About: I’ve been a dog lover since about the age of 10 when we got my family dog, Shadow, a cockapoo. As a kid and while growing up, I even trained Shadow to compete in agility competitions and took him to training weekly while also practicing with him in the backyard! When I moved out, I got my own fur baby- a golden doodle named Bubity! Obsessed doesn’t even begin to describe how much I love my dog as I have a water bottle, pair of slippers, shorts and sweatshirt with him on it! I promise to treat your dog as if they’re are my own! I’m currently working part time as a nurse while also attending classes virtually for my masters. My schedule changes weekly but I usually know it about a month in advance! I am pretty flexible on my days off and and willing to work with you in order to help take care of your fur baby! I have a fully fenced in yard and my 1 golden doodle at home. I am more than happy to host your dog for play dates in our yard. I know how hard it is to get a routine set with your dog whether it be something as simple as turning the TV on before leaving the house, walking a specific route to get them to go potty or giving them a special treat when they’re going to be left alone. Whatever your routine is, let me know and I will follow it to its entirety!
About: With 15+ years of experience caring for both cats and dogs, I provide loving, dependable pet sitting tailored to each animal’s personality and needs. From energetic pups to shy kitties, I treat every pet like my own—because they deserve nothing less. I’m a clear and thoughtful communicator. I keep pet parents informed and reassured with regular updates and check-ins. I currently work from home, so I’m very flexible with morning, afternoon, or evening visits. Let me know your schedule, and I’ll be there. Looking forward to meeting your pet! Although I don’t offer my in-home services, I am able to drop in on pets at client homes! I can easily follow feeding schedules and routines to make your pet feel safe and comfortable while you’re away!
About: I have been working at a dog day care for 6 years, which is how I got into dog sitting. I also worked in the veterinary field for 3 years. I am currently working full time 7:30/8-4:30/5 so I am not at home during the day. I am usually home by 5:30 at the latest. i have 2 dogs that are super good with other dogs so i usually take them on walks or to the park and let them run around
About: I have worked with animals all my life, including caring for dogs, cats, guinea pigs, horses, cows, and reptiles. I grew up providing basic first aid for my pets on my farm including bandaging, medications, and baths. I have worked with dogs from small jack russel terriers to large livestock guarding dogs. Most recently I helped my mom rescue and retrain a geriatric blue healer/beagle mix. This includes potty training and basic manners on and off the leash. I also administered medications 2x a day in the form of pills. I have also had experience giving injections for medications. I am well versed in all types of animal care, a quick learner, and great at following instructions. I’m a new stay at home mom with a flexible schedule. I have 2 dogs of my own so adding more into our routine just makes sense! I love to explore, hike, and go for drives. It’s even better to do these things with a furry companion. Let me show your furry friend the joys of nature and lots of love and care.

I live an active lifestyle style and love going on long walks, so your dog will get plenty of fresh air and attention! I am available for weekends and weekdays at any hour.

Melissa W.
“Missy is the kind of sitter every pet parent hopes to find. From our first meet-and-greet, she connected instantly with our two spirited miniature schnauzer boys, Franklin and Benjamin, and treated them as if they were her own. While we were away, Missy sent thoughtful updates and photos that captured their personalities—whether they were chasing squeaky toys or curled up for afternoon naps—so we never had to wonder how they were doing. Beyond the sweet snapshots, Missy’s professionalism shone through in every detail: prompt communication, meticulous adherence to their feeding and walking routines, and a spotless home when we returned. If you’re looking for peace of mind and pups who come home happy, tired, and thoroughly loved, book Missy. Five stars simply don’t feel like enough.”
