About: Book now before I update my prices on September 20, 2025! Scroll through my photos to see the backyard your pet will get to run around in! I have 2 years experience volunteering and fostering pets at my favorite pet rescue organization and the humane society. I have 5 years of experience caring for my brothers 3 shar-pei’s (ages 1-3) whenever they’re away, which is on a regular basis. I also have experience caring for my sisters senior stray cat that she took in and adopted. I have experience in potty training puppies and will wake up in the middle of the night if needed. I also have 4+ years of nanny and childcare experience with one family of 3 children so you know I’m also trustworthy with housesitting and with children as well! :) if you have any questions, please let me know! I am currently a stay at home wife with no children. I currently moved here because my husband is in the military so I have all the time in the world for your fur babies. I like hiking and going on walks to play Pokémon go so taking dogs on walks would fit right into my schedule! I love playing fetch, cuddling and teaching tricks when I spend time with pets. I verify that the floor is clear or debris and small objects to avoid a choking hazard, thus I often sweep because safety is a priority of mine. I live with my husband who also loves animals and constantly have his support and help. I encourage gentleness in dogs and always give them affection.
“Jen was excellent!! The dogs loved her. She was great and I had peace of mind while I was out of town. She has a love and compassion for pets. She understood they are my babies and she did a wonderful job caring for them. She was more then willing to help and went above and beyond. I liked her character and trusted her to come in and out of our home. She has a beautiful spirit, fun and caring.💕 If you're looking for someone to care for your pet Jen is your girl!! 😇”
About: I love walking and running. Being outdoors as much as I can when it’s nice out! 🌞 I pay a good attention to details and often like to double check things. I do whatever is asked of me. I always do my best and with honesty. Accept same day bookings as long as I don’t already have something planned of course! Don’t have kids or personal pets of my own. Just family pets. If I have to be gone for more than what the dog is allowed to be alone. Then I will go back and check on them and let them out for a quick potty break. I’m also looking for a full time job right now. So I’m not booking anything for more than 2 weeks out. Sorry for any inconvenience. Right now I’m flexible and my job is flexible. I only work 2 days a week in the summer. During the school year, I will be trying to substitute teach more base on the need. But I would be gone no more than 8 hours. I walk the dog on side walk or on the road if it’s a busy neighborhood. I feed and give your dog water. Also medication if they take any. I also play with your dog if requested or I see the need.
“Leslie was great!! We will definitely hire her again. She was very thorough with the instructions we left and sent us lots of pictures of our babies while we were gone! She took very good care of our four cats! We highly recommend her!”
“I would recommend Morgan to other pet parents! Great communication, on time and did excellent with their care. I will definitely hire her again and I can be picky with pet sitters. Thank you 😊”
“Excellent care for my cats. Reliable, spends the time focused on caring for them. Learned their different personalities and knew what each needed for comfort. So nice to be able to travel and not worry about how pets were at home. This is the second time I’ve had Suzanne H. and will ask her the next time I need a pet sitter.”

“Sydney was excellent with our two dogs! She made them feel comfortable and took care of their needs very well. She sent photos and summaries after each visit and was really quick with her communication. Our schedule shifted a bit due to our travel plans, and Sydney was flexible with all the changes. We will definitely keep her in mind for the next time we need help with our dogs!”

About: Hi, I'm Lexie. I am high-masking autistic, which for me means that I look and sound pretty "normal" but my brain is structured differently. My special interest is dogs! Mainly behavior but also history, breeds, care... Anything dog. I am a dog-trainer-in-training currently pursuing certifications that will help me teach dogs with behavioral issues that the world is ok! I am experienced with multi-dog homes that need "crate and rotate" care, "hands off" care, puppy care, and if you leave instructions I could do just about anything- I am not bothered by reptiles, amphibians, non-flying (pet or feeder) bugs, although I am nervous of birds. I'm very detail oriented. My background in home healthcare ensures that your home and pet(s) will be respected, and I am comfortable administering oral or topical medications. My availability is from 9am-5pm Monday-Thursday, Fridays from 8am-3pm. On Fridays, my 5 year old is home with me and will likely accompany me to drop-ins. She is dog savvy (for her age) and is respectful of dogs and cats, but since she is small I can only visit cats and well-mannered pups! I am a fan of cooperative techniques. I would rather spend 15 minutes strategizing how to entice "Fluffy" back in their crate than try to force them. For potty visits, I prefer to clip a long drag line to the dogs harness or collar- just in case they don't respond to a recall from me, or if there is any chance at all they might make a break for it! That way, we can still play and have fun, but with a safe guard in place. For walks, I will always want to specify if you are wanting a structured walk or a sniffari, or a combination. Structured walking is only available to dogs that already know how to walk on a loose leash. If you are interested in loose leash walking, that is something we can work on! For feeding or medications, I will need exact instructions! How much food, what you use to measure it (example: 1 full scoop with the blue cup on the counter, 8oz raw thawed in fridge, fill up the black kong, etc), and amount of supplements or extras. For oral meds, please specify if it needs to be "hidden" and what to hide it in (wet food, pb, etc.)
