“We are vary happy to have found Jillian when our usual person was not available. She is kind and gentle and ours dogs did very well with her. It always great it feel good about someone who takes good care of our dogs. We will definitely hire her in the future. Don’t hesitate considering her to care for your pets when you are away.”
“Christine is a great sitter and did an exceptional job. The dogs loved her and were always excited when she came by the house. I highly recommend her!!”
“Alanna was wonderful! She spent time to actually interact with my cat instead of just filling his food bowl and leaving. She also noticed a hazard on one of his toys that had been broken and made sure it was kept out of his reach so that he wouldn't hurt himself. She was also good about updating me on his behavior as well as notifying me of packages arriving at our home. I am so grateful I found Alanna to watch my cat! Knowing she was watching him definitely made my trip away from home more worry free!”
“Coryn communicated so well with us before, during, and after the visit dates. Our skittish pup warmed up to her quickly and all the pics and videos have me great peace of mind.”
“Min ham was great with Albus! She went out of her way to give him extra love and even a little grooming. Our cat loves his time with people and we’re grateful that Minnhan took such nice care of him!”
“Lance is great with our dogs! The first day was hectic because our little dog is a nut job. The second day was much better. Lance is very kind and patient with our new puppy Xena and with our other old dogs. I'm very pleased so far with how he's interacting with them and they love him now. We will continue to use Lance on a weekly basis.”
“Vanessa was great with our two cats. She sent daily updates and pictures. Made sure she saw both cats and gave them pets and treats. She came during the agreed upon times. Vanessa contacted us when there was an issue with our door and was kind enough to bring in our trash cans for us. Definitely will contact her for our next trip!”
“Robert has built up a connection with Bear and does get with communication.”
“Nestor is a one-person (ME! lol) cat and he has come to love Susan and looks forward to her visits. She is so patient and kind with him and respects his boundaries. Susan is the first person I ask when I need to go somewhere as I trust her 100% with my fur baby.”
“Justin is wonderful! Our cats took to him well, and he really cared for them as well. He made sure they were played with and fed and helped clean the litterbox. Would definitely recommend Justin and would book again.”
About: I have had dogs my entire life, and my major responsibilities started at about 8 years old. I aided my own senior dog with her health issues as well as my neighbors dog who requires extra medical attention. I am well-versed in dog-breeds and the nature of these animals. I love all dogs and have always been the dog-walker for my neighborhood. I have experience with puppies and am comfortable with large dog breeds. This will most likely be my main job, as I am a university student returning home for the summer. I am super flexible schedule wise and can easily meet any expectations. I have a fenced yard and my own dog who is 10000% dog-friendly. I am used to crate-trained dogs as well as those who may need to be restricted in the house. They will have my full attention no matter the environment to ensure they are well taken care of.
About: I have trained my puppy Shiba Inu and cared for her through her senior years. I am able to understand pets special needs and not afraid of getting my hands dirty. I am flexible with hours during the week and weekends. At this time, I am available almost all hours. Please contact me 3 days prior so I can meet your loving pet. My yard is fenced in with a gate. I will manage daily potty breaks and walks regardless of the temperatures. Play time as needed will be provided.
“We could not have asked for a more professional and kind person to care for our senior dog. Aaron has two senior dogs himself, so I was confident that he would understand how important it was to us that our dog felt comfortable and safe while we were gone. Bluff has been really happy and active since we got back, and I feel that is truly because of the care he received while we were gone. Thank you, Aaron!”

I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, including seniors—my last dog lived to nearly 19, so I understand the extra love and patience that comes with senior care! I share my home with my husband, Alex, and our sweet 8-year-old Chihuahua mix, Pepper. For any boarding or daycare stays, I always set up a meet and greet in a public space to make sure Pepper and your pup are a good fit first.

I’m off on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, so those days are completely open for dog care, whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping your dog company. On the days I do work, I still have plenty of time to give your pet love and attention, with walks and visits built into my routine. We live in a quiet, gated community, which offers a peaceful setting for pets. In my home, I offer a safe, comfortable environment where your pet can feel relaxed and happy. Our community has a fenced dog park along with plenty of grassy areas for play and exercise. There’s also a walking trail nearby, which is perfect for daily walks and exploring.

“This was our first time hiring a catsitter and we are so glad to we did it with Marilyn! When we met, it was clear that she has a genuine love of animals. Her communication was great and she is very experienced and highly professional. We also appreciated her willingness to do little things like bring in the mail and water the plants while we were away too. I have no hesitation recommending Marilyn to anyone needing a pet sitter!”
About: I’ve taken care of my own 2 puppies, almost 4 and 2. And helped friends with boarding and grooming. Regularly walk the dogs along the canal. I work from home, with much freedom to come and go. I am open to board, walk, or drop in at any time at the moment. My dogs mostly free roam down stairs. They are trained to go into a crate or play pen when needed. I take them out several times a day and they eat twice a day in the morning and evening.
About: I adore caring for and spending time with animals. My schedule is negotiable. Your fur babies will be cared for as though they were mine.

I am willing to do check-in, daily walks, and occasional over-night stays. I will carefully follow all instructions that are given to care for your baby to ensure they are safe, and well cared for at all times.
