About: Hi! I’m Lauren, an experienced pet sitter with a background as a veterinary receptionist and a lifelong love for animals. I’ve cared for pets professionally for years, trained my own service dog, and have experience administering medications, feeding special diets, and providing lots of love and attention. I offer: ✅ Dog walking, pet sitting, drop-in visits, and overnight stays ✅ Specialized care for senior pets & dogs with medical needs ✅ Plenty of updates & photos so you know your pet is safe Let’s set up a Meet & Greet so I can get to know you and your furry friend! I’d love to help care for them like they’re my own. "Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily life. I have a well-trained service dog, so I’m already in a rhythm of early walks, enrichment activities, and regular care. My remote and flexible work allows me to provide consistent attention to the pets I care for, whether that’s drop-ins, walks, or overnight sitting. I’m used to adjusting my routine around a pet’s individual needs—whether they need extra exercise, medication, or just some snuggle time. Making animals feel safe, happy, and loved is a natural part of my everyday life." "When caring for pets in my client’s home, I always aim to follow their routine as closely as possible to keep things familiar and stress-free. I make sure pets have fresh food and water, plenty of potty breaks, exercise, and, of course, love and attention. I respect the client’s home, clean up after myself and the pet, and provide regular updates with photos so they feel confident their pet is safe and happy while they're away. My goal is to make the pet feel comfortable and the client feel at ease."

“500 ⭐️ STARS for Jennifer! She was prompt, professional, & so reliable about sticking to Lola’s schedule! She clearly cared a lot about my pup’s wellbeing. I will definitely hire her again if I ever travel again. And she’s an amazing person to get to know. Excellent on every point of house/pet sitting. Lola misses her already.”
About: I have always had animals in my house since childhood, but for the first time in 40 years I am without a dog of my own. I would love to be a loving and helping hand/home to a dog and their family. I have owned all types of dogs, big and small, puppies and elderly. I only have a cat so I can take dogs that might not do well around other dogs. I like to go for walks and cuddle with big fur babies. I work full time as a teacher but am only 5 minutes from my home. I can hop back over during the day to let any dog out for a quick potty break. I have weekends off and love to go for walks in the morning and evenings. I have a small fenced in backyard, so dogs can go out to use the bathroom unrestrained. I can also crate if a dog is more comfortable that way.
“Miss Gwyn was an awesome sitter for Mr. Cooper. She arrived right on time and took care of our baby while we got away......I hope to see her again soon. Thank you Gwyn John And Debbie”
“Devin is amazing. It was my 1st time leaving my dogs, and she assured me their care and they sure were. I was worried but she made me feel better by her frequent responses and pictures and video of my dogs. She indeed made my travelling better by the way she took care of my babies.”

“We had an amazing experience with Joshua while we were on vacation! He house-sat for us and took excellent care of both Lloyd and Rose. He went above and beyond, even making sure Rose got her medication on schedule, which gave us such peace of mind. We came home to two very happy pups. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter—thank you, Joshua!”
“Having Amy over to watch my pup this weekend was lovely! She took Dora on a 3-mile walk and my pup was thrilled! When I came home, Dora looked like she had a great weekend and my place was left better than how Amy found it. 10/10 recommend and I would definitely book for future services.”
“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!”

11. 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!”
