About: 🐾 I’ve been caring for dogs since I was young, and it’s been a lifelong passion. Over the years, I’ve looked after pups of all sizes—from a tiny 8 lb dachshund to strong, lovable 100 lb pitbull mix. My experience includes everything from energetic puppies to slow-moving seniors, each with their own needs and personalities. I currently live with two spayed female dogs who are well-socialized and have peacefully cohabitated with several foster dogs since last year. I regularly volunteer with Border Tails Rescue, providing a safe, nurturing home for dogs in transition. Through fostering, I’ve gained deep experience with behavior observation, gentle training, and helping anxious or shy dogs feel secure. I’ve managed feeding routines, administered medications, and supported dogs through recovery and adjustment periods. I’m especially mindful of canine body language and group dynamics, and I only accept dogs who are friendly with others to maintain a safe, peaceful environment. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do—it’s something I truly love. I treat every pup with patience, respect, and the kind of attention I’d want for my own. 🐶 When dog sitting, I am home all day so your pup will have lots of attention. On the rare occasion I do leave the house, it's never for more than 4 hours at a time. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I share my home with two friendly, playful dogs—Miley, a 50 lb mixed breed, and a 75 lb American Bully—who are well-socialized and enjoy respectful canine company. My securely fenced yard provides space for supervised outdoor play, and my middle school children, who are also well-versed in watching and caring for dogs, help ensure everyone feels safe and supported. I only accept dogs who are known to be dog-friendly to maintain a positive, secure environment for all.

“She regularly updated me with photos and was thoughtful enough to realize I hadn't considered getting my keys back.”

“I couldn’t be happier with the care my pups received! Lily is incredibly kind, followed every instruction exactly, and stayed in constant communication, which gave me so much peace of mind. She was flexible, friendly, and truly amazing with my dogs! It’s clear she genuinely loves animals and takes her responsibilities seriously. She will make a great vet! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring sitter!”

“Casey was absolutely fantastic taking care of my two cats while I was out of town. Not only did I feel she was capable of the everyday maintenance that comes with pets, but also that she provided the love and attention my pets missed while I was gone. I'd recommend Casey to my friends and family and will use her again in the future.”

“Austin checked in on my cat and even asked if he could give her more food because she seemed hungry.”

About: I've been watching dogs ( small dogs) and cats for 10+ yrs. I always make sure to listen to your needs and requests so the pet doesn't feel any difference when your away. I main goal is to make sure they feel loved, supported and safe! I will make sure to play with them, feed them on a timely manner, take them to them outdoors or make sure the litter is clean for their use. I currently work full time but I'm available in the evenings after 5:30pm or the weekends. Also, I can always work around both of our schedules. I will make sure I can make the environment with your pet, comfortable, but playing some music that might be comforting for them, play with them so they know I'm there for their entertainment needs. I will also send you daily photos so you feel safe knowing your pet is in good hands.

“Tina is great with our puppy. She asks questions to make sure she is consistent with the phrases and training we are doing. She takes lots of pictures each visit and our puppy seems to love her.”

Jill S.

“Cristina did such a wonderful job with our 12-year old Lab mix! He can be a difficult dog but she handled him wonderfully, was a great communicator, and took some of the best photos of our pup ever! I am happy to recommend Cristina unreservedly!”

“Stacey took amazing care of our cat while we were away! She is kind, responsive, and very trustworthy. She sent messages and pictures everyday to let us know how the visit went. We would absolutely book her again :)”

About: Since the age of 8 I have been around and raised all kinds of animals. Cats, dogs, ducks (hatched and raised) , rabbits, hamsters, turtles, frogs, guinea pigs. I have lots of patience (I have 2 human babies and 3 fur babies haha), lots of love and lots of experience! I currently work part time (I make my own schedule) and would be able to fit in pet care whenever it is needed by the pet parent. I have a fenced in backyard, I am a current home owner so no need to worry about any apartment building neighbors. I have a very loving pup who would love to have a friend over at our house! If owner feels more comfortable with me going to their house alone, that is also more than okay as well! Whatever makes YOU feel most comfortable, I am here to do!

About: The Hunt family consists of Helen (me) Jon (train driving husband) and our son and daughter. I am a stay at home Mom/Artist with a 8 and 6 year old who are very accustomed to animals and very gentle. We have a ranch house that is open plan with hard wood floors and a huge fenced in yard. I have my own car to use for picking up and dropping off. We live 2 minutes from Melas Dog Park in a leafy neighborhood great for walking dogs. I grew up in rural England and have spent my life around animals. After dropping my children off at school I am home all day working on art projects and so your pet will have company and access to outside whenever needed. If your pet is on the introverted side we can always accommodate by setting aside a bedroom for alone time. Please know with us your most precious loved one is in safe and warm hands. In order to accommodate regular guests we can no longer board dog aggressive pets.

Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as I am currently not employed, allowing me to dedicate my full time, energy, and attention to each pet. Your pet’s safety is my top priority.

About: Ive worked at petsmart as a professional dog bather and ive worked with dogs of all shapes, sizes and personalities. I have also owned dogs since I was very young. I feed my pets in the morning around 8am and then in the evening at 4pm before I head off to work. I also brush my one dog who sheds insane amounts weekly. I clip my cats nails once every two weeks. I also take my dogs in to bathe them at my work. I have two very loving dogs who love to be in the fenced in backyard I have. My cat toast has a small tent she feels secure in because being outside makes her anxious and yet, she’s always asking to go out.

“THANK YOU! We've got some high maintenance, finnicky dogs and she handled them with care and patience. She changed dog diapers and helped clean a wound. She jumped fully in and went above and beyond for our mutts. We will absolutely be trusting her with our furbabies again.”

Kelli Q.

“Nancy loves animals! This was apparent during our meet and greet as well as in the videos she sent of my loudly purring cat while she was petting and brushing her. She was quick to respond to initial inquiry and available to meet at a time convenient to me. My cat was mellow on my return. All was in order per my instructions and she left a nice, informative note. Will absolutely use Nancy again when I go out of town.”

About: I have had dogs in my family since I was a child. I have helped and rescued many animals through my job and in my personal life. My dogs have all had formal training. I am pretty open as long as I am in town. Time of day is also open. Weather is also not a factor in bookings. I will care for a clients pet in their home per their instructions. I will not have any availability at my home at this time.

About: Hi, I’m Genesis. I’ve worked as a veterinary assistant for four years and now pet sit full-time. That experience taught me how to care for all kinds of pets. Shy, energetic, senior, or on medication. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as close to normal as possible, and I only step out of the home for short periods if needed. I am currently pet sitting full time and will be able to adjust to your pets schedule as necessary. Giving as much exercise and potty breaks as they need! With a background in veterinary medicine, I’m always keeping an eye out for anything that might be unsafe. Whether it’s dropped food, chewed-up toys, or open doors. I don’t allow dogs to meet other dogs while out on walks, and I never do any off-leash activities unless it’s in a securely fenced yard with your approval. I keep things calm, clean, and consistent, and I’m comfortable handling anything from minor issues to emergencies if they come up. Your pet will be in good, experienced hands.
