“Ashely was absolutely great! She not only took great care of my cats but definitely took the time to get to know them, even though they are shy. Kept me informed and provided pictures each day. Definitely recommend!”



“After two days back home, I can tell my dog Sally had a great visit. It's clear she has really bonded with Christina, and got along famously with her two dogs Cooper and Masie. There's a lovely big play area the dogs can use any time by way of the doggie door, which Sally loved using - her first time using one! Christina and her husband are very welcoming and I know Sally felt so comfortable because the atmosphere is happy and relaxed. At last, I have found someone I can really trust to look after my dog when I'm gone.”


“Jenna was attentive to our cat’s needs and provided us with plenty of pictures/updates! She was beyond pleasant to book with and we will choose her next time we need care.”


About: Hi there! I’m a certified dog trainer with a lifelong love for dogs and years of experience working with pups of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. As my husband and I get ready to welcome our first child, I’m grateful for the opportunity to continue doing something I love—caring for animals and giving them the attention they deserve. Whether your pup needs to run off some energy or just wants a cuddle buddy, I’ll treat them like family and make sure they feel right at home. There’s truly no better way to spend my time than with your fur baby! I’m currently a stay-at-home dog mom, so I have the flexibility and time to give your pup the attention and care they need throughout the day. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or drop-in visit, I’m happy to help keep them happy and loved in the comfort of their own home. When caring for pets in their own home, I do everything I can to make sure they feel safe, secure, and comfortable in their familiar environment. I always follow your specific instructions regarding routines, feeding, medications, and any quirks your pup may have. I take trust seriously—respecting your space, keeping you updated, and treating your pets like family every step of the way.

About: My name is Makinzie, I am 32 years old with 4 kids and a German Shepherd of my own. If you choose us to keep your pet, they will be well loved, cared for, played with, indoors and outdoors playing with my dog and my kids. In case of excessive heat, freezing temps, fireworks or severe weather I can and will bring them inside. We love dogs and we will treat yours as our own! We have a decent size yard with a fence. I have had dogs my entire life. Mainly Rottweilers, German shepherds and pit bulls, but I’ve had chihuahuas and other smaller dogs as well. I will be delighted and honored to care for your pet if you choose us. If you have any questions just let me know. God bless you! Monday through Friday I work from home and the weekends we come and go. We live a pretty busy life but someone is always home! We have a fenced yard. 4 kids. 1 female german shepherd. Any dogs I care for are pretty spoiled to say the least and will follow any rules set forth.

About: What sets me apart is the care and attention I give every pet, especially those with special needs. While I’m new to sitting for other dogs professionally, I have a senior dog of my own who is both diabetic and blind. I give her insulin twice a day and help her safely navigate daily life, so I understand the patience, consistency, and love it takes to care for older pets or those with medical needs. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I'm a newly registered EMT currently looking for full-time work, and in the meantime, I’m looking to stay active and productive doing something I enjoy—spending time with animals! Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule right now, and I’d love the opportunity to give your pets the attention and care they deserve while I have the time to fully commit to them. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my focus is always on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I stick closely to their usual routines—feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications—so they feel at ease while you’re away. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs, whether they’re energetic, shy, or require special care. Cleanliness, communication, and compassion are always part of how I care for animals.

About: We have a passion for animals. We have a large fenced yard. We have an extremely pet friendly home and we are very attentive. If you trust us with your pets, you can be assured they will be treated like they were our own. They will have no shortage of love and attention and fun. We have always had dogs. We have a long haired Daschund and a little Chihuahua mix who are spoiled rotten. We work full time but have very flexible jobs and we work close to home so we can be very flexible with your pets schedule. We are an open book and can be contacted whenever you need us. We like to take pictures and would be happy to show you how much fun your pets are having while you are away.

“We were so pleased with Jewel & how she took care of our fur babies, Coco, Abby & BK, while we took a day trip to see family & attend a sweet sixteen Birthday party. We will definitely have her again.”


“If you're looking for a top-notch pet boarder, look no further than Elizabeth! From the start, Elizabeth was a breeze to communicate with—super responsive and incredibly easy to talk to. When I picked up my dog, the sheer joy and excitement on his face spoke volumes. It was clear he had an amazing time and was well cared for. 😊 I’m thrilled with the service and will definitely be returning to Elizabeth for all of our pet boarding needs. Highly recommend! 🐶❤️”


“Couldn’t be happier. My girls are all happy.”


“Andrea is wonderful. She doesn’t seem to meet a stranger. Very comfortable with her right off the bat at the meet and greet. Sent pics and keep me posted. Definitely will use her again!”


“jordan is so sweet and really loves animals. she’s an excellent pet sitter and i would request her again! I felt content and secure knowing that jordan was looking after our cat.”


