“Jennifer did a wonderful job caring for our 3 dogs and 3 cats while we were gone for the week. Jennifer sent daily updates and pictures and was immediately responsive to our texts. We returned to a happy crew and clean house. She even checked in a few days later to see how the animals were adjusting. We will use her again and you should too!!!”

“I cannot say enough great things about Jack… His professionalism is top-notch, and his care for my two dogs could not have been better. He kept them on their routine with feeding and medicine, he was great, giving them daily exercise and care, and he just literally checks every box perfectly, and I felt lucky to have him as did my dogs”

About: I began doing pet sitting in 2016 for family & friends, and that was most of my sitting experience until I began my dog training certification. Now I’ve been in pet care professionally for two years, and have had my dog trainer certification for half of that. My weeks are based around pet care. I do it full-time and have a customizable schedule based around my various clients & appointments. I have special hours available at request. I make sure to get an exact outline of what is expected/allowed for the pet, and am not shy about requesting elaboration if there’s any confusion on my part. Additionally, I like to do what I can to keep them mentally stimulated with games, activities, and some light obedience training/reinforcement so they can hopefully carry that good behavior over to their daily life.

About: I have had a pitbull dog for 10 years and provided care for her until the end of her life. I also have experience with other dog breeds and have studied pet care. i’m currently working part time so i’m very flexible with time and providing care during those hours. I’m usually able to work around my schedule for exceptional care for your pets! :) I can provide any care you need as long as you provide a thoroughly list of details and time for if and when your pet needs care and what exactly you expect.

“I received multiple pictures of Maxximus and Lola and messages from Sarah while I was away. This reassurance allowed me to enjoy my vacation. She also kept the house organized for my return. Thank you!!!”

“We recently had the pleasure of having Shalynn care of our dogs, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. She was extremely professional, reliable, and showed a genuine affection for our pets. Shalynn followed our instructions perfectly and kept us updated, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend [Pet Sitter's Name] to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. We will definitely be using her services again in the future!”

“Emily took great care of our pets and home while we were away! We came back after our trip to a clean house and happy pups and kitties. She is very responsive to messages and sent updates of the pets. I would absolutely hire her again!”

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my lifelong experience with animals. I've always had pets, including those I've rescued and others I've raised from birth, so I'm familiar with a wide range of temperaments and needs. I've also provided loving care for several senior dogs and a senior cat I had since she was a kitten, giving me valuable experience with pets at every stage of life. Since I am primarily self employed, I am flexible in terms of availability! I am available day or night. I try mt best to accommodate client needs. Since I love in a second story condo, I walk my two canine boys several times daily for exercise and for bathroom needs. My cat, Gracie stays indoors but has everything she needs at her disposal.

“Oreo truly appreciated Jenny's company. She was friendly and treated her well.”

“Alexandra is wonderful and the dogs were extremely well-cared for! It was so nice to know someone was at our home and watching our dogs while we were gone. Alexandra was competent, attentive, and truly loved our dogs. Our dogs were happy to see us, but calm and relaxed so we knew they had been absolutely fine with Alexandra. Will definitely be contacting Alexandra first when we are looking for a house and dog sitter!”

About: As an avid runner and walker, I love to get dogs out and about! At home, I have four chihuahuas and two cats, so I'm very comfortable with both big and small pets. My wife even calls me Dr. Dolittle because dogs tend to gravitate toward me. I would be thrilled to offer pet sitting and overnight stays for your furry family members! I have previously worked as a vet tech in a cat hospital and have been around both cats and dogs my whole life. Give me a call to discuss your pet needs, from quick visits to longer stays, I'm available whenever you need me. I work from home with a relaxed schedule, so am free most times of the day for whatever pet needs you have. I am able to be ready whenever you are. I have a fenced in yard and a park close by for walks. I have a fenced in yard and a park close by for walks.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life. I’ve taken care of our family dogs for their care. I have years of experience in dog walking, feeding, and playing with dogs. I am a lover of all dogs. I am a college student and am free all Summer. I can watch your pets/home any day or time. I have a very flexible schedule. While watching your pets, their safety and well-being are my utmost priority as well as following owner's instructions. I provide a fun and loving companion for your pet while you are away.

“We could not be more happy having her watch our senior dog DJ. As an anxious dog I was impressed how comfortable he was around her. He of cause loved all her attention. I have to say we were nervous having someone stay in our house to watch DJ but Chris is so sweet and knowledgeable in her sitting skills, she had made us comfortable with choosing her. We are so glad we did as she did an awesome job. DJ acted like we never left. He even ate his meals while we were gone. Something he's rarely done. We will be singing her praises to others in our neighborhood plus contacting her for ourselves as the need arises. Thank you Chris for treating our dog as if he were your own.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and horses almost my entire life! I have experience with dogs who struggle with dog aggression, leash problems, diabetes etc. I am very patient and understanding and I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! I am self employed so I am able to move my schedule around as needed to accommodate your pet and their personalized schedule. I don’t mind early morning walks as I am up with the sun normally! I am flexible to work with your dog’s current life style, needs, or whatever they may require. I have my own Australian cattle dog who is extremely friendly and willing to accompany your dog if needed or allowed!

About: Since the day I was born, I have lived in a home with numerous types of pets. I have had puppies since the day they came home at eight weeks old, and I have been there to hold their hand when they had left this earth; not only have I seen all stages of life, I have helped take care of them until they are very last breath. My passion is truly to care for others and that also includes animals. Currently, I have two large dogs in my home which we have trained from day one and they are the most loving sweet dogs. I have worked from the basics of sit and stay to fun tricks of rollover, turn around, and have even crate trained. In my almost 30 years of life, I have been around so many types of dogs and it is always my goal to meet and connect and find a common ground with all. I have the patience, commitment, and I am confident that your dog or cat will be and feel safe and happy with me! I have left corporate America and I run a small business out of my home which means I am my own boss and can pick my own schedule! My goal is to have as much availability as possible so I can help as many families as possible. I have two dogs of my own who are on great routines and I would love to assist to help keep your friends on track as well while you may be out of the house at work or running errands, I have availability starting as early as 6 AM and can make it work if we need to go later in the day at night and I am available mostly every single day unless noted in my calendar! Currently, I have two dogs in my home who are very well behaved and get along great with others of any size. My dogs are crate trained, but are also safe to roam around the home and I would have no problem creating a dog at my house as well and walking them around so they can smell all aspects of my home. I have a large backyard, but it is not fenced in as my dogs are on the Invisible fence, however, this is no issue as I have no problem having a long lead for your dog to run and play with my dogs with my supervision in the yard! My home is open floor plan and over 3000 ft.² so there is plenty of room to have fun together!
