About: I've had cats and dogs since I was a baby. I've been responsible for animal care since I was 8, starting with my little baby kitty Angel. I can teach dogs basic manners and I'm happy to help seniors up and down the stairs. I have small hands perfect for administering medications and the skills a patience for nail trims. I hope to get pet CPR certified soon and have a background in human medicine, which, while not a direct translation, definitely helps with understanding the basics. I also have some experience with fish and snake care. I look forward to meeting you and your furry babies! I work full time but my shifts vary. The next couple of months I will be working a lot of night shifts so I'm happy to take in clients in the early morning or evening. I'm available for boarding most weekends. Any animal in my home will be treated like family. Special instructions will be followed to the T. Dogs will have plenty of time to play in the yard if they so wish but won't be left outside unsupervised. Snuggle and play time and exercise are important to me so each dog gets two walks a day unless health problems prevent them from doing so, and floor snuggle time at the end of the day. If you have special requests, I am happy to help!
“Stephanie was great with our 2 pups! She was reliable, showing up as scheduled and gave our boys the attention they needed while we were away. She was very communicative, leaving us without any worry.”
About: With over a decade of hands-on experience, I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family since I was a freshman in high school. I’ve cared for both dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities—feeding, walking, bathing, and giving them the love and attention they deserve. I currently have two pups of my own—a playful Frenchie and an energetic Pit Bull—so I’m no stranger to managing different temperaments and energy levels. Whether it’s walking, feeding, bathing, or just providing love and comfort, I treat every pet like family. Although I work full time during the week, pet care fits naturally into my routine because I truly enjoy it. I’m available on weekends from early morning to late night, and I can also do Friday evenings. I make sure to plan my schedule so your pet gets the attention and care they deserve. When providing drop-in visits or walks, I make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for in their own environment. I stick to their regular routine—whether that’s feeding, fresh water, playtime, or just some comforting company. For walks, I ensure they get plenty of exercise and attention, and I always prioritize safety and their unique needs. I treat every pet like my own and make sure you stay updated with how they’re doing.
“Marie was very attentive and communicative and took great care of my dog while I was away. She asked good questions, took the time to meet my dog before I left, and took lots of pictures. I would definitely recommend her as a reliable and responsible dog sitter!”
“Amy is awesome! She’s always willing to come and help me out by letting May have a potty break while I’m working late hours. She’s is so good with May and has been super helpful each time she comes and always makes sure she has food, water, and plays with her! I will continue to trust her with May in the future.”
About: I am 24 years old and a recent graduate at Johnson and Wales University. I have been taking care of my dog India for the past 6 years I even trained her on my own. I even took her to college with me for 4 years. I also took care of a Scottish terrier when we had her when I was in high school. I currently help take care of and train my grandparents schnauzers. I have taken my dog on many walks and bath her weekly. I have experience taking care of a cat as well as horses! I am adept at dealing with dogs with separation anxiety, PTSD, and big personalities. I currently work full time and my schedule varies based on the week and holidays. I typically have off Tuesday, Sundays so I will be available all day those days. I am also usually off by 3 at work. I have a fenced in backyard but due to my dog India being so small we typically keep her on a leash when taking her outside. For my 2 lab puppies they just wander the backyard. I do request a meet and greet for most bookings for safety reasons for new clients. At your home I will ensure all instructions are followed based on the needs of your pets!

Lexie A.
“We had the absolute best experience with Lexie as our dog sitter! She cared for our two dogs like they were her own — they were so happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved while we were away. One of our pups has a sensitive stomach and the other has skin sensitivities, and Lexie was incredibly attentive to both of their needs, following their routines and keeping us updated the whole time. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. We came home to two very content dogs and a tidy space, which was such a nice bonus. Lexie is reliable, caring, and clearly has a natural connection with animals. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

Rachel C.Star Sitter
“Rachel did an incredible job taking care of my high-energy, special-needs kitty, Squirrel. It’s not easy finding someone who can keep up with his unique personality and specific needs, but Rachel exceeded all expectations. She was patient, attentive, and made sure Squirrel was not only well cared for but also entertained and loved. Rachel kept me updated with messages and photos, showing Squirrel happily playing and enjoying her company. Knowing my kitty was in such capable and compassionate hands made all the difference. I highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a pet sitter who truly goes above and beyond!”
