“Rihanna was wonderful with my anxious girl, Lua. She was patient and took time to let Lua get comfortable with her. I was so nervous to leave Lua, but Rihanna did such a great job with the Rover card updates, I was at ease while away. Highly recommend her, and will definitely be using her services again.”


“Adriana was amazing with our 2 kitties. She ensured that they were loved each time she came to take care of them. She sent us multiple pictures, a very detailed report, and cleaned the litter box multiple times a visit. They absolutely adored her. We will definitely have her come back to care for our kitties again.”


“Samantha was so great with our hyperactive nutball German shepherd Remington! We get nervous leaving her with people but she responded so amazingly to Samantha! Very clear that she loves animals and it showed with how happy our pup was!”


“Cassidy has watched our cat two times, and each time was superb! She is super reliable, communicative, and caring for our cat. We absolutely trust her to be in our space, checking on our cat, and could not be happier to have had her help. Highly recommend!”


“Jazmin did a fantastic job caring for my special needs dog.She was patient, attentive, and took the time to understand his routine and medications. I felt completely at ease while away, thanks to the updates and photos she sent, and I came home to a happy, calm pup.”


About: I have owned or cared for 4 legged friends for most of my life. Family and friends have had me care for their pets since I was about 12, but owning my own really made me love them. I am comfortable with pets of all sizes, but I have a special place in my heart for larger breed dogs and orange cats. I would love to help reinforce your dogs training, encourage socialization and exercise in settings such as the dog park, neighborhood walks, and stores, and am passionate that animals are part of a family. I am comfortable feeding both dogs and cats, and have experience medicating both. I'm a stay at home mom with a kiddo who is in elementary school, so my schedule tends to be flexible depending on the day and school schedules. Please be aware that if a visit or walk is scheduled on a day that there is no school, (such as a holiday or vacation), or a time that school is not in session (half days, weekends, or after school hours) my daughter may join me. I love going for walks and exploring new areas, but can also happily cuddle a furry friend. I am able to feed, pick up after, and care for animals with confidence. I am comfortable taking instruction and will do my absolute best to make sure that you are happy with my visit with your furry family member. I don't worry about bigger dogs, they're just more to love! Meeting a new dog prior to the first visit is a requirement for my services.

About: For as long as I can remember I've been around animals and loved it. Growing up, my family had 2 medium sized dogs that I was responsible for helping walk and feed. Since then, I've had cats of my own to care for and have helped babysit many cats and dogs for my friends, family, coworkers, etc. I work full time during the week for a solar company so I am available for house visits on weekends and some week days after 6pm. When gaining an animals trust, I always take it at their pace. I do my best to adapt to individual needs and notice their usual habits in case of changes. Most importantly, I make sure they have a good balance between playtime, affection, and having their own space when needed.

About: Animals have been a part of my life since I was a child—I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs, cats, and other pets, and I truly see them as family. I have two cats, Bleu and Theodore who are my absolute world, and I treat every pet I care for with the same love, patience, and attention as I give my own. What sets me apart from other sitters is my natural connection with animals and my commitment to creating a safe, calm, and happy environment tailored to each pet’s personality and needs. I have experience with a wide range of animals, including high-energy puppies, shy or anxious pets, and senior dogs and cats who need extra TLC. I’m reliable, intuitive, and attentive to small details—whether it’s sticking to a feeding schedule, recognizing signs of stress, or making sure your pet gets their favorite toy before bedtime. I go the extra mile to make sure your pet feels comfortable, secure, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, cuddles, or quiet companionship, I’m here to make your pet feel at home even when they’re not! Right now, pet care is my top priority—I’m not working another job, so I have full availability to dedicate to your pets. This means I’m flexible with scheduling, whether you need early morning walks, midday check-ins, overnight stays, or last-minute bookings. Because I’m not juggling other commitments, I can give your pet the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. I’m here to make your life easier and your pet’s day happier—every single time! When caring for pets in your home, I stick closely to your routines to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for just like you’re there. I keep things tidy, follow any feeding or medication schedules, and provide plenty of attention, playtime, and love. If your pet is staying at my home, I ask that you bring their crate, leash, food, and anything else that helps them feel secure and settled (like their favorite toy or blanket). I’ll make sure they have a cozy, clean space, regular walks, and lots of affection throughout their stay. Whether we’re out for a walk or having a quiet day inside, I treat every pet like my own—with patience, love, and care tailored to their personality and needs.

