Alexandria was flexible with a few last minute changes. She took great care of my pets, including my sick bunny who unwillingly had to take oral medications.

About: Hi! I’m someone who truly loves animals and the joy they bring into everyday life. I have pets of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for them like family. I offer dog sitting as well as house sitting, because I know how much peace of mind matters while you are away! I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, getting to know their unique personalities, and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re gone. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just keeping them company, I’m happy to match their energy and routine. I am very attentive to each pet’s specific needs. I can accommodate feeding schedules, administer medications, and follow any detailed instructions you provide. My goal is always to make sure your pet stays happy and healthy and I want you feel confident they are in good hands. I’ll keep you updated while you’re away so you never have to wonder how things are going. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! I am currently a pharmacy technician / pharmacy student, so my schedule is pretty flexible! I am able to care for your pets at all hours that you may need me! I currently do not offer to sit pets at my own home. However, I am more than happy to stay in your home and keep your babies.

Laura was wonderful! She stayed at my house to take care of our dog, cat, and tortoise and gave many detailed updates with photos each day of her visit. It left me feeling secure and confident that the animals were in good hands. She also left the house clean and exactly as she found it! I would definitely use Laura’s services again.

I cannot possibly say enough great things about our experience with Kelly. She was great with our last minute booking, sent lots of pictures and videos, and made sure my dog had the best time staying at her house. I originally had just requested a basic sit, but Kelly went above and beyond to make sure my pup had a blast.

Mary Ashley did a great job looking after my 5 dogs for a week while I was out of town. I’m pretty sure they thought she was their new mama. I wouldn’t hesitate to have her look after them again. She is responsible, patient and caring. The dogs loved her and everyone was relaxed, happy and well taken care of. All in all a fantastic pet/house sitter.

There are no words to express the great feeling that you have when you know your pet is taken care of and you do not have to worry about them. terrell not only pick them up from the vet. He left their bedding. He went back to get them. He came and let them out when the lights were out and they were very afraid. He showed pictures at every point and I don’t know how or why we did not know about this service before if you want someone who’s going to take care of your pets like they are their own. I recommend Terrell this is an excellent service that I have nothing but 5 Star praise , and I don’t know if Champion and Ozzie would love anyone anymore than Terrell. Thank you so much Terrell for taking care of our boys.

About: Winnie’s Way was born out of love, loss, and everything in between. When I brought home my pup Winnie, she was ten months old — full of spunk, laughter, and a level of mischief that could brighten even the darkest day. Just a month later, she was unexpectedly diagnosed with idiopathic epilepsy, and my world changed overnight. Caring for her meant learning more than I ever imagined — from medication schedules to monitoring and building routines, to understanding what real patience, trust, and intentional care look like. Every day required adaptability, focus, and heart. Even in the toughest moments, Winnie had a way of being oh so sassy, while wagging her tail like she was saying, “I've got this, Dad. I can fight through this!" Though Winnie is no longer here physically, I know she’s watching over me, Goose (her brother and my current sidekick), and every pet I care for. Goose is calm, playful, and loving — happy to play, snuggle, or comfort a new friend as needed. Together, we offer a safe, joyful, and intentional environment where every tail feels valued, loved, and understood. Services backed by experience include: •Dogs of all energy levels and sizes •Special care for medical needs (medications, monitoring) •Socializing multiple pets and managing sibling groups overnight •Creating safe, calm, and fun environments tailored to each dog •Administering routines, medications, and gentle care **Optional Meet & Greet: I offer a meet-and-greet prior to overnight stays so your pup can get familiar with Goose and me — ensuring a smooth, happy transition. Winnie’s Way isn’t just a name — it’s a promise: to care with intention, love without condition, and make sure every pet feels seen, safe, and deeply loved… mischief and all. Caring for dogs is an integral part of my personal routine. I structure my week around creating a calm, predictable environment where every pup feels safe, loved, and included. **Mornings: Start my day with Goose, walks, and breakfast; this sets a positive tone for any visiting pups. **Daytime: Flexible work from home / personal time allows for potty breaks, play, or snuggles as needed. **Evenings: Dedicated play, training reinforcement, and snuggle time; ensures pups have attention and care before bedtime. **Weekends / Off-Days: Focus on enrichment, socialization, or longer walks, making sure pups feel stimulated and happy while you’re away. **Overnight Stays: Structured bedtime routines and monitoring to ensure safe, restful nights for all dogs. This setup allows me to consistently provide intentional, reliable care while balancing my personal life. Goose and I are fully part of this routine, so visiting pups are seamlessly included in our daily rhythm. At Winnie’s Way, caring for dogs is part of my everyday life — it’s not an afterthought. My schedule is built around providing attention, structure, and fun for every pup in my care. Daily: Morning: Wake-up, feeding, potty break, and a short play or walk session to start the day energized Midday: Potty breaks and attention as needed, including gentle playtime or cuddles for indoor pups Evening: Feeding, supervised playtime or snuggles, and a calm wind-down before bedtime Overnight: Monitoring, comfort, and safe rest areas to ensure a restful night Weekly: Consistent feeding and walking routines tailored to each dog Enrichment activities, socialization with Goose (if appropriate), and training reinforcement Flexible schedule to accommodate special needs, puppy care, or extra-long stays I also offer optional meet-and-greets prior to overnight stays to introduce your pup to Goose and me, making sure the environment feels familiar and safe from day one. By structuring my week around the pets in my care, every dog gets the attention, consistency, and love they need — whether they’re here for a short visit, overnight, or a longer stay.

