“Monika did great walking our dog every day for a week while we were on a vacation. We had complete trust that our dog was in good hands. She also went the extra mile by giving our other dog some attention while she was at our house.”


“Leann was great! Our pup had surgery and she was extra cautious with him. Asked questions. She truly cares and was a great help for us! Thank you! Highly recommend her and she'll be my first request in the future!!”

“I am so happy I chose Carolyn. My dog sometimes takes a while to warm up to people, but she liked Carolyn right away. Carolyn is an excellent and prompt communicator, which I really appreciate; my dog always looks so happy when Carolyn sends me pictures from their walks. Thank you so much for all your hard work, Carolyn!!”

About: Pets just get us, don't they? No judgment, no bad moods, just pure, tail-wagging loyalty. That's exactly why finding the right person to care for your fur baby matters so much, and I don't take that trust lightly. I've been the go-to pet person for family and friends for years. I'm the one they call when they're heading out of town or stuck at work late. I'm a lifelong animal lover and dog owner (currently kept very busy by my own dogs), and I treat every pet in my care like they belong to me. I offer drop-in visits, walks, and cat check-ins. For drop-ins, I'll come hang out with your dog, make sure they're fed and loved, and I'm happy to grab your mail or water your plants while I'm there. For cats, I'll be upfront: I have a slight dander allergy, so extended cat sitting isn't in the cards, but check-ins are totally doable. I run my own business alongside pet sitting, so my schedule is flexible by design. I build my day around the animals in my care, so mornings, afternoons, weekends — let's figure out what works for you. If you're looking for someone who genuinely loves animals and will give your pet real attention (not just the bare minimum), I'd love to meet them. Reach out and let's chat! I work from home running my own business, so my schedule is flexible and I build pet care visits around your needs rather than squeezing them into a rigid routine. Pets are a priority, not an afterthought. When I'm in your home, I treat it with the same respect I'd want for my own. Your dog gets my full attention during visits — no rushing in and out. I make sure doors and gates are secured, nothing gets left out that shouldn't be, and I'll always leave things exactly as I found them. I'm also happy to do a quick walkthrough before we get started so I know your dog's routine, any quirks, and where everything is. The goal is for you to come home to a happy pup and zero surprises. I am unable to board in my own home, but I'm happy to come to yours.
About: Ever since I can remember I've always had a dog in my house, all different kinds. My own, and some of my parents fostered or took in temporarily from friends. I'm ready to walk, run, play, or nap with your pupper or kitty! Some of my favorite things are walks, fetch with a ball, and blowing bubbles. I have a dog named Wheezer and a cat named Titan. I'm so excited to meet you and your furry family members, thank you so much for your consideration! I am currently self employed in theatre (in the process of creating my own company) and have lots of spare time, especially during the day, to help take care of your pets! I have a high functioning car, and am ready to travel to you and your pet and/or being them to their favorite park! I live in an apartment, so my current favorite way to help out is to come to you and your furry friend!
“Erin was a life saver this week! With my husband out of town for a week and me with my hands full with a three year old and baby, getting out to walk our energetic and LOUD husky was going to be a challenge. Erin was always right on time and such a great communicator. I liked and trusted her immediately and Aurora Dog warmed up to her right away as well. She started waiting at the door for her in the morning. Thank you so much Erin!”


About: I’m an extremely compassionate and well informed pet sitter with many years of petsitting experience for friends, family, and neighbors and I’ve owned pets my entire life. I do wildlife rehab for work and care for a variety of pets at home, so I have experience in taking care of most types of pets (birds, reptiles, mammals, etc) and not just dogs and cats. I am loving and empathetic to all living creatures and pets tend to gravitate towards me, so you can relax knowing that your pets are in the best hands I’m currently working random days, typically in the PM, but other than that I don’t have any other obligations. I’m usually only gone for 6-7 hours at a time when I’m working, so I can stop in throughout the day. I’m a homebody, so all my free time will be dedicated to being around and caring for the pets I have experiencing drawing up and administering meds orally and via injection in a professional manner. I can accommodate for any of your pets needs, whether they are elderly, special needs, or have intensive instructions

I have fostered dogs and puppies with a local rescue, The Bond Between (formerly known as SecondHand Hounds) since 2020 and have leash, crate, and potty trained them. I have babysat numerous different dogs and cats during the past four years and would love to care for more and gain more experience! I have even cared for reptiles such as bearded dragons and snakes. I currently have two dogs and a pet gecko! 🩷 I’m currently in my sophomore year of college and trying to save up more money! So I have plenty of time for your furry friends!

