About: Hello! My name is Jessica, I recently graduated with my bachelor's in biology with dreams of becoming a Veterinarian. I have experience as an ER Vet Tech and have 10+ years of experience working with a variety of animals! I have one dog and one cat currently in my house that are spoiled rotten, and very friendly! I can stay in the home and look after the animals or I have a very flexible schedule and can come by and take them for an outting. It's all up to the parents. I love sending pictures of the pets too! Call or text me if you have any questions! I am an open book! Can't wait to meet you and your lovely fur babies! I am currently working from home after finishing my degree, and looking into my next step in life. So now that means I am able to fit any scheduling demands or needs of your pet. I have a fenced in back yard but am comfortable walking your pet on a leash. Play time is a must for any animals health and mental wellness.
“My dog is usually shy and skittish with new people, but she warmed up to Valencia very quickly! Our usual sitter was out on vacation and the sitter we booked instead had a family emergency, so I had to find a sitter last minute on a holiday weekend. Valencia was available to watch my dog on very short notice, and she did great!”
“Couldn’t ask for a more sweet, sincere, loving and kind person to take care of our sweet boy while we were away! It made our hearts so happy to see all the updates, pics, and videos of Benny’s vacation. We actually think he may have had a better vacation than we did 😂. Rickie is the absolute BEST and we couldn’t be more appreciative for the time she spent caring for our buds!”
“Dawn is absolutely amazing! She took great care of our girls, sent us photos and updates the whole time. Our corgis loved her and I think were sad we came home! We would highly recommend Dawn for any pet sitting.”
“Penny took such good care of my dog and cat while I was gone. She sent daily pictures and I came back to a happy home & pets! It was great peace of mind knowing they were in good hands while traveling.”
“Brittany did an amazing job caring for our three pups! One of our dogs has some recent onset medical issues and a whole lot of medications. Brittany dealt with it beautifully. We received lots of pictures and videos while we were gone. I think our house was cleaner when we got home than when we left it! Do not hesitate to book Brittany! She’s the best!”
“Amanda was great! Took great care of our beloved pups! We felt very relaxed while we were gone knowing they were safe at home with Amanda. She gave us updates and photos and we loved that. We would definitely use her again.”
“Abel was taken care of. I didn't receive any photos but she answered every time I sent msg checking on him.”
“Jennifer was the best dog sitter ever! Hope loved her so much! They cuddle on the couch all day. She sent us pictures of Hope. Very responsive!”
About: Hey! My name is Jade. I love dogs! I am a stay at home mom and that makes me have a pretty open schedule for walking and visits! I have a car so I am able to do pick up and drop off. I have 3 Dachshunds! Who I adore. I have had special needs dogs in the past so I am experienced in giving medication. I have also fostered dogs before so I have experience with shy or nervous dogs. I have owned dogs for 15 years now. I love all breeds! I am ready to add some fun and excitement to our family with some new fur friends! I can't wait to hear from y'all soon. Thank you. :) I’m a stay at home mom! So I have some free time and I love walking dogs. I’d love to add your dog into the mix. I have a fenced in backyard, and experience with dogs of all sizes. At the moment I’m only able to accept smaller dogs at my house.
About: Lifelong animal lover and proud cat mom. I have experience with little dogs, big dogs, puppies and kittens, and administering medication. I like to get to know your pet's personality and all their little quirks. I am very detail oriented and like to stay organized. I am currently a full-time graduate speech-language pathology student, so I am only working part-time. Weekends (Fri-Sun) work best for me. I am also available for early mornings or late nights on most weekdays. My main goal is to make your pet feel safe and treat them with love like my own pets. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and any other special needs/requests. Regular updates and photos can be provided to keep you feeling comfortable and connected.
“Loren was just amazing! We have 3 fur babies with 3 different personalities and they loved her!! Molly, our oldest, sat next to her when we were touching base and kept giving her sad eyes and Raven, the baby had to give her lots of love before she was able to leave. We will be repeat with Loren! Amazing!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs all ages and sizes for as long as i can remember. I love dogs, and they love me! My puppies have always been my best friend. I am free 24/7 during the summer! During the fall I only have to worry about a few classes a day and will be very flexible. I am a very cautious person so I always like to have an eye on your pups and keep them plenty of company with tons of love!
“Lorelei showed up on time and took great care of Blu even with issues getting into my house (my fault/mistake). We figured it out together and I appreciate her sticking through the issue. She provided pictures and monitored her bowel movements to make sure she went.!”
About: Hi! I work from home and I love spending time with dogs and getting to know their personalities! I have had dogs my whole life ranging from a mini dachshund to a great dane. With my schedule I am able to provide plenty of potty breaks and play time. I have a puppy who loves playing with other dogs and he seems to help make pets feel more comfortable while I'm boarding them! I work from home so I am able to fit in pet care easily! I already have 3 dogs and a big backyard so pet sitting does not change the daily routine much for me. I have a high privacy fence for the backyard to ensure all dogs stay securely in the yard during potty breaks. My home is already puppy proofed for both large and small dogs to accommodate my own pets.
About: I’ve been pet and house sitting for family and friends since I could drive. I love animals, I’m trustworthy, I communicate, and I’m punctual. I recently just got a pup of my own as well! Right now I’m a Firefighter so I work 1 day and get two days off. However my schedule is incredibly flexible so I can take off days easily if you need a longer stay! I do my best to spend most of my time at your home with your animal if I’m house/petsitting. I will occasionally go out to grab food and to see my pup, but other than that your pups are my number 1 priority!
“Our family left to fly out of state for a week. We have an elderly dog and a 7 month old Sheepadoodle. What fun, right? Our puppy has such separation anxiety as he has never really been left alone. We had so many worries. Katie was fantastic! We are so thankful for her. She stayed the night with them every night we were away, checked in with us and sent us pictures. most importantly, when we came home our dogs were calm and happy. We would have known if they had been upset or stressed in any way. We plan to always have Katie in our home!”

