“Was great with handling my dog when she was nervous and had never met Chase. Wouldnt feel more comfortable with anyone else watching my dog after that and I will be using Chase in the future.”


“Jayleene was a huge relief for us going on vacation and leaving our cats. She updated us both visits when she got there. We have one cat that doesn’t really care to be social and our other one is the social butterfly. Her son came along and in the photos, he looked so happy and Mikasa was being so sweet with him. Thank you so much. Will definitely be using her services again!”


About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and the care I put into making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and needs — whether that’s slow strolls, energetic playtime, or quiet companionship. I’m dependable, communicative, and always respectful of your home and your pet’s routine. My goal is to build trust with both you and your furry family member. I am currently working very part time on the weekends, while also expecting a new baby boy here in November! I am free all day every weekday! While weekends are up for debate! When caring for pets in my client’s home, I always treat the space with the same respect I’d want for my own. I follow your instructions closely to keep your pet on their usual routine and make sure they feel safe and secure in their familiar environment. I keep a calm, positive energy to help pets feel at ease and never rush through walks or visits. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority — whether that’s keeping them hydrated, cleaning up after them, or making sure they’re never left unsupervised outside. I also stay in touch with regular updates and photos, so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: We are two roommates that specialize in different areas of pet care, between the both of us we're sure to have what you need! :) Owner one: I've had Cats for my entire life. Littlest newborns, reckless Kittens, lethargic but sweet seniors, special needs Kitties, and even cats that don't react well to others. I've been around Cats since before I can remember, and I've cared for up to 8 at a time. Among my most inclusive, I've cared for diabetic cats, seniors (10-20 year olds), Cats with pica, and hypothermic Kittens. I've administered medicine by mouth and as an injection. No matter the situation, I believe that the most important thing is communication and quality care. Your fur baby will be taken care of as if they were our own when they're here. As a Cat owner myself I understand that Cats are curious creatures, which is why our house is completely Cat safe. Our house has lots of windows, which are perfect for bird watching! We also include a catio for the lovely little ones to experience time outside in a safe and controlled manner. Owner two: I've had Dogs my entire life from Dog sizes of Chihuahuas to Great Danes and all inbetween. I've had short and long haired Dogs so daily Grooming is available for Double Coated dogs. I have experience with New Born Puppies to 18+ Elderly Dogs. We have a closed in Yard and a room open for your Dog to sleep comfortably inside at night. I've trained each Dogs I've owned and walk my own daily. I have experience with trouble making dogs and snappy ones. No attitude is to much for me. Dogs that need a special diet are all no problem we can separate and make fresh foods if requested. I know how to give medication threw mouth or syringe. Farm Animal Care. I've lived on a farm my entire life and do well with Chickens, Rabbits, Goats, Ducks, Turkeys, and Pigs. Reptile Care. I've had experience with multiple retiles I've taken care of Snakes and own several lizards who eat Live Food or need fresh produce. Owner one: I wake up every morning at around 7am, and do a bit of cleaning/remote work. Around 8:45 I start making the cats breakfast. Their breakfast is half a can of tiki cat, made by nacho chicken broth, Instinct digestive blend food topper, salmon oil, a freeze dried fish treat, and extra water for hydration. They eat in bowls that prevent whisker fatigue. Then we supervise play time as they run around the house. at around 12:30 they have a lunch of nutrish dry food with chicken broth for added hydration. Then they go out to the catio for some outside enrichment, before coming back in before it gets too hot. They have a soupy snack (Broth, water, and salmon oil) before running around the house some more. At around 6pm they have dinner, which is a repeat of breakfast with more dry food. Then we refill their bowls with dry food to make sure they eat enough. Then, after running around until 10pm it's finally time to send them to bed. We do have an alternate schedule for the days that we're taking care of other animals, so your little ones would be able to do the same things! All of our time is spent with our animals, they would never be unsupervised. Our cats would not be interacting with your pets unless otherwise specified. 🥰 Owner two: For our dog I wake up around 7AM each morning to take them out to use the bathroom. Around 8AM I come back and feed them a mix of dry food and fresh food. After there meal they get another bathroom break. They stay inside most the day unless they ask to go out. If not I will take them outside at 12PM, 3PM, 6PM. After 6PM ill make there dinner of the same mix of food. There usual walk times are in the mornings and sunset. Those times can vary to your pet. Our dog won't be interacting with your pet unless otherwise specified. Owner one: So in our home your pets care would be the same as our pets care, just at seperate times. We would supervise them at all times, but they would be able to run around with free roam of the house and catio. Everything in our house is cat proof, and we have lots of windows (that don't open) that our cats love to watch out of. They would always be busy, and if they weren't, they would have plenty of comfortable sleeping places. As for drop ins or other services in your home, we would have to be flexible and adjust based on your cats schedule. We can stick to a schedule, or just hang out and play/find something to keep them occupied. Depending on the pet and situation, obviously our care protocols are going to be different, we'll learn what makes your cat comfortable and stick to it. ❤️ Owner two: In our home your dog will be treated as our own they'll get their own room and attention we will play with them spend time with them walk and feed all depending on the individual pet. In our home the dog will have a yard to freely run around in (supervised of course) For dog walking we'd use the leash and collar you provide. If walking with a harness I prefer a second leash on the dogs collar incase of an emergency. In your home I'll adjust to your schedule we are very flexible and are available for check ins at any time of the day through morning, evening and night.