About: I've always had a deep love for animals, and caring for pets has been a big part of my life. From dogs and cats to chickens and rabbits, I have experience providing attentive care, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, administering medication, or simply offering snuggles, I treat every pet as if they were my own. As a pet-mom to 3 senior dogs, a calico cat as well as chickens, I understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities. I take the time to provide personalized care that keeps tails wagging and purrs coming!! As of right now, I have plenty of availability for petsitting with no other conflicts in my schedule. I am available at short notice as well. I have several unfenced acres for pets to play and explore on! My pets stay on our property but always have leashes for the babies that need it! Our dogs and cat are free to go indoors or outdoors at their leisure. I also have a room available to separate pets if needed. I have the room to bring in crates if your baby uses one.

“Jessica did drop in visits for my 2 kitties. She was great with communicating from booking through the visits!”


About: With around 10 years of experience taking care of many dogs of all types of breeds and sizes I have loved this line of work more than anything and the overall satisfaction of seeing the dogs and having them light up when they see me lights me up. There’s nothing more that I love than giving these amazing animals a great life or great experience! Many friends and family know me as being a caregiver to animals of all types and sizes but with dogs being where I shine best. I am currently just working part time buying & selling so I have all the flexibility In The world to make and work with pretty much anyones schedule and help them care for their animals whenever they are unable or busy. I currently have a large fenced in yard with 2 dogs of my own but at this time pet care at my home will have to be a case by case thing otherwise I will take care of your dog at your home and care for them as if they were my own pet. I have no problem crating them either if that is what necessary or preferred

About: Even when I was little I’ve had a connection with animals. I’ve always been able to connect with the hard headed animals or the animals that have lost their trust in humanity. Animals seem to trust me, maybe not right away but they learn quickly. So if you’re leaving them for a bit and they need a potty break or you are taking a vacation and need an animal sitter or my favorite, if you are getting up in miles on your life and need help caring for your faithful friend daily, contact me. I’m here for you and them! I am helping care for a family member that has dementia (I live with her), so working long days at a place of business does not fit into what my family members needs are. Being a pet sitter has afforded me the ability to be present in her life as her needs arise and change but also allows me to be of service to the voiceless. Animals have always had a soft spot in my heart, this is my way of giving back to them for the years of love they have shown me and us in the past. Not only do I care for your pets needs and try and think ahead for them, I also care for your needs. Collecting the mail, cleaning up accidents, keeping your house clean, this builds a trust that is unrivaled in and amongst animal lovers.

“Brook is very responsive and is attentive to detail when caring for the animals and dogs. She was able to help us during a very difficult time and my family is very appreciative. Thank you Brook.”


About: Hi my name is Diana! I offer dog walking and pet sitting near me. I love animals I have been around them my whole life. I am a very trustworthy sitter and walker I will properly take care of your animals. I treat my clients animals how I would want mine to be treated. I am very flexible with the days you need me and I am always on time whenever you need me. I will supervise and and make sure your dog or cat is happy! Animals have always been my passion and always will be. I enjoy being there for animals and enjoy taking care of them. I hope I can help out and take care and love your pet like I love mine! I am free anytime during the week to make sure I can meet the needs of your schedule. This is a full time job for me it is my number one priority to make sure the customer and pet is happy! I do have a fenced in yard and a lot of play area for your pet if your pet will be staying with me. If I will be in your home with your pet I will make sure all rules and priorities are met.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my whole life, and love my job as a veterinary technician! I’d be happy to care for yours too! I currently work 3 days a week for 14 hours a day. So the other 4 days are fully available for any kind of pet care needed! My job also offers boarding during the day, so if it lands on a day that I work, your baby is more than welcome to come to work with me and getting all the love from me and my wonderful colleagues. I think personal play time with animals is the most important time for every baby! Helping pets live a happy and healthy life is my main priority whether that includes walks, play time, cuddling and hanging out, or offering them comfort when their owners are away.


About: I'm a lover of all animals, willing to accommodate special hours or instructions, if medications are needed I'm comfortable doing that as well. Have been pet sitting for 10+ years and have yet to meet a dog/pet I don't adore? I'm willing to work with anyone's pet and meet them beforehand to make sure they feel comfortable with me. A pet should always come first so I would want to make sure I can accommodate their needs. I'm a firm believer in in also having a healthy relationship with pet parents and most certainly encourage any questions to make sure your pet and I both be comfortable each other before accepting any job. Please feel free to contact me, I'll answer any questions about myself and background as well as provide references. I am currently a part-time student so my schedule can work around yours. I set my school hours accordingly, therefore it doesn't interfere with the care of your pet. Patience goes a long way when it comes to establishing a connection with a pet. Pets are attached to their owners and some can become sensitive or withdrawn to new people. It's up to me to form a bond with all pets. Most pets I have come across form relationships easily, however there are cases where pets may come with a past. Such as being rescues whose previous owners didn't treat them well . In such cases lots of love, attention and patience would be given on my part to ensure that your pet feels safe.

Austin M.
“As an owner of an energetic chocolate lab like Freya, daily exercise is non-negotiable. Austin has been an incredible help, consistently stepping in to play fetch with her when my schedule gets hectic. He's reliable, and Freya clearly enjoys her time with him, which gives me great peace of mind knowing she's getting her essential playtime”
