About: Leaving your four legged loved ones at home when you go on vacation is never easy. I strive to make sure they feel cared for and loved while you are away so you don't need to worry! I have over 18 years experience caring for animals of my own, rescue fosters, and shelter animals, and caring for others' pets while they are away. I am a lifelong animal lover with experience with cats, dogs, and small animals like ferrets, guinea pigs, hamsters, mice, chickens, and more. I have cats and dogs of my own currently. Whether you are looking for a dog walker, a drop-in pet sitter, or a comfortable place to board your four-legged (or more or less) family members, I can be of service to you. I live in a single family home with a fully fenced in backyard, and a separate dedicated nicely sized bedroom dedicate to boarding. Whether I'm housing your pets or visiting your home, my goal is always to make them as comfortable and as happy as possible! I am currently working part-time from home. I am available for boarding, walking, and drop-ins, on a relatively flexible schedule. I am also offering sitter pick-ups and drop-offs as a boarding add-on. My style of pet care is catering to their needs and your desires. I have experience with shy, rowdy, low-energy, and other types of personalities. Each pet and each situation requires a unique approach.

“All three of our animals adored Sierra. She’s our favorite pet sitter. She’s professional, communicative, punctual, and definitely loves animals.”

“Gabriela did a fantastic job with our senior cat while we were away. Our cat is very sensitive and we were worried about leaving him but returned home to find him well cared for and very content. Gabriela kept us feeling at ease with daily updates and was easy to communicate with from the start. We had an excellent experience with Gabriela and absolutely recommend her!”

“Aaron took such great care of Reggie again! Being away for a long weekend can be hard on Reggie, but Aaron really made sure he felt comfortable—taking him to all his favorite spots and spending extra quality time with him. On top of looking after Reggie, Aaron kept an eye on my home as well, which I really appreciate. Always thoughtful, thorough, and communicative—it's such a relief knowing things are in good hands when I'm away!”

About: I have over 13 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and various other animals, including daily feeding, grooming, training, and keeping pets happy, healthy, and active. As a full-time college student, I find it important to disconnect from school, destress, and relax — and caring for pets is one of my favorite ways to do that. Additionally, with most of my classes being in the morning, I'll have plenty of time in the evening to say hello! As someone who lives in an apartment, I have found that it is important to keep my animals both physically active, mentally stimulated, and well-groomed.

About: Any animal I care for I look at as my own family member because thats what they are. I will care for and love them and defend them. I have never had my own pet, but I have lots of experience with pets from friends who have had pets and I have cared for and interacted with them. I have an open schedule. I am currently unemployed and can take bookings on short notice. I'm also available during most mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I will take care of their basic needs such as food and water. Also making sure to give them plenty of attention and playtime to ensure that they are loved and cared for :)

“Emilia was great with our 2 cats for 10 that we were gone out of state. I even messed up one of the days that I needed her to come and didn't book her, but fortunately she was able to go by to feed and check on them anyway, which was so great. She was available in a pinch and I'm so grateful we booked with her. Will absolutely book with Emilia in the future!”

“One year ago we decided to give Rover a try and were lucky enough to find Jeff. He has been wonderful to work with. Always flexible, reliable, and great communication! He genuinely cares about what he does and we could not be more grateful for a fabulous year of great care with lots of love for our big guy!”

About: I have had at least two pets in my household my entire life so I am very comfortable around them and I love taking care of them! I currently work part time at Ulta Beauty so my schedule does change weekly. However, I am generally open in the mornings and later in the evenings and have on average 2-3 days off a week. I am also enrolled in an online Master’s Degree program that will start in August but I am able to work on that around my work schedule! Safe and enjoyable walks are provided, creating a positive and trusting experience for dogs and you, their owner! Safety is prioritized by using appropriate equipment like secure harnesses and sturdy leashes, remaining aware of surroundings, and avoiding potential dangers such as traffic or unleashed animals. Building trust happens through clear communication and respectful interactions. Comfort and well-being are prioritized on every walk, adapting to your pets individual needs and pace. Environmental responsibility is also a priority, with waste picked up and disposed of properly, contributing to a clean and enjoyable experience for everyone!

