“Carley is wonderful with our two Great Danes! We are a repeat client and would recommend Carley to anyone. She also left our house just the way it was when we left. That is always a relief to come home to.”

About: I have been around dogs since I was born! I have two of my own fur children, whom both required a lot of attention and are very spoiled! They are also extremely well mannered and I have only self-trained them with patience and proper motivation. I have pet sat for friends and family several times informally, and found it to be so fun! I myself am a very detail oriented person, loves loving on animals, and understands how comforting it is to have the right person looking after your baby! I own my own business so my hours are flexible and can be arranged as needed! I already am caring for my own pets throughout each day! My dogs are both leashed when going out to potty in our yard. I also work on patience, obedience commands, and recall with them so that they have little daily disciplines. Both of my dogs are very treat oriented so it makes keeping them up to snuff with their manners easy! They also get regularly walked through our neighborhood, have an abundance of toys, and a very consistent meal time for breakfast and dinner!
“Sabrina was amazing with my pups. Sabrina was very professional. Sabrina was quick to respond to messages and work with us on such short notice. If your looking for the perfect sitter, look no further than Sabrina.”


“We had an amazing experience with Addison! From the moment we left, communication was outstanding. We received regular updates, photos, and messages throughout our trip, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs were clearly well cared for and loved. It was obvious that she took the time to get to know their personalities and made sure they were comfortable, happy, and safe. She was incredibly reliable, professional, and kind, and we never had to worry about a thing. We came home to happy, well-cared-for dogs, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and communicative pet sitter!”

“This is long overdue. Hannah was very reliable and took great care of our two energetic pups while we were away. They absolutely loved her. She constantly updated us which puts our mind at ease while we were away on vacation. She is highly recommended.”

“Eli is the BEST! I had a lot of anxiety leaving my animals & he eased my mind greatly. He took the very best care of my crazy girl, Rayne & little sweety, Athena. I cannot thank him enough for the level understanding and care he put into being there for them(& myself lol)!! 10/10 recommend & will definitely request Eli for any further care. He listens to all of your wants/needs. Again, Eli is amazing & thank you so soo much!!! <3”

About: My family has always owned one or more dogs or many different breeds since I was born which gave me lots of experience in pet care. I want to ensure that animals are happy and well taken care of. They are a part of our families too. i do go to school and work but i’ve always been good at balancing a schedule and will always be on time. i could dog sit almost everyday and do a good job. i would take care of your pet and your home like they were my own. i believe that if you are going to do something you should do it right.
“Alexia was great with our dogs. She took great care of our dogs, the house and even checked on our chickens for us. She communicated with updates, pictures and even stayed a bit longer when our flight was delayed. Definitely recommend.”

“Kimberly did a great job with our new puppy, while we were away! Lots of playtime outside and tried walks with her. It was so reassuring to have Kimberly in our home, making our puppy feel comfortable. Daily pictures and videos were definitely appreciated. We hope to have Kimberly stay again soon!!”