About: Dogs aren’t just pets, they’re family, and that’s exactly how I treat them! 🐶 What makes me different? I’ve worked with all kinds of dogs: zoomy puppies learning the ropes, older dogs who love a slow walk and a warm nap, and everything in between. I’m great at reading their moods, sticking to routines, and making sure they feel safe and loved. I’ve even taught a few pups how to sit, stay, and give high fives! 🐾 Fun fact: I never start my day without a walk; so your pup will get plenty of outdoor time and belly rubs too. Whether it’s fetch, cuddle time, or just quiet companionship, I’ve got it covered. Caring for pets is part of my everyday life, it’s not just a job, it’s something I genuinely enjoy! I work from home, so I have the flexibility to give pups plenty of attention throughout the day. Morning walks are my favorite way to start the day (coffee + leash = perfect combo ☕🐾), and we usually sneak in some playtime or cuddles during my breaks. I stick to their routines: meals, meds, naps, belly rubs; you name it. And fun fact: I’ve mastered the art of one-handed typing while giving head scratches! Whether it’s a weekend full of fetch or a quiet weekday snuggle session, dogs fit naturally into my lifestyle and bring so much joy to my days. Whether your dog is hanging out at my place or I’m coming to yours, my goal is always the same: keep them happy, comfy, and stress-free. At my home, pups get a cozy setup with their own chill zone, lots of toys, and all the belly rubs they can handle. I keep their routine just like yours, same walk times, meal schedule, and even little habits like a favorite blanket or bedtime treat. (Fun fact: I’ve had dogs who prefer lullabies to fall asleep, happy to sing if needed! 🎶🐶) When I care for pets in their own home, I follow your instructions to the letter so they stay in their comfort zone. I’m super respectful of your space, and I always send updates with cute pics or funny moments, because who doesn’t love a midday smile from their dog? Every pup has their own personality, and I love getting to know what makes them tick: whether it’s chasing tennis balls or just being a couch potato buddy.

About: when I was 15 I would take my neighbors dog for walks and bathe her she was the sweetest thing ever now I take care of my moms dog I currently don’t have a job so my schedule is flexible I am available 24/7 if you need a dog sitter I’m the one to call preferably after 12pm thanks ! I have a lot of time on my hands so I will give your dog the attention they deserve I will keep them company and crate them if needed and I will apply any other instructions you may have for me

About: I have been training my own hunting dogs for trials and obedience the past 10 years and have come to realize what I enjoy most is watching the dogs learn whatever is being trained and then exceed expectations like no other. I work Monday-Thursday I’m available after 4 pm to train or do drop in visits on those days as for the rest of the week I’m available most of the time. I’m used to dogs not having a fence so I am not bothered by no enclosures or fenced yards. My dogs have all been openly able to walk around and do their business without needing leashes but I am very observant of the dogs and each different situation some dogs may be better on lead it all depends!

