About: I've been pet-sitting since I was young and have always loved spending time with animals. I also worked at a dog daycare where I gained hands-on experience with various breeds and temperaments. I learned effective training techniques for puppies and how to care for senior dogs with extra needs. Whether it's playtime, walks, or just good company, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you're away! I'm currently a student living on campus, but I’ll be available for long-term pet care starting in June. Over the summer, I’m open to dog-sitting, boarding, and house-sitting for extended periods, and I’m happy to work around your schedule to provide flexible, reliable care. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, their safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I make sure the environment is calm, clean, and pet-friendly—free of hazards and tailored to their needs and routines. I pay close attention to any instructions provided, from feeding and medication to favorite toys or walk times. I also prioritize trust and communication by keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages, so they feel confident and reassured while they’re away. Whether it’s cuddles, playtime, or just being a calming presence, I treat every pet like they’re my own.
About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats for family members for years, both large and small, and I specialize in house sitting. I am skilled at leash training and have a knack for managing high-energy dogs. I am extremely patient and have a special attachment to “problem dogs” though I love sweet dogs just as much. I am responsible, fun, and above all, reliable. I have loved animals my entire life. By the time I was 12, I had trained my dog Goldie (see profile pics) so well that to outsiders we seemed telepathic. She could follow pointing, hand gestures, snapping, or even a nod of my head. Animals are deeply important to me and it makes me happy to help others care for their pets. I am currently a graduate student preparing to become a high school English teacher. My flexible schedule makes it easy to accommodate overnight and extended house sitting. While I cannot host pets in my apartment, I am happy to care for them in your home, keep routines consistent, and give them plenty of walks to parks, neighborhoods, and trails. My graduate program schedule is fairly light. I only have one class per day for about three hours. The rest of my schoolwork is done from my laptop, which makes house-sitting ideal for me! As I live in a small apartment, I currently can't keep pets with me. However, I have a lifetime of experience with dogs and love taking them on long walks to parks, around neighborhoods, and on trails.

Joshua has a way with animals of all kinds, and I would highly recommend him as a pet caregiver!”

Bee was great with our elderly dog. She was very responsible, walked him, petted him and soothed him through his storm anxiety. We met together twice before we left, and she was extremely conscientious about all facets of his care. On our return the house looks great and our boy was sleeping to music and very relaxed. I highly recommend Bee for in home pet care.
Natalee is a highly recommend in my books! She was very detailed in her notes on how to take care of my dogs. She kept me updated on every walk and playtime which I loved. She offered to water my plants for me while I was away which no other dog sitters have ever offered. She really asked the right questions in her video chat (which sadly no other dog sitter has done either). Natalee is just really the whole package.
OMGoodness, GRACE! Please trust us when we say that Grace is truly the sweetest sitter who did an amazing job of balancing doing her online school work and giving such loving attention to our two dogs. Our little dog - who is usually very suspect of / shy around new people - instantly loved her (which seriously never happens!) and she figured out ways to help calm our old anxious dog (by going on a sniffy walk and by lovingly letting her basically paw her face off). Grace came for a quick meet and greet the day before the sit, which made everyone feel much more at ease, and that was very generous of her time. During the sit, we had some unexpected circumstances arise, and Grace was more than willing to roll with the punches and adjust parameters and timing of the sit, etc. We will most definitely be asking for Grace to be a sitter for us in the future… And you will be extremely happy to do the same, no questions asked :)
Julia was absolutely amazing, I do not have enough positive things to say! She was patient and understanding with my dog who’s a retired breeder and still learning the way of being a pet. She kept my apartment clean and respected the home! I definitely recommend her for her responsiveness and kindness! 🤎
Coral was great! We felt totally comfortable leaving our dog with her at our house for a long weekend. She checked in when she got to our house, as requested, and sent a couple photos during her time with our dog. Everything went smoothly. We'd happily have her back!
