“Giselle is are now go to sitter! She is extremely good at following my crazy helicopter dog mom instructions😂 she is very professional and did everything we needed of her perfect and went above our expectations!! Our German shepherd is a little shy and also a ball of energy once warmed up and he loves her and we are so thankful for that because he can have a hard to warming up to people. I would 100% recommend her to anyone!”

About: Hi, I’m Kristin! I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I currently have a sweet 6-year-old golden cocker spaniel and a fluffy 2-year-old rescue cat I’ve cared for since he was just 4 weeks old. Animals are truly my passion — I treat them like family. I’m extremely reliable, laid-back, and patient, and I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. Over the years, I’ve cared for many animals belonging to my own friends and family, from playful puppies to mellow senior pets. Whether your pet needs walks, snuggles, playtime, or just someone calm and loving to keep them company, I’ll be there with dependable care and a gentle heart. I’m currently exploring a new career path working with animals, which has always been a true passion of mine. Because of this, I have open availability and plenty of time to dedicate to giving your pets the attention and care they deserve. I live in a home with one friendly dog and one friendly cat who both do well with other animals. I also have a dedicated spare bedroom that can be used to meet your pet’s needs, and I’m able to crate animals when necessary for their comfort and safety.

About: Taking care of pets has been my passion for many years. I’ve always taken care of other animals as if they were my own fuzzy family member and promise to provide the same to your pets. My primary type of care is with American bully’ breeds, but also have experience with smaller and larger dogs as well. As someone who has an incredibly flexible work schedule, I am able to easily coordinate care for not only my pets, but yours as well! I will provide your pets with the highest quality care and love that all pets deserve. They will get the much needed attention and care, whether it be medication administration for an older dog, or getting the zoomies out for your active pup. Walks are typically around a mile long, but can be adjusted based on each pets requirements. I can take them on jogs as well if that is what they prefer.

“We’re so thankful for Stephanie! Our dog can be a little grumpy and hard to please, but she was so patient and kind with him. It gave us peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. We really appreciate the extra care and attention. Highly recommend!”


“Caryn was fantastic! Communication was great, she was very friendly and sent great updates and pictures when she stopped to check on our kitties. We will absolutely book her again!”


About: I’ve have grown up in a house with both cats and dogs, very comfortable with large breeds of dogs. I take the time to get to know each animal individually. I work full time and have availability usually everyday after 5pm. I am also available anytime on the weekends as I have those off work. I will follow any house rules and will do what I can to make your pets comfortable with me being in their homes to help take care of them in any way that they need.

“Cynthia saved us in our time of need and took great care of our crazy pup! Thankful to her!!”


“That's for helping out so I could get married. Thomas did a wonderful job and did everything and more than asked. Would book again.”



“Molly was Great! She was very flexible with time. She was patient with my shy dogs too!”


About: I have always had dogs and cats while growing up and have worked at a veterinary clinic for 4 years, walking and taking care of boarding cats and dogs!! Pet care fits into my daily routine since I take care of my dogs while at home, feeding, walking, cuddling, and playing with them!! While obviously giving them lots of treats :) I am able to adapt to different families needs when caring for their animals. I can walk dogs, let them outside for potty breaks, feed animals, hang out with them and anything else families need.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life. Besides having cats and dogs growing up, my husband and I had three cats of our own, who all lived to be in their late teens. We also had a Shih Tzu and he lived to be 15. We added Pixie our golden doodle to our family a few years ago. Then we added bruni our leopard gecko who was given to us by a family member. Then came Munchie our bearded dragon and Ellie our Mini Golden Doodle. I’ve learned so much from these guys. I really enjoy spending time with them and giving them the best life I can. I can play with your animals, give them hugs if they need them, feed and walk them. I can also try to train puppies to sit, lay and give paw, while I’m there. I’ve trained Pixie to do all those things. I currently work at night, the kids are going back to school and I will have time to take care of your pet and give them the proper care they need while you are away. If you have a fenced in yard I’m more then happy to let your dog out, feed it, exercise, play fetch, or take them for walks. I can also feed bearded dragons or geckos. If they have an accident I will clean that up as well.

About: Anyone who knows me knows I am a huge dog lover. I was raised with a dog and went on to get a dog of my own. A sheltie. He was just 8 weeks old. I had the greatest experience training and raising him. He was my best friend and buddy. He unfortunately passed away at the age of 12. I have a high level of love and compassion for dogs as well as other animals. I am a very patient and love to go on walks, play and cuddle. I have two teenage girls who visit and are just as much a dog lover as myself. I do not work outside the home and have the time and attention to give to your best friend. I live in a quiet and dog friendly neighborhood offering comfortable accommodations. I’m happy to share anymore information you would like

“Caitlyn was very friendly and loves on Tater Tot upon their first meeting. She sent pictures while we were away and let us know when she had visited. I felt very confident I. Her abilities and we will definitely use her services again!”


About: Hi I very caring, calm & pet smart – 7 years of experience with dogs, cats, puppies & seniors. Reliable, playful, and always on time. I’m available any day and time, except when I’m on vacation. I’m flexible and happy to stay overnight or adjust to whatever your pet needs! I do create a calm, safe space and follow all pet routines closely—whether at my home or yours. Pets are loved, watched, and always comfortable.

About: I have successfully mothered and nurtured many cats, dogs, bunnies, rats , turtles, fish and birds. Loving each and every one has been one of most rewarding experiences of my life.

My home is animal friendly with a huge yard for them to explore. Everyone in my home including my own fur babies, are thriving in the safest and most loving environment that I can provide.

About: I have owned pets my entire life. (Dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, fish, birds, guinea pigs) My daughter has a Bearded Dragon in which I have become fond of. I am very compassionate and feel a special connection with animals. In previous work situations, I have made great dog friends, along with the family, that remain to this day. I take every opportunity to help an animal in need. Feeding and caring for orphaned chipmunks, rescuing turtles from vehicle demise, helping a mother duck and her ducklings cross a busy road, offering baby raccoons a way out with boards, as to be free from hot dumpsters, etc. Having pets most my life and being on the go, I understand the importance of loving pet care. As an active, recent retiree from special education, I am now available to be more interactive with animals. I do have a 7 lb. Maltese that may occasionally join me for a stroll. Being so small, she can either walk or go in her carrier, depending on the situation. I travel sometimes so this opportunity offers the best of all my worlds, people, pets & places. I care for pets as though a child..Love and patience. I would like to focus my services in my local area as to be more available.

About: I have had dogs and cats all my life from puppy/kitten to seniors and always try to make everyday special for them. Very attentive to their needs. Detail and safety oriented. I have a full time work from home job so taking care of pets during the day would be simple if they are taken care of here. I am flexible if need to be in your home, as long as I have internet access for work. I have a very large fenced in yard and numerous rooms in the house to keep your pet comfortable and taken care of. I have my own medium sized dog and cat so if they are friendly they can play but if not, can always sequester them in a nice safe space.