I would love to get to know your dogs and cats better. currently, I am available to offer support to all of my clients and my time is flexible. I do have an dog of my own, so I can help to take care of your pets, however, depending on location. I may need to return home at the end of the evening. All of these these details can be worked out between us and we can find the most important times for me to come by and add you and your pets.

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats my entire life and regularly help neighbors, friends, and family with pet sitting and drop-in visits. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, administering basic medications, and caring for both energetic puppies and senior pets. I treat every animal like my own and prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication with owners. I work full-time but maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate daily drop-ins, walks, and overnight care when needed. Pet care is built into my routine — caring for my own animals is the first and last part of every day. I prioritize reliability and consistency, and I communicate clearly about availability. My home has a fully fenced yard with plenty of secure space for supervised outdoor play. Inside, I have hardwood floors and an open layout with room for pets to relax comfortably. I have two crates available if needed and maintain structured areas for feeding, water, rest, and play. Safety, supervision, and routine are my top priorities, and I ensure pets are monitored and comfortable at all times.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes since I was a kid. I had 2 dogs growing up so I am used to big energetic dogs as well as small. I have a lot of experience with anxious and high energy dogs and am comfortable and enjoy taking care of them. I moved away from home for college so I miss my dog a lot so I am looking for some new furry friends to play with during the school year! I am a college student so my availability varies daily, I am available most weekdays (time depending) and weekends. I am available for multiple times a day if necessary. I have a dog at home who tends to run away often so I am well trained in keeping doors closed keeping an eye on them etc. I am good at following any specific instructions for any special requests a dog would need.
About: Hello my name is Chelsea and I love animals. Growing up I lived on a hobby farm with cats, dogs, horses, goats, fish and chickens to now when I have reptiles, two dogs and a cat. My dream job would be to work with animals every day and build a trust between owner and sitter because I know the feeling when you can trust that your animal baby will be cared for to the fullest extent. I have always cared for animals and have been to a few basic animal emergency classes that I learned a lot from such as cpr on cats, dogs and reptiles to learning basic signs of pain or uncomfortably. I can’t wait to meet more animals and am excited to start. I have always had a routine and the pets were just a part of that. If I leave the house the have each other but I’m never gone for more then an couple hours. I care for them as I would my own, they are apart of the family and I wouldn’t want it any other way. If they need water; I would fill the bowl, same with food. If they needed potty break I would take them outside; and if they wanted to cuddle and watch a movie on the couch I would allow it.
About: Ive loved animals since I met my first golden at age 2 and have been obsessed with every kind of furry friend since. Im the parent to an elderly Jack Russell with a super sassy personality and have a special place in my heart for seniors pups and those with unique personalities!

I have some experience with varying dog behaviors and always enter into meetings with safety in mind making sure that i'm doing all I can to to ensure your furry friend feels safe and met where they are at. Im committed to understanding your pets specific needs and what works best for them!
“Kari was great and very professional. Even though my pup was just a little too rambunctious on their walk Kari did the professional thing, and let me know for his safety it wasn’t a great fit, and I very much appreciated her honesty and professionalism! Once I get my pup some extra training we do hope to use Kari in the future!”

About: I have experience with dogs of all ages I have had puppies and elderly dogs! I also have experience with administering medications and sick animals. I am available any time after 11am on Tuesdays, I also have a flexible work schedule that allows me to walk or visit your dog at almost any time! When in a client home I like to make sure the dog stays in their routine they have so that they can remain stress free, for each dog I like to make sure they get the correct amount of exercise for their age and energy level!

Lyndsy is great! She took time to come over a few days before we needed her so she and Buxxie could meet. She’s clearly really comfortable with dogs and my pup, who is on the anxious side 🥴, settled in with her very quickly. Highly recommend! Thank you so much Lyndsy!!