About: Hello, I'm Rebecca. I'm 28 years old. I've always been an animal lover. I live with my parents who have had multiple dogs over the course of my lifetime. Being the only child still living with them, I've become their dog sitter anytime they leave for a trip, etc. I began experiencing disabling health issues right out of high school and resorted to dog sitting as a way to make money as I was not able to hold a "real" job. I grew to love it. I'm healthier now and looking to find more opportunities outside of friends, family, and neighbors. I would love to broaden my horizons and care for fur babies full time. I'm currently unemployed and have a very open schedule. I have experience caring for puppies, elderly dogs, and anything in between. I know how to administer medication and clean up accidents due to my past elderly dogs having health complications. I also have experience caring for rabbits and cats. After the passing of my 9 year old rabbit in June 2025, I felt like a piece of me was missing. Only a couple months later, I started dog walking for a woman in my neighborhood daily and it helped me through the grief of losing my bunny. That's what caused my desire to dog sit/walk to grow even more. It is said that "time heals all wounds" but the unconditional love from a furry friend really helps pass the time. I'm also a house plant lover. If needed I can water and care for any houseplants during overnight sittings. No more worrying about your beloved pets or plants while you're away! With me you can have peace of mind that they're all in good hands. I'm currently unemployed. I have a very open schedule except for weekdays from Noon-1pm (when I dog walk in my neighborhood). I have 2 separate church events scheduled on the 4th Saturday of every month. Scheduling walks or drop in visits can be tricky that day because the events don't always have a set time. I can dog sit at your home on those 4th Saturdays as long as I am able to leave for a couple hours for the events. During drop-in visits/walks I rinse and refill water bowls, replace empty treat toys, clean up any accidents that may have occurred, play with your fur baby to release any pent up energy they might have, and complete any other duties you may have for me. I pay close attention during potty breaks and notify the owners if anything is out of the ordinary. When dog sitting I can stay at your home overnight if needed. If not I can check in as often as you'd like. I can provide updates through out the day and pictures so cute you'll want to frame them.
“Samantha was amazing! She took such great care of all our pets. Our dog was so relaxed when we got home. This was also a last minute booking since our sitter bailed on us and she really saved the day. She sent lots of updates and pics too so we could see all our babies being well care for. We’ll absolutely use her service in the future.”

“Alex was fabulous, highly recommend her! We didn't worry a bit about our dogs with her. She sent me pics of them daily. And she even sent my daughter pics of her "feeding" her fake fish. We will definitely be booking with her again!”

“I’m so glad I tried looking for another sitter and found Karina! She did a fantastic job! She truly cared for Zoey and made time to know her, and eventually they became buddies! Zoey has a separation anxiety and could be difficult to handle (she won’t leave the house even to go potty). But Karina took effort & was so patient with Zoey and made sure she got to potty for the day. The house was the same as how we left it. I definitely will book Karina again even for drop ins! Thank you so much, Karina! We appreciate you so much!”

“Sydney was excellent! She housesat and watched our pups for a few days on a last minute trip. She took great care of both, sent regular updates, and made sure all was tidy before we returned. She will be out first call when we need a sitter again.”

About: Although I am a cat mom of two, I also have deep care and compassion for dogs of all kinds! Since I was 16 years old, I have volunteered on and off at my local humane society, giving care to all animals. Care including: ensuring all dishes and laundry are fresh and clean, cleaning cages, feeding, as well as giving love & attention to each cat and dog! I also have had the honor of caring after my neighbors dog for about a year. This care included: taking him on walks and playing with him every 2-3 hours, feeding him, as well as giving plenty of love and pets! I’m currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of quality time to spend with your furry friend! During the week/weekends, I do not have a set work schedule, however I am flexible to work around my start and end times! If needed, I am able to easily crate your dog, I am able to take any precautions of care, as well as take upon requests that your fur baby may need during his/her time with me.
About: Experienced with small and large dogs, from Maltese to Malinois and Golden Retrievers. Reliable teacher who loves walks, playtime, belly rubs, and caring for pets. I am a teacher on summer break. I am available mostly weekdays, but open to weekends when free. I would only have to leave for an hour to go to the gym. I enjoy getting outside for walks during the day and love taking dogs to parks and open trails for fresh air, exercise, fun, and adventure.

About: My experience has been mostly my family and friends. I have taken their animals on walks, bathed them, fed them, played with them. Took them to parks and even trained them on new skills. Since I just graduated I have very open availability and ready to help. I am very organized and dependable, I value time management, my career/education, and most importantly taking care of people and animals. I am currently waiting for the new school year to roll around and continue my education so my schedule is free. I wake up early to work out but that time can be flexible depending on if I have a pet to watch. I keep the animals on the schedule they are used to. Feed them, fill water, walks, clean behind them, playtime, medicine if they need. Also litter box maintenance for cats. Also making sure we’re safe in the house and my phone near me to contact the owners if needed.
“Shawn did an awesome job of taking care of Oliver for 5 days, the longest we have ever left him. We came home to a happy boy and a tidy house! We are very grateful to Shawn for the peace of mind we had knowing Oliver was well taken care of during our absence.”
