“Highly recommend! At the meet and greet she was so easy to talk to and our dog Luna loved her! While we were away I didnt worry if callie and luna were taken care of, she sent pictures of them getting all the love and attention. I think our house was cleaner than when we left too, 10/10 will be using every time we go out of town!”

About: I provide compassionate and trustworthy pet care and treat every pet as if they were my own. Your fur baby’s happiness and comfort are always my top priority I know how important it is to feel at peace when leaving your pet, and I’m here to help with that. I currently have free full time availability as I am taking online college classes, I am available anyday anytime Monday-Sunday to help love and care for your pets. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and loved while maintaining their normal routine. I follow all feeding instructions carefully, make sure they always have fresh water, give medications if needed, and keep their space clean. (I used to work in a veterinary office.) I spend quality time with them through walks, playtime, and gentle attention so they don’t feel lonely or stressed. I also watch closely for any changes in behavior or health and communicate updates to the owner so they feel at ease.
About: I have experience with taking care of older dogs, puppies, kittens and adult cats. I love all breeds! I ensure a safe and lovable environment for your pet. They deserve the love and treatment they get from home from me while their owners are away. I enjoy outdoor time with animals such as walking or simply playing around with them. I am currently a full time student, currently on Summer break. I am currently flexible until school starts in August. Updated schedule will be listed then. My apartment is quiet with open space for my pets to roam. I keep blinds open for my cats to observe the outdoor while also enjoying some relaxing sunbathing.
“Janie is so sweet and amazing! She watched both our dogs last minute while we went on an 11 day trip. She was very responsive and let us know any updates that we needed with plenty of pictures! Highly recommend”

“Stephanie took such great care of our dogs while we were out of town! She kept us up to date and was there when she said she would be! Will definitely be using her again!”


“Casey was very thorough and thoughtful caring for my three dogs. I have one dog who is a senior and another who has heart issues. Casey confirmed their medications were administered at each visit. She let me know they were eating and drinking, and included any points that might be of concern. She included lots of pictures too. She also planned her time each visit to make sure they had some time to wind down and have a drink inside after play time outside. Her clear notes showed how attentive she was to them and gave me a lot of peace mind.”

“Katherine did a fantastic job taking care of our pups. For two weeks, she was very consistent with two drop-ins per day and sent us great write ups and pics for each visit. It's a comforting feeling knowing that our pups were being well cared for while away. Katherine is very good with any senior dare care needs and is excellent at her job. We give her a 10 out of 10, Gold Star rating and we will definitely have her care for our pups again soon.”

“Kristyna was wonderful with our painfully shy cat, never giving up on trying to earn her affection during my 9-day trip out of the country. She was reliable, flexible, and communicated in detail. I would definitely recommend her and would use her services again!”

“Samuel is great with my furbabies! He responds promptly to requests, arrives on time, and keeps me updated. I've used his services several times and will keep using him for house sitting and drop-in visits.”

“Briana is great with my dogs and cat. She always provides the best care and services and treats them like they’re her own. She quickly earned the trust and affection!”


About: I have owned dogs since I was 14. I currently have 2 dogs of my own. I also volunteer with animals and have dog sat for several friends over the years. I love cats but have not babysat any, only loved them at others homes. I currently work full time but mostly from home. Some days I am out in the world but usually for no more than 6 hours at a time. Majority of work hours are Monday - Friday 8-5 Pets have free range at home unless they need to be crated. Have a fenced in backyard and can also walk dogs if preferred. Large neighborhood to walk them around. Also have a responsible teenage daughter who can help with feedings and bathroom breaks. Trash can is in the pantry for little to no access.
“Monique stepped in a few months ago when we unexpectedly needed someone to help us take care of Echo. She’s been helping out for several months now and we couldn’t be happier. I know my girl is being well taken care of, enjoying some sunshine, cuddles, and treats when in Monique’s care. Monique is professional and is great at communicating updates, highlights, etc. She’s always sending lots of silly and sweet photos of Echo’s adventures during every drop in/walk. Echo can have some separation anxiety and being a frenchie she can overheat easily, but Monique is always calm and reassuring towards Echo and always mindful of her needs. Monique always goes the extra mile and so I can’t recommended her more highly, 5/5 stars.”

“We’ve worked with Ashley a few times now and have had such a great experience. She is reliable, flexible, and has incredibly strong communication throughout the process. Most importantly, she’s wonderful with our puppy and clearly genuinely cares. Even handling medication administration when needed. We very feel comfortable leaving our dog in her hands and would absolutely recommend her to others!”

