Working with Mary was a great! After we read her reviews and met her in person, we were so confident leaving our dog with her. Mary is a great communicator. All my questions were answered so quickly. She also sent us pictures of our dog living her best life while we were gone. It was so sweet and made us feel so relaxed and allowed us to enjoy our time at our daughter’s wedding. We already have plans for another trip and we are booking Mary for sure. We highly recommend Mary!

Lilly is such a professional and was amazing with our cat. Baloo is a sweet kitty, but often doesn’t trust someone and sit on their lap right away— and he did with Lilly! I’m so impressed with her ability to connect with him. She gave us updates throughout the day and it made us feel at such ease. We are definitely having her care for Baloo again and again!!! Cannot recommend her enough.

Kimberly did an exceptional job. The house was clean when we got home and better yet our babies were happy and healthy! This was our first dealing with Kimberly, but it certainly will not be our last. Thank you for photos, your attention to medications, etc. You live up to all your wonderful reviews and then some!

About: We have taken care of and loved dogs since we were children. We have rescued many dogs. One of my dogs had seizures which we cared for and loved for many years. If I had the ability I would rescue more. So the next best thing is to give your fur baby all the love I can during their stay. I work part time, so I will have plenty of time to play and care for your dogs. With the help of my son there will aways be someone to care for your fur baby. I have a 3 sided fenced yard and a tie out that runs the length of it. So there is plenty of room for exercise. I also have 2 very friendly pups to keep yours company. I am also able to crate your dog if so desired. I am currently working part time but between my work schedule and my son’s work schedule we will be available for your precious pups needs I have a partially fenced yard with a heavy strength run for dogs with more power and size We will walk smaller dogs in the yard on leash. At your home I follow your lead with what they ate already familiar with

About: I enjoy taking care of a variety of pets, and have helped care for many over the years. I have experience from everything as small as hamsters up to horses. I currently have dogs, cats, ferrets, and a horse. Many friends and family have relied on me for advice or to care for their pets. I’m available most days any time after 8am for pet sitting or dog walks! I can also do multiple drop in visits throughout the day! Normally at home I feed the dogs dinner, my mother does breakfast! I also take them out for walks around the yard. In your home I would do whatever is asked, and clean up any messes made.

Samantha was amazing! She took such great care of all our pets. Our dog was so relaxed when we got home. This was also a last minute booking since our sitter bailed on us and she really saved the day. She sent lots of updates and pics too so we could see all our babies being well care for. We’ll absolutely use her service in the future.

Because of a family emergency that took us out state, Jeremiah stepped up and took care of our fur babies with very little notice. He stayed at our house overnight with our pets. He sent daily photos of both our pets and answered any questions we had. When we got home, our babies were happy and the house was clean. We would absolutely hire Jeremiah again!

Since I was 16 years old, I have volunteered on and off at my local humane society, giving care to all animals. Care including: ensuring all dishes and laundry are fresh and clean, cleaning cages, feeding, as well as giving love & attention to each cat and dog! I also have had the honor of caring after my neighbors dog for about a year. This care included: taking him on walks and playing with him every 2-3 hours, feeding him, as well as giving plenty of love and pets! I’m currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of quality time to spend with your furry friend! During the week/weekends, I do not have a set work schedule, however I am flexible to work around my start and end times! If needed, I am able to easily crate your dog, I am able to take any precautions of care, as well as take upon requests that your fur baby may need during his/her time with me.

About: Hi, I’m Sabrina! I have over 7 years of experience with animals, including time in vet clinics, zoos, and dog daycares. I also did vet assisting for 7 years. I now focus on training, pet sitting, and spending time with animals full-time. I train my Cane Corso in various dog sports using a fair and positive balanced training approach that builds trust, structure, and confidence. I also have chickens, a cat, and a snake — so I’m comfortable with all kinds of pets! Your animals will be safe, loved, and well-cared for with me. I treat every pet like my own and believe play and connection are just as important as routine care. Let me know how I can help! I care for my animals daily—feeding my chickens, handling my snake, and cuddling my cat. I train and do dog sports with my two dogs every day, keeping them active and happy outdoors. I bring the same love, routine, and attention to every pet I care for. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort when caring for pets, whether in my home or yours. I have a laid-back Cane Corso and a young, energetic hunting prospect GSP, so I’m experienced balancing calm time with fun, engaging activities like scent work. I tailor care to each pet’s needs, providing gentle attention, plenty of exercise, and a secure environment where they feel safe and loved.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and genuinely enjoy caring for them. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me for years to check in on, feed, walk, and spend time with their pets while they’re away. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and have experience with larger breeds like Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds, and Leonbergers, so I’m confident handling bigger dogs as well. I’m patient, attentive, and make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are gone. My schedule is pretty flexible right now, so I’m able to do drop-ins, walks, and check-ins throughout the week. I’m reliable about sticking to feeding schedules, potty breaks, and making sure pets get attention and playtime while their owners are away. I always try to keep pets comfortable in their normal routine and environment. I follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, walks, medications, or anything specific the pet needs. I’m patient with animals and make sure they feel safe, calm, and well cared for while their family is gone.

About: I have always loved all kinds of animals! I have been a dog groomer for 8 years and would love to watch your dogs in my home or yours! If you need your dog(s) groomed send me a message and I'll see what I can do! I have a pretty flexible schedule and my boy friend always comes home on his lunch break. I don't do much besides work and spend time with my own dogs so what's a few more friends! I have a fenced in yard and live in a quiet neighborhood where I can easily take the dogs for walks.

About: I have always enjoyed spending my time with animals. I got my first dog when I was in elementary school - sadly he recently passed away - but since coming to college I have been missing my sweet fur baby. Being able to play with and care for someone else's pet while also earning extra cash would be an ideal job experience for me. Getting a new pet really isn’t an option for me right now. With all the free time on my hands, and I would love to get the chance to spend it walking and playing with your fur babies! In the past, I have dog sat for other friends and family and I really enjoyed it and having the extra company is always a plus!
