“Really appreciate how professional and thorough and punctual Ashley is. Will definitely book again! Thankful for her🙏”


About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats of a family friend and it’s been my absolute favorite thing. I would love to be able to come love on your sweet babies. I have plenty of experience with my own pets. I’m the girl who always gravitates towards pets in each home I enter. I’m currently working at a daycare as an assistant teacher and I work from 7-3:30 in the Germantown area. For the weekends, I’m 9 times out of 10 free. It’s rare I’m super busy and even then, I will make sure I have time to check on your fur babies. I have a fenced in area and a huge yard. I do live with my parents who have 4 dogs and 3 cats between us.

“Megan was very good with Nyx”


About: I am very conscientious and caring. I have owned and cared for a lot of different animals. I will put your mind at ease and will work with you for the top quality care of your pet. I have a wide open daily schedule. I am an early riser and very flexible to meet your needs. I have a horse I visit and want to fill the rest of my time helping others with pet care. I have experienced firsthand how hard it is to get someone you can trust to look after your furry family and realize it is a need in the community. I currently work with my own two dogs every day to ensure they get the exercise needed and make their dog food from scratch so they remain healthy. I understand that your pet needs interaction and breaks from being by themselves while you are away. Commercial pet boarding just doesn’t cut it and takes them out of their safe familiar environment. Raising their stress levels. They don’t need that in your absence. I can take that stress away and make some friends in the process.

“Natalie was super helpful and professional when it came to caring for my Kenny. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. 10/10 with my highest recommendation!”


About: From my experience in shelter care and veterinary medicine, I am very comfortable with caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and medical needs. I have dealt with strays and owned pets from every imaginable background, and I believe every animal is worthy of patience, respect, and affection. I’m currently unemployed so I have a very open schedule for watching your dogs and cats! I typically let my own dogs out about 4-5 times a day, and they each have their own feeding schedule that I attend to as needed. I am very flexible right now, and would also be available to do fluids, injections, and other specific medical and behavioral needs (e.g., extra walks, extra play time, etc.). I have a fenced in yard and three friendly dogs, and two sweet cats, to keep your furbaby company. I am comfortable crating dogs and have an extra crate for a small-medium dog. One of my dogs is a senior dog with special needs, so I am perfectly comfortable housing and caring for dogs who have their own special needs. I also have a dog with epilepsy so I am very used to dealing with seizures and the safety precautions that go along with them. These dogs have also never met a stranger, and our home is an overall very welcoming environment to all creatures (I even have a pet spider!).

About: I’ve cared for pets my whole life and truly treat every animal like they’re part of the family. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, patience, and ability to adapt to each pet’s unique needs. I have experience with senior pets who need a little extra love and support, as well as high-energy pups who thrive on structured play and walks. I’m confident giving meds, handling multiple pets at once, and creating a calm, loving environment whether I’m stopping by for a quick visit or going to the park for a walk. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are always my top priority! Pet care fits perfectly into my weekly routine! I do this part-time, which allows me to give your pets my full attention when I’m with them. I’m available all day Sunday and Monday, late evenings on Wednesday and Friday, and early mornings on Thursday. Whether it’s a morning walk, dinner-time drop-in, or weekend stay, I make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and cared for during our time together. I stick closely to their normal routines—feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I’m respectful of your home and treat it with care, just like I do your pets. I always keep you updated with photos and messages so you feel confident and connected while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, secure, and happy every step of the way!

I follow all feeding schedules closely and make sure they’re eating, drinking, and taking any necessary medications on time. I’m also happy to send photo or video updates, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: I have been caring for dogs and cats since I was a young teenager. I’ve grown up around them my whole life. I had a high needs dog when she was elderly. She had cancer and was allergic to everything. She required regular baths with medicated shampoo, hypoallergenic food, regular ear cleanings for ear infections, lots of medication, doggy diapers, sprays, lotions, and lots of extra love. Because of all the experience I got caring for her, I had thought for long time I might want to be a vet. If your pet requires a little extra love, I am definitely the sitter for you. I absolutely love caring for all animals big and small, young and old. If you have additional smaller pets like hamsters, birds, reptiles, etc.. I will also gladly check on those pets for you while I am there for free! I would love to love on your furbabies ❤️ I have a toddler at home but a completely open schedule to come anytime.

Sam E.
“So trustworthy! My dog loves Sam and Brad. I have used both of them to pet sit for us when we were out of town several times and it was easy to verify that they did exactly what I asked and my Vizsla loved being with them. They walked him, fed him, dispensed his medication and played with him. I felt very comfortable leaving Dakota because I knew he was being well cared for. I highly recommend either and both of of them to care for your pets.”
