“Christina was wonderful. She really cares about our dogs. We received texts when she arrived/finished and texted us photos during the visit as well. It was a great experience.”


“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!”


About: Though this is my first dog sitting job I have grown up with multiple dogs and love animals so much! I’m willing to watch over any sort of dog as I love all breeds:) I am able to train dogs fairly easy and am willing to help with whatever needs your animal has. I currently run an at home baking business that allows me to watch over my dogs and any other animals at all times. I’m an active person myself so I love to take dogs on multiple walks every day. My pets are my best friends and I treat them with love and respect. Every animal I take care of will be loved and never treated horribly.

About: I have taken care of many people’s animals as well as my own for years! I grew up on a farm and had several dogs and cats. I would love to get to know your animals too! I am currently working full-time, but would love to do overnight stays with your pet, drop in visits after 5:00 pm or before 7:00 am. I am available Saturdays and Sundays all day. I would love to take your pet on walks in the evenings as well! I have two very friendly and playful dogs of my own that would love to meet your fur baby! We could go on walks and I can even bathe your pet for you.

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.

“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.”


About: I have had dogs my whole life and got on of my own when I was in college. Growing up around and with dogs has been something that I love about about my up bringing. Dogs add so much to a family and are life long companions. Getting puppy while a full time college student and having a part time job was hard, but taught me how to manage my time and make my dog training efficient. Now she is almost 4 and is my best friend. Leaving town and having someone watch your best friend can be nerve racking, but I am here to love your furry friend like my own! I believe in efficient play time and enrichment for your animals to help make your time apart not so difficult. As a teacher, I am only busy from 7:30 - 5 each day. Some weekends I may be gone traveling, but I would love to check in on your furry friend when I can! Sometimes pets can be unpredictable and it is important that you stay calm and let them warm up to you. It is important to me to build that trust on the first visit to ensure the animal feels safe.

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: I’ve taken care of all different types of animals, from large to big, from bathing them to giving them medicine. Friends and families always come to me when they need their pets watched after! I am currently going into my freshman year of college online to become a vet tech! and with having so much free time I’m able to give your pups all the attention and loving all day everyday! I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space, I also have a 6 month old pup of my own who’s ready to welcome your fur baby and also have company!

“She worked with me with my 3 puppers, and was able to drop in without meeting them ahead and made them feel so safe and happy. One of my little ones has bad anxiety and I’m so grateful to her that she came and saw them in the middle of my long shift and gave them an outside break to play!”
