“We were gone for a whole week and Megan did a wonderful job. Since we'd used her before, we weren't worried about Scout while gone. She's great about walking her twice a day and playing with her. Thank you for taking care of our girl!”


“I have a 1 year old high energy dog and was worried about leaving him with a sitter for the first time because he has a lot of exercise needs and we live in an apartment. Kayce took excellent care of my dog and texted me with updates frequently, which made me feel comfortable. She took special care to apply a topical medication while we were away as well. I will definitely be booking with Kayce again in the future!”


“Alexandria was great for our 100 lb Great Pyrenees Sheperd mix. She came before to meet Kai and ask questions, showed up on time and sent pictures and feedback during the dog sitting assignment. We will definitely be booking her again.”


“Lauren is amazing! She’s watched my dogs numerous times at this point and the dogs love her! She’s responsible, takes care of things around the house, ensure the dogs are having a good time and keeps me informed! Thank you always!!”


About: I’ve cared for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities—from playful puppies to gentle seniors. I specialize in giving animals individualized attention, keeping routines consistent, and making sure they feel loved and safe. Whether it’s walks, feedings, medications, or snuggles, I care for each pet as if they were my own. I’m also experienced with shy or anxious pets and work hard to make them feel at ease. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. I schedule my day around the needs of the pets in my care—whether that means morning walks, midday drop-ins, or overnight stays. I’m flexible and committed to maintaining consistent routines, which helps pets feel secure. I prioritize communication with pet owners and make sure each visit is on time and tailored to the pet’s schedule. When caring for pets in my home, I create a calm, clean, and secure environment free of hazards, with close supervision and plenty of enrichment. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely to keep pets comfortable in their familiar space. I respect the home and the pet’s routine, keep doors and gates secure, and provide regular updates so pet parents feel confident and informed. Safety and trust are at the core of how I care for every animal.

“Rachel was great with my two dogs! One of them does not always like new people but she took her time with him! She sent pictures and let me know how they were doing throughout the trip which I loved!”


About: I have always loved and cared for animals. My personal experience actually started with my first love Sancho- a rescue chi that taught me how to manage and care for a dog that had been abused and needed special attention. At the end of his life he dealt with congestive heart failure so was on several medications, and peanut butter was the only way he would take them. I also became proficient at administrating medications. Really hard to lose a pet but just makes you realize how much love they provide you. Thoughout the years I have cared for friends and family’s animals while they were out of town or housesat for them as well. My latest adventures have been with Trusted Housesitters, and the past 3 months I have been graced to travel far and wide taking care of people’s pets and homes while they were able to relax and travel themselves knowing I was keeping their house and pets safe and sound. My experience included spending time and caring for all different types of dogs and different personalities from bull terriers, mixed breeds, frenchies, sherpards down to tea cup poodles all sizes and breeds. The responsibilities included feeding, administering meds, exercising and caring for the owners pets while I was staying in their home. I truly found my passion in life caring and loving for pets. I would love the opportunity to care for your animals. I am currently very flexible with my schedule. I can stop over and feed and walk and spend time with your pets as needed. Or I can watch and take care of your pets overnight at your house just depending on your preference or needs. I can visit your home to care for your pets so they can stay in comfort of their home. I can also exercise them if needed. I can also stay overnight with your pets.

“Blaysen was very friendly and eager to earn our dogs trust at the meet and greet. She sent frequent updates and pictures of our dog to reassure us Pumpkin was doing well while we were away. She arrived on time and answers texts immediately. Because of Blaysen's caring personality and obvious love for dogs I was able to enjoy my weekend get away. I will be using her again and highly recommend her services.”


About: I love all animals. I have experience working as an animal control officer and an animal advocate in a shelter. I enjoy spending as much time with furry friends as possible. I have two dogs of my own and understand how much pets mean to a family. I'll treat your pets as my own. I promise to take good care of your loved ones and spoil them endlessly with love. I am available for dog walks, dog sitting, and dog drop ins. I am more than happy to watch large breed dogs and dogs that get the unfortunate label as "aggressive breed" dogs, as I own a German Shepherd and a Great Dane myself. I also have experience working with other animals as well (cats, bunnies, hamsters, horses, you name it!) I am currently available full time, as I have a WFH job with flexible hours. I prefer at least a week notice for longer stays, to make sure proper arrangements are made. Of course emergencies do pop up and I will do my best to be available for last minute emergency care. I have a fenced in dog run that provides sunlight, shaded areas, a pool during the summer, and a nice cot for sunbathing. I can also crate your furry friend if that is what they prefer.

“Great multi-day stay for our two dogs with Susie. An older dog and a younger dog both present different challenges and Susie handled them both well and kept us up to date on how things were going. Thanks again!”


About: I have experience with cats and dogs of many different kinds! I have taken care of both geriatric & adolescent aged animals. As well as having experience with animals who have special needs like blindness, deafness, and giving medication. I hope to meet your babies soon! I'm currently working full-time but wanting to supplement my income with jobs before and after my work hours during the week and on the weekends. PS. I will be in school starting August and will have more availability during the week then! I will not be able to provide sitting services for any pets inside of my home as I already have multiple animals like cats, dogs, chickens, and fish at my home.
