“Kristin was great with my puppy when she let him out for me a few days while I was at work. She was always prompt, on time and gave great updates from the visits. I highly recommend her!!!”
“Megan did a great job watching our 2 dogs and my daughters 2 dogs. She spent extra time with them, to make sure that they had their potty breaks and meals. She always left us a summary as to what she did, and sent us pictures with every visit. I felt very comfortable leaving our dogs in her care, and would definitely recommend her.”
“Kathleen did an amazing job! She jumped in with last second notice without hesitation and helped our boy who has limited mobility after a surgery. She was prompt and very communicative with a summary of each visit, photos, and videos. Will definitely contact Kathleen again.”

“Jennifer was amazing! She was available on short notice and managed our 3 pups brilliantly. We are definitely using her services again!!! Do NOT hesitate to book her!!”
“Lilli and Zachary were wonderfully responsible care takers for our dog and home. Lilli is a prompt, kind, and excellent communicator. Our meet and greet went well, and I could immediately sense we could trust this nice young couple. They provided wonderful care for our 10 year old dog who had never been left alone before (we always had other dogs and in-home overnight care). Initially our dog was a bit shy, according to Lilli, but she ultimately warmed to them and they became fast friends. Lilli’s reports were detailed complete with pictures. I would highly recommend Lilli and Zachary!”

So my days and empty and free, waiting for a fur baby to fill in the blanks! I can’t think of a better way to spend my summer. I am I huge animal lover with an extra soft spot for cats. I love playing fetch with dogs or cuddling on the couch and giving some good pets.

Thank you Angela for always being there when you said you would be, and for giving My kitty love and cuddles. I will ? % use Angela’s services in the future…. ??”
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my lifelong experience with animals. I've always had pets, including those I've rescued and others I've raised from birth, so I'm familiar with a wide range of temperaments and needs. I've also provided loving care for several senior dogs and a senior cat I had since she was a kitten, giving me valuable experience with pets at every stage of life. Since I am primarily self employed, I am flexible in terms of availability! I am available day or night. I try mt best to accommodate client needs. Since I love in a second story condo, I walk my two canine boys several times daily for exercise and for bathroom needs. My cat, Gracie stays indoors but has everything she needs at her disposal.
About: I have a German shepherd puppy named Freya . She loves her walks every day & treats! I have taken care of dogs for the past 7 years & i love it . Best thing to come home to everyday . I currently don’t have a job so i will have a lot of free time to help out during the week . Schedule is pretty open I have a fenced in yard & 2 puppy’s . I can come to your house for services if need be . I would love to help in any ways i can.
About: I am primarily focused on getting more dog handling experience. I have volunteered at a shelter for 4 years and I have dog training experience as well. I eventually would like to train dogs as a career. I have an empty home with lots of love to give! Happy pets=peace of mind I typically work 4 days out of the week which means I have at least three days available to spend with your furry friends! I typically don’t have anything to do on my off days and I’d love to dedicate my time to your furry companion so they’re never short of love because love is what they deserve!! I currently live in a first floor apartment in the middle of the woods with scenic trails. Which means plenty of sniffs for your furry friends! I am very accommodating to your dogs needs whether that be administering medication, a soothing bath (free of charge), or sleeping with a certain toy/blanket.
About: I've grown up with animals my whole life- cats, dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, reptiles, etc. I've taken care of pets of all ages, from young to senior. I am available all days of the week, including the weekends. My time schedule is flexible and I would also be able to do drop in visits or stay overnight as well. By following owner specific instructions when given, I strive to make both the pet(s), and thus the owner, feel safe while under my current care.
About: I grew up with cats and dogs in the household. While my mom was away at work, my sister and I would be in charge of taking care of the animals. When I was younger, my neighbors and boyfriend’s family would intrust in me to take care of their dogs and take them for walks. I have a full-time job Monday-Thursday. I am flexible enough to alternate Fridays and Saturdays every week. Although they are already set in the schedule. Depending on the day I am not working, I am free all day (Friday-Sunday). I can give more details on my work schedule as needed. Depending on the client's house and their rules, I respect the clients guidelines and the requirements they expect. From previous walks/ in home stay/ feedings, I always communicated and client put their trust in me. If there was any concern or question, I respond very quick to ensure they can rely on an answer.

Whether it’s feeding, walking, or simply spending quality time with your pet, you can trust that they’re in the best hands with her.”
Diana V.
“She has taken care of my pets previously and I wouldn’t want anyone else caring for my fur baby. Diana does an exceptional job in the amount of care a dedication she holds with each of my pups. My babies always come back home freshly bathed (free of charge), with a full belly, and happy. I know she already has set rates, but if I could give her a raise I would! This is a person who will work with YOUR schedule and will try to make your pets feel safe and secure while you’re not home.”

Ripley T.
“Ripley has always been my first choice for watching my fur babies. I have two frenchies, a boxer and 2 cats. She’s very attentive and loving. Most of all, my pets are not stressed and love seeing her. If you want responsible and animal loving care, Ripley is the best!”
Jennifer F.
“I can't recommend Jennifer highly enough! She has been an absolute gem when it comes to caring for both our cat and dog. From the beginning, her gentle nature put our pets completely at ease. Our shy cat, who usually hides from strangers, warmed up to her almost immediately—something that rarely happens! What truly sets Jennifer apart is the care and intention she brings to every visit. She pays close attention to the individual needs of each pet and goes the extra mile to make sure they’re comfortable, happy, and well-cared for. It’s clear she genuinely loves what she does, and our pets love her for it. We feel so lucky to have found someone as dependable and kind-hearted as Jennifer. She’s become an important part of our pets’ lives—and ours too!”

“Eddie did a fantastic job watching over my dog. I'll absolutely be looking to have him back next time I need someone to watch over her”
