“Heather is wonderful! We have an anxious reactive dog and Heather was understanding of her needs and was patient as she warmed up. Heather is very communicative and is a great caretaker! Thank you Heather!”


“Haley was a wonderful caretaker for our two cats! We got plenty of updates and pictures. Both cats took to her immediately and soon they were playing and making biscuits 🥰. We appreciate the time she spent getting to know them and would definitely book again!”


About: I have had dogs all my life and love taking care of them. We have 3 dogs at home who are all super friendly. I’ve been helping take care of them since I was 7 years old so I have a lot of experience. I’m a college student home for the summer. I am currently working part time in a restaurant so I have a lot of free time to walk dogs, check-in on them, etc. We have fenced in area out back and an area in front that is not fenced in. I have three dogs and two of them we can let go outside without a fence or leash but the third runs so we always put him on a leash or in the fenced in area. We have plenty of dog beds, toys, and treats.

About: I have a long history caring for animals! I’ve worked with and cared for animals since I was six years old. I began training horses and dogs when I was eleven, and have continued to ever since. I have 2 dogs, a horse and a cat of my own. I’ve owned animals my whole life, never having the house without at least 3 dogs or cats at a time. I run and walk frequently and am happy to bring your pet along, but I’m also happy to stay in with a cat! I’ve cared for family and friend pets, and I’m able to provide all typical pet care and medication administration. I’m currently home from college, so I’m free almost any time! I’m happy to work with you and come up with a schedule that meets you and your pets needs. I’m incredibly mindful of your animals disposition, and any specifications you may have concerning the need of your pet! I’m able to drive to a clients home for sitting.

About: I worked in an exotic vet hospital for 7 years which is also a wildlife rehab facility. Prior to that I have raised and cared for animals of all species of my own my whole life. Whether fury, feather, scales, or more I love just about every living being & critter. I will care for your pets like they were my own. *Making a note that poisonous/venomous or illegal animals are not acceptable or allowed. I have experience with reptiles like geckos, bearded dragons like my own, iguanas, turtles, birds of all shapes, color, and sizes, some farm animals, ferrets, guinea pigs, hamsters, rabbits, and things of the like. Animals that are venomous or harmful are excluded.* I care for and hang out with my fur babies, but there's plenty of room and time for more friendly faces. I work hard so my pets can have a good life. 😂 I frequently walk my dogs and can take yours around the neighborhood as well, lots of dog toys, pats and belly rubs, and can crate your pup if needed. Im also willing to help with some trainings and house breaking if requested.

“Julia was fantastic - she was communicative, responsive, flexible, and my pets adored her. I can't recommend her enough and will absolutely be asking her to watch my pets again in the future.”


“Christiana was amazing .. she took such good care of my pups. She checked in with me with all the details and was so loving and understanding with them. I will absolutely hope to see her come back Thank you so much Christiana.”


About: I have been dog sitting and housesitting for the past five years. I have a lot of experience in senior animals as well as animals with special needs. I am very reliable, respectful, and understanding when it comes to housesitting and pet sitting. I have a lot of experience and will always try to accommodate you and your animals the best that I possibly can! I am currently looking for colleges as a graduate of a dual enrollment program! I graduated in 2022 with a high school diploma along with an associate’s degree in undecided! I have a total open schedule when it comes to pet sitting! I will always make it my number one priority to make sure your animals feel safe and comfortable with me. Being away from owners can be stressful enough, that’s why I always make sure they are happy and comfortable while missing you! Any rules you ask of me to follow, will be followed! I am very understanding and very open to just about anything. :)

“I was really worried about leaving my dog at home while I went on a business trip. Emily filled in last minute and served as a wonderful caretaker for my dog (which is a border collie). Emily made me feel so comfortable during this process. She was just wonderful with my dog. So reliable. So kind and caring. Highly recommended.”


“Rebecca was great! She was very thorough taking care of my dog Mabel who is a 140 lb English Mastiff. She sent pictures and updates of her visits. I could tell that Mabel was very comfortable with her and was a happy dog. I would highly recommend her for dog sitting, and walking, or any pet care for that matter.”

About: I work at home and have time to make sure all of your pets needs are met.

My sister and I live in a stand alone home with a large yard for animals to play in, and a lot of space in the home. Our home abuts conservation land with lots of trails for walking and playing. I would be honored to care for your animal companions, and can ensure they will be safe and happy during their time with me :) I work from home and have alot of flexibility with my job so I can ensure your animal companion will have my full attention throughout the day, including walks, and hikes if desired!

About: I've lived with dogs my whole life. I absolutely love animals and was given responsibilities to help care for our dogs pretty young.

In my home, I provide consistent daily care, including feeding, watering, and maintaining a safe, nurturing environment. I observe each pet’s behavior closely, as I believe behavior is communication, allowing me to understand their needs and spot potential issues. I create a pet-friendly space by minimizing hazards, using pet-safe products, and enforcing boundaries like keeping cats off counters. When caring for pets in clients’ homes, I recognize they are part of the family and tailor my approach to their specific needs. I ask detailed questions to understand routines and boundaries, ensuring the pet feels comfortable and secure.
