“An absolute wonderful person to watch after your pet! She was so loving toward Charlie and he had an absolutely blast with her while I was out of town. Big thanks to Theresa!”

“Arantza has been absolutely fantastic. She is reliable, dependable, and clearly cares about the dogs she works with. I have complete peace of mind knowing my dog is in her hands. Highly recommend her services.”


About: I volunteer at a local animal shelter and have experience caring for both cats and dogs of all ages and personalities. I’m comfortable working with young animals, fresh litters of puppies, pregnant dogs, senior pets, and everything in between. I understand that every pet has unique needs and will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I am currently giving softball lessons, but because it is a self made schedule, I have plenty of availability to check in on your pets! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress free. I prioritize safety, follow all care instructions closely, and make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I also respect your home, keep things clean and tidy, and provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away!
“Lynn was fantastic. She put our dogs at ease right away during the meet and greet. She had great communication. We will definitely be using her a lot more for our pups!”

About: I have experience with puppies and senior dogs and everything in between. I grew up with dogs and know how to care for them. They will be in good hands! I currently have a cat who is very friendly! I am a grad student with night classes, so I'm home during most of the day. I have a part time job but it won't get in the way of caring for your pet! I have a spacious apartment that will house your pup nicely. My apartment also has a park area that would be perfect for walking and playing with dogs!
“I had a great experience with Jaime! She was quick to respond and worked with me to find a time that suited both our schedules. She arrived on time, was incredibly sweet with my dog, and really took the time to connect with her. It was clear she genuinely cared and made sure all of her needs were met. I would definitely recommend her and will continue to use her services moving forward!”

About: I have lived on a farm since I was born and animals have always been a huge part of my life! I am very passionate about making sure all furry friends live a fun and safe life! I love meeting new animals and learning all their different personalities. This summer, I am available most days to hang out with your furry friends! I am currently a teacher on summer vacation looking to make some extra money, and get in her animal fix! Message me and we can get something in the books! I am always having one eye on them at all times. Whether we are on a walk, in the backyard or just in the house. I prioritize the safety of your best friend!
“Madelyn had been walking our dog during the week for the past couple of weeks and we honestly could not be happier!! She communicates beforehand to verify the schedule each week. She is consistent - picks up our dog for a walk same time each day! She provides us with pictures and updates on how the walk went. Our dog Emma can be a little extra (German Shepherd energy) and Madelyn is great with her! We are so thankful we found Madelyn!”

About: I have had pets my whole life and love to spend time and play with all animals. I have been dog and cat sitting for 8 years for coworkers and friends. I have a 5 year old Catahoula Hound mix that I adopted from the SPCA! When I house sit he does need to come with me. He has never had issues with other dogs or cats. I am a medical assistant during the week for Bronson and would love to spend time with animals on the weekends or after work playing or going for walks. I make a point to let the animal smell and come to me. It is their environment and they don't know me yet! Once they are comfortable I love to get on the ground and play.
About: What sets me apart from others is my passion, knowledge, and attention to detail. I have a special interest in training and managing reactive dogs and socializing puppies! I work full time at a local vet clinic & do pet sitting on my days off (Friday-Sunday) I have 3 dogs of my own as well! I care for your pets in YOUR home which I believe makes them more comfortable! I do drop in visits with the duration of your choice. ❤️
About: I have had pets of many kinds almost my entire life and many friends have entrusted me with the care of their pets while away. My friend who ran a successful rescue trusts me with her medically complex rescues. I follow whatever instructions are there with special attention paid to any medications that need to be given or other special details. I'm a freelancer that spends too much time sitting while I work. I'm very excited to add more walks into my life and a bit more out of the house time taking care of your furry friends when you need! In your home I will do everything in my power to take good care of your four legged friend. Whether that means medicating them at the right times, chilling on the couch for a bit of snuggling, or playing fetch in the backyard (or living room) until the exciteable animal is a little more chill from getting energy out.
“Lexi was fantastic. I had a last minute trip and she was so easy to book with. She was very attentive and had my puppers taken out on time, every day. Thank you Lexi! I will definitely be rebooking with you in the future.”

About: (if in need of a "constant care" visit, please mention that in your request so we can discuss that rate). From childhood, I have always been responsible for animals - caretaking both family pets, and those of friends. I officially began taking clients two years ago. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs as well. Nothing compares to the feeling of making sure a pet is well-cared for and happy. I've always been a friend people turn to for taking care of their animals while they're away. I have a client who is gone quite often and care for her animals several times a month. During the work-week, I still offer to stop in on my brother's two dogs. Animals are a priority in my life! I've prioritized my leash training skills and am very accustomed to going on many walks per day as well as providing tasks to keep dogs happy and healthy.
About: Since I was a young girl, I have always had family pets who have quickly become my best friends. I just spent three months back home in FL taking care of my family pup while my parents were away, so with my recent move I am missing him extra :( I have always cared for him whether that be dog sitting while my parents are away, walking & feeding him, or even just cuddling on the couch. I am a sensitive and caring individual and have a sweet spot for dogs, treating each as if they are my own. I am an avid animal lover and fall in love with every dog I meet. Since I do not currently have my own dog, I am always looking to spend time with friends and families pups. As your care provider, I can promise daily updates including photos, calm and patience with dogs of all ages, playtime and exercise, flexible scheduling, overnight stays, and most importantly love and attention to your prized pups. Having recently graduated college and graduate school, I just moved to the city and am currently searching for job opportunities so I have lots of free time on my hands and LOVE doggies! I have lots of experience caring for my own families dogs, along with other friends and families companions. I will ensure your pets are happy and loved as I spend time with them. I also will make sure your home is secured and the safety of your pets is my number one priority while I care for them!

Madelyn had been walking our dog during the week for the past couple of weeks and we honestly could not be happier!! She communicates beforehand to verify the schedule each week. She is consistent - picks up our dog for a walk same time each day! She provides us with pictures and updates on how the walk went. Our dog Emma can be a little extra (German Shepherd energy) and Madelyn is great with her! We are so thankful we found Madelyn!

Kimberly is a total gem! She took the time to connect, play, and make sure my pup felt comfortable and happy. She kept me updated with photos, thoughtful notes, and little details that showed she really pays attention. It gave me total peace of mind knowing my fur baby was in such kind and capable hands. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, professional, and genuinely caring, I can’t recommend Kimberly enough. My dog absolutely adores her—and so do I!
