“Erica was prompt, reliable and sweet to our two small pups. We received regular communication from her with photos. The moment we met her we felt confident that our puppies (who are like babies to us) would be well cared for and she exceeded our expectations. I recommend her for sure! Thank you, Erica!”


About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 5 years of experience caring for my own dog, cat, and bearded dragon. I also spent a year working at a kennel, where I gained hands-on experience with pups and kitties of all sizes and temperaments. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feedings, or just a little extra TLC, I’m here to treat your pet like family. When I’m not caring for animals, I love playing video games, writing, and spending time with my husband. I’d love to meet your furry (or scaly!) friend! I’m currently a full-time homemaker, which means I have plenty of time to take care of your sweet pets! It’s always been my dream to open up an animal rescue, so this is just another great step in that direction! I understand the anxiety of leaving your pets when going on vacation or a needed trip somewhere, but I can promise you’ll be leaving them in good hands, and that you’ll receive frequent pictures, updates, and anything else to ease your mind!

“100% would rehire Aleisa! After a 10 day trip away, our house was left in spotless condition and our Wendy was happy and healthy. Wendy is a timid dog and the only thing she really needs is attention and love and she definitely received that! So happy we found Aleisa!!”

About: I have taken care of pets more than half my life. I am willing to take care of them however you need. They will get the care as if they were my own. I truly love animals! I am off for the summer and I am very flexible. I am available whenever is needed. I prefer to watch your pet at your house but I am also flexible with that. The dog will be able to be out all the time. We are at home all the time. Your dog will be treated very well in our home!

About: Personally I have 2 of my own dogs, I have experience with pregnancy and birth! Multiple breed care small and large! High energy, low energy, whatever needs to be done! I also have experience with medication distributions. I’m currently working part-time and have free time in my day-to-day schedule and I love animals and to help others! I am also available for overnights! In my clients home, I keep the house neat and tidy and pick up any messes made by your fur baby! I keep a watchful eye on them and make sure they are getting what they need plus a few treats!

About: I grew up working on my grandmothers farm and helped managed a rescue of birds, reptiles, farm animals, rodents and house pets. I now have three dogs and rebuilding my farm! I’m a stay at home mom for a 9and 3 year old but I’m pretty flexible with time as I have help! I can work with what ever schedule you have and if not and can work to help find someone for you! I have an extensive history of caring for pets, whether my own or others, including feeding, playing with them, talking to them, keeping them company, and much more while their owners are away, at others home I try to play and confer them as much as possible try and keep them on their routine and try not to change much of their daily style.

About: I have had dogs of all sizes my entire life. Most recently I have raised an Australian shepherd, Bernese Mountain Dog and golden retriever. I have dog-sat since I was a teenager for friends and family. I am currently in medical school and although I cannot currently have a dog of my own here, I go home frequently to love on my parents dogs and would love to love on yours! I am free most days with the exception of a few hours when I am unable to be there due to class or clinic responsibilities. I am currently unable to take dogs in my home due to my currently lease but I have years of experience with dogs and am excited to care for yours!

About: I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs; I don’t have a preference between the two. I have two cats of my own from the same litter. Im willing to stay overnight with your fur babies or make multiple visits in a day for care and play with them. I work a regular 9-5 working in ABA therapy, so I can make morning and evening visits for up to an hour at a time. I like to give my cats two meals a day with a mixture of wet food and dry food. They like lots of cuddles, which is perfect cause so do I. I mostly pet sit for my parents when they go out of town, and I like to take their lab for walks and pets.

“Kimberly did an excellent job of house sitting our 3 furbabies. She is very pet friendly and loves them as if they were her own. Kimberly maintained excellent, prompt and professional daily communications with us. Kimberly followed all the instructions given to her at a high level of detail and asked questions if needed. Kimberly took excellent care and was very attentive to our furbabies needs during severe thunderstorms. Kimberly is a very professional, caring, respectful, loving person. We will definitely have Kimberly house sit our furbabies again. We highly recommend Kimberly for caring and sitting for your pets.”


“Andrea is wonderful. She doesn’t seem to meet a stranger. Very comfortable with her right off the bat at the meet and greet. Sent pics and keep me posted. Definitely will use her again!”


About: What sets me apart is the care and attention I give every pet, especially those with special needs. While I’m new to sitting for other dogs professionally, I have a senior dog of my own who is both diabetic and blind. I give her insulin twice a day and help her safely navigate daily life, so I understand the patience, consistency, and love it takes to care for older pets or those with medical needs. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I'm a newly registered EMT currently looking for full-time work, and in the meantime, I’m looking to stay active and productive doing something I enjoy—spending time with animals! Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule right now, and I’d love the opportunity to give your pets the attention and care they deserve while I have the time to fully commit to them. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my focus is always on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I stick closely to their usual routines—feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications—so they feel at ease while you’re away. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs, whether they’re energetic, shy, or require special care. Cleanliness, communication, and compassion are always part of how I care for animals.