About: I’ve been working with dogs for over 19 years and provide a structured, calm, and safe environment in my home. I have a dedicated dog room with secure kennels, supervised interaction, and clear boundaries. I currently own and train multiple dogs, including a fully trained service animal and another dog I’ve personally raised and developed. This gives me strong experience with behavior, energy management, and different personalities. Dogs in my care are treated like family, but with structure. They can enjoy comfort like furniture once they demonstrate respectful behavior and cleanliness. I do not allow destructive or uncontrolled habits. I’m comfortable with puppies and can reinforce basic training, routine, and good behavior during their stay. I also provide advanced training reinforcement as part of my care. Dogs naturally work on obedience, confidence, impulse control, and daily mental and physical engagement while they’re here. I have experience building service-style task foundations and higher-level behavior, but I do not certify service animals. Every dog benefits from structure in my home, whether they need basic manners or more advanced work. My focus is safety, consistency, and communication so every dog is properly supervised, exercised, and leaves more balanced, responsive, and confident. Pet care is part of my daily routine, not something I fit in on the side. I’m home most of the day, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, structured interaction, and regular potty breaks, exercise, and mental engagement. My background in disciplined environments has shaped how I run my home—dogs here benefit from routine, clear expectations, and a calm, controlled atmosphere. Each day includes a balance of activity, training reinforcement, and rest so dogs stay healthy, settled, and stress-free. Because I’m available throughout the day, I can adapt to each dog’s needs—whether that’s higher energy, puppy structure, or a more relaxed pace. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care so owners can feel confident their dog is safe, engaged, and well looked after at all times. Safety, trust, and structure are the foundation of how I care for every dog. My home is set up specifically for pet care, with a dedicated dog room, secure kennels, and supervised interaction at all times. I carefully manage introductions and only allow dogs to interact once they are calm, balanced, and a good fit. Dogs in my care follow a structured routine that includes regular potty breaks, exercise, mental stimulation, and rest. I maintain clear boundaries while still allowing comfort—dogs can enjoy furniture and a relaxed environment once they demonstrate respectful behavior and cleanliness. I require dogs to be crate familiar or comfortable with structured downtime. Owners are encouraged to provide a crate or familiar setup for overnight stays, though I have limited kennel space available if needed. I prioritize communication and will keep owners updated with how their dog is doing. My goal is to provide a calm, controlled environment where dogs feel safe, are properly supervised, and leave more balanced and well cared for than when they arrived.

About: I’ve grown up around animals all my life, from cats, birds, reptiles, goats, chickens, and dogs. I’ve personally owned multiple dogs growing up, ranging from Chihuahua mixes (small) to Anatolian Shepards (100lb+). I’m able to administer medicines, including kitties, and I do own a clicker for simple tricks and training. I’m very good snd patient at taking care of senior or older pets as well since they need a lil’ extra love. I’ve also done pet sitting before several times already, and I love spending time with them all!! I’m working part time currently, working 1-2 days a week, so I will have lots and lots of free time to take care of, visit, or walk your babies! I plan to build a trusted relationship with your kitty or doggy, love them, and treat them as if they were my own. This means I will always leash your dog if taken for a walk, harness if needed. On hot days, I will always bring a water bottle and collapsible container for your puppy to ensure a fun and safe walk for everyone. For any emergency safety situations, I do plan to carry pepper spray for both of our safety. I also have a fanny pack for treats (with your approval), doggy bags for poo, and wipes for paws as needed. Kitties deserve the same level of love and care as our canines, so I will be sure to always leave with a clean litter box, monitor them for any abnormal behaviors, brush them as needed, and make sure everyone has access to fresh drinking water. Any special food plans, medications, or specific tasks can and will be done according to your directions and instruction. You know them best, after all! 💞 All of my services will include several pictures and fun videos to share with you so you don’t miss any of it. 🌟

About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life. I’ve cared for dogs from 5lbs to 140lbs. I worked as a kennel technician at a veterinary clinic for a year, and I’ve been pet sitting for 2 years. I’m trained to trim nails, preform anal gland expressions, and administer oral medication as well as insulin. I currently work at an animal shelter from 8am - 5pm and I’m only off on Monday and Friday so unfortunately those are the only two days I’m available all day. I’m more than happy to do short visits, overnight visits, or walks on all other days after 6pm though! I clean my cats litter box twice a day. I guarantee all cats and dogs have access to abundant amounts of water, I free feed my cats, and my dogs eat twice a day according to their weight. I take the dogs out every 2-3 hours, and always after a meal time. I am comfortable giving medicine, bathing, and trimming nails.

Margaret was great with all 5 of our animals, 3 dogs and 2 cats. We have 2 dogs that are under the age of 2 with LOTS of energy. She played with them a few times a day to make sure they got some of that energy out. She also kept in constant communication with us and sent pictures. This is the first time we used a dog / house sitter that we are not related to, so we were a little nervous, but Margaret put us at ease immediately. The dogs loved her so much they all slept with her every night!
