“Our puppy had a great time with Diana! She came over the day before our appointment to meet her and get instructions. We got updates and photos of our puppy during our time away which made us feel assured that we left her in great hands. We will definitely use Diana again the next time we need a dog sitter.”


About: I’ve had a dog all growing up and want to take care of yours as if they’re my own. No matter the size, I want to be the best sitter I can be for them and for you! I’m available mornings, lunch and evenings to make sure your dog is well taken care of while you’re gone. I have lots of free time to make sure they are loved and taken care of! I’m used to making sure that your dog enjoys their walk, bathroom break or anything else while making sure they are safe from running away, other people or other dogs! You can sleep peacefully knowing they’re in good hands!

About: I have spent my whole life surrounded by cats and dogs, both my own and others and have an intense passion for caring for animals the right way! I have basic care skills, but can ensure diligence, active and engaging time spent with your animals, timely care, and commitment to following care guidelines to a T. I know what it’s like to leave your animals in the care of someone else. My personal pet sitters are accustomed to abnormally and intensely detailed printed guidelines with care instructions for my animals, so regardless of how detailed your care instructions are, I have the aptitude to follow them in their entirety plus more to the best of my abilities! I am a medical student in my first year, so I do have the ability to have more control of my schedule. I will continually update my time availability to be accurate weekly. I will not commit something that I cannot guarantee availability for! I will only be able to give care in your home due to living in an apartment complex and having animals of my own. But in caring for my own animals, I am quite neurotic in how detailed and specifically I care for them. I make sure my animals have daily mental and exercise stimulation through playing with toys, walking, and engagement with me and each other. I am adamant about giving my animals affection, and provide them meals in a timely and measured way. I brush all of my animals teeth daily, walk my dogs daily, and clean my cats litter box at least twice a day. I am very attuned to subtleties and changes in my animals behavior to ensure that they are in good health! I want to give my animals the best life and care possible just as I will do for your animals!

About: Hi, I'm Stacie! I’ve had dogs off and on for most of my life. We are a dog-loving family (mom, dad, and three teens) and currently have one little guy named Smalls and one slightly bigger guy named Max. I would love to help out with your dog, whether it’s a long walk around the neighborhood, a check-in and playtime, or giving him/her a comfortable place to call home for a few nights. I currently work from home and have a very flexible schedule. When I am away from home it’s usually for no more than a few hours, and usually two or three of us are at the house most of the time (my husband also works from home...and we have two daughters doing virtual school and college classes). If you choose the daycare option, this includes up to 9 hours of care. Please contact me if you need more or have a schedule question. Boarding overnight includes 24 hours of care. I have a large open fenced yard to play with your dog, as well as a nice neighborhood for long walks. I do prefer for dogs to be crate-trained for their safety if I need to leave the house and no one is currently home. My little dog can be slightly anxious about new friends at first but usually warms up quickly since I've been doing this for a while now! Also, we do have several different areas in the house if we needed to separate dogs for any reason. Safety is our number one priority. Your dog will have someone around to give him/her lots of attention and care. Our goal is to meet the needs of your dog to assure they are safe, comfortable, and having fun during their stay!

About: I’ve taken care of pets, especially dogs since my parents brought home my first dog when I was a little kid. I’m used to the responsibility of taking care of animals and making sure they are fed, walked and happy. I’ve also walked looked after dogs for relatives and neighbors who were away since I was a kid. I work from home on the weekdays. I work for myself as well and like to take breaks by walking around my neighborhood so it’s easy for me to find time for your pet. I’m available most the weekend as well unless something unexpected comes up. I have a one room apartment near college hill park, it’s an ideal location for dog walking, as it’s a very safe and walkable neighborhood. Being in a small space makes boarding a little difficult (which is why I charge more for it) but it is doable.

About: My family have had both dogs and cats since I was 14. I’ve been responsible for feeding, exercising and cleaning up after our beloved pets for years! I am working full-time, I have time to care for animals on weekends and occasional Wednesday’s and thursdays! I prefer mid-afternoons but feel free to send me a message and let’s see if we can work something out! I take my own dogs on 40 minute walks 2-3x a week. I prefer to walk smaller to medium size dogs because of my own small frame.

About: I grew up on a farm with pretty much every animal you can think of, including some exotics. I’ve spent many years raising my own animals (cats, dogs,rabbits, snakes, horses, etc) and have also done the same helping out with our friends and family’s pets. I love animals and honestly wish I could bring them all home but I can’t, so this is the next best thing! I can walk your pet on a leash and crate them when needed. I also have 1 friendly dog and 4 friendly kids to keep your fur baby company! If they need a bath I can also do that too! They will be fed, watered and spoiled rotten! I currently work for a job that I can work both in office and remote so my schedule is pretty flexible and can be open to accommodate anyone’s needs. We always maintain water, keep on their feed schedule as well as any grooming schedules they may have. Lots of play time inside and outside.

About: I grew up around animal's and helped take care of them since i was a child. I have a huge heart for dogs I really enjoy spending time with those little fluff balls. I am currently working part-time with a very flexible schedule so I will have all the time in the world for whatever your animal may need I can not have pets over at my home for as the landlord does not allow pets but I do not mind watching them in your home

About: I have owned a dog for as long as I can remember. I’ve had numerous breeds of dogs over my lifetime. I’m new to being a cat owner as I have had a fear of cats since I was a kid. I do work full-time so I would primarily be available on weekends. I could pet sit during the week in the evenings after 5 pm. I have a very large open yard. I prefer to leash a dog and walk them around my yard until they become familiar with it since it’s not fenced in. I have two small dogs that I share custody of but they are friendly and my roommate has a cat that will probably hide while your animal is there lol! My neighbors have a dog but she is in a big dog run. I’m open to pet sitting at my house or your house whichever you and your pet are more comfortable with!

Shannon B.
“Shannon has been a fabulous pet sitter for our family. She is timely and reliable. She has watched our dogs, cat, and has also cared for our chickens. She sends photo updates daily and responds quickly. Our pets are more relaxed staying home and having Shannon care for them, versus when we used to use a kennel. She will take our energetic one on walks and even a ride to Starbucks! She locks up our home carefully and brings in our mail as a bonus. Definitely recommend her as a pet sitter!”
