“Camille is great with both of my pets. This time she took care of my cat for a week. She is very reliable and even left a new toy for my kitty!! She is great!!”


About: Hi, I’m Emily. I grew up with all kinds of pets and have always had animals in my life, so taking care of them just comes naturally to me. I’m starting school for radiology in September, so my schedule is pretty open right now and I’d love to help however I can. I’ve taken care of pets for family, friends, and neighbors for years, and I genuinely love being around animals. I’m reliable, patient, and careful to follow any instructions exactly as given. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities—whether they’re energetic, shy, or need a little extra care. I’m also respectful of your space and always aim to leave your home just as I found it. Communication is important to me, and I’ll always keep you updated so you feel at ease while you’re away. I have a very flexible schedule right now with full availability during the week and weekends, which allows me to focus on providing reliable pet care. Once I begin school this fall, I’ll continue to offer care on evenings and weekends. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or some one-on-one attention, I’m happy to help when you need it. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your pets in someone else’s care. I’m a pet owner myself and have animals at home, so I truly understand how much they mean to you. I always make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I follow instructions carefully, stick to routines, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m also respectful of your home and aim to make the whole process as easy and stress-free as possible for both you and your pets.

“Sophie did an absolutely wonderful job with our cats while we were gone!! Not only did she perfectly handle feeding, litter boxes, and giving attention, she expertly took care of medications for two of ours kitties and notified us of/fixed some small issues (slow drain) as well. Daily updates with stories and photos were very much appreciated!! We will definitely use her services again and highly recommend her to anyone in need of pet sitting and care!! Thank you again, Sophie!! ☺️😽”


“Alexandria did an awesome job with dog sitting my 4 year old shihpoo. It was the first time I have left with someone unfamiliar and Alexandria put me at ease and sent me regular updates. Highly recommend Alexandria for petting services!”


About: I am reliable, responsible, and I of course love dogs! My family feels lucky to be the welcoming home that our friends and family put their trust in when they need a place for their dogs to stay while they're on vacation! I have fostered 20+ dogs (including puppies and adult dogs) since 2020 and I have 2 small dogs of my own. Furry visitors in my home typically join the pack quickly and feel right at home. I have a fenced in back yard. I work from home so the pups at my house like to snuggle up next to my desk. I am able to take breaks frequently for doggie potty breaks. I like to bring the dogs for walks around the block in the morning and evening. I have a fenced in yard and two small, friendly dogs for your dog to play with. I'd love to hear what your dog's normal routine looks like so that I can make them feel as comfortable as possible in my home.

About: Hi! My name is Jessica and I would love to take care of your pet while you’re away. I have unofficially been a pet sitter for several years. I have been fortunate to have friends and coworkers ask me to help with their pets and since then word of mouth has given me the chance to pet sit a lot more, which I love! I have always loved animals and have had the chance to watch and help out with many dogs, cats, chickens, lizards, and even a couple horses. I have two cats who are my world and I intend to make your pet as much of a priority my own. If you were to hire me I would make sure your pet(s) have a schedule as close to normal as possible. I have no issues staying over with your dog or cat. My favorite thing to do while I dog sit is take them for walks, so that is not an issue at all and I will always make sure your dog is well secured and watched throughout any time outside. I am typically busy Monday - Friday from 7:30 AM - 5 PM which is why I said that I can’t be available full time during weekdays, but I am free all day during weekends. I have no issues with staying over or popping in several times a day if that is what you prefer. Safety for your pet is my #1 goal, but I also am there to spend time with them, play, and take them for walks. I know leaving your pet is stressful for you and them, so I always try to distract them and make sure they get lots of love and attention. I also am more than happy to provide a lot of pictures and updates to ease your mind as well! Unfortunately, my apartment building does not allow pets, not even to visit, so I have no opportunity to board your pet.

“Anastasia was excellent! I had last minute plans out of town and she was very accommodating to board Maui. Maui was so comfortable and had a great time playing in the yard space with her new dog friend! Anastasia sent me lots of pictures each day of Maui! She even started to train her to sit on command. I highly recommend Anastasia, she is an outstanding caregiver! I will be using her again in the future!”

“Gabriella has been a true blessing for us this holiday. Having two senior pets with special medical needs, we are constantly worried about them. We were very nervous to leave home, but Gabriella was truly caring, professional, and dedicated. Upon our arrival home, we found Christmas presents for our babies waiting on the table. We are so grateful for the wonderful care our pets received from Gabriella and highly recommend her!”


“Riley was great to work with - we even had a tricky lockout situation while we were away and Riley worked with us every step of the way to get it resolved. Strongly recommend Riley.”


“We were extremely happy with Nina watching Gunther. We were at ease knowing she would be here looking after him. We loved the pictures and updates we got. Nina made us feel very confident that Gunther was in good hands.”


About: Animals of all shapes and sizes hold a special place in my heart and I try to do everything imaginable to give them the happiest life they deserve. I have previously watched family friends dogs, some with special needs and have been asked back time and time again. I take my responsibilities very seriously when caring for other people’s pets and will treat them as if they are my own! I am working on my own home-based bakery (I make pup cakes too!) and just love being able to help wherever possible! Your pet will be given everything they need to live the happiest life!! I currently work full time at a local daycare 7-4 and typically have my weekends mostly free. Sometimes I have bakery events here and there but can always make room for a few drop ins here and there! I can adapt very well to whatever your animals are used to! I know my pets are very used to a schedule and it’s always easiest to keep on that schedule!

“Maya was a great fit for my dogs. She knew I was in a bind so she helped out even though I lived out of the range she usually drives to take care of Whiskey and Pebbles. Thank you Maya Denise”



“As a professional dog walker myself for 23 years, I was pretty picky about who I wanted to walk our new puppy on the weekends. Brenna was prompt and enthusiastic, and handled our Rottweiler puppy's antics easily during the meet and greet. It's great knowing we can depend on Brenna to give our puppy a break while we run errands.”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a little girl. Neighbors, friends and family have allowed me to take care of their dogs for years. I currently have a 9 year old lab and had a lab for ten years before him. Currently I am available all day and every day of the week. I am looking for a new job doing something I love to do. We have a large backyard but it’s not fenced in. I can take the dog out on a leash if needed. There is a park near my house where I walk my dog every morning. My father and mother are both home and can give your pet extra love, attention and help when needed. I have a 7 year old male lab who loves everyone and is great with other animals.

Emily M.
“Emily exceeded our expectations! She was incredibly kind and attentive, and our energetic red-nosed pitbull took to her instantly. During our week away, we felt completely at ease knowing she was there. Our dog typically struggles with separation, so having someone stay overnight made all the difference in his comfort. Emily even took the time to meet him beforehand, which reassured us that she would be a perfect match. It was clear our dog adored her!”

Laura W.
“Laura is amazing—the only person I truly trust to care for my pups! My dogs are my babies, and I’m usually very picky about who watches them. But when they’re with Laura, I have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in loving, capable hands. She treats them like her own, always going above and beyond to make sure their needs are met and that they’re having a great time. She’s also deeply involved in the dog rescue and fostering community and genuinely has a heart of gold. She’s helped so many dogs find their forever homes and supports them every step of the way. Her two dogs are super friendly, too, and they get along great with my 4-year-old and 7-year-old shih tzus, even though both my pups have very different energy levels!”
