“Very friendly and welcoming sitter. Took great care of our two German shepherd puppies. Their dog was very well behaved and helped our puppies with their socialization skills. Recommend.”


About: I have over 15 years of experience with pets. Friends and neighbors regularly trust me with their pets because they know I’m dependable, calm, and truly love animals. I create a safe, low-stress environment where dogs feel comfortable and cared for like family. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or sticking to their routine, I’m committed to making sure your pup feels at home while you’re away. As someone who’s retired, I have the time and flexibility to fully dedicate myself to pet care. My daily routine is centered around the dogs I watch whether that means long walks, playtime, or just keeping them company throughout the day. I’m home the majority of the time, so your pup will never be left alone for long. This allows me to follow their schedule closely and give them plenty of love and attention. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I have a secure, fenced yard for outdoor time and play, and my home is calm, clean, and pet-friendly. Dogs are welcome to roam, nap on cozy beds, or play with a variety of toys. I can provide crates if needed, follow any feeding or medication routines, and keep things consistent with what your pup is used to. I only take a small number of pets at a time to ensure plenty of individual attention, snuggles, and supervision throughout the day.

“I recently had to leave my dog with a sitter for the first time, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Alycia took such great care of my dog and made her feel completely at home. It was clear that my dog was happy and comfortable, and I felt at ease knowing she was in good hands. Highly recommend!”


“Edwina was great with our epileptic dog and seemed experienced with every scenario she faced with him. Her and her husband ensured that he got his meds every morning and night and even stayed up with him on his first night there when he couldn’t sleep. I would absolutely recommend her services and will seek out her help if/when it’s needed again!”


“So grateful they could watch Cove last minute! They were really sweet with him and sent me pics and updates the whole time, which made me feel so much better about leaving him. I’d definitely recommend!”


About: Dogs, cats, birds, and fish . . . These are some of the best friends I’ve had over the last 45 years. All of my pets have lived long, healthy lives based on excellent feeding, grooming, and regular medical care. I genuinely love animals and have a very watchful eye on their well-being. I am a retired school administrator with a 36-year history of creating productive learning environments and protecting the lives of thousands of school children. Care-taking is my thing. Now, I have a very flexible schedule/calendar, and I am wide open to opportunities to meet and care for animals of all shapes, sizes, and colors. I am available to follow instructions for drop-in or pet/house-sitting in the client’s home—including feeding and letting dogs out for potty breaks, feeding and checking in on cats, and feeding fish or birds.

About: I have been taking care of dogs since 2016, when I purchased my own. For 5 years now, I have been offering pet care services in my home and in my clients homes as well. I have experience with litters of puppies (my dog had one litter of 9 in 2023, they are both now fixed). I am familiar with medication administration as well as senior care and following strict diets! I currently operate my own cleaning business and have open availability and a flexible schedule to do dog walks, drop in care, and over night stays as well! I like to make sure animals stick to their schedule and have a safe environment to play in. I do not have a fenced in yard, but it is a large backyard with ample space to run and play. If care is done in your home, I make sure to follow all rules provided and make sure the animals are in a safe place at all times!

“Michelle was a fantastic sitter for our Pepper. She provided daily updates and photos, and it was apparent that Pepper was enjoying his time with her. We highly recommend Michelle”


“Tianna was wonderful. She took great care of my 11 month old boxer for 2 weeks. She sent me pictures daily of Gracie and kept me up to date as to how she was doing. Recommend Tianna to anyone wanting someone to love and care for their dog.”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes since I was 18. I lived with as many as 6 dogs when I was younger, so I can balance a lot. Currently I have a 6 month old puppy and she is potty trained and I can train puppies to do basic tricks. I work from home and am a full time college student so I stay home often! I use my phone a lot for work so I have no problem sending constant updates as well. I wake up super early and maintain an active lifestyle as well. I have a fenced in backyard and have a spacious living room area where they can nap or lounge around. I work from home and can offer close surveillance and reporting if needed! I have two beautiful girls that are also super active so if you need your baby tired out and having fun they will help with that!

About: I will provide excellent care for your dog/cat and satisfy all your needs. I will take care of any type of breed, no matter how big or small. My cares include dog walking, grooming, drop in visits, and I will do some special requests. If you have a dog park or any park nearby , I will glady take them and let them have fun. I also have a dog park near me. Please text me if you have any questions. I look forward to caring for your furbabies. Thank you very much and have a wonderful day 🫶🏻 I am currently working full time from home as an hr assistant. My schedule is flexible and I am able to handle requests as needed. Client home means client rules. I will abide by the rules and make sure your animals feels safe no matter where they are. Your furbabies are the main priority.

About: I’ve moved a lot and everywhere I went my one job that stayed consistent was pet sitting. I started watching family friends and neighbors pets at age 10. Pets have been a very big part of my life since I was little. I do want you to know the price could be higher or lower depending on the specific situation. I’m currently working from my home . I’m available for boarding 7 days a week. I’m at my house full time and would love to have some furry friends over. I live on base, which has dog parks and is very safe. I take walks around my neighborhood frequently so you don’t have to worry about your pet not going out. I don’t have a big fenced in backyard but it is good for small dogs. I have a kitten who loves dogs and cats. He’s very sweet and lovable. I work part-time from my home so i’ll have plenty of time to play,cuddle, and walk your furry friend. My job allows me to choose my own hours so i’m able to make your pet feel loved when they are here. I have a small fenced backyard good for small dogs. I also have a very friendly kitten who loves dogs and cats. There are a lot of dog parks by me along with a lot of places to explore.

“Shannon is the best! She’s always so excited to spend time with you. I don’t know where she still finds all that energy after all you have her doing throughout the day. Thanks again for taking such good care of Piper.”


About: I have taken care of all types of animals for about 5 years now. I raised my current 2 goldens and am used to giving animals lots of attention, love, and care! I am a student so I have class occasionally but am very flexible and never typically away for more than 3 hours. I also have my own transportation. I am used to very high energy pets and understand the need for lots of walking, playing, and attention! I have had experience with a wide variety of ages and sizes and can tailor my care to your pets needs. I am also very attentive to any mood changes and detecting sickness, and am highly responsive when a pet isn't feeling well.