“When my senior tripawd, Sarge, developed a vestibular issue a week before our trip I wasn't at all sure I'd be able to leave him, particularly with a new petsitter! But Samantha kept in contact to see how he was doing and offered to come by again two days before we left to see how he was feeling and what we were doing to help him. I don't know if it was her presence or the treats she brought but that was the first real meal he'd managed in a week! She managed his meds, balance issues, and lackluster appetite like a pro while still keeping our little Poot girl spoiled and happy! She found so many creative ways to build up Sarge's appetite. I got plenty of updates and she didn't hesitate to ask about any concerns. I still didn't expect to see Sarge so happy and well on his way to recovery. And Poot had a marvelous time with a human who properly appreciates her cuddles! I've been a petsitter for over 15 years and I know how hard it can be, especially with older or ill kiddos. But Samantha was amazing! She worked so hard to make sure my pups were healthy and happy (and thoroughly spoiled!). Her experience and abilities are outstanding. I've really enjoyed working with her and it's such a relief to have a trustworthy petsitter again!”


About: I’ve taken care of all different types of animals, from large to big, from bathing them to giving them medicine. Friends and families always come to me when they need their pets watched after! I am currently going into my freshman year of college online to become a vet tech! and with having so much free time I’m able to give your pups all the attention and loving all day everyday! I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space, I also have a 6 month old pup of my own who’s ready to welcome your fur baby and also have company!

About: Ahoy, pet parents! I’m a retired Coast Guard veteran with 22 years of service and over 30 years of caring for animals—both on land and at sea. Whether your pup needs a daily walk or a comfy port to stay while you’re away, I’ve got you covered! I offer reliable, tail-wagging walks and safe, loving boarding with plenty of belly rubs and play. With me at the helm, your furry friend gets first-class care, every time. So drop anchor and relax—your pet’s in shipshape hands! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—it’s not just a job, it’s a lifestyle. As a retired Coast Guard veteran, I thrive on structure, reliability, and purpose, and caring for animals gives me all of that and more. Whether it’s morning walks, afternoon check-ins, or overnight boarding, I plan my days around the needs of the pets in my care. I’ve been around animals for over 30 years, so feeding, walking, playtime, and even administering medications are second nature. Every day is a mission to keep tails wagging and whiskers twitching, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. In My Home: Your pet’s safety and comfort come first. I have a secure, fully fenced yard perfect for supervised play and exercise, as well as clean, comfortable kennels for pets who need their own space to relax. I follow your pet’s routine—meals, meds, walks, and cuddle time—to help them feel right at home. My home is calm, structured, and always pet-friendly. In Your Home: When visiting your home, I treat it with the utmost respect and care. I stick to your instructions and your pet’s normal routine—whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or litter box cleaning—to minimize stress and keep things familiar. I also provide regular updates so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. No matter where I care for your pets, they’ll get dependable, loving attention—just like they’re part of the crew!

“Jessica was great! It's not easy letting a perfect stranger house-sit for you but Jessica did great and totally put my mind at ease. She was great with my 3 babies and I would definitely use her again.”


About: I’ve owned dogs my entire life and couldn’t imagine a world without them. My love for dogs eventually led me to working with them in ways such as being a kennel tech for boarding schools and even being a personal sitter for family and friends while they’re away. I am very comfortable with all sizes and breeds and would love to meet your adorable pups! Currently I’m a stay at home dog mom to 2 pups. This has given me a very open schedule to be able to care for your dog or cat at any time of the day. Although I haven’t offered it yet, I have 2 very friendly dogs and could potentially in the future be available for play dates at my home. Until then I can care for your pet in the very comfort of their own! I will be sure to be VERY respectful to your home and will follow any instruction given in curtesy to ensure your pets enjoy every visit. Cleaning up after myself and any pet messes will also not be an issue!

About: I've always had a deep love for animals, and caring for pets has been a big part of my life. From dogs and cats to chickens and rabbits, I have experience providing attentive care, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, administering medication, or simply offering snuggles, I treat every pet as if they were my own. As a pet-mom to 3 senior dogs, a calico cat as well as chickens, I understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities. I take the time to provide personalized care that keeps tails wagging and purrs coming!! As of right now, I have plenty of availability for petsitting with no other conflicts in my schedule. I am available at short notice as well. I have several unfenced acres for pets to play and explore on! My pets stay on our property but always have leashes for the babies that need it! Our dogs and cat are free to go indoors or outdoors at their leisure. I also have a room available to separate pets if needed. I have the room to bring in crates if your baby uses one.


About: I'm a lover of all animals, willing to accommodate special hours or instructions, if medications are needed I'm comfortable doing that as well. Have been pet sitting for 10+ years and have yet to meet a dog/pet I don't adore? I'm willing to work with anyone's pet and meet them beforehand to make sure they feel comfortable with me. A pet should always come first so I would want to make sure I can accommodate their needs. I'm a firm believer in in also having a healthy relationship with pet parents and most certainly encourage any questions to make sure your pet and I both be comfortable each other before accepting any job. Please feel free to contact me, I'll answer any questions about myself and background as well as provide references. I am currently a part-time student so my schedule can work around yours. I set my school hours accordingly, therefore it doesn't interfere with the care of your pet. Patience goes a long way when it comes to establishing a connection with a pet. Pets are attached to their owners and some can become sensitive or withdrawn to new people. It's up to me to form a bond with all pets. Most pets I have come across form relationships easily, however there are cases where pets may come with a past. Such as being rescues whose previous owners didn't treat them well . In such cases lots of love, attention and patience would be given on my part to ensure that your pet feels safe.
