“Jennifer did an excellent job caring for our dog Oscar and we would happily use her services in the future. She seems to really love dogs and that helped put us at ease when we were away for a few hours and needed her help with a drop in.”

About: Hello! I have done Dog Rescue for 20+ years. This includes fostering and walking all types of breeds and ages of dog, though I specialized in small breeds. This also included lots of cleaning up after dogs! My mother and brother do dog rescue with me, so dogs are a family affair for me. In recent years I have fostered many litters of puppies, all small breed. I have owned dogs in the past, but right now I am dog free. My previous dog sitting experience has included up to 10 dogs at once. I can give medications as needed, or any special needs your dog may have. I am available on weekends and holidays. I look forward to meeting you and your dog! I have an extremely flexible hybrid work schedule, so I have a lot of time to spend with you and your pet! I am a home body and would rather be home with a dog than out. I am more than willing to watch dogs in my home, since I often foster dogs there. My home is “dog proof”. I also have no issues with going to other places to dog sit.
“Ashlee is the best again, I booked last minute and she accepted, very convenient, super nice, our sleepy boy love her! Thank you so much for taking care of him, you’re the best !!!”

“We're very happy with the care, service and sweetness provided to our cat during a 4 day trip. She took the time to make sure that our cat was happy, purring and chatting with her. There were fun photos taken and regular updates. We would definitely request Elizabeth again for needed drop-in visits. ;-)”

“Anna is very attentive and takes extra great care of our little dude! She’s very communicative and always make sure our cat is comfortable, loved, and doesn’t feel abandoned. Thank you for all that you do!”

About: Hi there! My name is Briana, and I’m a Registered Veterinary Technician with several years of experience working in the veterinary field. I’ve also worked as a kennel attendant, and I share my home with three wonderful dogs of my own — so I truly understand how much our pets mean to us! 🐾 I’m experienced with dog behavior, comfortable caring for cats, and have hands-on skills in providing subcutaneous fluids, injections, and senior pet care. Whether your furry friend needs extra medical attention, gentle handling, or just lots of love and playtime, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. ❤️ I pride myself on my attention to detail and always follow proper safety precautions — especially when pets need to be kept separate or have special needs. You can rest easy knowing your pets are in capable and compassionate hands. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family members and give them the same love and attention I give my own! While I currently work full-time, I’m available 1–2 days during the week to provide walks, play sessions, or extra care for your pets.

As a Registered Veterinary Technician, your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities.

“Diana is my go to sitter whenever I leave Town. I know My babies are VERY well taken care of and loved whenever she is there. She also takes the BEST update photos. Without Diana I wouldnt Be able to be worry free when I’m at a work trip or vacation.”

About: Animals have always been a part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally. I’ve grown up with dogs, babysat for families, and handled many large breeds with confidence and patience. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to giving your pet the same love and care they’re used to at home. I currently work Monday through Thursday 9 AM to 7 PM. I work from home 80% so I am in the area. My entire Friday and Sundays are open and have some limited availability on Saturdays. If you need night droppings I can manage something Monday through Thursday. I’m big on routines and I know how much they matter for happy, confident pets. Your dogs are only with us for a short time, so why not make every day enjoyable? Whatever rules, routines, or quirks your pups live by, I’ll follow them to a T while keeping things fun, loving, and stress-free.
“Melissa was so great to work with and I can’t wait for her to stop by to see our pup Daisy again! She came over to meet Daisy before our first drop-in and it was an instant hit. I felt so comfortable before, during, and after the visit with all of Melissa’s great questions and update, and I know Daisy loved having someone come shower her with affection when I was out for a long day. We’ll definitely ask Melissa to come back again!”

About: Hi! I’ve grown up with pets my entire life and had 3 dogs while growing up. I moved from Oregon to California about 8 months ago so I don’t currently have pets of my own, but I actively volunteer with an adoption organization in the area called Doggie Bonez and foster when I can so I have experience with many breeds and sizes. I’m happy to provide my services for walks, drop-ins, overnights, and more to keep your pet happy and stress-free while you’re away. I work a full-time corporate role Monday–Friday, but I have a hybrid schedule that allows me to work remotely on Fridays. This gives me full availability Friday–Sunday, plus every weekend which is perfect if you have a weekend getaway or work weekends. I live in a dog-friendly apartment complex with multiple dog parks, so your pup will have plenty of space and playtime. I also don’t have any pets at home right now, so there’s no need to worry if your dog prefers to be the only animal in the space.
About: Hello, my name is Halley and I have over 20 years of experience caring for animals in all shapes and sizes. I’ve owned 5 Guinea Pigs, 5 Dogs (raised from puppyhood), Cats (2 bottle feed kittens), fish, and even a horse for a short time. My mom is a professional dog trainer who owns her own business so I’ve grown up helping out training and rehabilitating animals. So no matter your pet care needs I can do it. I’m currently self employed as a personal shopper so my schedule is fairly flexible. I can do what’s best for you or your pets schedule. I can’t currently care for pets in my own home However I do have a big SUV and a pet of my own if you want a friend for your dog to play with. I currently work as a pet sitter full time and I’m also going to school for my BA in History so my schedule is pretty flexible. I currently can’t board pets in my home however if you would like me to watch them in yours that would be no problem. When taking care of my own dog I like to take her for a walk to the local park once a day for about 30min to an hour depending on the weather and her energy. I also like to do 20 min of enrichment twice a day whether that’s playing with a toy together or chewing on her bully bone. These are all things I can incorporate when caring for your animal if you would like.
“Hannah is such a sweetheart! She was so considerate and conscious of the space and of my fur bb. (As well as pleasantly communicative and professional throughout our experience )💖 It’s obvious that she’s authentically an animal lover through and through 🥰”

“Chelsea is amazing!! She came once a day for 2 weeks to watch my cat while I was on a work trip. I would always look forward to her detailed updates and pictures everyday. Knowing my cat was in good hands made my trip so much better. I will definitely use her services again!!”

About: I’ve worked at a doggy daycare for over a year, gaining hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds and ages. I’m patient, reliable, and passionate about providing safe, loving care tailored to each dog’s needs — from playful pups to gentle seniors. Pet care easily fits into my daily routine since I already work at a doggy daycare. When I’m not there, I’m spending time with my own dogs—taking them on walks, to the park, and keeping them active. My flexible schedule allows me to provide consistent, reliable care for other pets too. Since I live with my family, I don’t bring pets into my home, but I’m happy to care for them in their own space. I always make sure to get a full tour and all the important details before sitting, so I can keep their routine consistent. I also love sending lots of pictures and videos to keep owners updated and comfortable.
“Normally, when we don't have someone able to check in on Deejay when we're gone for longer periods of time, I notice he gets stressed and really lonely (crying and sometimes gets respiratory infections/sneezing). However, after Kristine spent extra time to keep him company while we were out of town, he was brighter and less sniffly when we came back! She was also extremely responsive with sending pictures and updates and extremely attentive with questions to go above and beyond our asks. I'll definitely need to book with Kristine every time now.”
