“Talitha was wonderful! We booked her for four consecutive days of walking and she took great care of our pup! She was thorough with contact and documenting his walks and sending plenty of pictures. We are so appreciative of her!”
“Kristin was great. I needed someone to walk my dog a few times on a sunday evening. She was able to meet me and Oakley before, and check out my apartment so there were no issue the day of. She provided pictures and updates, along with beginning and ending walk times. It helped keep me at ease, and I highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve been around pets my entire life, mostly dogs. I’ve owned my own dogs since I was 12, and I currently own a German shepherd and a Coton De Tulear. I consider myself a true animal enthusiast and I believe that caring for them is more than a chore, but something you need to be passionate about to give them the best care they deserve. I’m returning to college to pursue a career in veterinary medicine and I’d love to not only give your pets the care they deserve, but to add to my experience for the furbabies in the future! Caring for pets in my clients home will all depend on what I have access to. I am more than comfortable with taking dogs outside/on walks, crating them, and feeding/treating them.
“Amber was amazing! She was quick to respond, incredibly kind, and clearly a true dog lover. I had complete peace of mind during my trip knowing my dog was in great hands. Thank you, Amber — I’ll definitely be reaching out again!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs my entire life. I have experience with puppies, energetic dogs, and elderly dogs. I love to spend my free time outside with my own dog, helping him get more exercise! I am eager to expand my dog experience and to bond with more animals. I’m currently working part time so I’ll have open availability to watch your dogs! I am able to be flexible to find times to walk or take your pup for a potty break! If you require a longer stay, I just need to know at least 2 weeks in advance to ensure my schedule will align. I currently have a Catahoula Leopord Dog, he requires a lot of attention and outdoor time. He has a hard time sharing his space, so I would have to board at the clients home. While visiting at the clients home, I will ensure the pup receives plenty of exercise, cuddles, and as many potty breaks it needs! I have my own transportation so it’s not a problem to commute.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. I never had a pet of my own until I met my former partner and he had a deaf Australian Shepard and I fell in love with her. A year after that we rescued a mix and named him Archer and he is the most loyal, loving dog I’ve ever met. I’ve also helped take care of my sisters mini poodle on and off for about 3 years so have experience with big and small dogs as well as deaf dogs. I work full time currently Monday through Friday but pet care would be something I can do in the evenings and weekends, while also spending time with my own dog. I have plenty of paths and places to walk dogs near my home and my complex has a dog park to play and use the bathroom
“Cassandra did a great job walking our dog. She was flexible in her scheduling and timely in her responses. Due to the hot weather, she wisely provided water and shade breaks which I appreciated. Thank you Cassandra, I will use you again in the future!”
“Alex has always been super reliable and takes great care of my dog. Great communication and he’s always thinking about Lucy’s best interest. Couldn’t recommend Alex enough!”
About: I run my own small business so I am flexible. I have 2 Russian blue cats at the moment, but I have always had black labs in the past. I love animals of all kinds. I run a small business, so I make my own schedule. I would work around any pet sits that I have scheduled and I’m fairly flexible. I would listen to the needs of each client as each pet comes with their own requirements. I do not live in a place that caters to boarding, so I am only offering pet sitting in the client’s home.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs all my life. Today I have a happy 11 year old Pomeranian mix. I grew up with black labs. I love to play fetch and hike with dogs whenever I can. I have a nice, safe yard for play time. I also live near a great dog park. I have taken care of dogs of all ages and make sure I understand their energy level and needs.

About: Having been through a fairly traumatic dog attack myself, I made it my mission to learn all about dog's behavior and why they do what they do. I have studied different ways of training and learning how to react to certain situations with them. I promise to love and give all the fun play time, cuddle time, and attention to your favorite furry friend! Your doggy can sleep in my bed and hang out on the couch. If you are anything like me, your dog is your best friend and child! I had an amazing female Boston Terrier who lived to 13 1/2. I am versed in care of elderly dogs. My new venture is a deaf puppy. We are learning hand signals for training. He is very friendly and loves to make new friends. If you have any questions about what I'm willing to do, or can and can't do, please don't hesitate to ask me! I work for a family business, and can bring my dog to work. Therefore, your pup will be able to come to work with me! I will love your baby as if it was my own. Dogs will always be leashed outside. They are allowed on furniture here and are welcome to snuggle anytime! But if you have different rules , please tell me so I can abide by them.
About: My petsitting career has extended over the course of approx eight years. My experience has allowed me to provide quality care for pets while their families are away. I also have previously worked for a vet clinic and from those experiences I have gained more knowledge and a strong compassion for animals.

I have a reliable source of transportation, and can ensure that I will keep your pets needs in mind when walking and/or letting them out.
About: I have multiple degrees specializing in animal care and behavior. I have worked in zoo and farm settings. I can also help with pet advice or services! My entire life is about care of animals from the time I wake up to care for my rabbits and chickens. I am focused and responsible and able to take on large animal care projects.

“I can’t say enough good things about Gretchen as a pet sitter. She’s watched my dog, Lily several times now, and every single time I leave my pup in her care, I feel completely at ease. Lily can be a bit shy with new people, but she warmed up to Gretchen right away. It’s clear she truly loves animals—she’s patient, gentle, and somehow manages to make Lily feel like she’s on a little vacation of her own. I’ve come home to a happy, relaxed dog every time.”

She's caring, loving and playful with the pups. I highly recommend her! I don't have to worry about him while he's in her care and she often sends me pictures to keep me updated :)”
Jen P.
“Jen has been walking my dog for several months now. She is extremely reliable and responsible and takes great care of Luna. Luna has had two back surgeries and needs to be controlled so she will not injure herself again. Jen knows how to manage her to keep her safe. Luna loves Jen as well and is always happy to see her. Jen always texts me after the walk to let me know how Luna did and will let me know well in advance if she will not be available so I can make other arrangements. I trust her with my pet and in my home. I highly recommend Jen.”
