“Sara was amazing with my boy, Nox. Despite needing to make a few modifications to the booking because of unexpected work plans, I am grateful Sara was able to accomodate my schedule changes. She had great communication and would update me with photos regularly. It gave me total piece of mind that my dog was in good hands. I'd be happy work with Sara again in the future.”

About: As a lifelong animal lover working from home full-time, I provide constant supervision, 'office mate' snuggles, and frequent potty breaks in a stress-free environment. Your pet will receive my undivided attention in a true home-away-from-home setting, including a large fenced yard for secure play and daily long walks! I am also experienced in senior care and dedicated to keeping your fur baby safe, active, and loved all day long. I work from home full time with a very flexible schedule. I am available for walks throughout the day and potty breaks as needed. I will provide daily updates with photos and videos to make you feel comfortable! I have a single story home with a fenced in backyard. We have a large crate if needed, but we had a velcro dog and know how important it is for animals to feel safe and secure, so they are more than welcome to spend as much time near me as they want!
“I can’t begin to explain how nice it is to have found a dog sitter I trust. Kelly was professional and adhered to all of my specific requirements I have for my pups- she was communicative (big need for me) and safe. I sometimes have a stray dogs in the neighborhood and need her to stay alert and go in the opposite direction or even pick up my dog if safety becomes an issue. She alerted me of the stray and prioritized my dog’s safety. Amazing!”


About: I grew up with pitbulls and have loved dogs my whole life. I have done dog sitting for several different families all different types of dogs. Big dogs? Yes please! Little dogs? Sign me up! A bunch of dogs???? You found your girl! I once dog sat for 12 dogs for 3 days. Yes, 12. I’ve also watched over 5 week old puppies and their mama and dad for a week! I currently am free whenever you need basically. Im unemployed right now so my schedule is pretty wide open! I do also do theatre but the current show i’m working on closes June 6th, so then ill be even more free! When in another clients home, I understand i’m not just watching someone’s pet. I am watching their home and their bestie! So I always make sure to not only provide basic needs, I will make sure they are ready for a nap from play! I will also make sure everything looks exactly how it was left, and if needed I am willing to pick up your backyards dog poop. Whatever you need just let me know!
“My dog liked her very much, because she was so attentive to her. She not only walked her but she watched her. She tried to figure out how best to relate to her. I was very impressed. Kayla was dependable, punctual, and enthusiastic. I highly recommend her.”

“Vicki was great with my very shy dog. She came for a meet and greet to make sure my dog would recognize her. She was communicative and punctual, and I appreciated the picture she included. I highly recommend her and plan on using her again!”

About: I have had pets of my own for as long as I can remember. Fish, cats, dogs, and a rabbit! I currently have three cats of my own, and I have experience caring for frogs, lizards, rabbits, guinea pigs, and dogs. I have been around many birds as well, and would be happy to learn more about caring for them! I work a part time job, but dedicate the rest of my time with my animals, or taking care of yours! If there are specific days you would need me to care for your pet, I always try to block those days and times off from work! I am unable to take care of pets in my own home because I have cats of my own that are afraid of strangers. But I will happily come to you where your pet is most comfortable. I understand very well that every pet is not the same, and I think it's very important to understand what they need! I also enjoy cleaning, so I will make sure you come home to a clean space!
About: Having 2 doxies trained me to be patient and to dispense all the love and attention they need (it's a lot:) I simply love to cuddle up with a pup or play if they're in the mood. I have a lifetime of cat experience and raised 2 mini dachshunds ( lost in divorce) whom I worshipped! I have many repeat house sitting jobs, and will treat your pet like they are my own. In your home, I will follow directions to the letter and leave your house as it was when I arrived. Warning...your pet may be spoiled:) I have cared for elderly dogs & puppies! I love cats as well, and used to socialize kitties at the Humane Society.
About: I’ve spent all my life watching dogs or cats my family had had both. I would say I’m really great with dog walking and cleaning and feeding same thing with cats! I currently go to cosmetology school from 8am-3 pm but I’m available 4:30pm-10pm on the weekends I’m available 9am-11pm I’m willing to talk about hours and when I can work! I live in a two story house with a backyard. My house area also has a big dog park near it I’ll be sure to walk them and make sure they eat and no waste is left on the floor. As for cats my house has a lot of space and many couches for lounging.
“I booked Daniel to take my 18 month old pitbull Maggie for daily walks. We have finished our first week and everything went splendidly. We are working on desensitizing Maggie to normal every day. Sounds and Daniel has been a great help in understanding the mission and moving towards success, I have him booked on an ongoing basis. Maggie is becoming more comfortable with him and I feel we will ultimately reach our goal.”

About: I love all sorts of animals, but I especially love dogs. I have several years of experience of dog sitting at my home and I own two dogs myself. In my current set-up, it is not feasible for me to look after dogs in my home due to space and not having a backyard. With this being said, I am looking to still take care of your pup! I will treat your dog as if it was my own. I would be happy to walk your dogs or come stay at your home to look after them. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me to ask me any questions! I am very flexible and willing to make sure that all your needs/wants are met for your precious fur baby.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, goats, hamsters, and rabbits since I was 12 years old. I love animals and will be very attentive to yours! I work remotely so I have a very flexible schedule and can check on your animals multiple times per day. I can come over to take care of them whenever needed. I have been dog-sitting for years, and I take great care in following instructions and reading the animals body language to make them the most comfortable they can be.

I got a very quick reply to my request, than a meet and greet that went very well (my kind of shy little dog took right to him), friendly service, and great communication! He let me know when he was arriving and departing for the dog walk visit, and sent me a photo. I will happily request Kaiser again if needed, and I would recommend him to others.

Emily is by far our first choice when we needed a dog walker. She is prompt, reliable, trustworthy, and will update me when I'm out of town which is always comforting. I love how Emily pays attention to detail. I would highly recommend Emily and her pet sitting services to all my friends and family.

Heidi was great! She was very kind and my dog instantly liked her. She was very aware and attentive to his needs as a senior dog. She helped me feel better about being away by sending daily updates, pics, and videos, sometimes multiple times a day, which I LOVED. My dog loved Heidi and I could tell he was in great hands.
