“Brianna was fantastic! She came over for a meet and greet and stayed for a while getting to know us and our 2 girls. She had a notebook with great questions and wrote down our response. She kept in contact while we were gone sending pics and updates. We will definitely use her again next time if she is available.”


“Gabi did awesome with our Rory! She is a 4 month old lab mix that can be quite the handful. Gabi stayed over at our house for 4 days and was able to handle her great :)”


“We had Kaylee watch our two dogs while we were on vacation for a week. The communication, pictures, and constant updates put our minds at ease. You could tell that our dogs were loved and cared for. Whether you are out for multiple days, or just a drop in visit, Kaylee is your girl!”


“Tina came to our rescue on short notice and we couldn’t have been happier about how the stay went. She was always communicative, detailed and extremely responsible with her care for our Geoff. She is a true master and should be welcomed in any home to care for any kind of pet.”


“Charlotte was fantastic. We had a few hiccups and she was beyond helpful. She was very communicative and sent daily updates with pictures. I would highly recommend her to anyone for pet sitting and will definitely use her again!”


About: I was raised on a farm, love animals and will take care of yours as if they were my own! They will always have love! I have recently lost my full time position and now I am open to all day, every day, any day to help with your fur baby needs! I have a fenced in yard for your dog needs! I have multiple litter boxes for your cat needs. I will treat your babies with the utmost love and respect!

“Nicole has been a consistent friend to our dogs and has been a joy to have as a sitter. She communicates throughly while pet sitting and in preparation for her visits. We are happy to have her over and of course the dogs love her.”


“Austin took great care of our dog and cat while we were away. He sent us regular updates and photos, which eased our nerves about our anxious dog (who took to him immediately).”

“Yuliia was terrific with our very quirky, anxious rescue dog and with our sweet, easy dog. She was patient with the anxious guy and didn't give up on becoming his friend. We'd definitely recommend her!”

About: My dog is now 17 years so I have pet care experience in all stages of life! I also have experience with small and large dogs. I am loving and patient and ready to care for your pup or cat! I am my pets caretaker almost daily. Occasionally I watch my neighbors or extended family’s pets on the weekends or (less often) weekdays. I love animals so it’s a great part of my daily routine. I frequently take the pets outside and provide lots of love and play time! I make sure the pets are safe and secure in the environment, and hazards are out of the way.

About: I worked at Petco while in college. I have been around animals my whole life. I have experience other cat and dog sitting. I currently have two cats of my own and love them dearly. I will treat and care for your pets just like my Own! I am also a teacher and am very responsible and respectful of your home. I am currently on summer break so I have a lot of time for you and your pets! During the school year I am available nights, weekends, and holiday breaks. I prefer to be at your home, as I am currently living with my parents and my two cats. I want to respect their space. I am very clean, organized, and respectful of others spaces.

About: From My Heart to Yours: Animals have been my world since childhood, and caring for them isn’t just something I do—it’s who I am. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a senior dog needing a gentle touch, or a shy cat that needs patience, I treat every pet like my own. My goal is simple: to make sure your furry family member feels safe, loved, and happy. Animals have been at the center of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up on a large farm outside Ocala, FL, where my family bred AKC-registered Rat Terriers and Labrador Retrievers. While on the farm I also cared for horses, cattle, rabbits, ducks, chickens, and cats. From an early age, I learned the value of responsibility, waking up at 6 a.m. to feed the animals before school; spending afternoons and weekends training animals and administering medications and other treatments when needed. Growing up on the farm will teach you one thing above all else: if something needs doing - do it. I have stayed up and walked a colic horse all night to save its life. I assisted in multiple animal births from puppies, to cows, to eggs hatching etc.. One particular time required me, with bare hands, to help gently ease a stuck calf out of a struggling birthing cow. In moments like these, I take pride in myself that I have the guts and determination to do what needs doing. Over the years, I’ve gained more professional experience working at dog daycares and boarding facilities, though I quickly realized that the large, crowded environments don’t always allow for the individualized care each dog deserves. I prefer a smaller, more personal setting where I can focus on your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness. Currently, I work part-time with Green Dog Clean Dog mobile groomers as an administrative assistant, while occasionally assisting with grooming sessions for dogs who need an extra set of hands. Because most of my work is remote, I have the flexibility and availability to offer pet sitting, dog-walking, and drop-in visits—ensuring your pet receives reliable, loving care tailored to their needs. When you choose me, your pet isn’t just another booking—they’re family. I’m available almost any time of the week! My remote work with Green Dog Clean Dog can be done on a flexible schedule, so I can easily plan my day around your pet’s needs. The rare occasions I need to be on-site are always pre-scheduled, meaning you can count on me for consistent, reliable care when you need it most I offer professional, dependable service with genuine warmth and attention to detail. I currently do not offer boarding at my home but can pet-sit in your home, do walks or drop-ins!

“Amy was great with ZuZu. When we returned is was as if we had only been gone a few hours. ZuZu handled our absence nicely. Amy left the house in exactly the same condition as when we left. Amazing.”
