About: I've been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember, and I have experience with dogs and cats of all kinds. I have a deep respect for all animals, including those that are shy or have special needs, and I'm committed to giving every animal the care they deserve. I'm available on most weekends and holidays. I occasionally have weekdays open as my work schedule allows. I will have Fridays available for part of the summer. When introducing myself I allow the animal to approach me first, I take things slow if they're shy or nervous. I'm familiar with dog and cat body language so I can recognize signs of stress. When walking dogs I'm always aware of my surroundings and will adjust the route if I need to.

About: Trusted, Experienced Pet Care You Can Feel Good About Taking care of animals isn’t just something I do—it’s who I am. I’ve spent years volunteering at Humane Society shelters, working hands-on with dogs and cats of all temperaments, from energetic and playful to shy and anxious. That experience taught me how to make every animal feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’ve also rescued and raised my own pets—Bella (brown tabby), Nugget (orange tabby), and Mumble (Jack Russell Terrier from a kill shelter)—so I understand firsthand how important it is to trust the person caring for your animal. Over the years, I’ve gained real experience walking, feeding, and pet sitting for animals with different personalities and needs. I know how to read behavior, build trust quickly, and adjust my care to each individual pet. What sets me apart: • Calm, patient approach (great for anxious or shy pets) • Reliable, detail-oriented, and highly communicative • Experience with both dogs and cats of all sizes and energy levels • Genuine passion for animal welfare and safety I treat every pet like my own—not just making sure they’re cared for, but making sure they feel comfortable, secure, and loved while you’re away. You won’t have to wonder how your pet is doing. I provide consistent updates so you always have peace of mind. If you’re looking for someone dependable, experienced, and truly invested in your pet’s well-being, I’d love to help.

Barbara was great with communication and updates on my pup. With my return being delayed due to inclement weather Barbara proactively reached out to offer to extend her stay with my pup if needed so she could be sure that my pup was taken care of. Would recommend Barbara and will not hesitate in having her help with my pup again.

Our experience with Jessica was absolutely amazing. We were gone for a week, and she took such incredible care of our two dogs. Taking care of two dogs can be a lot, but Jessica handled everything so well and made the whole process stress-free for us She kept us updated regularly with pictures and messages, and it was clear the dogs were getting tons of love, attention, and care every single day. One of our dogs is usually cautious around new people and was completely adamant about not warming up to anyone at first but by mid week, they had become best buddies. Seeing that level of trust and comfort honestly meant so much to us. When we got home, the dogs were so happy, relaxed, and attached to her routine that it actually took them almost 10 minutes to realize we were back! That alone says everything about how comfortable and cared for they felt during the stay. We’re very grateful for the care and attention she gave our pups and would gladly trust her again in the future. Highly recommend

Merissa and Nick are stand outs! They took such great care of Comet; he can’t wait for them to come back and doggie-sit again! They are super responsive, great about sending updates/photos, and go above and beyond to make your dog comfortable and loved while you’re away! Comet had an injury at the time and, not only did they give him his medicine but also some doggie massages as a bonus! Highly recommend :)

Kevin was fantastic with Cosmo, we had scheduled him to watch Cosmo at our house for a long weekend and he took care of Cosmo and the house. He sent regular updates of the dog with images during the weekend and had let us know that his food was getting low so that we could order a new bag while we were out. I hope to schedule Kevin again in the future, he did a fantastic job.

Yesenia also did a fantastic job keeping me updated on any issues as well as sending me regular pictures and even videos of Blurry and River during her time caring for them. She followed all directions for my fur babies and was a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Yesenia to care for anyone's pets.

I left my dog Fiona in Sophie’s care for three full days, but I came home to a happy and calm dog. This is because Sophie provided care, attention, and fun. She spent time with Fiona and took her on long walks - Fiona’s favorite. I highly recommend Sophie and plan to use her again to care for Fiona.

Ayva took wonderful care of our dog, Bondi, for four days while staying at our home, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, Ayva was responsible, kind, and genuinely caring toward Bondi. It was clear that she loves animals and treats them with patience and affection. Bondi was happy, well-exercised, and calm when we returned, which says everything about the quality of care he received. Ayva followed all our instructions carefully, kept the home neat and tidy, and regularly updated us, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We felt completely comfortable leaving both our home and our beloved dog in Ayva’s care. She is trustworthy, reliable, and thoughtful,exactly the kind of person you hope to find when you need someone to look after your pet. We would highly recommend Ayva to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet-sitter and would happily ask her to help again in the future. 🐶💛

We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! From the moment she arrived, I felt completely at ease leaving Ollie in her care — and that says a lot because he’s a big boy with an even bigger personality. 😊 She was attentive and responsible. She kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which meant the world to me while I was away. It was obvious he was happy, comfortable, and well-loved the entire time she stayed at our home. She also took wonderful care of the house — everything was spotless and just as we left it. Most importantly, Ollie absolutely adored her. He was calm, content, and clearly bonded with her by the end of the stay. I would 100% book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and professional sitter. Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of our gentle giant!

Kenedy was professional, warm, and incredibly attentive, instantly putting us at ease during our vacation. Our kitties were clearly loved, well-cared-for, and happy the entire time we were away, which means everything to us. Kenedy went above and beyond in every way - following routines perfectly, providing regular updates and photos, and even helping with clearing the snow from one of the biggest and coldest winter storms in years! We were able to truly relax knowing our cats and home were in such capable hands. We would not hesitate for a second to have Kenedy sit for us again and recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking for an exceptional house and pet sitter!

Alex was an incredible sitter! He stayed with our dogs for a few days while we were out of town. He took great care of them, going above and beyond by bringing additional feeding tools and toys he thought would work well for them (thank you for introducing Oslo to a slow feeder!). He was very attentive to their needs, sent photos often, and provided frequent updates via text. Thank you so much Alex! We can't recommend him highly enough!
