Dominique is wonderful! She came over for a meet and greet before my trip, and I felt very comfortable leaving my two dogs and one cat in her care. She communicated regularly with me, and I loved seeing photo updates after each drop-in visit. She is very knowledgeable about animals, and I will definitely be booking with her again.

About: Hi! My name is Sophia. I am a nurse with a passion for working with children that extends to loving on strangers' pets! Whether it’s a playful puppy or a senior needing patience and routine, I’ve cared for them and treat every pet like they’re my own. My uncle has two American bullies, and my aunt has a senior dog that I offer to take care of from time to time while they are away. Those three angels are the reason why I decided to get my own dog! I have a deep love for animals and a calm, confident approach to pet care that helps pets feel safe, happy, and stress-free. I work three times a week on a self-scheduled basis. I will make sure to update my availability as soon as my schedule is out. When I have my free time I would love to give some TLC to your fur babies and make sure they are content and happy! I will care for your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I’d give my own three fur babies. Your pet’s safety and happiness come first. I will follow your routines closely to make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I will make sure to provide you with regular updates and tons of cute photos while you are away. My goal is peace of mind for both of you!

About: I have had pets my entire adult life, and I know how important it is to you to find the right person to take care of them while you’re away. I am committed to taking care of your pets like they’re my own, and I’m excited to provide lots of love and fun! I work from home, and my husband is a full time dad, so we’d be happy to spend time with your pets, go for walks as a family, and see to their every need! We have pet gates throughout the home, extra kennels if needed, and a fenced in yard. We are also comfortable giving medication orally or via injection if needed.

About: I'm a current dog foster through a local shelter, and I've been around dogs and cats for most of my life! I'm comfortable with most ages and sizes, and have picked up a lot of skills and knowledge on how to work well with dogs. I'm just as comfortable with cats, and I have some good experience cat sitting for relatives. I have a very flexible schedule as a graduate student, so I have a lot of availability to fit taking care of pets into my day/week. I try to keep a consistent feeding schedule and make sure dogs go out as soon as I return from being away. I make sure any hazards or chemicals are far out of reach, and always keep dogs on leashes when going on walks outside of a fenced in area. I make sure to monitor toys that can break into small pieces (nylabones, benebones, etc.). I am comfortable crating dogs if there has been previous crate training.

About: I started off my experience with pet sitting 10 years ago with 2 Bichon dogs. They required a lot of care and I loved every minute I spent with them. I had a dog growing up and she was my pride and joy. When pet sitting, I make sure that I give the pets attention and love that I would like to give my own pet. When pet sitting, I typically have the dog come to me or I can do drop in visits to your home. I can also spend the day going on walks and relaxing with your dog. I do not have a dog of my own, but I do have a lot of experience interacting and caring for all kinds of dogs. I am a teacher, so I have the summer off to be able to take care of your dog during morning and afternoon. I can also take them on long walks. I plan to make sure that your dog gets what they need. For example, make sure that they have food and water. Also, provide them time to be outside and to be active if needed.

About: I have had dogs for the last 10 years and have raised 2 of them since puppies. I have had a love for dogs since I was a kid and love meeting any new dog. I've taken care of friends and families pets while they were away and always treat them with care. I currently have 3 dogs that I love so much!

I work full time M-F typically 6-3 but am able to leave for lunch if needed to let your dog(s) out. I am usually free on the weekends that I will be able to house-sit or drop by to let your dogs out and walk them I will take care of your pets in your home with the respect your home deserves. I will follow any rules you have for your pets and your home to make sure you are taken care of while you are away.

About: I have had dogs since I was in the crib. I have been pet sitting others fur family for 6+ years. I adore animals! I will treat them like the fur babies you love. I have two dogs myself and they are my babies. I work a 9-3 job Monday-Friday and don’t work weekends. I would be home otherwise and might have the occasional plan or two but would discuss before hand. I have a fenced in yard. Both neighbors on either side have dogs but mostly bark to each other. My roommate does have two cats that roam but can be put in her room. Your fur baby will be put at top priority so that they feel safe and comfortable as if they were home with you.

I cannot recommend Hayley highly enough! She took care of my dogs while I was away, and I was absolutely blown away by the level of care, attention, and love she gave them. From the moment we met, it was clear that Hayley has a genuine passion for animals. She was incredibly responsible, communicative, and thoughtful throughout the entire time. My dogs were not only well-fed and exercised, but they were also happy and relaxed when I returned- something that speaks volumes about the comfort and trust they felt with her. Hayley went above and beyond, sending me regular updates and photos that gave me peace of mind while I was away. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like family, Hayley is the one. I’m so grateful to have found her and will absolutely be reaching out again the next time I need a dog sitter!
