“Olivia was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of my dog and my home while I was away. I came back to a happy pup and a spotless house, which was such a relief after traveling. She was also incredibly accommodating when my flights got delayed and stayed an extra night with no hesitation. It gave me real peace of mind knowing my dog was in such caring and responsible hands. Highly recommend Olivia—she’s the best!”


“This was my first time Rachel took care of my dog, and I will definitely book her again. She took so good care of Snum. She understood my dogs sometimes weird behavior and worries (thunder, rain, wind etc.) she kept me informed every day, and she even cleaned my kitchen! I never worried for a second leaving Snum and my house in her care.”


“Haley took care of our pets and we appreciated all the photos while we were away. It allowed us to feel at ease knowing they were ok and she was able to spend some time with them, especially our pup who cannot be left out of the cage when alone.”


“Perfect! Sent pictures while I was gone and was very responsive. My pup is great and the house looks exactly the way I left it. Will book again!”


“Avery was absolutely amazing! Our dogs loved her and she left our house incredibly neat and clean. I would absolutely suggest her to everyone and I plan to use her again!!”


“She was amazing with my pets! She took them on walks everyday, to the pet park, and made sure to send me daily end of the day updates on everything they did! I’ve never felt more safe for my pets while leaving, i’m usually nervous about leaving them but now that I have Taylor I feel so good that i’m leaving them in good hands!”


“Mariana was an absolute gem! She cared for our two dogs in-home and immediately made them feel comfortable with her warm, friendly, and loving energy. She kept us updated with adorable photo check-ins and her communication was always clear and prompt. Our pups were happy and relaxed when we returned—it’s clear she treated them like her own. I’ll definitely be booking her again!!”


“Angela is fantastic! She was able to house sit on a last minute request and completely put me at ease with her compassionate and responsive care. She took wonderful care of my 2 dogs and sent me frequent updates and photos throughout. My dogs were calm and happy when we returned home. I will absolutely be requesting her more in the future!”


About: Not only will I deliver the best service to your pet, I will become its best friend! I will love your pet as my own, and appreciate them for how important they are to you! Pet care is something I truly enjoy, and weekends are the perfect time for me to give your pup my full love and attention. I work a typical Monday through Friday 8–5 schedule, so I dedicate my weekends to spending quality time with the dogs I care for—whether that’s going on long walks, playing fetch, or just cuddling on the couch. Your dog will be treated like family while they’re with me! Whether your pup is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, I treat every pet like my own. I pay close attention to their routines, preferences, and comfort to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I keep things calm and consistent—whether that means sticking to their feeding schedule, going on their favorite walking route, or making sure they have plenty of snuggles and playtime. My goal is to make their time away from you feel as stress-free and cozy as possible.


“Blair home sat Lacey and followed our care instructions, which are a complex because of what and how we feed her. The house was also tidy. Blair communicates well and has a pleasant manor and kind demeanor. We'd would have liked daily pictures but still recommend Blair wholeheartedly.”


About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats of a gentle, trained, and compassionate manner. My golden had been terrified of thunder/fireworks, so for years I have watched over him and gave him medication as needed! I’ve given animals I have watched medications, insulin shots for diabetes (I’m in healthcare), and have given baths as needed. I am very caring and I’ve always found animals to enjoy my company. I have pet sit over time to check in on their dogs or cats and to go on walks. In my last photo you will see a german shepherd mix who was a stray and dumped at my college. My professor found him and was keeping him in her office while we were having a meeting. I offered to take him in, gave him his first bath, earned his trust, and got him to eat and drink so he was healthy and could gain some weight. My professor and I found a loving home for “Buddy” after a few weeks! I also like to make time to allow the dog/cat to adapt to a newcomer if needed, or to drop by/call for an interview or any instructions. *If your dog is over 60lbs please check in with me first! I am a student who has afternoons and evenings open to spend time with your loving pet! Weekends are always free! 🐾 My schedule can depend on the needs of your animal. I’ll make sure your pet’a environment stays as normal as it can be whether it is at my home or yours. We will go to the park as needed or to the backyard :)

About: My first job was at an exotic pet shop. I quickly learned how to care for a variety of animals and a passion grew for ethics in animal care. I love cats and dogs, I’ve had them my whole life. And I also have worked with animal rescue for birds, lizards, turtles, and many other kinds of animals. I am very passionate about two things. Fitness and animals. If your dog loves to go for walks I look at it as a motivation to get myself moving! If ur can’t likes the tiring string play all over I make sure to commit until we’re both panting! Hehe I work full time Monday through Friday with plenty of time in the morning and evening to make sure to spend a good amount of time with your fur baby! I treat others homes as I would hope someone would treat mine. I’m an honest woman, with morals guided by my faith. I treat animals with the utmost respect.

