“Whenever we have to go out of town, it is a welcomed relief to know that we can call on Denise to watch our sweet pupper, Maggie! Denise is friendly, reliable, dependable, trustworthy, always does a great job and, most important of all, Maggie loves to see her which tells us a lot! All we have to say to Maggie is, "Denise is coming to see you!" and she gets very excited! Highly recommend! A++!!”

7. Bri L.
About: When your pet stays with me, they are family, and treated as such. I have experience with elderly and hospice pets as well as special-needs pets, young puppies, medication management and administration (liquid, pill, and injections) and some training experience as well. Well versed in pets with special care requirements (i.e. animals with anxiety, reactivity and/or other behavioral challenges). Because I work from home, I can be with your pet throughout the workday, and can easily step away to give your pet potty breaks and attention. I prefer to do house-sitting based pet care, as I’ve found that animals are most comfortable in their home environments. I am also happy to water any plants that may need it, as long as instructions are provided. Happy to work with large animals, amphibians, fish, and reptiles as well. Do note that house-sitting based pet care includes light house maintenance/cleaning as well such as vacuuming and laundering the guest sheets used. I like to leave the houses I care for as neat (if not neater) than they were upon my arrival. I work from home and can easily step away to care for your pet. When pet sitting, I generally don’t leave the house I’m sitting at for more than a couple of hours at a time for things like groceries, and errands, so your pet would have reliable supervision and company. I am a very cautious and risk-aware person, always mindful of keeping doors and gates shut and ensuring the environment I’m pet-sitting in is safe and secure.

“Lucia is an old soul who is very grounded and responsible. She has always delighted in nature. Lucia has been left with the responsibility of a hobby farm with up to 20 animals and handled many situations. She now helps care for our 2 rescues and also volunteer fostering for a local shelter.”


9. Sarah L.
“I have know Sarah for 14 years and she has the biggest heart for pets. I would trust her with any of my dogs and my Bulldog would move in with her if I let him. He is always so excited to see her and she loves him up! I have watched her care for her own pets from dogs to guinea pigs and she is very responsible and shows so much love and kindness. I would gladly have her care for my dogs anytime! She is the best.”


10. Levi B.
“Levi is great with pets, kind, patient and compassionate. He is very responsible and trustworthy. I would highly recommend him. He will be a great friend to you pet and loves to throw the ball.”


11. Isabella D.
“Bella LOVES animals—especially dogs. She volunteers to walk our dog in freezing weather so we won’t have to go out, and other times just for fun. She often picks up our Sophie to have company at her home while she studies. Sophie gets all excited when she hears Bella’s voice, hardly letting us talk with her. When we throw the ball she will return it to Bella. Any pet would be lucky to have her take care of him.”


12. Kevin K.
“Kevin cares deeply about animals and it shows in how attentive and patient he is when he interacts with them. Kevin has a rescue bulldog of his own and it is wonderful to see the joy that playing, walking and simply being with his dog brings him. Kevin has volunteered and worked at an animal shelter and has cared for animals with a variety of different needs. He is extremely reliable, trustworthy and proactive and goes above and beyond in providing safe and enjoyable environments and interaction with each dog and animal he meets!”


13. Chelsea M.
“Chelsea is an exceptional pet sitter - she took the best care of our two dogs while on vacation. Our dogs are also not easy dogs. One is still a puppy who is constantly counter surfing and very high energy. The other is anxious and reactive, so requires extra attention. Our anxious dog also happened to be sick while we were away, and Chelsea took the best care of both. She was patient, understanding, and caring. She truly went above and beyond to make both dogs happy and comfortable, which is not easy to a dog with anxiety. I am so happy we found Chelsea and will definitely ask her to watch our home and dogs in the future! She is the best! 10/10!”


14. Christine C.

“Christine was awesome! She was great with my cat and played and cuddled with her.”


15. Jessica S.
“Jessica has taken care of our dog (and hamster!) on numerous occasions. She is communicative, responsible and always follows through on what is asked of her. Our dog, particularly, is quite old and requires special food & medication. Jessica has always been able to handle the asks & changes around that with no issues. She genuinely cares about the animals she takes care of and I would recommend her in a heartbeat!”


16. Angelina T.
About: I've taken care of my dog since I've been 15, along with this I've helped out my neighbor with dog and cat sitting for three days while she was away! I am open to walking them, playing, etc. I'm currently working a full time job with somewhat inconsistent jobs. I am looking for stuff to put in my days off, slow days. My work schedule changes rather frequently, but I try to be flexible. I currently have a dog with a heart murmur that has to be walked up and down the stairs with limited jumping. Along with that, I am used to feeding him his medicine, feeding him. Crating them if needed and I'm not scared of any scratches or bites that may occur in moderation.


17. Deyjah Thai W.
About: I have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs of various breeds and ages. I'm a beginner at administering medications and have intermediate experience working with special needs dogs. I provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to each pet's unique needs I take care of my high-energy dog daily, which has taught me the importance of providing consistent exercise, mental stimulation, and a structured routine. Caring for an active pet has prepared me to handle dogs with similar energy levels and needs, ensuring they stay happy and well-cared for. In my home, I provide a safe and welcoming environment for pets, complete with regular exercise, playtime, and a cozy space to relax. I maintain a consistent routine to help them feel at ease and follow any specific instructions from owners, such as feeding schedules or medication needs. When caring for pets in my client's home, I prioritize keeping their routine intact, ensuring their comfort in a familiar environment. I treat their home with respect and provide updates to owners so they can feel confident their pets are in good hands.

19. Lexi C.
About: I’ve owned dogs as well as various other small animals since I was very young, and I have experience caring for the pets of family friends. Besides my experience with pets, I also have an extensive background in leadership roles which have taught me to be dedicated, responsible, and communicative. These skills combined with my love for animals makes me the perfect candidate to be your pet’s professional best friend! I’m available every day from 9:00am-8:00pm for drop-ins and walkings. I may be available earlier or later on weekdays and possibly on weekends depending on my schedule. I’m able to feed/water your pet, let them out into a fenced backyard, play with them inside or outside the house, provide minimal grooming, administer medications, and take them on a walk. I also may be able to stop by multiple times a day depending on the time.