About: Hi, I’m Elizabeth — a full-time, work-from-home dog mom living in a beautiful, wooded setting with trails right outside our door. Dogs in my care enjoy fresh air, frequent walks, and a calm, loving home environment. I’m outside with the pups multiple times a day — whether it’s structured exercise, supervised playtime, or a slow sniff-and-stroll for our senior friends. We have a sweet, social 2-year-old Standard Poodle who gets along with everyone — from rambunctious puppies to mellow old souls. My husband also works from home, which means your dog will never be left alone and always has an extra set of hands. I have experience with all ages and stages — from crate training curious puppies to providing gentle support for older dogs and administering medications (oral and topical). I follow feeding and care routines to the letter, and I’m always happy to provide updates, pics, or videos so you can relax knowing your pup is safe, happy, and loved. Whether you’re planning a vacation or just need a reliable day-to-day helping hand, I treat every dog like one of my own — with patience, play, and a whole lot of love. I work from home full-time, so I’m with the dogs all day — not just “checking in,” but truly present. We go on multiple walks each day, explore nearby trails, and take plenty of breaks for play, snuggles, and outside time. My own dog thrives with this routine, and I love extending that same level of care to the pets I host. Whether it’s managing medications, reinforcing training, or simply being a calm, consistent presence, pet care is a natural and joyful part of my everyday life. In my home, pets are treated like family. I maintain a calm, structured, and loving environment with plenty of time outdoors I follow your pet’s routines closely: feeding schedules, meds, crate time, and any house rules you use at home. Dogs are never left alone for more than a few hours (both my husband and I work from home), and we keep a close eye on how everyone’s adjusting — especially first-timers, puppies, or older pets who need extra support.

“Came home to a happy healthy cat. Holly went above and beyond!”

“Norah was the best! Met us before hand and took excellent care of our cat who is not always super friendly with new people. Look no further and book Norah.”

About: I had a few dogs growing up (a cairn terrior and a yellow lab) and have been dog sitting for the last 6 years off and on from anywhere from a few hours up to 3 months. I work from home Mondays and Thursdays and have a typical 8-430 schedule. My significant other, Jake, has a flexible schedule as well for drop off/pick up times. While working from home I am available to take doggos on walks/runs and play! For days that I am in the office, I am able to run home on lunch for potty breaks if the doggo needs! I have a house with a large yard. While it is not fenced in, there is plenty of room to run and play on our 30 ft cable. I have a 12 year old son who loves to play with and love on doggies. I live near a lake and a park with a swimming beach if your doggo likes swimming! (I am more than happy to gives baths as well) I will also take lots of photos and have open communication so that owners can know their furbabies are having fun and in good hands!

About: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember, when I was 12 I even tried to get a job at a vets office! Now that I'm old enough, I do have a part-time job as a customer service representative at a vets office as I complete my Animal Science degree on the pre-veterinary track. I have experience assisting people with basic care of their animals and through this job also know how to react calmly and quickly in emergency situations. I have spent years helping friends and family care for their dogs and am looking to help others now as well! I do triathlons as well, so am well prepared to help anyone with their high energy dogs that need long walks! I am currently a college student home for summer break and am looking for a way to fill my day while doing the things I love: being active and spending time with animals! My schedule right now is very flexible which allows me to easily work with those who have busy days and need help! I care for all pets by always going at their pace, creating a calm and comfortable environment where they feel safe and relaxed. This is something that is very important where I work and I carry this into all my interactions with animals. I pay close attention to their body language and behavior to try to understand how they're feeling and what they need. I focus on building trust, maintaining routines that they have set. My main priority is making your pet feel safe and comfortable while you are away.

“Bailey took wonderful care of our amazing doggos while we were on vacation last week, and we would highly recommend her for anyone needing drop in care. It put our mind at ease knowing that she was taking such good care of our babies, and that our elderly dog could stay in the comfort of her own home. Thanks soooo much Bailey!”

About: I grew up walking dogs in the neighborhood, am employed at Puppy Yoga, and had a sensitive pup of my own named Daisy! Family, friends, and employers have relied on me to take good care of their pets for years. I graduated college in May and have the summer off from work, so my schedule is very open during the week! Until August, I will be available most hours of the day. I have no dogs at home, a large yard to play in, and live nearby forested walking trails. My home is well-suited for dogs of all ages!