About: Hello! My name is Sadie. I’m a 25 year old dog mom of Teddy & Honey (pomeranian & a golden retriever) Between those two I have about 8 years of experience working with dogs personally & 3 years of experience professionally. i used to work at a doggy day care & hotel for 3 years and absolutely loved it. i have come into contact with almost every breed you can imagine and know how to handle pretty much any size dog. They are my passion and I enjoy working with them very much. I currently work from home so i am pretty flexible with hours/times. •dog walking- I will walk your dog for about 30 min-1 hour depending on the type of breed and/or owner’s requests. •drop in visits- I will go to your home several times a day to check in on your dog to refill food/water and take him out for walks and/or the restroom. i work remote full time and my job is pretty flexible with my hours. Thankfully because of that i’m able to spend quality time with my pups & looking to care for other pups as well who’s owners need while on vacay or incase of an emergency. i always treat each fur baby & client’s home as if it were my own with the upmost affection, love, care & respect as well as being extremely diligent & thorough. the fur baby’s safety & well being is always my #1 priority.

About: I have always loved pets. I have often pet sat for my friends or family. I owned my first dog at 13. I trained her myself as well as groom her myself. I would consider her my baby. Training my own dog has given me a better understanding of them and a greater respect for them. I recently adopted a new big puppy which has better equipped me for caring for dog's with various personalities since she required much different training than my older little dog. I enjoy getting to know pets with different personalities and loving on them. If you trust me with your pet, I will treat him/her as my own. Pet sitting works great with my schedule because I am a full time teacher so I have all summer to love on your pet while you are away. I am fully able to stay at your house if need be to pet sit. My roommate takes care of my two fur babies while I am away. Also, I am able to bring your pet to my apartment with my two dogs who love other animals. My apartment is next to a big park and has a huge dog park for exercise. I am flexible with the needs of my clients.

“Sharon was able to meet all commitments, and our puppy was happy everyday when we got back home. Sharon was able to feed and walk him, and provided daily photos. I would definitely have Sharon come over to watch my puppy anyway.”


“Bria is excellent with shy and skittish dogs. My girls did not run and hide when she came by, which is highly unusual. I had no qualms about leaving my babies with Bria and if she is available next time, I’ll hire her again!”

Sadie M.
“Sadie is seriously the most caring and loving person I know to her Pom Teddy! She is often playfully teased at how spoiled she has him in every sense. Especially affectionately and materialistically. She has also worked with many dogs due to her job experience at a doggie day care and grooming facility. She is genuinely caring to every pet she meets!!”


Gabrielle S.
“I live on a ranch with very energetic working dogs, used to getting a great deal of exercise. Several years ago I had an accident that left me unable to give the dogs the attention they needed. Gabrielle Schlitzkus came up regularly and would give them the attention and exercise they needed. Tirelessly. My dogs loved her! She was also firm with them, which is just as important as the exercise. During that season, Gabrielle got a dog of her own. A puppy of a small "lap breed." It was a true joy, watching her raise that pup. Her love and affection for the dog was heartwarming. At the same time, she raised her to be well mannered and a "good citizen." Gabrielle made sure the dog was gentle and easy to be around, good about her food and aware of the people around her. The dog, Brooke, is now around 7 years old and a great little dog. She brings her to my home occasionally and she's very good with other dogs. A testimony to Gabrielle's canine management. I'd strongly recommend her.”

Stephanie K.
“I am happy to give a full hearted recommendation for Stephanie and her ability to work well with all types of animals. Since I have known her (14 years) Stephanie displayed a strong connection with all types of animals. Her first job was with a veterinarian practice where she devoted her after school hours to the animals that were left in her care. She did this for approximately 6 years (not including her volunteer time). She is a patient, trustworthy, and has a strong love for animals. I highly recommend her services for anyone who is away or in need of extra help with their pets. ”
