About: As a dedicated dog parent to a sweet, well-trained 1-year-old, GSP pup, I understand the importance of consistent care, positive reinforcement, and a loving environment. My dog is crate trained, obedient, high energy, and great with other dogs, so your pet will have a friendly companion during their stay. My hands-on experience raising and training my own dog has given me a strong understanding of canine behavior, routines, and needs. I’m confident handling feeding, exercise, and providing a safe, loving environment. Whether your dog is playful or prefers quiet companionship, I’ll make sure they feel at home. I'm a real estate agent with a flexible schedule, which allows me to be home often and provide plenty of attention to the dogs in our care. My husband works full time during the week, but we share pet care responsibilities and make a great team. I’m typically at the office Tuesday through Thursday from 8 AM to 12 PM and home by lunchtime. Each afternoon, I take our dog on a walk to a nearby soccer field for some fresh air and exercise. On other days, I may run an errand or have the occasional house showing, but I’m rarely away for long periods. Our dog is showered with love and attention every day, and your pup will be treated just like part of the family. We have a sweet, house-trained 1-year-old dog who no longer uses a crate during the day. She’s gentle, well-behaved, and gets along great with other dogs. If your pup is also house-trained, they’re welcome to be out and about with her. If your dog is more comfortable being crated when no one’s home, we’re happy to follow your routine—we’ve hosted plenty of crate-trained dogs and want them to feel safe and secure. We have a fully fenced backyard for safe playtime and also take daily walks to a nearby soccer field, so your dog will get plenty of exercise and fresh air.
“Ella dropped in to watch my cat a few times while I was on vacation. She had great communication and sent some sweet photos and videos of my girl each time she visited. Highly recommend Ella as a sitter!”
About: I have had dogs all of my life and now have a cat. Been watching pets for 4 years now. Love animals and can’t wait to care for yours! I currently work 4 days a week and go to school Tuesday/Thursday. However, when I am not available, my boyfriend can assist in potty breaks and feeding. My dogs have a fence but I have experience walking them for potty breaks as well. I can handle some pulling too! Only hoping they are house-trained:)
“Danielle did a great job!! Very communicative and it was clear that Lou was in good hands and had a great time when Danielle stopped in. Thank you Danielle!!!”
“Piper was a star! So kind, great communicator and dealt with some bad weather and an unexpected situation like a champ! We definitely want her back to take care of our pups!”
About: I’ve been watching both cat and dogs for 10 years now! I absolutely love spending quality time with animals, and making them feel cared for when their parents are away. I have experience in administering medication when necessary, and have cared for both puppies and kittens, to elderly animals. I’ll make sure they get enough play time, snuggles, and love! Making them happy, makes my heart happy! I work full time, but am able to do visits early in the morning before work, as well as coming after work at night! I’m free on the weekends as well! I do not accept pet care in my own home, but when I go over to pet owner’s homes, I want to make sure I respect them in all aspects, as well as their pet! My number one priority is making sure the owner knows their beloved animal is in good care. That means safety is always there, the pet’s routine is completed, and that a positive, fun energy is brought by me to them! Pets may feel lonely at times when their owner is away, so my job is to be that person that they can find comfort in. I make sure a house looks just like how an owner left it! I love to clean, so I’ll always make sure there is zero mess left behind.
“Tahreem is great! She’s reliable, consistent, and kind. We’re happy to have found her, and our cat warmed up to her immediately! Great peace of mind while we’re traveling.”
About: I’ve cared for both dogs and cats my entire life and currently have my own Rat Terrier mix named Froggy! When I was 10, I even started a neighborhood dog walking business, so being a pet lover and caregiver has always been part of who I am. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I’m attentive, calm under pressure, and adaptable to different personalities, whether you have a playful puppy who needs exercise or a senior dog who just wants company. I prioritize clear communication, consistency, and creating a stress-free experience for both pets and their people! I also work from home four days a week, which gives me flexibility to meet a variety of care needs. I currently work from home four days a week, and I am able to be flexible with the day that I am in office. Because of this, I have a lot of availability during the week to hang out with your pet! I am available during weekends as well. I can offer care for all of your pet's needs during their staycation! I have a small dog named Froggy that would love to keep your dog company! Froggy will be with me when I'm house-sitting, so please keep that in mind when booking if that isn't something you're comfortable with :)
“Jessie dropped in to check on our pups this weekend since our other sitters were out of town. She sent over pictures at each visit and let me know how things were going throughout the weekend. Will reach out to her again in the future.”
