About: I've been a dog owner my entire life and can't imagine a home without pets. With that said, as a pet owner I know our lives get busy and sometimes we need a little help with our furry family members. I would love to come walk or just stop in and spend some time with your furry family member(s) when you can't. When my kids were younger I spent some time volunteering at a local shelter where I walked and taught the dogs basic manners. I have also been helping a few of my neighbors with their dogs and cats for the past 2 years. So, if your schedule has gotten a little hectic, I'm happy to lighten the load and help you with your pets.
About: I’ve grown up caring for both large and small breeds, including Cane Corsos and Shih Tzus. I’m patient, reliable, and love building trust with every dog. I’ve house sat for neighbors and friends for years, and I’m confident with senior dog care, giving meds, and sticking to routines. I treat every pup like my own! I work part-time on weekends, but I’m fully available during the week for walks, drop-ins, or overnight care. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and have plenty of flexibility to give them the attention and care they need. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just company, I’m here for them! In a client’s home, I follow all routines closely, feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their own space. I give lots of attention, keep things clean, and send regular updates so you always feel at ease while you’re away. Your pet’s happiness is my priority!
“Sophia was wonderful. You can tell she truly loves dogs by the way she interacts with them. I had to find someone last minute to come in and check-on Pennie. She was prompt in getting back to me and came right over the next morning for a meet and greet. She sent me updates and photos of Pennie which was great. I would highly recommend her and will be using her when I need a sitter for Pennie .”
“We were so lucky to have Stacy take care of our dog Mila while we were away! Mila takes a lot of medication and Stacy made sure she takes everything on time. She went above and beyond to make Mila feel comfortable with a new person in the house and by her second or third visit Mila was already as exited to see Stacy as she is to see us. Stacy answered all my questions and was available to discuss how Mila is doing 24/7”
“Danielle was incredible. I have 2 very large somewhat exotic cats along with a really big dog and she was immediately just as excited and intrigued as I am about them from the minute they first met. Great communication and really great photography too! I think they all really miss her now because they keep going to the front door looking for something at the same times of day she was usually here. That’s a great sign to me! Most definitely booking her again and again. Thanks Daniele!”
“It’s always stressful leaving your babies behind for a few days but Dana took great care of our girls. She sent us updates and photos with each visit and took excellent care of our home as well. We will definitely use her in the future.”
About: Hi! I’m an experienced and loving pet sitter who treats every furry friend like family. I’ve cared for both dogs and cats—whether it’s dog sitting for my uncle, house sitting for a family friend with pets, or just spending time with my own pup (aka my best friend), animals have always been a big part of my life. I’m here to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away! I offer overnight stays, daily walks, playtime in the yard or at the park, and lots of love and attention (and treats!). Whether your pet needs cuddles on the couch or a high-energy adventure, I’m happy to match their vibe and keep their routine consistent while you’re gone. I will also send pictures of your furry friends everyday and upon request :) I am currently working full-time as a senior analyst, but the position is remote. I can stop by your house on my breaks, before work, or after! I can also stay and work remote at your home if needed. I only offer care in the client’s home to ensure your pet stays comfortable in their familiar environment!. I stick to your pet’s routine—feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddle time—just as you would. I always respect your space, keep things clean, and provide regular updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away.
About: Our journey as a professional pet sitter began 3 years ago, and since then we loved it! We are experienced in providing care and love to a variety breeds, sizes and ages of the fur babies. Our furry guests will have the privileges of enjoying the gentle care along with the routine walks, bonding activities and musical entertainment in a clean and affectionate home. I am a stay-at-home mom so my schedule is pretty flexible for watching your fur babies. If I need to go out and run errands, I take the furry guests with me. We have 2 caged-in bunnies, and it's quite a surprise that they are not afraid of dogs! The bunnies can be relocated to upstairs if needed. Your fur babies will have supervised play in the backyard, and we always make sure to keep our house organized for safety reason. Please let us know your instructions from the vet for any special needs.
“Kayla is wonderful! She is prompt, and friendly, and connected with both of our cats right away. Our kitties were very happy and content when we came home, which means to us that they were well cared for. Thank you Kayla!”
“Elizabeth went above & beyond! A family situation caused last minute changes and she was so helpful. She took AMAZING care of both my pups and communication was fantastic. I will definitely reach out when I need a sitter again.”
About: What can I say... dogs make the world a better place! Your fur baby deserves lots of love and attention. I've loved dogs since I was a kid. As an adult I've had the pleasure of bonding with and caring for a number of breeds varying in ages and sizes over the years: from shy teacups to oversized mushes. Since 2023, I decided to make more time for sharing my love and playfulness through dog sitting, dog walking, play dates and even doing dog portraits! With my flexible schedule as a freelancer, I enjoy making time for play dates, snuggles and most meal times with your sweet fur baby throughout the week. If you're interested in having me dog sit overnight, we can consider it after 3 completed regular visits to your home (over a minimum of 2 calendar days) to make sure everyone is comfortable beforehand. Do you prefer that your sweetie is crated, gated or free roaming in your home after their fed & walked? Do you and your furry best friend have a specific routine? Let me know! Routine and consistency can help develop trust and reduce anxiety which are so important in doggy care.

Diane takes such good care of our puppy Bunny! She has been caring for her the last few months and goes above and beyond what we ask of her. She is prompt at communication and extremely reliable! Our neighbors even comment on how great Diane is in her care for our puppy. We’d recommend her to everyone.
Lisa was absolutely fabulous!! We had her watch our four cats through drop in visits. She was extremely reliable, always on time, took extra time to make sure they were doing ok, and communicated to us regularly along with pictures while we were on vacation! Will definitely use her services again! Thanks Lisa!!
