“Mareth is the best pet sitter we’ve had. Our pup is nervous around new people. Mareth took the time to help her be comfortable. Mareth is dependable & always sends me pictures from her visits. Mareth is the best!”


“Bella did such an amazing job with my kitties! My kitty Sally is super shy and this was her first time having a babysitter. Bella was able to get Sally to trust her very quickly. She sent picture updates with every visit and kept everything super tidy!”


“Marissa, helped me in a pinch with a last-minute request for drop-in visits with my cat when I left town. She also agreed to an extra day when I decided to extend my trip. She communicated well with me before and during. I will definitely use her services again!”


About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life and currently care for five dogs and a cat of my own. Over the years, I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels, including puppies, seniors, and those with special needs. I’m experienced in giving medications, reading body language, and helping nervous or shy dogs feel safe and comfortable. Whether it’s playtime, a walk, or just quiet companionship, I give every pet the same patience, care, and love I give my own. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to offer drop-in visits and walks throughout the day, perfect for busy work schedules or midday breaks. I’m also available for weekend house sitting, so your pet can stay comfortable and cared for in their own home while you’re away. My flexible hours mean I can be there when your pet needs me most. I always prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort, whether I’m visiting your home or walking around the block. I follow your routine, respect your space, and make sure your pet feels secure and cared for. You’ll get updates so you know they’re in good hands.

About: I started taking care of family and friends dogs from 12 years old. I can bathe, walk, play with all ages. I have sat for senior dogs as well. I work from home so can come to your home and stay to take care of your fur babies and keep them company. I strive to keep your babies on the same routine as they are accustomed to. I will be keeping the same routine as you have set for your babies, to ensure their lives are disrupted as little as possible and make sure they feel safe and loved.

About: I grew up around dogs, cats, bunnies, hamsters, and ducks and loved every minute of caring for them! My wife and I have a 5 year old German Shepherd/Newfie mix named Noodle and she is basically an energetic seal with how much she loves water! We love taking her on trail runs/swims/paddle boarding/hiking and would love to do the same with your furry friends! I am currently working part-time and I have plenty of time in the morning, afternoon and evening on weekdays to get your pup some exercises/play/walks/or taken care of! I love making sure that pups get lots of exercise/stimulation and play time! Going on walks and spending time in nature is how I spent most of my time and I am happy to care for your pups in the same way or however they need love!

About: I love all animals. I would love to be able to care for your doggies, cats or any of your other pets when you can’t be there. I work full time but am available to drop in on or walk your pets in the afternoons after 3:30, in the evenings and on weekends I will make sure your pets are well fed and watered and whatever else they might need. And they will receive many snuggles and love!

“Kayla was amazing taking care of my pets in my home! They were respectful of my space, kept everything maintained as instructed, and made sure Teddy and Tina were happy and comfortable the whole time. I really appreciated the updates and photos — it made me feel at ease knowing everything was going well. I came home to a relaxed pets. I’ll definitely rebook and recommend them to others!”


About: I’ve grown up caring for fur babies of all sizes my entire life. I’ve been trusted watching friends and family pets since I was at least 15. From long weekends to multiple weeks, your baby becomes my top priority! I am working part-time, so I am flexible mornings to evening any day of the week. I’ll work around the pets necessities and giving them plenty of love and care. I’ll follow specific instructions left by pet owners. From playing with them building connections, to long walks, I make sure I’m always paying attention to their body language confirming comfort in their safe space.

About: Hi! I'm Kristoff, an experienced and passionate pet-sitter based in Marion. I may not be the chattiest person in the room—but that’s exactly why you can trust I’ll focus on what matters most: taking care of your furry family like they’re my own. I’ve been caring for pets since I was 10—walking, feeding, playing, and even doing basic training. Friends and family often rely on me to care for shy or energetic pets, and I pride myself on building trust quickly and gently. I currently work part-time and have a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to spend caring for your pets in your home. I’m happy to accommodate same-day requests, holiday visits, or anything last-minute. I’ll treat your pet like family—respecting your home, following your routines, and providing thoughtful care with plenty of updates. Whether your pet needs a calm companion or an active playmate, I’m here to help. My schedule is very flexible and changes often due to multiple part-time jobs and landlord responsibilities. However, I’m typically available every day, and I rarely work more than one job per day. This means I can often accommodate short-notice and same-day bookings, including holidays. Whether it's a walk, a drop-in, or even a quick ride to urgent care, I do my best to be there when you need me. Just reach out—I’ll do everything I can to make it work. I currently care for pets in their homes, as I’m in the process of buying my own. I have one dog of my own—a pit bull/shepherd mix—who is wonderful with people but not other dogs, so I do not offer boarding at this time. I take a calm, patient approach to shy or anxious pets—giving them space, earning their trust, and going at their pace. For high-energy pets, I offer play, walks, and activities to help release that energy in healthy ways. While I don’t currently own crates or pet-specific equipment, I’m open to meeting client needs as they arise. I treat every pet like they’re family, and I aim to make them feel safe, seen, and understood.

“McKenna did take care of Gravy really well! They went for a long walk:) She also accommodated my last minute time change! I truly appreciate her kind care and I will definitely recommend her to anyone:) Thank you so much McKenna!”


About: Hi, I’m so glad you’re here! I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a young girl, and they’ve always held a special place in my heart. As the lifelong primary caregiver for my own pets, I’ve gained years of hands-on experience and a deep understanding of what it takes to keep dogs happy, healthy, and loved. Animals tend to naturally gravitate toward me, and I truly feel that working with them is what I’m meant to do. I’m passionate, reliable, and committed to making sure every dog I care for receives the same attention and affection I give my own. Whether your pup needs a long walk, some playtime, a cuddle session, or just a calm and attentive presence—I’m here to help. I always follow your instructions carefully and prioritize your dog’s health, safety, and comfort above all else. I’d love to get to know you and your furry companion. Let’s connect! It is my everyday schedule, for all 4 of my animals. They are a huge part of my daily life, as i work from home so i am always here with them to provide care and attention. I have a large yard, along with 4 furry companions to keep your babies company, or if need be i have no issue crating or giving separate attention and boundaries to any of the pets.

About: I’ve been around and have taken care of my own dogs since I was 10, any age, any size. For as long as I can remember I’ve never not had a dog of my own. They were not lying when they said dogs are a man’s best friend. I treat my fur baby like he is my literal baby because in a sense he is. And I treat any other dog just the same! :) I work full time m-f 9-5. I keep my own fur baby crated and he is monitored on a camera and watches tv while I am away. I can easily leave your fur baby out or they can be crated as well. I come home on lunch break to take Gravel out. I can only do boarding during the week but I have open full availability on the weekends. There is a dog park less than a minute away from my apartment and I take my dog there daily. My own fur baby eats 2 times a day one morning one night. Gets treats often 🤭 and gets all the cuddles. I will treat your dog with the very same love and care as I do mine. Gravel is very loving and has been begging me for a play mate. Can’t wait to see where this goes.

“Sara is the best pet sitter ever! she responded immediately to my email, she was very professional and prompt, and took the excellent care of ALL my animals! Everything I asked her to do, she did it! She sent me daily updates and pictures, which was very reassuring as I was traveling internationally for 2 weeks. I would give her a 10-star if I could and will definitely use her services again! Thanks SO much Sara!”


“Melissa did a wonderful job with our cat while we were away on vacation last week! Our cat is usually very shy around new people, however she bonded very quickly with Melissa! I looked forward to the daily pics she would send me & the updates! It was really nice having the peace of mind that she was well looked after while we were away.
