“How we love Marae!! She is so kind and took such good care of our pups! I feel like I overloaded her with a lot of information to only care for our dogs for a day, but she followed everything so beautifully and went above and beyond. The photos helps me be confident that my dogs are taking care of. Honestly, my dogs are really chill, but I could tell in every picture that they were so comfortable with her and that meant the world to me. Please please book with her if you get the opportunity! I can’t wait to work with her again.”

“Very friendly, readily available, and great communicators. I felt like my pet was happy and safe in their care and comfortable with them in our home. They even brought in a package for us from our doorstep. Great pet-sitters and we will definitely book with them again in the future!”
“Amazing! Followed instructions w special food and meds, made sure my girls were safe and happy and handled them well even when they can be reactive 😅 would highly recommend!”

About: I am very good with reactive dogs, having had one myself. I have tried to become as knowledgeable as I can in all things dog, but am always willing to learn new things to better suit yours pups needs! I am working towards becoming an Animal Behaviorist! Dogs are my whole life and my goal is to give them the love and appreciation that they deserve, and meeting all their needs so they aren’t as stressed when their parents have to go somewhere! I work at a dog groomer, as well as a store in a neighboring town. My hours would be no later or earlier than 8:45am - 4pm. I do my absolute best to work with all schedules to best suit pet parent’s needs and am always up for a meet and greet to discuss needs! In my own home I have 2 dogs and a large fenced in yard. In your home, I will follow whatever rules you leave me, as well as any and all care instructions!

“Alyssa was beyond amazing and we couldn't have asked for a better sitter for our pets. I went out of town for a few days, and while my husband worked long hours she was able to help out a few hours each day to give our youngest pup a break out of the cage and take of our other pets that included guinea pigs and a bunny. Sadly, one of my daughter's guinea pigs became very sick and Alyssa was on top of notifying me right away and willing to go above and beyond to do anything to help out with me being 500 miles away from home. I strongly recommend Alyssa to anyone in need of a reliable and compassionate pet sitter. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”


About: I’ve been caring for dogs for many years and currently have two dogs of my own experience-wise, including raising one from a puppy. My first dog was a rescue who was a beloved member of my family until she passed away in 2024, which taught me a lot about patience, routine care, and caring for a dog through all stages of life. I also have a senior dog who is 12 years old, so I’m familiar with the extra attention and care older pets sometimes need. While I haven’t owned a cat myself, I’ve spent time around cats while visiting friends and family and am comfortable caring for both dogs and cats. I understand how important it is to keep pets safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. Pet care is already a consistent part of my daily routine since I have dogs of my own. Each day I’m used to feeding, walking, playing with, and checking in on them, so caring for animals fits naturally into my schedule. Because I work part-time as a swim instructor in the mornings and have lighter hours outside of that, I have plenty of flexibility during the day and evening to care for other pets. On a weekly basis, I’m available most afternoons, evenings, and parts of the weekend, and I’m comfortable adjusting my schedule to meet a pet’s needs and routine. Safety and trust are very important to me when caring for pets. In my own home, I care for my dogs by keeping a clean, calm, and safe environment. I make sure they always have fresh water, proper feeding schedules, and regular exercise. I’m attentive to their behavior and needs, and I prioritize keeping them comfortable and stress-free. When caring for pets in a client’s home through drop-ins or walks, I respect each pet’s routine and follow all instructions carefully. I always make sure doors are secure, pets are safe before leaving, and I provide updates so owners feel confident and informed while they’re away.

I can let the dogs out before work and as soon as I get home during the week, and as often as needed over the weekend. I have 3 fur babies and a 2.5 year old son who would love giving doggies lovins! My dogs get crated when we are not home so I ask you provide a crate if necessary!
About: I love animals of all kinds! At home, I have one dog, Stryker, one cat, Kimber, and two pet rats, Top and Henry.

I am able to come stay for longer hours/ overnight past 3:20 PM on weekdays, and can stay all day on weekends! I am good with any dog/cat breeds, and will offer unconditional love and support to your babies!
“Brianna was amazing! She took great care of our dog while we were gone. She was always easy to reach and communicate with, and promptly responded to any questions we had. She sent us videos and photos while we were away and our dog looked so happy in all of them. I would highly recommend her, and we will definitely book with her again.”

“Celeste was great! She was able to check in on my puppy while I was at work. She asked all the right questions to make sure she knew how to care for him best and absolutely followed through! I know he was in good hands with her.”

About: I grew up in a house full of animals! I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, hamsters, gerbils, and fish since I was a kid. I dog-sat and cat-sat for my neighbors growing up. I also have 2 cats of my own now 🙂 I work full-time as an SLP at an elementary school. I wanted to keep doing this on the side because I love animals ☺️ I am not available weekdays until after around 4:30/5pm. I am free all day on weekends, though!

I have experience distributing medicine both pill and liquid forms to mine and others animals. And have also taken care of many outdoor cats, setting up insulated shelters with straw, feeding, etc. I take my sisters dogs for walks often, and have walked plenty of dogs. I have a huge love for walking myself, my favorite downtime activity, so they will get lots of exercise if that’s what you’re looking for! I can crate, walk, play, feed, and give medicine to any pet that needs.
About: I’ve been watching animals since I was little. My love for them is unmatched. I will treat your animal like they are my very own!

About: My husband and I have been "boarding" friends' dogs for over 8 years now! We are HUGE dog lovers and have always owned medium to large sized dogs in our home from boxers and mutts to German Shorthaired Pointers. We have pet sat for a variety of breeds, including pits, shepherds, shitzus, labs and numerous other breeds. All of the dogs in our own family go through obedience training and we exercise them regularly! We are both avid exercisers and outdoors people. We have over 2 acres for your dogs to explore, run, sunbathe and more. I am also a runner so I am willing to run with your dog or take them on a hike! Our neighbor right next door is a Master Level dog trainer of over 30 years who we consult on all things doggy behavior and if you had any specific questions, we would definitely utilize her expertise! I have been a lifelong dog lover and would adopt all of the dogs if I could. Our goal is to provide your furbaby with all of the love and caring that you give them at home, while having a super fun, safe and energy-expending experience. I am a picture and video fanatic and will text/send frequent updates throughout the day of your pup!
