About: I will understand your dog's needs and take the time to make sure they are comfortable. I have experience with reactive, aggressive, and shy dogs with varieties of needs. I have 3 border collies, my daily routine is dogs. Training, playing, and adventuring is what we do. Every day has basics that need to be met, but also beyond that. My dogs get their needed play and attention in my small fenced yard daily as well as a different daily activity, from swimming to homemade dog gym time, there's always something different and fun.
About: I’ve grown up helping care for my family’s three chihuahuas, from daily walks to feeding, playtime, and lots of cuddles. I understand the importance of keeping pets happy, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I’m attentive, reliable, and excited to give your furry friends the care and companionship they deserve! I’m currently a part-time online college student and enrolled in a full-time, in-person IT training program Monday–Friday. I’m available for pet care on weekends, and I’m happy to provide walks, feeding, and playtime around your pet’s routine. I’m reliable and committed to giving your pets consistent attention and care. I create a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet I care for. Whether at your home or mine, I make sure pets have fresh water, regular meals, and plenty of attention. I follow your instructions closely and prioritize their comfort, happiness, and safety at all times.
“Simona was incredible with our dog Beau! We had to look for a sitter very last minute and she agreed to a week long stay with very little notice. She was professional, sent us daily updates, and took great care of him. Beau is a senior dog who has special medical needs and she was fantastic with that as well. We would recommend Simona to anyone looking for a sitter and hope to use her again in the future!”
About: Ive had pets since I was a child and I know for a fact I will give your pet more affection than anyone you know. I will lay down on the floor just to love on them. I believe this is what sets me apart from other sitters. I will take them everywhere with me and treat him/her like my child. Im working part time and my schedule is very very flexible so I am home the majority of the day every single day so your pet would never feel neglected or lonely. I have a huge lot behind my house for your little one to run wild and a park across the street. I also have a senior gentle giant with me to keep your baby company. My dog is very laid back and gets along with any dog or I can separate her from your fur baby if need be. She sleeps almost all day long anyway at her age.
“We always feel comfortable leaving our dog and our house in Tiana's hands. She takes excellent care of our energetic labradoodle who is young and can be quite rambunctious at times. He gets plenty of exercise and love and care while Tiana is here. She is very respectful of our house as well. We will continue to use her services and highly recommend her!”
About: Hi, I’m Christina! 🐾 I’m a vet tech with 6+ years of experience caring for animals big, small, furry, feathered, and scaled. From bouncy puppies to shy rescues, from healthy pets to those needing a little extra TLC, I’ve done it all — with patience, love, and a whole lot of tail wags. My background in veterinary medicine means I can confidently handle: • 💉 Medication administration (oral, injectable, topical) • 🩹 Post-surgery care & wound cleaning • 🍽️ Special diet prep & feeding • 🐕🦺 Behavioral & special needs care • 🐾 Senior pet comfort & mobility support I’ve worked with dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, reptiles, and even birds. Your pets will always get my full attention, gentle handling, and plenty of love. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do — it’s part of who I am. 🐾 As a vet tech, I’m used to planning my day around feeding, walking, snuggle breaks, and medication times. My schedule is flexible, so I can fit in morning tail wags, mid-day play sessions, and evening cuddles without a hitch. In your home, I stick to your pet’s normal routine like clockwork — same meal times, favorite toys, and cozy spots, so they feel safe and happy. I keep water bowls fresh, clean up after them, and make sure they get plenty of exercise and love. If a pet is staying in my home, they’ll have a safe, pet-friendly space with comfy beds, toys galore, and supervised playtime. And no matter where they are, you’ll get daily picture and video updates so you can see those happy faces. 📸🐶

Amanda J.
“I wholeheartedly recommend my friend as a dog sitter and walker. She is incredibly kind, reliable, and deeply committed to the well-being of both animals and people. Over the years, she has house-sat and cared for our pets multiple times, always showing great responsibility, warmth, and attention to detail. What sets her apart is her compassionate nature. She regularly supports my disabled son, taking him on outings and helping him participate in community activities. Her patience and care are unmatched, and it's clear she brings that same devotion to every animal she looks after. She has a big heart, a calm presence, and a genuine love for animals. Anyone would be fortunate to have her caring for their pets.”

Christian F.
“Christian has been a friend of mine for many years, and if I’ve learned anything about him in all this time, it’s that he lives for animals. I’ve seen him time and time again go out of his way to provide his dogs with the best food, veterinarian care, and living conditions possible. He is obsessive over making sure any pets under his supervision are loved and cared for at all times. It’s fun to see a fully grown bearded man turn into a little kid at the sight of just about any animal he sees, including the strays in his neighborhood who haven’t gone a day without eating due to the bowls of food and water he constantly fills behind his house. If any of you are looking for someone who will treat and love your furry family members with as much gusto as you do, Christian is your guy. I know he’s my preferred sitter for life. Thanks Chris!”

Christina R.
“I’ve known Christina for years. She has a passion for animals and especially for dogs. She always care for others animals as if they were her own. I travel a lot and trust Christina 100% with my 3 year old pitbull Rossco and 1 year old pitbull Aztec. She is amazing at what she Does.”