About: Growing up in a pet-loving household, I’ve had extensive experience caring for both dogs and cats. Over the years, I’ve cared for five dogs and five cats, taking on a wide range of responsibilities to ensure their health and well-being. For my dogs, I managed their daily routines, including feeding, walking, and bathing. I also played an active role in administering medication, including insulin injections, ensuring they followed prescribed regimens for their health. I’ve had hands-on experience with basic dog training, helping to establish good behavior and fostering positive relationships with my pets. In addition to my work with dogs, I’ve assisted with the care of our family’s cats, taking on feeding duties and helping with basic grooming. I’ve also been responsible for ensuring their living areas were clean and comfortable, as well as offering companionship and playtime. Throughout my experience, I’ve developed a strong understanding of animal behavior and needs, as well as the importance of patience, consistency, and affection in caring for pets I understand that pet care needs vary, which is why I offer flexible options to suit different schedules. On weekdays, I’m available after work to take your dog for walks, ensuring they get the exercise and attention they need. On weekends I have a more open walking/visit availability. For weekend getaways, I also offer boarding services, so your dog can stay in a comfortable environment while you’re away. If you need boarding during the week, I’m happy to accommodate house-trained dogs, understanding that I work a regular 9-to-5 schedule. Your dog will have plenty of space to relax, with plenty of walks and playtime in the mornings and once I am out of work. I’ll ensure they’re well-cared for and have a positive, enjoyable experience while you're away. I understand that entrusting your dog to someone else requires a great deal of trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. My home offers a safe, comfortable environment where your dog will feel secure and cared for. With a fully fenced-in yard, they’ll have plenty of room to play and explore without worrying about escaping or running off. Additionally, a covered porch provides a shaded and cozy spot for them to relax, no matter the weather. I’m committed to providing personalized care, ensuring your dog feels at ease in a familiar, homely atmosphere. Your pet’s safety, well-being, and happiness are my top priority, and I will make sure they have the best experience during their stay.


“Jennifer is great with my 7-month old German Shepherd Koda, I will occasionally have her stop by to give him a potty break in the middle of the day if I'm going to be working late. She takes him out, refills his water bowl and makes sure he is happy :) she also sends me photo updates every time too :)”


“Sarah-Jane is a respectful and responsible sitter. I had an impromptu engagement and she was very helpful at such short notice. She took the time to meet YaYa first before the sitting and to get a little familiar with the routine. My dog YaYa loves her and looks forward to the next time Sarah-Jane can watch her. Sarah-Jane also left me a very nice thank you card which was very unexpected.”


“I can't recommend Sarah highly enough! From the very first meeting, it was clear they truly love animals and treat every dog like their own. Our senior dog, Conall, absolutely loves Sarah's visits and waits by the door when she arrives tail wagging, ready for his treat! Sarah exceeded our expectations, whether it’s pulling briars off Conalls back, refilling water bowls, or giving us a quick update/picture during the visit. We’ve seen such a positive attitude in our dog's behavior and happiness since we started. Please don't hesitate to trust Sarah with your dog or cat's care!”


“This was our 1st time using Hannah and she took great care of our 2 babies. They always looked so happy in all the wonderful pictures Hannah would send. She was always on time too. We will definitely use Hannah again. Thank you!”


About: I understand how important it is to leave your pet in the care of someone you trust -someone who's not just reliable, but who genuinely connects with animals. That's the kind of care I provide. I've spent most of my life around pets, especially cats, and I helped raise my brother's golden retriever, Katie, from the time she was a puppy. I was her main caregiver-handling walks, feeding, playtime, and regular visits to the dog park. Katie was sweet but very submissive, which meant she sometimes got overwhelmed in social settings. Through that, I learned to read subtle body language cues and step in calmly when needed. What really sets me apart is my patience and intuitive approach, especially with shy or anxious dogs. I let pets come to me on their own terms, creating space for trust to grow naturally. I've been told I have a calming presence that helps nervous pets relax and feel safe. If you're looking for someone who will treat your animal like a member of the family-and keep your home clean and cared for in the process -I'd love to help. I'll be ready to provide my time to help serve your pet at about 5:00 pm on the weekdays and I have all weekends off. Your pet's emotional well-being is just as important as their physical care. I always approach animals with patience, respect, and kindness. You'll never see me raise my voice or use harsh corrections- because fear doesn't build trust, it breaks it. Instead, I rely on calm communication, consistency, and positive reinforcement. I speak to pets in a moderate, reassuring tone and give them the time they need to feel comfortable. Whether your dog is full of energy or needs extra reassurance, I adapt to their needs to create a low-stress, safe environment where they can feel secure and understood.

Brianna L.
“Brianna is the best pet sitter and our go to gal for watching our animals when we travel. She has done a wonderful job taking care of our reactive pup, putting in extra care to continue consistent training and keeping him out of trouble. She has even enchanted our cranky cat and has helped manage his medication needs from inhalers and pills to injections. Admittedly, I have a tough household to manage, but Brianna makes it look easy. Brianna is incredibly detail oriented, and has always followed our directions exactly which is such a relief as a pet parent. I couldn’t imagine leaving my pets with anyone else.”
