highly recommended.”
About: Hello! I have been dog sitting for about 5 years as well as have owned pets my entire life. I do not mind staying at your home to watch your pet or even just stopping by during the day to let them go outside. I will take care of mainly any animal as well as farm animals if you have them! I currently have a per diem job as a CNA which means I make my work schedule on a week to week basis. I have no other obligations at this time so, taking care of your pet would be my first priority! When coming to your home, I will take your dog outside based on how you tell me. No matter what, I will be staying outside with the animal just to ensure nothing happens. I don’t mind taking them for walks or even to a park as long as you are okay with it. I will ensure they have food and access to clean water. And if it’s a cat, that the litter box is cleaned regularly. Your pets will have lots of play when they are in my care. I will look at your pet like it’s my own!
“We had a great experience with Hailly as our pet sitter! It was our first time leaving our dog alone since we relocated to the area so we were nervous about leaving her in a new home with a new sitter. Hailly kept us updated and sent lots of pics and Zsa Zsa did great. We would definitely hire Hailly again.”
“Kenzie was the most amazing dog sitter for our 2 puppies. She was there when she said she would be and always keep me in the loop with what was going on.

I can only hope I am able to have her dog sitter for many years into the future.”