Jade D.
“I have known Jade for most of my life, and the one thing that has never changed has been her love for animals. Even when she was a little girl, it was priority number one! Her first dog, Rowdy, was one of the kindest and most fun dogs I have ever known, and her others since are just as great. She has a real talent for knowing what behavior an animal is exhibiting, what it might mean, and how to react to it, almost like a sixth sense. I would let her take care of my dog without hesitation!”
Lindsey K.

Natalie F.
“Natalie might just be the youngest old soul I've ever met! At the ripe old age of 18, her compassion for both people and animals is second only to the legendary Steve Irwin—though I'll admit, as her dad, I might be a tad biased. But trust me, any dog (or human) lucky enough to cross paths with Natalie would quickly agree. Having grown up surrounded by dogs, Natalie has been their trusted friend and caregiver, providing love, belly rubs, and the occasional treat with unwavering enthusiasm. If Natalie watches over your furry family members, you can rest assured they'll be in the most caring and attentive hands. Choose Natalie to look after your dogs and you'll never regret it—you might even find them insisting on extra walks with their new favorite human! 🐾”

Lauren was the best sitter we have ever experienced! One of our dogs is a special needs rescue and is incredibly shy and scared of everything. Lauren was so patient with her and was able to break through the initial barrier. Happy doesn't even describe how we feel about it. Lauren has got a gift, y'all! It was SUCH a relief to know that all four of our fur babes were well cared for and very comfortable while we were gone for an entire week. Lauren provided us with a regular stream of texts, pictures and videos that clearly showed how comfortable our pets were with her. Not only that, we came home to a tidy house! Book her now, she is worth every penny! 🐾
We have two high maintenance GSPs (4yo & almost 14yo) and Rickie was fantastic with them. She made me feel at ease during our meet and greet and while she was at our house. She followed all my instructions, kept our pups happy, and us informed. I highly recommend her to other pet owners, especially those with seniors. We won’t hesitate to use her again in the future!
Amanda was great! Took great care of our beloved pups! We felt very relaxed while we were gone knowing they were safe at home with Amanda. She gave us updates and photos and we loved that. We would definitely use her again.
Isabella did an outstanding job with my puppies! She spent a ton of time with them when I was out of town, which I greatly appreciated, walked them, played with them and cleaned up very nicely to the point that I couldn’t tell anyone had been for a visit! Really appreciated her hard work and loving care!
Lorelei showed up on time and took great care of Blu even with issues getting into my house (my fault/mistake). We figured it out together and I appreciate her sticking through the issue. She provided pictures and monitored her bowel movements to make sure she went.!