About: Whether it's engaging in playtime with a rambunctious pup or providing gentle, attentive care for an older dog, I'm dedicated to ensuring that every dog in my care is happy, healthy, and well-adjusted. My passion for dogs drives me to continually improve my skills and knowledge, and I take pride in offering the highest quality of care to every furry friend I have the pleasure of looking after." My pet care services are incredibly flexible due to my rotating work schedule. While my exact availability varies week-to-week, I often have a considerable amount of free time during the weekdays, allowing me to provide reliable, consistent care for your furry friends. Whether you need someone to check in on your pet during your workday, take them for a midday walk, or provide overnight care while you're away, I'm confident that we can find a schedule that works for both of us. Communication is key, and I'm always open to discussing your specific needs and finding a solution that ensures your pet receives the attention and care they deserve. My home is a pet-friendly environment with a fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely play and explore. I don't have any pets of my own, so visiting pets will receive my undivided attention. My wife and two daughters, aged 8 and 15, are all animal lovers who are respectful and gentle around pets. They're excited to welcome your furry friend into our home and provide them with love, affection, and playtime. You can trust that your pet will be treated like a member of our family while in our care.

About: I have been an animal lover my entire life. As soon as I was capable of walking, I was helping care for our family pets. The majority of my life was spent in a household with three dogs (and two cats!) at any given time. We have had multiple Labradors, a German Shepherd, a Newfoundland, a St. Bernard/Collie mix, and a Greyhound mix. I am very comfortable around large-sized dogs! I have also house-sat for friends and neighbors many times over the years, so I am quite familiar with the understanding and respect required when not only looking after a beloved pet, but the home as well. I can also tend to cats as well, emptying litter boxes and checking on food and water, or just providing a good cuddle if necessary. I'm currently working part-time, so have plenty of time for taking your pup on a walk or dropping in to check on your pet during the day, Wed-Fri and most Saturdays. I cannot board dogs in my own home, but if you require drop-in visits or overnight stays, I treat everyone's home with respect, taking care to follow any and all house rules as discussed.
“Debbie is wonderful! We have been using her the last few weeks to walk Maggie. Maggie is very timid and debbie has done a fantastic job at developing such a sweet relationship with her. We get detailed updates and pictures after every walk. Cannot recommend Debbie enough!”

Katherine has been an incredible support! She consistently arrives on time and maintains her focus and engagement with Phoebe, ensuring she has the chance to go potty and enjoy some quality one-on-one time outdoors. Even on rainy days when outdoor play is disrupted, Katherine excels at keeping Phoebe entertained with engaging activities and a positive attitude inside.

The absolute best pet sitter! She watched my cats. She was the most caring sitter we’ve had. She was cleanly all while being so nurturing towards my kitties. She even went above and beyond making sure they had everything. We had to extend our trip due to unforeseen circumstances, she was flexible and willing to accommodate the extra days. I can’t recommend her enough!! We love love love Ali!!

Highly recommend! At the meet and greet she was so easy to talk to and our dog Luna loved her! While we were away I didnt worry if callie and luna were taken care of, she sent pictures of them getting all the love and attention. I think our house was cleaner than when we left too, 10/10 will be using every time we go out of town!

Kristyna is the best! She took such great care of our girls while we were gone, and went above and beyond sending us lots of updates and amazing photos. I know our dogs had the best time with her and we will definitely be using her again! Highly recommend!!

Virginia was an amazing help with my pup, Cooper! I needed someone to walk him 4–5 days a week, and she never missed a beat. She always kept me updated with any notes or fun details from their walks. When new obligations came up that meant she couldn’t continue walking Cooper, she gave me plenty of notice and even offered to keep walking him for a couple more weeks while I found a replacement. I’d definitely recommend Virginia to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker or sitter!

Tiffany was a wonderful sitter for my cat, Ched! I had a little scare with Ched right before I left on my trip and Tiffany was so reassuring and extra communicative with updates and everything else! Her updates were always so thorough with plenty of pictures of my sweet guy. Can’t recommend her enough!!

Vanessa was great at keeping our many animals (3 dogs, one cat) happy for a long 10 day trip we had out of state. She administered meds, took dogs out for play, sent pics, and even cleaned up a potty incident in the house! Very communicative and our animals were all well taken care of. Highly recommend.
