“Iris did great with our older dog Dino, getting him to go on walks with her even though he doesn't always trust new people. She is a good communicator and very reliable. Will definitely be using her again!”

About: I specialize in working with puppies and reactive dogs, but love working with all dogs! I'd love to teach your puppy how to navigate the world and help set them up for success! This includes basic commands and potty training! I also know how difficult it can be to find someone to care for dogs who are more reactive and that's where I come in! I am confident in my ability to work with reactive dogs and have years of experience helping reactive dogs navigate the world. Pet care is my main focus and priority. I am available to do check ins throughout the day as well as dog walking. I'm confident that I can find a schedule that works for both my clients and myself! My goal is to make sure that your pet is well taken care of and happy. I strive to make my interaction with your pet as stress free as possible and will work with each of my clients to find the best way to ensure that.

About: Hello! I’m Melissa, a lifelong cat lover with extensive experience caring for feline friends. I’ve lived with cats all my life (except during college—definitely not by choice!). I cherish each cat I meet and treat them with the love and respect they deserve. Caring for your furbaby would be a rewarding experience for me! I currently share my home with my tabby, Fili, whom I've had for over 9 years and who requires a special diet. Growing up, I also cared for a tabby who lived to be 21 years old, giving me experience with both young and senior cats. I'm sensitive to the needs of kitties requiring special diets or treatments. I understand that some cats can be shy or intimidated by strangers in their territory, and I’m here to provide a calm and reassuring presence. Playful bites or scratches don’t faze me; I know that’s just part of their personality! In addition to my cat care experience, I’m also eager to start caring for dogs. I absolutely love dogs and am excited to expand my pet care services! Thank you for considering me as your cat sitter—I can't wait to meet your kitty (or pup) soon! I have an open schedule, allowing me to provide flexible pet care that fits your needs. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or simply keeping your pets company, I’m here to ensure they receive the attention and care they deserve. I can adjust my availability to accommodate your routine, making it easy for you to feel confident in the care your pets will receive. While providing pet care in a client’s home, safety and comfort are my top priorities. I ensure a welcoming and secure environment where pets feel at ease. I carefully follow the client’s routines and instructions to maintain consistency for their pets, helping them feel comfortable in their own space. I pay special attention to cleanliness, particularly in areas like litter boxes, to create a hygienic environment for the pets. I take the time to get to know each pet’s individual needs, ensuring they receive the attention and care they require. Building trust is essential, so I prioritize clear communication with pet parents. By being attentive, respectful, and caring, I aim to provide a positive and nurturing experience for every furry friend in my care.

About: I have had pets all my life, and I absolutely adore animals. I have two special needs dogs, and I believe they have saved my life. Pets are the best of us and deserve the best of us in return. I currently work independent contractor positions, so my schedule is extremely flexible. I maintain the pet care for my partner and myself everyday with multiple walks for our four dogs. Pet care is the best part of the day. Unfortunately, I cannot take more pets into my own home, but in someone else’s home, I would respect the space, maintain a clean and professional environment, and offer care and affection for the pet present.

About: I have had cats and dogs my whole life and have extensive experience pet-sitting for friends, family, and neighbors! I treat every animal like they’re my own—with respect, care, and a whole lot of love! I am currently a full time student with a flexible schedule. I'd love to fit walks, visits, and playtime with your pet into my schedule! I care for pets in their own home where they feel safest and most comfortable. Whether I’m house sitting, doing drop-in visits, or taking your dog for a walk, I follow your routine —from feeding schedules and playtime to medication and cuddle preferences. I make sure your pet feels calm, cared for, so you can return to a happy pet!

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was a child. I’ve been caring for pets of my friends, neighbors and family for years. I’ve walked, fed and boarded many animals and treat them like family members!! I currently work part time and have plenty of time to take care of pets! I board, feed and play with pets any week days and weekends. I have a fenced yard and can crate your dog if necessary. The pets will stay inside if I’m gone and we can walk or stay in the yard when outside!

“Carly is super friendly and kind with a comfortable energy. Our dog, Clara took to them quickly and clearly had a great time on her very first walk with Carly! We will book again for sure!”


“Angelina was amazing! Earl needed his bedtime walk. I tried to stand up and realized I’d thrown out my back. Angelina replied quickly and happened to live across the street. She was over to take him out within minutes. She followed my instructions for my anxious pup and we’re super grateful she was able and willing to come over at 10pm in 36°weather! Earl came home a happy pup.🐶 ♥️”
