“Mary was so kind and quick in response! She came over to meet our animals and so we could show her their routines. Our animals were well cared for and loved!’ Communication was great throughout!”


“Alex, It was so nice to know someone who like’s to spend time with dogs was checking on ours. I am hoping you are interested in helping us out again. I don’t know the dates yet but will be for a weekend in Oct. I will get back to you. I am also trying to figure out how to send you a tip. I am not so good at this tech stuff. Thanks again, Tina”

“Karen has been a real lifesaver! She has helped out on several occasions (with very short notice) to check on my two dogs and cat. I really appreciate her and my beasts look forward to seeing her again soon!!”


About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior pets needing extra patience and attention. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment that keeps pets comfortable while their owners are away. What sets me apart is my ability to adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I’m comfortable with basic puppy training, leash walking, administering medication, and following detailed feeding or care routines. I also have experience caring for senior pets, including providing gentle mobility support, monitoring health changes, and maintaining consistent routines to reduce stress. Above all, I treat every pet like family—making sure they feel secure, cared for, and happy while you’re gone. Pet care fits well into my daily routine. I work during the day and am available after 5:00 PM on weekdays, which allows me to provide evening walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I’m also available on weekends with flexible scheduling for longer visits, overnight stays, or extended care when needed. I make sure to plan my schedule carefully so I can give each pet my full attention and maintain consistent, reliable care. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment in every pet care situation. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely to keep pets comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I make sure doors and gates are secured, maintain a clean space, and always supervise pets during walks, feeding, and playtime. At my home, I have a Siberian Husky, so I’m very familiar with active, high-energy dogs and understand the importance of structure, exercise, and safe introductions. Above all, I focus on building trust through consistency, clear communication with owners, and treating every pet with patience and respect.

About: I have been house and pet sitting since I was in high school. Friends, family, and neighbors are always asking if I can care for their animals and homes! I used to shadow a family friend who had a pet sitting business and I loved tagging along! I work full time as a teacher, but I get off at 2:35 so my weekdays have free afternoons and evenings. Weekends are completely free and I’ll be able to care for your pets any time of day. I can easily commute to your home to care for your pet. I don’t mind transporting your pets if needed. I will take great care and consideration when entering your home and ensure safety, fun and love for your pets!
“Rachel did an amazing job checking on our cat! Our cat is normally pretty shy around new people but seemed to warm up to Rachel pretty quickly. Rachel also kept us updated and sent pics everyday. Overall, she was great and we will definitely have her take care of our cat again!”
“Lauren has now watched our kitties for the third time, and each time we are so pleased and relieved each time she visits. The short narrative of her visit, along with pictures, let us know KC and Phoenix are in great hands! With each visit, and now multiple bookings, we can see KC is extremely comfortable with Lauren. Unfortunately Phoenix just loves to hide...but they too will one day be friends. We highly recommend Lauren for anyone who needs loving care of their pets.”
“Caitlin did an excellent job taking care of my fur babies while away. She provided thorough care attending to their individual needs and personalities. I highly recommend Caitlin!”

About: I provide reliable, attentive pet care and understand how important it is to keep pets comfortable while their owners are away. Every booking includes morning and evening updates with photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. I have hands-on experience caring for multiple pets at once, including dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. My responsibilities have included feeding, walking, exercise, playtime, and ensuring each pet receives the individual attention they need. I've cared for family pets, friends' dogs, and pets with unique care requirements. In addition to dogs, I have experience caring for other animals such as lizards and fish, which has taught me the importance of following care instructions carefully and maintaining consistent routines. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to provide a safe, stress-free experience while keeping their normal schedule as consistent as possible. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I'm often available for daytime walks, drop-in visits, and extended companionship during house-sitting stays. I'm currently a full-time college student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide pet care throughout the week, including weekdays, weekends, and varying times of day. This flexibility helps me accommodate your pet's routine and provide consistent care while you're away. Because of my flexible schedule, I'm often able to spend more time with pets throughout the day than sitters who work traditional 9–5 jobs, helping them receive more companionship, exercise, and attention. I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment in every pet-sitting experience. Since I care for pets in their own home, I respect your space and maintain your pet's normal routine so they feel secure and comfortable while you're away. During walks, your pet's safety is my top priority. I use secure leashing, stay aware of our surroundings, and avoid potentially unsafe situations such as busy roads or unfamiliar dogs. I take the time to understand each pet's behavior, personality, and comfort level to ensure safe and enjoyable walks.
About: Hi! My name is Meredith and have grown up caring for dog breeds such as German shepherds, labs, corgis, and schnauzers. I am comfortable around any breed! I also have experience caring for indoor & outdoor cats and can follow whatever protocol you need to keep them happy and healthy! I’m currently home for the summer from college and taking an online class while working remotely. I coach volleyball on Monday and Wednesday evenings but I’d still be available for visits before and after! I’m really available at all times as long as we can communicate expectations! I do not offer pet care in my home to protect my pet rabbits who are free-roam. However, in your home, I will follow all protocol you ask me to complete while providing many pets and cuddles and whatever playtime they love! It is important to keep your pet’s brain stimulated, especially when they are anxious because their owner is away!
“Megan did an excellent job of taking care of our two cats while we were away. She kept their litter boxes exceptionally clean and they were quite content when we got home. I would not hesitate to use Megan again, she was responsive and very kind.”

“Pam was great. I appreciated the daily text and photo of my pup which eliminated any anxiety I had prior to and during our family vacation. Hope she will sit for us on our next trip away.”
About: I've been a dog owner for 19 years, including multiple breeds and puppies. I have an extremely flexible schedule to ensure your pup gets the care and attention they need, all on 1 acre for them to enjoy. I work from home, so your dog will never be left alone for long periods of time. I live on one acre with plenty of space to run, roam, and sniff. I can tailor care in my home to your pup's needs, whether it's crate or baby gates to keep them safe. If I'm sitting in your home, I'll always follow your guidance and instructions.
About: I have had dogs my whole life along with reptiles I also worked as a dog bather and take care of my family and friends pets when they go on vacation I am currently in school looking for a part time job I have 3 dogs of my own but would love to meet and play with other pups I have a small fenced yard where my pups go potty but I like to take them to the park to run and take my puppy on walks to keep up his training
“Courtney was amazing! This was the first time we have had to leave our dogs with someone other than family, so we were a little nervous since our dogs can be a handful with their anxieties. The first time our dogs met her, they were already comfortable with her. Throughout our vacation she was always in touch with us and sent us pictures. Even though we are back now, the dogs still look excitedly in the morning to see if she is coming, so we will definitely be using Courtney again in the future!”


About: Hi! I’m a college student and huge dog lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I currently have a German Shorthaired Pointer, so I’m very familiar with high-energy dogs and the attention, exercise, and care they need. I also volunteer with a local shelter through their Doggy Day Out program and help out with a local rescue, which has given me experience working with dogs from many different backgrounds and temperaments. On top of that, I regularly dog sit and care for dogs in my area for friends, family, and neighbors. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, exercised, and loved while their owners are away! 🐾 My schedule is very flexible! I nanny Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday mornings, but I’m available most afternoons, evenings, weekends, and many weekdays for pet care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs to help them feel safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away.
