“Jennifer is amazing! Our babies were very happy, she loved them up for us while we were gone & took great care of them. Would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone needing someone & will surely wish to have her take care of our babies again. To note, this was very last minute as our plans changed & she provided us comfort before & during our absence knowing they were being loved up & well taken care of. Thanks Jennifer”
“Shari took excellent care of my two kitties when I had a last minute trip to take. She was on time and sent adorable photos during her visits. The ex-feral even came out to meet her which says a lot about her great kitty energy. I felt confident that they were safe in her care. It's clear she loves animals. Will be asking for Shari's help in the future!”
About: I’ve had pets most of my life, and my heart belongs to my two doodles—Phoebe, a 50lb labradoodle, and Faith, a 15lb mini goldendoodle. I understand the needs of both large and small dogs, including exercise, routine, and affection. What sets me apart is my calm, reliable presence and attention to detail—skills I honed during my career in law enforcement. I’m especially comfortable with dogs that need structure or a little extra patience, including seniors or those with unique personalities. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in, or extended stay, your pet will be in caring, capable hands. I'm retired, so I have a very open and flexible schedule. That means I can give your pet the time, attention, and consistency they deserve—whether it's early morning walks, mid-day check-ins, or overnight stays. Your pet’s routine becomes my priority. Safety and trust are top priorities for me. In your home, I always respect your space and follow your pet’s routine closely—feeding, walking, medications, and comfort needs. I stay calm and attentive, which helps pets feel secure and relaxed. You can count on me to show up, stay in touch, and treat your pet like my own.
“Theresa took great care of our not-very-friendly cat. She visited him for a week we were out of town and kept in touch with us daily with notes and pictures. She soon found his favorite toy and won him over by the second day. Our cat (name OP) is not a great traveler, so he got a break from long rides in a car and we didn't have to worry about him having an "accident" in the car or wandering off when we had to stop. We intend to book her again.”
About: Hello Pet Parents, my name is Elianna Shaffer and I’m excited to make new furry friends. I grew up with two cats and a dog. Now, as a young newlywed, we have our own kitty named Milo. He is our sweet, fun-loving, all black Bombay. I love cats and hope to foster kittens in the near future. Although I’m more familiar with cats, I’m ready to step out of the box and take care of some canines. I’m looking to walk dogs, cat sit, and other services upon request. I have experience with pet sitting for family and friends. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and a bird. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies!! I’m only working as a pet caregiver, so I will give your pets the utmost care. I’m available every weekday and occasionally weekends, upon request. I have a screened in back porch for animals to get fresh air. We do not have a fenced in yard yet, but have access to my parents yard that is 5min away from our house. We have a nice neighborhood and parks nearby for walking. We have space to board cats and small to medium sized dogs. Will consider care for large/giant dogs upon request. Also willing to accommodate boarding, sitting, etc.. for more than two pets of the same house hold upon request.
About: From big dogs to small kitties…I’ve taken care of all and would love to give your pet the same love they deserve. Family and friends have trusted me to care of their pets and now I’m just branching out to make more furry friends. I am currently an online student for Interior Design. I have finished this semester early, and wanted a part time job to fill in some time! Due to having experience in the Interior Design world I am extremely respectful of my clients homes, as well as their animals. Stepping into a clients home is strictly business.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, and have been heavily involved in caring for them since I was a little girl. I’m experienced in caring for dogs of all sizes, along with cats. My knowledge ranges from bathing to walking to administering some medications for both cats and dogs. I’ve worked at a dog groomers so I’m experienced in bathing and handling different temperaments and personalities! While I have a full time job, I am available for morning and evening care Monday-Friday with completely wide open Weekends available for your pet need! I can crate your dog if that is needed! Along with making sure the environment is safe if I’m going out to walk your fur baby, such as making sure the pavement is not to hot or the weather is not to extreme. Additionally, I’m great at keeping a focused eye on your pets to make sure they don’t get into harms way, escape the house, get into something they aren’t suppose to, and overall keeping them safe and loved.

