About: Hi, I’m AmberRae! I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes. I’ve grown up with all types of pets from dogs to cats, rabbits and snakes, I even had 2 rats and now a cat again. I can help reinforce basic training like sit, stay, and leash walking. I have a sweet black cat of my own, so I understand how much your pets mean to you. I’ll treat them like family whether they need playtime, cuddles, or calm, reliable care. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine! I’m already caring for my own cat every day, and I’ve always made time for walks, feeding, play, and cuddles when watching dogs or other pets. I’m organized, flexible, and genuinely enjoy making animals feel safe and loved so fitting pet care into my schedule feels like second nature. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort come first. I follow any routines or instructions you provide to keep things familiar and stress free. I always make sure pets have clean spaces, fresh water, and plenty of love and attention. I keep a calm, respectful environment and never force interactions especially with shy or anxious pets. Trust means everything to me, and I treat every home and animal with care, just like my own.

About: I have loved and tried to make friends with animals since I knew they existed. I have taken care of family members and friends animals for many years and being an animal owner myself I am well educated on their needs and body language. I currently work a part time job from 3 to 8 on week days and every other weekend so I do have a pretty tight schedule so the day I can work would be the some weekends, holidays and days I don’t have work. I don’t typically like to board animals in my own home but when I care for animals in client homes I spend a lot of time earning the animals trust and just spending time with them in general.

About: I've had rescue dogs my whole life and understand the patience, love, and consistency they need to thrive. I’m the proud dog parent of a 3-year-old Plott Hound and a 4-year-old Beagle/Pit mix—both super friendly and always up for a game of tug-of-war! Over the years, I’ve successfully potty trained, crate trained, and helped my dogs work through separation anxiety. My hands-on experience gives me a calm, confident approach with all breeds and personalities. I’ll treat your dog like one of my own in a safe, fun, and loving environment. I create my own work schedule, which allows me to dedicate focused, flexible time to pet care every day. I structure my routine around feeding, walks, playtime, and training with my two dogs. This flexibility makes it easy to welcome another dog into our routine—whether for a walk, drop-in, daycare, or boarding. I’m committed to giving every pet the attention and consistency they need to feel safe and happy. I have a fully fenced yard where your dog can safely play alongside my two friendly, playful dogs. There are plenty of toys to keep everyone entertained! I’m happy to crate your dog if needed and always follow your daily routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I believe in clear communication, so I love sending picture updates to keep you connected and reassured while your pup is in my care.

“Omg!! What an absolutely beautiful day! I got photos collages!!! COLLAGES!! Videos... i am so impressed right now. My dog were calm, smiling, having a great time outside and indoors, and i was gone all day with ZERO anxiety over it. They loved my sitter from the moment she came in for our greet. Communication was too notch and i was excited to not only know but vividly see my babies were fine and in great hands. I will be more than happy to use her services again and again.”


About: I am currently a student aspiring to be a veterinarian technician, so this would be a great experience for me and my career in the future! I love animals of all kinds and really care for them and their well-being! I’m currently a student so my schedule changes here and there but i’m mostly free! I am very communicative so if there’s ever a scheduling issue I will let you know! I will show your dog complete love and attention in the times that you are away! I’ve trained my dogs in the past and really know how to work with them!!

“Emma was a pro! A full week of looking out for our four dogs is nothing easy to ask of anyone, but she showed up for them everyday, loving and caring for them like they were her own. Coming home to happy babies gave me so much joy.”


About: For as long as I can remember, dogs have been an important part of my life. I grew up with a Maltese poodle, and helped take care of her as she grew into her senior years. Most of my family members have dogs, and we consider them as family, not just pets. Within the last year, my husband and I got a new puppy, and I'm adoring being a dog mom! With this in mind, don't be afraid to ask if I'm willing to watch your young puppy. Age is not a problem for me, and I am happy to come alongside your training process if you wish. I guarantee that your fluffy friend will be in the best of hands as you come to me for your pet-sitting needs. I will be sure to offer frequent photo updates and check-ins, and my puppy would love to come with me as I care for your pet, providing them with a new fluffy friend! I would love to make quality pet care my part-time job this summer, so I am happy to work with your schedule. I am available any day of the week except for Sundays. My routine with my own pup includes lots of exercise (to get that puppy energy out) and snuggle time too. However, I am happy to cater to your dog's age and stage of life. While walking your furry friend, I will be extra mindful and only take them on routes I know are trustworthy and safe. In your home, you can trust me with all of their needs and to be respectful of your family's space. I will send frequent updates and photos of your pet, and will do my very best to blend in with your pet's pre-established schedule, so their needs will be more than met.