“When I needed someone on fairly short notice to keep my dogs, Karin came through and was the perfect sitter. It’s obvious she cares for my dogs just as much as I do, and I’d recommend her to anyone. Thanks Karin for taking great care of my dogs!”


“Sagine was so great with our dog and 2 cats. She was sending pictures and always communicating. We felt very safe and secure with her watching them.”


“Stefanie did an amazing job! She gave tons of update’s and was great with my dog! I would recommend 100%!”


About: I treat every dog like family, providing a safe, loving, and playful environment. I focus on personalized care, constant attention, and consistent routines for comfort. I am a student taking remote classes, which means I’m home most of the day. This allows me to give your dog plenty of attention, playtime, and regular bathroom breaks. I follow your pet’s routine closely, offer a calm and safe environment, and make sure they feel loved and secure while you're away. In my home, I provide a clean, safe, and pet-friendly environment where dogs can relax and feel comfortable. I maintain their usual feeding, walking, and sleeping routines to help reduce stress. I offer plenty of playtime, cuddles, and regular potty breaks throughout the day. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, respect the space, and make sure the pets feel secure in their familiar environment. I also send updates and photos so you can feel confident and connected while you're away.

“Michele was so great and communicative. I got pictures at every visit and I could tell she genuinely cared about my cat! Would 100% book again!”


“Nancy did a wonderful job caring for my dog, Mila! She communicated frequently and sent pictures to keep me updated. I would definitely request Nancy again to watch Mila 😊”


“Corey did an incredible job! I reached out to him on short notice, and he was eager to help. The dogs were very well taken care of and happy when I got home. Corey sent picture updates and kept me informed throughout the whole stay. I will definitely be using him again!”


About: What sets me apart from other sitters? With over 10 years of experience and a lifelong connection to animals, I bring a calm, confident, and loving presence to every pet I care for. I grew up on a farm, so animal care has been second nature to me from a very young age. I’ve worked with everything from energetic puppies to slow-moving senior pets, and I know how to adjust my care to meet each pet’s individual needs. I’m comfortable with basic training, crate routines, medication administration, and senior care—including mobility support and extra TLC for aging pets. Whether your dog needs a structured walk or your cat just wants quiet companionship, I’m here to make them feel safe and loved while you're away. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority, and I treat every animal like family * I currently work Monday through Thursday, which allows me to dedicate **Fridays through Sundays fully to pet care**. During those days, I’m available *, making it easy to accommodate a variety of pet care needs—whether it's dog walking, drop-in visits, or extended care. Having open availability on the weekends means I can provide consistent, attentive service without being rushed. I genuinely enjoy spending my free days caring for animals, and I make sure each pet receives the time, attention, and love they deserve. --- Would you like to add anything about your experience or the types of pets you care for (e.g., dogs, cats, senior pets)? I can include that too! 1. Pet Sitting (In the Client’s Home) Daily Routine & Responsibilities: Follow the pet’s regular feeding, medication, and exercise schedule. Provide fresh water at all times. Clean litter boxes, cages, or yards as needed. Give affection, attention, and playtime based on the pet’s comfort level. Maintain communication with the pet owner (updates, photos, etc.). Ensure the home stays secure (locking doors, bringing in mail, etc.)

Brooke G.
“Ever since I have met Brooke, I have always saw her passion for animals, especially dogs. It seems wherever we go all dogs immediately radiate towards her and she gives off the same energy towards them. My family had a dog and it seemed like it was more excited to see her than me lol. If other people feel like they need their dog in good hands, Brooke is definitely the person for the job. I recommend everyone that wants a professional and reliable person, to choose Brooke.”
