About: I've had the pleasure of caring for dogs since I was 13. I've had my own dogs, as well as caring for and watching many friends' and neighbors' dogs overnight. I simply adore dogs and I believe they can sense it. I'm very patient, calm, & will treat your dog with the upmost of care. I'm dedicated to dog sitting and walking! My schedule is flexible and I'm available 5 days (Sunday through Thursday in the day), and overnights Sunday through Thursday as well. I'm comfortable staying over a client's house. I'm respectful of property and very clean. I will become fast friends with your fur baby and play with them for hours.

This was our second time with Steff caring for our two (very needy) sphynx cats and, once again, she was very attentive and professional. As other reviews have noted, Steff loves animals and she provided great care while maintaining frequent communication while we were on vacation. Steff sent lots of photos of the cats at play, which is always reassuring when you are thousands of miles away, and they clearly enjoy her company. We highly recommend Steff to take care of your pet or pets and we hope to use her next time we are away.

I could not be happier with how Marianna took care of my cat. Kunkcles was well taken care of while I was away. Marianna did everything I asked. I will definitely return to her in the future if she is available.

About: I’ve had animals my whole life. I’ve pet sat and cared for many of my friends and family’s animals as well as my own. I am physically strong and can handle walking bigger dogs. I also volunteer at an animal shelter and have taken care of, walked, and medicated animals of all ages and sizes. My work schedule is pretty flexible and I can fit dog walking before or after I work. I’m usually off on weekends so I’ll have even more availability then as well. I do not have a fenced in yard so I will not bored dogs at my house. I will gladly take your dog on walks and can even come to your house to watch your dog when needed.

We just completed our first week with Samantha and everything went great. Our small cockerspaniel usually can’t adapt to new people and he took to her right away. It is nice to have a trustworthy local person for our family. We would very much recommend Samantha.

Samatha really helped us in a last minute need! She was communicative, prompt, and thorough. Unfortunately our Bonnie had an accident in her excitement to meet her new friend and she was kind enough to clean it up while we were out too. Will definitely use Samantha to help out with Bonnie anytime we need!

Joanne took care of our 3 pets during drop-in visits over a 3-day period. Joanne showed great care while feeding and interacting with Fiona (our 10 year old pit bull), Davlin (our 17 year old frail cat), as well as Moshie (our shy 13 year old cat). Joanne provided detailed information regarding her care for the individual needs of each of our pets during each visit. She also provided numerous photos of each animal while visiting. Prior to her drop-ins, Joanne came over for a Meet and Greet in order to go over details while visiting, as well as getting to meet our pets. In addition, Joanne kept us up to date with each interaction while visiting and any questions or concerns that she or we may have had during the visits. Without a doubt Joanne demonstrates a tremendous amount of care and professionalism in every aspect while working with us and caring for Fiona, Davlin and Moshie. I look forward to having Joanne care for our pets in the future, as well as highly recommend anyone who has a need for someone to care for their pets.

About: With over 10 years of pet care experience, I bring dependable feeding routines, fun activities that keep dogs busy, gentle but consistent discipline, and genuine loving attention that helps every pet feel safe, happy, and understood. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine because I have plenty of free time and a flexible schedule. Running my Etsy business on the side allows me to work from home, making it easy to prioritize walks, feedings, playtime, and companionship. Pets get my full attention, consistency, and care throughout the day. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I make sure their space stays clean, tidy, and respected. I provide a safe, calm, and trusting environment for their dog, focusing on consistent routines, attentive supervision, and plenty of love. My goal is to ensure both the pet and the home are well cared for at all times.

About: I’ve taken care of a variety of dogs for 10 years. I have lots of experience with large/giant dogs, senior dogs, and puppies. Previous dog owners have been satisfied with my dog walking, house sitting, bathing, and medicine administration. I love them like they are my own. Hours available for dog walking are dependent upon the day. I am available everyday for dog sitting and house watching. My work schedule is Thursday-Saturday and Tuesday. I am available every night for overnight dog sitting. I love to bring my work to dog sit, this way after your pup is tired out from playing or walking, we can relax together and they get some cuddles. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I live in a community with lots of paths to walk, as well as a beach to play at if allowed. When I let dogs out into the yard I make sure to keep a close eye on them (we don’t have any escape artists!).

Brandi took care of my three pups for the day recently. She was very thorough and conscientious. My oldest dog had just had surgery so there was extra concern there about trying to keep them from playing too rough. It also involves keeping them I. Separate sleeping areas so that the other two wouldn’t lick his sutures. She handled all of this extra work very well.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had a great experience with our pet sitter, Sammy. This was our second time using her, and once again she did a wonderful job. She came twice a day to feed our three dogs—Halo, Cookie, and Mindy—and took great care of them. It’s such a relief knowing our pets are in good hands. We’re very happy with her service and will definitely continue using her in the future!

Katlyn has been great with our two dogs! She is punctual and sends photos when the drop-in is completed. She did a great job feeding the two dogs in one of the drop-in visits and even administering medication for our puppy with allergies. Would highly recommend Katlyn!
