About: I’ve taken care of family pets growing up for years, cats and dogs. And walked a dog for a neighbor twice a week for a year. My schedule is pretty flexible but it’s helpful to know a week in advance the timing of when walks are preferred so I can adjust accordingly. I am not able to do pet care in my own home as I am not able to house pets in my current lease, sorry!
“This was my first time having to get a pet sitter and I was nervous and anxious, but from our first messages exchanged, I knew Oline was going to be fantastic. And she just kept proving me right everyday she was caring for my babies. Her attention to detail when I walked her through my pets’ routines was amazing, and her communication while caring for them everyday was outstanding. I felt very confident having her care for my babies and will definitely be using her again if I need a sitter.”
About: I have had dogs my whole life, all shapes and sizes! I fostered cats and kittens during college and have a love for all furry critters. I currently have three fur babies of my own, all with unique needs. I work in the healthcare industry and am well versed in medical conditions both human and animal alike. My summer work schedule is super light and only varies slightly. If I work, it is for 1-2 hours so afternoons (after 1pm) and mornings (before 9am) are wide open. It’s best to always respect any animal in its home. Every animal/pet has their boundaries and I am a firm believer in respecting them. Your pets care is my number one priority and that starts with ensuring their comfort.
“Erin does such a good job! Walked my dog, played with her, and gives her lots of love! She went above and beyond with sending picture updates and even tidied up my dog’s toys that I’ve left out. I highly recommend Erin to anyone!”
“Rezvan did an AMAZING job taking care of my boy cats. She had no problem following the same way we feed them, she cleaned the liter boxes and played with them. It made me so happy to see the photos of my boys with her updates. She also went above what I expected. She saw their water fountain was getting dirty, so she cleaned it without us even asking. I definitely plan on having her watch my boys if I am out of town in the future.”

“Brooke was great! We met with her a few weeks before we went out of town so she could meet us and our pets, and she immediately made us feel comfortable. She took great care of not only our dog, but also our tortoise and fish, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. She was kind, reliable, and easy to communicate with throughout the whole process. We would definitely recommend her and would absolutely book with her again!”

I want to give the pet owner as much peace of mind as possible that their fur babies will be safe and happy. I’m available Sun-Sat. 7 days a week. I can also do overnights. Babysitting is my main job, but I’d love to switch to pet sitting full time! I try my best to care for pets as perfectly as possible. I’m great at following instructions for the animals and home. I will always spoil them too! I love giving lots of pets and hanging out on the couch with them. I will treat them like my own fur babies 😊!
About: I’ve been dog sitting since I was around 13 and I have been recommended by lots of people. I make sure I give your dog the best care and as much love and attention as possible. I think it’s so important to have someone trustworthy watching your doggies while gone to help the dogs feel secure and i’m that person to help do that! I do have a part-time job but I would still have plenty of time for potty breaks, walks, and play time with all your pups I have a big backyard with a fence and 1 friendly dog who would love some friends. If watching at clients home I will take all precautions needed to insure your dogs safety!!

I’m a college student looking for a summer job, to help pay for my tuition and expenses! This will be a great stress reducer. I am very patient and respectful of an animals boundaries.

“Christy was excellent! She was timely, responsible, and communicative, providing detailed updates about my old lady 🐶. And she was flexible in accommodating my request to extend two more drop-ins. I’ll 100% rebook with her in the future.”
About: Lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs, cats, and more—I treat every pet like family. I have a small dog of my own (Brio, 11 years!) and understand how important it is to trust who’s caring for your furry companion. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and value timely communication, providing high quality care and your trust in me. Some of my offerings include at least 3 walks and check-ins during the week, (depending on the need) and daily boarding and doggy day care on my off days, in a safe, pet-friendly home.

Feel free to reach out anytime with questions or to see if I'm a good fit for your pet—I’d love to meet them!

“Samantha is literally an angel! She took such good care of my kitten, she’s so neat, and she’s great with her communication. It makes my work day so much easier, knowing Samantha is able to check on Milo. I never have to worry when she’s around. She is THE BEST!!”

She was kind, reliable, and easy to communicate with throughout the whole process. We would definitely recommend her and would absolutely book with her again!
Alexandra was great! This was her first time sitting for us, and she quickly came over for a meet-and-greet and was wonderful with the dogs. She was friendly and kind, and she asked good questions to make sure she knew how to best care for our pups. She gave good, detailed updates every time she visited, like little mini short stories about our pups and her time with them. I felt like our dogs were in very good hands and very well cared for. We will definitely reach out to Alex the next time we need a pet sitter.
Gracen took amazing care of our dog while we were away and truly went above and beyond. Communication was great, and our pup was happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved when we got home! We felt completely at ease the entire time. We’ll definitely be booking with Gracen again!
Christy is amazing. She kept me up to date with what Shy was doing. Very thorough, kind, patient, and professional. Christy treated Shy with so much love and care, my Shy may leave me for Christy.. lol. In all seriousness. Christy was awesome with my baby going above and beyond to ensure that everyone was comfortable and Shy was good hand. I will be re-booking!