About: I’m very dependable, responsible, and trustworthy. I’ve spent a lot of time with my friends’ dogs, and have been babysitting since I was a teenager! I’m also a barista, so I’ve got great attention to detail and will make sure to take great care of your pet. I work full time in-person, but I can come check on your pet during lunch. And I have pretty open availability these days! We can definitely discuss your needs and work something out :) You let me know exactly what your pet needs! I’m happy to adapt to any special requests. Going on a long walk with a dog is one of my favorite activities.
About: I’ve grown up with both small and large dogs and have been around them my entire life! I’m a current golden retriever mom and love getting to play with sweet fur babies! I’m current a grad student with availability in the mornings, early afternoons, and evenings! Each day may vary slightly so please reach out in advance! I have a strong attention to detail and a deep care for all animals! I follow any routines or instructions closely, whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or administering medication. I treat every home with respect and every pet like my own
About: I’ve cared for animals of all ages and breeds ever since I can remember, whether it’s friend’s and family’s pets or fostering from local shelters. I have experience handling a variety of health conditions, including administering medication such as insulin. I’ve also worked for The Farmer’s Dog, where I’ve learned so much about dog health, nutrition, behavior, and habits that have been so useful in both my personal and professional life. My schedule is very flexible! I mainly work from home, so your furry friend would rarely be left alone. I can time my work breaks accordingly with your pets’ potty breaks, and can even work from your home if needed. That said, I’m good with any day of the week! I don’t have any pets of my own, and my household consists of just my boyfriend (who is also an animal-lover!) and me. We have a fenced in yard and patio for your pup to run around and we enjoy going for walks as well. We even have a doggy door on our screened in porch! If your pet is house-trained, I have no problem with them sleeping anywhere in the house (including with me). However, if they’re still house-training or prefer the comfort of their cage, I’m happy to create a safe space for them to be temporarily crated.

Savannah H.
“Savannah was our go-to pet sitter for years until she cruelly moved out of state (kidding… kind of). She stayed in our home several times while we were away on family trips and cared for our two dogs and two cats. We didn’t want someone just popping in a few times a day—we wanted someone who would be here, giving our pets real attention, affection, and companionship. Savannah was exactly that. All four of our pets were well cared for—and while the cats probably couldn’t care less (because, cats), our dogs were clearly thrilled to have her around! She always brought her own food and essentials, and she was a dream of a houseguest. The first time she stayed, I was honestly shocked at how clean and tidy everything was when we got home. Naturally, we were hesitant about letting someone stay in our home at first, but she came highly recommended by friends and local community members—and now we’re the ones recommending her. We were crushed when she moved to Tennessee, but if you’re in her new area, you’re in luck. Finding someone you can trust with your home and your pets is rare. Savannah is that person, and we recommend her without hesitation!”

Grace V.
“If you're looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely loving toward animals, look no further than Grace. She is hands-down the best dog watcher we've ever had! From the very beginning, Grace impressed us with her professionalism and warmth. She took the time to get to know our dog’s routines, quirks, and favorite activities. Whether it was walks, feeding times, or just cuddle sessions on the couch, she treated our pup like her own. We were especially grateful for the regular updates and photos she sent, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was clearly happy, relaxed, and thoroughly spoiled – in the best way possible! Grace has an incredible way with animals. She’s patient, calm, and attentive, which made a world of difference for our dog, who can sometimes be a little anxious. Grace always goes above and beyond. We wouldn’t trust anyone else. If you want your dog to be in the best hands, Grace is the one!”
