“I highly recommend William! He took the time to meet our dogs before we left for vacation. He was very attentive, friendly & most of all dependable. I was updated daily about my fur babies with photos & videos. This is the first time I didn’t stress about leaving my dogs at home. They were in very good hands and were cared for, I will book with William again.”

“Allie started coming over and walking my pup last week and she has been wonderful. I just moved here so life has been chaotic and she has been so flexible and understanding. She truly has made mine and my pups life much easier with everything going on! 100% recommend booking Allie 😊”
“Leila is the optimie of the 'perfect dog sitter." Seriously! If you are lucky enough to be in her area and she has the availability, you should consider your search over. I have never seen my Staffordshire Terrier take to someone so quickly. Clearly an 'animal person' through and through, Leila took great care of the dogs, was in constant contact, and went above and beyond in every way. I was in a tough spot, having to leave town quickly and on short notice, and Leila came to the rescue. I absolutely intend to use her again, and highly suggest you stop reading this, and click the 'book now' button immediately. Thanks again for everything Leila!”
“Richard did a wonderful job on the drop-in visits. He proved himself to be a real neighbor, spending time with my senior dogs and making sure they eat their meals. When thunderstorms came through, knowing how jittery they get, he made sure they were safe and in the house until the storms blew through. Thank you, Richard! You helped out in so many ways, all the reviews I’ve read about you were all true! Looking forward to letting you take care of my girls the next time!”
“Amber did a fantastic job. She was able to get my kitty out of her shell. Amber is very compassionate. She went out of her way to make my kitty’s staycation remarkable.”
About: I have had the joy of living with various pets throughout my entire life including cats, dogs, and small animals. Caring for animals of all sizes, ages, and personalities has taught me how to meet each pet’s unique needs and provide them with the attention and care they deserve. I am very passionate about the wellbeing of animals overall, and I believe every animal and every pet deserves to feel love and compassion. I am currently working part-time, and I’m keeping my week open to dedicate more time to pet sitting. My part-time work schedule gives me the flexibility to focus on pet sitting, allowing me to prioritize long walks, playtime, and quality attention for each pet. Pet care is an essential part of my daily life, and I love creating meaningful connections with animals. I currently have a rabbit, and being a rabbit owner has taught me so much about the joys and challenges of caring for animals with unique personalities. When caring for pets in a clients home I aim to ensure the animal is as stress free and cozy as possible. I will follow the animals routine, and give them plenty of love and attention. I will keep the space clean and organized, leaving everything as I found it. I want the animals to feel cared for and loved even if they might be missing their families.
About: As an animal science major and veterinary assistant, I bring a level of care and knowledge that goes beyond basic pet sitting. I’ve worked hands-on with both puppies and senior dogs—whether it's helping with crate training, socialization, or giving medication and mobility support to older pets. I also grew up on a farm raising and caring for animals, so I’m calm, confident, and experienced in handling all kinds of temperaments and needs. Whether your pup is energetic or elderly, I know how to meet them where they’re at with patience, love, and professional-level care. Pet care is already a central part of my daily life. I work full-time as a veterinary assistant from 7:30 AM to 5 PM, so I’m comfortable managing routines, medications, and health monitoring for animals. Outside of work, my evenings and weekends are dedicated to pet sitting—I genuinely enjoy spending extra time caring for animals. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, or keeping pets company, I make sure each one gets the attention and love they deserve, just like I do at clinic. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I treat them with the same love, patience, and attentiveness I give the animals at the vet clinic. In your home, I stick closely to your pet’s routine—feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and any medications—so they feel safe and stress-free. I’m experienced with all kinds of needs, from energetic puppies to senior pets needing extra support. I keep things clean, calm, and consistent, and I always send updates so you know your pet is in good hands.
“Mckenna was great with our pups. She dropped in to check on our two dogs while I was away. She played with them in our yard and sent super cute photos. She also was very communicative and let me know how each dog was doing. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!”
About: I have always been in a house hold with dogs. Growing up I trained them in 4-H and fell in love with dog agility. I am comfortable sitting any age of dog, I currently have a 3-year old Spaniel. I work full-time, but I’m very active & take my dog out for a mile plus walk or jog every morning and evening along with playing fetch in our yard. I have a fenced in yard and take time to play and walk outside with my dog or anyone else's dog. Dogs bring such joy to a home, I think it's important to give them the love and attention that they deserve.
About: I love dogs! I’ve got 3 (hound, poodle and cairn terrier) of my own who love everyone 4 legged or 2. We’ve been doggy sitting for years for friends, and for clients. We’ve got a fenced in yard, and walk in the morning, afternoon, and twice in the evening with a daily park or beach walk/run. We have a house full of toys and smart dog toys to keep dogs active while I’m out and about, or just working on the computer. I think of animals of living beings who deserve respect and love just like anyone else. I love to cuddle them, tire them out and shower them with love. Your pup will get treated as a member of my family, and not as a visitor. I live a dog centric life and work from home, so pet sitting fits in great because I wake up and plan my day around pups. I have a fenced yard with very social and friendly pups who grew up with our regular crew of 25 dogs I walked daily or tool on excursions.
About: I have been taking care of dogs for the past 10 years. I currently have two of my own now, that I keep active every morning taking them on a walk or to the dog park. I make sure my house is dog safe and always clean. I currently work during the day, but I’m usually home by 2 p.m. This allows me to take care of my dog’s needs without having a crazy work schedule. They don’t spend much of their day alone or in a kennel. I have a completely fenced-in yard with a dog door that allows access to the yard. This ensures that there are no spots for the dogs to get into any trouble. Additionally, I can continue to ensure they are engaged in activities they would typically do at home.
About: Leave feeling at ease knowing your fur babies are happy, and safe. I have a loving home full of animal experience, including past fostering of dogs, dogs rescue, dog grooming, and overall love and compassion for all things furry! I come to you! Reliable and excited to help and meet your fur babies. I am available multiple times a day or over night. How can I help?
