“Carly immediately bonded with our dog and took care of him for 4 days. ( feeding, walking,playing) she gave us updates several times every day. We will definitely use her again.”


“Daisy is wonderful ! She knows how to relate to pets. Our shy cat comes out to be petted by her. Gives us piece of mind while we’re away that he’s happy!”



“Elizabeth is a gem. I had to go away for a week and wanted a house sitter who would be able to handle my fragile, high maintenance 16-year-old Golden. I really didn't think it would be possible to find anybody up to the task but I came home to find a thriving dog. Elizabeth really knows her stuff and her love for animals is obviously deep and genuine. She's also very pleasant around people!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs since the age 5 when I was gifted my first pup. I love my dogs as if they were my children. I have 10yr old 80lb boxer mix and a 9mo poodle. I’m currently in school to be a certified life coach. My husband owns a cleaning business and I help him from time to time. I would like to fill in my days getting outside and caring for your fur babies. I can care for your dog at home as instructed. I also have a medium poodle that is fully vaccinated and in great health that I can bring along to play with your pup.

About: I have the ability to reinforce basic commands like sit, stay, and recall during walks or sitting sessions. I have the ability to channel their boundless energy in a productive way, whether through play or structured exercise. I have a 11 year old pit bull which gives me experience with caring for a senior dog but understanding the slower pace, possible joint pain, or health issues that may require extra care. Being observant of subtle signs of discomfort, such as limping & notifying the owner if needed. Knowledge of how to administration oral medications & liquids. I am currently an entrepreneur which gives me more free time to provide the necessary care for your pet care. With such a flexible schedule I’m able to be available any day & anytime My two dogs are fenced it at home where they have a nice big yard to exercise & run around. I also take them on frequent walks especially the senior dog to be able to be more mobile on his legs.

About: I've been around all sorts of animals since I was a child, firstly with pet birds of my own, then volunteering at a farm for a number of years. Most recently, my experience as a veterinary assistant and being in school for a veterinary technician degree also gives me much knowledge in care for all sorts of animals, especially dogs and cats! I'm currently working at a veterinary hospital and have a few days where I can take time to fit pets that need attention into my schedule. Since my schedule changes regularly, my availability may change weekly, but usually does not impede on any pet that needs my attention. I have a variety of cages, leashes, harnesses, and toys for all size dogs if it is not available to the owner. Another benefit I can offer is the fact that since I also work at an animal hospital, if in the event where a pet needs attention while their owner’s are away, I have the access and contacts to help with any needs of that pet as soon as possible, with the permission of the owners.

“Cheryl was great with our little Nylah and fed our fish. She came everyday to feed her, give her treats and got along so well with her. We loved receiving the picture updates as well. Would recommend Cheryl to anyone she is amazing!!!”



About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my individualized care. Every animal is unique, and I tailor my approach to their specific needs and personality, ensuring they receive dedicated, personalized attention and genuine companionship, not just a standard service.

When I’m caring for pets in their own homes, my goal is to keep them as comfortable and relaxed as possible by sticking to their usual routines. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality, preferences, and needs — whether that means keeping up with their favorite walking route, feeding schedule, playtime habits, or simply giving them space when needed. I always follow any instructions you provide closely, from medication to mealtime routines, and I keep the home tidy and secure while you're away.

“Hilda is an absolute gem! She has been walking and caring for my dog, Tango, for quite some time now, and I can honestly say she’s heaven-sent. Her care and attention to detail are unmatched. I often have to travel for work, and knowing Hilda is there gives me such peace of mind. She makes sure Tango is well-fed, hydrated, and walked throughout the day. It’s incredibly hard to find someone you can fully trust with your fur baby—but with Hilda, I know Tango is in loving, capable hands.

Flower R.
“Flower is an amazing person with a big heart, (especially when it comes to pets/animals) and an amazing pet lover, whenever I/we go away for a long period of time we take our cat to her. She alone has a cat and fostered a cat from someone who couldn't take care of it. When she was staying at a friend's who's indoor outdoor cat had baby's outside, she took them in, got the mother to take care of the baby's and took care of the baby's (checked their weight, help one that was constipated, help train them to use the litter boxe etc.) till they were old enough to go to their forever home”

“Elizabeth has been a life saver for my family and our pets. She cares so deeply and goes the extra mile to make sure our pets are taken care of and assuring and updating us along the way when they are in her care.