About: I understand how important pets are to our families — and how stressful it can be when you need to be away, whether for travel, work, medical appointments, or even a full day of activities. That’s why I provide dependable, loving care so you can focus on what you need to do and truly relax, knowing your dog is safe, comfortable, and happy. I’ve cared for pets my whole life and have experience supporting seniors and special-needs pups who may require medication, mobility help, or special diets. I follow your routines closely so your pet feels secure and understood. For boarding, your dog enjoys a private, one-family suite in my home — a calm, cozy alternative to noisy kennels and group boarding. No mixing unfamiliar pets — just personalized attention, comfort, and companionship. Puppies that are potty trained are welcomed. Whether it’s overnight boarding, walks during a busy day, or drop-ins while you’re out, I’m here to make sure your pet receives the attentive, gentle care they deserve. Pet care is part of my everyday routine, and I’m home often throughout the day to provide potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. When I have boarding guests, I adjust my schedule around them so they’re never left for long stretches — their comfort and safety always come first. Whether you’re traveling, handling medical appointments, working long hours, or just need an extra hand, I’m here to help so you can focus on what you need to do without worrying. I keep my calendar updated ahead of time and communicate clearly so you always know what to expect. Every pet becomes part of our little family while they’re with us. Your dog has their own quiet, cozy retreat connected to our home — close enough for comfort, but separate from the busy areas so they can fully relax and feel safe. The suite is spacious — approximately 11 ft x 14 ft — giving dogs plenty of room to stretch out, move freely, and relax comfortably without feeling confined like a traditional kennel. The room has tile flooring for easy sanitation, a ceiling fan and AC, cozy blankets and mats, a HEPA air filter, and a hurricane-rated exterior door with frosted glass to let in safe natural light. The suite also includes a TV with calming music and nature scenes, along with soft lighting at night to help pups settle comfortably. Pets always have access to fresh, clean spring water — the same water my own dog drinks — to support healthy hydration. Dogs enjoy supervised off-leash time on our fully enclosed lanai, and optional saltwater pool time if approved by the owner. Potty breaks, sniff walks, and sunshine time happen around our 1.15-acre property, including the garden — always on leash outside the lanai since our yard is bordered naturally. Stevie, my friendly Labradoodle, only interacts with visiting pups if owners request it and both dogs are comfortable. There are no children in the home, and I’m always nearby to ensure pets feel secure, understood, and cared for. For walks and drop-in visits, I follow your instructions closely to ensure your pet feels secure and understood while in their own home or neighborhood. Whether you’re traveling, at a medical appointment, busy with work, or out with family, you can count on me for safe, reliable companionship and frequent updates so you always feel connected. Every pet here is treated with love, patience, and the same care I give my own dog. 🐾💛

“Sara was everything we could have hoped for and more! It’s so hard to trust your fur babies with a new sitter but Sara exceeded all expectations. Our kitten food and litter areas were spotless and bowls were all washed. She was on time for all visits and sent pictures and videos. Sara even left a gift for us and the kittens. Highly recommend Sara and will seek her out again when we need our babies looked after.”
“Stephanie showed up on time for not only the meet-and-greet, but also the two morning visits that I requested. She followed directions that I left, kept in contact with me, sent photos, and reassured me (around an upcoming storm) that she would take care of any situations that came up. She went over and above!”
About: I have had both cats and dogs My entire life. After 16 AMAZING years with my dogs Axel and Lugnut, I have found myself with an empty nest. I'm not quite ready to adopt another yet, it is just too soon. However, I would love to hang out with your dog (or dogs!). I have experience with dogs both big and small, young and old, and my sweet girl who just passed was deaf, so I have experience with special needs. I have successfully fostered high risk dogs helping them find their perfect forever home. 🐾 I am a stay at home caretaker for my father-in-law, so I can provide around the clock care for your sweet puppers. I am also quite active, and love to take walks, so your good boy or girl will think they are on vacation! I have an unfenced yard, and I live within a 3 minute walk to a large park. My neighborhood is quiet and is sheltered from busy streets. I would love to have your dog come visit!
“Jana is an awesome pet sitter. She kept me updated with regular pictures and messages, and it was obvious our cat Freddie was comfortable and well cared for. We came home to a clean house and a happy cat! I highly recommend Jana and will definitely book her again.”
“First of all my thanks for caring for my very spoiled cat-boy. He was happy and well groomed. Thank you for that. Gretchen made certain to attend to details and took great care of Biggie when we went on a cruise. She even left a note about his sneezing. Not unusual for him and I’ll take him again to be checked out. Absolutely wonderful care and no doubt she loves animals with all her heart.”
