“Abigail was a great sitter for my fur babies! She gave me daily visit updates and sent pictures too. The pups loved her and I will definitely recommend her to others who are looking for a sitter!”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats in my household for as long as I can remember. Friends and family have trusted me to check in on and care for the pets for years now and I always love getting to know the inside personalities of your furry friends! I’m currently living with my parents while I’m on break from college and working a few odd jobs here and there to make extra money, so I have a very adjustable schedule that allows for plenty of time to care for your pets! I have a fenced in back yard and a pretty spacious house. I do have a dog who loves other dogs so they can certainly play together if applicable. My two cats would largely just ignore/avoid animals they aren’t familiar with. In your home I can adjust to whatever your pet’s individual needs are.
“Aaron is simply amazing! This is our 2nd time having him dog sit at our house. He goes above and beyond the call of duty. He is very communicate, sending updates and pictures at least twice a day. We don't have to worry or stress about our fur babies or our home when we are away. He is our go to person.”


“We had a wonderful experience with Chloe! She took great care of our dog and two cats while we were away and gave us total peace of mind. She sent frequent pictures and check-ins, which we really appreciated, and it was clear our pets were happy and well cared for. We would absolutely recommend her and would love to have her sit for us again!”

“We’ve used Dominic twice now and know our dogs are in great hands!! She’s responsive, sends lots of photos and updates, and is respectful of our home. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone!!”


“Sean took amazing care of my elder dogs and making sure they had every need met. We felt so secure with Sean watching them for a whole week ! He sent tons of pictures and updates and the pups always looked so happy”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 14 years and have experience with puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs. Most recently, I cared for my Mini Schnauzer for 14 years, which gave me extensive experience with daily care, feeding, walking, monitoring health changes, administering medications when needed, and providing companionship throughout all stages of life. I have experience recognizing when a dog may need urgent veterinary attention and have even had to perform emergency CPR on a dog. Because of this, I understand the importance of staying calm, observant, and responsive in unexpected situations. My home includes a fully fenced yard as well as access to approximately one acre of land where dogs can safely walk, explore, play, and enjoy outdoor time under supervision. I understand how important it is to provide a safe, loving, and structured environment for every pet. Friends and family have trusted me to help care for their dogs, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m comfortable with dog walking, drop-in visits, daycare, and boarding for friendly, well-socialized dogs. My goal is to make pets feel comfortable, secure, active, and loved while giving owners peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and have extensive experience caring for dogs. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, medication administration if needed, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. my home, dogs have access to a fully fenced yard and approximately one acre of land for supervised walks, exercise, and exploration. I strive to maintain each pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. In a client’s home, I follow the pet’s established schedule and instructions closely. I can provide feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, medication administration, basic cleanup of pet-related messes, mail collection, plant watering, and other light household tasks as agreed upon. My goal is to make the experience as stress-free as possible for both pets and their owners.
About: What sets me apart is the level of love, patience, and personal attention I give every dog in my care. I treat each pet like family, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I focus on creating a calm and positive experience tailored specifically to them. I just graduated from college so my flexible schedule allows me to accommodate walks, feeding schedules, playtime, potty breaks, and personalized care throughout the week, including mornings, evenings, and weekends. Whether caring for energetic puppies or senior dogs needing extra patience and comfort, I adapt to each pet’s unique needs and routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I keep their normal routine consistent by following feeding instructions, providing fresh water, regular potty breaks, exercise, and companionship so they feel safe and comfortable. I'll closely monitor each pet’s needs and behavior, including special care for puppies, senior pets, or those needing medication.
About: I have experience taking care of both dogs and cats in a responsible and consistent way from a young age. My best experience is from my pet Louise who is a pit mix, I learned a lot from this when it comes to handling different behaviors and needs as this was the first animal that was my own and not a family dog. I grew up around both big and small dogs, so I’m very comfortable with all breeds and sizes. I’m also a very active person, so I can keep up with walks, playtime, and outdoor exercise without any issue. I make sure dogs are fed on time and get the attention and structure they need. Overall, I’m reliable, attentive, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. Im currently working at a job with flexible scheduling. I have a pretty free schedule especially in the mornings and after 1:30pm. I’m off on weekends. Safety, trust, and environment are a big part of how I care for dogs. I always make sure I understand their routine and any boundaries before anything else, so they feel secure with me. I stay aware on walks, keep them on safe routes, and watch their body language so nothing gets out of control. I’ve grown up around dogs so I’m comfortable handling different temperaments, and energy levels. Building trust is important to me, so I stay calm, consistent, and patient with them instead of rushing anything. I also make sure their environment feels stable, clean, comfortable, and familiar so they’re not stressed while their owners are away. I pay attention to details like doors, food, water, and anything they could get into just to keep everything safe. Overall, I treat every dog like they’re my responsibility and make sure they feel secure, understood, and cared for.
“Thank you for being there for Bentley when we can't be. I know he enjoys your company and we can't forget ball time lol.See you in the last weekend of Jan. Seriously longest month ever!”

About: I’m always a go to, I’m flexible and do what’s needed for the family and the dog. I’m genuine and will help whenever you need. I have a dog myself so I take care of him everyday. He eats and goes out on time, and then he just relaxes ! I will make sure everything is put back in the right place, clean up after myself and the dogs. I treat it like it’s mine.
“Alexis was wonderful with our two labs, Huck & Finn. She watched them from 9:00 am -9:00 pm and sent me updates with a video and photos throughout the day. We felt at ease with her caring for our boys. She played with them and kept on schedule with their feeding. We will definitely have Alexis care for our guys again soon. I would recommend her for anyone if you’re looking for reliable care.”

About: I have 7 years of experience as a veterinary assistant, where I provided health care, daily care, and boarding support for pets. I’m passionate about keeping animals happy, healthy, and comfortable, and I treat every pet like my own. I do work a day job, but my hours are very flexible (typically 9–3). This gives me short days and long days, but I always have long lunches in between, which allows me plenty of time to give pets the care and attention they need. When pets stay in my home, I have more time to dedicate to them with extra play, walks, and cuddles. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to use my time wisely to meet their needs, whether that’s feeding, walking, giving medications, or just spending quality time to keep them comfortable and happy.

Open communication with you about your pets will allow us to always be on the same page. Growing up with pets, my parents always taught me how to be responsible with our dogs and cats, and how to properly take care of them.

Sudensa was great! We have two big German Shepherds and she played with them and walked them every day. She sent me updates and photos, and if she was unsure about anything she reached out to ask questions. I felt super comfortable having her stay with our boys!

Rebekkah did an awesome job! She was so attentive to Charlie and I felt so comfortable with her watching him In our house. She was incredibly generous with her updates for us. We knew all along how Charlie was doing. I could not have asked for a better caregiver! Tremendous!!!!
