“Tracy walked my dogs daily for three years and even when he was in the hospital he got someone to cover for him. He took extra special care of my boys and I dread moving to a new city and trying to find someone that comes even close to his level of caring and expertise. Hes the best there is in the area. Try him and you'll never go anywhere else.”
“Paris is wonderful and a natural with my girl. My senior chihuahua was recently diagnosed with heart disease and had to go on two medicines and Paris was able to give her both. My dog is picky with people and got along so well with Paris. She gave detailed updates and took good pictures. She truly cares for animals.”
“Lisa was really good with Jaxon, he is shy around strangers. It took him about 10 minutes and he was all over her. She was a breath of fresh air and very patient. Love her!”
About: We are a husband/wife team. We have owned and loved pets most of our lives. Especially, cats and dogs. We give them that extra special attention they are craving when you are gone. Clint always loved brushing out his doggies fur. We both love to walk and play with our furry friends. We are both very easy going and friendly. Clint is legally blind. He doesn’t need a cane. Leah is my right hand. We do everything together, and together we make a great team! Clints disability is NOT a complication. We have pet sat several times over many years. We both have a completely clean background. We have never had a problem with drugs or alcohol. After years of pet sitting for family and friends, we thought, We should make our own little business! Really looking forward to meeting you and your furry friends!
About: I have experience taking care of all types of dog and cats, and multiple at a time. While watching them, I would feed, walk, and play with them. I am pretty flexible with my schedule, I am a new mom and will would bring my newborn with me. Whatever you would need for your pet, I will work to provide the best care for them! I am a new mom and am home full time. I have a very flexible schedule and would bring my newborn baby boy with me. I will watch your pets very closely either at your house or walking through the neighborhood or park! They will be well taken care of.
“We were hesitant to leave Blue w “just anyone”, but after meeting with Jennifer and seeing how she interacted with her helped us get over the hump. Jennifer was totally awesome and my wife and I were able to enjoy our time away, knowing that Blue was in very capable hands. Will use her services again??, and again?”
About: Excited to provide safe, reliable drop ins, walks and now Baths! I have 1 year of grooming experience and would love to see more pets! Message me today! ☺️ I'm excited to see pets from 6am-10pm. Special pricing for repeating (daily or weekly) visits. I am devoted full time to pet care, and grooming - reach out and schedule today! After conversation with the client regarding possible safety risks, I am confident in my ability to carefully watch pets, throughout the pets being in my care.
About: I can't remember a time that I've ever not had a dog. I can bathe your dogs if you like and do some mild grooming such as nail trims and teeth brushing if you like! I volunteered at an animal rescue for 4 years and was lead of their recruitment team for new volunteers. I have some medical experience as well! I work part time as a surgical technologist. I just graduated from college with my second degree and want to eventually do something that has me spending all my time with animals. I volunteer when I can and I also foster puppies! I will ensure that your pet is well taken care of. If there is ever a time that our pets will be left alone, I will have a plan for separation. And they will never be alone for more than 2 hours at a time. I have a 6 foot privacy fence and will send you constant pictures of your babies. I also have two dogs of my own. They are 4 and 5! I also have cats living in the home. I do have a crate available if you would like your animal to be crated at any point. I'm happy to give meds if your baby if needed as well!
“Excellent working with our extremely traumatized dog. She works a lot with her before she could get her to go outside. There was an extreme amount of extra effort on Randy’s part five out of five stars definitely would hire her again.”
About: I've grown up surrounded by pets—from energetic pups to laid-back cats—and caring for animals has always been second nature. For the past three years, I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for my family during vacations, making sure their pets are safe, happy, and loved. I bring that same level of care and attention to every pet I meet! Working third shift gives me a flexible daytime schedule, which means I’m wide awake and available when most people are at work. Whether it’s morning walks, afternoon playtime, or midday check-ins, I have the time and energy to give your pet the attention they deserve. I provide care from my apartment, creating a safe and cozy environment for your pet. I live in a very quiet pet friendly neighborhood. I'm also physically strong, which allows me to confidently handle larger or high-energy dogs while keeping them safe and happy
About: Hi there! I’m Ada— a lifelong animal lover with over 17 years of experience walking and caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I’ve grown up with larger dogs in my family for all of my 18 years of life! Whether it’s a high-energy husky or a shy senior pug, I tailor every walk or visit to your pet’s unique needs and personality. I understand how important it is to feel confident in your pet’s care while you’re away, so I make it my mission to keep them happy, safe, and well-exercised. I’m always on time, easy to reach, and happy to send photo updates after every walk! Please feel free to reach out! Pet care is an important and consistent part of my weekly routine, even though my part-time job schedule changes week to week.

Most weeks, I’m available for morning or evening walks, drop-in visits, and weekends I’m very open. I’m always happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pet is cared for when you need it. Safety and trust are at the heart of how I care for every pet. Whether I’m visiting your home or welcoming your pet into mine, I make sure they feel secure, comfortable, and cared for at all times. When pets stay with me, they’ll be in a clean, calm environment where they can relax and be themselves. I don’t have other pets, and I never leave pets unattended for long periods.

When walking or visiting pets in your home, I take the same care: checking gates, leashes, and surroundings to keep everything safe. I treat every animal with patience and respect, and I know how important it is to earn both your trust and your pet’s.
“Lydia is very kind, considerate, and prompt! She lets you know what's going on well a head of time if things need to be changed in the schedule. 10/10 Will definitely use again! Oh, and my Trudy likes her too 🤩😂”
About: I grew up with always at least six dogs in our care and two cats. I also have had experience rehabbing orphaned puppies and kittens, as well as some wildlife. I used to be a senior foster for hospice care, so I’m used to going above and beyond for comfort and high needs for animals! No request is too much for the good of the animals :) Because I’m a teacher, I’m especially looking for summer availability right now, as I’m typically wide open during this period. During the school year, I have varied availability. I have two friendly dogs and four friendly cats. My backyard is fenced, and my neighborhood is wonderful for walking with many winding sidewalks and beautiful trees.
