“Rachel did a fabulous job taking care of our dog while we were at my daughter's graduation. We didn't have to worry about a thing while we were gone. Thanks, Rachel!”
“Eric has been sitting my 3 y/o rescue Beagle, Walter, for a few months now, to help with his separation anxiety. Eric is great -- not only is he understanding and knowledgeable of Walter's special needs, such as his fear of men and new situations, among other things, he's made some very helpful suggestions that have helped with Walter's anxiety. He is trustworthy, kind and reliable, and I would highly recommend him to anyone; you can rest easy knowing your pets are under Eric's care.”
“Thanks to Jennifer, we went away for the weekend and didn’t have to worry ONCE about our dog or our apartment! She gave us plenty of updates and photos, and was so caring toward our pup—infact she even went above and beyond and got her a ball since we had mentioned ours went missing recently. How thoughtful! Honey was so happy and calm when we returned. Thank you Jennifer!!”
“Chelsea took as good care of Lucy as we do ourselves. Lucy was excited to see us, but not over the top because she received so much attention from Chelsea while we were away.”
About: I've always had a deep love for animals, specifically dogs! I have a toy poodle myself that I take care of every day. From daily walks to feeding, my pup is well cared for! Caring for an animal is more than physical demands; it requires the fostering of trust between the animal and sitter, a skill that I am more than passionate about :) I currently have open full-time availability, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I can provide mid-day dog walks and drop-in visits My clients will receive detailed updates after every visit, and I will follow every rule requested. I am respectful of my clients' properties and care about the well-being of their pets. For example, I will make sure to check if the pavement is too hot for the pet and ensure that sufficient water is provided on hot summer days.
“Holly is great! She’s so kind, caring, and understanding. I had the opportunity to puppy sit for Milton. Milton is wild and crazy and she was nothing but calm and amazing energy. Holly will definitely be my go-to sitter/ walker. Thank you, Holly!”
“Cam did a great job with my anxious 3 year old pup! I’ve never seen my dog be so comfortable and at ease with a new person during a first meeting as he was with Cam. That made me feel at ease with my travel plans. Also Cam left my home nice and clean after dog sitting here for several days. I will be a return customer!”
“Joiee did a great job watching our two dogs overnight in our home. We just moved to the area and it was stressful having to find a new dog sitter but was a big relief to find Joiee and know our dogs were well cared for. Thank you!”

Whether your pet needs an energetic walk, lots of playtime, or a calm companion, I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m a college student with a flexible summer schedule and plenty of time to devote to your pets. I’m available most weekday mornings and almost all weekends for drop-in visits, walks, and pet sitting. I’m reliable, responsive, and committed to making sure your pets receive the attention, exercise, and care they need while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities.

“Julie-Anne has always been wonderful with our dog, and he really looks forward to seeing and staying with her! We always get loads of updates and photos throughout the stay, and come home to a very happy dog. We continue to happily use her any time we can!”
“Jacqueline took excellent care of our two goldens while we were out of the country for two weeks. I was very nervous to leave our girls for so long but she sent us photos and updates nearly every day and respected our home completely. Hire her! You won’t regret it.”
“Sam was amazing with our 2 golden retrievers! You could tell he thoroughly enjoyed being with our crazy dogs. Sam was so attentive, sent great pictures, and left our home spotless. We 100% recommend Sam for anyone who needs peace of mind that their fur babies are safe when they are traveling.”
“Tristan did a fantastic job taking care of our dog and house during an extended vacation. If you need a great, attentive, caring dog/house sitter, get Tristan if you can! He sent videos every day which were fun to see and comforted us that our dog was getting sweet attention without us.”
About: I am Cori checked, have experience working with trainers, I love to go for long walks with dogs and enjoy staying at the dog park and enjoying the sunny days! I work teaching hours and will be free when your kids are on vacation, We can go for walks and enjoy the fresh air in the backyard. It depends on the needs if they need meds but in general must feed, play, and go for walks! Have them sit next to me and cuddle!
About: I have hands-on experience caring for geriatric, diabetic, and epileptic dogs and cats, making me comfortable with special needs pets who require extra attention. I’m skilled at administering oral medications, giving insulin injections, and monitoring pets for any changes in their health or behavior. I also have plenty of experience walking dogs of all sizes—from tiny lap pups to large, energetic breeds—always focusing on their safety, comfort, and happiness. I currently work part-time as a Veterinary Assistant, which gives me hands-on experience with animal care and handling in a clinical setting. I’m also a student enrolled in an online Veterinary Technology program, so I’m always learning and expanding my knowledge about animal health and behavior. Because of my flexible schedule, I have availability on some weekdays and weekends for pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits. This allows me to combine my passion for animals with my professional training while giving pets the love and attention they deserve when their families can’t be there. Whenever I’m in a home with pets, I make it a priority to tune into their needs, read their body language, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. Every pet has their own personality—some love long walks and playtime, while others just want cuddles and belly rubs. If your pet is the snuggly type, I’m always happy to curl up with them and give all the love, scratches, and attention they need!
“Michelle took incredible care of our dog over the holiday! She followed all our instructions, sent lots of updates, and left our house in great condition. I would 100% trust her to sit again.”
“Emily gives the most excellent care and thorough updates, out of any sitter we’ve had, and we 100% recommend her—but book ahead because she always gets snatched up! Emily goes above and beyond so we have peace of mind while we are away. We came home to a happy dog and a clean house. Thanks Emily!!!”
“I wish I could give more than 5 stars! Robert went above and beyond in every way. He took our dog on multiple walks a day, sent pictures and updates, and kept in great communication the entire time. He’s incredibly easy to work with and clearly cares about animals. Our dog had the best time with him—and to top it off, Robert left our home even cleaner than when we left!”

Sara is an excellent Dogsitter. She stayed with our eight month old puppy for one week and did a great job with him. she is very caring and allowed our puppy to sleep with her in the bed at night, which meant a lot to us. She gave him lots of attention and walks and cuddles, and was able to deal with some challenging puppy behaviors and gaps in his training. She's a great communicator. She sent us lots of pictures and updates. she dealt smoothly with some curveballs we had at home during the week, including a tornado watch. Sara, an experienced dog person, gave us with invaluable feedback that will help guide us in future training. We were very pleased with her services and hope to use her again in the future.
Sam has been a reliable dog sitter for us for about 2 years now. He seems very caring to our dogs and they are happy and healthy when we get home. He’s been very understanding as we always seem to have some random, unplanned big thing happening at the house when he’s here (like a roof replacement that stranded him inside the house and an unscheduled mulch drop that we didn’t even know about). He leaves the house spotless too.
I am a CEO with high standards. I can not say enough good things about Carlos. I met him because my 15 year old Cav is on his last road and I travel a lot. Carlos was meticulous about prep and our dog's issues, meds, needs, situation, etc. He took detailed notes of our conversations and came over to meet in person before either of us committed. I just returned from Asia. Carlos texted every day I was away - with photos!! He is extraordinarily skilled at vet medicine because of his job. The dog's issues were fewer when I returned -and - Carlos had weaned him down on his meds as well. It was amazing. In addition, Carlos truly loves my dog. When I got home he had left a portrait of my dog he had taken and framed - a gift to me. Lucky to have found him!
Kelly is one of those very special people with a real passion for dogs! What a treat for our toy poodle to get to hang with her for the holiday weekend. We were totally comfortable traveling out of state knowing she was in charge. We look forward to engaging Kelly again for future travel plans. She is awesome.
