About: Whether it’s dogs, cats, or a full farmyard, I’m here to make sure your furry (or feathered!) family members feel loved and cared for while you’re away. With me, every tail gets wagged, every purr gets earned, and every barn gets checked. From fetching sticks to filling feed buckets, I’ve got the energy and experience to handle it all. Your pets’ happiness and well-being are my top priorities, and I’m always ready to share photo updates of their adventures with me! Let’s make sure your pets have as much fun as you do. Book me today, and rest easy knowing your home is in great hands! 🐕🐈🐓 Balancing pet care with my current schedule is a priority, even as I prepare to go back to school and take online college courses. With flexible class times and the ability to work from home, I can ensure my pets receive consistent care and attention throughout the day. My schedule allows me to plan feeding, playtime, and exercise breaks around study sessions, ensuring their needs are always met. Additionally, I can monitor their well-being closely while still staying focused on my educational goals. This approach provides a harmonious balance between my responsibilities and giving my pets the love and care they deserve." Caring for pets is second nature to me, as I have a dog of my own and have been pet sitting for over 8 years. My extensive experience includes working with a variety of breeds, temperaments, and needs, which has taught me patience, adaptability, and the importance of understanding each pet’s unique personality. Whether it’s ensuring regular walks, maintaining feeding schedules, or providing companionship, I’m committed to creating a safe and loving environment for animals. My passion for pet care is evident in the trust I’ve built with both the pets and their owners over the years."

“Janae has watched my pets on several occasions, and I totally trust her with everything involving my house and pets. My pets adore her like she is one of the family. Never have I had any problems and she always communicates very well. I dread the day I do not have her around to be able to watch my pets.”

7. Jessie N.
“My four legged fur baby was so well cared for by Jessie when I went out of town! He had a great time and I never worried for even an instant because I knew he was in the most competent and caring hands. I would recommend Jessie without hesitation!”


8. Kathryn K.
“Kathryn is the absolute best! She watched my rambunctious Frenchie last month while I was out of town for a week and I couldn't have asked for a better dog-sitter. She's super bubbly and fun to be around and my only negative is that Bruno was a tad bit miserable when she left! She kept me updated the entire time she was at my house and she even sent photos of their time together, they had so much fun and went on a ton of adventures! And, I was completely put at ease and knew she had everything handled, all while giving my Bruno the attention and love he needs and so deserves. I've certainly found my forever dog-sitter and I know you will too. Don't bother looking anywhere else, hire Kathryn without hesitation! ”

About: I have been house and dog sitting since I was in my teens. I have a Yorkie myself that is registered as a service animal and needs to travel with me, but she is amazing with both dogs and cats, is hypoallergenic, doesn’t shed, and is house-trained. I know how important it is for some pets to be in their familiar environment while you are away, and I’m here to help meet whatever needs they have in their normal routine, including walks, medications, watering plants, bringing in mail/packages, and cleaning up any unexpected messes your pet may have. I’m meticulously clean, responsible, and respectful of your space. I love to hike with my own dog and we’re very active so I’m happy to meet any exercise needs your dog may have as well. Reach out to book today! Your fur babies and home are in good hands. I work full-time M-F, but I’m salaried and could absolutely come check on your pet every couple of hours, if needed, around work meetings. I’m happy to provide walks in the morning, afternoon or evening to maintain your pet’s normal routine. I’m available all day on weekends and all evening. I know how important it is for some pets to remain in their home when their parents are away. I’m happy to give your pet that comfort and security while providing additional services, such as cleaning up any unexpected pet messes, bringing in your mail, and watering houseplants. I have a small service dog that needs to travel with me, but she is great with both cats and dogs, is hypoallergenic, and doesn’t shed. I’m meticulously clean and responsible, and love animals.


10. Grace C.
“Grace is the best pet sitter we’ve ever had! We’ve used her dog-sitting services multiple times and she is always super easy to communicate with, dependable, and she went above and beyond what we asked of her. She asked if she could take our dog for a nice trail run which made us so happy to know he was getting out for some fun exercise that we didn’t expect while we were out of town. We highly recommend Grace if you’re looking for complete peace of mind for your pet while you are away.”


11. Suzanne B.
“Suzi is an animal lover!! She has watched my 2 large dogs on multiple occasions at her home. She has taken care of them at my home as well, along with my 2 cats. Each time her services have been outstanding!! My animals all love her and are well taken care of while I’m gone.”


12. Lucille B.


“I can’t say enough good things about Lucille! She communicated consistently and kept me updated with photos and messages, which really put me at ease. Even when my sassy kitty decided to give her a little love bite, she handled it with such professionalism and understanding. It’s clear she truly cares about animals and their unique personalities. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter!”


13. Eleandra L.

“Absolutely awesome experience. My boyfriend was having surgery and we needed someone to check in on our girl. Eleandra was wonderful and eased a lot of our worry. It was already a stressful time, but hiring her was a big help. Highly recommend.”


14. Abigail L.
“Abigail has been a great friend of mine since about middle school, she was always so good with her family pets as well as mine and always made sure the fur babies were taken care of. She is very respectful as well, we have had her come over and check in after school for a week while my family and I had to travel for a family emergency and she showed my parents every ounce of respect even texting my parents when our youngest dog got sick! She really is an amazing fit for this job.”

16. Brooke P.
“I met Brooke when she worked at Olde Towne Pet Resort (OTPR) as a Doggie Day Camp Counselor. I had an over rambunctious young lab that required alot of exercise and training. Brooke worked with Cooper and “trained” me as well on how best to control my crazy pup! She was my personal “dog whisperer”!! She was loving to all the animals, professional and just had that special quality that when you left your pet with her, she was going to treat it like it was her own. I had established a Labrador Meet Up group and partnered with Brooke to bring the group of Labs to OTPR monthly for play time. It was a great partnership and I enjoyed working closely with Brooke, she took care of all the details, i.e. ensuring required vaccinations, set up, marketing, etc. Her professionalism, can-do attitude and her friendliness to the staff and customers, I was not surprised to see her move up in the ranks at OTPR to management positions with increasing levels of responsibility. And as for the dogs…they LOVED Brooke! She was loving, caring, playful and the perfect Alpha-dog! The only negative I have is I was so disappointed when Brooke left OTPR to start the next chapter of her life. Happy for her, but OTPR lost a great leader and her customers lost a special person that they trusted to care for their 4-legged family member. Hiring Brooke will be the best decision you will make for your company!”

“Katherine has cared for both our cat and dog several times over the last 5 years. Katherine is a very responsible and trustworthy individual who is always punctual and cares for our pets as if they were her own. Our pets love her kind and energetic personality and we are able to rest at ease when we leave them under her care.

“I have known Chelsea for many years and know she would take good care of your best friend, she has dogs of her own and all dogs like her. I would trust her with mine.”


20. Marcela D.
“Marcella is such a wonderful and caring person and dog sitter! She treats every pupper who stays with her like family. My little Bailey (a 10 lb chorkie) loves staying with Marcella and I so appreciate that she sends me daily pictures of Bailey with updates on her adventures. Marcella’s home is warm, comfortable and dog-friendly and her large backyard is the perfect place for dogs of all sizes to get their romp on! I hate leaving my fur baby when I travel but I feel happy when I know she’s hanging with Marcella. Highly recommended.”