About: Experienced in pet care, I excel in puppy training and senior care, providing personalized, compassionate attention to ensure every pet feels safe, loved, and well-cared for. Pet care is a top priority in my daily routine. I ensure ample time for walks, play, feeding, and any special needs, adjusting my schedule to meet each pet's requirements. In both my home and my client's home, I prioritize safety and trust by creating a secure, pet-friendly environment. I ensure pets are supervised, comfortable, and adhere to any specific care instructions. Regular updates and open communication with pet owners help build trust and ensure their peace of mind.

“Olivia was great with our German shepherd puppy! She was knowledgeable, administered her medicine with ease. We felt completely comfortable with her staying in our house and with maple! She went above and beyond with her care for our puppy. Thank you”


About: I got my first dog when I was 17 years old, his name was Tyson & he was black lab & lived to be 14 years old. We traveled everywhere together & he was my everything. I love animals so much, & there’s just something about being around them that’s so healing 💕 I’m the first friend people call if they need any animals taken care of, I’ve worked at a doggy daycare for a few years, I have plenty of experience, and I would love nothing more than to watch your fur babies. Im currently working part time. 10am-6pm 3/4 days a week. I can do walks or drops ins, before and after work if I’m scheduled that day. I rent a home with a fenced in backyard. I do currently have three dogs. (Two Chihuahua mixes and a heeler mix.) they are crate trained so if you’re more comfortable with them staying separated from your baby(ies) that is absolutely no problem, depending on the duration of the stay.

“Very communicative and flexible! Jeff kept our space extremely tidy and sent many pictures and updates on the pets! I felt good knowing they were in his care.”



“Megan is a natural with dogs. Both my dogs took an immediate liking in her which always tells me a lot. She went out of her way to accommodate them when we had to travel overseas for three weeks and even went the extra mile to come to our house to feed and check in on our cat. Thank you Megan!”



“Sarah did an amazing job with my two kitties. She was super communicative and clear on when she'd be arriving at the house and what her schedule was like. She sent tons of pictures of the cats and was super responsive when I'd text. It really helped us be less nervous on a week long vacation that we had someone responsible and nice at the house to look after the cats. I could tell by the pictures she sent that they were relaxed and happy. We will be using her again for sure! The peace of mind helped us enjoy our trip without worrying about our babies.”


“Taylor was just amazing! Even with the schedule changing at the last minute she was very accommodating and just so wonderful to work with!”


About: I’ve taken care of animals for about 3 years. This consists of feeding, walking, and overall just playing with dogs, cats, guinea pigs. I also have experience feeding dogs meds as needed. I currently do not work and am trying to save up for college and my vacation trip! So my schedule is clear for anyone who needs me. I care for pets like they are my own. I love animals so I treat them very nicely and with respect. I have never had an animal that I didn’t get along with.

“Melissa is hands down the best dog sitter I have ever had. After first messaging her, she was so polite and professional. She also worked around our schedule for a meet and greet. After meeting her, she was the nicest human being and all around great person. She immediately calmed my anxieties for leaving my sweet pup for so long. She also gave us information about herself as well as what to expect and even offered additional services (house sitting, bringing in mail, watering plants, etc.) My pup also LOVE LOVE LOVED HER. They immediately formed a close bond which is unusual for my territorial chihuahua. During our trip, she gave me pictures, updates, and videos. My pup had never been happier with a stranger playing fetch and cuddling for naps. She also stayed in the home for several hours throughout the day and spent the night just to make sure our girl was comfortable. Melissa by far exceeded all expectations and is the absolute epitome of what a dog sitter should strive to be. You are doing yourself a disservice if you don't book her for your sitting/boarding needs. A+ Highly would recommend! Will book again!!”



About: I have always loved animals, especially dogs! I am a responsible, energetic, caring person that would love to take care of your pet! Your pets are part of the family, just like mine. I have experience dog sitting small to medium sized dogs. I am not strong enough to walk or care for larger dogs (unless of course they are great on the leash walking). I do not discriminate against any kind of breeds. I have two dogs of my own that are chihuahua and chihuahua mix. I have cared for small chihuahuas to larger pit bulls. Just message me with your needs as I work part time as a dental hygienist so I will work around my hours. I, also, volunteer at a wild animal rescue where I get to care for raccoons, foxes, deer, possums, squirrels and rabbits under the supervision of a veterinarian. I love animals of all kinds! Caring for animals is a passion of mine !
