About: I’ve dog sat for different owners for several years and always make sure that the dogs are well taken care of! Dogs are like family!! I am currently working part time and am always here to help out when people need my help. I have a lot of free time this summer! I currently have four animals at my house and am always helping them out. I make sure that they are well cared for and I also take them on walks everyday.
“Natalie was amazing! She came over to meet my dogs prior to her stay and they loved her instantly (I have one shy dog so this was surprising!). She sent me so many pictures/updates while I was gone which was great. I would ask her again and again to care for my dogs, and highly recommend her to others!”

“Victoria is an incredible animal care provider! I had friends in from out of town to celebrate my birthday and they have a new puppy with separation anxiety. In order for us to go out, we needed to find a sitter for several hours so my friends could enjoy the night and not stress. Victoria instantly was a hit with my two dogs and their puppy. She’s calm, kind, genuine, and has a ton of experience which made for a stress free evening. The dogs were regulated and felt right at home with her. Highly recommend her and her services. Thank you Victoria!”

About: Hi ! I am a current University student who adores cats and dogs. I have always had pets in the home, including two geriatric dogs, and am well equipped to handle medication administration, standing assistance, and frequent potty breaks. During the summer months, from early May to late August, I have a lot of free time throughout the day. During the academic year, I have classes majority of the day on Tuesday and Thursday ! I can handle any specific routines on diet, medication, sleep, and exercise. When working with new pets, I would appreciate being able to contact the pet parents if any questions arise ! My goal in pet care is to ensure the safety and comfort of all pets in the home.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had a great experience with Katie! She was incredibly helpful and flexible, especially since we had to leave in a bit of a rush. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dog was being cared for while we were away. She followed our instructions, made sure our dog was comfortable, and kept everything running smoothly. Our Willow Mae seemed happy and well taken care of when we got back, which is the most important thing to us. We really appreciate her reliability and kindness, and we would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to watch their pet. We would definitely rebook with her. Thank you again for taking such good care of Willow!”


About: Hi! I’m Lily, and caring for animals is genuinely one of my favorite things in life. I’ve had pets my whole life and have also worked at a doggy daycare, so I’m very comfortable handling dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I own dogs myself—they’re very docile and love having friends—so I understand how important it is to find someone you fully trust with your pets. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including anxious pups and dogs with special needs. One of my dogs is deaf and responds to sign, so I’m especially patient, attentive, and tuned in to nonverbal communication. Whether your pet needs high-energy playtime, structured walks, or just a calm and comforting presence, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll treat them like they’re my own—lots of love, attention, and updates so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. I’m reliable, communicative, and genuinely excited to meet your pets. I can’t wait to give them the care they deserve! My schedule is flexible and allows me to provide consistent care throughout the day. I currently work full-time, but I’m in the process of transitioning roles, which gives me increasing availability. My partner is home by 2:30 PM every day, and we’re both home in the evenings, so your pet will have plenty of supervision, attention, and company. We make sure pets are never left alone for long periods and always prioritize their comfort and routine. I’m happy to work with your pet’s specific schedule and needs—just let me know what works best for them! Your pet’s safety is my top priority. We have a fully fenced-in backyard with turf, providing a clean and secure space for safe outdoor play and bathroom breaks. Inside, our home is pet-proofed to prevent access to anything unsafe, and we always supervise interactions to ensure a calm and controlled environment. I’m attentive to each dog’s behavior and needs, and I take introductions slowly to make sure everyone feels comfortable. You can trust that your pet will be in a safe, secure, and well-managed environment at all times.
“Jess was an AWESOME day sitter. Communication was top notch, and they provided us with lots of pictures and videos. We knew our pup was safe and well loved all day. Will be booking again!”

“Staci was absolutely amazing with our babies. She cuddled them and gave them as much love as we do when we are home. She also kept me in the loop with their day, schedules and activities while we were gone, not to mention the overload of adorable pictures we received. Staci truly is a wonderful sitter and has this love for animals that is apparent when you meet her. We will for sure be booking her in the future to sit with our loves!!”

Megan wonderfully with our older dog Fiona, she was very good with communicating with me when we were on our trip! We received pictures and videos so we could still see our old girl while we were away. When there was an issue she was quick to let us know and reassured us that Fiona was OK (my poor pup has a nervous belly).

Ashlyn did an amazing job taking care of our 4 labs. She checked in and kept me updates on how things were going! Our house was exactly as we left it when we returned and the my pups were happy! I would recommend Ashlyn to care for your furry family members! I will definitely ask Ashlyn to come back!!!

Sheila was AMAZING, I can’t recommend her enough! I was nervous to leave Cricket for a trip and Sheila went above and beyond to make sure Cricket was taken care of and loved on! We will absolutely be rebooking and I can’t brag enough about how wonderful our experience was!
